Chinese Journal of Practical Internal Medicine 2001;0(07):-
Objective To explore the relationship of leptin、 Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and other correlative factors with type 2 diabetic fatty liver. Methods From 2003-10 to 2004-01, we examined leptin、GSH-Px、 blood fat in the serum and BMI、FAT% in 23 cases of type 2 diabetic fatty live、30 cases of type 2 diabetic inpatients and 30 healthy people. Compare their level and analyse the correlation. Results (1)The TG、BMI、FAT% of type 2 diabetic fatty liver patients were significantly higher than that of the others groups. (2)Leptin and GSH-Px of each group had significant changes. Leptin was correlative with FAT% and age. GSH-Px was correlative with age and HDL. Conclusion (1)TG、 BMI and FAT% are important risky factors. (2)There are leptin resistance in type 2 diabetic fatty liver and type 2 diabetes patients and it is influenced by obesity and age. (3)The antioxidant enzyme in the serum of type 2 diabetes patients is reduced and is related with age and HDL.

Objective To evaluate the outcome of a new modality of operation—tensionfree vaginal tape (TVT) in treatment of female stress urinary incontinence. Methods Thirteen female patients suffering from stress urinary incontinence were treating with TVT operation.All the patients were confirmed to have stable bladder without outlet obstruction via clinical routine and urodynamic examination before operation.TVT tape of Prolene was implanted around mid-urethra via a minimal vaginal incision. Results The mean operation time was (38?7)min and the mean intraoperative bleeding was (45?10)ml.The mean catheterization time was 2 days and mean hospital stay was 4 days.No major bleeding was observed in operation.All patients were cured and the clinical symptoms disappeared after operation except for one patient with post-operative urine retention.This patient was catheterized for 2 weeks and the tape was cut under local anesthesia;then the urine retention disappeared and no incontinence relapsed. Conclusions TVT is a simple,reliable mini-invasive procedure with low incidence of complications.It can be used routinely for treating female stress urinary incontinence.

Objective To study the renal protective effects of ulinastatin in rats with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome(MODS). Methods Thirty-six Wistar rats were divided into 3 groups:control group ,model group and treatment group. The MODS models were produced by injecting lipopolysaccharide(LPS) through the sublingual vein into the rats. Ulinastatin was injected into the sublingual vein of the rats in treatment group, LPS was injected into rats in the same way after 10 minutes. On the second hour and the sixth hour after treatment, serum and renal tissue samples were collected from the rats to determine the level of TNF-?,IL-6, IL-1?, iNOS by RIA.The pathologic changes of renal tissue was examined. Results The levels of TNF-?,IL-6, IL-1?, iNOS of serum and renal tissue in treatment group were obviously lower than in model group (P

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of Wenyang Huoxue Recipe (WRHXR), a compound traditional Chinese herbal medicine for warming yang and promoting blood flow, on the expression of angiopoietin mRNA in rats with chronic aristolochic acid nephropathy induced by Caulis Aristolochia Manshuriensis (CAM) decoction, and to explore the protection mechanism of WYHXR against kidney damage. METHODS: Twenty-eight male SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group, CAM group and WYHXR-treated group. Rats in the normal control group (n=8) and CAM group (n=10) were intragastrically administered with normal saline 10 ml/(kg.d) or CAM decoction 10 ml/(kg.d) respectively. Rats in the WYHXR-treated group (n=10) were intragastrically administered with WYHXR 30 g/(kg.d) and CAM decoction 10 ml/(kg.d). The expressions of Ang-l and Ang-2 mRNAs were detected by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) after 20-week treatment. RESULTS: Compared with the normal control group, the expression of Ang-l mRNA was significantly decreased, and the expression of Ang-2 mRNA was significantly increased in the CAM group (P<0.01). Compared with the CAM group, the expression of Ang-l mRNA was increased in the WYHXR-treated group (P<0.01). The expression of Ang-2 mRNA had no significant difference between the CAM group and the WYHXR-treated group (P>0.05). Renal pathology showed that renal damage in WYHXR-treated group was significantly reduced as compared with the CAM group. CONCLUSION: WYHXR can up-regulate the expression of Ang-l mRNA, which may be its action mechanism in protecting the kidneys.

Objective To investigate the association between gene polymorphism of plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1)and ischemic cerebrovascular disease in aged people of Henan Han nationality.Methods A case control method was used,including 408 patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease and 418 age and gender matched healthy controls.Polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method was used to determine the distribution of allele and genotype frequencies of PAI-1 844G/A.Results In patient group,the gene frequencies of AA,AG,GG were 18.1%,41.4%,40.4%,and the A and G allele frequencies were 38.8% and 61.2%,respectively.In the control group,the gene frequencies of AA,AG,GG were 15.8%,47.4%,36.8%,and the A and G allele frequencies were 39.5% and 60.5%.There were no significant differences in the frequencies of genotypes and alleles between the two groups (P>0.05).The different genotypes of 844G/A of PAI-1 gene were not associated with hypertension,hyperglycemia,plasma homocysteic acid levels (P > 0.05).Conclusions PAI-1 gene-844G/A polymorphism may not be independent risk factor of ischemic cerebrovascular disease in aged people of Henan Han nationality.

Objective To explore the difference of autobiographical memory (AM) between depressive patients with and without alexithymia,and correlation between AM and alexithymia in depressive patients with alexithymia.Methods 29 depressive patients with alexithymia,34 depressive patients without alexithymia were enrolled.All patients were measured by autobiographical memory test (AMT),Toronto alexithymia scale-20 (TAS20),Hamilton depression scale-24 (HAMD-24).Results ①The negative overgeneral AM score was higher in depressive patients with alexithymia than those without alexithymia ((3.34± 1.80),(2.51 ± 1.12),respectively t=2.19,P<0.05).②The total overgeneral AM score was higher in depressive patients with alexithymia than those without alexithymia ((6.14±2.44),(4.86±2.06),respectively t=2.21,P<0.05).③)The correlation coefficient (r value) between the total score of overgeneral AM and total score of TAS,TAS-Ⅲ scores of TAS in depressive patients with alexithymia were significantly positively correlated (r=0.240~0.611,P<0.05).However,the correlation coefficient between the total score of specific AM and total score of TAS,TAS-Ⅲ scores of TAS in depressive patients with alexithymia were significantly negatively correlated(r=-0.502~-0.205,P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with depressive patients without alexithymia,the overgeneral AM in depressive patients with alexithymia is more severe,and the alexithymia can increase the severity of overgeneral AM.

Objective To evaluate the effect of propofol preconditioning on endoplasmic reticulum stress induced by hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) in HEPG2 cells.Methods HEPG2 cells were randomly divided into 4 groups using a random number table:control group (group C),propofol group (group P),H/R group and H/R + propofol preconditioning group (group PP).In group C,the cells were cultured routinely for 42 h.In group H/R,after being cultured routinely for 6 h,the cells were exposed to 1% O2 + 5% CO2 + 94% N2 for 12 h followed by 12 h reoxygenation.In group PP,the cells were cultured for 6 h in the culture medium containing propofol 10 μmol/L (final concentration),and then H/R was induced.The cell viability was detected by MTT assay.The expression of immunoglobulin heavy chain-binding protein (BIP),C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) and activated caspase-3 was determined by Western blot.The expression of BIP,CHOP and caspase-3 mRNA was determined by RT-PCR.Results Compared with group C,the cell viability was significantly decreased,and the expression of BIP,CHOP and activated caspase-3 protein and mRNA was up-regnlated in H/R and PP groups,and no significant changes were found in the parameters mentioned above in group P.Compared with group H/R,the cell viability was significantly increased,and the expression of BIP,CHOP and activated caspase-3 protein and mRNA was down-regulated in PP group.Conclusion Propofol preconditioning can promote the cell proliferation and attenuate H/R injury to HEPG2 cells through inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress.
