OBJECTIVE:To investigate the first-pass effect and mechanism of vitexin-4′-O-glucoside(VG)in rats so as to pro-vide a basis for new drug development. METHODS:10 SD rats were divided into a group of hepatic portal venous administration and a group of femoral venous administration,which respectively received VG iv at superior mesenteric vein and femoral vein,and then metabolic rate was calculated by finding out the AUC of VG in the rats’livers. 15 SD rats were divided into a group of gastric infusion,a group of intestinal infusion and a group of hepatic portal venous infusion,which respectively received VG by infusion at gastric fundus and duodenum and iv at superior mesenteric vein,and then metabolic rate was calculated by finding out the AUC of VG in the rats’stomachs and intestines. 15 SD rats were divided into a group of intestinal infusion,a group of femoral venous administration and a group of normal saline. At 10 min before administration,the former two groups were given by infusion vera-pamil injection(60 ml/kg),the substrate of CYP3A and P-glycoprotein(P-gp);and the group of normal saline were given by infu-sion of isometric normal saline,and then the rats were given VG as above to observe the effect of verapamil on intestinal absorp-tion of VG. RESULTS:The metabolic rates of VG in the liver,stomach and intestine were 54.9%,1.7% and 91.9% respectively. After infusion of verapamil,slight increase in AUC of VG was found in the rats in the group of intestinal infusion. CONCLU-SIONS:The first-pass effects in the liver and intestine are the main factors related to the low bioavailability of VG. Based on pre-liminary judgment,VG is the substrate of intestinal CYP3A and/or P-gp.

BACKGROUND:Arsenic trioxide is considered to inhibit the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cel s and promote cel apoptosis. Therefore, we wondered whether the arsenic can inhibit the hyperplasia of vascular smooth muscle cel s, an arsenic-coated stent can be compatible with the vascular tissue, and a better vascular intimal coverage as early as possible can reduce intimal hyperplasia.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the vascular histocompatibility of the arsenic-coated stent.
METHODS:Fourteen white rabbits were randomized into two groups and respectively subject to the implantation of arsenic-coated 316 L stainless steel stents and bare 316 L stainless steel stents into the abdominal aorta. After 28 days, the distal and proximal parts of the vessel at the implantation site were ligated and the ligated vessel was taken for hematoxylin-eosin staining and light microscope observation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Gross observation:the vessel at the stent site was a little larger than the adjacent vessels in the outer diameter, which was expanded but had no visible thrombus. After cutting the stent, the neointima formed smoothly on the stent surface. (2) Light microscope observation:the stent was located in the middle of the vessel, the medial smooth muscle was pressed, and vascular intimal smooth muscle hyperplasia was found around the stent, thereby thickening the vascular intima. The vascular neointima formed and covered the stent, and there was a thin black layer between the stent and the vascular tissue, which consisted of arsenic and its compounds. These findings suggest that the arsenic-coated stents can be covered with vascular tissues, possessing good vascular histocompatibility.

Objective To compare the effects of two different parenteral nutrition solutions on nutritional status of premature infants,such as the early physical,serum prealbumin,retinol binding protein and albumin.Methods We collected 61 cases of premature infants in neonatal intensive care unit of the Third Military Medical University Xinqiao Hospital,which were divided into 2 groups of traditional parenteral nutrition (TTPN) and early parenteral nutrition (ETPN).Group TTPN geted 6％ paediatric compound amino acid 0.5 g/(kg·d) at24 hours after birth,daily increasing 0.25 ～0.5 g/(kg·d),up to 3.0 g/(kg·d).The 20％ long-chain fat emulsion 0.5 g/(kg ·d) was applied at 3 days after birth,daily increasing 0.25 ～ 0.5 g/(kg·d),up to 3.0 g/(kg·d).Group ETPN get 6％ paediatric compound amino acid 1 g/(kg·d) at 12 ～24 hours after birth,daily increasing 0.5 g/(kg·d),up to 3.0 ～ 0.5 g/(kg· d).The 20％ long-chain fat emulsion 0.5 ～ 1.0 g/(kg·d) was applied after 24 hours after birth,daily increasing 0.5 g/(kg· d),up to 3.0 g/(kg· d).We calculate calorie and amino acid intake of the two groups,and compared the weight,length,head circumference growth,serum prealbumin,retinol-binding protein and albumin levels of the two groups.Results The amino acid and total caloric intake of Group ETPN were significantly higher than those of Group TTPN (P ＜ 0.05).No statistical differences in the albumin,prealbumin,and retinol binding protein level of the two groups at birth (P ＞ 0.05).However,the prealbumin and retinol-binding protein level of group ETPN significantly higher than those of Group TTPN (P ＜ 0.05) at 7 days after birth.Conclusion Early parenteral nutrition in early life can effectively improve physical growth and nutrient metabolism status of premature infants.Prealbumin and retinol-binding protein are sensitive to evaluate the protein nutritional status in premature infants.

Objective: To establish and evaluate a domestic Chemiluminescence immunoassay(CLIA) for detecting serum human epididymis protein4(HE4). Methods: To establish a double antibody sandwich CLIA for the determination of serum HE4. Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were used to label two different monoclonal antibodies of HE4. The separation could be realized by the magnetic particles coated with anti-FITC antibodies. Measure the relative light unit (RLU) after adding substrate solution, the RLU is proportional to the concentration of HE4. After evaluating the analytical performance including sensitivity, precision, accuracy, linearity, specificity under the optimized condition, this study compared the method with the commerical HE4 kits as well. Results: The precision of with-in lot , and with-out lot are less than 4.0% and 5.0% respectively; Recovery is within 90.0%-110.0%; LoB is 5.0 pmol/L; functional sensitivity is 15.0 pmol/L; measure range is 15.0-1 500.0 pmol/L; the Correlation coefficient is bigger than 0.99 comparing with commercial kits. The AUC(area under curve) of three methods is 0.895, 0.900 and 0.896 respectively. Conclusions This study established a sensitive CLIA method with high repeatability and wide measure range; it has good correlation with commercial HE4 test kits.(Chin J Lab Med, 2018, 41: 615-620)

Objective To explore the effect of Lee-Silverman voice treatment (LSVT) on language re-habilitation of dysarthria in Parkinson's disease (PD).Methods A total of 84 patients with PD dysarthria ad-mitted to our hospital from February 2019 to February 2022 were selected as the research objects.According to the random number table method,they were divided into observation group and control group,with 42 cases in each group.The control group received routine speech rehabilitation training,and the observation group re-ceived LSVT for four weeks.The scores of Western Aphasia Battery (WAB) and Aphasia Quotient (AQ) be-fore and after intervention were compared between the two groups,and the differences of electroglottographic parameters such as jitter,F0,shimmer,normalized noise energy (NNE) and harmonic noise ratio (HNR) were compared between the two groups.Results Before intervention,there was no significant difference in WAB scores (listening comprehension,repetition,spontaneous speech,naming) and AQ scores between the two groups (P>0.05).After intervention,the above scores of the two groups were significantly improved,and the observation group was higher than the control group,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Before intervention,the jitter,F0,shimmer,NNE,HNR of vowels "a""i""u" in the two groups were not sta-tistically significant (P>0.05).After intervention,the above-mentioned electroglottic parameters of the two groups were significantly improved.The jitter and NNE of vowels "a""i""u" in the observation group were lower than those in the control group,and the HNR was higher than that in the control group,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion LSVT can improve the electroglottographic parameters and speech function of patients with PD dysarthria,and the language rehabilitation effect of PD dysarthria is obvious.

Atherosclerosis is a chronic systemic inflammatory disease caused by the interaction of environment and genetic factors. Epigenetic modification is a bridge between environmental factors and genetic factors. DNA methylation is an important regulatory mode of epigenetic modification, which can regulate gene expression at the pre-transcriptional level. Studies have shown that DNA methylation plays an important role in the occurrence and development process of atherosclerosis. Therefore, atherosclerosis-related DNA demethylation, especially carotid atherosclerosis-related DNA demethylation, can be achieved by natural or synthetic DNA demethylases, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing or treating atherosclerotic cerebrovascular disease. This article reviews DNA methylation and its relationship with atherosclerosis and DNA demethylation therapy.
