AIM: To explore the role of endogenous ouabain (EO) in the development of hypertension and its secretion character in 1k1c hypertensive rats(HR). METHODS: EO contents of plasma and tissues in 1k1c HR were detected by ELISA. The relationships between plasma and tissues ouabain and blood pressure were analyzed. RESULTS: EO contents of plasma, heart, kidney, adrenal gland, pituitary and hypothalamus in lklc HR were significantly higher than those of normal rats, especially in the adrenal gland and hypothalamus. EO contents of serum, kidney and hypothalamus were correlated with blood pressure. CONCLUSIONS: EO might play an important role in the development of hypertension in 1k1c hypertensive rats. Adrenal gland might be the major source of EO.

Objective To study the effect of hyaluronidase and VEGF on human breast cancer invasion and metastasis. Methods By means of ELSA and immunohistochemistry, hyaluronidase and VEGF were detected in breast cancer. Results Hyaluronidase were (3.99?1.91) mU/g, (8.01?2.59) mU/g and (12.00?3.96) mU/g in gradeⅠ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ of breast cancer respectively. Hyaluronidase levels were significantly elevated in grade Ⅱ,Ⅲ as compared to grade Ⅰ, Hyaluronidase levels were significantly elevated in grade Ⅲ as compared to grade Ⅱ(P

Objective To evaluate the relation of circadian blood pressure rhythm with vascular status in elderly patients with isolated systolic hypertension.MethodsAnkle-brachial index (ABI),brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) were measured in 74 elderly patients with non-dipper hypertension (non-dipper group)、78 elderly patients with dipper hypertension ( dipper group),and 72 healthy controls ( control group).Results In comparison with the dipper group,baPWV and IMT of the non-dipper group were significantly increased [ baPWV (1801.61± 314.27) vs (1658.67±274.80) (cm/s)],P＜0.01; IMT:(0.96 ±0.22) vs (0.87 +0.19) (mm),(P＜0.05),while ABI of the non-dipper group was decreased (1.03 ±0.17 vs1.12 ±0.18,P＜0.01).Identification rate was significantly different among 3 groups when baPWV ＞1400 cm/s (x2 =12.57,P ＜0.01) or ABI ＜0.9 ( x2 =9.74,P ＜0.01).The detection of carotid plaques was also significantly different ( x2 =16.49,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions These findings suggest that vascular damage could be found in elderly patients with isolated systolic hypertension,especially in those with non-dipper hypertension.ABI,baPWV and IMT measurement may be helpful for the assessment of vascular status.

Objective To explore the effect of comprehensive intervention measure on antimicrobial use and incidence of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in patients in sports medicine department.Methods Antimicrobial use and incidence of HAI in hospitalized patients in the surgical departments (sports medicine department and other surgical departments)of a hospital between January 2006 and December 2010 were analyzed retrospectively(before intervention),from January 2011, comprehensive intervention based on clinical-centered multi-department cooperation was adopted by sports medicine depart-ment,the other surgical departments over the same period were not comprehensively intervened;antimicrobial use and inci-dence of HAI in patients in surgical departments between January 2012 and December 2013 were monitored prospectively (after intervention ),effectiveness of intervention was evaluated.Results Antimicrobial use and incidence of HAI in pa-tients in sports medicine department after intervention were both lower than before intervention (55.75% vs 95.26%,χ2=753.42;0.10% vs 0.32% ,χ2 =15.13,both P <0.01).Antimicrobial use in patients in other surgical departments after intervention was lower than that before intervention(65.63% vs 73.79% ,χ2 =251.57,P <0.01 );incidence of HAI was higher than that before intervention(0.55% vs 0.42% ,χ2 =19.04,P <0.01).Conclusion Comprehensive in-tervention measure based on clinical-centered multi-department cooperation is safe and effective,it can reduce antimicrobial use and incidence of HAI in patients in sports medicine department.

Objective To evaluate the changes of thyroid function during pregnancy in the second and third trimester in the regions with or without iodine deficiency. Methods The serum TSH, FT 3, FT 4 and TT 4 levels of 90 pregnant women (30 from iodine deficient area as study group, 60 from iodine sufficient area as control group) and 30 non pregnant women were assayed by high sensitive immunoradiometric assay (IRMA) or radioimmunoassay (RIA), and urine iodine level of pregnant women before delivery was also examined. Results (1) The serum TSH level in pregnant women in the second and third trimester was significantly higher than that of non pregnant women. The serum free thyroid hormone levels of pregnant women were significantly lower than that of non pregnant women, especially in the third trimester. (2) The serum TSH level of pregnant women from iodine deficient area in the second trimester and before delivery was significantly higher than that of pregnant women from iodine sufficient area (P

Objective To explore the effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) on motor function in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) using meta-analysis. Methods Eight comparative studies of the effects of TMS were meta-analyzed. Results The combined studies confirmed a significant difference before and after TMS treatment. Between the experimental and control groups the effect was also highly significant. Conclusion TMS may play an active role in the rehabilitation of motor function for patients with Parkinson's disease.
