Red blood cell sorbitol contents were determined with a enzymatic method in 37 diabetics and 19 controls. The fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels and RBC sorbitol contents in the diabetics were significantly higher than that in the controls. RBC sorbitol was positively correlated to FBG, but not to the age of the patients or the type and duration of diabetes mellitus. In 9 patients whose nerve conduction velocity was measured, RBG sorbitol content was negatively correlated with motor nerve conduction velocity of median nerve (r =-0.768, P

AIM: To evaluate the effect of flavored Siwu granules in the clinical adjuvant treatment for phlegm and blood stasis mutual junction retinal vein occlusion.
METHODS: Sixty patients (60 eyes) were randomly divided into treatment group and control group, both with retinal laser photocoagulation and intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide, but the treatment group used flavored siwu granules. Vision, fundus change, fundus fluorescein angiography, clinical syndrome of traditional Chinese medicine ( TCM ), hemorheology examination and safety assessment were evaluated before and 8wk after treatment.
RESULTS: At 8wk after treatment, there were differences on vision improvement, retinal circulation time, whole blood low shear viscosity and total efficient rate of clinical syndrome of TCM, compared with control group(P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION: Flavored siwu granules adjuvant for phlegm and blood stasis mutual junction retinal vein occlusion can improve visual acuity and reduce the eye complications.

Objective To study the effect of bird's nest nursing on the vital signs,gastroenteric function,body weight and growth of premature infants.Methods 456 cases of premature infants were divided into the warm box group and the bird's nest group randomly according to odd and even number of birth,namely 228 cases in each group.The warm box group adopted routine nursing care.The bird's nest group adopted routine nursing care and bird's nest nursing in the mean time,namely the bird's nest wag put into the warm box,the premature infants slept in the pre-heated bird's nest.The condition of the two groups Was compared.Results On the first day of birth,there were no statistical difference(P>0.05)between the two groups in respiration,heart rate,milk amount and body weight.On the seventh and fourteenth day,respiration and heart rate were stable and milk amount and body weight increased rapidly in bird's nest group.There Was statistical difference(P<0.05)between the two groups.In bird's nest group,the premature had long sleeping time and body temperature-fluctuation was reduced.There was statistical differencere(P<0.01)between the two groups.Conclusions After the bird's nest was used in premature care,diseases were recovered rapidly,hospitalization days were shortened and it was beneficial to the development of intelligence and body and mind of the premature infants.

Objective To raise the awareness of acute kidney injury (AKI) and improve the level of diagnosis.Methods All the hospitalized adult patients in the Affiliated People's Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from January 2012 to July 2013 were screened.Those patients diagnosed as AKI were retrospectively analyzed in terms of incidence,the rate of missed diagnosis,etiology,distribution and prognosis of AKI.Results (1) The incidence of AKI in the patients was 0.67% (381/56 835),the ratio of male to female was 1.91 ∶ 1,and the average age was (63.45±16.95) years.(2)There were 321 cases diagnosed as pre-renal AKI (84.25%),42 cases diagnosed as renal AKI (11.02%) and 18 cases diagnosed as post-renal AKI (4.72%).(3)There were 189 cases(49.61%) missed diagnosed among all the screened cases.The rates of missed diagnosis in neurosurgery,general surgery and cardiac surgery department was 62.96%,59.09% and 50.00%,in cardiology,respiratory and neurology department was 50.00%,50.00% and 45.45% respectively.(4) Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that hypertension [odds ratio(OR)=1.631],renal replacement therapy(RRT)(OR=23.256) and oliguria history (OR=1.936) were independent risk factors of missed AKI diagnosis.Conclusion The missed diagnosis rate of AKI is high and has certain characteristics in different departments.Hypertension,RRT and oliguria history are independent impact factors of missed AKI diagnosis.

In this study, we investigate the bioaccessibility of heavy metals (Cu, Pb, As, Cd and Hg) in wild Artemisia annua and use target hazard quotients (THQ) proposed by US Environmental Protection Agency to assess the health risk under the heavy metal exposure. The results showed that the bioaccessibility of Cu, Pb, As, Cd and Hg in A. annua are 0.77, 0.66, 0.46, 0.68 and 0, respectively, and that the value of THQ for adults and children were 0.030 and 0.025 calculated by risk assessment model. The results indicated that the heavy metals in A. annua were not able to be completely absorbed by human body and that their contents were in a safe range. In this study, by combining the bioavailability of heavy metal and health risk assessment, we assessed the security of heavy metals of wild A. annua, which will provide reference for the standard of heavy metals for medicinal materials.

AIMTo study the effect of hyaluronic acid chitosan-based microemulsion (HAC-ME) on the permeability of blood brain barrier( BBB) by using Evans blue (EB) as the indicator.
METHODSA formamide extraction-ultraviolet spectrophotometry method was employed to determine the concentrations of EB in each of the tissues. The in vivo distribution of HAC-ME groups containing EB in mice and the fluorescence intensity and diffusion domain of brain slices were all studied.
RESULTSContrasting to the common microemulsion (ME), HAC-ME at the lower concentration of HAC (<5 mg x mL(-1)) could further improve the transporting of EB across the BBB while EB concentration in other tissues decreased, and Tmax was delayed about 30 min.
CONCLUSIONHAC-ME could facilitate the transporting of EB across the BBB and it was concentration dependent. While the brain targeting absorptive capability of HAC-ME was enhanced.

To observe the effect of calycosin on the proliferation and activation of primary hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) in rats, and prove calycosin shows the effects through peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ(PPARγ) and farnesoid X receptor (FXR). The results indicated that calycosin could inhibit HSC proliferation and expressions of activation marker smooth muscle actin-α and type I collagen. With the increase in HSC activation time, FXR expression reduced, but with no notable impact from calycosin. Calycosin could up-regulate PPARγ expression and its nuclear transition in a concentration-dependent manner. Its prohibitory effect on HSC activation could be blocked by PPARγ antagonist. In conclusion, calycosin could inhibit HSC activation and proliferation, which may be related with the up-regulation of PPARγ signal pathway.
