Objective To evaluate the role of by NO in reduction of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (IR)injury by ginsenoside Rb1 preconditioning in diabetic rats. Methods Forty healthy adult male SD rats weighing 220-280 g were used in this study. Diabetes mellitus was induced by intraperitoneal streptozotocin 65 mg/kg and confirmed by fasting blood glucose > 16.7 mmol/L. The animals were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n = 10each): sham operation group (group S), group IR, ginsenoside Rb1 group (group R) and L-NAME + ginsenoside Rb1 group (group LR). IR was produced by occlusion of the anterior descending branch of left coronary artery (LAD) for 30 min followed by 120 min reperfusion in group IR, R and LR. In group S, LAD was exposed but not occluded. In group LR, L-NAME 10 mg/kg was injected iv 25 min before ischemia. In group R and LR, ginsenoside Rb1 40 mg/kg was injected iv 10 min before ischemia. In group S and IR, eaqual volume of normal saline was injected instead of ginsenoside Rb1. The blood sample was taken from carotid artery at 120 min of reperfusion for determination of serum activities of creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Then the animals were sacrificed and myocadial tissues were obtained for determination of infarct size, endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression, MDA and NO contents, SOD activity and microscopic examination. Results The serum activities of CK and LDH were significantly increased and the myocardial infarct size was enlarged in group IR, R and LR, and eNOS expression was significantly down-regulated, MDA content was increased, and SOD activity and NO content was significantly decreased in group IR and LR compared with group S ( P < 0.05). The serum activities of CK and LDH, and MDA content were significantly decreased, the myocardial infarct size was reduced, the expression of eNOS was up-regulated and the activity of SOD was increased in group R compared with group IR and LR ( P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the indices mentioned above between group IR and LR ( P> 0.05). Conclusion Ginsenoside Rb1 preconditioning can attenuate myocardial IR injury in diabetic rats via activation of eNOS, increase in NO production, and inhibition of the lipid peroxidation reaction.

Objective To investigate the analgesic efficacy and spinal neurotoxicity of intrathecal (IT) different doses of dexmedetomidine in rats. Methods Sixty male SD rats weighing 180-220 g were randomly divided into 5 groups ( n = 12 each): groupnormal control (group C); group IT normal saline (group N); different doses of dexmedetomidine groups received IT dexmedetomidine 0.75, 1.50 and 3.00 μg/kg respectively (groups D1.3). Paw withdrawal threshold to mechanical stimulation (PWMT)with yon Frey filaments and tail flick latency (TFL) to a thermal nociceptive stimulus were measured before (To, baseline) and at 30 or60 rin after IT dexmedetomidine or normal saline administration (T1, T2 ) and the percentage of the maximum possible effect ( MPE ) was calculated. Lumbar segment of the spinal cord ( L4-6 ) was removed for microscopic examination and determination of c-Fos expression (by immuno-histochemistry) at 7, 24 and 48 h after IT dexmedetomidine or normal saline administration. Results PWMT, TFL and the percentage of MPE were significantly increased after IT dexmedetomidine as compared with the baseline values at T0 in groups D1-3 ( P < 0.05). PWMT was significantly higher at T1 and TFL and the percentage of MPE were higher at T2 in groups D1-3 than in groups C and N,and in group D3 than in groups D1,2 ( P < 0.05). At 7,24 h after IT dexmedetomidine c-Fos protein expression was significantly higher in group D3 than in groups C and N( P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in c-Fos expression at 48 h after IT dexmedetomidine between group D3 and groups C and N ( P > 0.05 ). At 24 h after IT dexmedetomidine c-Fos protein expression was significantly higher in group D3 than in other 4 groups( P < 0.05). Slight spinal cord injury was observed at 24 h after IT dexmedetomidine in group D3. Conclusion IT dexmedetomidine has antinociceptive effect. High dose dexmedetomidine IT can produce transient reversible toxicity to the spinal cord.

Objective To know prevalence of depression, its coping strategies and risk factors among infertile women with in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection. Methods Infertile women with IVF-ET were interviewed with center for epidemiologic studies short depression scale (CES-D10) and an abbreviated version of the COPE inventory (brief COPE), and their basal sex hormone values and estradiol ( E2 ) on the day of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) administration were monitored, as well as the number of oocytes yielded was counted. Results Prevalence of depression was 20.6% in infertile women, higher in those with more than eight years of marriage, infertility for more than six years, and receiving treatment for at least three years. Risk of depression among the women of infertility with monthly family income less than 3000 yuan was 14 times as those with more than 3000 yuan and risk of depression among them due to the factors of their husbands was 2/5 as those not due to men's. Depressive symptoms in the women increased with increasing of their basal follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level, counted egg number and scores of denial items. Occurrence of their depressive symptoms decreased with higher basal E2 levels, and scores of substance use and humor. Conclusions Some infertile women with IVF-ET do have depression and preventive intervention should be aimed at related factors for depression to improve their psychological health.
