In this study, the effect of hespridin, a natural flavonoid, on renal function and morphology in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats was evaluated. The result was compared with that of aminoguanidine which can inhibit the formation of advanced glycosylation end products (AGEs) and can decreased diabetic complications in experimental diabetes. The results showed that excretion of urinary protein, and the content of AGEs and LPO decreased, while the mesangial expansion and basement membrane thickening were retarded in diabetic rats treated with hespridin. These indicate that hespridin plays the same protective role as aminoguanidine in inhibiting formation of AGEs, thus preventing the development of nephropathy in STZ induced diabetic rats.

Objective To explore the effect of sodium cantharidinate and vitamin B6 injection on plasma D-dimer level in patients of advanced esophageal cancer after chemotherapy and the relationship between plasma D-dimer level and clinical pathological parameters thereof. Methods Fifty-eight patients with advanced esophageal cancer confirmed by path-ological examination were randomly divided into two groups. Twenty-nine patients (experimental group) received chemother-apy (PF chemotherapy) combined with sodium cantharidinate and vitamin B6 (0.5 mg once daily). Twenty-nine patients (con-trol group) received same volume of saline. And there were 20 healthy volunteers as the normal control. The plasma D-dimer level was determined one day before the first cycle of chemotherapy and the third cycle of treatment. Results The plasma D-dimer level was significantly higher before chemotherapy in patients with advanced esophageal cancer than that in normal control group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in plasma D-dimer level between patient gender, age, clinical stage and pathological levels. The D-dimer level was significantly down-regulated after chemotherapy. The D-dimer level was significantly lower in experimental group than that in control group (P<0.05). The incidences of digestive and hemato-logical adverse reactions were much lower in experimental group than those in control group. Conclusion The elevated plasma D-dimer level was found in patients with advanced esophageal cancer, and which was down-regulated by chemother-apy. The chemotherapy of sodium cantharidinate and vitamin B6 can further reduce the D-dimer level, and relieve the ad-verse reactions of chemotherapy.

Objective To investigate the change pattern of perioperative plasma D-dimer levels in patients with lung cancer, and the relationship between plasma D-dimer level and clinical pathological features thereof. Methods A to-tal of 64 patients with lung cancer were taken as cancer group, and 15 cases of benign lung disease were used as control group. The plasma levels of D-dimer were determined 2 days before operation, 1 day, 5 days and 9 days after operation in two groups. The clinical pathological parameters and type of surgery were evaluated at the same time. Results Plasma D-dimer levels were significantly higher in patients with lung cancer than those in control group (t=3.087, P<0.05). D-dimer levels were significantly lower in patients of TNM stageⅠthan those in patients of stageⅡorⅢ(P<0.05, respectively). Plas-ma D-dimer levels were significantly higher in patients with small cell cancer than those of patients with non-small cell can-cer (P<0.05). The perioperative plasma levels of D-dimer changed with time trends (P<0.001). In cancer group, D-dimer levels increased on the first day after operation, and then significantly decreased on the fifth and ninth day after operation (P<0.05). In control group, D-dimer levels increased on the first day after operation. The level of D-dimer was the same lev-el on the fifth day and the first day after operation (P=0.174). The level of 9 days after operation decreased to the level before operation (P=0.631). There was significant difference in overall data between cancer group and control group (P=0.005). D-dimer levels were significantly higher in cancer group than those of control group except for the fifth day after operation. Con-clusion Plasma D-dimer levels were much higher before operation in patients with lung cancer than those of controls. Plas-ma D-dimer levels were associated with TNM stage and cell type. D-dimer levels were significantly increased from the first day after operation, and then decreased significantly until the 9-day after operation, which were lower than that before opera-tionin lung cancer patients. But the level was still higher than that in patients with benign lung diseases.
