Aim To investigate the effects of ginaton on tubular cell apoptosis in a rat model of renal ischemia/reperfusion(I/R) injury.Methods The model of bilateral post-ischemic renal injury was established by clamping renal pedicles for 45 minutes.To explore the effects of ginaton on activation and expression of JNK and c-Jun,p-JNK1/2,JNK,p-c-Jun,c-Jun were examined by Western blotting.Apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells was assessed by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated dUTPnick end labeling(TUNEL) and flow cytometric analysis.Results Phosphorylation levels of the JNK and the c-Jun were significantly increased at 20 min after renal I/R injury.This corresponds to a significant increase of apoptotic tubular cells induced by renal I/R injury.Ginaton attenuated the increased phosphorylation of p-JUK at 20 min(vs I/R 20 min,P

Objective To explore the stress response and immune balance in patients with severe trauma hemorrhage after fluid resuscitation and to clarify the clinical effect of Propofol administered with continuous intravenous infusion pump on it.Methods With prospective,randomized and control analysis,54 patients treated with fluid resuscitation following severe trauma hemorrhage admitted from October 1st,2008 to December 1st,2009 were studied.Another 20 healthy volunteers were enrolled as control group (C group). Patients were randomly divided into:conventional treatment group (R group,n =27 ) and conventional therapy combined with propofol treatment ( P group,n =27) as per gender,age,ISS score,estimated blood loss four factors and the principle ofminimum distribution imbalance index.HR,MAP,the levels of stress hormones [ norepinephrine (NE),cortisol (Cor) ],immune function ( T lymphocyte subsets Th1/Th2) and other biomarkers were observed.Mortality within 28 d between R group and P group was compared.ANOVA was used for the comparison of biomarkers,and independent samples t test was employed to compare variables between the two groups. Results Plasma cortisol (Cor),norepinephrine (NE),alanine aminotransferase (ALT),creatinine ( Cr),blood glucose,and Th1 and Th2 lymphocytes in patients were significantly higher than those in healthy volunteers of group C (P ＜0.01 ),and Th1/Th2 was significantly lower than those in healthy volunteers of C group (P =0.001 ).The ALT (48 h),Glu (6 h),NE (24 h and 48 h) and Cor (6 h and 24 h) of patients in P group were lower than those in R group ( P ＜0.05 ),and Th1 and Th2 were lower than those in R group at different intervals ( Th1:24h P =0.028,48 hP=0.002 ; Th2:6 h P=0.033,24 h P=0.007,48 h P=0.009),and Th1/Th2 ratio (48 h) was significantly higher in P group than that in R group (P =0.028),but there was no significant difference in mortality within 28d between the two groups. Conclusions Strong stress response,immune suppression and organ dysfunction can occur in the early stages of severe trauma hemorrhage after fluid resuscitation.Propofol can inhibit excessive stress response,modulate the immune balance and protect the important organs in those exsanguination patients from severe trauma.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FFB) and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) in treatment of neonatal atelectasis.Methods Eligible patients, who were diagnosed as neonatal pulmonary atelectasis and admitted consecutively to the neonatal intensive care unit of the Children's Hospital of Hebei Province from January 2013 to January 2015, were included in the study.They were randomly assigned to FFB group (n=30) and control group (n=28).Newborns in the FFB group received BAL under FFB, while those controls received tracheal irrigation after intubation.The duration of lung recruitment, oxygen exposure and antibiotic administration, hospital stay, culture results of respiratory secretions, prognosis and total expenses during hospitalization were compared between the two groups.Complications of FFB were also recorded.Chi-square test and t-test were performed for statistical analysis.Results (1) In the FFB group, atelectasis occurred in the upper fight lobe (n=26), upper lobes of both sides (n=1), lower right lobe (n=2) and lower left lobe (n=1), while in the control group, atelectasis occurred in the upper right lobe (n=26), lower left lobe (n=1) and middle right lobe (n=2) (x2=0.094, P ＞ 0.05).(2) The positive rate of bacteria culture results showed no difference between bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in FFB group and tracheal secretions in the controls [43％(13/30) vs 32％(9/28), x2=0.770, P ＞ 0.05].(3) The duration of lung recruitment, antibiotic administration and hospital stay of the FFB group were all shorter than those of the control group [(4.7±3.4) vs (7.4±6.6) d, (14.0±4.5) vs (20.3±10.9) d, (15.1±4.7) vs (21.8±12.3) d, t=-5.718, 8.604 and 7.733, all P ＜ 0.05].(4) Among babies in the FFB group, nine experienced fever and returned to normal after physical cooling;three showed more shadow in chest X-ray with aggravated dyspnea during a short period, and relieved 12 hours later;two had minimal hemorrhage from tracheal mucous membrane;one showed crying hoarse.Serious complications, such as pneumothorax, massive bleeding or cardiac arrest, did not occurred.No death or refuse of treatment was reported.Conclusion FFB and BAL is much more effective than tracheal irrigation after intubation in treatment of neonatal atelectasis without any severe complications.

Objective To explore the effects of health belief mode (HBM)-based home visits on the blood pressure (BP) and health-related behaviors of elderly hypertensive patients.Methods One-year HBM-based home visits were paid to 114 elderly hypertensive patients over 80 years old chosen from the community.The normalization rate of blood pressure after intervention at 3,6,12 months and health-related behaviors after intervention were also compared with those of pre-intervention.Results The BP after intervention was improved significantly after intervention as compared with that of pre-intervention (P＜0.01).Health-related behaviors after intervention were significantly more than those before pre-intervention (P＜0.01).Conclusions The hypertensions are controlled effectively with the implementation of the HBM-based home visits to the elderly hypertensive patients.The development of disease in elderly hypertensive patients can be slowed down and their life quality can be improved.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between thrombocytopenia (TCP) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and coagulation or inflammatory response in mouse.Methods Forty-eight C57BL/6 mice were divided into control group, low-dose, and high-dose LPS treatment groups by random number table method, and each group was subdivided into 4-hour and 24-hour subgroups randomly, with 8 mice in each subgroup. 0.5 mg/kg or 50 mg/kg LPS was injected intraperitoneally in low-dose or high-does group respectively, and equal amount of normal saline was injected in control group. Blood was collected from endocanthal vein at the specified time point, platelet count (PLT) was counted, and the levels of thrombin antithrombin complex (TAT), D-dimer, fibrinogen degradation product (FDP), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results Compared with control group, PLT (×109/L) at 4 hours and 24 hours in low-dose and high-dose LPS groups was significantly decreased (4 hours: 660.65±180.48, 568.55±117.99 vs. 1 199.13±110.54; 24 hours:505.63±218.92, 256.33±72.86 vs. 1 229.13±1 189.37, allP< 0.05), and the changes were more obvious in high-dose LPS group compared with those of the low-dose LPS group (allP< 0.05). Factorial analysis showed that the changes in PLT were related with LPS dosage and time (F1 = 135.660,P1 = 0.000;F2 = 12.120,P2 = 0.001). It was also found that there was an interactive effect of the dose of LPS and time on PLT (F = 5.580,P = 0.007). Compared with control group, TAT, TNF-α, and IL-6 at 4 hours and 24 hours in low-dose and high-dose LPS groups were significantly decreased [TAT (ng/L) at 4 hours: 1.10±0.59, 0.22±0.13 vs. 3.47±1.73; 24 hours: 1.18±0.68, 0.39±0.29 vs. 3.19±1.27;TNF-α (nmol/L) at 4 hours: 87.35±12.29, 93.70±5.25 vs. 101.59±10.96, 24 hours: 81.94±8.26, 93.23±4.71 vs. 102.84±10.56; IL-6 (ng/L) at 4 hours: 81.78±7.82, 78.59±9.06 vs. 110.88±9.66, 24 hours: 76.03±9.85, 71.34±3.69 vs. 110.88±10.35, allP< 0.05]. TAT at 4 hours and 24 hours in high-dose LPS group was further decreased, and TNF-αat 24 hours was increased as compared with those of low-dose LPS group (allP< 0.05). TAT, TNF-α and IL-6 were influenced only by different dosage of LPS (TAT:F = 42.350,P = 0.000; TNF-α:F = 14.810,P = 0.000; IL-6:F =81.910,P = 0.000), not time (TAT:F = 0.002,P = 0.967; TNF-α:F = 0.342,P = 0.562; IL-6:F = 2.973,P = 0.092). Changes in TAT was not found to be related with the dose of LPS and its time of action, or levels of TNF-α and IL-6 (TAT:F = 0.236,P = 0.791; TNF-α:F = 0.572,P = 0.569; IL-6:F = 0.774,P = 0.468). The dosage of LPS and time of admission showed no influence on D-dimer (F1 = 2.448,P1 = 0.099;F2 = 0.024,P2 = 0.877). The effect of different doses of LPS and time of administration showed no influence on FDP (F1 = 0.106,P1 = 0.900;F2 = 0.013,P2 = 0.908), and no interactive effects were found (D- dimer:F = 0.002,P = 0.998; FDP:F = 0.582,P = 0.563).Conclusion LPS can induce TCP in mouse, but this effect may not related to the activation of coagulation system and excessive inflammatory response.

ObjectiveTo observe whether lipopolysaccharide (LPS) derived fromEscherichia coli (E.coli) can induce apoptosis of murine platelets in vitro.Methods Washed platelet suspension was prepared and adjusted to the final concentration of 3×108/mL. According to the difference in stimulants, samples were divided into control group (non-calcium Tyrode buffer), thrombin-treated group (1 U/mL final concentration and non-calcium TB) and LPS in different concentrations treated groups (1, 10 and 100μg/mL final concentration respectively and non-calcium TB). To each specimental group corresponding stimulus was added and incubated 30 minutes at room temperature. Chemiluminescence was adopted to determine the concentration of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and the activity of cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase-3 (caspase-3). The percentage of Annexin V positive platelets was determined by flow cytometry to reflect the level of phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure. Mean channel fluorescence (MCF) of platelets was determined by flow cytometry for reflecting the level of mitochondrial inner transmembrane potential (ΔΨm) depolarization.Results Compared with control group, the ATP concentration in thrombin-treated group was decreased obviously [relative light unit (RLU): (5.46±0.14)×105 vs. (6.25±0.26)×105,P< 0.05], Annexin V positive ratio [(50.43±2.45)% vs. (1.58±0.25)%,P< 0.05] and caspase-3 activity [RLU: (26.92±1.60)×103 vs. (1.30±0.10) ×103,P< 0.05] were increased obviously, and platelets MCF was lowered significantly [(8.32±0.58)×104 vs. (13.05±1.10)×104,P< 0.05], suggesting an increase inΔΨm depolarization. After being treated with different concentrations of LPS, ATP concentration, Annexin V positive ratio and caspase-3 activity were increased obviously, platelet MCF was decreased obviously, suggestingΔΨm depolarization was increased in a concentration-dependent manner. Compared with control group, 1μg/mL LPS could increase Annexin V positive ratio [(10.45±1.08)% vs. (1.58±0.25)%,P< 0.05], elevate caspase-3 activity [RLU: (14.06±0.61)×103 vs. (1.30±0.10)×103,P< 0.05], and decrease MCF significantly [(9.48±0.50)×104 vs. (13.05±1.10)×104,P< 0.05]. The ATP concentration, Annexin V positive ratio and caspase-3 activity reached maximum levels after the treatment with 100μg/mL LPS, and they were higher obviously than those of the control group [ATP (RLU): (7.00±0.03)×105 vs. (6.25±0.26)×105, Annexin V positive ratio: (55.35±2.42)% vs. (1.58±0.25)%, casepase-3 (RLU): (32.00±3.75)×103 vs. (1.30± 0.10)×103, allP< 0.05], and platelets MCF reached trough levels, and they were obviously lower than those of the control group [(4.69±0.55)×104 vs. (13.05±1.10)×104,P< 0.05].ConclusionE.coli LPS can induce an increase in ATP, PS exposure,ΔΨm depolarization and activity increase of caspase-3 on mouse platelet in vitro, which indicate that LPS can induce apoptosis of platelets in a concentration-dependent manner.
