Frailty is an age-related non-specificity status caused by a decline of physiological reservation,which leads to an increase of vulnerability in body and decrease of ability in stress resistance.The pathophysiology of frailty involves multiple systems including neuromuscular system,metabolism and immune system.Studies have showed that frailty is closely related with negative events of elder people.People with frailty are subject to higher risks for fall,hospitalization,and mortality.However,the development of frailty can be delayed if early prevention or interventions are performed.Prospective cohort studies have showed that the risk factors for frailty include age,gender,family history of obesity,BMI,waist circumference,blood pressure,hyperglycemia,smoking and lack of exercise.Among them,nutrition,exercise and therapeutic drugs are hot spots in prevention study.Here,we reviewed the intervention studies by focusing on nutrition,exercise and therapeutic drugs in frail population.

Objective To investigate whether high cholesterol diet (HCD) can cause gallbladder cholesterol calculus and to probe into the mechanism of its influence on gallbladder motility function. Methods Noumenon dissect and B-type ultrasonic apparatus was used to observe condition of gallbladder calculus formation in HCD group and normal control group; gallbladder motility function of the two groups were measured; radioimmunoassay was used to measure plasma CCK level in fast and 30min after fatty meal; colorimetry was used to measure cholesterol concentration in bile; and the pathologic changes of gallbladder specimen were observed. Results The gallbladder cholesterol calculus formation rate and cholesterol concentration in bile of HCD group was remarkably higher than that in normal control group (P

A study was made; of the effect of malotilate on the acute liver injury induced by carbon tetrachlorid,e ( CC14 ) and d-galactosamine in mice. Malotilate ( 50~150mg/kg ig?3 ) significantly inhibited the elevation of serum glu tamic pyruvic transaminase ( SGPT ) in CC14- intoxicated mice.At the dose of 100mg/kg ig?3, malotilate remarkably increased the content of hepatic glycogea in CCl4-injected mice. The contents of serum protein, liver protein, and cytochrom P-450 in liver hemogenate were increased by malotilate ( 100mg/kg ig?3) in CC14-intoxicated mice. The drug also reduced the accumulation of liver triglycerides induced by CCl4 in mice.In addition to, malotilate(50mg /kg, ip?5) could act against the increase of SGPT and the decrease of liver protein content induced with d-galactosamine in mice. These results suggest that malotilate may be a new therapeutic agent for liver injury.

In recent years, microRNAs were shown to be one of the key factors in post transcriptional gene regulation which are involved in occurrence, development of many diseases. In the field of kidney disease research, the role of microR?NAs attracted more and more attention. Diabetic nephropathy is one of the major causes of end-stage renal disease, whose pathogenesis however has not been fully elucidated yet. This article reviews the role of microRNAs in the pathogenesis of dia?betic nephropathy.

AIM:To establish the quality standard for Siwei Jianghuangtang Powder(Rhizoma Curcumae longae,Cortex Berberidis,Fructus Phyllanthi,Fructus Tribuli). METHODS: Rhizoma Curcumae longae,Cortex Berberidis,Fructus Phyllanthi,Fructus Tribuli were identified by TLC,and the content of curcumin was determined by HPLC. RESULTS: The TLC for the identification of Rhizoma curcumae longae,Cortex Berberidis,Fructus Phyllanthi,Fructus Tribuli in the powder was accurate.While the content of curcumin was determined by HPLC,curcumin showed good linear relationship at a range of 0.022 4-0.179 ?g,r=0.999 7.The average recovery of curcumin was 99.4%(n=9) and RSD was 1.46% by HPLC. CONCLUSION: The method is specific,reliable and accurate.It can be used for the quality control of Siwei Jianghuangtang Powder effectively.

Human fetal esophageal epithelial tissue were cultured in vitro and treatedwith mycotoxins of Alternaria alternata (AME or AOH) for 4 h. The genomic DNAwere extracted from these tissues. Genomic DNA was isolated from normal human fetalesophageal epithelium (as blank control), DNA from malignant tissue and its adjacentnormal mucosa was obtained from esophagectomy patients. DNA was amplified with PCRreaction, using genomic DNA as templet. The PCR products was a 104bp fragment from which the 12 codon of c-Ha-ras gene was contained. The excition point of restriction en-zyme Hpe Ⅱ was located in this fragment. The PCR amplified 104bp fragment was diges-ted by Hpa Ⅱ and analysed by agarose gel electrophoresis. The results showed that the104bp fragment amplified from genomic DNA of blank control and esophagectomy patientcould be digested by Hpa Ⅱ ; but that from genomic DNA of human fetal esophagealepithelium treated by AME or AOH could not. These results indicated that a mutationhad taken place at 12-codon of c-Ha-ras gene after it was treated by AME, AOH for ashort time. The mutation of Ha-ras gene might be the early event during esophageal car-cinogenesis. The effect of AME and AOH during the onset of esophageal cancer and themolecular machanisms of the effect were worth of further study.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate therapuetic efficacy and toxic reaction of 2 therapuetic regimens for 56 cases of bone me-tastasis of cervical cancer. METHODS:56 cases of bone metastasis of cervical cancer with complete information were collected ret-rospectively and randomly divided into radiochemotherapy group(31 cases)and diphosphonate group(25 cases). Radiochemothera-py group was given radiotherapy,chemotherapy and diphosphonate;diphosphonate group was given palliative symptomatic treat-ment of diphosphonate;a treatment course lasted for 3-4 weeks,and both groups received 3 courses of treatment. Average survival time,survival quality and toxic reaction were comparison in 2 groups. RESULTS:After bone metastasis of cervical cancer,the av-erage survival time of radiochemotherapy group was 17 months (95%CI:9.1-24.9),and that of diphosphonate group was 19 months (95%CI:2.4-35.6);3 years later,the survival rate of radiochemotherapy group was 16.1%,and that of diphosphonate group was 16.0%,there was no statistical significance(P=0.820). To compared KPS after 3 treatment courses,the improvement rate of radiochemotherapy group(22.6%)was significantly lower than that of diphosphonate group(40.0%),with statistical signif-icance (χ2=4.36,P<0.05). Toxic reaction of radiochemotherapy group was more significant than that of diphosphonate group. CONCLUSIONS:Diphosphonate has little effect on survial quality and slight toxic reaction. It is worthy of spreading in some pa-tients with advanced,elderly and reccurred bone metastasis of cervical cancer.
