Objective To observe the effect of intravenous small dose of ketamine combined with continuous infusion of propofol and sufentanyl in painless gastroscopy.Methods 62 patients undergoing painless gastroscopy under intravenous anesthesia were randomly divided into the control group and ketamine group with 31 cases in each group. The cases of the control group were treated with continuous infusion of propofol (target controlled infusion rate: 3.0 μg/ml) and sufentanyl (loading dose: 0.15 μg/kg, basal rate 0.15 μg/kg/h); those of the ketamine group were treated with intravenous small dose of ketamine 0.5 mg/kg combined with continuous infusion of propofol (target controlled infusion rate: 3.0 μg/ml) and sufentanyl (loading dose: 0.1 μg/kg, basal rate 0.1 μg/kg/h). The procedure of gastroscopy was started when patients were in unconsciousness and their vital signs were stable, and the infusion of medicine was stopped when the gastroscopy was finished. The systolic blood pressure (SBP) and heart rate (HR) at the time of before anesthesia, 1 minute after anesthesia, inserting the gastroscope, 10 minutes after inserting the gastroscope, and recovering from the anesthesia were recorded. The cases needing special respiratory management (SRM), displaying body movement (BM) in gastroscopy and post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) were recorded. The recovery time (RT) after gastroscopy was also recorded.Results No significant difference was found in SBP, HR, BM, PONV and RT between two groups ( P>0.05). Eight cases in the control group and one case in the ketamine group needed SRM before inserting the gastroscope due to transient respiratory depression ( P<0.01).Conclusion The application of intravenous small dose of ketamine combined with continuous infusion of propofol and sufentanyl in painless gastroscopy is effective and safe.

Leptin,a polypeptide hormone coded by Ob-gene,has the functions of depressing appetite,reducing caloric intake and enhancing caloric consumption,etc.Leptin has a close relationship with kidney,for it is metabolized and eliminated via kidney.Meanwhile,leptin can also directly affect kidney functions,influencing the process of chronic renal failure.Furthermore,hyper-leptinemia is associated with anorexia,malnutrition and cardiovascular diseases.Different dialysis patterns may also play different roles in cleaning leptin.For example,common dialysis could not clear leptin,but other dialysis modes such as high permeability dialysis,hemodiafiltration,and mastic absorption hemoperfusion can alleviate hyper-leptinemia through cleaning leptin partly.For kidney transplantation patients,hyper-leptinemia may affect the immune balance which has been maintained for a long time.

Objective To investigate the effects of high concentrations of iodide exposure on mitochondrial superoxide production,cell viability and cell damage in the thyroid of metallothionein Ⅰ/Ⅱ knockout (MT-Ⅰ/Ⅱ KO) mice and corresponding wild type (WT) mice.Methods Thyroid cell suspension of six to eight weeks old healthy male MT-Ⅰ/Ⅱ KO mice and WT mice were prepared.The thyroid cells were treated with high concentrations (10-4,10-3,10-2 mol/L) of potassium iodide(KI),or 10-3 mol/L hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) for 2 hours,respectively.Cell viability was evaluated with methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT) assay.Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level in cell culture medium was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Mitochondrial superoxide production in the thyroid cells was measured by flow cytometry using a fluorescent probe,mitochondrial superoxide(MitoSOX).Results Compared to the control group[(100.00 ± 0.00)％,(100.00 ± 0.00)％],the cell viability of 10-4,10-3,10-2 mol/L KI and 10-3 mol/L H2O2 exposure groups were significantly decreased in the thyroid cells of both WT [(73.63 ± 2.05)％,(72.41 ± 2.26)％,(69.63 ± 2.29)％,(44.90 ± 2.93)％] and MT-Ⅰ/Ⅱ KO mice[(65.40 ± 2.39)％,(64.51 ± 2.27)％,(61.48 ± 2.33)％,(40.80 ± 2.76)％,all P＜ 0.05].Compared to the control group [(1 995.28 ± 30.52),(2 004.96 ± 19.71)U/L],significantly increased LDH activities were detected in the thyroid cells of WT [(2 809.22 ± 156.53),(2 850.80 ± 137.83),(2 920.45 ± 152.92),(4 487.49 ± 130.67)U/L] and MT-Ⅰ / Ⅱ KO mice [(3 261.06 ± 120.44),(3 474.19 ± 142.15),(3 597.08 ± 150.86),(4 706.64 ± 148.57)U/L,all P ＜ 0.05].Compared to the control group (26.49 ± 7.66,37.11 ± 8.48),the MitoSOX red fluorescence intensities of 10-2 mol/L KI and 10-3 mol/L H2O2 groups were significantly increased in WT mice(58.96 ± 5.11,87.95 ± 4.25) and MT-Ⅰ/ⅡKO mice(71.21 ± 5.55,99.76 ± 4.42) by flow cytometry (all P ＜ 0.05).Compared to the thyroid cells in WT mice,significantly decreased cell viability (all P ＜ 0.05),significantly increased LDH activity(all P ＜ 0.05) and significantly increased MitoSOX red fluorescence intensity by flow cytometry (all P ＜ 0.05) were detected in the thyroid cells of MT-Ⅰ/Ⅱ KO mice following treatment with KI or H2O2.Conclusions High concentrations of iodide (10-2 mol/L) and 10-3 mol/L H2O2 may lead to significant increase of mitochondrial superoxide production and LDH activity,decrease of cell viability in both WT and MT-Ⅰ / Ⅱ KO mice.More significant increase of superoxide production is detected in MT-Ⅰ / Ⅱ KO mice,indicating the potential protective role of metallothionein in the thyroid cells of WT mice.

Objective To investigate the peroxide effects of iodide excess on mitochondria in Fischer rat thyroid cell line(FRTL) in the early period.Methods After treatment with 0.0 mmol/L(control group) or 0.1 mmol/L potassium iodide(KI) for 2,4 and 24 h,respectively,changes of mitochondrial superoxide formation were assayed by flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy using mitochondria-targeted hydroethidine(MitoSOX).The cytochrome c (cyt c) released from mitochondria to cytoplasm was detected by immunocytochemistry.The lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) released into supernatant was measured by a LDH kit using colorimetry.The percent of dead cells was assayed by flow cytometry using propidium iodide (PI).DNA with loading buffer was separated in 1％ agarose gel.Results Mitochondrial superoxide production in FRTL cells treated with 0.1 mmol/L KI was increased at 2; 4 and 24 h,especially at 2 h.The rates of cyc c protein immunity positive cells at 2,4 and 24 h in 0.1 mmol/L KI group were (35.3 ± 3.6)％,(45.8 ± 5.5)％ and (30.3 ± 6.1)％,respectively,which were significantly higher than that in control group[(14.8 ± 1.2)％,all P ＜ 0.05].The LDHs released into supernatant at 2,4 and 24 h in 0.1 mmol/L KI group were (1.85 ± 0.32),(6.63 ± 0.42) and (8.35 ± 0.34)U/mg,and these values at 4 and 24 h in 0.1 mmol/L KI group were significantly higher than that of control group[(0.89 ± 0.04)U/mg,all P ＜ 0.05].After incubation with 0.1 mmol/L KI for 2,4 and 24 h,the percentages of dead FRTL cells were 7.52％,9.29％ and 13.71％,respectively,while that of control group was 4.66％.After FRTL cells were treated with 0.1 mmol/L KI for 24 h,DNA ladder appeared.Conclusion Iodide excess (0.1 mmol/L) can cause mitochondrial peroxide injury in FRTL cells at 2 h and cell apoptosis at 24 h.

OBJECTIVE:To study the new formula of effective components in TCM for anti-allergic rhinitis (AR),and pro-vide reference for developing TCM preparations for anti-AR. METHODS:Using pseudoephedrine hydrochloride (0-13.5 mg/kg), total alkaloid extracts of Aconitum carmichaelii (0-21.18 mg/kg),volatile oil of asari radix (0-0.0092 mL/kg) in Mahuang Fuzi Xixin decoction as formula objects,uniform design method was used for drug grouping,and multiple regression analysis was con-ducted for the behavioral scores before and after administration,contents of histamine and immunoglobulin E (IgE) in serum of AR guinea pigs to obtain the best formula. Using Xinqin granule,Loratadine tablet,Mahuang Fuzi Xixin decoction respectively as positive control,efficacy of the best formula was verified from aspects of behavioral scores before and after administration,con-tents of histamine and IgE of AR guinea pigs. And the safety of the best formula was preliminarily observed through acute toxicity test in mice. RESULTS:The best formula was as follow as pseudoephedrine hydrochloride 11.25 mg/kg,total alkaloid extracts of A. carmichaelii 21.18 mg/kg,volatile oil of asari radix 0.0045 mL/kg. Compared with each positive drug group,there were no sig-nificant differences in behavioral scores before and after administration in the best formula group(P>0.05). While compared with Xinqin granule group and Mahuang Fuzi Xixin decoction group,histamine content in serum in the best formula group was signifi-cantly reduced (P<0.05);compared with Xinqin granule and Loratadine tablet group,IgE content in serum in the best formula group was significant decreased (P<0.05). Median lethal dose of the best formula was 1822.04 mg/kg. CONCLUSIONS:The screened best formula shows better effect than Xinqin granule and Mahuang Fuzi Xixin decoction in terms of reducing histamine content in serum,better than Loratadine tablet and Xinqin granule in terms of reducing IgE content in serum,with good safety, which indicates the feasibility of TCM effective component formula to a certain degree.

Aim To observe the effect and primary mechanism of arctigenin ( ARG) in C6 rat glioma. At the same time, to investigate the effect of ARG com-bined with temozolomide. Methods C6 glioma rat model was established, and 90 rats were divided into six groups, which were subcutaneously administered with model, low and high ARG (0. 05 and 0. 1 mg· kg-1 , sc) , temozolomide (20 mg·kg-1 , p. o. ) , low ARG combined with temozolomide(TMZ / ARG 0. 05) and high ARG combined with temozolomide ( TMZ /ARG 0. 1 ) . The tumor specimens of brain were col-lected after tumor graft. Proliferating cell nuclear anti-gen ( PCNA ) , glial fibrillary acidic protein ( GFAP ) and CD40 in tumor specimens were determined by im-munohistochemistry. Results ① Compared with the model group, the tumor sizes of rats in the arctigenin treatment groups were decreased ( P<0. 05 ) . ②ARG
significantly decreased PCNA and CD40 expression ( P<0. 05 ) and increased GFAP expression ( P<0. 05 ) .③ Compared with model group, arctigenin combined with temozolomide decreased the tumor sizes ( P <0. 01 ) , and the tumor inhibition rate was higher than that of the arctigenin and temozolomide. At the same time, arctigenin combined with temozolomide de-creased PCNA and CD40 expression ( P <0. 01 ) and increased GFAP expression ( P <0. 05 ) , which was better than arctigenin and temozolomide. Conclusion Arctigenin inhibits rat glioma growth, and synergizes with temozolomide, which may be associated with in-hibiting PCNA and CD40 expression and strengthening GFAP expression.
