The present experiments were designed to investigate the effects of atriopeptin I on different vascular smooth muscles.Isometric tension was recorded from spiral strips of human umbilical arteries, gastro-epiploica dextral arteries, rat and rabbit aorta. Atriopeptin H showed a potent inhibitor on the contraction induced by noradrenaline ( 3tmol/l), Serotonin ( lnmol/1), hista-mine ( 10M-mol/l ) and phenylephrine ( l(imol/l)in the strips of rat and rabbit aorta, but not on the contraction induced by the above-mentioned drugs and KC1 (80mmol/l), prostaglandine F2a ( 10umol /I) in umbilical and gastroepiploica dextral arteries of human beings. Sodium nitroprussids showed also a potent antagonist on the contraction induced by noradrenaline ( 3 M-mol/1) serotonin ( 1imol/l), histamine (10imol/1) and prostaglandine F2a (10nmol/l) in the strips of umbilical arteries.lt produced concentration-dependent inhibition of the contraction induced by noradrenaline.It could remarkably decrease the resting tension of the strips.The present results suggest that atriopeptin I exhibits a similar vasodilator profile in rat and rabbit aorta as that found for sodium nitroprusside in the human umbilical arteries.The ineffectiveness of atriopeptin I on human umbilicalj and gas-troepiploica dextral arteries is in marked contrast to the effectiveness of sodium nitroprusside in the human umbilical arteries, indicating that the action of atriopeptin f possesses species difference.

In recent years,antibiotics have been playing more and more important roles in maintaining human health with the increasing variety and quantity.However,under the influence of different reasons caused by subjective or objective factors,antibiotics irrational use has induced bacterial resistance and adverse reactions,which are becoming more and more serious.The paper put forward the countermeasures of antibiotics irrational use and provided reference for rational use of antibiotics based on the present situation analysis in China and foreign experience in order to control the irrational use.

Objective To study the immuno-protective effect against Schistosoma japonicum challenge of the positive monoclonal phages which were screened from the 12 mers-phage random peptide library by the new model rabbit serum. Methods The new model was established by injecting the Schistosoma japonicum infection rabbits with inhibitor of phenol oxidose. Positive clones immunoscreened with the new model rabbit sera were absorbed by SEA immune rabbit sera, and 14 clones selected randomly from them were compared and their antigenic ability was identified by ELISA. The two best positive monoclonal phages (No.8, No.13) recognized by the new model rabbit sera were selected to immunize Kunming mice by subcutaneously injecting 1?10~15 pfu positive phages at 0, 2nd, 4th week respectively. After 4 weeks of the last immunity,each mouse was challenged with 40?1 S.japonicum cercariae. All mice were sacrificed after 42 days and the reduction rates of adult worms and the liver eggs were investigated. Results The positive phage clones after immune absorption were weakly recognized by the SEA immune rabbit sera. The 14 monoclonal phages were recognized by the rabbit sera of the new model and the normal model. Especially No.8, No.13 were strongly recognized by the rabbit sera of the new model,while weakly recognized by the SEA immune rabbit sera. The reduction rates of adult worms and liver eggs induced by the monoclonal phage No.13, the monoclonal phage No.8 and the original peptide library were 35.81% and 63.32%, 32.09% and 52.02%, 14.90% and 30.64%, respectively. Conclusion Most clones of simulated epitopes of SEA can be removed by absorbing positive clones with SEA immune rabbit serum .The 14 monoclonal phages from the new model contain the simulated S.japonicum epitope. The two monoclonal phages have higher reduction rates of adult worms and eggs than original 12 mers-phage random peptide library and the positive polyclonal phages.[

Objective To investigate the relationship between apolipoprotein (Apo) e4 allele and endothelium dependent arterial dilation in females with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods One hundred and one female type 2 diabetic patients without angiopathy, aged 40 71 years, and 95 healthy female individuals were selected. PCR/allele specific oligonucleotide probes were used to determine Apo e genotypes, and high resolution ultrasound was applied to measure brachial artery flow mediated endothelium dependent dilation and glyceryltrinitrate (GNT) mediated endothelium independent dilation. Results (1) In both diabetic patients and healthy individuals, the flow mediated endothelium dependent arterial dilation in subjects with e4/3 or e4/4 genotypes was (3.22?0.29)% and (3.78?0.34)% respectively, which were significantly lower than those in subjects with e2/2 or e3/2 genotypes 〔(3.96?0.33)% and (4.74?0.41)%, P

Objective To analyze the correlation between liver pathology and clinical characteristics in a large series of patients with chronic HBV infections , so as to provide the data base for non-invasive medical diagnosis .Methods Liver pathology and clinical characteristics of 1 397 patients with chronic HBV infections were retrospectively analyzed . Ridit analysis and Spearman correlation analysis were performed to investigate the correlations of clinical characteristics with liver pathology of patients .Results In 1 397 patients, there were 604 patients (43.24%) with liver inflammation grading ≥G2 and 504 patients (36.08%) with fibrosis stage ≥S2.Inflammation grade and fibrosis stage of liver tissues were both higher in male patients than those in females (u=3.093 and 2.854, P<0.01).Inflammation grade and fibrosis stage of liver tissues in patients aged ≤30 years were lower than those in patients aged >30-40 years and >40 years (r=0.259 and 0.303, P<0.01;F=4.199 and 12.226,11.610 and 24.359, P<0.05 and <0.01).Patients with HBeAg( -) and HBV DNA≥103 copies/mL were of higher degrees in liver tissue inflammation compared with those with HBeAg ( +) and those with HBeAg ( -) but HBV DNA <103 copies/mL (F=8.788 and 5.635, all P<0.01);while the fibrosis stage in patients with HBeAg (-) and HBV DNA≥103 copies/mL was only higher than that in HBeAg ( +) patients (F=12.886, P<0.01). Liver tissue inflammation and liver fibrosis aggravated with the increase of ALT ( r=0.537 and 0.517, P<0.01).There was no significant difference in liver tissue inflammation among different age groups of patients with ALT (1-<2) ×ULN and HBV DNA≥103 copies/mL (χ2 =4.365, P >0.05),but there was significant difference in liver fibrosis in patients between aged >40 years and ≤30 years ( F=3.177,P<0.05).Conclusions Liver biopsy and antiviral therapy should be considered in chronic HBV infected patients with age of >30 years, lightly elevated ALT levels , HBeAg(-) and detectable HBV DNA levels , especially in male patients .Screening for liver fibrosis should be considered in patients with HBeAg ( -) and low HBV DNA levels .

Objective To analyze the clinical features and the correlation between radiographic parameters and incidence of calcaneal spur in the patients from Nanfang Hospital,Southern Medical University,China.Methods Three experienced observers independently used the image acquisition and transmission system (PACS) to collect the data of lateral and axial X-ray images of calcaneus or ankle joint in neutral position from the patients with calcaneal spur and normal controls who had undergone radiological examination in Nanfang Hospital,Southern Medical University from July 2014 through December 2015.Ten radiological parameters of the foot (B(o)hler angle,Gissane angle,calcaneal inclination angle,talocalcaneal angle,talus horizontal angle,posterior facet inclination angle,calcaneal length,height of the posterior facet,absolute foot height,and calcaneal width) were measured in both the patients and normal controls.The location,morphology and length of calcaneal spurs were compared between genders,sides and age groups.Results A total of 216 parpatients were included in the study.Female patients were more than male ones,simple plantar spurs more than simple achilles tendon ones,type B spurs more than type A ones,the length of achilles tendon spurs larger than that of plantar ones,female plantar spurs more than males ones,and the length of right foot plantar spurs larger than that of left foot ones.All the differences above were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).There were no significant differences in the location,morphology or length of calcaneal spurs between the age group of ≤ 60 years old and the age group of ＞ 60 years old (P ＞ 0.05).The incidence of calcaneal spur were significantly correlated to Gissane angle (P =0.000,OR =0.944,95％ CI 0.917-0.973),posterior facet inclination angle (P=0.017,OR=0.957,95％ CI 0.924-0.992) and height of the posterior facet (P =0.007,OR =0.933,95％ CI O.886-0.981).Conclusions Calcaneal spur favored more females than males.Plantar spurs were more common than Achilles ones.Plantar spurs of Type B were more common than those of Type A.Achilles spurs were longer than plantar ones.More females suffered plantar spur than males.Right foot spurs were longer than left foot ones.Age had no significant influence on the spur characteristics.The incidence of spur might have been related to the Gissane angle,posterior facet inclination angle and height of the posterior facet of the foot.

[Summary] The aim of this study was to examine the association between obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome ( OSAHS ) and microalbuminuria in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. We found that severe OSAHS significantly increases the risk of early renal damage in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with HbA1C<7% ( lowest oxygen saturation:OR=2. 41, 95% CI 1. 19-8. 08; apnea hyponea index: OR=2. 91, 95% CI 1. 50-9. 11), suggesting that OSAHS may increase the risk for early renal damage in type 2 diabetes mellitus, especially in those with successful control of glucose.
