ABSTRACT
Primary hypertension is a kind of cardiovascular syndrome which main clinical manifestation is elevated systemic arterial blood pressure,and it's exact pathogenesis remains unclear.Regulatory T cells are a group of T cell subgroups with immunosuppressive and immunocompromised functions,they play an irreplaceable role in the process of immune suppression and immune tolerance.Recently many studies have showed that hypertension is often accompanied by abnormal immune functions.To search the mechanism of action of regulatory T cells in the development of hypertension is significance to prevent and treat hypertension.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:The preliminary findings confirm that bone marrow mesenchymal stem celltransplantation is safe and effective in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction, but its exact mechanism is unclear. There are few studies addressing the survival status of transplanted stem cells and its acting timing. OBJECTIVE:To study the survival of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transplanted into the infracted myocardium. METHODS:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were cultured using density gradient centrifugation. Eighty rat models of myocardial infarction were prepared. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were injected via a microsyringe at four sites around the infarcted region at 14 days after modeling. Then, 70 rats with living cells were selected for detecting the survival of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells at days 3, 5, 7, 10, 20, 28 after transplantation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Under ×400 visual field, the number of Brdu-positive bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells was (36±12) at 3 days posttranplantation, (33±13) at 5 days, (28±9) at 7 days, (15±5) at 10 days, (5±3) at 14 days, 0 at 20 days, and 0 at 28 days, showing a overal downward trend after transplantation. The number of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells was negatively correlated with transplant days (P<0.01, r=-0.47). The number of cells decreased most significantly within 1 week after transplantation, and then decreased to 0 at 20 days. These findings indicate that transplanted bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in the myocardium cannot survive for a long term and also cannot be transformed into myocardial tissue.
ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the surgical complications secondary to decompressive craniectomy as well as the clinical factors related to these complications. Methods We reviewed a series of 83patients undergone surgical decompression and analyzed the incidence of surgical complications as well as the relationship of the complications with GCS score and operation opportunity selection. Results There were 51 patients (61%) with surgical complications after decompression, among whom 30 patients ( 36% ) had more than two kinds of complications. The trauma severity would increase with the incidence of surgical complication, with statistical difference between groups. The late operative group ( ≥ 12hours) showed higher incidence of complication than the early operative group ( < 12 hours), with no statistical difference. Conclusion The procedure of decompressive craniectomy develops kinds of complications which should be prevented, detected and treated early for an optimal prognosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the prevalence of microvascular and macrovascular complications between adult latent autoimmune diabetes(LADA)and type 2 diabetic subjects.Methods A cross-sectional study was performed in 203 LADA(GADA positive)and 203 T2DM(GADA negative)subjects matched with age,gender and duration as well as family history of diabetes.Parameters of microvascular(albuminuria、eyeground microscopy or fundus fluorescence photography,electromyogram)and macrovascular complications(electrocardiogram,blood pressure,blood lipid,body mass index)as well as blood sugar were compared.Results ①Microvascular complications:Compared with T2DM,LADA cases showed higher prevalence of diabetic nephropathy(39.9%vs.28.6%,P＜0.05)and similar prevalence in diabetic neuropathy and retinopathy(P＞0.05).②Macrovascular complications:LADA cases presented lower prevalence of hypertension(38.9%vs.55.7%,P＜0.01),lower prevalence of metabolic syndrome (33.0%vs.45.3%,P＜0.01＝,but similar orevalence of coronarv heart disease (CHD) and erebral infarction(CVD)(P＞0.05).Conclusion LADA patients present less metabolic syndrome,hypertension and more diabetic nephropathy compared with T2DM.
ABSTRACT
Objective: The chemical composition, extraction and biological activity of antioxidant substance of sweet potatoes were studied. Method: The antioxidant substance was extracted with alcohol and purified with AB-8 big-hole resin and its elimination rate of _?O 2 and OH and SOD activity were determined.Results: The content of antioxidant substance stockpiled respectively in the root tubers, stems and leaves of sweet potatoes and was different in varieties. The highest content in the root tuber was 0.324%, which accounted 70% of total content in sweet potatoes. Its extraction ratio was 85%. The major composition of the antioxidant substance was phenol acid, including chlorogenic acid,isochlorogenic acid,neochlorogenic acid and 4-0-caffeonyl quinic butyl ester. They had intense antioxidant function and their elimination rate to _?O 2 and?OH at concentration 90 mg/ml was 88.02% and 82.21% respectively. The antioxidantsubstance restrained oxidation of lipid and hemolysis of red cell induced by H2O2,and increased SOD activity in serum and skin of mice. Conclusion: Several kinds of phenol acid as antioxidant substance stockpiled in sweet potatoes were proved to have strong antioxidant activity.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To extract the polysaccharides of Curcuma zedoaria Rosc (PCZ) and study its bioactivities. Methods: The crude polysaccharides were extracted from herbal slice of Curcuma zedoaria Rosc with hot water ,and precipitated by ethanol and savage deproteinization and depigmentation with activated charcoal. The constituents were isolated by column chromatography and the total polysaccharides content was determined. Experiments of immune function,anti-oxidation and anti-tumor activity of KM mice and in viro were studied. Results: The content of total polysaccharides of Curcuma zedoaria Rosc was 33.12%. and the extraction rate was 1.938% . It could raise spleen cell proliferation and transformation rate of lymphocyte and SOD activity in blood of mice. A higher antitumor effect of the polysaccharides by injection was observed dose-dependently. Conclusion: PCZ could raise the immune and anti-oxidative activities and then had a higher antitumor effect.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the clinical and histological features of multiple meningiomas. Methods:39 cases of multiple meningiomas were analyzed retrospectively. The expressions of PR (Progesterone receptor) , p53 and MIB-1 were detected by immunohistochemistry in the samples of multiple meningiomas and solitary meningiomas. Results:Female predominance was obvious in cases of multiple meningiomas. The tumors had wide distributions with a main location in brain convexity. The results of immunohistochemistry showed stronger expression of PR and similar expression of p53 and MIB-1 in samples of multiple meningiomas than those in solitary meningiomas. Conclusion:The diagnosis of multiple meningiomas mainly depends on radiological examination. The pathogenesis of multiple meningiomas is probably related to progesterone and its receptor, and it is most likely monoclonal origin.
