Journal of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2014;(5):712-715,719
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Xuebijing injection ( XI) for the treatment of septic myocardial injury, and to study the possible therapeutic mechanism. Methods Thirty-nine qualified septic myocardial injury patients were randomly divided into XI group (N=24) and control group (N=15) . Both groups were treated with conventional therapy, including anti-inflammation treatment, transfusion for resuscitation, nutritional support, symptomatic and supportive treatment, and supportive treatment for keeping vital organ function. XI group was given intravenous drip of XI based on the conventional therapy. Before and after treatment, the peripheral blood concentrations of myocardial-specific isoenzyme of creatine kinase (CK-MB), cardiac troponin I (cTnI), brain natriuretic peptide ( BNP) and plasma calcitonin ( PCT) were detected, and the changes of electro-cardiogram ( ECG) were also observed. The mortality within 28 days was compared between XI group and the control group. Results ( 1) After treatment, cTnI, BNP and PCT concentrations in XI group were decreased significantly as compared with the control group, and there was statistical significance (P <0.05) . However, the decrease of CK-MB was not obvious in XI group ( P>0.05 compared with the control group) . ( 2) The difference of ECG was insignificant between the two groups after treatment ( P>0.05) . ( 3) The 28-day mortality was 8.33% in XI group, and was 13.33% in the control group, the difference being insignificant between the two groups (P>0.05) . (4) During the treatment, none case had adverse reaction. Conclusion XI can improve the myocardial injury, and relieve inflammation of septic myocardial injury patients.

Objective:To evaluate the uncertainty in 6-methylthiopurine (6-MMP) determination by LC-MS/MS. Methods:The uncertainty sources during the whole process of 6-MMP determination were established and evaluated. The combined and expanded un-certainties were also calculated. Results:The expanded uncertainty at low (2 995 pmol) and high (140 900 pmol) concentration of 6-MMP was 275. 6 pmol and 11 396 pmol, respectively (P=95%, k=2). Conclusion: The uncertainty in 6-MMP determination by LC-MS/MS is mainly caused by recovery, matrix effect and sample preparation at low concentration, and by recovery and sample prep-aration at high concentration.

OBJECTIVE: To observe whether curcumin could inhibit the accumulation of the collagen IV and fibronectin in the glomeruli in nephrotoxi sera nephritis rats. METHODS: Seventy-two healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups, with 24 animals in each group. For normal control group, normal saline (0.5 ml/d) was injected through intra-caudal-vein for two days, and at the same time normal saline (0.5 ml/kg) was also daily administered intraperitoneally. For nephrotoxic sera nephritis group, nephrotoxic sera (0.5 ml/d) was injected through the tail vein for two days and dimethyl sulfoxide (0.5 ml/kg) was given intraperitoneally daily. For curcumin group, nephrotoxic sera was injected as above and meanwhile curcumin (50 mg.kg(-1).d(-1)) was administered intraperitoneally every day. Six rats in each group were killed on the 3rd, 7th, 14th and 28th day. Their renal tissue was fixed in 10% formalin for examining the expression of collagen IV and fibronectin. RESULTS: Minimal staining of collagen IV and fibronectin was detected in the basement membrane of normal control rats glomeruli. In the nephrotoxic sera nephritis rats and curcumin treated nephrotoxic sera nephritis rats, the accumulation of collagen IV and fibronectin was increased progressively, with significant difference in the accumulation of collagen IV (P<0.01) between these two groups at the same time points, while the significant difference in fibronectin accumulation (P<0.05) appeared only after the 7th days. CONCLUSION: Curcumin can reduce the accumulation of collagen IV and fibronectin in the glomeruli. Hence we postulated that curcumin might have beneficial effect for retarding glomerulosclerosis.
