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.

Objective To investigate the effect of Galangin of different purity on melanocyte proliferation and melanin synthesis of A375-HaCaT co-culture system. Methods The A375-HaCaT co-culture system was established with Transwell technology, and 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 5.0, 10 μg/mL Galangin of the purity of 70%and 90%was used to act on the co-culture system. Cell proliferation, melanin content and tyrosinase of A375 were measured by MTT assay, NaOH lysis assay and L-DOPA oxidation assay respectively. The cytokines such as ET-1 and SCF in HaCaT were detected by ELISA. Results A375 cells in co-culture system grew well, and 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 5.0, 10 μg/mL Galangin of the purity of 70% and 90% had up-regulation effect on cell proliferation, melanin content and tyrosinase of A375. Moreover, Galangin could increase the expression level of ET-1 and SCF of HaCaT at more than 0.5 μg/mL, and the effect of Galangin of 70% purity was better than 90% purity. Conclusion Galangin could promote the cell proliferation, melanin content and tyrosinase of A375, and mechanism of the pathways is probably related to the up-regulation on the expression of ET-1 and SCF of HaCaT.

Objective To investigate the corelation between neutropenia (ANC) incidence and infection during treatment with peginterferon alfa and ribavirin for chronic hepatitis C.Methods A retrospective cohort study of 399 patients treated with peginterferon and ribavirin derived from database of Department of Infectious Diseases, the Second Affiliated Hospital, Harbin Medical University was conducted.The incidence of infections and their relation with ANC were investigated.Potential risk factors for infection were identified by multivariate analysis.Results During treatment,neutropenia (ANC ＜ 1.50 ×109/L) occurred in 251 patients.Among which,mild neutropenia [ANC: ( ＞ 0.75-＜ 1.50) x 109/L],moderate neutropenia [ANC: ( 0.50-0.75 ) × 109/L]and severe neutropenia ( ANC ＜ 0.50 × 109/L)occurred in 132 patients,103 patients and 16 patients,respectively.A total of 80 infections (20.1％ )occurred,among which,14 infections were defined as severe.There was no significant difference in infection rate between patients with and without neutropenia ( 19.9％,50/251 vs 20.3％,50/251 ; x2 =0.007,P =0.933).There was no significant difference in infection rate between patients with and without peginterferon dose reduction ( 21.5％,31/144 vs 19.2％,49/255 ; x2 =0.307,P =0.580 ).In multivariate logistic regression analysis,the independent factors associated with infection were age (P =0.021),diabetes (P =0.004) and cirrhosis (P =0.012).Conclusions Infections during treatment with peginterferon alfa and ribavirin for chronic hepatitis C are irrelevant to neutropenia.The independent factors associated with infection are age,diabetes and cirrhosis.

Objective To study the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS) of the supplementary motor area(SMA)on the cortical excitability in patients with Parkinson's disease(PD).Methods Sixteen patients with PD were included in this study.The motor evoked potentials(MEP)and the N30 component of somatosensory evoked potentials(SEP) were assessed for each patient before and after 1200 pulses of rTMS of the SMA at 5 Hz and an intensity of 100% of relaxed motor threshold (RMT) for the abductor pollicis brevis.Results Ten minutes after the rTMS intervention,the peak-to-peak amplitude of the SEP component P20-N30 increased significantly(P<0.05),with the P/F index decreased simultaneously(P<0.05).The MEP amplitude increased significantly,and reached the highest value at 10min after the rTMS intervention. Conclusion 5 Hz rTMS of the SMA can improve the excitability of the SMA itself temporarily.Meanwhile,it can induce a short-lasting facilitation of the excitability of M1 connected with SMA.

Objective To investigate the relationship of compression area, time and weight as risky factors with local injury and systemic pathophysiological responses in rats so as to establish repeatable experimental model of crush syndrome. Methods A total of 144 male SD rats were divided into two groups, ie, mortality investigation group and biochemical indicator investigation group. Every group included the same 18 subgroups based on 18 kinds of combination with different levels of compression area (the right or both hind limbs), time (4, 6, 8 hours) and weight (2, 3, 4 kg). The circumference of the compressed hind limbs of all rats were measured and serum potassium (K+), serum creatine phosphokinase (CK), creatinine and carbamide were measured too before compression and three hours after decompression. Incidence of myoglobinuria of all rats was recorded. Muscles and kidneys were evaluated morphologically. Results The compressed hind limbs of all rats swelled significantly after three hours of reperfusion (P ＜ 0. 05). All serum K + , CK, CR and BUN were increased significantly with the increase and prolongation of the compression area, time and weight (P ＜ 0.05). Signs of direct cellular damage and ischemia-reperfusion injury were found in histology specimens of local compressed muscle.Hyperemia of glomeruli and renal tubule was found in the kidneys. Renal tubular necrosis and renal tubular cast were observed in group with compression weight ≥3 kg and compression duration ≥6 hours.Conclusions Increase and prolongation of the compression area, time and weight can aggravate the severity of crush injury. Compression area is more risky factor of severe crush injury. Both hind limbs ascompression area, compression weight ≥ 3 kg and compression duration ≥ 6 hours can be the effective experimental conditions for establishment of crush syndrome model in rats.

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.
