Background We undertook a study to determine whether propofol pretreatment may protect human proximal renal tubular epithelial (HK-2) cells against anoxia-reoxygenation injury and the role of p38 mitogen-activited protein kinase (p38MAPK). Methods HK-2 cells were randomly divided into 5 groups: a control group (Con); a group treated for 1 hour, cultured with with 300 μM CoCl2 normal medium for 24 hours, then stimulated with no serum media (group CoCl2); a group where the HK-2 cells were pretreated with 5μg/mL−1 propofol for 1 hour, then were treated as group (group Pro); a group where we pretreated CoCl2 the HK-2 cells with 10% intralipid 90 μL for 1 (group Int); hour, then treated as group CoCl2 and a group where we pretreated the HK-2 cells with propofol for 1 hour, 10 μmol/L−1SB203580 were (inhibitor of p38MAPK), and 300 μM CoCl2 added at the same time, then cultured with normal medium for 24 hours (group SB). Using MTT method and flow cytometry to detect the proliferation and apoptosis of HK-2 cells, the reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction method was used to investigate the regulation of Bcl-2 and caspase-3 mRNA; the expression of p38MAPK was measured by Western blot. Results After pretreated with 5 μg/mL−1 propofol, HK-2 cell proliferation increased and apoptosis decreased ( P <0.05 or 0.01). Intralipid did not effect HK-2 cells, the expression of Bcl-2 gene was upregulated, and caspase-3 gene was down-regulated. Meanwhile, the expression of p38MAPK was upregulated after propofol pretreament. These regulations can be reversed by SB203580 ( P <0.05 or 0.01) with no difference between group Int and group CoCl2. Conclusion Pretreatment with 5μg/mL−1 propofol protected HK-2 cells against anoxia-reoxygenation injury at clinically relevant concentrations by regulating the expression of apoptosis related genes. P38MAPK plays an important role in propofol protective effect.

1. Important clinical information includes neck pain, the absence of fever or focal neurologic signs, and syncopal episode. The most striking laboratory findings include the abnormal chemical and cytologic analysis of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sample (hypoglycorrhachia, proteinorrhachia, and pleocytosis) and mild hyperglycemia. 2. Hypoglycorrhachia: The CSF is normally a clear, colorless, and virtually acellular fluid that is actively produced by the choroid plexus and ependymal cells lining the central nervous system (CNS) ventricles and subarachnoidal space through a process of ultrafiltration of plasma. Glucose levels in the CSF are 60% to 70% those of the serum; therefore, comparison between both values is paramount in interpreting abnormal results. Increased CSF glucose (hyperglycorrhachia) may be seen in the context of hyperglycemia or be due to a traumatic tap. Conversely, decreased CSF glucose (hypoglycorrhachia) is commonly found in untreated bacterial, fungal, tuberculous, or amoebic meningitis, and rarely in some viral CNS infections (particulary those caused by mumps and lymphocytic choriomeningitis viruses). Other causes of hypoglycorrhachia include CNS sarcoidosis and neoplasms (primary or metastatic). Proteinorrhachia: The normal CSF protein level is about 1% of the serum protein level. Increased levels are seen with most infections involving the meninges and the CNS, but are Clinical History

Background Whole blood choline (WBCHO) concentrations reflect phospholipase D activation pathways involved in coronary plaque vulnerability and platelet activation suppressed by glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor (GP IIb/IIIa) inhibitors, but it is unknown whether this treatment affects serial WBCHO levels. Methods We performed a retrospective matched pairs analysis of 32 patients with acute coronary syndrome treated either with standard therapy alone or with tirofiban plus standard therapy with serial measurements of WBCHO. Results The median level of choline decreased after 4 to 6 hours in the tirofiban group (21.2 μmol/L) while the median level in the group without tirofiban increased (29.3 μmol/L) and WBCHO was significantly lower in tirofiban treated patients ( P =0.039). Over time, the decrease of WBCHO was significant in the tirofiban group only ( P =0.006). Conclusions Our results suggest that in patients with acute coronary syndrome, tirofiban treatment is associated with a significant reduction of WBCHO concentration.

The myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) are a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by hemopoietic insufficiency associated with cytopenias due to dysfunctional hematopoietic stem cells. Myelodysplastic syndromes sometimes progress to acute myelogenous leukemia. The cytopenias caused by MDS lead to serious complications such as bleeding, infections, and symptomatic anemia. Cytogenetic abnormalities in MDS patients have an important role in categorizing these syndromes and are important in predicting prognosis and treatment response.
