3.Quality of life in 164 allergic rhinitis patients caused by different aeroallergens.
Journal of Clinical Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery 2015;29(3):226-229
OBJECTIVE:
We aimed to analyze the quality of life (QOL) in adults with allergic rhinitis according to the sensitization profile for relevant aeroallergens in Northern China, investigate the proportion of patients with coexisting asthma, and explore the correlation between QOL of rhinitis patients and the specific IgE level to the causative allergen.
METHOD:
One hundred and sixty-four allergic rhinitis patients participated in this study, whose clinical history, results of intradermal skin test and serum specific IgE levels to common aeroallergens in North China were collected. QOL was evaluated using the rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire (RQLQ).
RESULT:
QOL of rhinitis patients was worse in those sensitized to tree pollens or weed pollens than those sensitized to house dust mites in Northern China. The proportion of patients with co-existing asthma was lower in tree pollen group than in house dust mite group or weed pollen group, and there was no significant difference between house dust mite group and weed pollen group. There was no significant correlation between QOL of rhinitis patients and the specific IgE level to the causative allergen.
CONCLUSION
In our study group, QOL of patients with allergic rhinitis varied with the allergen responsible for symptoms, but was not influenced by the specific IgE level to relevant allergen. The proportion of patients with co-existing asthma also varied with different pollen allergens. Rhinitis patients sensitized to weed pollens might be more likely to suffer from asthma than those sensitized to tree pollens.

6.Effect of nandrolone phenylpropionate on androgen receptor-mediated transcriptional regulation of target genes in rat scald models
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2015;(40):6509-6514
BACKGROUND:Moderate to severe burn and trauma, treatment of which has been paid equal attention to wound surface, is always a difficulty of clinical systemic treatment and has a poor prognosis. Anabolic hormones have acquired secure and good results in the treatment of burns in both animals and clinical patients. Although use of anabolic hormones is restricted by the doping management, but its androgen receptor and nuclear receptor coregulators are the newly emerging areas of interests in the field of gene regulation mechanism in recent years. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of nandrolone phenylpropionate on androgen receptor-mediated transcriptional regulation of target gene in rat scald models. METHODS: Thirty-six rats were randomly divided into nandrolone phenylpropionate, model and control groups. In the nandrolone phenylpropionate and model groups, rats were subjected to a 20% total body surface area second-degree scald injury by hot water. Two days after model preparation, rats in these two groups were intramuscularly injected with nandrolone phenylpropionate and saline, once every other day, for a total of 21 days. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The gene expression levels of steroid receptor coactivator-1 and insulin-like growth factor 1 in the rat livers and gonads (testes, ovaries) were significantly different between the nandrolone phenylpropionate and model groups (P < 0.05), except steroid receptor coactivator-1 in the liver. There were no significant differences in steroid receptor coactivator-1, c-myc and insulin-like growth factor 1 in the rat livers and gonads (testes, ovaries) between model and control groups (P < 0.05). The results demonstrate that nandrolone phenylpropionate has different effects on the gene expression of steroid receptor coactivator-1, c-myc and insulin-like growth factor 1 in different tissues under different physiological and pathological conditions.
7.Relationship between thyroid autoantibodies and pregnancy outcome of infertility women after assisted reproductive technology:a systematic review
The Journal of Practical Medicine 2014;(24):4011-4014
Objective To evaluate the relationship between thyroid autoantibodies (ATA)and pregnancy outcome of infertility women after assisted reproductive technology (ART). Methods Relevant studies were identified by searching PubMed, Cochrane library, CNKI and CBM. Results 7 studies were appropriate for meta-analyses and total 4165 patiens were included. Meta analysis shows that the pregnancy rate difference between ATA positive patients and controls have no significance, but the miscarriage rate is greater significant between them. In the meta-analyses, the presence of thyroid antibodies was associated with an increased risk of miscarriage (OR 1.85, 95%CI 1.32~2.59), compared with the absence of thyroid antibodies. Conclusion Pregnant women with thyroid antibodies have an increased risk of complications, especially miscarriage. Future research,should focus on the treatment and thyroid disease on pregnancy outcome.
8.The effects of two lipids lowering drugs on LDL pathways of receptor dependent and independent in rats
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 1989;0(06):-
The effects of two lipids lowering drugs, Xu Zhiping and Mixtura Dai Huai, on the LDL metabolism by receptor dependent and independent pathways in experimental hypercholesterolemia rats were obsvered using radioisotopic double-labelling trace technique. The results showed that in the receptor dependent or independent pathways, the FCR of LDL was increased by 43% and 34% respectively in Xu Zhiping group, and by 35% and 40% respectively in Mixtura Dai Huai group as compared with controls. Both drugs appeared to be more effective than colifibrate, in promoting clearance of LDL from plasma suggesting that the role in reducing plasma TC and LDL-C was depended on accelerating LDL degradation through both receptor dependent and independent pathways. It was also suggested that immune stimulus in combination with cholagogus may become a new way for prevention of hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis.
