Sleep plays an important role in the modulation of endocrine function and energy metabolism;hormone levels are markedly different during a sleepless night compared with a night of normal sleep.Sleep deprivation may change the levels of cortisol,growth hormone(GH)and thyrotropin(TSH)at night.In addition,sleep curtailment disturbs the balance of anorexi- genic(leptin)and orexigenic(ghrelin)factors,and does harmful to glucose tolerance.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of extracts ofLiaoxuan Kaxifu Powders (LE) on proliferation and transcription of IL-8 and ICAM-1 in HaCaT induced by TNF-α; To discuss its mechanism of action.Methods Cultured HaCaT was assigned into normal group, TNF-α group and low-, medium- and high-dose of LE group. Every group was induced by 40 ng/mL TNF-α except for normal group, and then LE groups were treated by different concentrations (8, 40, 200μg/mL) of LE for 48 h. The proliferation of HaCaT was evaluated by MTT and the apoptosis was detected by inverted fluorescence microscope. Levels of IL-8 and ICAM-1 in HaCaT were assessed by ELISA, and their mRNA expressions was detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR.Results Compared with normal group, the absorbency of HaCaT and the contents and mRNA expressions of IL-8 and ICAM-1 increased in TNF-α group (P<0.05,P<0.01); compared with TNF-α group, LE of all dose groups could significantly inhibit the absorbency, decrease the contents and mRNA expressions of IL-8 and ICAM-1 (P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion LE is able to inhibit the proliferation of HaCaT induced by TNF-α, and the mechanism is probably related to promoting apoptosis and down-regulating the gene expressions of IL-8 and ICAM-1, and then maintaining the normal level of HaCaT.

Objective To explore the characteristic and clinical meaning of myocardial bridge in patients with multi-slice spiral CT(MSCT) coronary angiography.Methods 875 patients with suspected or diagnosed coronary artery disease were studied with MSCT coronary angiography,579 cases were male and 296 cases were female,ranged from 30~87 years old in age with average of 60 years old.The heart was scanned with retrospectively ECG-gated,reconstruction from phase for all original tomographic source images at 30%~40% R-R phase interval according to heart rate ≥75 bpm and at 40%~50% R-R phase interval according to heart rate ≤75 bpm.The images of maximum intensity projection,multiplanar reconstruction and vulume reconstruction were gained to show left and right main coronary artery and their main branchs on mulliple angle.Results The myocardial bridges were detected in 89 cases,the positive rate was 10.2%,36 cases(40.5%)had different grade stenosis(≤50%).The myocardial bridges located at middle segment of anterior descending artery(79.8%),the thickness of myocardial bridge was 0.06~0.55 cm,the atherosclerosis plaques were found in 20 cases,the vascular stenosis was approximate to 50%.39 cases with simple myocardial bridges had angina,21 cases hadn’t angina.23 cases with myocardial bridges accompanied by coronary artery atherosclerosis had angina.Conclusion MSCT coronary angiography may clearly detect the myocardial bridge,which can provide more worthy information for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
