RESUMEN
Objective: To investigate the expression of gluconeogenic enzymes phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) and G-6-Pase mRNA of hepatic tissue in rats with intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) and to explore the molecular mechanism of insulin resistance in IUGR rats. Methods: Pregnant rats were randomly divided into 2 groups: a normal group and a model group. hTe normal group were fed with 21% protein forage and the model group with 10% low protein forage to obtain IUGR pup rats. hTe pup rats were introduced to the normal group and the IUGR group prospectively. At 1, 3 and 8 weeks, the body weight, blood glucose, insulin concentration andinsulin resistance index of the pup rats were measured. Expression of PEPCK and G-6-Pase mRNA were detected by RT-PCR. Results: The birth weight of the IUGR group was significantly lower than that of the normal group (P0.05). The hepatic expression of PEPCK and G-6-Pase mRNA in the IUGR group was significantly higher than that of the normal group at 1, 3 and 8 weeks (P<0.01). Conclusion: The significantly increased expression of PEPCK and G-6-Pase mRNA of hepatic tissue in IUGR rats may increase gluconeogenesis, which is probably one of the molecular mechanisms of insulin resistance and diabetes in IUGR.
RESUMEN
To study the changes in skeletal muscle structure and insulin resistance of low birth weight rats.The low birth weight filial rat model was established by feeding low protein diet to the pregnant rat during gestation.At 7 d,21 d,and 2 months,blood glucose and serum insulin were measured,and the structure of skeletal muscle was observed.From 7 d to 2 months,the muscle fibers of low birth weight rat were atrophic and arranged in disorder.The ultrastructure of skeletal muscle was also abnormal distinctly at 2 months.No differences of blood glucose and rerum insulin were found between the two groups.
RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate therapeutic effects of ganciclovir on neonatal congenital CMV infection.Methods 40 cases of neonatal congenital CMV infection was divided into experimental group with ganciclovir(n=18) and control group with general treatment(n=22).The patients of experimental group were treated with higher dosage of ganciclovir:induced treatment 7 5mg/kg,intravenous drip every 12 hours,continous using for 14 days,then maintenance treatment,10mg/kg intravenous drip every day,for 3-day every week,maintenance treatment 2～3months.The patients of control group was treated with routine mehtod.Later on clinical situation,laboratory examination and virology result were compared in the two groups.Result There were significantly differences of clinical situation,laboratory examination and virology test result between posttreatment and pretreatment in experimental group(P0 05).Conclusions Using higher dosage,full course ganciclovir treating neonatal congenital CMV infection have remarkably efficacy in early the disease at the onset,so can be widespread in clinical practice.
RESUMEN
Objective To observe the influence of L-Arg supplementation during early postnatal life on renal function of rats with intrauterine growth retardation(IUGR).Mehod Afer establishment of IUGR model with 10% protein diet,rats were divided randomly into 2 groups: IUGR group and L-Arg treated group(LT group).Normal control group(NC group) rats were fed with 20% protein diet.The level of NO,Cr in serum were measured from 1 w to 3 months and UCr,24 h-proteinuria were measured from 3 w to 3 months.Results(1)The levels of serum NO reduced significantly in group IUGR at every stage,not significantly different between group LT and NC,but more in group LT than in group IUGR.(2)The levels of 24h-proteinuria had no significant difference among three groups at 3 w and 2 month,but was significantly higher in group IUGR than group LT and group NC.(3)The Cr levels had no significant difference at every stage among three groups.The UCr level was decreased in group IUGR than group NC at 2 month and than group NC and LT at 3 month.(4)The level of CCr in group IUGR was decreased significantly at 3 w,2 month and 3 month than group LT and group NC.Conclusion L-Arg can increase serum NO and CCr levels and decrease the level of 24h-proteinuria in rats with IUGR.It is one of the important reasons to increase 24h-proteinuria and reduce CCr level for low NO value.
