OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical efficacy of alprostadil combined with edaravone in the treatment of unsta-ble angina pectoris(UAP),and their effects on serum oxidative stress indexes,the levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9. METHODS:Be-sides conventional treatment,control group was treated with Alprostadil injection 2 ml added into 0.9% Sodium chloride injection (NS)100 ml,ivgtt,qd;while observation group was additionally treated with Edaravone injection 15 ml added into NS 100 ml, ivgtt,qd. Treatment courses of 2 groups lasted for 2 weeks. The frequency and duration of UAP attack,serum levels of MDA, SOD,TAC,MMP-2 and MMP-9 levels were observed 2 groups;the occurrence of ADR was also observed. RESULTS:There was no statistical significance in frequency of angina pectoris attack,duration,MDA,SOD,TAC,MMP-2 and MMP-9 between 2 groups before treatment (P>0.05). After treatment,the total effective rate of observation group (94.3%) was significantly higher than that of control group(81.4%). The frequency of angina pectoris attack and the level of MDA,were significantly reduced,and the duration of angina pectoris was significantly shortened SOD and TAC increased significantly;the change of observation group was more significant than that of control group with statistical significance(P<0.05). ADR was mild in 2 groups;there was no statisti-cal significance in the incidence of ADR(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Alprostadil combined with edaravone is significantly effec-tive for UAP,reduces the frequency of angina,shortens the duration of angina pectoris,alleviates oxidative stress and reduces se-rum levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 with good safety.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of the peripheral blood monocyte human leukocyte antigen-DR (mHLA-DR) for assessment of degree of severity and the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis (AP). Methods A case-control study was conducted. Eighty-six AP patients admitted to Shandong Liaocheng People's Hospital from June 2014 to May 2015 were enrolled. Patients were classified into four groups [mild (n = 33), moderate (n = 25), severe (n = 16), critical (n = 12)] according to the disease classification. Eighty healthy persons subjected to physical examination center of our hospital at the same time were served as controls. Acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) scores in patients were estimated. Flow cytometry was used to measure the expression of the peripheral blood mHLA-DR, and the Pearson method was used to analyze the relationship between the level of mHLA-DR and the APACHE Ⅱ score. The receiver-operating characteristic curve (ROC) was plotted, and then the clinical value of the peripheral blood mHLA-DR was analyzed for the diagnostic value in AP patients. Results The expression of the mHLA-DR in patients with AP was significantly lower than that of healthy control group [(63.7±18.6)% vs. (86.4±8.3)%, t = 5.319, P < 0.001]. The expression levels of the mHLA-DR in mild group, moderate group, severe group, and critical group were (79.6±6.5)%, (66.4±9.4)%, (49.9±8.1)%, (32.5±12.0)%, respectively, and the APACHE Ⅱ score were 4.67±1.99, 5.88±2.05, 9.06±2.62, 12.33±3.96, respectively. Pair wise comparisons were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The HLA-DR expression level in the peripheral blood of patients with AP was negatively correlated with the APACHE Ⅱ score (r = -0.695, P < 0.001). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of mHLA-DR expression in peripheral blood for AP was 0.894 [95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.847-0.941, P < 0.001], and the cut-off point was 84.40%, with the sensitivity of 75.0%, the specificity of 90.7%, and the accuracy rate of 83.1%. The AUC of mHLA-DR expression for mild AP was 0.938 (95%CI = 0.889-0.987, P < 0.001), and the cut-off point was 72.70%, with the sensitivity of 87.9%, the specificity of 88.7%, and the accuracy rate of 88.4%. The AUC of mHLA-DR expression for severe and critical AP was 0.943 (95%CI = 0.881-1.005, P < 0.001), and the cut-off point was 57.85%, with the sensitivity of 84.0%, the specificity of 96.4%, and the accuracy rate of 90.6%. Conclusions The expression levels of the peripheral blood mHLA-DR in AP patients can reflect the degree of disease, and contribute to the diagnosis of AP. The value of mHLA-DR may be used as a new biological indicator in the diagnosis and assessment for the severity of AP.

In the present study, an ultra performance liquid chromatography coupled with time-of-fight mass spectrometry (UPLC-TOF/MS) based chemical profiling approach was used to evaluate chemical constitution between co-decoction and mixed decoction of ginseng and Radix Aconiti Praeparata. Two different kinds of decoctions, namely co-decoction of ginseng and Radix Aconiti Praeparata: water extract of mixed two herbs, and mixed decoction of ginseng and Radix Aconiti Praeparata: mixed water extract of each individual herbs, were prepared. Batches of these two kinds of decoction samples were subjected to UPLC-TOF/MS analysis. The datasets of t(R) m/z pairs, ion intensities and sample codes were processed with supervised partial least squared discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) to holistically compare the difference between these two decoction samples. Significant difference between the two decoction samples was showed in the results of positive ion mode. The contents of hypaconitine and deoxyaconitine decreased, while that of benzoylmesaconine, benzoylhypaconine and dehydrated benzoylmesaconine increased in the samples of co-decoction of ginseng and Radix Aconiti Praeparata. The content of diester-diterpenoid alkaloids decreased, while that of monoester-diterpenoid alkaloids increased, which is probably the basis of toxicity-attenuated action when combined ginseng with Radix Aconiti Praeparata.

Aim To investigate the effects of Fufangdanshen on TNF-? stimulated vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMC) and discover potential molecular mechanism to cure atherosclerosis at molecular level.Methods TNF-? stimulated VSMC was used as dysfunction cell model;VSMC proliferation was detected with MTT and FACS;proteomic protocol involving 2-DE,image analysis and spectrometry detection were used to detect regulated protein by Fufangdanshen.Results Fufangdanshen inhibited expression of 16 proteins but promoted expression of 24 proteins in TNF-? stimulated VSMC.The expression of CaMKK and N-ras were decreased by Fufangdanshen,which farther decreased matrix metalloproteinase production;while cell cycle related protein p21,p53 were increased by Fufangdanshen in TNF-? treated VSMC.Conclusion The inhibition of proliferation and migration of VSMC through decreased matrix metalloproteinase production and increased cell cycle related protein p21,p53 might be the mechanism of Fufangdanshen to cure atherosclerosis.

Objective E0703 is derived from estradiol and has anti-radiation effects on irradiated mice, the effects of E0703 on cell viability,cell cycle and the related mechanism in irradiated AHH-1 cells were investigated in this study.Methods Cell viability,cell apoptosis and cell cycle were determined by Cell Counting Kit-8.Annexin V-FITC double staining kit and Flow Cytometry,respectively.Level of mRNA and protein were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot,respectively.Results 3.0 Gy 60 Co γ-rays induced significant cell cycle arrest,necrosis,apoptosis and reduction of viability.Pretreatment with E0703 for 12 h before irradiation could increase cell viability and regulate cell cycle.but had no obvious effect on cell necrosis and apoptosis.The expression of cell cycle arrest related molecules Rb and MDM2 were increased after 3.0 Gy irradiation,but decreased significantly with pretreatment of E0703.Moreover.the phosphorylation of Rb was also increased.Conclusions The radioprotective function of E0703 might be exerted through influencing on cell cycle and promoting cell proliferation instead of apoptosis or necrosis.

Aim To investigate the induction effect of ginsenoside Rc, Re, Rf and Rg1 on CYP1A1, and further validate the role of aryl hydrocarbon receptor in CYP1A1 expression. Methods Dual luciferase re-porter gene system was performed. Four kinds of gin-senoside were screened for aryl hydrocarbon receptor activation by reporter assays, and TCDD as the positive control. Further with different concentrations of ginsen-oside Rc, Re, Rf and Rg1 treated on LS174T cells, RNA and total protein were extracted to detect the reg-ulating effect of ginsenosides on CYP1 A1 mRNA and protein expression with Real-time PCR and Western blot technology respectively. Results Reporter gene screening showed that the ginsenoside Rc, Re, Rf and Rg1 could activate AhR and had potential effects on the induction of CYP1A1 enzyme. Meanwhile, dose-de-pendent induction of the gene expression were observed in response to ginsenoside Rc, Re, Rf and Rg1 and the levels of CYP1 A1 protein expression were increased by ginsenoside Rc, Re, Rf and Rg1 in varying de-grees. Conclusion Ginsenoside Rc, Re, Rf and Rg1 can up-regulate the gene and protein expression of CYP1 A1 possibly via the AhR-mediated CYP1 A1 path-way.

Objective To study the diagnosis and treatment of protracted bacterial bronchitis (PBB) in children. Methods Children with PBB conifrmed by bronchoscopy were recruited from May 2013 to April 2015 . The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. Results All 31 cases include 18 boys and 13 girls were recruited. 28/31 were younger than 6 years old. They all complained of wet cough, some of them were reported with wheeze ( 17/31 ) and with ruttle in the lungs ( 16/31 ). White blood cell were in normal range ( 18/31 ) or slightly elevated ( 13/31 ). The C-reactin protein was in normal range ( 28/31 ). Chest X-ray test of 16 cases were normal. Twenty-four cases taken chest computerized tomograph scan, 5 had a sign of tracheobronchial stenosis. The purulent bronchitis without tracheobronchial stenosis were conifrmed by bronchoscopy. Four cases had tracheomalacia. The medians of proportion of neutrophil were 80% in bronchoalveolar lavage lfuid (BALF). The pathogens were identiifed in BALF in 17 cases, 6 with Streptococcus pneumoniae, 6 with Haemophilus parainfluenzae, 3 with Moraxella catarrhalis, 2 with Staphylococcus aureus and 1 with Haemophilus influenzae. The symptoms were improved in all cases and co-amoxiclav was prescribed to most cases when discharged. The course of antibiotics therapy was 2-4 weeks in 23 cases, and more than 4 weeks in 8 cases. Twenty-three ( 23 ) cases were cured but 8 of them relapsed. Another 8 cases were improved but not completely remitted, 7/8 were cured by further treatment for concomitant diseases such as nasosinusitis and allergic rhinitis. Conclusions Children with PBB are typically younger than six years old, and presented with prolonged wet cough and parent-reported wheeze, normal or with ruttle in the lungs. A conifrmed diagnosis was reached by bronchoscopy. The antibiotics therapy were effective, the course should be more than 2-4 weeks, however, relapse were common. When antibiotics therapy does not lead to complete remission, concomitant diseases should be considered.

In order to investigate the expression levels of Pin1 mRNA and protein in cervical cancer and its association with Ki67 and their clinical significance, amplification of Pin1 gene was examined by RT-PCR, and the expression of both Pin1 and Ki67 protein was detected by immunohistochemistry in cervical cancer tissues. It was shown that the expression levels of Pin1 were higher in cervical cancer than in normal cervical tissues (P < 0.05). The expression of Pin1 protein was increased progressively along with the disease process from normal cervix to CIN and to cervical cancer (P < 0.05). No significant difference in the Pin1 expression was found between disease stages (FIGO), pathological grades or pelvic lymph node metastasis status (P > 0.05). The expression of Pin1 was significantly higher in adenocarcinoma than in squamous carcinoma of the uterine cervix (P < 0.05). In cervical cancer, the overexpression of Pin1 was positively correlated with that of Ki67 (P < 0.05). These results suggested that the overexpression of Pin1 was closely related with cancer cell proliferation or progression of cervical cancer and contributed to oncogenesis. Pin1 may serve as a potential marker for cervical cancer diagnosis.
