Objective To investigate the change of endocrine, cAMP and potential mechanism in asthenia cold syndrome rats. Method The rats were randomly divided into normal group and asthenia cold model group. The model group were treated with intramuscular injection of hydrocortisone for 14 days, and the normal group with NS. The content of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and adenylate cyclase (AC), triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), dopamine (rT3), cortisol (COR), cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) was detected by radioimmunoassay (RIA). The content of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) was detected by chemiluminescence. Result The content of T3, T4, rT3, COR, cAMP were decreased, the activity of AC was decreased, the conent of ATP was increased. Conclution The function of the endocrine system was suppressed in asthenia cold rats, which can down-regulate cAMP and lead to asthenia cold syndrome.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) pretreatment on lung agaillst LPS-indueed injury in rats.Methods Fifty-four Wistar rats of both sexes weighing 180-220 g were randomly idivided into 3 groups:group I normal control(group C,n=6);group Ⅱ LPS (group L,n=24)and group Ⅲ PDTC(group P,n=24).Endotoxemia was induced by intraperitoneal LPS 8 mg/kg in group Ⅱ and Ⅲ.In group Ⅲ PDTC 120 mg/kg was injected iv at 30 min before IP LPS.Venous blood samples were collected at 1,3,6 and 12 h after LPS administration in group L and P and after normal saline administration in group C for determination of serum IL-6 concentration by ELISA.Six animals were killed at each time point after blood sample collection.The lungs were removed for microscopic examination and determination of W/D lung weight ratio,HSP70 expression and NF-κB activity.Results Intraperitoneal LPS significantly increased serum IL-6 concentration and W/D lung weight ratio,HSP70 expression and NF-κB activity in group Ⅱ.PDTC pretreatment significantly attenuated LPS-induced increase in serum IL-6 concentration,W/D lung weight ratio andNF-κB activity.The lung histologic dalnage induced by LPS Wag also ameliorated by pretreatment with PDTC.Conclusion Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate pretreatment Can protect lung against LPS-induced injury through inhibition of activation of lung tissue NF-κB and up-regulation of expression of HSP70.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for promoting the development of related legislation work on ensuring pediatric drug use in China. METHODS:The legislation process of pediatric drug use in US,the effects of current Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act and Pediatric Research Equity Act on pediatric drug use in US were intrduced and analyzed,suggestions on guarantee-ing the accessibility and safety on pediatric drug use in China were put forward. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:The policy6-month period of pediatric exclusive protectionin Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act has motivated the enthusiasm of phar-maceutical companies developing pediatric studies,while it affects the marketing of generic drugs. Pediatric Research Equity Act has achieved remarkable effect in terms of ensuring the safety of pediatric drug use by forcing pharmaceutical companies to carry out pediatrics assessments,while there is no enough force for the marketed drugs that has not been widely used for children. En-couragement and enforcement are useful methods for promoting development of pediatric drug use. It is suggested to take measures like modifingone drug two formsin Prescription Management Regulations,accelerating approvals of related pediatric drugs on the premise that safety is guaranteed,implementing tax preference for related pharmaceutical companies that produced pediatric drugs,promoting the entry of drug reimbursement list and empowering CFDA to force pharmaceutical companies to implement pedi-atric studies to promote the accessibility and safety of pediatric drugs.

As a new interdisciplinary course, the current paper writing course for medical postgraduates exhibits certaln disadvantages. For example, the course does not well target the learners' needs because of the absence of the needs analysis before class;English or biomedical teachers fall to combine English with medicine, thus unable to provide ideal courses. As textbooks are an important means to improve the quality of the course, one way to reform the course is to compile high-quality textbooks by interdisciplinary talents. Meanwhile, the compiling process should be guided by needs analysis as well as the teaching and editing experiences. In addition, the textbooks need to be con-tinuously improved in teaching practice.

The language of English medical papers should be accurate, precise, clear and objective. Unfamiliar with these features and influenced by mother tongue, Chinese authors are prone to use unnecessary words, subjective expressions and long and confusing sentences, etc. To avoid those mistakes, they are suggested to practice a lot, keep a good reading habit and equip themselves with necessary searching skills, etc.

Objective To investigate the changes in concentrations of the homocysteine (Hey) and other aminothiols (ESRD) in plasma of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients before and after hemodialysis (HD). Methods 26 chronic renal failure patients treated with hemodialysis plus 54 healthy controls were randomly chosen. The concentrations of plasma total homocysteine (they), total cysteine ( tCys), total cysteinylg]ycine (tCysGly), total glutathione (tGSH) were determined by HPLC-fluorescence detection (FD). The concentrations of serum lipids were detected and several renal function tests were conducted. Results The concentrations of they ( 16. 70 ± 3.51 μmol/L vs 10. 95±3.07 μmol/L, t =3. 625,P <0. 01),tCys(341.87±70.65 μmoL/L vs 249.76 ± 13.18 μ mol/L,t =6.219,P <0.01), tCysGly(41.33 ± 32. 95 μmol/L vs 31.3 ± 11.78 μmol/L, t = 3. 530, P <0.01 ) in pre-hemodialysis plasma were significantly elevated , and tGSH ( 5.91 ± 0. 08 μmol/L vs 9. 33 ± 2. 62 μ mol/L, t =-5.404, P < 0. 01 ) was significantly decreased compared with the control group. The concentrations of tHey and tCys (11.74 ± 3.42 μmol/L and 272. 67 ± 64. 18 μmol/L) in post-hemodialyais plasma were significantly decreased compared with in pre-hemodiaIysis plasma, but they could not be restored to normal levels. However, the concentrations of tCysGly(41.33 ± 32. 95 μmol/L vs 44. 93 ± 13.88 μmol/L,t =-0.758, P>0.05) and tGSH (5.91±0.08 μmol/L vs 5.93±0.38 μmol/L,t = -0.068,P >0.05) in pre-hemodialysis plasma and post-hemodialysis plasma didn't change significantly. There were significant positive correlations between plasma levels of they and tCys(r =0. 458 2 ,P <0. 01 ). There was significant negative correlations between plasma levels of tHcy and tGSH ( r =-0.609 9, P=0.000 9). Nevertheless, tHcy levels were was not correlated with tCysGly levels and other serum lipid parameters. Conclusion There is a high prevalence of metabolic disturbance in Hcy and other related aminothiols in ESRD patients.

Objective To study the effect of cirrhosic liver on dynamic vascular curves analysis f(t)of hepatocellular carcinomas(HCCs) at contrast-enhanced ultrasound by exploring the difference between perfusion parameters of HCCs in cirrhotic liver and that in noncirrhotic liver. Methods One hundred and fifteen HCCs were analyzed off-line with dynamic vascular curve f(t) of Sonoliver. The HCCs were divided into 2 groups based on their background liver as cirrhotic liver group ( n = 86) and noncirrhotic liver group ( n =29). Such parameters as maximum of intensity(IMAX) ,rise time (RT,from 10% to 90% of IMAX),time to peak(TTP) ,mean trasit time(mTT) ,rise slope(RS) and washout time(WT) of the two groups were analyzed by statistics. Results There was no significant difference in the f(t) parameters of HCCs between cirrhotic liver group and noncirrhotic group(P >0. 05) [IMAX:(124. 25 ± 5. 56)% vs (113. 65 ± 5. 58)% ; RT: (12. 98 ± 0. 48)s vs (13. 68 ± 0. 92)s;TTP:(13. 70 ± 0. 52)s vs (14. 39 ± 0. 9)s;mTTi(138. 61 ± 9. 20)s vs (149. 49 ± 21. 70)s;RS:10. 11 ± 0. 60 vs 8. 89 ± 0. 77, WT: (34.17 ± 2. 91 )s vs (28. 36 ± 3. 25)s]. There was also no significant statistical difference in all above parameters in reference regions for the two group (P > 0. 05). Conclusions The f(t) parameters in HCCs can evaluate blood perfusion of the tumors, and cirrhotic liver does not affect the perfusion parameters of HCCs.
