Objective To explore influence of hypertriglyceridemia on serum NO ET-1 and the grade of the pathology severity in rats with severe acute pancreatitis. Methods 36 SD rats were randomly divided into 2 groups, group A (HLSAP group) , group B (SAP group). Severe acute pancreatitis was constructed by retrograde injection of 5% na-taurocholate. Blood samples were taken from all subjects to measure triglyceride, ET-1 and NO, pancreatic tissue samples were taken from head of pancreas and stained with H. E. , the degree of pancreatic damage was observed according to the point score of Schmidt and Pozsar's methods. Results In group A, the concentration of ET-1 increased more obviously than that in group B at 4 hour and 8 hour period(P ＜0. 05). The concentration of NO declined both in group A and group B at 12 hours period,but it had a great decline in group A. Animals with hyperlipidemia and severe acute pancreatitis developed significantly higher(P ＜0. 05) ET-1 than the animals of the non-hyperlipamic severe acute pancreatit group in 4 hours and 8 hours period. NO declined in group A and group B at 12 hours period, group A have significantly higher(P ＜0. 05) decline than group B in NO. The histological degree of pancreatic damage were significantly higher in group A than that in the group B at all times. Conclusions Mircrocirculation disorder had existed disorder in the early of SAP. Hypertriglyceridemia could incrase ET-1 and NO earlier and higher in severe acute pancreatitis, and then decline in the late stage. Hypertriglyceridemia intensified the pathologichistological degree of pancreatic damage.

Gastrodin (GAS) is the major bioactive component of the extracts from the rhizome of Gastrodia elata Blume. The aim of this study is to investigate the transport of GAS in Caco-2 cells and the interaction of P-glycoprotein and GAS. The apparent permeability coefficients (Papp) of GAS were measured as a function of directions and concentrations. It was demonstrated that the efflux ratio was < 2.0 over the range of 50-500 micromol x L(-1) of GAS from bi-directional transport studies. The transport rate of GAS was dependent on the concentrations. Papp of GAS was not affected by transport directions, GAS concentration or the classical inhibitors of P-glycoprotein (verapamil and GF 120918). The cellular accumulation of GAS in Bcap37/MDR1 cells transected with hMDR1 gene, was similar to that in Bcap37 cells. The accumulation in both cell lines was concentration dependent. GAS did not affect the accumulation of Rhodamine 123 in Bcap37/MDR1 cells over the range of 50-500 micromol x L(-1). It indicated that the transport of GAS in Caco-2 cell monolayers mainly is by passive paracellular transport pathway. P-glycoprotein did not participate in the absorption of GAS in the intestine or the transport across the blood-brain barrier.

To provide an effective approach to select, develop, interpret and apply well-designed quality indicators. Then to promote the continual improvement of laboratory quality and to assure patient safety. We focused on the quality cycle of selecting, development, implementation and processing for quality indicators. And some examples for essential activities in the development and use of quality indicators were shown. Through the presentation of process and examples, we put forward an organized approach that provides the laboratory with a plan to structure its development of quality indicators to gather useful information. Quality indicators are important. However, they should be integrated with internal review plan, External Quality Assessment (EQA) and the process of activities in plan. Only then can we really promote the continual improvement of quality.

AIM To express recombinant human cytochrome P450 3A4 mutants CYP3A4.3, CYP3A4.4, CYP3A4.5 and CYP3A4.18, and to employ them for in vitro metabolism studies of CYP3A4. METHODS Use Bac-to-Bac baculovirus expression system to recombinant baculovirus carrying cDNA of CYP3A4 mutants CYP3A4.3, CYP3A4.4, CYP3A4.5 and CYP3A4.18. Spodoptera frugiperda 9 (Sf9), cells were co-infected by recombinant viruses of CYP3A4 mutants, human NADPH-P450 oxidoreductase and cytochrome b5 to obtain recombinant proteins CYP3A4.3, CYP3A4.4, CYP3A4.5 and CYP3A4.18 with metabolic activity. RESULTS The mRNA transcription of CYP3A4 mutants in Sf9 cells were validated by RT-PCR. Testosterone and 7-benzyloxy-4-(trifluoromethyl) coumarin were metabolized by the lysates of Sf9 cells infected by the recombinant viruses. CONCLUSION CYP3A4 mutants CYP3A4.3, CYP3A4.4, CYP3A4.5 and CYP3A4.18 with metabolic activity were successfully expressed by baculovirus-insect cell expression system. The results indicated that recombinant CYP3A4. 5 showed lower activity comparing to the wild type protein towards testosterone, while CYP3A4. 18 with higher activity, and for CYP3A4.3 and CYP3A4.4 showing similar activity to the wild type protein.

Objective To assess the effects of intraventricular conduction abnormality on left ventricular function in dilated cardiomyopathy. Methods The study composed of 3 groups,16 patients of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) without wide QRS complexes, 16 patients of DCM with complete left bundle branch block(CLBBB),and 16 age-matched healthy individuals,all showing sinus rhythm and being complicated with mitral regurgitation. Pre-ejection contraction time(PET), left ventricular ejection time(LVET), left ventricular filling time(LVFT), myocardial performance index(MPI), mitral regurgitation time(MRT), stroke volume(SV) were recorded with pulsed or continuous-wave Doppler. Pulse tissue Doppler imagining(TDI) was performed to measure the time dispersity of electromechanical motion of left ventricular in systole and diastole on the atrial-ventricular annulus with mapping techniques. Results Time dispersity of electromechanical motion of adjacent left ventricular segments in systole[((77.9)?(13.6))ms vs ((52.1)?(13.2))ms vs ((28.3)?(7.2))ms, P

OBJECTIVE:To analyze the relationship between the drug-resistance level of pseudomonas aeruginosa and the consumption of antibiotics so as to provide scientific basis for the rational use of antibiotics.METHODS:The consumption of antibiotics in inpatients in our hospital from 2004 to 2007 and the susceptibility test results on pseudomonas aeruginosa were investigated and the data were subjected to multiple linear regression using SPSS13.0 software.RESULTS:Positive association was noted between drug resistance of pseudomonas aeruginosa and the consumption of antibiotics.CONCLUSION:Antibiotics should be used rationally in accordance with clinical sensitivity test results in the treatment of infection caused by pseudomonas aeruginosa and the abuse of antibiotics should be reduced so as to reduce the production of drug-resistance bacteria.

The concept of golden mean (Zhong Yong), i.e. moderation, is the highest principle of moral cultivation in Confucianism. It entails an exclusive methodology in addressing politics, philosophy and everything in the universe. This concept has permeated into all aspects of traditional Chinese culture. As an ancient therapy, tuina is an important part of Chinese medicine and has its characteristic theory and methods. Just like Chinese medicine, tuina has long been greatly influenced by the concept of golden mean. To better promote the development of tuina, it’s necessary to investigate the historical evolution of tuina and the concept of golden mean as well as the influence of ‘golden mean’ idea on tuina manipulation, mechanism and treatment.

0.05);however,the urine G-actin con-centrations were significantly higher in renal involved patients than those of non-renal involved patients(P0.05)in SLE patients.Conclusions The elevated G-actin concentration in the blood of SLE may inhibits the DNaseⅠactivity,which may be one of possible causes to render the decreased DNaseⅠactivity in the blood.
