Objective To investigate the effect of clemastine fumarate on lung ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rabbits.Methods Fifty New Zealand white rabbits of both sexes,weighing 2.0-3.0 kg,were divided into 3 groups using a random number table:sham operation group (Sham group,n =10),I/R group (n =20) and clemastine fumarate group (Cle group,n =20).The model of lung I/R was established by clamping the left hilum of lung and decreasing the tidal volume followed by restoration of perfusion and ventilation 1 h later in I/R and Cle groups.At 3 h of ventilation in group Sham and 2 and 4 h of reperfusion in I/R and Cle groups,blood samples were collected for determination of serum tumor necrosis factoralpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) concentrations by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The left lung was lavaged,and the broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was colleted for determination of white blood cell count.Lung specimens were obtained for microscopic examination of the ultrastructure of lung tissues and for determination of wet/dry weight ratio (W/D ratio),expression of IL-1β and IL-6 mRNA (by real-time polymerase chain reaction) and cell apoptosis (by TUNEL).The apoptosis rate was calculated.Results Compared with Sham group,the W/D ratio,white blood cell count in BALF,serum concentrations of TNF-α and IL-8 and apoptosis rate were significantly increased,and the expression of IL-1β and IL-6 mRNA was up-regulated in I/R and Cle groups (P<0.05 or 0.01).Compared with I/R group,the W/D ratio,white blood cell count in BALF,serum concentrations of TNF-α and IL-8 and apoptosis rate were significantly decreased,and the expression of IL-1β and IL-6 mRNA was down-regulated in Cle group (P<0.05 or 0.01).The pathological changes of lung tissues were significantly attenuated in Cle group than in I/R group.Conclusion Clemastine fumarate can attenuate lung I/R injury in rabbits.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of nerve injury and incidence of carpal tunnel syndrome(CTS)indiabeticpatientsbymeasuringthenerveconductionvelocity(NCV). Methods Atotalof387 inpatients with type 2 diabetes were selected in Kaifeng Central Hospital from July 1, 2011 to October 1, 2014. The abnormal rates of NCV between left and right or male and female for the same name nerve were compared. The examinations to median nerves were paid particular attention and the segmental test was performed. Results Among 387 patients, 333 cases showed abnormal NCV, and 162 patients (41. 9%) presented with CTS. The incidence of sensory nerve injury was higher than that of motor nerve injury. The nerve injury often occurred in the dominant hand, but the injury of bilateral hand were also found in some patients. In 162 patients with CTS, 91 patients presented with clinical manifestations and signs, and the rest were without discomfort in their hands. The percentages of SCV(34. 1%vs 25. 6%, P=0. 012) and MCV (40. 3% vs 29. 5%, P=0. 020) abnormality in the right median nerve were higher than those in the left side. No significant difference of the other nerves was found between left and right. Significant differences in the percentages of abnormality in SCV of the left median nerve (21. 4%vs 30. 5%, P=0. 047) and the right median nerve (28. 6%vs 40. 1%, P=0. 013) between man and woman were found. The abnormal rates of other nerves were without statistically significant between man and women. Conclusions The incidence of CTS is high in diabetic patients. Usually, it firstly occurs in sensory nerves, followed by motor nerves, especially in the dominant hand.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value comparatively of CT and radiography in pneumoconiosis.Methods Chest radiographic and CT images were analyzed retrospectively in 52 cases with pneumoconiosis.Results The pulmonary disseminated small shadowes (diameter 10 mm),13 cases and 9 cases were detected by CT and radiography respectively.20 cases (5 pneumonia,3 pulmonary tuberculosis,1 lung cancer,6 pneumothorax,4 pulmonary emphysema) and 10 cases (1 pneumonia,1 pulmonary tuberculosis,6 pneumothorax,2 pulmonary emphysema) with complications were showed by CT and radiography respectively.Conclusion CT is not superior to radiography in diagnosis of simple pneumoconiosis,but CT is superior to radiography detecting the big shadow of lung and complications,and it can help radiologists to avoid mistakes.

Objective To explore the expression change of Toll Like Receptor 4 (TLR4) in lung ischemia-reperfusion injury in rabbits and the influence of clemastine fumarate on it. Methods Fifty rabbits were divided into five groups randomly (n=10): Sham (N+S), reperfusion for 2 hours (N+I1/R2), reperfusion for 4 hours (N+I1/R4), clemastine fumarate + reperfusion for 2 hours (F+I1/R2) and clemastine fumarate+reperfusion for 4 hours (F+I1/R4). The ischemia time in each group was 1 hour and normal saline was given respectively in groups of N+S , N+I1/R2 and N+I1/R4. Western blotting , RT-PCR and immunofluorescence were used to detect the expression of TLR4 in lung tissue , and the changes of ultrastructure in ischemia-reperfusion lung tissue were observed by electron microscope. Result The expression of TLR4 was elevated obviously in ischemia-reperfusion lung tissue (P<0.05), and there was positive correlation between the increased TLR4 level and reperfusion time (P<0.05), the swelled and thick-ridge mitochondria were observed in type II alveolar epithelial cells after LIRI (P<0.05); but clemastine fumarate inhibited the expression of TLR4 in lung tissue significantly caused by LIRI (P<0.05). And the mitochondria injury was reduced in the groups of clemastine fumarate. Conclusion TLR4 expression is elevated in lung tissue after LIRI; clemastine fumarate inhibits the expression of TLR4 caused by LIRI and protects the lung tissue from LIRI in rabbits.

AlM:To investigate the effect of cyclosporine A ( CsA) on the phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase ( Pl-3k ) pathway during procession of proliferation in epithelial cells of rabbit lens, and provide treatment strategies for after cataract on the basis of experiment.
METHODS: Sixty eyes of 30 healthy white rabbits were operated by lens cortex removal in cataract surgery, and 30 right eyes were divided in treatment group and the other 30 eyes were divided in control group. From the first postoperative day, the control group eyes were dropped with normal saline 6 times each day, and the treatment group eyes were dropped with 1% CsA 6 times each day. Six rabbits were selected randomly and killed on the day before dropping and 1, 2wk, 1 and 2mo of postoperative day respectively. The lens of those killed rabbits were removed by surgery. The strategies of immunohistochemistry and mount in situ hybridization were used to detect the content of proliferating cell nuclear antigen ( PCNA) , gene of phosphate and tension homology deleted on chromsome ten ( PTEN) mRNA, Ser473-R, respectively.
RESULTS:The expression of PCNA and Ser473-R were both down-regulate after operation in treatment group and control group, and the PCNA levels were significantly lower among treatment group than those in control group on 1wk (0.690±0.035 vs 0.785±0.015, t=6.099, P<0.01) and 2wk (0. 571±0. 038 vs 0. 670±0. 037, t=4. 585, P<0. 01). ln addition, the levels of Ser473 - R were significantly lower among treatment group than those in control group on 1wk (0.374±0.031 vs 0.435±0.030, t=3.486, P=0.006) and 2wk (0. 220±0. 022 vs 0. 251±0. 020, t=2. 516, P=0. 031). However, the expression levels of PTEN mRNA were continually increased 1wk~1mo after operation, in which the expression levels of PTEN mRNA were significantly higher among treatment group than those in control group on 1wk (0. 302±0. 027 vs 0. 255±0. 038, t=2. 474, P=0. 033).
CONCLUSlON:1% CsA could inhibit the proliferation of epithelial cells in lens of rabbits with after cataract through preventing Pl-3k pathway.
