1.Updated correlation of instability bladder with nerve receptors
Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2004;0(01):-
Abnormal contract and relaxation of the bladder is closely correlated with detrusor instability.In the recent years,with advanced studies of its related nervous system,deeper insights have been gained into the mechanism underlying the influence of nerve receptors on bladder contraction and relaxation in the pathological state,which involves the changes of M-AR,?-AR and P-AR.The receptors that regulate the contraction of the bladder mainly include M-AR and P-AR,and ?-AR is chiefly responsible for adjusting its relaxation.An understanding of these mechanisms may provide a direction and a foundation for the studies of clinical therapies and development of new drugs for this disease.

HIV envelope glycoprotein transmembrane subunit gp41 plays a major role in the fusion of viral and target cell membranes. The extracellular region of gp41 consists of N-terminal fusion peptide and downstream N- and C-heptad repeat (NHR and CHR) regions. The peptidesderived from the NHR and CHR regions, designated N- and C-peptides, respectively, have potent inhibitory activity on the HIV mediated cell fusion. C-peptide T-20 has just got the approval of U.S. FDA, which became the first success of one new class anti-HIV agents, named HIV-fusion inhibitors. However, a relatively long peptide such as T-20 suffers from several limitations including proteolytic sensitivity, large dosage, therefore it is unable to produced by gene engineering. Alternately, shorter peptidic fusion inhibitors and active peptides suitable for gene engineering are pursued. In the recent years, this kind of peptide modifications are hot spots in HIV research field and contribute a lot to the inhibitory mechanism of N- and C-peptide.

【Objective】To observe the effect of fucoidan on lipid metabolism enzyme in hyperlipidemia mice.【Methods】Sixty healthy male SD rats were randomized into 6 groups: normal group,model group,gynostemma pentaphyllum(GP,30 mg/kg) group and low-,moderate-and high-dose fucoidan groups(0.1,0.2 and 0.4 g?kg-1 respectively).Except the normal group,the rats in other groups received high fat emulsion(10 mL?kg-1) by gavage to establish hyperlipidemia models.The activities of lipoprotein lipase(LPL),hepatic lipase(HL) and lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase(LCAT) in different groups were compared.【Results】Serum activities of LPL,HL and LCAT as well as hepatic activities of LPL and HL were increased in low-and moderate-dose fucoidan groups.【Conclusion】Fucoidan decreases the serum triglyceride levels by activating the serum and hepatic LPL and HL activities,and decreases serum cholesterol level by activating hepatic LCAT activity.

Objective To explore the mechanism of Fudoidan for regulating the disorder of lipid metabolism in rats. Methods Rat hyperlipidemic model was established. The effect of Fudoidan on rats levels of blood lipids, lipid metabolic enzyme, and the lipid contents in the stool, as well as bile metabolismand LDL-R mRNA expression in the liver were observed. Results Fudoidan can notably restrain the concentration of serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) of hyperlipidemic rats and increase the concentration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and activities of 1ipoprotein lipase (LPL), hepatic lipoprotein (HL) and lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT).Fucoidan can remarkably increase the contents of cholesterol, TG, bile acid , but has no effect on the secretion of bile, the concentration of cholesterol and bile acid in bile. The results of RT-PCR experiment showed that Fudoidan can notably improve the expression level of low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDL-R) mRNA in the liver of hyperlipidemic rats. Conclusion Fucoidan can regulate the disorder of lipid metabolism probably by restraining the absorption of lipids (TC, cholesterol, bile acid) , activating the activities of lipid metabolic enzyme (LPL, HL and LCAT), and promoting the expression of LDL-R mRNA in the liver.

Objective To summarize the experience of peri-operative emotion management of male patients with breast cancer. Methods The clinical data of 11 male patients with breast cancer were analyzed to summarize methods for the emotion management before, during and after chemo-radiotherapy. Result All the patients took a good attitude and complete the therapy after implementation of emotion management. Conclusion Peri-operative psychological management is of help for their alleviating the negative moods of helplessness, strengthening their confidence, stabilizing and improving the emotions, and finally making them cooperative in the treatment and nursing.

BACKGROUND:Intervertebral disc can bear load but lack vessels. Nucleus pulposus cel s have the problem of phenotype loss during in vitro culture that can lead to degenerative changes. The mechanism of intervertebral disc degeneration remains unclear.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the approaches of isolation, adherence culture, amplification and identification of the rabbit nucleus pulposus cel s in vitro, to observe the growth characteristics of nucleus pulposus cel s in different generations.
METHODS:Type Ⅱ col agenase digestion method plus explants culture method was used to isolate and purify nucleus pulposus cel s and then amplify in vitro. The morphology and growth of primary and passaged cel s was observed under the inverted microscope, the number of cel s was counted and the growth curve was draw. The morphology of the cel s was observed under light microscope after hematoxylin-eosin staining, and the expressions of col agen type Ⅱ and aggrecan were examined by immunocytochemistry.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Nucleus pulposus cel s of rabbit were isolated, cultured and amplified in vitro successful y. Growth activity was observed, and found that the 1-3 generation nucleus pulposus cel s proliferated more rapidly and vigorously. The proliferation of nucleus pulposus cel s was decreased while the cel passaged more generations. These isolated and cultured nucleus pulposus cel s could positively express the col agen type Ⅱ and aggrecan. In vitro combination of type Ⅱ col agenase digestion method and explants culture method could obtain high purity nucleus pulposus cel s, and the cultured nucleus pulposus cel s were grew in round or polygonal. The 1-3 generation of cel s had strong activity.

Objective To investigate the effect of clinical nursing paths on function rehabilitation guiding of burn patients. Methods 90 burn patients were randomly divided into observation group (n=45) and control group (n=45). The observation group was guided rehabilitation with clinical nursing paths, while the control group with routine way. Results The scores of Barthel index, and physiological factors,psychological factors, social relations and environmental factors of World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF improved more in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.001). Conclusion Application of clinical nursing paths to guiding function rehabilitation of burn patients can improve the activities of daily living and quality of life of burn patients.

Objective To investigate the mechanism and clinical characteristics of rapid spontaneous resolution of acute subdural hematoma in children. Methods The clinical data of 9 children with rapid spontaneous resolution of acute subdural hematoma were retrospective analyzed. Results Subdural hematoma of three cases were completely dissolved within 8 h, while those of the other 6 cases were significantly reduced which were completely dissolved in 48-72 h. Conclusions Rapid spontaneous resolution of acute subdural hematoma in children is rare in clinical practice. The redistribution and dilution of hematoma and the anatomical characteristics of the children patient determine the possibility of hematoma dissipation. The conservative treatment can get a good prognosis.

AIM To modify and improve a screening assay so that it becomes more convenient, economic and adaptable in China for high throughput screening of HIV fusion inhibitors targeting gp41. METHODS The original screening method reported by Jiang et al (J Virol. Methods 1999;80:85 96) was modified by: ① using a conformation specific monoclonal antibody to replace a polyclonal antibody for coating plates; ②simplifying the procedures; ③using parts of the reagents produced in China. RESULTS The modified screening assay is simpler, more convenient, and more economic than the original assay, but its sensitivity is comparable to and specificity is a little better than the original method. CONCLUSIONS The modified screening assay is more convenient and economic and can be used in China for high throughput screening of HIV fusion inhibitors from complex sample, such as phage display peptide libraries, microorganism fermentation liquids, herbs and other natural products.
