ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the antioxidant protective effects of different low-dose of insulin glargine on organs of burned rats with delayed resuscitation.Methods:Forty male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into sham group, delayed resuscitation control group, and insulin glargine 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 U groups, with 8 rats in each group. The rats were immersed in hot water (95.0±0.5) ℃ for 15 s to establish the third-degree scald model with 30% total body surface area. The rats in the sham group were immersed in a 37 ℃ water bath for 15 s. Insulin glargine (0.5, 1.0, 2.0 U·kg -1·d -1) was injected subcutaneously in corresponding insulin glargine group 2 hours after injury, and the same amount of normal saline was injected intraperitoneally in the delayed resuscitation control group. Intraperitoneal injection of normal saline 40 mL/kg simulated delayed resuscitation 6 hours after injury in all groups. Abdominal aortic blood samples, heart and kidney tissue were collected immediately after simulating burn in the sham group, and 24 hours after burn in other four groups. The blood glucose, myocardial enzymes [lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK), α-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (α-HBDH), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST)] and renal function indexes [blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (SCr)] were measured by spectrophotometry, and the isoenzyme MB of creatine kinase (CK-MB) level was determined by immunosuppression method to evaluate the effects of different low-dose insulin glargine intervention on blood glucose, cardiac and renal functions in scalded rats with delayed resuscitation. The oxidative and antioxidant indices [xanthine oxidase (XOD), myeloperoxidase (MPO), copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC)] from the heart and kidney tissues of rats were detected by spectrophotometry to analyze the antioxidant effects of different low-dose insulin glargine interventions. Results:Compared with the sham group, the blood glucose of the rats in the delayed resuscitation control group was significantly increased, the heart and kidney functions were significantly reduced, the oxidation capacity was enhanced, and the antioxidant indicators were significantly reduced. After the intervention of insulin glargine, with the increase of insulin glargine dose, the blood glucose, myocardial enzyme and renal function indicators of rats showed a gradual downward trend, the oxidation indicators continued to decrease, and the antioxidant indicators showed a gradual upward trend. When the dose was 2.0 U·kg -1·d -1, the blood glucose, LDH, CK, CK-MB, α-HBDH, AST, BUN, SCr, XOD and MPO were significantly lower than those in the delayed resuscitation control group [blood glucose (mmol/L): 5.91±0.25 vs. 11.76±0.36, LDH (U/L): 3 332.12±51.61 vs. 5 008.94±490.12, CK (kU/L): 0.49±0.03 vs. 0.85±0.04, CK-MB (U/L): 125.40±12.19 vs. 267.52±11.63, α-HBDH (U/L): 122.99±5.37 vs. 240.85±13.99, AST (U/L): 11.95±1.81 vs. 17.87±1.57, BUN (mmol/L): 4.72±0.15 vs. 7.16±0.34, SCr (μmol/L): 87.11±6.51 vs. 137.50±11.36, XOD (U/g): 166.29±3.27 vs. 204.90±4.82 in heart tissue, 63.51±1.46 vs. 79.69±1.75 in kidney tissue, MPO (U/g): 1.05±0.02 vs. 1.55±0.06 in heart tissue, 1.04±0.04 vs. 1.87±0.01 in kidney tissue, all P < 0.05], and CuZn-SOD, CAT, GSH-Px and T-AOC were significantly higher than those in the delayed resuscitation control group [CuZn-SOD (kU/g): 82.95±2.69 vs. 56.52±2.26 in heart tissue, 94.50±2.73 vs. 62.02±1.66 in kidney tissue, CAT (U/g): 36.07±2.01 vs. 15.15±2.22 in heart tissue, 184.49±4.53 vs. 156.02±3.96 in kidney tissue, GSH-Px (kU/g): 231.93±8.03 vs. 179.48±3.15 in heart tissue, 239.63±7.30 vs. 172.20±2.09 in kidney tissue, T-AOC (kU/g): 4.85±0.23 vs. 2.71±0.11 in heart tissue, 5.51±0.08 vs. 3.50±0.07 in kidney tissue, all P < 0.05]. Conclusion:Different low-dose of insulin glargine (≤2.0 U·kg -1·d -1) could exert antioxidant protection on the heart and kidney of rats with delayed resuscitation after burns, with a dose-dependent manner.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To observe the effects of medium and long-term insulin pretreatment on the activity of main oxidase and antioxidant enzyme in the myocardium of burned rats with delayed fluid resuscitation.Methods:According to random number table method, forty male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were divided into pseudo-burn group, burn delayed resuscitation group, insulin glargine pretreatment group and neutral protamine hagedorn (NPH) insulin pretreatment group, with 10 rats in each group. 30% total body surface area (TBSA) as Ⅲ degree scald model was prepared by bathing the back of rats in 95 ℃ hot water for 15 s; the rats in the pseudo-burn group were immersed in 37 ℃ warm water for 15 s as control. Insulin glargine pretreatment group, NPH insulin pretreatment group and burn delayed resuscitation group were injected subcutaneously with insulin glargine, NPH insulin, and normal saline 1.0 U·kg -1·d -1 2 hours after injury, and intraperitoneal injection of normal saline 40 mL/kg simulated delay resuscitation 6 hours after injury. The pseudo-burn group didn't receive medicine and delayed resuscitation. Abdominal aortic blood samples and heart tissue were collected immediately after simulating scald in the pseudo-burn group, and 24 hours after scald in three burn groups. Blood glucose, xanthine oxidase (XOD), myeloperoxidase (MPO), CuZn-superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) of the heart tissue were determined by spectrophotometry. Results:Compared with the pseudo-burn group, the burn delayed resuscitation group have significantly higher blood glucose level and the XOD and MPO in the heart tissue, while significantly lower CuZn-SOD, CAT, and GSH-Px in the heart tissue. Compared with the burn delayed resuscitation group, insulin glargine pretreatment group and NPH insulin pretreatment group have lower blood glucose level and heart tissue XOD [blood glucose (mmol/L): 6.37±1.22, 6.66±1.45 vs. 9.47±0.80; XOD (U/g): 271.93 (261.59, 275.91), 285.32 (251.96, 297.29) vs. 363.37 (354.12, 377.76), all P < 0.05], while significantly higher heart tissue CuZn-SOD, CAT, and GSH-Px [CuZn-SOD (U/g): 0.13±0.01, 0.14±0.01 vs. 0.10±0.01; CAT (U/g): 29.17±7.28, 27.16±7.37 vs. 18.36±4.53; GSH-Px (U/g): 0.33 (0.16, 0.41), 0.30 (0.17, 0.41) vs. 0.07 (0.04, 0.11), all P < 0.05]. MPO activity in insulin glargine pretreatment group was significantly lower than that in burn delayed resuscitation group (U/g: 0.016±0.002 vs. 0.020±0.002, P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference between insulin pretreatment group and NPH insulin pretreatment group (U/g: 0.019±0.003 vs. 0.020±0.002, P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in the blood glucose, and activities of XOD, MPO, CAT, GSH-Px between insulin glargine pretreatment group and NPH insulin pretreatment group, but the activity of CuZn-SOD in NPH insulin pretreatment group was further higher than that in insulin glargine pretreatment group (U/g: 0.14±0.01 vs. 0.13±0.01, P < 0.05). Conclusions:Medium and long-term insulin pretreatment can improve the antioxidant capacity of myocardium in delayed resuscitation rats after burns, inhibit the production of reactive oxygen species and improve the scavenging capacity of reactive oxygen species. However, only CuZn-SOD activity is different between the two groups, and further study needs to be carried out to determine whether it is related to the type if insulin.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate clinicopathological features,diagnosis and treatment of cutaneous Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC).Methods CNKI,Wanfang,Vip databases were searched for reported domestic cases of MCC from January 1,1986 to October 1,2017,and clinical data were collected,and retrospectively analyzed and summarized.Results During 31 years between 1986 and 2017,a total of 171 domestic cases of MCC were reported.There were 78 males and 93 females,and the ratio of male to female was 1:1.19.Of the 171 patients,136 (79.5％) were aged more than 50 years,and lesions mostly occurred on the head and face or extremities in 139 (81.3％) patients.Clinically,149 (87.1％) patients were misdiagnosed as tumor of unknown origin (89 cases,52％),malignant lymphoma (34 cases,19.9％),benign tumors (15 cases,8.8％) or non-tumor diseases (11 cases,6.4％).As for clinical stage,84 (49.1％) patients had stage Ⅰ MCC,and 49 (28.6％)had stage Ⅱ MCC.One patient received immunotherapy,and 165 patients underwent surgical resection,including 91 patients receiving surgery alone,24 patients treated with postoperative radiotherapy,19 patients treated with postoperative chemotherapy,and 31 patients receiving postoperative chemoradiotherapy.Five patients did not describe the treatment.Among 74 patients who were followed up after the surgery,one-year survival rate and five-year survival rate were 52.7％ and 6.8％ respectively.The five-year survival rate was 6.1％ in the patients with stage Ⅰ MCC,5.6％ in those with stage Ⅱ MCC,and 0 in those with stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ MCC.Conclusions In China,cutaneous MCC mostly occurs on the head,face,neck and extremities of the middle-aged or elderly,with a high misdiagnosis rate.Surgical excision combined with radiotherapy or chemotherapy is a frequently used treatment protocol in China,but the prognosis is always poor.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the differences of blood glucose detected by four methods with different instruments and specimen types at early stage in severely burned rats.Methods 24 Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into two groups:control group 1 (Sham scald group,n=8) and scald injury group 1 (n=16).Blood samples of scald injury group 1 were collected at 12,and 24 hours after scald (n=8,each time).Another 20 SD rats were randomly divided into two groups:control group 2 (Sham scald group,n=10) and scald injury group 2 (n=10).Blood samples of scald injury group 2 were collected at 12 hours after scald.The rats in scald injury group 1 and 2 were placed into scalding water (95.0±0.5)℃ for 15 seconds to model third-degree burn with 30％ total burn surface area (TBSA).The rats in scald injury group 1 were given intraperitoneal injection with normal saline(40 ml/kg) immediately,while those in scald injury group 2 were given intraperitoneal injection with normal saline (40 ml/kg) 6 hours after scald.The rats in Sham scald group 1 and 2 were placed into warm water 37℃ for 15 seconds,and did not received injection.Portable glucometer/caudal artery (vein) blood,portable glucometer/abdominal aorta blood,spectrophotometer/femoral venous plasma,and spectrophotometer/abdominal aorta plasma were used to detect blood glucose.Results ①Compared with Sham scald group 1,the levels of blood glucose detected by portable glucometer/caudal artery (vein) blood and spectrophotometer/femoral venous plasma in scald injury group1 at 12,24 hours after scald were significantly increased(P＜0.05).Compared with Sham scald group 2,the levels of blood glucose detected by portable glucometer/abdominal aorta blood and spectrophotometer/abdominal aorta plasma in scald injury group 2 at 12 hours after scald were significantly increased(P＜0.05).②The comparison of portable glucometer/caudal artery (vein) blood and spectrophotometer/femoral venous plasma in Sham scald group 1,portable glucometer/abdominal aorta blood and spectrophotometer/abdominal aorta plasma in Sham scald group 2 had no statistical significance (P＞0.05).The levels of blood glucose detected by portable glucometer/caudal artery (vein) blood were significantly lower than those detected by spectrophotometer/femoral venous plasma (P＜0.05) in scald injury group 1.The comparison of blood glucose detected by portable glucometer/abdominal aorta blood and spectrophotometer/abdominal aorta plasma had no statistical significance in scald injury group 2 (P＞0.05).Conclusion Four kinds of methods used in this study shows that the levels of blood glucose were significantly increased at early stage in severely burned rats,and the portable glucometer/abdominal aorta blood is a relatively simple and fast method to detect blood glucose.
ABSTRACT
Objective To summarize the impact factors of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) in ureteral calculi patients.Methods The data of 287 patients with ureteral calculi from January 2010 to December 2012 in the Aerospace General Hospital of Beijing who received the ESWL were retrospectively analyzed.The relationship between ESWL' s effect and patients' gender, age, the stone' s size, the stone's location, the length of the course and the stone bed' s polyps hyperplasia was analyzed.Results The Partial correlation course and chi-square test showed that, there was statistically significant difference between the ESWL treatment effect and patient' s age, patient' s length of the disease course and patient' s stone size (P＜0.01).The value of OR between patient' s age and ESWL treatment effect was 1.905, showed that with the age of the patients increased every 10 years, the success rate of ESWL was reduced by 1.905 times.The value of OR between the patient' s length of the disease course and ESWL treatment effect was 2.809,indicated that with the duration of the course of prolonged every 1 month, the ESWL success rate decreased by 2.809 times.The value of OR between stone size and ESWL effect was 2.277, showed that the ratio between the stone diameter of 1.1-2.0 cm and 0.6-1.0 cm, the ESWL success rate reduced by 2.277 times.For the surgery patients who were failure to ESWL treatment,we found that there has statistical significance between the patients' length of disease course and stone bed' s polyps hyperplasia(P＜0.01), but the relationship between the stone bed' s polyps hyperplasia and the gender, the age, the stone' s position, the stone ' s size had no statistical significance (P ＞ 0.05) .Conclusion The patient ' s age, the length of the disease course, the stone ' s size and stone' s position are significantly affect to the effect of ESWL.There have closely relationship between the length of the disease course and the stone bed' s polyps hyperplasia, which is the reason why the longer length of the course, the worse the ESWL' s effect.This has very important instructed meaning for anticipating the treatment effect by the comprehensive evaluation of the patients before ESWL treatment.
