The effects and the mechanism of insulin treatment on intracellular lipid metabolism in liver of diabetic rats were evaluated. Type 2 diabetic rats were induced by injecting the streptozotocin (25 mg/kg) and fat rich food. According to the results of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and glucose-induced insulin secretion test (IRT), the rats were divided into two groups: untreated group (UT) and insulin-treated group (IT). Normal rats (NC) served as controls. The treatment with either Humulin N (4--6 U/kg every day), or saline lasted for 4 weeks. Body weight, OGTT, IRT, blood lipids, intracellular lipids in liver, hepatic fatty acid oxidation and the activity of fatty acid synthase (FAS) were detected. The change of liver histology was observed. The insulin sensitivity index (ISI) was applied to assess the status of insulin resistance. The results showed that as compared with NC group, the plasma and hepatic intracellular Triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC) and free fatty acids (FFAs) were increased significantly in UT group (P < 0.05), and lipid droplets could be seen dispersedly in the liver specimens, the hepatic fatty acid oxidation was increased markedly (P < 0.05), while the fatty acid synthase activity decreased (P < 0.05). Insulin treatment resulted in a further accumulation of lipids in liver by 55.7%, 19.87% and 22.2% increase in TG, TC, FFAs respectively. The size of hepatocytes was enlarged and the cells were filled with fat drops. Plasma lipids showed little decrease and still significantly higher than those in NC group after the insulin treatment. Meanwhile, insulin treatment was companied by 20% decrease in the rate of fatty acid oxidation and 31% increase in hepatic FAS activity compared to UT group. It was concluded that treatment with insulin on type 2 diabetic rat increases hepatic intracellular lipid accumulation by inhibiting hepatic fatty acid oxidation and activating FAS.

【Objective】To explore the role of cell cycle regulators in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) relapse.【Method】To assay p53,MDM2,p21ras and p21WAF1 proteins by LsAB immunohistochemical technique in 69 cases of primary and relapsing NPC tissues.【Results】As compared with primary NPC,the expression rate of p53 or MDM2 protein in relapsing NPC was similar (78% to 80%,84% to 83%),and the expression rate of p21ras or p21WAF1 protein in relapsing NPC was obviously descended (73% to 93%,52% to 84% );the high-expression rate of p53 protein in relapsing NPC was similar (42% to 51%),the high-expression rate of MDM2 protein in relapsing NPC was obviously risen (57% to 32%),and the high-expression rate of p21ras or p21WAF1 protein in relapsing NPC was obviously descended (16% to 65%,17% to 46%).Among of them,the significant rise of MDM2 protein expression level in relapsing NPC mainly occurred in the patients of group 2 which relapsing-interval was shorter than 34 months,P<0.05;the significant descent of p21ras or p21WAF1 protein expression level in relapsing NPC occurred in the patients of group 2 and group 1 which relapsing-interval was equal to or longer than 34 months,P<0.02,respectively.【Conclusions】The overexpression of p53 and MDM2 proteins and the low or negative expression of p21WAF1 protein after clinical cure might still play an important role in NPC relapse,the obvious rise of MDM2 protein level and the obvious descent of p21WAF1 protein level might further accelarate the process of NPC relapse.

BACKGROUND: Flash visual evoked potential(fVEP) can reflect the integrity of visual pathway from retina to pulvinar cortex. The utilization of its characters can accurately evaluate the injury situation of visual conduction pathway.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility and effects of fVEP on non-traumatic monitoring of intracranial pressure.DESIGN: A repeated measurement design based on patients.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 197 patients with brain injury including 138males and 59 females with an average of(38 ±9) years old were selected from the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University and Xuanwu Hospital Affiliated to Capital University of Medical Sciences. The selected diseases were: epidural hematoma( n=20),subdural hematoma(n = 26),cerebral contusion( n = 4),subdural hematoma companied with cerebral contusion( n = 92),and cerebral contusion companied with intracerebral hematoma( n = 55).METHODS: The level of intracranial pressure of 197 patients with brain trauma was detected with fVEP and epidural manometry. Data of traumatic surveillance were collected after the completion of fVEP. Changes of blood pressure and heart rate in patients were recorded simultaneously.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: fVEP results,and levels of intracranial pressure.RESULTS: The average intracranial pressure of 197 patients with brain trauma was(2.75 ± 0.64) kPa,( 1.54 - 4. 02 kPa) . The dispersion of both traumatic and non-traumatic surveillance was relatively big in patients with confirmed visual pathway injury. No typical wave was induced by fVEP in2.79% of patients. Scatter diagram suggested that the consistence between fVEP and epidural manometry was relatively good. Linear regression analysis showed that heart rate was the most sensitive one to the fluctuation of intracranial pressure (β = -0. 369) followed by systolic pressure (β= 0. 316),while diastolic pressure was not so sensitive (β = 0. 147). There was negative correlation between heart rate and intracranial pressure,which could quite sensitively reflect the fluctuation of intracranial pressure,systolic pressure was the next,and diastolic pressure was not easily to be affected by the changes of intracranial pressure.CONCLUSION: Non-traumatic surveillance,fVEP,has favorable consistence with traumatic detection,which can quantitatively evaluate the changes of intracranial pressure non-traumatically.

Objective To explore the effect of glucose regulated protein (GRP)78 on the neuronal apoptosis after cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury in rats. Methods Middle cerebral artery ischemia reperfusion rat's models were used with the modified filament method. The expression of GRP78 in the ischemic penumbra tissue was detected by RT-PCR, Western blot and immunohistochemistry at different time points. Primary cultured rat's neurons were exposed to hypoxia and subsequently reoxygenation. Western blot was used to investigate the expression of GRP78. The changes of the neuronal apoptosis after overexpression of GRP78 induced by 2-deoxyglucose were detected. Results The expression of GRP78 in the ischemic penumbra tissue in model group was significantly increased (mRNA : 0.7367±0.0651, F= 477.160, P < 0.01 ; Protein : 0. 8129±0. 0748, F=39.857, P < 0.01). The neuronal survival status was increased after overpression of GRP78 (increased by 39.22% ± 0. 44%, t=46.374, P < 0.01) while the neuronal apoptosis was decreased (decreased by 16.60±1.02, t=7.530, P <0.01). Conclusion Focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion can induce endoplasmic reticulum stress which plays a role in the neuronal apoptosis. The increased expression of GRP78 may protect the ischemic tissue from neuronal apoptosis.

OBJECTIVE:To compare the efficacy,safety,vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)and matrix metallopro-teinase-2 (MMP-2) of docetaxel combined with carboplatin and paclitaxel combined with cisplatin (DDP) in the treatment of ad-vanced ovarian cancer. METHODS:120 patients with advanced ovarian cancer were randomly divided into docetaxel combined with carboplatin group(60 cases)and paclitaxel combined with DDP group(60 cases). Docetaxel combined with carboplatin group received 70 mg/m2 Docetaxel injection,intravenous infusion of 1 h,d1;50 mg/m2 carboplatin injection,intravenous infusion of 1 h,d2. Paclitaxel combined with DDP group received 135 mg/m2 Paclitaxel injection,intravenous infusion of 24 h,d1;30 mg/m2 DDP for injection,intravenous infusion,d3;60 mg/m2 Paclitaxel injection (a maximum of 2.0 m2) by intraperitoneal infusion,d8. 3-week was regarded as 1 treatment course,and it lasted 6 courses. Clinical efficacy,VEGF,MMP-2,progression-free survival, overall survival before and after treatment,mortality rate within 2 years of treatment and the incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups were compared. RESULTS:There were no significant differences in the objective response rate,disease control rate,mortal-ity rate,incidence of adverse reactions between 2 groups(P>0.05). The progression-free survival in docetaxel combined with car-boplatin group was significantly longer than paclitaxel combined with DDP group,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Before treatment,there were no significant differences in VEGF and MMP-2 level between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treat-ment,VEGF and MMP-2 level in 2 groups were significantly lower than before,and VEGF at different time points and MMP-2 level after 4 weeks,8 weeks and 12 weeks of treatment in docetaxel combined with carboplatin group were lower than paclitaxel combined with DDP group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Docetaxel combined with car-boplatin and paclitaxel combined with DDP shows similar efficacy and safety in the treatment of advanced ovarian cancer,but docetaxel carboplatin combined with is superior to paclitaxel combined with DDP in reducing VEGF and MMP-2 and improving pro-gression-free survival.
