Currently, the commonly used diagnostic markers have the shortcomings of lower sensitivity or specificity in the early diagnosis of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, it needs to use the novel specific biochemical markers for the early diagnosis arid treatment, so as to decrease the high mortality and disability caused by cardio-cerebrovascular events. Fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) are a family of low-molecular-weight intracellular lipid-binding proteins. They are divided into 9 different subtypes, including the liver-, intestinal-, heart-, brain-, adipocyte-, skin-, ileal-, myelin-, and testis-subtype. Their primary function is to transport long-chain fatty acids into the cells, and thus regulate intracellular lipid metabolism. The structures of all FABP subtypes are similar, inclusive of two α2 helices arid one β2 fold structure. Among them, the sensitivities and specificities of the heart- and brain-subtype FABPs are higher in the early diagnosis of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. It is promising to become the novel markers in the early diagnosis of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases.

Environmental arsenic exposure is a worldwide public health problem. Long-term exposure to inorganic arsenic is closely related to diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and malignant tumors. Different dietary structure and intake of certain specific nutrients may have important effects on the pathogenic effect of arsenic. This article summarizes the effects of dietary nutrients on arsenic toxicity, providing reference for the follow-up arsenic toxicity research and reducing the risk of arsenic-related diseases through nutritional intervention.

Objective: To explore correlation among concentrations of high sensitive C reactive protein (hsCRP), uric acid (UA), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and coronary heart disease (CHD).Methods: A total of 120 CHD patients treated in our department were enrolled as CHD group, and they were divided into single vessel coronary disease group (single-vessel group, n=51) and multi-vessel coronary disease group (multi-vessel group, n=69).Meanwhile, another 40 healthy subjects were randomly selected from our physical examination center as healthy control group.Serum concentrations of hsCRP, BNP and UA were measured in all groups, and compared with pairwise comparisons.Results: Compared with healthy control group, there were significant rise in serum concentrations of hsCRP[(3.95±2.24) mg/L vs.(19.78±5.15) mg/L], BNP[(70.57±19.47) pg/ml vs.(196.17±54.84) pg/ml], UA[(184.51±79.47) μmol/L vs.(407.17±96.84) μmol/L]in CHD group, and those of multi-vessel group were significantly higher than those of single-vessel group, P<0.05 or <0.01;Spearman rank correlation analysis indicated that serum UA concentration was significant positively correlated with hsCRP and BNP concentrations (r=0.551, 0.398, P<0.05 both), Gensini score was significant positively correlated with serum concentrations of hsCRP, BNP, UA (r=0.478, 0.552, 0.741, P<0.05 all), Sullivan score was significant positively correlated with serum concentrations of hsCRP, BNP, UA (r=0.503, 0.674, 0.892, P<0.05 or <0.01) in CHD patients.Conclusion: Serum concentrations of hsCRP, BNP, UA are closely related to occurrence and development of CHD.These three indexes can be used as screening indexes for CHD, and the effect of combined detection may be better.

Objective:To observe the protective effect of Shenkang injections in the rats with kidney injury induced by gentamicin. Methods:Forty-eight male SD rats were randomly divided into the control group,model group and treatment group with 16 ones in each. The rats were given gentamicin with intraperitoneal injection(100 mg·kg-1 ·d-1 )for 7 days in the model group and the treat-ment group,and the rats in the treatment group were given Shenkang injections with intraperitoneal injection additionally(2. 0 g·kg-1 ·d-1 ). Eight rats were sacrificed respectively on the 8th and 15th day in each group,and the detection of serum level of creatinine and cystatin-C,urinary concentration of kidney injury molecule-1(Kim-1)and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin(üGAL),activity of nuclear factor-κβ and Caspase-3,and expression of Bax mRüA and Bcl-2 mRüA in renal tissues as well as the observation of renal tissue apoptosis in each group were conducted. Results:Compared with those in the control group,the serum level of creatinine and cystatin-C,urinary concentration of Kim-1 and üGAL,renal tissue apoptosis,activity of nuclear factor-κβ and Caspase-3,expression of Bax mRüA and Bcl-2 mRüA in renal tissues on both 8th and 15th day were higher in the model group(P<0. 01). The serum level of creatinine and cystatin-C,urinary concentration of Kim-1 and üGAL,renal tissue apoptosis,activity of s nuclear factor-κβand Caspase-3,expression of Bax mRüA in renal tissues in the treatment group were lower at the two time points than those in the model group, while the expression of Bcl-2 mRüA in homogenate renal tissues were higher in the treatment group than that in the model group at the two time points(P<0. 01).
