Objective To explore the clinical effect of two different connecting tubes in hemodialysis combined with hemoperfusion. Methods A total of 25 patients were selected and divided into observation group and control group by self- control method. In the observation group, the hemodialysis combined with hemoperfusion was used 8 times, and the control group was treated with hemodialysis combined with hemoperfusion 8 times using conventional connecting tube. The time of the unloading of the perfusate and the amount of physiological saline required were compared between the two groups. There was no blood spillover during the unloading of the perfusate, the number of cases of allergic reaction during the treatment, and the coagulation of the dialyzer and the pipeline after the treatment. Results There was no allergic reaction in both groups. There was no significant difference between the two groups in the amount of saline needed to return blood (t=46.412, P=0.307). In the control group, there was 15 cases of blood spillover, while the observation group did not show blood spillover. There was significant difference between the two groups in unloading perfusion time(4.43±0.14)min vs. (3.02±0.11) min (t=10.784, P=0.003). The level Ⅰ and Ⅱ blood coagulation of dialyzer and pipeline was 12, 2 cases in the control group after the treatment and 5, 0 case in the observation group, no level Ⅲ blood coagulation cases, and there was a significant difference between the two groups (χ2=10.667, P<0.01). Conclusion In the hemodialysis combined with hemoperfusion therapy, multi-function group of the application effect is superior to conventional piping, is worthy of clinical application.

Objective To investigate the anti-proliferation effect of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ(PPARγ)agonist troglitazone(TGZ)on leukemic Raji cells and its mechanisms.Methods Raji cells in culture medium in vitro were given different concentrations of TGZ(0～60 μmol/L)for 24,48 and 72 h.The inhibitory rates of the cells were measured by MTT assay,cell apoptotic rate was detected by flow cytometry(FCM),agarose gel electrophoresis was used to observe the DNA ladder,and western blotting was used to analyzed the variation of apoptosis related proteins bcl-2,Bax and Survivin.Results TGZ(over 20 μmol/L)could inhibit the growth of Raji cells and cause apoptosis remarkably,the suppression was both in time-and dose-dependent manner.DNA ladder was observed after the cells treated by TGZ for 72 h,and western blotting analysis revealed that anti-apoptotie proteins Survivin and bcl-2 were decreased remarkably while pro-apoptotic protein Bax increased significantly after the cells were treated by TGZ for 48 h.Conclusion PPARγ agonist TGZ can inhibit the growth and induce apoptosis on Raji cells significantly,downregnlating the expression of Survivin and bcl-2 as well as upregulating of Bax expression of Raji cells may be one of its most important mechanisms.

AIM: In order to explore the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC), an experimental colitis in mouse was induced by the hapten dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB), and the activity of leukocyte migration inhibitory factor (LMIF) was measured at the same time. METHODS: 67 BALB/c mice were randomly divided into control (60% ethanol) and DNCB groups. After they were sensitized by smearing 3.3% DNCB on the abdominal skin, they were challenged with DNCB at concentration of 0.1%, 0.2% and 0.4% respectively by instillation once a day. The weight, stool viscosity and hematochezia were observed and accumulated as disease active index (DAI) score. The pathological changes in colon tissue were judged macropathologically and by means of microscope. LMIF activity was determined by the absorbance (A) of migrated leukocytes. RESULTS: Compared to control group, the increases in DAI accumulate score, pathologic score, and LMIF activity in DNCB groups were observed. CONCLUSION: Mouse colitis was induced by DNCB, which was accompanied by an increase in LMIF activity. [

Chronic intermitted hypoxia including sleep breathing disorder leads to brain injury. This study explores the potential therapeutic effects of grape seed proanthocyanidin as a neuroprotective agent. A rat model of chronic intermittent hypoxia was employed, and the animals were given low or high doses of grape seed proanthocyanidin. The ultrastructure changes in the brain, the biochemical components, and the animal behavior were examined. The results showed that with hypoxia exposure, neuronal mitochondria exhibited injuries at ultrastructural level, with increased malondialdehyde (MDA) content and reduced superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining revealed increased cell apoptosis in hippocampus. In Morris water maze the animals showed decreased learning abilities, when compared to normal control. The administration of grape seed proanthocyanidin treatment reversed all these observed changes, and improved the learning behavior. We concluded that grape seed proanthocyanidin could alleviate the brain injury caused by hypoxia from sleep breathing disorder.

Objective To explore the induced effects of colchicine in different concentration and times on Foeniculum vulgare polyploidy.Methods Seed germination rate and mutation rate,morphology of radicle induced mutants,chromosome number,tissue structure,and content and component of essential oil,which induced by colchicine in different concentiation and times were investigaled using the method of soaking seeds.Results The results showed that 0.13% of colchicine concentration and 24 h inducing time had the best induction on F.vulgare polyploidy.Compared to the control,the radicle of mutant was thicker,the chromosome number increased clearly,and the cell number in radicle manifolded distinctly.Among the four main components of essential oil,the contents of Dill apiol in anamorphosis radicle was a little lower than that of the control,but the contents of limonene,(E)-anethole,and camphene in anamorphosis radicle were all remarkably higher than that of the control after induced by colchicine.ConclusionThe content of main essential oil components in fennel mutant induced by colchicine is remarkably enhanced.The study provides the theoretical basis for the breeding of F.vulgare new varieties of high oil content.

ObjectivesTo evaluate the effect of combination of liraglutide,a glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue and pioglitazone,an insulin sensitizer,on diabetic db/db mice.MethodsThirty-five 8-week old male db/db mice were divided into control group (n = 8 ),pioglitazone group (n =9 ),liraglutide group (n =9) and combined therapeutic group (n =9),which was given normal saline 0.1 ml,2/d,pioglitazone 24 mg· kg-1 · d-1 (feed contained 0.02％ pioglitazone) + normal saline 0.1 ml,2/d,liraglutide 300 mg/kg,2/d,and pioglitazone 20 mg · kg-1 · d -1 ( feed contained 0.02％ pioglitazone) +liraglutide 300 mg/kg,2/d,respectively.Liraglutide were given at 8:00 and 16:00 via subcutaneous injection after having been diluted with sterilized normal saline.Effect on glucose,lipid metabolism and islet β-cell preservation were assessed after 4 weeks.Oneway ANOVA was adopted for statistical analysis.Results Combination therapy displayed promising anti-hyperglycemic[glycosylated hemoglobin Alc: (4.5 ± 0.6)％vs.(7.3 ±0.4)％,P ＜ 0.001].Glucose tolerance were improved assessed by area under curve(AUC) of glucose by intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (IPGTT)[(1814 ±91 ) mmol · min · L-1 vs.(4042 ±183) mmol · min · L-1,P ＜0.001];insulin release response to glucose were also preserved as AUC of insulin by IPGTT was higher[( 1639 ±372) μg · min · L-1 vs.(834 ±201 )μg · min · L-1].Combination therapy also reduced circulated free fatty acids and TG[( 202.0 ± 20.4 ) μmol/L vs.( 272.5 ± 21.7 )μmol/L,(0.81 ± 0.28) mmol/L vs.( 1.35 ± 0.21 ) mmol/L],and increased plasma adiponectin [(16.7±2.0)mg/L vs.(10.2±1.8)mg/L].All P value ＜0.05.Islet immunohistochemistry showed that combination therapy significantly increased insulin positive area were[( 59.5 ± 1.5 ) ％ vs.( 22.4 ±1.5) ％]and ratio of Brdu positive β-cells was three folds than vehicle-treated mice[( 2.4 ± 0.5 ) ％ vs.(0.8 ±0.3)％],both greater than each single treatment.Combined therapy significantly improved islet β cell/α cell distribution,which led to islet recovery.ConclusionsCombined therapy improves glucose and lipid metabolism,preserves islet β-cell function and stimulates β-cell proliferation,greater than either liraglutide or pioglitazone treatment alone.

Pancreatic stellate cell (PSC) activation in islet fibrosis of insulin-resistant rats induced by high-fat diet was investigated. After 20 weeks, the glucose infusion rate and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in high-fat group were significantly decreased while fasting plasma glucose, fasting serum insulin, free fatty acid and the basal glucagon secretion were significantly increased compared with those parameters of the control rats (P< 0.05 or P<0.01). Activated PSC and collagen fiber ( type Ⅰ and Ⅲ) were found in islets of rats fed with high-fat. The result suggests that PSC activation, proliferation and migration to islet may contribute to islet fibrosis in insulin-resistant rats.
