Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 2016;32(9):1683-1687
AIM: To observe the therapeutic effect of modified Bushen Huoxue granules (MBHG) on ovariec-tomized osteoporosis rats.METHODS: Female SD rats were randomly given sham operation (n =10) and ovariectomy, and then the model rats were further randomly divided into model group, MBHG treatment groups at doses of 200 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg respectively, and positive control (estradiol valerate) group, with 10 rats in each group by intra-gastric administration for 12 weeks.The morphology, area, thickness, spacing and area percentage of trabecular bone in the rats were observed.The serum levels of calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were mea-sured by automatic analyzer.Bone mineral density (BMD) was analyzed.Serum estradiol (E2 ), osteocalcin (BGP), os-teoprotegerin (OPG), receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB (RANK) and receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) levels were detected by ELISA.RESULTS: Compared with model group, trabecular bone significantly widened in all treatment groups with large number, and net-like structure restored partially.The thickness, area and area percenta-ges of trabecular bone in treatments groups were higher than those in model group,and trabecular spacing was less than that in model group (P <0.05).The serum Ca, P, E2 and OPG, and femoral BMD were significantly higher in treatment groups than those in model group, and the levels of ALP, BGP, RANK and RANKL were significantly lower than those in model group (P <0.01).CONCLUSION: MBHG has a significant therapeutic effect on ovariectomized osteoporosis rats. The mechanism may be related to the regulation of OPG and inhibition of RANKL secretion.

BACKGROUND:The stress distribution in the periodontal ligament of bending root can provide reference for the size and manner of force in orthodontic treatment. On this account, it can optimize the design of orthodontic force. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the stress distribution of root and periodontal ligament in the bending roots of the
maxil ary first molar under different orthodontic forces.
METHODS:The maxil ary first molars with normal roots and bending roots were selected, and then the finite element models of maxil ary first molars and periodontal ligaments were established through CT scan and
Workbench 11.0 finite element analysis software. The models were loaded with six different methods to analyze the stress distribution.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The stress distribution of bending root was mainly concentrated in the tooth
neck, fol owed by the apex. During the overal tooth movement, the stress was smal est on the root, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. Correction of bending roots needs more accurate positioning and traction.

Objective:To study how to guide the individual dose of clopidogrel in line with the genetic testing results. Methods:Clinical pharmacists decided how to optimize the prescription of clopidogrel according to the genotype combined with the drug metabolism and drug interactions for three patients respectively with slow clopidogrel metabolism,intermediary metabolism and super fast metabolism. Results:The slow clopidogrel metabolism patient with subacute stent thrombosis after half a month of coronary stenting was switched to orally administrate with ticagrelor. The super fast metabolism patient suffered from repeatedly subcutaneous hemorrhage with antiplatelet therapy was suggested to lower the dose of clopidogrel,temporarily withdraw Maixuekang capsules and conventionally administrate with vitamin C tablets orally. The intermediary metabolism patient with late stent thrombosis co-treated with lansoprazole was suggested to increase the dose of clopidogrel or use ticagrelor instead,and when it was necessary,panxitorazole,ray Bella or the other ranitidine acid suppression drugs such as ranitidine could be considered. Conclusion:Through genetic testing and drug interactions,clinical pharmacists guide the clinical use of clopidogrel and the optimization of antiplatelet therapy.

Objective To investigate the effects of rosiglitazone on proangiogenesis function of human umbilical vein endothelial cells ( HUVEC) in high glucose environment. Methods HUVECs were cultured in high glucose environment and stimulated by rosiglitazone. MTT, cell scratch test and Transwell assay were used to detect HUVEC proliferation and migration. The concentration of VEGF, SDF-1 was also detected in the supernatant. Results Rosiglitazone could effectively promote HUVEC proliferation and migration. The concentration of VEGF and SDF-1 in rosiglitazone stimulated supernatant was higher than that in high glucose group. The inhibition of AKT signal could block the promotion of rosiglitazone on the HUVEC proliferation, migration and secretion. Conclusion Rosiglitazone could significantly promote HUVEC secretion, proliferation and migration in high glucose environment. AKT signal played an important role in this process.

Objective To evaluate imaging features of verruca plana by dermoscopy and reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM).Methods Totally,88 untreated patients with verruca plana were enrolled into this study.One typical skin lesion was chosen from each patient and subjected to dermoscopy and RCM separately,and imaging features were recorded and analyzed.Results Dermoscopy revealed a light red background in 48 cases (54.55%),a light yellow background in 40 cases (45.45%),and a various number of punctate hemorrhages in 84 cases (95.45%).RCM showed concentric onion-skin-like structures in 48 patients (54.55%).Among 57 patients with disease duration > 1 year,44 (77.19%) had the concentric onion-skin-like pattern,while only 4 (12.90%) patients had similar structures among 31 patients with disease duration < 1 year.A significant difference in the prevalence of concentric onion-skin-like structures was observed between patients with disease duration > 1 year and those with disease duration < 1 year (x2 =33.47,P < 0.05).Of 88 patients,86 (97.73%) had hyperpigmentation in the basal layer at the dermo-epidermal junction,intact dermal papillary rings,vasodilatation,hyperemia and 1-2 dilated capillaries in the dermal papillae.Eight patients were treated for 2 weeks,and the above features disappeared after the treatment under dermoscopy and RCM.Conclusion Based on clinical manifestations,dermoscopy and RCM features may be helpful for the diagnosis of verruca plana.

Aim To investigate the protective effects of Aplysin on ethanol-induced oxidative damage in rat pri-mary hepatocytes. Methods Rat primary hepatocytes were obtained via the portal vein collagenaseⅣin situ perfusion technique followed by a Percoll density gradi-ent centrifuge. MTT test was used to determine the op-timum dose of Aplysin and ethanol, and detect the cell vitality in primary hepatocytes. Supernatants of primary hepatocytes were harvested to measure AST and LDH level, and the SOD, GSH-PX activities and MDA con-tent in primary hepatocytes were observed. Flow cy-tometry was used to detect the cell apoptosis rate. DNA damage in primary hepatocytes was detected by single-cell gel electrophoresis assay. The level of mitochon-drial membrane potential in primary hepatocytes was tested by fluorogenic probe JC-1 . The CYP2 E1 activity in primary hepatocytes was detected by colorimetry. The proteins of CYP2 E1 were detected by Western blot. Results 300 mmol·L-1 dose of ethanol and 30 mg·L-1 dose of Aplysin were the optimal dosages and were used in the subsequent experiments. Hepatocyte vitality was significantly increased in Aplysin group compared to that in ethanol group, and Aplysin inhibi-ted the release of AST and LDH(P<0. 05). For Apl-ysin treatment group, the activities of hepatocyte SOD and GSH were significantly increased, and MDA was markedly lowered as compared with those in ethanol group( P <0. 05 ) . Aplysin could alleviate hepatocyte apoptosis significantly, and hepatocyte DNA damage rates of Ⅱ ~Ⅲ level and Ⅳ level were significantly lowered in Aplysin treatment group as compared with those in ethanol group, and Aplysin had evident im-provement in alcohol induced mitochondria damage of hepatocyte. Primary hepatocyte activities and protein expression of CYP2 E1 were markedly lowered in Aply-sin treatment group as compared with those in ethanol group(P<0. 05). Conclusion Aplysin has protective effects on liver oxidative damage induced by alcohol of primary cultured rat hepatocytes by blocking CYP2 E1 activation, relieving oxidative stress, and sharpening the oxidation resistance ability.
