黄芪多糖对糖尿病大鼠微血管病变的作用及机制的研究

目的：探讨黄芪多糖（APS）对糖尿病大鼠微血管病变的影响以及对糖尿病的治疗作用及机制。方法：成年,健康SD大鼠40只,雌雄不限,分成四组：正常对照组,糖尿病组（腹腔注射四氧嘧啶200mg/kg),APS组（造模成功后用APS治疗）,优降糖组（造模成功后用优降糖治疗）。治疗两周时测一次血糖,四周后,测血糖;颈动脉取血测定血清胰素水平,NO和MDA含量。应用形态定量的方法比较各组的心肌病理变化。结果：腹腔注射alloxan(200mg/kg)后的SD大鼠血糖浓度显升高,血清NO,MDA,胰岛素水平明显改变。APS治疗四周后,血糖浓度明显下降,与优降糖治疗组无明显差异,血清NO较未治疗组明显升高（P＜0．01）,血清MDA较未治疗组明显减少（P＜0．01）,血清胰岛素水平升高（P＜0．05）,光镜下观察,糖尿病大鼠的心肌毛细血管数量减少,基底膜增厚,微血管与心肌纤维的比率显减低,这些改变都可被APS改善.结论：APS有降低血糖和保护血管内皮细胞的作用,这可能与APS减轻氧自由基的损伤,影响NO的产生以及促进胰岛B细胞的损伤的恢复有关。

Problems for clinical judgement: 4. Surviving in the report card era

HEALTH CARE REPORT CARDS INVOLVE COMPARISONS of health care systems, hospitals or clinicians on performance measures. They are going to be an important feature of medical care in Canada in the new millennium as patients demand more information about their medical care. Although many clinicians are aware of this growing trend, they may not be prepared for all of its implications. In this article, we provide some historical background on health care report cards and describe a number of strategies to help clinicians survive and thrive in the report card era. We offer a number of tips ranging from knowing your outcomes first to proactively getting involved in developing report cards.     

尿液结合性胆红素的纯化

OBJECTIVES: To develop a simple, practical method with fine yield and purity for separating conjugated bilirubin(Bc) from a sustainable and facile material in order that it could serve as a calibrator for total and direct bilirubin determination. METHODS: Isolating Bc from urine of patients with obstructive jaundice by CHCl3: CH3CH2OH(1:1, V/V) followed by CNBr activated Sepharose 4B-HAS affinity chromatography, we analyzed the products by the use of Doumas J-G diazo method and HPLC, respectively. RESULTS: Determined by J-G diazo method, the crude product extracted by CHCl3: CH3CH2OH(1:1, V/V) yields 90.2 +/- 5.4%(n = 3) of urine Bc, the ratio of Bc to total dry weight being 67.9 +/- 6.4%(n = 3). The final product purified by affinity chromatography with the ratio of separation of 1.5, 1.737 and analyzed by HPLC has the yield of 46.9% and purity of 94.7%(BDG of 76.2%, BMG of 18.5%). CONCLUSION: The above data demonstrate that urine conjugated bilirubin can be successfully purified by CHCl3: CH3CH2OH extraction followed by Sephrose-HSA affinity chromatography with sufficient purity and output.

Two-stage Study of Familial Prostate Cancer by Whole-exome Sequencing and Custom Capture Identifies 10 Novel Genes Associated with the Risk of Prostate Cancer

BackgroundFamily history of prostate cancer (PCa) is a well-known risk factor, and both common and rare genetic variants are associated with the disease.ObjectiveTo detect new genetic variants associated with PCa, capitalizing on the role of family history and more aggressive PCa.Design, setting, and participantsA two-stage design was used. In stage one, whole-exome sequencing was used to identify potential risk alleles among affected men with a strong family history of disease or with more aggressive disease (491 cases and 429 controls). Aggressive disease was based on a sum of scores for Gleason score, node status, metastasis, tumor stage, prostate-specific antigen at diagnosis, systemic recurrence, and time to PCa death. Genes identified in stage one were screened in stage two using a custom-capture design in an independent set of 2917 cases and 1899 controls.Outcome measurements and statistical analysisFrequencies of genetic variants (singly or jointly in a gene) were compared between cases and controls.Results and limitationsEleven genes previously reported to be associated with PCa were detected (ATM, BRCA2, HOXB13, FAM111A, EMSY, HNF1B, KLK3, MSMB, PCAT1, PRSS3, and TERT), as well as an additional 10 novel genes (PABPC1, QK1, FAM114A1, MUC6, MYCBP2, RAPGEF4, RNASEH2B, ULK4, XPO7, and THAP3). Of these 10 novel genes, all but PABPC1 and ULK4 were primarily associated with the risk of aggressive PCa.ConclusionsOur approach demonstrates the advantage of gene sequencing in the search for genetic variants associated with PCa and the benefits of sampling patients with a strong family history of disease or an aggressive form of disease.Patient summaryMultiple genes are associated with prostate cancer (PCa) among men with a strong family history of this disease or among men with an aggressive form of PCa.     

Ductal Prostate Cancers Demonstrate Poor Outcomes with Conventional Therapies

BackgroundDuctal prostate adenocarcinoma (DAC) is a rare, aggressive, histologic variant of prostate cancer that is treated with conventional therapies, similar to high-risk prostate adenocarcinoma (PAC).ObjectiveTo assess the outcomes of men undergoing definitive therapy for DAC or high-risk PAC and to explore the effects of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in improving the outcomes of DAC.Design, setting, and participantsA single-center retrospective review of all patients with cT1–4/N0–1 DAC from 2005 to 2018 was performed. Those undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP) or radiotherapy (RTx) for DAC were compared with cohorts of high-risk PAC patients.Outcome measurements and statistical analysisMetastasis-free survival (MFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression models.Results and limitationsA total of 228 men with DAC were identified; 163 underwent RP, 34 underwent RTx, and 31 had neoadjuvant therapy prior to RP. In this study, 163 DAC patients and 155 PAC patients undergoing RP were compared. Similarly, 34 DAC patients and 74 PAC patients undergoing RTx were compared. DAC patients undergoing RP or RTx had worse 5-yr MFS (75% vs 95% and 62% vs 93%, respectively, p < 0.001) and 5-yr OS (88% vs 97% and 82% vs 100%, respectively, p < 0.05) compared with PAC patients. In the 76 men who received adjuvant/salvage ADT after RP, DAC also had worse MFS and OS than PAC (p < 0.01). A genomic analysis revealed that 10/11 (91%) DACs treated with ADT had intrinsic upregulation of androgen-resistant pathways. Further, none of the DAC patients (0/15) who received only neoadjuvant ADT prior to RP had any pathologic downgrading. The retrospective nature was a limitation.ConclusionsMen undergoing RP or RTx for DAC had worse outcomes than PAC patients, regardless of the treatment modality. Upregulation of several intrinsic resistance pathways in DAC rendered ADT less effective. Further evaluation of the underlying biology of DAC with clinical trials is needed.Patient summaryThis study demonstrated worse outcomes among patients with ductal adenocarcinoma of the prostate than among high-grade prostate adenocarcinoma patients, regardless of the treatment modality.
