Objective To investigate the relationship between serum vitamin D level and prognosis in patients with acute cerebral infarction. Methods One hundred patients with acute cerebral infarction within 48 h and 60 healthy subjects were selected. The serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D level was measured. The patients with acute cerebral infarction were divided into vitamin D sufficient group, vitamin D insufficient group and vitamin D deficiency group according to the serum 25- hydroxy- vitamin D level. The National Institutes of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) before treatment and 14 d after treatment was evaluated, and this result reflected short- term prognosis; the long- term prognosis was evaluated by modified Rankin scale (mRS) 3 months after treatment. Results The serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D level in patients with acute cerebral infarction was significantly lower than that in healthy subjects:(14.21 ± 0.98)μg/L vs. (22.43 ± 1.01)μg/L, and there was statistical difference (t=3.95, P=0.012). The patients with acute cerebral infarction were divided into 3 groups according to the serum 25- hydroxy-vitamin D level:vitamin D sufficient group (19 cases), vitamin D insufficient group (28 cases) and vitamin D deficiency group (53 cases). The NIHSS before treatment and 14 d after treatment in vitamin D sufficient group was significantly lower than that in vitamin D insufficient group and vitamin D deficiency group: (7.03 ± 1.82) scores vs. (10.21 ± 2.03) and (14.35 ± 2.96) scores, (2.04 ± 1.86) scores vs. (5.21 ± 2.28) and (10.38 ± 2.34) scores, and that in vitamin D insufficient group was significantly lower than that in vitamin D deficiency group, and there were statistical differences (P<0.01). The Pearson correlation analysis result showed that the serum 25- hydroxy- vitamin D level was negatively correlated with NIHSS scores (r = -1.738, P = 0.031). The short- term total effective rate in vitamin D sufficient group was significantly higher than that in vitamin D insufficient group and vitamin D deficiency group:17/19 vs. 67.9% (19/28) and 47.2% (25/53), and that in vitamin D insufficient group was significantly higher than that in vitamin D deficiency group, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). The long- term good prognosis rate in vitamin D sufficient group was significantly higher than that in vitamin D insufficient group and vitamin D deficiency group:18/19 vs. 75.0%(21/28) and 50.9%(27/53), and that in vitamin D insufficient group was significantly higher than that in vitamin D deficiency group, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). Conclusions The serum vitamin D level is significantly decreased in patients with acute cerebral infarction. It is negatively correlated with NIHSS scores. And it is important to judge prognosis.

Pd nanoparticles (Pd NPs) were electrodeposited on the glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Then, Pd NPs/GCE was further inserted into H2 SO4 solution to polarize for 5 min to absorb a certain amount of active hydrogen. Then, the electrode was quickly inserted to HAuCl4 solution for 15 min. AuNPs were deposited spontaneously on the surface of Pd NPs due to the reduction of active hydrogen. As a result, Pd-AuNPs were modified on the surface of GCE. Next, aptamer I of thrombin was immobilized on Pd-Au nanoparticles. In the presence of thrombin, it bound with the aptamer immobilized on Pd-Au nanoparticles and thus the formed complex obstructed the catalysis of Pd-Au nanoparticles to H2 O2 . Hence, the reduction current of H2 O2 decreased with the increase of thrombin concentration. The aptamer sensor had a good linear relationship with the concentration of thrombin in the range of 2. 98-297 nmol/L with a detection limit of 0. 98 nmol/L.

Objective To investigate the effects of taurine on rats with CCl4-induced portal hypertension; To discuss its mechanism of action. Methods CCl4 compound method was used to prepare portal hypertension rat models. Experimental rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, positive medicine group and low-, medium- and high-dose taurine groups. Each medication group was given relevant medicine for gavage. After four-week treatment, biochemical analyzer was used to detect the contents of ALT, AST and TBIL;ELISA was used to detect the contents of CⅣ, PCⅢ, LN, HA and the level of HYP in serum;hemodynamic method was used to detect PVP, PVF, MAP and HR;nitrate reduction method was used to detect the contents of NO, chemical colorimetry was used to detect the activity of eNOS, hepatic tissue;the activity of SOD, GSH-Px and the content of MDA in hepatic tissue;HE staining was used to observe the histopathological changes of the hepatic tissue. Results Compared with the model group, the contents of ALT, AST and TBIL in serum in medium-and high-dose taurine groups decreased significantly (P<0.05, P<0.01);the contents of CⅣ, PCⅢ, HA and HYP in serum in medium-and high-dose taurine groups decreased significantly, and LN in high-dose taurine group decreased significantly (P<0.05, P<0.01);the PVP, PVF in medium- and high-dose taurine groups and the HR in high-dose taurine group decreased significantly (P<0.01), and the MAP in high-dose taurine group inecreased significantly (P<0.05); the content of NO in hepatic tissue of medium-and high-dose taurine groups increased significantly (P<0.05, P<0.01);the activity of eNOS and the content of cGMP in high-dose taurine group increased significantly (P<0.05); the activity of SOD, GSH-Px in hepatic tissue of medium- and high-dose taurine groups increased significantly and the content of MDA decreased significantly (P<0.05, P<0.01);the hepatic tissue histopath-ological changes of low-, medium-and high-dose taurine groups were significantly improved, especially the high-dose taurine group. Conclusion Taurine has inhibitory effects on rats with portal hypertension, which perhaps are related to its effects on enzyme activity inhibition and hepatic tissue protection, inhibiting the damage of oxidative stress, upregulating eNOS expression, enhancing the content of NO and improving liver function.
