Objective and Method: To study the influence of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitory peptides (ACEIP) on the expression of eNOS, iNOS, ET-1 mRNA in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells by semi-quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) method and then investigate its mechanism. Results: Campared with the control, the expression of ET-1 and iNOS was lower and the expression of eNOS was higer in different ACEIP groups. Conclusion: The antihyertensive function of ACEIP partly depended on the its effect to lessen the expression of ET-1,iNOS and induce the expression of eNOS in cultured human umbilical vascular endothelial cells.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy between single and double volume exchange transfusion for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia,and to verify whether single volume exchange transfusion had advantages in maintaining homeostasis and reducing blood transfusion related complications.Methods Clinical materials of 86 neonates with neonatal hyperbilirubinemia who received blood exchange transfusion,from December 2013 to December 2014,in the diagnosis and treatment center of our hospital were retrospectively analyzed.Cases were divided into the single volume group (35 cases,with a blood volume 80-110 mL/kg) and double volume group (51 cases,with a blood volume 150-180 mL/kg) based on blood volume per kilogram of body weight.Comparisons of the homeostasis changes between pre-transfusion and post-transfusion were performed for each group,and the incidence rate of major adverse events were compared between the two groups.Results (1)In the single volume group and double volume group,the average blood exchange transfusion volumes were (98.16 ± 10.75) mL/kg and (157.78 ± 7.37) mL/kg,the exchange rate of bilirubin were (41.68± 8.52) % and (50.22 ± 13.14) %,and the average time for blood transfusion were (85.60 ±18.66) min and(1 1B.22± 24.81)min respectively,and there were statistically significant differences in the exchange rate of bilirubin and average time for blood transfusion between the two groups (P<0.05).(2)Compared with pre-transfusion,WBC and platelet (PLT)count,levels of serum total bilirubin (TBIL),albumin,serum potassium,serum sodium,serum chlorine,serum calcium and HCO3-,and pH value were significantly decreased after blood exchange transfusion,while RBC count,PT,APTT and blood glucose were significantly increased in the two groups (P<0.01).Moreover,the changes of blood glucose,PLT and TBIL in the double volume group were more significantly than those in the single volume group,there were statistically significant differences (P<0.05).No statistically significant difference was found in the rate of major adverse events between the two groups (P>0.05).Conclusion Compared with double blood exchange transfusion therapy,single volume exchange transfusion can significantly decrease plasmic bilirubin level with less change of homeostasis,less blood volume for transfusion and less human resources consumption,its value in clinical application is recognized.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effects of Fructus Corni polysaccharides (FCP) on sexual function of hemicastrated rats.
METHOD70 male SD rats are randomly divided into 7 groups with their right testis extirpated except for normal control group. Normal control group and negative control group are given saline (ig) while positive control group are injected hypodermically testosterone propionate at dose of 2 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1). FCP control groups are given FCP separately at dose of 10, 50, 100, 150 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1) (ig). Mating test and erective test are observed. The levels of serum sex hormone T, LSH, FSH, E2 are detected with the Radioimmunoassay (RIA).
RESULTIncubation period of penis erection and mounting are shortened in FCP control groups and positive control group, and the percentage of mounting rats is increased. The level of serum sex hormone T is increased, but estradiol level is reduced. The organ coefficient of foreskin gland and seminal vesicle-prostate gland as well as sperm count and vigor are increased significantly (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONFCP can increase the sexual function of hemicastrated rats. The mechanism is probably through adjustment of the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis.
