BACKGROUND: Diabetic glycometabolism disorder and lipoid metabolism disorder are often reciprocal causation, which cause the reduction of hepatic glycogen and the changes of many plasma factors. Hence, the occurrence of vascular complications in heart, kidney and brain is common. It becomes a hot topic in latest researches to find an effective medicine for the secondary prevention of diabetes.OBJECTIVE: To study the interventional effects of leizhusun' s juice on hepatic glycogen, plasma glucose and blood fat.DESIGN: A randomized and controlled observatory study by employing experimental animals as subjects.SETTING: Laboratory of Pharmacy College of Xianning College.MATERIALS: Totally 40 male Wistar rats with a bodymass of (230 ± 20) g were obtained from the Experimental Animal Center of Wuhan General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Area.METHODS: The diabetic rat model was established by the injection of Alloxan(200 mg/kg) into abdominal cavity in the laboratory of Pharmacy College of Xianning University between September 2002 and June 2003. Leizhusun' s juice(LZS) of different doses(205.70 mg/kg and 436. 40 mg/kg) was respectively perfused into the stomach for 28 days, and healthy rats were used as normal control. Levels of hepatic glycogen(HG) in liver and the factors in plasma were detected.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: HG, glucose(Glu), triacylglycerol (TG), non-esterified fatty acid(NEFA), total cholesterol(TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-c), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), and malondialdehyde(MDA) contents, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activitiesRESULTS: The level of Glu in LZS-Ⅱ group(436.40 mg/kg) was (9.65± 1.14) mmol/L, TG was(1. 31 ±0. 18) mmol/L, NEFA was(0. 51 ±0. 04)mmol/L, LDL-c was(0.79 ±0. 19) mmol/L, and MDA was(6.31 ±0. 83)nmol/L, which were significantly lower than Glu of (16. 14 ± 1.59) mmol/L,TG of(1.94 ±0. 31) mmol/L, NEFA of(0.59 ±0. 05) mmol/L, LDL-c of (1.34 ±0.28) mmol/L and MDA of(10.95 ±2.90) nmol/L in experimental control(Model) group( t= 3. 478 - 9. 379, P ＜ 0.01), while the HDL-c was (1.09±0.13) mmol/L, SOD was(39.76±6.23) NU/mL and HG was (6.70 ±0.62) mg/g in LZS-Ⅱ group, which were significantly higher than HDL-c of(0.55 ± 0. 11) mmol/L, SOD of (23.24 ± 3.35) NU/mL and HG of (4.06±1.24) mg/gin Model group( t = 5. 388 - 9. 000, P ＜0.01). Furthermore, the decreasing effect on LDL-c and increasing effect on SOD in both LZS groups had dose-dependence relationship( P ＜ 0.05 -0.01 ).CONCLUSION: LZS significantly decreases plasma Glu, TG, NEFA, LDL-c and MDA levels, but increases HDL-c, SOD and HG levels, which displays obvious antidibetic effects.

Objective To express, purify and identify tetrameric protein of methyl-CpG-binding domain in E. coli. Methods The recombinant plasmid 4 × MBD-pET30b + were transformed into E. coli DH5a for clonal expansion and sequenced, then the tetrameric-proteins were expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE_3) under the induction of IPTG. Moreover, the expression products were purified by Ni-NTA chromatography, and were determined by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. Immunostain 293T cells with the proteins were analyzed by fluorescence microscope. Results The sequence analysis showed orientation right and was identical with the expectation. SDS-PAGE and Western blot demonstrated that the molecular weight of the tetrameric- protein was 46 0110 with the N-terminal His-tag and the C-terminal HA-tag. The MBD proteins can bind to the intracellular CpG DNA specifically.Conclusions The tetrameric-proteins of methyl-CpG-binding domain are successfully expressed and purified in E. coli. This results establish a groundwork for the further researches on DNA methylation.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of large dosage of Methylprednisolone on epilespy combined with electrical status epilepticus during sleep(ESES) in children.Methods Forty-six epielpsy patients with ESES were treated with additive large dosage of Methylprednisolone.The seizures and video electroencephalogram discharges were observed before and after using Methylprednisolone.The Methylprednisolone effect in eliminating the methylprednisolone of ESES and controlling of clinical seizures and improving cognitive function were analyzed.Results Two cases were lost and 44 cases were included,male 30,female 14,the age at onset was (5.37 ±2.52) (2-9) years old.The duration of follow-up was (4.12 ± 2.00)(1-9) years old.The age at diagnosis of ESES was (8.17 ± 2.09) (4.0-12.5) years old.The efficacy of Methylprednisolone on seizures was 72.7％ (32/44 cases),while the efficacy of Methyl prednisolone on electroencephalograph (EEG) was 59.1％ (26/44 cases).For patients who were resistant to Levetiracetam or Clonazepam,Methylprednisolone was still effective.Intelligence quotient had no significant changes before and after treatment(P ＞ 0.05).The earlier onset age,the worse effect of Methylprednisolone.The efficacy of methylprednisolone for atypical benign epilepsy with cento-temporal spike(BECT) was higher than other syndromes.Conclusions Large dosage of Methyl prednisolone therapy for children with ESES,especially for those resistant to traditional or new antiepileptic drug for ESES,was effective and safe.The onset age and syndrome classification may have a certain value for prognosis and prediction of the effect of Methylprednisolone treatment.

Purpose To investigate the relationship between Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC) of the parotid gland and detect the gene expression products of EBV harbouring in LELC cells. Methods Thirty-two parotid LELCs were collected from the Departments of Pathology, Sun Yat-sen University of Medical Sciences, Guangzhou, China during the period of January 1986 and December 1995. All the 32 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded blocks had been consecutively re-sectioned again. Immunohistochemical and in situ nucleic acid hybridization methods for detection of EBV gene encoded products were performed. Results (1) 32 LELCs were found out of 125 parotid gland carcinomas, the frequency was 25.6% (32/125). (2) All of the 32 specimens contained a variable number of EBNA-1 and EBERs positive neoplastic cells. (3) Twenty-seven out of 32 specimens (27/32, 84.4%) had a portion of carcinoma cells expressing LMP-1. (4) No ZEBRA positive cell could be found. (5) EA-D, VCA and MA positivity rates for these 32 parotid LELCs reached to 71.9%(23/32), 68.8%(22/32), and 12.5%(4/32), respectively. Conclusions (1) The parotid gland LELC is frequently to be seen in Guangzhou locale of China, where is a high-incidence area of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). The parotid gland LELC and NPC are co-prevalent in Guangzhou locale. (2) This disease is also consistently associated with EBV infection. (3) The EBV infection of the parotid gland LELCs is essentially the type of latency Ⅱ, expressing EBNA-1, EBERs and LMP-1. (4) The latent infected EBV harbouring in LELC cells could in part be switched over to lytic cycle, producing EA-D, VCA or/and MA.
