Objective To find a indicator in urine to assist diagnosis of cerebral infarction,we investigated the changes of urine ferritin in patients with cerebral infarction.Methods Collected serum from 30 healthy volunteers and 53 patients with cerebral infarction(CI),with ratio of males to females 19∶11 vs.30∶ 23,and average age was (56 ± 11) vs.(63 ± 11) respectively.Collected urine from 39 heathy volunteers and 33 patients with CI,with ratio of males to females 25∶14 vs.20∶ 13,and average age was (57 ± 10) vs.(64 ± 11) respectively.Ferritin concentration in all samples was detected with the chemical luminescence method,and the urine ferritin/urine cretinin (uFer/uCr) ratio was calculated.Differences of serum ferritin and uFer/uCr between healthy volunteers and CI patients were analyzed with the statistical software under Wilcoxon test.Urinary proteins were extracted with absolute ethanol.The extracted ferritin was displayed with Western blot for light chains and heavy chains to investigate the difference between healthy volunteers and CI patients.Results uFer/uCr was higher than that from healthy volunteers (U =292.00,P ＜0.05),and the median was (14.86 vs.6.22) μg/g.Moreover,after extraction of urinary proteins with alcohol,both light chains and heavy chains of ferritin in urine from CI patients were much more obvious than that from healthy volunteers.Conclusion The uFer/uCr ratio could provide a new proof to assist the diagnosis of cerebral infarction.

Objective To compare the results of three methods for measuring C reaction protein.Methods 100 patients were collected from our hospital,and three different methods for measuring C reaction protein were used to analyze the level of C reaction protein.Results Correlation analysis showed that the correlation between immunoturbidimetric assay and immunochromatography was higher.The differences of three methods assayed the C reaction protein were significant (P <0.05 )among normal people by the variance analysis,but had not statistical significance among abnormal people (P >0.05).The differences among all of test peo-ple were significant(P <0.05).Conclusion Detection of C reaction protein was important for diagnose inflammatory diseases.

Objective To explore clinical characteristics of Chinese patients with lupus erythematosus (LE).Methods Data were obtained from the Lupus Erythematosus Multicenter Case-control Study in Chinese populations (LEMCSC).A unified standard was used to recruit patients and collect clinical information.The EpiData 3.1 and SPSS 18 softwares were utilized to input and analyze data respectively.Results One thousand and six patients (87.6％ female) with lupus erythematosus (LE) were included in this analysis,of whom,887 (89.9％ female) had systemic LE (SLE),and 119 (70.6％ female) had isolated cutaneous LE (CLE).The most common involved system in SLE patients was skin (72.7％),followed by joints (69.2％),hematological system (60.8％),kidney (48.5％),serosa (18.2％),and nervous system (5.7％).The appearance of LE-specific skin manifestations was associated with an increased risk of arthritis (odds ratio [OR] =1.612,95％ confidence interval [CI]:1.181-2.200),but with a decreased risk of nephritis (OR =0.218,95％ CI:0.157-0.303) and serositis (OR =0.311,95％ CI:0.218-0.443).The presence of acute CLE (ACLE) lesions was a risk factor for systemic involvement (OR =4.931,95％ CI:3.232-7.524),while that of chronic CLE (CCLE) lesions was a protective factor for systemic involvement (OR =0.355,95％ CI:0.234-0.541).The appearance of LE-nonspecific skin manifestations was closely correlated with the involvement of internal organs in patients with LE.Conclusion This study revealed main characteristics of LE patients in China and the relationship between LE-related skin lesions and internal organ involvement.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of different therapeutic methods on borderline hypertension with metabolic syndrome patients. MethodsNinety borderline hypertension with metabolic syndrome patients were divided into three groups by random digits table with 30 cases: control group,conventional therapy group and intensive therapy group. The control group was given regular observation, the conventional therapy group took drug according to the disease situation; and the intensive therapy group not only formulated the aim of therapy, but also received diet control, sport therapy, healthy education and drug therapy. After 1 year's follow-up, the patients' changes were compared. ResultsAfter 1 year's follow-up,the levels of FPG, 2 h PG, 24 h mAlb and IMT were significantly increased(P ＜ 0.05 ), and the levels of other index had no significant changes (P＞ 0.05) in control group. The levels of FPG,2 h PG,TC and TG were significantly decreased and IMT was significantly increased(P ＜0.05), the levels of other index had no significant changes(P ＞ 0.05 ) in conventional therapy group. The levels of SBP, DBP, PP, FPG, 2 h PG, TC,TG,hs-CRP,24 h mAlb and HOMA-IR were significantly decreased and HDL-C, ABI were significantly increased (P ＜ 0.01 or ＜ 0.05 ) in intensive therapy group. After treatment, the levels of ABI and H DL-C were significantly higher and SBP, DBP, PP,TG, hs-CRP, 24 h mAlb, HOMA-IR, IMT were significantly lower in intensive therapy group than those in conventional therapy group (P ＜ 0.01 or ＜ 0.05 ). ConclusionsDrug therapy is efficient in borderline hypertension with metabolic syndrome patients, and intensive therapy can obviously improve the insulin resistance, to control the developing of hypertension can delay the vascular

Objective To investigate the effectivity of bispectral index(BIS)and auditory -evoked potentials index(AEP index)in monitoring the depth of desflurane anesthesia in the elderly. Methods Sixty patients(ASA gradeⅠ～Ⅱ)without obvious auditory and psychiatric dysfunction undergoing general anesthesia were enrolled in this study,and they were devided into the elderly group (n=30)and the non-elderly group(n=30)according to the age.After the endotracheal intubation,the lungs were ventilated with desflurane in oxygen.End-tidal concentrations of desflurane were maintained at 0.6,1.0 minimum alveolar concentrations(MAC)and 1.3 MAC for 20 minutes, respectively.The changes of BIS,AEP index,mean arterial blood pressure(MAP)and heart rate (HR)were recorded simultaneously.Results In the elderly and non-elderly groups,BIS were 94.14?6.5 and 94.5?4.6(P＞0.05),and AEP index at pre-anesthesia were 87.2?11.7 and 89.2?6.9(P＞0.05)respectively,which showed no statistic difference between two groups.BIS and AEP index decreased significantly in each time point at pre-anesthesia compared with those during anesthesia in two groups (P＜0.05).In the periods of increasing concentration of desflurane,BIS decreased gradually in two groups(P＞0.05),but BIS in the elderly group were higher than in the non-elderly group at the same end-tidal desflurane concentration(P＞0.05),and BIS negatively correlated with the end-tidal desflurane concentration in two groups.In the elderly group,AEP index decreased significantly at the concentration of 1.0 MAC and 1.3 MAC of desflurane compared with that of 0.6 MAC(P＜0.05),but there was no difference in AEP index with increasing end-tidal desflurane concentration from 1.0 MAC to 1.3 MAC(P＞0.05).At every concentration of desflurane,AEPindexintheelderlygroupwaslessthaninthenon-elderlygroup(P＜0.05).Conclusions BIS and AEP indexes correlate well with the end-tidal desflurane concentration,and are valuable for monitoring the depth of desflurane anesthesia in the elderly.AEP index can predict the difference in depth of anesthesia at the same end-tidal desflurane concentration between the elderly and the non-elderly.

To establish induction and liquid culture system for hairy roots of Danshen (Salvia miltiorrhiza), Agrobacterium rhizogenes A4, LBA9402, 15834 as test bacterium were used to infect aseptic leaves of Danshen. The hairy roots were induced and positive transgenic hairy roots were selected with PCR using rolB and rolC as the target gene. Then hairy roots of S. miltiorrhiza were harvested and salvianolic acids were extracted with 70% methanol containing 1% formic acid. The content of salvianolic acid B (SalB) and rosmarinic acid (RA) were determined by HPLC. According to the above research results, the Danshen hairy roots induced by A. rhizogenes LBA9402 were inoculated into the following group of culture media: MSOH, MS, B5, and 6,7-V liquid media. Then the same methods of extraction and determination for the content of Danshen hairy roots were adopted. Last, the hairy roots of S. miltiorrhiza induced by A. rhizogenes LBA9402 were inoculated into the MSOH liquid media with different pH values. The content of salvianolic acid were extracted with 70% methanol containing 1% formic acid and determined by HPLC. As a result, three kinds of A. rhizogenes A4, LBA9402, 15834 could induce hairy roots and Ri plasmids were integrated into the genome of S. miltiorrhiza by PCR. Danshen hairy roots induced by A. rhizogenes LBA9402 and A4 produced much more salvianolic acid, which were (3.27 ± 0.37)% [including (1.04 ±0.36)% of RA and (2.22 ± 0.29)% of SalB] and (3.17 ± 0.20)% [including (0.92 ± 0.31)% of RA and (2.25 ± 0.26)% of SalB], respectively. Hairy roots induced by A. rhizogenes LBA9402 when they were cultured in MSOH liquid media produced much more salvianolic acid, which was (4.56 ± 0.36)%, including (1.12 ± 0.26)% of RA and (3.44 ± 0.23)% of SalB. Hairy roots induced by A. rhizogenes LBA9402 produced the most salvianolic acid when they were cultured in MSOH liquid media with the pH value 4.81, which was 4.85%, including 1.16% of RA and 3.69% of SalB. So Danshen hairy roots induced by A. rhizogenes LBA9402 and A4 produced much more salvianolic acid when they were cultured in MSOH liquid media with the pH value 4.81. The research had established the foundation on genetic engineering to improve the quality of S. miltiorrhiza.
