Objective:To evaluate the therapeutic effects of Tolvaptan on refractory heart failure in patients aged 75 years and older.Methods:This was a randomized controlled trial.A total of 68 patients with refractory heart failure aged 75 years and older were divided into the control group(n=38)and the experimental group(n=30)by randomly generated numbers.Patients in the control group were given levosimendan and recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide intravenously plus routine treatments such as diuresis and electrolyte correction.In the experimental group, 30 patients were given a single dose of 15 mg Tolvaptan per day in addition to what was received by the control group.The effects on heart failure were compared between the two groups 1 week after treatment.Changes in rehospitalization rate, emergency intervention frequency and mortality rate were recorded after a 3-month follow-up.Results:Clinical symptoms of heart failure were alleviated in both the experimental and control groups after treatment.Improvements in 24-h urine volume, body weight and 6-minute walking distance were more significant in the experimental group than in the control group after treatment[(1 470.5±200.6)ml vs.(972.5±201.7)ml, (-6.4±2.1)kg vs.(-2.8±1.9)kg, (189.3±13.7)m vs.(151.3±12.5)m, P<0.05]. Changes in serum sodium levels and improvement of LVEF were greater and reduction of N-terminal B-type brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)levels was more significant in the experimental group than in the control group after treatment[(5.2±2.1)μmol/L vs.(-1.1±2.4)μmol/L, (10.1±4.1)% vs.(7.0±4.0)%, (-6 670±1 815.7)ng/L vs.(-5 025.3±1 876.7)ng/L, P<0.05]. There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups( P>0.05). The experimental group had shorter hospital stays, while the rehospitalization rate, emergency intervention times and mortality had no significant difference between the two groups during the follow-up period( P>0.05). Conclusions:Addition of Tolvaptan to treatment can increase urine volume, improve cardiac function, correct hyponatremia and shorten the length of hospitalization in refractory heart failure patients aged 75 years and older with good safety and has no significant impact on renal function.

BACKGROUND:The linkage and synergistic effect of adaptor proteins can effectively regulate signal transduction of T cel s, which can form a limit or amplification cascade to realize the complex immune function of T cel s. C-terminal Src kinase (Csk)-binding protein (Cbp) is an adaptor protein, which mainly exert the negative feedback regulation of Src kinase activity. This negative feedback effect depends on Y317 of Cbp, which may be involved in the SH2 domain of Csk. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of high expression of Cbp on ultrastructure and related biological function of Jurkat cel s. METHODS:The virus particles were constructed with expressing enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) only and Cbp-EGFP fusion protein to transfect Jurkat cel s. There were untransfected group (Jurkat group), negative control group (transfected with expression of EGFP virus only), and Cbp group (transfected with Cbp-EGFP virus). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Confocal microscope showed that cel transfection efficiency was more than 95%and Cbp was located on the cel membrane. Optical microscope showed after transfection with Cbp-EGFP virus, more Jurkat cel s shrunk, with poor size uniformity. Apoptosis detection showed that after transfection with Cbp-EGFP virus, the number of apoptotic and necrotic cel s was greatly increased. Cbp mRNA expression was increased, Csk expression was decreased obviously and lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase expression was increased. So, in Jurkat cel s, the high expression of Cbp can decrease the uniformity of cel s and increase the necrosis cel s, thus inhibiting the signal transduction.

Objective:To investigate the effects of chitin on atopic dermatitis in an OVA induced AD murine model.Methods:Twenty-eight BALB/c mice were randomly divided into three groups:the normal control group (N)(8),the chitin group(E) (10) and the AD model group(M)(10).The murine model of atopic dermatitis was established through intraperitoneal injection of OVA followed by repeated epicutaneous application of OVA on mice back skin( AD model group).During the set up of AD murine model,mice of the chitin group were given intragastric gavage of 3 mg/d for 4 weeks.At the end of the experiment, the mice were sacrificed and skin lesions were biopsied for histological study.HE and O-toluidine stained paraffin sections were observed under microscope.The spleen cells were cultured and challenged with OVA and chitin,respectively,the supernatant was obtained for cytokine determination.Serum levels of total and OVA-specific IgE and total IgG2a were determined with ELISA.Results:Chitin significantly inhibited skin inflammation induced by OVA.Compared with the AD model group,the thickness of the epidermis and dermis in the chitin group were obviously decreased.The numbers of dermal infiltrated inflammatory cells,eosinophils and mast cells were significantly decreased in the chitin group compared with the AD model group ( P<0.05-0.001 ).The serum level of total IgE and OVA-specific IgE were significantly lower in the chitin group than in the AD model group(P<0.05-0.001),while the serum level of IgG2a in the chitin group was significantly higher than that of the AD model group( P<0.001).The cultured spleen cells of the chitin group produced significantly higher levels of IL-12 and IFN-γ,but lower level of IL-4 compared with those of the AD model group after OVA challenge (P<0.05).Conclusion:Chitin can inhibit the inflammation and decease the seum level of IgE in the murine AD model.The antiallergic effect of chitin might be associated with the induced production of Th1 type cytokines by mice spleen cells.

Aim To investigate the influence and molecular mechanism of C-phycocyanin(CPC) from Spirulina platensis on apoptosis of HeLa cells in vitro.Methods Firstly,the effect of purified CPC on proliferation of HeLa cells in vitro was determined by MTT assay,and then electron microscope was exploited to observe the characteristic apoptotic features of cells treated with CPC.Subsequently,genomic DNA changes of HeLa cells were observed by agarose electrophoresis.Flow cytometric analysis revealed the influence of different concentrations of CPC on cell cycle of HeLa cells.The expressions of apoptosis related genes of CPC treated HeLa cells were determined by immunohistochemistry analysis.In addition,the activities of caspases and the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria into the cytosol were detected.Results Compared with control cells untreated with CPC,a significant decreased in the numbers of HeLa cells in survival treated with CPC and concentration dose effects existed.CPC could induce characteristic apoptotic features including cell shrinkage,membrane blebbing,microvilli loss,chromatin margination and condensation into dense granules or blocks.DNA of HeLa cells treated with CPC showed fragmentation pattern(DNA ladder of oligomers of 180~200 bp) typical for apoptotic cells.HeLa cells treated with different concentrations of CPC demonstrated an increasing percentage of cells in sub-G0/G1 phase.In addition,CPC could promote the expression of pro-apoptotic gene(Fas and ICAM-1);meanwhile,held back the anti-apoptotic gene(Bcl-2) expression,and then facilitated the transduction of tumoral apoptosis signals that resulted in the apoptosis of HeLa cells in vitro.In CPC treated HeLa cells,CPC treatment of HeLa cells also resulted in activation of caspases and release of cytochrome C from mitochondria into the cytosol.Conclusion C-phycocyanin from Spirulina platensis can induce the apoptosis of HeLa cells in vitro.By virtue of the promotion of the apoptosis signals transduction in HeLa,CPC realizes its antitumor activities.
