OBJECTIVETo observe the effects of mesenteric lymph drainage on erythrocyte rheology and blood viscosity in hemorrhagic shock rats.

METHODSWistar rats were randomly divided into sham-shock group, shock group (establishing hemorrhagic shock model), drainage group (establishing hemorrhagic shock model plus drainaging shock mesenteric lymph from hypotension 1 h). At 3 h of hypotension or corresponding time, blood samples were harvested from the abdominal aorta for determining the erythrocytic parameters, erythrocyte electrophoresis, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and blood viscosity, and the erythrocytes aggregation index and erythrocyte deformability index were calculated.

RESULTSCompared with the sham-shock group, the red cell contents, hematocrit (HCT), hemoglobin (Hb), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), erythrocyte electrophoretic rate and mobility, erythrocyte deformability index, whole blood viscosity, whole blood relative or reduced viscosity at low and high shear rates in shock group were observably lower, and mean corpuscular volume, electrophoretic time of erythrocyte, ESR, K value of equation and K value of emendation, erythrocytes aggregation index, plasma viscosity in shock group were increased markedly; the MCHC, erythrocyte electrophoretic rate and mobility, whole blood viscosity, whole blood relative viscosity at low and high shear rates in drainage group were reduced, and the red blood cell volume distribution width -SD (RDW-SD) was increased remarkably. At the same time, in drainage group, the HCT, RDW-SD, erythrocyte deformability index, whole blood viscosity and relative viscosity at low and high shear rates were higher, the ESR, K value of equation and K value of emendation, erythrocytes aggregation index, plasma viscosity were lower than that of shock group.

CONCLUSIONThe results indicate that the mesenteric lymph drainage could improve the erythrocyte rheological behavior, as a result, improve the hemorrheological properties in hemorrhagic shock rats.

AIMTo study the quantitative structure-activity relationship ( QSAR) of 23 tetrahydroimidazobenzodiazepinone (TIBO) as anti-HIV drug.

METHODSA newly developed three-dimensional holographic vector of atomic interaction field (3D-HoVAIF) was used to describe the chemical structure of anti-HIV drug-23 TIBO, a partial least square regression (PLS) model was built.

RESULTSThe obtained model with the cumulative multiple correlation coefficient (Rcum(2)), cumulative cross-validated (Qcum(2)) and standard error of estimation (SD) were Rcum(2) = 0. 824, Qcum(2) = 0.778 and SD = 0.56, respectively. The model had favorable estimation stability and good prediction capabilities.

CONCLUSIONSatisfactory results showed that 3D-HoVAIF with definite physic-chemical meanings and easy structural interpretation for structural characterization could preferably express information related to biological activity of TIBO.
