ObjectiveTo synthesize metal complex that exhibits superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity and determine its structure.MethodsThis chemical compound was synthesized by means of reflux in laboratory.Its structure was examined by infrared spectra (IR),nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectra(H-NMR) and mass spectra (MS).The activity of the SOD was determine by xanthine oxidase (XOD).ResultsThe IR indicted that this complex showed a typical absorption band of -OH,C=N and benzene. The H-NMR reveals the existence of metal ion manganese (Mn3+ ,paramagnetic). The molecular weight was 365, which was obtained by EI-MS analysis. And this complex showed SOD-like activity.ConclusionA metal complex with low molecular weight and SOD-like activity has been synthesized.

Objective To study the protective effects of the compound with low molecular weight of anti free radical on brain ischemic and hypoxic injuries in rats.Methods The model of brain ischemic and hypoxic injuries in rats was established by unilateral carotid artery ligature just for 2 h. The compound was injected 30 minutes after the rats act on hypoxic state (10% O2+90%N2) for 1 h. Then the serum of rats was separated and the value of the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondiade (MDA) were determined, and the pathological changes were observed in brain tissue.Results Compared with rats in the model group, the compound decreased the concentrations of MDA in serum (P<0.05), and raised the level of SOD (P<0.05) significantly in therapy group. Otherwise, the pyramidal cells remained organized order, with only a few cells degenerated occasionally in rats of therapy group. Conclusion The compound has SOD like activity. It can scavenge the free radical and inhibit peroxidation of lipid, so it can prevent brain cells from the damage.

Objective To understand acute rejection differences between untreated recipients and rapmycin-treated recipients in a rat free flap allotransplantation model. Methods Brown groin free flaps were transplanted to Lewis recipients. In the treated group, recipients were treated with rapamycin at the dose of 4 mg/kg every day from day 0 to day 14 after transplantation. In the untreated group, recipients didn't receive any treatment. Allografts were evaluated clinically and histologically. Results Allografts in the treated group showed epidermolysis as sign of rejection.Rejection sign of untreated grafts was ischemic necrosis of whole skin. In histological evaluation, the treated grafts showed "band-like" lymphocytes infiltration in the upper dermis when rejection occurred, while the untreated grafts showed thrombosis in the subdermal vessels. Conclusion The differences between the two groups implied that embolization may be responsible for the rejection of free flap allotransplantation in rat model.

Objective To evaluate the value of CYRTA21-1,CEA and SPECT in diagnosis of bone metastasis in lung cancer.Methods 216 patients with lung cancer were examined by radionuclide bone imaging and serum CYFRA21-1,CEA.20 patients with benign lung disease were also studied.Results 121 of the 216 lung cancer patients were confirmed bone metastasis including 101 multi-metastasis and 20 singu- lar-metastasis. The positive rate was 56.02 %.The serum CYFR21-1,CEA level and positive rate of lung cancer patients with bone metastasis were obviously higher than those of patients without bone metastasis or with benign lung disease.The level of serum CYFR21-1,CEA had significant difference(P

Objective To explore the roles and possible mechanism of calcium-sensing receptor(CaSR) in cell cardiac hypertrophy model using angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ ).Methods The cultured neonatal rat ventricular myocytes were treated with Ang Ⅱ as cell cardiac hypertrophy model.Hypertrophic neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were treated with GdCl3(a specific agonist of CaSR) and/or with Ro318220(a specific inhibitor of PKC pathway).To evaluate the status of cardiac hypertrophy,cell diameter was observed by HE dyeing,and protein content was determined through coomassie brilliant blue protein kit.The intracellular calcium concentration( [ Ca2+]i) was determined by laser scanning confocal microscope.The protein expression of CaSR and PKC pathway were analyzed using Western blotting.Results ①Compared to the control group(0.1263 ± 0.0443),the protein expression of CaSR was increased in Ang Ⅱ group and in GdCl3 group(0.1963 ± 0.0375,0.2778 ± 0.0564,all P＜ 0.05).Moreover,compared with Ang Ⅱ alone,the increase was significant in GdCl3 group(P ＜ 0.05).②Compared to control group(222.70 ± 22.09),AngⅡ group(392.16 ± 36.85) remarkably increased [Ca2+]i(P＜ 0.05),and this increase of [Ca2+]i was further enhanced in GdCl3 group (502.60 ± 44.21) versus Ang Ⅱ group (P ＜ 0.05).③Compared to control group,Ang Ⅱ could induce cardiomyocyte hypertrophy,and GdCl3 enhanced the effect.Moreover,this enhancement was attenuated by Ro318220.④Compared to control group(0.27 ± 0.07,0.69 ± 0.06,0.87 ± 0.04),the protein expression of PKCα,PKCε and PKCδ was increased in Ang Ⅱ group(0.60 ± 0.16,1.02 ± 0.13,1.20 ± 0.18,all P＜ 0.05) and the protein expression of PKCα,PKCε was increased in GdCl3 group(0.82 ± 0.16,1.34 ± 0.12,all P ＜ 0.05).Moreover,compared with Ang Ⅱ group,the protein expression of PKCα,PKCε was obviously increased in GdCl3 group (all P ＜ 0.05);compared with GdCl3 group,the protein expression of PKCα,PKCε(0.41 ± 0.10,0.85 ± 0.14) was obviously decreased in Ro318220 group(all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions CaSR is involved in cardiac hypertrophy induced by Ang Ⅱ through PKC pathway in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes.

BackgroundWhether the peeling of the inner limiting membrane (ILMP) increase the closure rate of idiopathic macular hole is still in controversy.Some ophthalmologist recommend vitrectomy combined with inner limiting membrane peeling for the treatment of idiopathic macular hole.However,the removal of ILMP is difficult because of its similar appearance to adjacent tissues.Objective This study was to investigate the efficacy of triamcinolone acetonide(TA) and indocyanine green(ICG) double staining-assisted vitrectomy combined with ILM peeling during the surgery.Methods A consecutive case- observational study was designed.The standardized vitrectomy was performed in 25 eye of 23 cases with IMH.During the vitrectomy,TA and ICG were injected into posterior pole vitreous to visualize and assist the ILM peeling.The dying effectiveness was observed,and the closure rate of macular hole,visual acuity,intraocular pressure and complications were evaluated after surgery.Written informed consent was obtained from each patient prior to operation.Results Posterior vitreous cortex and ILM were visible and the residual vitreous and cortex were removed clearly after dying of TA and ICG in all the 25 eyes.During the following-up duration of 3-8 months,the completely anatomical reattachment of the macular area was in 22 eyes ( 88.0％ ) and partially reattachment in 3 eyes( 12.0％ ).The best corrected vision was 0.07-0.60 in all of the operated eyes 2 months after surgery.Conclusions TA and ICG- assisted vitrectomy combined with ILM peeling appears to be a safe and effective method for IMH repair.

For effective inhalable dry-powder drug delivery, tetrandrine-PLGA (polylactic-co-glycolic acid) nanocomposite particles have been developed to overcome the disadvantages of nanoparticles and microparticles. The primary nanoparticles were prepared by using premix membrane emulsification method. To prepare second particles, they were spray dried. The final particles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dry laser particle size analysis, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), infrared analysis (IR) and confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM). The average size of the primary particles was (337.5 ± 6.2) nm, while that second particles was (3.675 ± 0.16) μm which can be decomposed into primary nanoparticles in water. And the second particles were solid sphere-like with the drug dispersed as armorphous form in them. It is a reference for components delivery to lung in a new form.

Rice straw degradation with white rot fungi and cellulose multienzyme was studied. The results indicated that the LiP, MnP activity produced by P. chrysosoporium 172 could reach 28.3U/g and 12.6U/g respectively under suitable culture condition. And the lignin was degraded efficiently in contrast with the cellulose and hemicellulose in rice straw solid fermentation. Following treatment with white rot fungi, using multienzyme produced by A. niger NL-1 could greatly accelerate the decomposition of rice straw. The decomposition rate of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and the loss rate of dry material were 53.8%,57.8%,44.5% and 46.3% respectivity when hydrolysis rice straw 48h with cellulase multienzyme (including 3 IU /g rice straw) after culture P. chrysosoporium 172 for 10 days. Scanning electron microscope analysis showed the cell wall of rice straw was destroyed severely, and the whole tissue got loosely. These results demonstrated the rice straw had been decomposed efficiently and completely.
