Objective To examine the effect of hydroxyethyl starch (HES 6%, 200/0.5) on reticuloendothelial system (RES) function in hemorrhagic shock. Methods Thirty 8 to 12-week-old Wistar rats weighing 250-350g were randomly divided into two groups: HES group ( n = 15) and control group ( n =15) . The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal 0.5% pentobarbital sodium 30mg ?kg-1 Bilateral common carotid arteries were exposed and cannulated for MAP monitoring and blood-letting. Blood was gradually removed until MAP dropped to 40mm Hg, which was maintained for 60min. Then same amount of HES (HES group) or Dextran (control group) was infused. The Kupffer cells were separated and purified before hemorrhagic shock (T0), at 12h (T1) 24h (T2) 48h (T3) and 72h (T4) after HES or DEX infusion, when the animals recovered from shock. Phagocytic activity of Kupffer cells (KC) was measured by counting the amount of Latex particles ingested by KC. Results At the same intervals (T1-4) there was no significant difference in phagocytic activity of KC between the two groups. There was no significant difference in phagocytic activity of KC between T0 (baseline) and T1-4 in both groups.Conclusions The phagocytic activity of Kupffer cells in not affected by removed of 20-30% blood volume which was replaced by same amount of HES.

Objective To investigate the different characteristics of vertebral basilar artery between isolated vertigo and dizziness with ischemic stroke history by magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) information,and find the independent risk factors of isolated vertigo.Methods From January 2015 to January 2016,isolated vertigo patients from our department were enrolled in study group (vertigo group),and dizzy patients with ischemic stroke history in control group (dizziness group).The patient's general information,and the relevant vascula data of the MRA were statistically analyzed to find the risk factors.Results A total of 118 patients with isolated vertigo was enrolled in the vertigo group,and 74 patients with dizziness after ischemic stroke were used as a control group.There were significant statistical differences in mean diameter of the right vertebral artery,rate of stenosis of basilar artery,vertigo history,the left vertebral artery hypoplasia,basilar artery skewing,and basilar artery hypoplasia between two groups (P ＜ 0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that vertigo history (P =0.049,OR =3.822,95％ CI =1.004 ～ 14.548),the right vertebral artery hypoplasia (P =0.001,OR =6.083,95％ C1 =2.193 ～ 16.876),the left vertebral artery hypoplasia (P =0.006,OR =5.110,95 ％ CI =1.615 ～ 16.170),and mean diameter of the right vertebral artery (P =O.000,OR =3.143,95％ CI =1.724 ～ 5.730) were independent risk factors for isolated vertigo,and basilar artery skewing (P =0.018,OR =O.436,95％ CI =0.219 ～ O.866),and degree of basilar artery stenosis (P =0.006,0R =0.634,95％ CI =0.459 ～0.877) were the protective factors.Conclusions The right vertebral artery hypoplasia,the left vertebral artery hypoplasia,and mean diameter of the right vertebral artery are independent risk factors for isolated vertigo.Basilar artery skewing and degree of basilar artery stenosis may be the protective factors.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the absorption characteristics of dauricine in rat intestine. METHODS: In situ single-pass perfusion model was used and the concentrations of dauricine in perfusate were determined by HPLC. The effects of perfusion rates, intestinal segments and drug concentrations on the intestinal absorption of dauricine were studied. RESULTS: The absorption rate and absorption degree of dauricine increased with the perfusion rates(0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 mL · min-1)(P<0.05); the absorption rate constants of dauricine in duodenum, jejunum, ileum and colon were not significantly different(P>0.05); at high, middle and low concentrations, the drug absorption rate constants(Ka) were (2.36±0.0073) × 10-2, (3.73 ± 0.0052) × 10-2 and(5.62 ± 0.0136) × 10-2 min-1, respectively, the apparent permeation coefficients(P.,) were(2.02±0.0002) × 103, (3.10±0.0007) × 10-3 and (5.31±0.0010) × 10-3 cm · min-1, respectively, the absorption percentages(P%) were 8.66%, 10.17% and 19.06%, respectively, and the accumulate absorption amount and accumulate absorption percentages of different concentrations at different time were very low. CONCLUSION: The absorption degree of dauricine increases with perfusion rates; there is no specific absorption site in the whole rat intestinal tract; the absorption of dauricine is very poor and the active transport is involved in the absorption mechanism of dauricine.

Objective:To identify potentially pleiotropic genes for lean body mass ( LBM ) and age at menarche ( AAM).Methods:The discovery sample consisted of 1 692 unrelated female subjects of European ancestry.The replication sample consisted of 801 unrelated female subjects of Han Chinese ancestry.A total of 909,622 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped in both samples with the Affymetrix genome-wide genotyping array SNP 6.0.Bivariate genome-wide association analyses were then performed to the appendicular LBM and AAM.Results: Two SNP rs1860547 and rs11030746 identified by the bivariate GWAS were significant at the genome-wide significance (GWS) level;their P-values were <0.05 after replications.In the upstream of rs1860547, two genes KCNA1 and KCNA5 were found to be important for both LBM and AAM.In the downstream of rs11030746, one gene KCNA4 was found.Univariate GWAS also identified both SNPs to be significant at the GWS level; their P-values were <0.05 after replications.In the upstream of rs1860547 , two genes KCNA1 and KCNA5 are found to be important for LBM.In the downstream of rs11030746 , one gene KCNA4 was found.Conclusion:KCNA1, KCNA4 and KCNA5 are likely to be pleiotropic genes closely related to both LBM and AAM in European females.

Objective To Observe the influence of Zaoshi Jiedu Zhupi Sanjing (ZPSJ) Recipe on insulin sensitivity, serum resistin and inflammatory factors related to the effects of Chinese herbal compound in type 2 diabetic patients with insulin resistance. Methods A single-blind randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted. 80 patients with 2 type diabetic patients with insulin resistance were recruited into a control group and a treatment group. The treatment group was treated with ZPSJ Recipe, and the control group was treated with metformin. Results In each group before and after treatment: blood glucose, serum insulin levels, HOMA-IR were significantly decreased (t=7.14, P<0.01 ) ; between the two groups, FPG, FINS showed no significant difference, while TG TCH, HOMA-LR showed significantly differences (t=2.62, P <0.05 ). Within the two groups before and after the treatment: serum IL-6, TNF-a, hs-CRP were decreased in treatment group, (t= 1.85, P<0.05 ) , while TNF-a, hs-CRP were decreased in the control group (t=2.56, P<0.05 ) , while IL-6 did not change significantly. The serum resistin levels were not statistically changed in both groups before and after treatment. Conclusion ZPSJ Recipe can regulate blood sugar, blood fat and improve insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetic patients with insulin resistance.

Objective To investigate the correlation between the morphological characteristics of vertebrobasilar artery on magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and isolated vertigo. Methods The patients with isolated vertigo were enrolled retrospectively as a case group. Other patients without vertigo were selected over the same period as a control group. The clinical data and MRA data were collected. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to identify the independent risk factors for isolated vertigo. Results A total of 118 patients with isolated vertigo and 179 controls were enrolled. Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in left vertebral artery bending degree, basilar artery stenosis rate, previous stroke, dolichoec tatic basilar artery, and left and right vertebral artery hypoplasia between the two groups (all P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that previous vertigo (odds ratio [OR] 6.177, 95%confidence interval [CI] 1.945-19.620; P = 0.002), more serious left vertebral artery bending (OR 1.860, 95% CI 1.127-3.069; P =0.015), and left vertebral artery hypoplasia (OR 4.543,95% CI 1.761-11.721; P = 0.002) were the independent risk factors for isolated vertigo, and previous stroke ( OR 0.377, 95% CI 0.162-0.877; P = 0.024), basal artery hypoplasia ( OR 0.401, 95% CI 0.193-0.830; P = 0.014) were its protective factors. Conclusions Previous vertigo, more serious left vertebral artery bending, and left vertebral artery hypoplasia are the independent risk factors for isolated vertigo, and previous stroke and basal artery hypoplasia may be its protective factors.
