RESUMO
Objective To analyze the clinical effect of probucol in prevention of contrast induced nephropathy(CIN) after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods 96 patients with coronary heart disease requiring PCI surgery in our hospital were selected as the research subjects, and they were randomly divided into control group(48 cases) and observation group(48 cases).Both two groups were given traditional treatment, besides this, the observation group was given additional probucol (3 d treatment before and after operation,0.5 g/time,2 times/d).The renal function indicators such as serum creatinine (Scr), cystatin C(CysC), blood urea nitrogen(Bun), estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR), and the expression levels of C-reactive protein(CRP),interleukin-6(IL-6) and malondialdehyde(MAD) in the two groups 24 h,48 h, 72 h before and after PCI were observed and compared.And the adverse reactions during operation in the two groups were also recorded and compared.Results There were no significant differences in Scr,CysC,Bun and eGFR between the two groups before opertion(t=0.149,P=0.882;t=1.75,P=0.243;t=0.019,P=0.985).12 h after operation, the Scr,CysC,Bun and eGFR levels in the two groups were gradually increased,48 h post-treatment, the levels reached to the peak and showed a downward trend 72 h after operation;compared with the control group, the rise and decline in the observation group were more greater, and the differences were statistically significant (t=3.242,P=0.002;t=9.532,P<0.001;t=9.073,P<0.001;t=2.896,P<0.001).There were no significant differences in CRP,IL-6 and MAD between the two groups before operation (t=0.321,P=0.749;t=0.014,P=0.989;t=0.188,P=0.850).24 h after operation, the CRP,IL-6 and MAD levels in the two groups were gradually increased,48 h post treatment, the levels reached to the peak and showed a downward trend 72 h after operation;compared with the control group, the rise and decline in the observation group were more greater, and the differences were statistically significant (t=8.495,P=0.002;t=7.532,P<0.00;t=16.216,P<0.001).There were no obvious adverse reactions during operation in the two groups.Conclusion Probucol not only has lipid-regulating and atherosclerotic effects on patients with coronary heart disease, but also has certain preventive and clinical effects to CIN after PCI.Thus, it can be considered as a preferred drug for clinical prevention and treatment of CIN.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the miRNA change between hypothermia circulatory arrest at different temperature and its impact on intestinal protection.Methods Sixteen piglets were randomly(n =4) divided into four groups:deep hypothermia circulatory arrest (DHCA,18℃) group,moderate hypothermia circulatory arrest(MHCA,24℃) group,cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB) group and sham operation(SO) group.They were subjected to 80 min hypothermia circulatory arrest,305 min CPB or thoracotomy,respectively.Pick-and-mix custom miRNA real-time PCR panels were utilized to detect intestinal samples.miRNA expression between DHCA and MHCA were compared directly(DHCA vs.MHCA) and indirectly(DHCA/SO vs.MHCA/SO,DHCA/CPB vs.MHCA/CPB).Results Exposure to DHCA caused less intestinal miRNA dysregulation than MHCA.Besides,seven miRNAs(miR-122,miR-145-5p,miR-421-5p,miR-99a,miR-365-5p,miR-31 and miR-192)were differentially expressed between the two hypothermia circulatory arrest groups.Conclusion Better intestinal miRNA protection was provided by DHCA than MHCA.Intestinal miRNA were differentially expressed between hypothermia circulatory arrest at different temperature.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the status of C57BL/6J mouse brown fat adipogenic differentiation function with aging.Methods C57BL/6J female and male mice at the ages of 0-week (newborn),4-week,8-week,12-week old were selected from the same brood,brown adipose tissue was obstained from their interscapular region,and the brown adipose was identified by using immunohistochemical markers.Then the total RNA was extracted from the brown adipose and quality identification was determined at the same time.The expression levels of the related genes (PPARα,C/EBPα,PGC-1α,PPARγ,FOXC2,BMP7) induced by brown adipose adipogenic differentiation were detected by quantitative real-time PCR in 0-week,4-week,8-week,12-week mice.Results Uncoupling protein -1 (UCP1) immunohistochemical data indicated that positive deep-colour substance was brown adipose tissue.Quantitative Real-time PCR also indicated that the expression volume of adipogenesis gene gradually reduced with aging,and there were significant differences at the different time points [PPARα (F =11.96,P ＜ 0.000 1),C/EBPα (F =9.39,P ＜0.000 1),PGC-1α(F =17.21,P ＜0.000 1),PPARγ(F =13.11,P ＜0.000 1),FOXC2(F =12.23,P ＜0.000 1),BMP7(F =16.44,P ＜0.000 1)].Conclusions The adipogenic differentiation ability and activity of mouse brown adipose gradually reduce with aging.But the regulatory factors for its function needs to be further investigated.
RESUMO
Objective To observe the effect of Triclosan( TCS) exposure on Caenorhabditis elegans( c. ele-gans) F1 generation of locomotory behavior, brood size, and generation time. Methods The trial included a control group and 4 TCS treatment groups with different doses (100 nmol/L,1 μmol/L,10μmol/L,20μmol/L),the exposure time being 24 hours,the effect of c. elegans′head thrashes,body bending frequency,the brood size and generation time was observed. Results (1) The control group exposed to 100 nmol/L,1 μmol/L,10 μmol/L,20 μmol/L TCS,their head thrash frequency of c. elegans F1 was(109. 40±8. 61) times/min,(84. 70±7. 82) times/min,(76. 35±7. 44) times/min,(74. 74±5. 93)times/min,(71. 95±4. 19)times/min,respectively,the head thrash ability of c. elegans was significantly inhibited(F=62. 245,P<0. 01). (2) When the control group was exposed to 100 nmol/L,1 μmol/L,10μmol/L,20 μmol/LTCS,the frequency of c.elegans F1 body bent was (19.94±2.46)times/20 s,(15.13±1.99) times/20 s,(14.63±2.31)times/20 s,(14.69±1.96)times/20 s,(12.00±1.86)times/20 s,respectively,and the comparative differences between groups were statistically significant(F=25. 636,P<0. 01). (3) When the control group was exposed to 0,100 nmol/L,1 μmol/L,10 μmol/L,20 μmol/L TCS,the body sizes of the c. elegans F1 generation was (286.83±6.01)articles,(273.33±6.41)articles,(214.17±7.25)articles,(173.67±9.20)articles, (118. 50 ± 6. 98 ) articles, respectively, the brood size of the C. elegans F1 generation exposed to 100 nmol/L, 1μmol/L,10 μmol/L,20 μmol/L TCS levels,were reduced by 4. 71%,25. 60%,39. 45%,58. 67%,the ge-neration time of the c. elegans′F1 generation was shortened by 2. 14%-5. 38% in the TCS treatment groups compared with the control group(F=27. 520,P<0. 01). Conclusions After c. elegans exposure to TCS,locomotory behavior can be severe-ly affected,reproductive damage causes a decline in the number of brood size,and the speeding-up of the breeding rate is related to the concentration of TCS concentration-response.
RESUMO
Objective To predict the disease progression risks of healthy rhesus ( normal) and rhesus infected with simian immunodeficiency virus ( SIV) in the stages of long-term nonprogressor ( LTNP) , normal progressor ( NP) , rapid progressor ( RP) by discriminant analysis. Methods Five-year observation was carried out in SIV infected rhesus model without any intervention. The SIV infected rhesus model at the stages of LTNP, NP, RP were selected, 10 in each group, and T lymphocyte subsets and serum parameters for spleen-deficiency syndrome and kidney-deficiency syndrome in SIV infected rhesus were compared with 5 healthy monkey having the same survival time. The influence factors of different types of disease progression were screened from T cell subsets and Chinese medical syndrome indexes, and then the discriminant equation was established to predict the risks. Results White blood cell ( WBC) count and lymphocyte ( LYM) ratio were enrolled into the discriminant equation before infection, and T4 level and Log10RNA of set point were enrolled into the discriminant equation in the platform period. The test results for the uniform rate of the established discriminant function showed that the total coincidence rate of theoretic distinguish to the actual data was 57.1% , 91.2%respectively before infection and in the platform period. Conclusion The pre-infection WBC count and LYM ratio can be used as a reference for the evaluation of different types of disease progresson, and Log10RNA and T4 level at platform phase can be used as the predicting factors of different types of disease progression risk prediction.
