Objective To investigate ACEI ( benazepril ) and tranilast exert renoprotective properties in diabetic nephropathy( DN) through the inhibition of thioredoxin( Trx) . Methods Forty male SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group,model control group,tranilast group and benazepril group (n=10 each).Normal control group was fed with normal diet. Other groups were fed with high-glucose high-fat diet to make DN models. Rats in model control, tranilast, and benazepril groups were fed with normal diet,400 mg??kg-1??d-1 tranilast plus normal diet,and 10 mg??kg-1??d-1 benazepril plus normal diet,respectively,via oral gavage for 12 weeks.The 24-hour proteinuria,blood glucose(BG),blood urea nitrogen (BUN),serum creatinine ( Scr) and renal pathology changes were detected. Expression of Trx was measured by Western-blot. Results The 24 h urine protein, BG, BUN, Scr, kidney/body weight, and glomerular sclerosis index were significantly decreased in tranilast group and benazepril group,as compaired with model control group ( P0.05).Both tranilast and benazepril can reduce renal pathological changes,and can increase the expression of Trx of DN rats, but benazepril had a more significant effect on increasing Trx expression. Conclusion Both tranilast and benazepril have renoprotective function in DN, and benazepril is more effective than tranilast in delaying the progression of diabetic nephropathy by increasing Trx expression and decreasomg oxidative stress.

Objective To observe the effects of hydrocortisone on the rate of return of spontaneous circulation(ROSC)and the outcome of patients with cardiac arrest(CA)and cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR). Methods A cohort study was conducted,78 non-traumatic patients with CA were divided into hydrocortisone group (31 cases)and control group(47 cases). Conventional treatments were given in the two groups after admission,and additionally intravenous 100 mg hydrocortisone was given to the hydrocortisone group during resuscitation. The ROSC rate and prognosis were compared between the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to predict the impact factor of ROSC. Results The ROSC rate and 24-hour survival rate in the hydrocortisone group were significantly higher than those of the control group(ROSC rate:58.1% vs. 40.4%,24-hour survival rate:48.4%vs. 36.2%,both P<0.05). There were no significant differences between the hydrocortisone and the control groups in duration of CPR〔minute:17.1(6-45)vs. 15.8(7-48)〕,acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHE Ⅱ)score in survivors(37.2±8.2 vs. 36.1±8.2),the survival rate(12.9% vs. 12.8%)and hospital discharge rate(6.4%vs. 6.4%)in 7 days. Hydrocortisone〔odds ratio(OR)=3.12,95%confidence interval(95%CI)-1.18-8.29, P=0.017〕and witness(OR=4.24, 95%CI -1.87-12.43,P=0.008) were independent predictors for an increased ROSC rate after multiple logistic regression analysis. Conclusion Giving hydrocortisone during resuscitation may increase ROSC rate in CA patients.
