Objective To research the effect and safety of Reteplase for Injection combined with reduced glutathione in the treatment of acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction.Methods Patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (90 cases) in Jianli People's Hospital from February 2015 to February 2016 were selected and divided equally into A,B and C groups according to different treatment methods.Totally 30 patients in group A were given conventional therapy,30 patients in group B were given reduced glutathione for treatment on the basis of conventional treatment,and the other 30 in group C were given combined therapy of reteplase and reduced glutathione on the basis of conventional treatment.The vascular recanalization rate,improvement of effective indicators including creatine kinase isoenzyme (CKMB),troponin Ⅰ (cTnⅠ),left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDd) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF),oxidative stress kinase including superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px),and incidence of adverse events of patients were compared among the three groups.Results After thrombolysis,the vascular recanalization rate of group C at different time points (2 h,6 h and 12 h) showed significant difference compared with those of groups A and B (P ＜ 0.05).After the treatment,the effective indicators of the three groups were both significantly improved (P ＜ 0.05),and group C improved more significantly than groups A and B (P ＜ 0.05).After the treatment,the SOD and GSH-Px of groups B and C both significantly improved than group A (P ＜ 0.05),but there was no significant difference between groups B and C.After treatment,the incidence of adverse events of group C was significantly lower than those of groups A and B (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Reteplase for Injection combined with reduced glutathione has significant curative effect in the treatment of acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction,which can effectively improve the cardiac function and inhibition of oxidative stress.It is of higher security but with lower incidence of adverse events.

OBJECTIVETo optimize extraction and purification methods of acidic polysaccharide from Moerella iridescens (MIAP).

METHODSWith alkali extraction process and orthogonal experiment,the time consumption,temperature,pH value of the solution and alcohol concentration during the extraction were optimized. The crude products were deprived of protein,pigment and ion,then were purified with DEAE-cellulose ion-exchange chromatography and verified with Sephadex G-100 and cellulose acetate membrane electrophoresis,and examined with infrared spectrum.

RESULTSThe optimized extraction conditions were as follows: extraction time 6 h,extraction temperature 70 degree,the solution pH 8.0 and the concentration of alcohol precipitation 70%. Intuitive features showed that the MIAP was pure white crystalline granular with slight dark brown color. The purification results demonstrated that the target MIAP was eluted and identified as a homogeneous components by DEAE-cellulose ion exchange column,Sephadex G-100 and cellulose acetate membrane electrophoresis. Infrared spectral scanning suggested that MIAP was α-D-type terminated glucopyranose. Intuitive features showed that MIAP was soft and cottony white.

CONCLUSIONThe extraction process with orthogonal test has been optimized and the acidic polysaccharide from Moerella iridescens is successfully isolated.

The paper is aimed to study the difference in yield and quality at different harvest time and determine the optimum harvest of planting Gentiana in Ludian traditional harvest period. The authors analyzed the variation in fresh weight, dry weight, dry discount rate, length, diameter, volume and the content of gentiopicroside, loganin acid, alcohol-soluble extract and total ash and made a comprehensive appraisal of yield, appearance quality and intrinsic quality by gray relational distance ideal Comprehensive Evaluation method. The results showed that there is a big difference in yield and quality both 2-year-old and 3-year-old Gentiana harvested in traditional harvest period and the comprehensive evaluation more better when harvested more later. It can be seen, Gentiana harvested the later had a better yield and quality in Ludian traditional harvest period. The harvest of Gentiana can be appropriate delayed depending on the particular circumstances of production.

Aim To construct a eukaryotic expression vector of human MCHR2 and to analyze the stable expression and signal transduction pathways of MCHR2 in CHO cells. Methods The full-length MCHR2 cDNA fragment was amplified by PCR from the human fetal brain cDNA library and inserted into eukaryotic expres-sion vector pcDNA3.1(+), resulted in the recombinant expression vector pcDNA3.1-MCHR2. The recombinant plasmid was confirmed by the restriction enzymatic digestion and DNA sequencing analysis, and then transfected into CHO cells by lipofectamine. A stably-transfected cell line was obtained by the dominant G418 selection, and the expression of the MCHR2 gene on transcription and translation levels were identified by RT-PCR and Western blot. Signal transduction pathways mediated by MCHR2 were analyzed by measurement of intracellular cAMP and calcium. Results The eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1-MCHR2 was successfully constructed and the MCHR2 gene was stably transfected into CHO cells. A stably-transfected cell line was established and the MCHR2 gene was efficiently transcribed and translated. MCH stimulation had no effect on the production of cAMP, however, it could induce a clear and transient increase of intracellular calcium, suggesting that MCHR2 was only coupled to Gq protein. Conclusion The stable expression of MCHR2 and analysis of its signal transduction pathways in CHO cell line provided a solid experimental foundation for further studies on the function of the MCHR2 gene in vitro.

Background Retinal development continues during the early postnatal period in mammals.Correct arrangement of layers and precise location of various cells in the retina are vital for forming normal visual function during critical period plasticity.Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography(SD-OCT)provides highquality in vivo retinal imaging and the possibility to measure retinal thickness longitudinally. Objective The present study was to investigate the changes of retinal thickness during critical period plasticity in rats. Methods In vivo consecutive scanning of retinal image was performed in 10 SPF Sprague-Dawley rats at postnatal day 14(P14),P18,P21,P24 and P42 with SD-OCT,and retinal histopathological examination was used to detect retinal morphologic changes at the same postnatal ages in 20 matched rats.The whole retinal thickness,the thickness from inner limiting membrane(ILM)to inner plexiform layer(IPL),the thickness of inner nuclear layer(INL)and the thickness from outer nuclear layer(ONL)to retinal pigment epithelium(RPE)were measured using Cirrus HD-OCT system and HMIAS-2000 Imaging System in retinal sections.The measurement parameters by Cirrus HD-OCT and those by hematoxylin-eosin staining were compared.The use of animals followed the Statement of National Institute of Health (USA). Results In vivo high-resolution images of rat retinas with SD-OCT compared well with histology,which enabled quantitative comparison of the SD-OCT and histological data during critical period plasticity in rats.From P14 to P42,the retinal thickness gradually decreased with the increase of rat ages(F=15.425,P=0.000),and so were the thickness from ILM to IPL,the thickness of INL and the thickness from ONL to RPE(F=3.973,P=0.007;F=17.529,P=0.000;F=7.038,P=0.000).The retinal thickness,thickness of INL.thickness from ONL to RPE measured by Cirrus HD-OCT were significantly correlated with those measured by retinal sections among P14,P18,P21,P24 and P42 rats(r=0.794,P=0.000;r=0.784,P=0.000;r=0.681,P=0.000). Conclusion SD-OCT is a demonstratably valuable technology to study the structure of retinas in rats.The retinal thickness is shown to reduce in thickness throughout the development of the retina during critical period plasticity due to the decrease in thickness of INL and the distance from the ONL to RPE,as illustrated by OCT scanning.

Objective The purpose of this paper is to screen inborn errors of meta bolism (IEM) by analyzing urinary components, so as to provide laboratory guide for their diagnosis and therapy.Methods Urine samples of patients suspected to have IEM were collec- ted.Urea was de compo sed with urease and n-heptadecanoic acid was added as internal standard.Protein was denatured with ethanol and precipitate was removed by centrifugation,dried b y evaporation, the residue was trimethylsilylly derivatized with BSTFA/TMCS,and then analyzed with GC-MS for quantification of organic acids, amino acids,suga rs, polyols, purines and pyrimidines, simultaneously. This procedure is denom inated as urease pretreatment-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (UP-GC-MS) internationally.Results Urinary samples of 327 patients from 6 provinces, cities and autonomous regions were analyzed,and 16 kinds of 27 cases of IEM were screened out with a positiv e rate of 8.26%,among which there were 3 cases of hyperphenylalaninemia,3 cases of glyceroluria,3 cases of Leigh syndrome, 2 cases of propionic acidemia, 2 case s of methylmalonic aciduria, 2 cases of von Gierke′s disease, 2 cases of fructo se-1,6-diphosphatase deficiency, 2 cases of fructosuria, 1 cases of multiple car boxylase deficiency, 1 cases of glutaric acidemia typeⅠ, 1 cases of maple sy rup urine disease, 1 cases of hyperglycinemia, 1 cases of 3-aminoisobutyric acid uria,1 cases of adult-onset typeⅡcitrullinemia,1 cases of galactosemia and 1 ca ses of Fanconi′s syndrome.Several IEM patients above had died,but satisfactory therapeutic effects had been achieved in some diseases,in cluding multiple carboxylase deficiency,methylmalonic aciduria and galactosemia. Other patients′ condition remained to be followed up.Conclusion Analysis of urinary components by UP-GC-MS provides a valuable tool for screenin g of IEM and the results will help to provide effective diagnostic and therapeut ic guide for the patients.
