Objective To investigate expressions of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family and their receptors in cardiac repair/remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI).Methods The infarcted rat heart model were constructed,real time PCR (RT-PCR) and Western blots (WB) were used.Results Compared to the normal myocardium,VEGF-A was significantly decreased in MI group during the 42 days observation period but decreased at day 1,which was 0.89 ±0.04 of control group in D1,0.25 ±0.03 of control in D14; VEGF-B was significantly suppressed in the infarcted heart,which level was 0.09 ± 0.04 of control; However,VEGF-C and VEGF-D were markedly increased in the infarcted heart in MI group,which was 5.31 ± 0.21 and 9.24 ± 0.47 times of control.Meanwhile,VEGFR-1 and 2 were 0.11 ± 0.02 and 0.14 ± 0.04 of control in the infarcted heart,but VEGFR-3 was significantly increased in blood vessels,6.81 ± 0.42 times of control group.Conclusions VEGF isoforms and VEGFR subtypes were differentially expressed in the infarcted heart.It suggests that these isoforms may regulate multiple responses during cardiac repair/remodeling.

Objective To evaluate the influence of dexmedetomidine（Dex） on sedation and requirement of propofol during anesthesia induction. Methods Thirty patients（ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ） undergoing selective operation were randomly divided into 2 groups：Dexmedetomidine group （group D,n=15） or control group （group C,n=15）. Patients in the group D received 1 μg/kg dex diluted to 10ml over 10 min by pumped infusion and patients in the group C was simply recieved normol saline at the same way.Twenty minutes after administrating the drug,patients in both groups were pumped propofol at the speed of 0.4 mg·kg-1·min-1. When holding up jaw without movement,patients received 1 μg/kg fentanyl and 0.6 mg/kg rocuronium,and endotracheal intubated 1.5 minutes later. RE,SE,Ramsay sedation scale of the patients were recorded before（T0） and after 5,10,20 minutes（T1-T3） of drug adminstration.The minimum dose and total dose of propofol during induction were recorded.Results Compared with group C and T0,RE and SE in group D decreased obviously at T1-T3 （P0.01）,while Ramsay sedation scale rised significantly （P0.01）. Compared with group C,the minimum dose and the total dose of propofol decreased obviously in group D during induction （P0.01）.Conclusion Dexmedetomidine causes sadetive without respiratory depression,and has the propofol sparing effect during anesthesia induction.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) and multiple subcutaneous insulin injection (MSII) in elderly patients with severe type 2 diabetes.Methods Thirty-seven elderly patients with severe type 2 diabetes in the hospital intensive care unit (ICU) were divided into observation group (19 cases) and control group (18 cases) by random number table method.The observation group was treated with continuous subcutaneous insulin recombinant human insulin lispro injection,and control group was treated with recombinant human insulin lispro injection before meals and at bedtime routine insulin glargine subcutaneous injection.Two groups of patients and their families were given diabetes education.Changes in blood glucose,insulin dosage,blood glucose control standard time,rate of hypoglycemia and hospitalization time between 2 groups before and after treatment were compared.Results After treatment,fasting blood glucose in observation group was (7.2 ± 1.2) mmol/L,2 hour postprandial blood glucose was (9.4 ± 1.2) mmol/L,bedtime blood glucose was (9.4 ± 1.3) mmol/L; which in control group was (8.5 ± 3.0),(10.0 ± 2.4),(10.2 ± 2.4)mmol/L respectively.Fasting blood glucose,2 hour postprandial blood glucose and bedtime blood glucose significantly decreased after treatment in two groups,but there was significant difference between 2 groups (P ＜ 0.05).Blood glucose control standard time in observation group was (5.4 ± 2.5) d,insulin dosage was (43 ± 9) U/d,in control group was (12.8 ± 3.8) d,(55 ± 10) U/d respectively,and there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).Observation group had no hypoglycemia.Conclusion CSII for elderly patients with severe type 2 diabetes has better curative effect and security than MSII,and is more conducive to the control of blood glucose and the improvement of the condition.

Objective To discuss the relation between influenza peak, temperature and relative humidity. Methods Statistical analysis on the data of influenza consultation rates, temperature and relative humidity from 1998 to 2002 in Hong Kong area was carried out to propose some relation between influenza peak, temperature and relative humidity. Results It was slightly possible to cause influenza peak when the week-averaged temperature was less than 20 ℃ and largely possible to cause influenza peak when the week-averaged temperature was less than 15 ℃. It was also largely possible to cause influenza peak when the week-averaged temperature was very low and the relative humidity was higher which resulted the lower body-sense temperature compared with the forecasting temperature. Conclusion The prevalence of influenza occurs during four seasons in one year in Hong Kong, but the prevalence peak of influenza mainly appears under the condition of lower temperature(

SIGIRR, a member of the interleukin 1 receptor superfamily, is also known as a single immunoglobulin (Ig)-related receptor, which is believed to play a key role in the development of inflammation and the regulation of anti-inflammatory effects. Some studies believe that the abnormal down-regulation of SIGIRR can lead to intestinal inflammation, pyelonephritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and other diseases, but it can promote tumor growth and potentially cause anti-tumor immune damage when its genes are overexpressed. Therefore, the role of SIGIRR in disease occurrence and development is considered a double-edged sword. At present, the detailed molecular mechanism of SIGIRR′s biological role is not fully understood. This article reviews the functions of SIGIRR in the occurrence and development of immune-related diseases and immune regulation, as well as related cell signaling pathways, which have been discovered and confirmed.

Objective To investigate the effects of different concentrations of crocin on receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclastogenesis using the monocyte-macrophage cell line RAW264.7. Methods The monocyte-macrophage cell line RAW264.7 was cultured routinely.After treatment with 0,6.25,12.5,25, 50,100,200 and 400 μmol/L crocin,cell counting kit-8(CCK-8)assay was used to analyze the viability of RAW264.7 cells to screen out the appropriate experimental concentration. RAW264.7 cells were induced by RANKL (100 ng/L) to form osteoclasts. After treated with 0, 12.5, 50 and 100 μmol/L crocin respectively, the number of osteolasts was counted by tatrate resistant acid phosphatasec (TRAP) staining. Real-time PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of calcitonin receptor(CTR),nuclear factor of active T cells 1(NFATC1),C-fos and TRAP.Results No significant effects of crocin (within 0-100 μmol/L) were found on the viability of RAW264.7 cells (P>0.05). However, When crocin concentration was over 100 μmol/L,the cell proliferation was decreased,and which showed a significant inhibitory effect on proliferation (P<0.05). Thus, 0-100 μmol/L crocin was selected as the experiment concentration. The amount of differentiated osteolasts and the expression levels of CTR,NFATC1,C-fos and TRAP mRNA were decreased significantly with the increased concentrations of crocin(P<0.05).Conclusion At a certain concentration(0-100 μmol/L),the higher levels of crocin could inhibit RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis.
