Objective To observe the effect of Ginkgo Biloba Extract Injection on urinary albumin excretion rate in patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN). Methods A total of 90 patients with DN were divided into two groups: group A was micro-urinary-albumin group; group B was multiple-urinary-albumin group. Both groups were treated with routine therapy plus Ginkgo biloba extract injection (at a dose of 15ml) q.d. for 4 consecutive weeks. The urinary albumin excretion rate was compared between the two groups before and after treatment. Results As compared with the group B, urinary albumin excretion rate was significantly lowered in the group A (P＜0.01). Conclusion Ginkgo Biloba Extract Injection had effects in lowering microalbumin in urine and therapeutic effect for patients with early DN.

Objective: To study the effects of TNF ? on wound healing. Methods: The skin lesion and incisions were made on mice and rh TNF ? was applied in both skin lesion and incision. Tissue strips were evaluated for tensiometry and histologic features after healing. Results: It was found that rh TNF ? markedly improved wound healing both in skin lesion and incision wound model, it also markedly enhanced the breaking strength of treated incision and increased wound cellularity in rh TNF ? treated groups. Conclusion: The results suggest that TNF ? play an important role in regulating inflammatory reactions of local injured tissues and it may improve the functions of fibroblasts, mononuclear phagocytes and endothelial cells. rh TNF ? of suitable doses can promote wound healing. This shows that TNF ?, as a wound healing promoter, has the potentials for clinical application.

Objective: To study the relationship between interleukin(IL) 6, IL 8, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF ?) and wound healing. Methods: In lower jaw gunshot wound, the expression of IL 6, IL 8, TNF ? in local soft tissues was assayed by using immunohistochemistry methods. The current levels of IL 6, IL 8, TNF ? in wound tissues was analysed by using image assay. Results: High expressions of these cytokines were observed in local soft tissues of wounds during the first 3 d after the gunshot. The cytokines expressions were different between the area near the bullet path and that far from the path. There was only one peak of the cytokines concentration in the area far from the bullet path, while there were 2 peaks of the cytokines concentration in the area near the bullet path.Conclusion: These results suggest that IL 6, IL 8, TNF ? play an important role in regulating inflammatory reactions of local injured tissues. They may improve the functions of fibroblasts, mononuclear phagocytes and endothelial cells and stimulate wound cells to produce and release other cytokines.

Objective To investigate the serum micro-ribonucleic acid-15a(miR-15a)and macrophage mi-gration inhibitory factor(MIF)levels and their relationship with adverse maternal and infant outcomes in pa-tients with gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM).Methods From January 2020 to December 2022,106 patients with GDM who underwent prenatal examination and gave birth in the Hengshui Fourth People's Hospital were selected as the experimental group.Another 106 healthy women who underwent pregnancy examination and delivered in a hospital during the same period were selected as the control group.Detection of serum miR-15a level by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction and serum MIF levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Serum MIF and miR-15a levels were compared between the two groups,and the relationship between miR-15a and MIF levels and adverse maternal and infant outcomes in GDM patients was analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression.Results The serum levels of miR-15a and MIF in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group,the difference was statistically sig-nificant(P＜0.05).The age of patients with adverse maternal and infant outcomes in the experimental group was＞35 years old,the pre-pregnancy body mass index was＞24 kg/m2,the proportion of patients with ad-verse pregnancy history,poor blood glucose control and serum MIF and miR-15a levels were higher than those with good maternal and infant outcomes in the experimental group,and the differences were statistically sig-nificant(P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age＞35 years old,pre-pregnancy body mass index＞24 kg/m2,adverse pregnancy history,poor blood glucose control and serum miR-15a and MIF were all risk factors for adverse maternal and infant outcomes in the experimental group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Serum miR-15a and MIF levels are abnormally elevated in GDM patients,and serum miR-15a and MIF levels are closely related to adverse maternal and infant outcomes.
