Objective:To explore changes of peripheral blood levels of C reactive protein (CRP)and matrix metallo-proteinase-9 (MMP-9)in patients with coronary heart diseases (CHD)and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI),and analyze their relationship with patients'prognosis.Methods:A total of 278 CHD patients undergoing PCI in our hospital from Jul 2009 to Apr 2011 were regarded as PCI group;another 234 CHD patients not receiving PCI were enrolled as CHD control group.According to results of coronary angiography,PCI group was further di-vided into single-vessel (n=143),double-vessel (n=92)and triple-vessel disease group (n=43).Changes of CRP and MMP-9 levels were compared between two groups in different time,and the relationship among these two in-flammatory factors and coronary disease,its prognosis was analyzed.Results:Compared with on admission,there were significant rise in levels of CRP [(2.43±0.62)mg/L vs.(2.87±0.73)mg/L,(2.98±0.87)mg/L]and MMP-9 [(12.63±2.68)ng/ml vs.(14.62±3.49)ng/ml,(19.62±4.63)ng/ml]in PCI group on 24h and 48h after PCI,P <0.05~<0.01;there were no significant difference in CRP and MMP-9 levels between on admission and 14d after PCI,P >0.05;The more severe coronary lesion was,the higher CRP and MMP-9 levels were,CRP and MMP-9 levels of triple-vessel group [(2.51 ±0.64)mg/L,(14.67±2.97)ng/ml]were significantly higher than those of single-vessel group [(1.83±0.51)mg/L,(9.68±1.42)ng/ml]and double-vessel group [(2.17±0.59) mg/L,(11.62±2.19)ng/ml],P <0.05~<0.01;incidence rates of cardiovascular events in patients with CRP≥3 mg/L and MMP-9≥15 ng/ml (33.3%,29.1%)were significantly higher than those of patients with CRP <3 mg/L and MMP-9<15 ng/ml (16.1%,18.2%)respectively,P <0.05 both.Conclusion:Serum levels of CRP and MMP-9 significantly rise in CHD patients on 48h after PCI,and their increasing level is related with extent of coronary ar-tery lesion and prognosis.

Objective: To study the protective effect of compound extract of soybean, wolfberry and hawthorn on chemical liver injury in mice respectively. Methods:The mice were randomly divided into 5 groups:control(A), liver injury control(B)and 0.06(C)?0.20(D)?0.60(E) g/(kg?bw) compound extract group. The liver injury models were induced by CCl 4 and ethanol in mice respectively. After 4 weeks, for the former, the serum ALT and AST content were measured and the liver pathological change was observed. For the latter, the liver MDA, GSH, and TG content were measured and fat droplets staining in the ice pathological slice were observed . Results: 1.CCl 4 liver injury models:the content of serum ALT of group D and the AST of group D and E were decreased. Compared with normal group, the hepatic pathological changes of the compound extract group was mainly fatty and ballon degeneration, and that of the CCl 4 group was mainly hepatic cytoclasis. 2.Ethanol liver injury models: the content of liver MDA of group C, E and the TG of group C, D, E were all decreased, and the fatty degeneration scores of group C, D were lower, both compared with ethanol group. Conclusion: Compound extract of soybean, wolfberry and hawthorn has the protective effect on liver injuries induced by both CCl 4 and ethanol in mice.

Objective To explore the protective effects of GYY4137, a new hydrogen sulfide donor, on intestinal mucosa in a neonatal rat model of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), and its potential mechanism.Methods Sixty SD rats were randomly assigned into 4 groups: group A (control group), group B (NEC group), group C (NEC with GYY4137 treatment, H2S donor group), and group D (NEC with GYY4137 and Znpptreatment, HO-1 inhibitor group). The SD rat models of NEC were established using simulated milk feeding-hypoxia-cold stress-Lipopolysaccharides. The injury degree of intestinal mucosa was evaluated using HE-staining, and its mechanisms were investigated using biochemical indicators and Western blotting. Results Compared with control group, the pathology score and the total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) in the NEC group was significantly higher, the concentrations of methane dicarboxylic aldehyde (MDA) and necrosis factor α (TNF-α) were lower(P<0.05). Compared with those in NEC group, the pathology score and the concentration of MDA and TNF-α in the H2S donor group were signiflcantly lower, the T-SOD, and the HO-1 expression was higher. The pathology score and the level of MDA and TNF-α were signiflcantly increased after treated with HO-1 inhibitor Znpp, and T-SOD was signiflcantly decreased.. Conclusions The GYY4137, as a new H2S donor, could attenuate the injury of intestinal mucosa in a neonatal rat model of NEC by upregulating the expression of HO-1.

Objective Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is widely used as a spice in cooking and as a medicinal herb in traditional herbal medicine. The present study was to investigate the analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities of ginger oil in experimental animal models. Methods The analgesic effect of the oils was evaluated by the acetic acid and hot-plate test models of pain in mice. The anti-inflammatory effect of the oil was investigated in rats, using rat paw edema induced by carrageenan, adjuvant arthritis, and vascular permeability induced by bradykinin, arachidonic acid, and histamine. Indomethacin (1 mg/kg), Aspirin (0.5 g/kg) and Dexamethasone (2.5 mg/kg) were used respectively as reference drugs for comparison. Results The ginger oil (0.25-1.0 g/kg) produced significant analgesic effect against chemically- and thermally-induced nociceptive pain stimuli in mice (P < 0.05, 0.01). And the ginger oil (0.25-1.0 g/kg) also significantly inhibited carrageenan-induced paw edema, adjuvant arthritis, and inflammatory mediators-induced vascular permeability in rats (P < 0.05, 0.001). Conclusion These findings confirm that the ginger oil can be used to treat pain and chronic inflammation such as rheumatic arthritis.

Objective To explore the clinical application value of coronary angiography (CAG) combined with fractional flow re-serve(FFR) in percutaneous coronary intervention treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD) .Methods 82 cases of CAD(147 le-sions) with single hemadostenosis at least 70% -90% were randomized into the observation group and the control group .The ob-servation group(40 cases ,72 lesions) was performed the myocardial FFR detection by the pressure guide wire and the drug-eluting stents(DES) were placed in the lesions only if FFR ≤0 .80 .The patients with postoperative FFR ≤0 .80 were given the in-stent post-balloon dilatation .The control group(42 cases ,75 lesions) underwent the percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) for conduc-ting the routine DES implantation .The general condition ,risk factors(hypertension ,diabetese ,hyperlipidemia ,smoking ,etc .) ,num-ber of lesions ,implanted stents ,hospitalization cost ,occurrence rate of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) after postoperative 6 months and the angina recurrence rate were compared between the two groups .Results The number of used stents per patient and the hospitalization cost in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group [(0 .88 ± 0 .88) vs .(1 .81 ± 0 .83) ,(47 200 ± 2 3000)Yuan vs .(60 000 ± 2 4100)Yuan P< 0 .05] .The two groups had no all-cause death in postoperative 6-months .The recurrent myocardial infarction rate ,revascularization rate and recurrent angina in the two groups were 2 .50% vs .0 , 2 .50% vs .2 .38% and 5 .00% vs .7 .14% respectively ,the differences had no statistical significance(P>0 .05) .Conclusion CAG combined with FFR detection can significantly reduce the number of stents and the hospitalization cost without increasing the occur-rence rates of MACE and angina within postoperative 6 months in CAD patients .
