Objective:To explore application of targeted contrast enhanced ultrasonography in diagnosis of early stage vascular endothelial injury and diabetic nephropathy.Methods:Targeted SonoVue-TM microbubble was prepared by attaching anti-TM monoclonal antibody to the surface of ordinary micro-bubble SonoVue by biotin-avidin bridge method and ultrasonic instrument was used to evaluate the developing situation of targeted microbubble in vitro. Twenty 12-week-old male GK rats and 20 Wistar rats were enrolled in this study, and were randomly divided into targeted angiography group and ordinary angiography group. Targeted microbubbles SonoVue-TM or general microbubble SonoVue were rapidly injected to the rats via tail vein; the developing situation of the two contrast agents in rats kidneys was dynamically observed. Time intensity curve was used to analyse rat kidney perfusion characteristics in different groups. Results:Targeted ultrasound microbubble SonoVue-TM was successfully constructed, and it could be used to develop an external image. Targeted microbubbles SonoVue-TM enabled clear development of experimental rat kidney. Time intensity curve shapes of rat kidney of the two groups showed as single apex with steep ascending and slowly descending branch. Compared with the control group, the rising slope of the GK rat renal cortex, medulla in targeted angiography group increased(P<0.05); the peak intensity of medulla increased (P<0.05), and the total area under the curve of medulla increased (P<0.05). Compared with control group, the ascending branch of the GK rat in renal cortex, medulla in ordinary angiography group increased (P<0.05). The peak intensity of the curve increased (P<0.05), and the total area under the curve increased (P<0.05). Compared with the ordinary angiography group, the peak of GK rat medullacurve in targeted angiography group intensity increased (P<0.05), and the total area under the curve increased (P<0.05).Conclusions:Targeted microbubbles SonoVue-TM can make a clear development of experimental rat kidney, its stable performance meet the requirement of ultrasonic observation time limit, and it can reflect early changes of blood perfusion in GK rat kindey.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effect of the combination of mouse nerve growth factor and edaravone in the treatment of carbon monoxide poisoning and its effect on patients′ cognitive function, lactic acid clearance rate, and related indicators of oxygen free radicals.Methods:A selection of 158 patients with carbon monoxide poisoning in the Huxi Hospital Affilliated Jining Medical College from May 2017 to June 2020 were divided into study group (80 cases) and control group (78 cases) according to the treatment plan. Both groups were given conventional treatment. On this basis, the control group was given edaravone, and the study group was given mouse nerve growth factor combined with edaravone, both of which were treated for 2 weeks. The clinical efficacy of the two groups was compared with those before treatment and 1 week and 2 weeks after treatment. Neurological impairment score (NIHSS), disease severity score (APACHE Ⅱ), cognitive function score (MMSE), serum inflammatory factors [tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP)], oxygen free radical related indicators [lipid peroxide (LPO), superoxide dismutase (SOD), gluten Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), malondialdehyde (MDA)] levels, blood lactic acid levels before treatment and lactic acid clearance rates after 12 h, 24 h, 72 h treatment, and statistics of adverse reactions and 30-day mortality.Results:The total effective rate of the study group was higher than that of the control group after 2 weeks of treatment [95.00% (76/80) vs. 78.21% (61/78)] ( P<0.05); NIHSS and APACHEⅡ scores of the study group after 1 week and 2 weeks of treatment Lower than the control group: (6.08 ± 1.15) points vs. (8.94 ± 1.71) points, (4.58 ± 0.74) points vs. (6.32 ± 0.93) points and (6.79 ± 1.03) points vs. (8.02 ± 1.47) points, (5.94 ± 1.47) points vs. (7.25 ± 0.94) points, the MMSE score was higher than that of the control group: (22.09 ± 4.35) points vs. (19.34 ± 5.32) points, (26.05 ± 2.37) points vs. (22.47 ± 4.64) points ( P<0.05) After 1 and 2 weeks of treatment, the serum TNF-α, IL-6, CRP, LPO and MDA levels in the study group were lower than those in the control group: (22.62 ± 4.12) ng/L vs. (29.43 ± 4.68) ng/L and (18.21 ± 2.09) ng/L vs. (24.37 ± 3.16) ng/L, (39.67 ± 4.35) ng/L vs. (52.14 ± 5.48) ng/L and (34.83 ± 3.75) ng/L vs. (41.07 ± 4.09) ng/L, (12.63 ± 1.85) mg/L vs. (17.02 ± 2.47) mg/L and (8.27 ± 1.16) mg/L vs. (11.05 ± 1.62) mg/L, (11.06 ± 1.28) μmol/L vs. (15.97 ± 1.85) μmol/L and (8.24 ± 1.12) μmol/L vs. (12.97 ± 1.40) μmol/L, (7.15 ± 1.16) μmol/L vs. (9.02 ± 1.47) μmol/L and (6.12 ± 0.96) μmol/L vs. (7.84 ± 1.25) μmol/L, the levels of SOD and GSH-PX were higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05); the lactate clearance rate in the study group was higher than that in the control group after 12, 24 and 72 h of treatment: (18.49 ± 3.63)% vs. (14.62 ± 2.95)%, (23.19 ± 4.20)% vs. (17.42 ± 3.57)%, (29.86 ± 6.37)% vs. (25.38 ± 5.21)% ( P<0.05); the incidence of adverse reactions in the study group during treatment Compared with the control group, there was no significant difference ( P>0.05); there was no significant difference in the 30-day mortality between the study group and the control group ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The combination of mouse nerve growth factor and edaravone in the treatment of carbon monoxide poisoning can reduce the severity of disease and neurological deficits, improve cognitive function and lactate clearance rate, reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, improve efficacy, and have good safety.
