Cardioprotective effects of sinomenine in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury in a rat model

BackgroundIschemia reperfusion (I/R) play an imperative role in the expansion of cardiovascular disease. Sinomenine (SM) has been exhibited to possess antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antiviral and anticarcinogenic properties. The aim of the study was scrutinized the cardioprotective effect of SM against I/R injury in rat.MethodsRat were randomly divided into normal control (NC), I/R control and I/R + SM (5, 10 and 20 mg/kg), respectively. Ventricular arrhythmias, body weight and heart weight were estimated. Antioxidant, inflammatory cytokines, inflammatory mediators and plasmin system indicator were accessed.ResultsPre-treated SM group rats exhibited the reduction in the duration and incidence of ventricular fibrillation, ventricular ectopic beat (VEB) and ventricular tachycardia along with suppression of arrhythmia score during the ischemia (30 and 120 min). SM treated rats significantly (P < 0.001) altered the level of antioxidant parameters. SM treatment significantly (P < 0.001) repressed the level of creatine kinase MB (CK-MB), creatine kinase (CK) and troponin I (Tnl). SM treated rats significantly (P < 0.001) repressed the tissue factor (TF), thromboxane B2 (TXB2), plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) and plasma fibrinogen (Fbg) and inflammatory cytokines and inflammatory mediators.ConclusionOur result clearly indicated that SM plays anti-arrhythmia effect in I/R injury in the rats via alteration of oxidative stress and inflammatory reaction.     

健脾益肝方对非酒精性脂肪性肝病患者脂肪分布及脂代谢的影响

目的:探讨健脾益肝方对非酒精性脂肪性肝病(NAFLD)患者脂肪分布及脂代谢的影响。方法:将80例NAFLD患者随机分为对照组和治疗组各40例。两组患者均在多学科联合管理下给予个体化的饮食、运动等生活方式指导,治疗组患者在此基础上加用健脾益肝方,疗程均为3个月。通过生物电阻抗技术测量患者治疗前后脂肪质量及分布,定期监测肝肾功能、血脂指标。比较两组患者肥胖、脂肪分布、血脂指标变化。结果:治疗组患者有效率为97.5%,明显高于对照组的82.5%,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);治疗组患者BMI、BFP、WHR、TC、TG及LDL-C水平明显低于对照组,差异有统计学意义(均P<0.05);治疗组患者躯干及内脏脂肪沉积改善明显优于对照组,差异有统计学意义(均P<0.05)。结论:生活方式干预联合健脾益肝方治疗NAFLD患者能显著改善患者的肥胖及脂代谢紊乱,并且与躯干和内脏脂肪质量的下降密切相关。     

CD73在结直肠癌组织中的表达及其与临床病理参数的关系

目的:探讨不同分期结直肠癌患者肿瘤组织内CD73表达分布情况及其与患者临床病理参数、预后之间的关系。方法:选取2012年1月至2013年6月于本院就诊并行手术治疗的结直肠癌患者共60例作为研究对象，于术中取其肿瘤组织和癌旁组织样本，使用免疫组化法检测收集的所有样本中CD73分布与表达情况，并分析CD73与结直肠癌患者临床病理参数及预后的关系。结果:TNM分期越高的结直肠癌患者病灶组织CD73阳性率越高（P＜0.05），癌旁组织中CD73阳性率明显低于结直肠癌患者（P＜0.05）；CD73在结直肠癌中的阳性表达率与年龄、组织分化程度无相关（P＞0.05）；与浸润深度、淋巴结转移和临床分期有重要联系（P＜0.05）；CD73表达阳性组术后存活时间明显短于阴性组（P＜0.05）；疾病复发率明显高于阴性组（P＜0.05）；阳性组5年存活率也明显低于阴性组（P＜0.05），提示CD73呈阳性高表达的结直肠癌患者预后往往较差。结论:CD73在结直肠癌患者肿瘤组织中的表达量明显升高，可作为评估患者预后的独立预测因子，临床医师可根据结直肠癌患者病理组织中CD73表达量对其预后进行判断和评估，具有推广价值。     

傣族药产地生态适宜性分析与产业发展策略

适宜性产区能够保障傣族药的品质,然而有关植物类傣族药适宜生态因子及适宜产区的研究目前较为匮乏。本研究利用中药材产地适宜性分析地理信息系统(GMPGIS)对植物类傣族药进行全国产地生态适宜性分析,首次提出了植物类傣族药主要分布区域的生态因子范围和主要土壤类型,如年均温8. 6～23. 7℃,年均降水量1 212～1 881 mm,年均日照149. 7～157. 4 W·m-2,主要土壤类型为强淋溶土、冲积土、高活性强酸土等。以179个采样点为基础,通过生态相似性分析得到植物类傣族药在全球范围内的最大生态相似度区域,主要包括中国、巴西、美国、缅甸、老挝等国家。在中国主要集中在云南的西部和南部,包括西双版纳傣族自治州、德宏傣族景颇族自治州普洱市、保山市、临沧市具有较大的适宜栽培区域。除此之外,本文通过分析傣族药人才匮乏、傣族药资源日益减少、文化传承具有局限性、科学研究薄弱等问题,并提出了通过傣族医药高素质人才培养、傣族药资源调研和保护工作、推进傣族药资料古籍的搜集整理、加强傣族药基础研究和应用研究等策略促进傣族医药发展。本研究为指导植物类傣族药生产基地合理布局、引种繁育等提供依据,为高品质傣族药的科学规范化生产奠定基础。     

发泡胶在鼻咽癌放疗中对剂量分布的影响

目的：研究在鼻咽癌放射治疗中应用发泡胶进行体位固定对剂量分布的影响。方法：随机选取11例应用头颈肩热塑膜联合发泡胶进行体位固定的鼻咽癌患者，在Pinnacle计划系统中将空白CT值设置到发泡胶的CT值以下，以确保发泡胶的CT值被计算在内，作为第一组计划（Plan_F）。同时，复制第一组计划并在定位图像上勾画出发泡胶，设置发泡胶的CT值为0，在不改变射野分布、权重及计划跳数的情况下重新计算剂量分布，作为第二组计划（Plan_N）。比较两组计划的靶区及周围正常组织的剂量分布。结果：对于靶区（GTVnx、GTVnd、GTVrpn、PGTVnx、CTV1、PTV1、CTV2、PTV2）的最小剂量Dmin，最大剂量Dmax，平均剂量Dmean去除发泡胶之后，所测 255组数据中仅有6组数据出现减小（约占2.4%），Dmin、Dmax和Dmean的变化度（%）（X±SD）依次为0.215±0.969、 0.395±0.623和 0.442±0.178，其中除了GTVrpn的Dmin（P=0.727）和Dmax（P=0.142），PGTVnx的Dmin（P=0.623），CTV1 Dmin（P=0.713），CTV2 Dmax（P=0.066），其他评估指标皆显示发泡胶使用组剂量低于去除发泡胶组（P＜0.05）；而对于周围正常组织（脑干、脊髓、左右晶体、左右视神经和腮腺）的Dmean和Dmax去除发泡胶之后，所测的154组数据中仅有14组数据出现减小（约占9.1%），Dmax和Dmean的变化度（%）（X±SD）依次为0.194±0.192 和0.129±0.128，其中除了左、右晶体的平均剂量Dmean（P值分别为0.123和0.06），其余各项指标同样显示发泡胶使用组剂量低于去除发泡胶组（P＜0.05）。结论：发泡胶的使用降低了实际治疗过程中受照部位的剂量，但发泡胶对剂量变化的影响都在目前临床可接受的范围之内。

Red blood cell distribution width is an independent risk factor in the prediction of acute respiratory distress syndrome after severe burns

BackgroundThe occurrence of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) significantly increases the mortality and morbidity of major burns; there are few laboratory markers that predict the development of ARDS in severe burns. This study was to investigate the relationship between complete blood count (CBC) parameters and the incidence of ARDS in severe burn patients.MethodsAn eight-year retrospective study was performed on 610 severe burn patients who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University and Rui Jin Hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University from January 2008 to December 2015. The patients were divided into two groups based on the development of ARDS. A blood sample was taken at admission and CBC parameters were examined. Univariate logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the risk factors for the development of ARDS.ResultsOf these 610 patients, 143 developed ARDS giving a rate of 23.44%. The percentage of deep second degree and full thickness burn, inhalation injury and red blood cell distribution width (RDW) were independently associated with the development of ARDS in severe burn patients. Every 1% increase in RDW was associated with a 29% increase in the risk to develop ARDS.ConclusionsThe findings of this study suggest that an elevated RDW is associated with an increased risk of ARDS and RDW is an independent risk factor in the prediction of ARDS after severe burns.
