Objective To observe the changes of serum calcium, phosphorus, calcium-phosphorus product and para-thyroid hormone(PTH)levels after treatment with different concentrations of calcium dialysate in combination with calcitri-ol. Methods Thirty-six patients on maintenance hemodialysis were randomly divided into Dca1.25 group and Dca1.5 group, 18 cases in each group. Patients took different doses of calcitriol on the different values of PTH basis. Changes of se-rum calcium, phosphorus, calcium-phosphorus product,PTH and bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP) levels were recorded re-spectively on four time points from prior treatment and 1, 3 and 6 months of therapy. The levels of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were also observed. Results There was an interaction between treatment effects and time effects in serum calcium, phosphorus, calcium-phosphorus product levels in two groups (P<0.05). With the dura-tion of treatment, there was a trended to decrease and increase respectively in DCa 1.25 group and DCa 1.5 group, and trend-ed to stabilize for therapy 3 to 6 months. There was no interaction between serum PTH and BAP levels and time effects in two groups. There was no statistical difference in simple treatment effects and time effects. The serum PTH level showed a trend of increase gradually in DCa1.5 group with the duration of treatment. In DCa 1.25 group, the serum PTH level trended to stabilize after 3-month therapy and showed a trend of decrease gradually. There was an interaction between treatment effects and time effects in SBP in two groups, but no interaction in DBP. There was a significant difference in SBP before and after treatment in two groups. The level of SBP reduced tardily with time of treatment and reduced significantly after 3 and 6-month therapy. Conclusion The application of DCa1.25 dialysate in combination with calcitriol decreased serum calci-um effectively and kept the lower limit of normal value, which increased tolerability of active vitamin D and calcium carbon-ate therapy, and decreased SBP in maintenance hemodialysis patients.

A highly sensitive electrochemical deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA) biosensor based on multi-walled carbon nanotubes(MWNT)/Ag-TiO_2 composite film was developed. The solution containing Ag-TiO_2-MWNT composite was casted on the carbon paste electrode surface to form a robust film, which combine the advantages of the good biocompatibility of Ag-TiO_2 naocomposite and the fine conductivity, as well as the large active surface area of carbon nanotubes. The composite could greatly improve the immobilization capacity of the probe DNA. The morphologies and electrochemistry of the nanocomposite film were investigated by scanning electron microscopy and electrochemical techniques including electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry, respectively. DNA hybridization events were monitored by a label-free method of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. This label-free electrochemical impedance DNA biosensor showed high sensitivity and selectivity for phosphinothricin acetyltransferase gene sequence assay. The multicomponents films also displayed a high stability during repeated regeneration and hybridization process.

Lithium carbonate could be used to treat or prevent brain damage following traumatic injury and neurodegenerative diseases.It has been shown that its protective effect is related to protein kinase C (PKC) and extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK).It was demonstrated that PDBu,a PKC activator,inhibited amplitudes of delayed rectifier potassium current (It,) and produced a hyperpolarizing shift in the activation-voltage curve.The responses to PDBu were inhibited by lithium carbonate (50μmol/L).Further studies showed that when pretreated with MEK/ERK inhibitor U0126 (20 μmol/L),although PDBu significantly reduced IK,lithium did not reverse the effect of PDBu.Thus,the results suggested that PKC signaling cascades,along with MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) pathway,were required in the phosphorylation of potassium channel,which was presented by regulation of potassium channel characteristic.AC-cAMP and their eross-talk with GC-cGMP pathway could also modulate the effect of lithium on PKC activation,which could be one of underlying mechanisms likely related to neuroprotective effect of lithium.

AIM: To evaluate the cardiac contractility and relaxation by Doppler tissue imaging (DTI) combined with myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) via injection of contrast media, Albunex. METHODS: Nineteen healthy mongrel dogs were conducted 60 min ligation of left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD), followed by reperfusion of 60, 120 and 180 min to establish an acute myocardial ischemic-reperfused canine model. (1) MCE was performed by bolus injection of Albunex at pre-reperfusion and at post-reperfusion. The perfused defect area defined by MCE at pre-reperfusion was regarded as risk area (RAMCE), while perfused defect area at post-reperfusion was regarded as no-reflow area (NRAMCE). When the ratio of NRAMCE to RAMCE exceeded 25%, myocardial reperfusion was considered incomplete, I.e., no-reflow group; If the ratio was <25%, myocardial reperfusion was considered adequate, I.e., reflow group. (2) Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and wall thickness ratio (△T%) of LV anterior wall were determined. (3)S-wave, e-wave and a-wave velocities at the LV anterior wall were determined by DTI. The e/a ratio was measured. RESULTS: The results of MCE showed 7 dogs in reflow group and 10 dogs in no-reflow group. (1) LVEF in reflow group gradually increased with time course after myocardial reperfusion, and in no-reflow group, however, LVEF increasingly declined with ongoing myocardial reperfusion. At the same reperfusion time point, LVEF of no-reflow group was significantly lower than that of reflow group. (2) △T% in reflow group improved gradually, and however, it can not come back to that of baseline at 180-min reperfusion. △T% in no-reflow group had no signal of recovery with progressive reperfusion. (3) S-wave, e-wave velocities measured by DTI significantly declined after ligation of LAD, and a-wave velocity increased, leading to decline of e/a. After myocardial reperfusion, s-wave, e-wave velocities and e/a in reflow group gradually increased at post-reperfusion, and a-wave velocity somewhat declined. In no-reflow group, on the other hand, s-wave, e-wave velocities and e/a progressively declined and a significant difference was present between reflow group and no-reflow group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Cardiac contractility and relaxation can not be recovered during myocardial microvascular impairment. This change may be further deteriorated with size enlargement of no-reflow area. DTI may provide a sensitive, reliable method for quantifying cardiac contractility and relaxation.
