Objective To investigate the interference effect of calcium dobesilate on serum creatinine levels by Sarcosine oxidase-based assay.Methods 1.Interference test in vivo:Ten patients with chronic renal diseases from Huangshi second hosptial were recruited.Serum creatinine (sarcosine oxidase method,Scr1 ; deiminase method,Scr2),urea,and cystatin C were detected and compared before and after one week administration of calcium dobesilate; 2.Interference test in vitro:to detect whether 100 mg/L calcium dobesilate has any interference with Scr1 and Scr2; 3.Dose-dependent interference test:To detect the interference effect of different concentrations of calcium dobesilate (1.25-20.0 mg/L) on different creatinine concentrations (404.5 μmol/L or 65.9 μmoL/L) measured by sarcosine oxidase assay.Bias within 3.5% or 6.63 μmol/L of creatinine levels was clinically acceptable.Statistical comparisons were made using Wilcoxon rank-sum test.Results There was significant difference of sarcosine oxidase-based serum creatinine levels between before and after one week administration of calcium dobesilate (P < 0.05),while no significant differences were observed for deiminase-based serum creatinine levels,urea and estimated GFR values (P > 0.05).Interference test showed that 95% confidence interval of interventional value (Dobs) of calcium dobesilate (100 mg/L) was (-173.9 ± 2.86) μmol/L for the sarcosine oxidase assay and (1.21 ± 3.14) μmol/L for deiminase method,indicating that calcium dobesilate caused a significant negative effect on the former enzymatic assay but not the latter one.In the dose effect interference test of calcium dobesilate,the regression equations were:Y =-2.7649X-0.0782 (R2 =0.998,F =7943.4,P =0.000) for high creatinine levels and Y =0.0263X2-1.6394X-0.2754 (R2 =0.996,F =2546.7,P =0.000) for low creatinine levels.The interference effect was less than the predetermined d with the calcium dobesilate concentrations of 4.4 mg/L in high concentration specimen and 3.5 mg/L in low concentration specimen.Conclusions Calcium dobesilate has a significant negative interference with serum creatinine detected by the sarcosine oxidase method,which leads to the bias of creatinine in patients with renal insufficiency.Hence,sarcosine-oxidase-based creatinine levels should be cautious when calcium dobesilate was used,and further check with another assay is necessary if possible.

Objective To observe the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and functional magnetic stimulation over spinal cord (SC-MS) on motor function recovery after spinal cord hemisection in rats. Methods T10 spinal cord hemisection model was made. The stimulation (5×10 s bursts of 5 Hz at 35% maximal stimulator output, each burst separated by a 2 m interval) was delivered daily, 5 d per week for 2 weeks. The treatment began at 4 d after surgery for rTMS group and SC-MS group. Motor function recovery was assessed with Basso, Beattie & Bresnahan locomotor rating scale (BBB) and the Horizontal Ladder test. The tibialis anterior was surgically removed at 38 d after spinal cord injury for calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) iummunohistochemical staining. Results The scores of BBB and Horizontal Ladder test were significantly more at 17 d after spinal cord hemisection in rTMS group than before treatment and in spinal cord injury group (P<0.05). In SC-MS group, the scores of BBB and Horizontal Ladder Test were significantly more 10 d after SCI than before treatment and in SCI group (P<0.05). The score of Horizontal Ladder test of SC-MS group was more 10 d after SCI than that in the rTMS gourp (P<0.05). The expression of CGRP on motor endplates of the tibialis anterior in rTMS group and SC-MS group were more than those of SCI group (P<0.01). Conclusion rTMS and SC-MS in acute stage can improve the motor function recovery and muscle plasticity after spinal cord hemisection in rats. The magnetic stimulation can facilitate the recovery of motor function after spinal cord hemisection in rats.

Objective To explore the role of Beclin 1 and PTEN in gastric caicinoma genesis and the effects on prognosis.Methods The expression of Beclin 1 and PTEN in 199 gastric caicinoma specimens and corresponding adjacent noncancerous tissues were examined by tissue microarrays and immunohistochemistary,and the relation with gastric cancer was analyzed.The rate of Beclin 1 and PTEN expression in 15 fresh gastric carcinoma samples and corresponding adjacent noncancerous tissues were detected by Western blot.All the samples were from Changzheng Hospital.Results The Results of immunohistochemistary showed that the rates of Beclin 1 and PTEN positive expression in cancinoma tissues were 47.2% (94/199) and 55.8% (111/199),both were lower than that of adjacent noncancinoma tissues (94.5%,188/199 and 92.5%,184/199; P < 0.01).The lower expression of Beclin 1 and PTEN in gastric carcinoma were associated with gender,differentiation degree,depth of tumor invasion,lymph node metastases and disease stage(P<0.05).There was a positive correlation between Beclin 1 and PTEN expression in gastric carcinoma tissues (r =0.680,P<0.01). The survival analysis indicated that Beclin 1 and PTEN were independent factors in determining the prognosis of gastric cancinoma patients.The 5-year survival rate of Beclin 1 positive patients was 67.0% (63/94),and of negative patients was 33.3% (35/105).The 5-year survival rate of PTEN positive patients was 71.2% (79/111),and of negative patients was 21.6% (19/88) ( all P<0.001).The Results of Western blot indicated that the expression of Beclin 1 and PTEN in gastric carcinoma tissues were significantly lower than that in the adjacent noncarcinoma tissues ( all P<0.001).Conclusion The abnormal expression of Beclin 1 and PTEN may be related to carcinogenesis and the development of gastric carcinoma.
