OBJECTIVE:To examine the effects of sanazole and of sanazole combining with ?-ray irradiation on the colony formation ratio of granuloid/macrophage committed progenitor cell(CFU-GM)from mouse bone marrow in vivo.METHODS:(1)After a series of doses of sanazole solution(50,100,200mg/kg)was given to mice intravenously,CFU-GMs were separated from mouse bone marrow for evaluating their colony formation ratio.(2)To evaluate the radiosensitization of sanazole,a series of doses of sanazole solution(50,100,200mg/kg)was given to mice intravenously 30min before the mice were exposed to ?-ray irradiation in different doses(5,10,20Gy)respectively.After each treatment,CFU-GMs were separated from mice marrow for counting the ratio of colony formation.RESULTS:(1)Sanazole especially in large doses didn’t showed considerable cytotoxicity to CFU-GM colony formation in mice in vivo.(2)The inhibiting effect of a series of doses of sanazole solution combined with a series of doses of radiation (5,10,20Gy)on colony formation of CFU-GM from mice bone marrow was the same as that of radiation alone.CONCLUSION:Large doses of sanazole showed no obvious effect on the colony formation of CFU-GM of mouse bone marrow in vivo.No radiosensitization to the colony formation of CFU-GM was found in vivo when a series of doses of sanazole in combination with radiation were used.

Objective To study the tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) expressed in invasive pituitary adenomas (IPA). Methods The expression of TNF-α and IL-6 were observed with immunohistochemstry (SP approach) in tissue from 40 cases of non-invasive pituitary adenomas (NIPA) and 40 cases of IPA. Results The expression of both TNF-α and IL-6 was significantly increased in the IPA tissues compared with those of NIPA (P<0.05). Conclusion TNF-α and IL-6 may play a role in the occurrence and development of IPA.

OBJECTIVETo study the influence of estradiol on histomorphology of skin flaps with ischemia reperfusion injury.

METHODS48 adult male Wistar rats aged 12-14 weeks old, were randomly divided into control group (group I), ischemia-reperfusion group (group II), saline group (group III), estradiol group (group IV). Superficial epigastric artery axial flap, 3 cm x 6 cm in size, was made in the left lower quadrant abdominal of each rat. Flap model with ischemia-reperfusion injury was established by using the nondestructive micro vascular clamp to clamp the superficial epigastric artery. The general condition of the flap was observed after operation. At 7 days after operation, the survival rate of the flap was detected, the flaps were harvested to receive histology and ultrastructural observation. The neutrophils level of the superficial epigastric vein were tested.

RESULTS7 days after operation, the survival rate of the flap in group IV was significantly higher than that in group II, III (P < 0.05). The neutrophils level in group IV was lower than that in group II, III (P < 0.05). The histological observation showed that the degree of tissue swelling and inflammatory exudation in group IV was more slight than that in group II, III. Presence of high neutrophils density were observed in group II, III, while slight inflammation and necrosis were observed in group IV. In group I, collagen fibers in flap are regularly arranged with no significant necrosis. Oganelles structure disappeared and apoptotic bodies were shown in group II and group III, even the lysosome could be seen in the cell. Collagen fibers in flap are regularly arranged with slight swelling and no obvious ultrastructural necrocytosis was seen in the cell of group IV.

CONCLUSIONThe estradiol can significantly increase flap survival rate by inhibiting neutrophils infiltration and improving the pathological changes of organization structure in flap.

The aim of the study is to investigate the prognostic value of plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) in patients with acute pulmonary embolism. Plasma BNP concentrations were measured in 47 cases with acute pulmonary embolism. Plasma BNP levels in massive or sub-massive pulmonary embolism were higher than those in no-massive pulmonary embolism (P = 0. 001,0. 048) ; BNP levels in survival cases were higher than those in fatal cases ( P = 0. 027 ). The incidence of massive or sub-massive pulmonary embolism in patients with BNP >400 pg/ml was higher than that with BNP≤400 pg/ml ( 100% vs. 75%,P = 0. 023 ). Results indicate that plasma BNP concentration might be associated with risk stratification and prognosis of the disease.

Objective To investigate influencing factors of perioperative myocardial injury in patients undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods Ninty one patients with coronary heart disease (including stable angina and unstable angina) underwent PCI, the perioperative myocardial injury incidence were observed prospectively by monitoring the preoperative and postoperative high sensitivity troponin protein levels to investigate the influencing factors of perioperative myocardial injury by Logistic regression analysis. Results There were no statistically significance in perioperative myocardial injury incidence (62.5%vs 68.7%, P=0.618) and perioperative myocardial infarction incidence (29.2%vs 20.9%, P=0.411) between stable angina and unstable angina groups . These factors of perioperative myocardial injury in patients undergone PCI by Logistic regression analysis were analysed, and we found that the influencing factors were the application loading dose rosuvastatin before PCI, preoperative statin therapy more than one month, apolipoprotein A levels and total stent length. Conclusion Application loading dose of rosuvastatin before PCI, preoperative statin therapy more than one month, apolipoprotein A levels are related to perioperative myocardial injury reduction, whereas the total length of the stent is associated with an increased occurrence of perioperative myocardial injury.

Objective To observe the efficacy of finasteride and M-receptor antagonist (tolterodine tartrate release tablet) in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with overactive bladder (OAB).Methods 40 patients with BPH and OAB were treated with finasteride (5 mg,Qd) and tolterodine tartrate release tablet (4 mg,Qd) for 6 months.The clinical effects were evaluated by the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS),Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS),urgency rating scale,maximum flow rate,voiding volume,prostate volume before and after treatment.Results Compared with before treatment,the IPSS,OABSS,urgency rating scale,maximum flow rate,voiding volume,prostate volume were improved [(11.8±1.4) vs.(19.2±2.1),(4.6±2.6) vs.(9.3±1.8),(1.2±1.9) times/week vs.(4.7±1.0) times/week,(14.5±2.7) ml/s vs.(10.2±2.2) ml/s,(25.2±2.6) ml vs.(34.6±3.2) m1,(46.2±2.2) ml vs.(57.6±1.3) ml,all P＜0.05] after treatment.No urinary retention and other adverse reactions were found.Conclusions Finasteride combined with M-receptor antagonist (tolterodine tartrate release tablet) is an effective and safe therapeutic method for patients with BPH and OAB.

OBJECTIVE: To study the relationship among the dosage, serum concentration and clinical effect of phenytoin(PHT) in treating epileptic patients .METHODS: 130 steady -- state serum concentrations of PHT were determined by fluores-cence polarization immunoassay(FPIA) in 70 patients with or without other drugs used in combination .RESULTS: The indi-vidual difference among the patients who received routine dosage of PHT was very significant. Intoxication occurred ex-tremely often in patients whose PHT serum concentrations were over 30?g/ml .CONCLUSION: It is necessary to perform TDM(Therapeutic Drug Monitoring) and individualize the use of PHT,so that the safe and effective use of drug can be ensured.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of close-loop muscle relaxant injcction system (CLMRIS) combined with auditory evoked potentials index for monitoring in elderly patients during general anesthesia.Methods A total of 100 patients undergong abdominal operation with ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ anesthesia in our hospital from February 2012 to October 2012 were selected.Patients were randomly divided into 2 groups:the traditional group (n=50) and the CLMRIS group (n=50).The traditional group was anaesthetized according to clinical experience,and the CLMRIS group was used with the muscle relaxant guided by the close-loop muscle relaxant injection system.The auditory evoked potential (AEP) index and the life index were observed,and the dose of muscle relaxant,the time of consciousness recovery,dynamic response rate during operation and the adverse reaction were recorded at the time points at entering the operating room,induction of anesthesia,tracheal intubation,incision,into the abdominal,exploration,closing abdomen,skin suture,consciousness recovery,tracheal extubation,out of room (T0-T10).Results The vital signs in all patients were stable.The dynamic response rate during operation was lower in the CLMRIS group than in the traditional group at each time points of T8-T10 (all P＜0.05).There was no increase in mean artery pressure (MAP) and heart rate in groups at the time points of T0-T1,T8-T10 (all P＞0.05).The time of tracheal intubation,tracheal extubation and consciousness recovery were shorter in the CLMRIS group than in the traditional group [(268±30.4) min vs.(172±23.7) min,(14±6.4) min us.(18±7.9) min,(8.8±2.9) min vs.(12.2±4.6) min,respectively,t=3.277,6.341,3.346,all P＜0.05].There were no significant differences in AEP index between groups at the time of T0 (P＞0.05),but at the time of T1,the AEP index was lower in CLMRIS group than in the traditional group (P＜0.05).Conclusions The application of close loop muscle relaxant injection system can improve the safety of general anesthesia in the elderly and reduce the incidence of postoperative residual paralysis.The CLMRIS combined with the auditory evoked potential for monitoring depth of anesthesia can prevent and reduce the incidence of intraoperative awareness,has a strong controllability in general anesthesia with smooth induction,and can reduce the dose of anesthetic drugs to achieve the best anesthetic effect.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the regulating effect of pravastatin on hyperlipidemia and hypertension in patients with coronary heart disease.METHODS:80 patients with coronary heart disease were randomly divided into 2 groups,pravastatin treatment group(pravastatin,20 mg,qd,n=42)and placebo control group(placebo,qd,n=38).The course of treatment was 4 weeks in both groups,serum total cholesterol(TC),triglycerides(TG),high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)were assayed,and systolic blood pressure(SBP)as well as diastolic blood pressure(DBP)were measured before and after 4 weeks of treatment.RESULTS:There was a significant decrease of serum TC and TG levels,as well as DBP in treatment group after treatment,as compared with control group,while HDL-C level increased significantly(P

Objective To investigate the effect of baseline Left-ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) on the cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Methods A retrospective analysis of patients with heart failure was performed. Fifty-four patients [aged (59.73 ± 11.61)years, 31 males, 23 females] who underwent CRT/CRTD were divided into 2 groups according to LVEF ( group A, LVEF≤ 35%; group B, LVEF > 35% ). NYHA class, LVEF,CRT respond rates and medical adverse event (MAE) due to worsening heart failure were detected at 3 and 12 months post-surgery. Results The score of NYHA class changing wasn′t different between these two group. Compared to group B, LVEF was markedly increased (5.08 ± 2.81)% vs (2.45 ± 1.80)%, P < 0.05;(5.38 ± 2.92)% vs (2.39 ± 3.53)%, P < 0.05)at 3 and 12 months post-surgery. Similarly, group A owned high CRT response rates(66.1% vs 33.9%, P < 0.05; 81.25% vs 47.83%, P < 0.05) at the both two time points. At 12 months post-surgery , LVED decreased and the MAE was similar in all groups. Conclusion Patients with EF≤ 35% have more increases in LVEF and own high CRT response rates post-CRT.
