Journal of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University 2013;(11):1309-1311
[Objective] To discuss the importance of causa morbi and early diagnosis and treatment on the prognosis and lapsing of hypoglycemia.[Method] Select 33 cases and make detailed enquiry and analysis to their causa morbi, occurrence time length and complications, supplement timely glucose injection, if necessary, administer glucocorticoid for treatment; observe the patients ’clinical symptoms relieve, and compare the usage of glucose and glucocorticoid, the in-hospital period and relative indexes of prognosis and lapsing.[Result] In the group, 28 cases are drug-induced hypoglycemia, occupying 84.85%;30 cases have the period less than 6h from occurrence to diagnosis, among which, 1 had cerebrovascular accident and consulted with neurology department, relieved with treatment, but with sequela of hemiplegia; 1 case had too long time of dizziness before coming to hospital(>24h), couldn ’t be better over treatment, the relatives gave up the treatment and went out of hospital; 1 was tested of islet celltumor and transferred to upper hospital, without recurring hypoglycemia being fol owed up.[Conclusion] Drug-induced hypoglycemia is the main reason for hypoglycemia, with much harm;early diagnosis, remov-ing causa morbi and active rescuing wil have good prognosis.
2.The roles of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 in carotid artery atherosclerosis and ischemic stroke
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2010;18(4):282-285
The lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2), a subtype of the phospholipase A2 superfamily, is produced primarily by macrophages and lymphocytes. Lp-PLA2specifically hydrolyzes oxidized phospholipids on oxidized low-density lipoprotein particles,resulting in production of lysophosphatidylcholine and oxidized fatty acids. Lp-PLA2 is expressed in atherosclerotic plaques and in macrophages within a fibrous cap of unstable plaque.Studies haw shown that the plasma Lp-PLA2 activity increases significantly in patients with ischemic stroke, and Lp-PLA2 may become an independent risk factor for predicting ischemic cerebrovascular events. The selective Lp-PLA2 inhibitor can reduce the inflammatory response,enhance the stability of plaques, and inhibit the formation of atherosclerotic plaques, and may become a new class of drugs for preventing the formation of atherosclerotic plaques.

Chinese Journal of Biochemical Pharmaceutics 2017;37(1):23-26
Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect and its mechanism of pathogenicity of streptozotocin diseased rats treated by the mixture of kelp extract, wolfberry, and Chinese yam. Methods Streptozotocin-diabetic rat model were taken the mixture of kelp extract, wolfberry and Chinese yam with the ratio of 1:1:1 by intragastric administration. positive control group was fed metformin of 83.5mg/kg, the control group and the model group were given the same amount of distilled water. The safety of high dose (1500 mg) of the mixture therapy for the normal rat were evaluated, their blood glucose levels, glucose tolerance, body weight and insulin levels were observed and its possible mechanism were analyzed. Results Compared with the model group, the disease diabetic rats of the administered group (250mg/kg,500mg/kg,1500mg/kg) were significantly alleviated. First of all, coat color was more shiny, the behavior were more physical agility. Followed by the decrease of blood glucose levels and AUC, and body weight and insulin levels were elevated. In cell experiments, the number of islet cells was increased in the administered group by the mixture in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion The mixture of kelp extract, wolfberry, and Chinese yam had obvious hypoglycemic effect. The hypoglycemic activity of the mixture may be attributed to increase insulin secretion through inhibit apoptosis of islet β-cells.

The most important cause of late mortality after lung transplantation is obliterative bronchiolitis ( OB) . It is clear that a good animal model is indispensable to further unravel and clarify the pathogenesis of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome ( BOS) .Many animal models have been developed to study BOS, however, so far, none of these models truly mimics the human condition.In recent years mouse models of orthotopic lung transplantation have been established, which provide potential possibilities for further studies of OB/BOS after lung transplantation.The aim of this article was to review the pros and cons of those animal models, and discuss the possible approaches to establish animal models of chronic rejec-tion after lung transplantation.

BACKGROUND:The long-term contraction of skeletal muscle can lead to the decrease of resting potential, affect its contraction, and result in the occurrence of fatigue. Whether acupuncture and injury-free magnetic lifting needle are effective on the recovery of resting potential? OBJECTIVE: To observe and compare the influence on the recovery of resting potential of skeletal muscle by taking acupuncture and magnetic needle as the recovery means.DESIGN: A controlled study.SETTINGS: College of Physical Education, Shanxi Normal University;Binzhou College of Shandong Province.MATERIALS: Thirty experimental toads, which were provided by Beijing University of Physical Education, were randomly divided into acupuncture group (n=10), magnetic needle group (n=10), magnetic needle+pressing group (n=10). Left and right semitendinosus muscles were taken as controls.METHODS: The in vitro toad's semitendinosus muscles (experimental side and control side) were treated with electrostimulation for 40 minutes,and then the resting potential of skeletal muscular cells were measured with the intracellular glass microelectrode technique. After the electrostimulation, filiform needle acupuncture, magnetic needle, magnetic needle plus pressing were also given.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The resting potentials were observed before exercise, after electrostimulation and other treatments in the groups.RESULTS: ① The resting potentials of skeletal muscular cells after electrostimulation were decreased as compared with those before electrostimulation [experimental side: (59.48±7.37), (84.54±5.72) mV; control side:(59.43±7.14), (83.62±5.86) mV]. ② After the treatments of acupuncture,magnetic lifting needle, magnetic lifting needle plus pressing, the decreased resting potentials after electrostimulation were obviously recovered (P < 0.01). ③ The recovered percentage of resting potential in the magnetic needle group was obviously smaller than those in the acupuncture group and magnetic needle+pressing group [(42.50±12.41)%, (53.71±10.93)%,(49.10±8.39)%, P < 0. 01].CONCLUSION: Acupuncture, magnetic lifting needle, magnetic lifting needle plus pressing plays a role in promoting the recovery of resting potential of skeletal muscular cells after long-term electrostimulation, and the effect of simple magnetic needle is smaller than that of acupuncture and magnetic needle plus pressing.

Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a highly curable malignancy for most patients. Frontline treatment is generally ABVD alone or combination with other chemotherapy regimens or radiation. However, the treatment of relapsed refractory HL (RR HL) remains a major challenge for clinicians. High dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation is the preferred treatment for chemoresistant patients. In addition, the combination of brentuximab vedotin (BV) with programmed cell death receptor 1 monoclonal antibody nivolumab, BV combined with ICE (ifosfamide, carboplatin, etoposide), panobinotast in combination with ICE and many other new drugs are in clinical trials and research. The latest progress in treatment of HL is reported in depth in the 58th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting.
