To investigate the influence of the difference enhancers on the transport mechanism of chlorogenic acid (CGA) across Caco-2 cells model, a RP-HPLC method was adopted to detect the concentrations of CGA. At the concentrations of 20 to 80 microg x mL(-1), the difference of absorption rate constants (K(a)) was not statistically significant. At the concentrations of 40 and 20 microg x mL(-1), the ratios of apparent permeability coefficients (P(app)) of the apical to basolateral and the basolateral to apical were 1.14 and 1.18, respectively. With the effect of enhancers K(a) and P(app) increased, the absorption half-life (T1/2) decreased. CGA passed through the Caco-2 cell membrane mainly by passive transport. It showed that monocarboxylic acid transporter (MCT) could be involved in the across membrane transport process of CGA. Borneol had no effect on the cell membrane transport processes. The order of increasing absorption of CGA caused by the enhancers was sodium lauryl sulphate > sodium taurocholate > carbomer.

Objective To investigate the effect of mild hypothermia on the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and glucose transporter-1 (GLUT-1) in a rat model of chronic cerebral ischemia-reperfusion.Methods Thirty-six female SD rats weighing 170-210 g were randomly divided into 3 groups (n = 12 each):sham operation group (group S), normal body temperature group (group NT ) and mild hypothermia group (group MH). Arterio-venous fistula was established by end-to-end anastomosis between the right common carotid artery and right external jugular vein for 6 weeks followed by reperfusion. In group MH, mild hypothermia was induced at the initiation of reperfusion and the rectal temperature was reduced to 31.5-32.5 ℃. In group S and NT, the rectal temperature was maintained at 37-38 ℃. Six rats in each group were sacrificed at 3 and 48 h of reperfusion. The brains were immediately removed for determination of the expression of HIF-1α, GLUT-1, HIF-1α mRNA and GLUT-1 mRNA and microscopic examination. Results Compared with group S, the expression of HIF-1α and HIF-1α mRNA at 3 and 48 h of reperfusion and GLUT-1 mRNA at 3 h of reperfusion was up-regulated, while the expression of GLUT-1 and GLUT-1 mRNA at 48 h of reperfusion was down-regulated in group NT (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group NT, the expression of HIF-1α and HIF-1α mRNA at 48 h of reperfusion and HIF-1α mRNA and GLUT-1 mRNA at 3 h of reperfusion was down-regulated, while the expression of GLUT-1 and GLUT-1 mRNA at 48 h of reperfusion was up-regulated in group MH (P ＜ 0.05).Microscopic examination showed that the injury to the ultrastructure of blood-brain barrier was significantly attenuated in group MH compared with group NT. Conclusion Mild hypothermia can attenuate chronic ischemia-reperfusion injury by down-regulating the expression of HIF-1α and up-regulating the expression of GLUT-1.

Objective To explore the influence of nursing intervention on knowledge,attitude and behavior on patients with abnormal glucose metabolism during pregnancy.Methods 220 cases of abnormal glucose metabolism during pregnancy were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group,110 patients in each group.The patients in the control group were given only the general health education.The patients in the experimental group were given a series of nursing interventions on this basis.Mter treatment patients were investigated with influence of nursing intervention on knowledge,auimde and behavior.Results The gestational diabetes knowledge and treatment compliance of awareness in the experimental group were better than the control group.Conclusions During the blood glucose control treat-ment for patients with abnormal glucose metabolism during pregnancy,taking some care interventions can improve the patients' knowledge awareness and treatment compliance,and thus effectively control blood sugar levels,reduce the incidence of complications,making pregnancy safer and healthier.

This study was aimed to reveal the medication patterns of Chinese patent medicine in the treatment of breast hyperplasia based on association rules and clustering of data mining technology. Articles on Chinese patent medicine in the treatment of breast hyperplasia were retrieved from databases. External formulas or those mixed with western drugs were excluded. Terminologies in the selected formulas were standardized. Information was extracted to build excelltables. Association rules analysis and cluster analysis were used to reveal the medication patterns of Chi-nese patent medicine in the treatment of breast hyperplasia with software R2.15.2 and Cytoscape 2.8.3. The results showed that Chinese medicinals with higher frequency in 195 formulas were Radix bupleuri, Rhizoma cyperi, Chinese Angelica, Selfheal, White Peony Root, Trichosanthes kirilowii Maxim et al. Chinese medicinals with lower frequency were Chinese Alangium leaf, Rhinacanthus nasutus et al. The commonly used herbal pairs were Radix bupleuri -Chinese A ngelica, Rhizoma curcumae - Rhizoma sparganii, frankincense - myrrh et al. The strong association rules indicated that Xiaoyaosan, which takes Radix bupleuri and Chinese A ngelica as its core, is the key character of Chinese patent medicine in the treatment of breast hyperplasia. The cluster analysis revealed several Chinese medicine functional modules, such as Fructus forsythiae - Rhizoma smilacis glabrae - Evodia lepta - Chinese mahonia stem - Lignum millettiae et al. It was concluded that the herbal frequency, herbal pairs, strong associa-tion rules and cluster analysis can reveal the medication patterns of Chinese patent medicine in the treatment of breast hyperplasia in order to provide reference evidences in the optimization of clinical treatment for mula and im-provement of therapeutic efficacy.

Objective To explore the clinical value and typing characteristic of prenatal ultrasonography for fetal cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung(CAML).Methods Ultrasonographic features and typing of fetal CAML in 41 cases detected by prenatal ultrasonography were analyzed retrospectively.All cases were followed up until to the induction of labor or birth.Results (1)Site of tumor: in the 41 cases,there were 22 cases on the left side,15 on the right side and 4 on bilateral.(2)Typing diagnosis of prenatal ultrasonography: three cases were CAML type Ⅰ,14 were type Ⅱ,and 24 cases were type Ⅲ.(3)Pathology diagnosis: thirty two cases were induced abortion.CAML was confirmed in 29 cases by autopsy and the classifications were consistent with the prenatal diagnosis of ultrasonography.Three pulmonary sequestration cases were prenatally misdiagnosed as CAML type Ⅲ by ultrasonography.(4)The other nine cases were followed up to birth.Three masses decreased gradually and then disappeared.Six newborns were confirmed as CAML by CT.Their typings were consistent with the postnatal diagnosis.(5)The diagnostic accuracy rate of prenatal ultrasonography for CAML was 92.7%(38/41).Its misdiagnostic rate was 7.3%(3/41).Conclusions Prenatal ultrasonography has a high accuracy rate for the diagnosis and classification of CAML and is the first choice to detect CAML early in pregnancy.It has an important clinical value.Pulmonary sequestration should be distinguished from CAML type Ⅲ because they tend to be confused.

Objective To investigate the effects of high flow hemodialysis (HFHD) on cardiac function in uremia patients. Methods A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted. Sixty patients who were diagnosed with uremia, taken maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) and 30 healthy controls admitted to the Second People's Hospital of Guiyang from December 2014 to June 2015 were enrolled. They were randomly divided into two groups:HFHD group (HFHD three times a week) and the routine hemodialysis group (HD group, HD three times a week), with 30 in each group. Patients in each group were received hemoperfusion and hemofiltration once a month. Before the treatment and 6 months after the treatment, venous blood from all the patients were collected for testing the brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and the ultrasound cardiograph were done at the same period by a special person, the left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular end systolic diameter (LVESD), the left ventricular end diastolic volume (LVEDV), left ventricular end systolic volume (LVESV), left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPWT), interventricular septum thickness (IVST), early and late diastolic blood flow to the largest ratio (E/A), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular mass index (LVMI) were recorded. Results Compared with the health control group, BNP, cTnT, LVEDD, LVESD, LVESV, LVPWT, IVST were significantly increased, LVEDV were significantly lowered before treatment in the HD group and HFHD group. But no significant differences in the above indexes and E/A, LVEF, LVMI between two groups were found. Compared with the data before treatment, the BNP, LVPWT were significantly lowered after treatment in HD group [BNP (ng/L): 641.50±60.09 vs. 2676.20±454.30, LVPWT (mm): 10.57±1.16 vs. 12.57±1.41, both P < 0.05]. The BNP, LVPWT were significantly lowered in HFHD group as compared with HD group [BNP (ng/L): 253.10±48.77 vs. 641.50±60.09, LVPWT (mm): 9.29±1.08 vs. 10.57±1.16, both P < 0.05]; in addition, the cTnT, IVST, LVMI were significantly lowered after the treatment in HFHD group compared with those before treatment [cTnT (μg/L): 0.014±0.005 vs. 0.028±0.011, IVST (mm): 7.81±1.69 vs. 11.04±2.23, LVMI (g/m2): 149.10±15.77 vs. 158.70±17.25, all P < 0.05], and the LVEF were significantly increased in HFHD group as compared with those before treatment (0.574±0.068 vs. 0.528±0.082, P < 0.05). Conclusion HFHD has obvious advantages than the routine HD in improving cardiac function of uremia patients.

Objective To investigate the protective effect and its potential molecular mechanism of Nec-1 on cytotoxicity induced by cyclosporine A.Methods MRTEpiC, glomerular endothelial cell MGEC and mesangial cell line MMC were co-administered with Nec-1 and cyclosporin A in mouse renal tubular epithelial cell line, and then MTT assay and soft agar clone formation assay were used to detect Cell growth curve changes, clonal formation ability.Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry.The expression of cyclin D1, CDK4, CDK2, Cyclin E and apoptosis-related Caspase 3 were detected by Western blot.Results After cyclosporine A action, the cell growth ability was significantly decreased and the clone formation ability was significantly decreased(P<0.05).Cyclin D1, CDK4, CDK2 and Cyclin E were significantly increased(P<0.05), but the ratio of apoptosis and the expression of Caspase 3 did not change.Nec-1 has obvious protective effect on cytotoxicity induced by cyclosporine A, which can increase the cell growth ability and clone formation ability, and reduce the cell cycle-related proteins Cyclin D1, CDK4, CDK2, Cyclin E.Conclusion Nec-1 has cytotoxic effect on the glomeruli and renal tubular cells by up-regulating the cell cycle-related proteins Cyclin D1, CDK4, CDK2 and Cyclin E, while Nec-1 has protective effect.
