Objective To discuss the correlation of serum TNFR level with renal function injury in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)and normal albumin excretion.Methods 90 T2DMpatients with normal albu-min excretion(24h urine albumin excretion rate <20μg/min)were divided into three groups according to the esti-mated glomerular filtration rate level:eGFR >90mL · min -1 · (1.72m2 )-1 ,eGFR 60 -90mL · min -1 · (1.72m2 )-1 and eGFR <60mL·min -1 ·(1.72m2 )-1 ,30 cases in each group.The serum TNFRs level and related clinical data were measured and analyzed statistically.Results The levels of serum TNFR1,TNFR2 were negatively correlated with eGFR(r =-0.428,-0.335,all P <0.05),and positively correlated with Scr(r =0.476,0.225,all P <0.05)in patients with T2DM and normal albumin excretion.The course of disease and the levels of BUN,Scr, CysC,α1 -MG,β2 -MG were increased as the degree of renal function injury.All these index had statistically signifi-cant differences in three groups(F =3.758,5.851,71.738,25.751,7.530,13.735,all P <0.05).Logistic regres-sion analysis showed that the levels of serum TNFR1,TNFR2 were independent risk factors for renal impairment in patients with T2DMand normal albumin excretion(OR =2.009,1.143,all P <0.05).Conclusion TNFRs may be involved in the development and progression of renal impairment,and may become a new conventional indicator for DN because of reflecting the degree of renal function injury in some extent in T2DMpatients with normal albumin excretion.

Objective]To investigate the effect of acupuncture-assisted anesthesia on cerebral state index(CSI) under the steady-state anesthesia of sevoflurane. [Methods] Fifty patients scheduled for elective knee arthroscopy operation were randomly divided into two groups with 25 in each. All patients were induced with sevoflurane, the end-tidal concentrations of sevoflurane in two groups were adjusted to 1.0 MAC and maintained for 15 min after tracheal intubation, acupuncture-assisted anesthesia was used on the affected side in group A, Yanglingquan(GB34) and Zusanli(ST36) were selected as the acupoints. The positive and negative electrodes of the electropuncture apparatus(G8650) were respectively connected with Yanglingquan(GB34) and Zusanli(ST36). People reccived transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation with condensation-rarefaction wave(2/15 Hz, 8~12mA) untill the end of operation, patiant's body types SBP, SDP, MAP, HR and CSI were recorded at lying still for 5 min(T1), steady state of sevoflurane(T2), acupuncture-assisted anesthesia after 20 and 30 min(T3, T4). [Results] SBP, DBP, MBP, HR and CSI at T3~T4 were significantly lower in group A than those in group B and T2(P<0.05). [Conclusion]Acupuncture-assisted anesthesia can reduce the CSI under the steady-state anesthesia of sevoflurane and lower blood pressure and heart rate at the same time.

The relationship of dose and effect in TCM formulae was an important subject in the TCM modernization research.Some characteristic properties of TCM dose-effect relationship were proposed in this paper: the dose-effect relationship of TCM had a specifi c regulation from the whole-view idea in traditional medical theories besides common properties,nonlinear character from the compatibility of medicine properties,and multi-effects varied with the different compatibility from the alternation of doses.The subjects of dose-effect relationship included single medicine,drug pair and formulae.The study on the dose-effect relationship of TCM might be helpful to the explanation of conception,connotation,ideas and methods of TCM,provide scientifi c supports and instructions for the TCM clinical practices,and provide research bases for the TCM innovation.

OBJECTIVE To explore kinetic features and its underlying mechanism of the positive inotropic effect of liguzinediol(LZDO)in rats. METHODS ①An In vivo study was made to record the effect of LZDO 20 mg · kg-1 injected for 30 consecutive min from the left external jugular vein on pressure-volume relationships. ②Ex vivo study was used to record the antagonistic effect of LZDO on reduced contractility induced by caffeine. Caffeine and LZDO were perfused as follows:normal perfusion solution, caffeine 0.5 mmol · L-1,and then caffeine 0.5 mmol · L-1+LZDO 100 μmol · L-1. ③ Ca2+ transient from cardiomyocyte sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) was measured to analyze the effect of LZDO on Ca2 +release blocked by thapsigargin. Thapsigargin and LZDO were perfused as follows:normal perfusion solution,thapsigargin 2 μmol · L-1,and then thapsigargin 2 μmol · L-1+LZDO 100 μmol · L-1.④The SR vesicles were prepared and the effect of LZDO(1,10 and 100μmol·L-1)on sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ATPase(SERCA2a)activity was determined according to the ultramicro-Ca2+-ATP enzyme kit. RESULTS ① LZDO 20 mg · kg- 1 significantly reduced the end-systolic volume (Ves) and enhanced the end-systolic pressure (Pes),stroke volume (SV),ejection fraction (EF),cardiac output(CO),peak rate of rise of left ventricular pressure(+dp/dtmax)and stroke work(SW)(P<0.05). However,LZDO 20 mg · kg-1 did not significantly change the heart rate(HR )or the end-diastolic volume (Ved). ② Caffeine 0.5 mmol · L- 1 significantly enhanced HR,left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP ),and+dp∶dtmax at 5 min after caffeine and decreased at 30 min. However,LZDO 100μmol·L-1 restored the reduced HR,LVDP,and+dp/dtmax induced by caffeine at 30 min(P<0.05).③Thapsigargin 2μmol·L-1 significantly reduced the SR Ca2+transient from perfusion solution group(100±5)%to(51± 5)%(P<0.05) and LZDO 100 μmol · L-1 failed to restore the decreased Ca2+ transient〔(49 ± 4)%〕. Normalized Ca2+transients were reduced by thapsigargin 2μmol·L-1 and thapsigargin 2μmol·L-1+LZDO 100 μmol · L-1. ④ LZDO(10 and 100 μmol · L-1)significantly increased the activities of SERCA2a in perfusion solution group 0.98±0.10 to 1.17±0.20 and (1.43±0.09)μmol Pi·g-1·h-1,respectively(P<0.05). CONCLUSION LZDO can enhance SR Ca2+ gradient by activating the SERCA2a and might be developed to serve as a potential positive inotropic agent in clinical settings.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect and underlying mechanism of promethazine(PMZ) on proarrhythmia in guinea pigs. METHODS ① InvivoECG recordings were made to analyze effects of jugular intravenous(iv)injection of PMZ on ECG in guinea pigs. PMZ was injected in this order:3.83→7.67→15.33→38.33 mg·kg-1 cumulatively. ② In vitroECG recordings were made to analyze effects of PMZ on ECG in isolated hearts of guinea pigs. PMZ was perfused in such order:0. 1 → 1 → 10 →50 μmol·L-1 . ③ L-type Ca2+ currents from ventricular myocytes in guinea pigs were recorded to investi-gate the PMZ's blocking effect. PMZ was perfused in such order:0.1→1→10→50 μmol·L-1→washout.④ hNav1.5 and hERG currents were recorded to investigate the PMZ's blocking effects. PMZ-perfused in such order:1→3→10→30 μmol·L-1 for hNav1.5 current analysis,and 0.3→1→3→10 μmol·L-1 for hERG current analysis. RESULTS ① PMZ(15.33 mg·kg-1 )significantly prolonged QRS intervals in guinea pigs invivoECG(P﹤0.05). PMZ(38.33 mg·kg-1 )prolonged QRS,QTc,and P-R intervals but reduced the heart rate( P﹤0.05). PMZ(10 μmol·L-1 )reduced the heart rate of isolated guinea pig hearts. PMZ 50 μmol·L-1 prolonged QRS and QTc intervals and further reduced the heart rate(P﹤0.05).③ PMZ inhibited the L-type Ca2+ current from ventricular myocytes in guinea pigs in a concentration-dependent manner with the lC50 of(8.9±1.0)μmol·L-1 . ④ PMZ inhibited the hNav1.5 and hERG currents in a concentration-dependent manner with the lC50 of 6.1±1.5 and(1.6±0.2)μmol·L-1 ,respectively. CONCLUSION PMZ might cause arrhythmia at overdoses and incombination with other drugs which have potential blocking effect on /Na ,Ca2+ and /kr currents. The proarrhythmic effect of PMZ might be mediated by the blocking effect on /Na ,Ca2+ and /kr currents.

BACKGROUND: The rudiment of tissue engineering is to obtain tissue from patients. The cells are expanded into a population through cellular culture, and seeded into scaffolds, which can accommodate and guide the growth and proliferation of new cells in the three-dimensional scaffolds. At last, the constructed tissue is transplanted in vivo to repair or replace damaged or diseased tissues. Afterward neovascularization of the graft, the scaffolds are absorbed gradually. Finally, the new tissue replaces completely the damaged or diseased tissuesOBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility of designing and fabricating customized anatomical-shaped bone tissue-engineering scaffolds with reverse engineering and rapid prototyping (RP) techniques.
