ABSTRACT
Objective To detect different animal erythrocyte hemolysins titer,and compare the application of these hemolysins in immunological experimental teaching,for selecting the better method of preparing high titer hemolysin for experimental teaching of medical immunology.Methods A total of 40 experiment rabbits were divided into 4 groups in this study,and immunized by sheep red blood cell(SRBC) and porcine red blood cell(PRBC) through different immunization procedures to prepare the hemolysin,detect and compare these 4 groups hemolysins titer by the complement hemolysis test.Results Rabbit Anti-SRBC in the group A was 1∶4 800,rabbit Anti-PRBC in the group B was 1∶1 200,rabbit Anti-SRBC in the group C was 1∶1 000,rabbit Anti-PRBC in the group D was 1∶200.Conclusion The hemolysin titer of the rabbit Anti-PRBC was lower than that of the rabbit Anti-SRBC by the same immunization procedures,and the immunization procedure by intradermal multi-point and auricular vein injection is the better method of preparing high titer hemolysin,so PRBC could replace SRBC as antigen,and immunize the rabbits for preparing hemolysin,which could be used in experimental teaching of medical immunology.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of probiotics on the blood lipid metabolism of elderly patients with coronary artery disease (CHD).Methods The clinical data of 100 elderly CHD patients who were admitted in our hospital from May 2012 ～November 2015 were collected.The enrolled patients were randomly divided into observation group and control group,50 cases in each group.All patients were routinely given medication for secondary prevention of CHD,patients in the observation group were additionally given oral probiotics.Then we observed the changes in the lipid levels of patients before and after 12 weeks treatment.Results The serum total cholesterol (TC),triglyceride (TG),low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) of patients in the observation group were improved more significantly than the control group,the difference was significant (P＜0.05).The serum total High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was improved more significantly than the control group.Conclusion Probiotics adjuvant therapy can significantly improve the blood lipid indexes in elderly CHD patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the significance of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 test for assessing the occurrence and development of chronic heart failure.Methods One hundred and twenty-seven patients with chronic heart failure were enrolled in the observation group,and 40 cases community health people were selected for the control group. The levels of serum MMP-9 and TIMP-1 were detected and the LVEF and E/E ' were evaluated using endocardiography. Results Compared with the control group, the level of MMP-9 was significantly higher (<0.01) but the level of TIMP-1 had significantly decreased ( <0.05) in the observation group. And the ratio of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 had significantly increased compared with the control group ( <0.05) . There were statistically significant differences of LVEF and E/E' between the observation group and control group ( <0.05) . In the observation group,the level of MMP-9, MMP-9/TIMP-1,LVEF and E/E' were increased but the level of TIMP-1 decreased significantly in cases with cardiac functional class III compared with cardiac function class II (<0.05) . There were significant differences between the cases with class IV heart function and class II, III in the levels of MMP-9, TIMP-1 and MMP-9/TIMP-1 ( <0.05) . In the cases of class IV heart function, the LVEF and E/E' have significantly increased compared with the cases of class II ( <0.05) . MMP-9 + TIMP-1 +MMP-9/TIMP-1 combination has higher sensitivity and specificity than the MMP-9,TIMP-1 and MMP-9/TIMP-1 single indicator, and the joint diagnostic value of LVEF + E/E' was less than that of IL-18+ NT-ProBNP. Conclusion The levels of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 and their ratio may have contributed to the early detection and diagnosis for chronic heart failure,and help to determine the disease progression.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the clinical efficacy of naloxone combined with edaravone on acute alcoholism. Methods One hundred and twenty-five patients with acute alcoholism were randomly divided into the control and treatment groups. The control group accepted conventional treatment and taking naloxone, while the treatment group accepted edaravone on the basis. Before and after treatment,the treatment recovery time,recovery respiratory rate time and symptom disappearance time were recorded. The malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), S-100βand vascular cell adhesion points-1 (VCAM-1) were detected. Results After treatment,the recovery time and recovery respiratory rate time of the treatment group were significantly shorter than those of the control group ( <0.05) . In the control group, S-100β was significantly improved after treatment ( <0.05) . NSE, S-100β, VCAM-1 and MDA have significantly decreased ( <0.05) after treatment in the treatment group. Compared with the control group, there were significant differences of S-100β,VCAM-1 and MDA in the treatment group before and after treatment (<0.05) . While SOD and GSH have significantly increased ( <0.05) after treatment and showed significant differences compared with the control group ( <0.05) . Conclusion Naloxone and edaravone combination therapy can improve oxidative stress and nerve damage, which help early rehabilitation in patients with acute alcoholism.
