ABSTRACT
A series of [1,3]dioxolo[4,5-f]isoindolone derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of acetylcholinesterases (AChE). Furthermore, their effects on memory impairment of mice induced by scopolamine were investigated with step-through test. The results suggested that most of the target compounds exhibited potential inhibition on AChE with IC50 values at micromolar range. Compounds I1 (IC50 value of 0.086 μmol · L(-1)) and I2 (IC50 value of 0.080 μmol · L(-1)) showed the strongest AChE inhibitory activity, which are equipotent to donepezil (IC50 value of 0.094 μmol · L(-1)). Moreover, compounds I1-I4 could improve the memory impairment induced by scopolamine in mice.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and treatment strategies of primary lactase deficiency in infants.Methods The clinical data of 26 infants with primary lactase deficiency in Shenzhen Chidlren's hospital from October 2009 to February 2011 were analyzed retrospectively and the diagnoses were confirmed by dietary therapy.Results The patients were consisted of 19 males and 7 females,whose ages of onset ranged from 1 to 2 months,persisting 1 to 4 months.Breast feeding,mixed feeding and formula feeding were given in 10 cases,8 cases and 8 cases,respectively.The main clinical manifestations were persistent or chronic diarrhea,with watery and or foamy stools,4 to 8 times per day.Nineteen patients had received antibiotics but without improvement.Lactose free formula and oral probiotics improved the symptoms within 1 week in all 26 cases,but recurrence of symptoms followed reintroduction of dairy foods.Conclusion The clinical manifestations of primary lactase deficiency in infants are persistent or chronic diarrhea.Lactose free formula can be used to confirm the diagnosis and to improve the symptoms.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effects of ischemic postconditioning and ischemic preconditioning on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury following middle cerebral artery occlusion in rats.Methods A reversible focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury was modeled using middle cerebral artery occlusion. Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into three groups (n = 10 in each group) : a cerebral ischemia-reperfusion group, an ischemic postconditioning group and an ischemic preconditioning group. The impairment of neurological function was scored and the infarct volume, the activity of superoxide dismutase and malondiadehyde (MDA) content were measured after the operation.Results In the ischemic postconditioning and preconditioning groups the neurological function was better and the infarction volume was significantly smaller compared with the model group. In the preconditioning group both infarction volume and neurological function were significantly better than in the postconditioning group. In the brain tissues of the preconditioning and postconditioning groups MDA content was lower, while the activity of superoxide dismutase was significantly higher than in the model group.Conclusions lschemic postconditioning can attenuate pathological injury induced by focal cerebral ischemia and repedusion. The neuroprotective effect induced by ischemic preconditioning is stronger than that induced by ischemic postconditioning.
ABSTRACT
@#The personnel training mode of school-enterprise cooperation, interaction of study and work is the inevitable trend of senior vocational education reform and development at present. The Changsha Social College cooperates closely with rehabilitation agencies and implements the personnel training mode of the “love to help people with disabilities, interaction of study and work, integration of courses and certificate” for training professionals of rehabilitation therapy, has gained some experience and achievements.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the relationship between relative perfusion rate assessed with power Doppler imaging (PDI) and microvessel density (MVD), as well as expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in bladder carcinoma. Methods The transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) blood flow signal of bladder carcinoma was preoperatively detected with color Doppler imaging in 45 patients, and the relative perfusion rates were obtained for analysis. MVD and the expression of VEGF of excised tumor were assessed immunohistochemically. Results There were correlation between relative perfusion rate and MVD, the expression of VEGF. MVD and the expression of VEGF were related to pathologic grade and the invasiveness of tumor tissues. The expression of VEGF in bladder carcinoma was positively correlated to the tumor interstitial vascular density. Conclusion Combination of PDI and immunohistochemical parameters is useful for evaluating the angiogensis of bladder carcinoma from a different point of view.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and nm23 proteins and microvessel density in HCC,simultaneously,their relation with metastasis was also studied.Methods The expression of VEGF and nm23 and CD34 protein in 56 HCCs were detected by immunohistochemical technique.Results Of 56 HCCs, the intensity of VEGF expression in HCCs with metastasis was significantly higher than that in HCCs without metastasis (P
