Objective To investigate whether intrauterine hypoxia and ischemia can produce long-time effects or NOSI can prevent these damages. Methods Fetal rat intrauterine distress model was constructed. The rats were divided into the normal group, hypoxia and ischemia reperfnsion group and treatment group. Pupa were given to surrogate mothers and the ability of learning and memory at 40 day of age after delivery were examined. Then the water maze test was performed to detect the space learning ability and memory function of rats, and the changing of synaptophysin levels in hippocampns were detected by immunohistochemical staining. Result Behavioral results show that fetal distress produces cognitive impairment demonstrated by Morris water maze performance including a higher escape latency score and a de-creased cross platform time. The COD of Syp positive immunoreactive product in hippocampus were less decreased than that in the normal group or NOSI group. But the behavioral results and the COD of synaptophysin had no difference between normal group and NOSI group. Conclusions Fetal distress produced cognitive impairment and led to the decreasing of synaptophysin in hippocampns. Effective measure can relieve these damages.

Objective To vie the effect of theophylline on eosinophil (Eos) apoptosis. Methods EDTA-anticoagulated venous blood was obtained from 15 healthy volunteers and pre-incubated with saline or theophylline (10 -4 M) or dexamethasone and rhIL-5(10 -8 M),respectively.The mRNA of bcl-2 and bax were determined by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR),and their cytoplasm proteins were determined by flo cytometry. Results Analysis revealed that the bax protein express intracellular without any stimulator,but not bcl-2 in protein and mRNA levels.And culturing Eos in the presence of 10 -8 M IL-5 for 24 hours up-regulating bcl-2 mRNA ( P

Objective :To investigate relationship between the glossoscopy objectivised image and kidey-biopsy pathology type of patients with primary glomerulopathy.Methods: The tongue image(including color clustering of tongue images and tongue shapes) of 66 patients with primary glomerulopathy were taken by Snakes Algorithm of Tongue Image Handling System and pathology diagnosis of kidney was also done in the same time,t-test was adopted to analyse the correlation of the glossoscopy objectivised image and kidey-biopsy pathology type of patients.Result: The result show that there are significant differences among tongue images of different pathology types(P

Objective To investigate the effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on seizure frequency in epilepsy patients complicated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Methods Subjects were divided into CPAP group (20 subjects) and medication group (22 subjects) according to whether they can tolerate CPAP. CPAP group were treated with CPAP combined with antiepileptic drugs. Medication group were treated with antiepileptic drugs alone. Seizure frequency and apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) were compared between groups before and after 4 weeks and 24 weeks of treatment. Results Baseline seizure frequency and apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) were compared between groups(P>0.05). A sig?nificant reduction of seizure frequency was observed in CPAP group after 4 weeks and 24 weeks of treatment compared to that before treatment (P<0.01). In medication group, no significant difference in seizure frequency was noted betweem 4 weeks and 24 weeks after treatment compared to that before treatment(P>0.05). A significant reduction of AHI was ob?served in the CPAP group after 24 weeks of treatment compared to that before treatment (P<0.01), but no change of AHI by treatment was observed in medication group (P>0.05). Conclusion Treatment of OSA in patients complicated with epilep?sy may improve seizure control in short and long term, but longer observation time and more samples are needed for further research.

OBJECTIVE: To establish headspace capillary gas chromatography for the content determination of residual solvents in letrozole, such as chloroform, ethanol, acetone, ethyl acetate, DMF and isopropanol. METHODS: Dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide, chloroform, ethanol, acetone, ethyl acetate, DMF and isopropanol in letrozole were determined by headspace gas chromatography with HP-5 capillary gas chromatography. ECD was applied for chloroform, while FID was applied for the other residual solvents. RESULTS: The liner ranges of chloroform, ethanol, acetone, ethyl acetate, DMF and isopropanol were 1.028～10.28 mg?L-1(r=0.999 9), 94.68～946.8 mg?L-1 (r=0.999 7), 94.64～946.4 mg?L-1(r=0.999 7), 110.64～1 106.4 mg?L-1(r=0.999 7), 15.12～151.2 mg?L-1(r=0.999 6), 116.48～1 164.8 mg?L-1(r=0.999 5), respectively. The average recoveries of the residual organic solvents ranged from 97% to 102%. The detection limits were 20～90 ?g?L-1. The residual levels of the six organic solvents in three batches of samples were all up to the standard stipulated in Chinese Pharmacopeia. CONCLUSIONS: The method is simple, sensitive, accurate and reliable for the content determination of residual organic solvents in letrozole.

Objective To investigate the relationship between pancreatic cancer and diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods Two hundreds and twenty patients with pancreatic cancer and 300 controls, who suffered from non-digestive tract, non-neoplastic or non-hormone-related disorders, were enrolled from 1997 to 2007. The incidence of diabetes between the two groups and the relationship between pancreatic cancer and diabetes were compared, pancreatic cancer patients with DM were compared with patients without DM for their gender, age, location and differentiate degree of the cancer. Results The incidence of DM in the two groups were 33.1% and 9.67%, respectively, and the difference was significant (P < 0.05). In the pancreatic cancer group, the proportion of patients with DM diagnosed within 2 years or for more than 10 years were 25.91% (57/73) and 3.18% (7/73), which were significant higher than those in the control group 6.0% (18/29) and 0.67% (2/29)) (χ2=46.15, P<0.01, 0R=6.07; χ2 =4.72, P<0.01, OR=4.90). In the pancreatic cancer group, the proportion of patients with DM diagnosed within 2～5 years or 5～10 years was not significant different when compared with that of the control group, and there was no significant difference in terms of gender, age and cancer location between the pancreatic cancer patients with DM and without DM. The majority of pancreatic cancer patients with DM had corpora mammillaria or well differentiated adenocarcinoma, and the majority of pancreatic cancer patients without DM had differentiated adenocarcinoma. Conclusions DM was closely related with pancreatic cancer and DM may be one of the presentations of pancreatic cancer, as well as a possible risk factor for the tumor.
