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 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 explore the preventive effects of simvastatin on ischemic-type biliary lesion (ITBL) after liver transplantation. Methods Totally 90 female SD rats,6 to 8 weeks old,weighing 200 to 250 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups,sham-operation group (n=10),control group (n=40,including 20 donors and 20 receipts),and experimental group (n=40,including 20 donors and 20 receipts). Rat liver transplantation was established by reconstructing hepatic artery. The rats of experimental group were fed with a normal chow containing 0.1% simvastatin for 1 week before operation and for 2 weeks after operation. The donor liver was stored in the University of Wisconsin solution at 4 ℃ for 12 h followed by transplantation. The animals were killed in 2 weeks after operation and the bile,bile duct and liver tissue were taken. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to detect the concentrations of bile salts. Biochemistry,histopathology,immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR were employed to measure the level of phospholipids C,observe the pathological changes of liver,detect the protein and mRNA expressions of phospholipid transfer protein (Mdr2 P-glycoprotein). Results The biliary phospholipid composition of rats in the experimental group (3.874 8?1.414 8 mg/dl) was significantly increased,compared with the sham-operation group (1.982 1?0.413 5 mg/dl) and the control group (1.428 5?0.538 7 mg/dl) (P

A comparative study on the cellular survival of grafts and the behavior improvement in the rats was performed following tissue transplantation of either fresh or freezing-stored adrenal medulla. The fresh or freezing-stored adrenal medullary tissues were transplanted into the head of caudate nucleus in the animal models with unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine lesions of the substantia nigra. Experimental groups got some improvement after operation in rotation behavior induced by apomorphine, and the differences were significant between experimental and control groups. Among the transplanted rats, those received fresh tissue seemed to show more improvement than those received freezing-stored tissue, but the statistical difference was not significant. With regard to fluorescent intensity of the adrenal cells, it showed to be stronger in the experimental group received fresh graft than the group received freezing-stored graft, but the difference was no statistically significant either. No essential difference could be found between experimental groups as to the cellular apperance and staining features in the grafts.
