With the increasingly aging population,osteoporosis morbidity had been gradually increased and the incidence of the hips and vertebral fractures showed a trend of rapid growth,which brought great pain and economic burden to patients and society.There were a variety of anti-osteoporosis drugs clinically,which interfere with the development of osteoporosis via multi-approaches to reduce the clinical symptoms and improve their quality of life.In this paper,the author aimed to make a review of the research progress of anti-osteoporosis drug clinical application.

Objective To investigate the expression of poly ADP-ribose polymerase-1(PARP-1) in human breast cancer tissue and its relationship with patient's prognosis related factors.Methods The expression of PARP-1 in breast cancer tissues and their adjacent non-cancerous tissues from resection in 66 operated cases were detected using RT-PCR and immunofluorecence staining(IFS).The relationship between the expression of PARP-1 and the prognosis related factors was analyzed.Results Compared with that of the adjacent non-cancerous tissues,the expression of PARP-1 mRNA increased in 94.9%(62/66) patients,while the expression of PARP-1 protein increased in 90.9%(60/66) ones.The label index(LI) and the expression index(EI) of PARP-1 gene increased especially in the cases in later clinical stage,with poor tumor differentiation grade,of pure breast carcinomas or infiltrative breast carcinomas and of metastasis.Conclusion The expression of PARP-1 in human breast cancer tissue on the level of transcription and translation increases,which may be positively related with the patient's prognosis.

Objective To investigate the expression of mutant BRCA2 gene in human breast cancer tissue and its clinic-healing significance.Methods The expression of mutant BRCA2 gene in breast cancer tissues and adjacent non-cancerous tissues of 66 patients' samples was detected using immunofluorostainning(IFS)and the correlation between the expression of mutant BRCA2 and patient's clinic-pathological characteristic was analyzed.Results Among 66 patients' samples,87.8%(58/66)were up-regulated expression of mutant BRCA2 protein in breast cancer tissues and 12.2%(8/66)was no significant difference of the mutant BRCA2 expression between the cancer tissue and its corresponding adjacent noncancerous tissues.The label index(LI)of mutant BRCA2 gene was higher in the cases of breast carcinoma's later clinical stage,poor tumor differentiation grade,breast scirrhus carcinomas,infiltrative breast carcinomas and metastasis.Conclusion The overexpression of mutant BRCA2 gene in human breast cancer tissue is positively related to the breast carcinoma's clinical stage,tumor differentiation grade,the tumor pathological type and metastasis,and it may influence the healing therapy of the breast cancer patients.

A new enhancement method is proposed based on the characteristics of fundus images in this paper. Firstly, top-hat transform is utilized to weaken the background. Secondly, contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) is performed to improve the uneven illumination. Finally, two-dimensional matched filters are designed to further enhance the contrast between blood vessels and background. The algorithm was tested in DIARETDB0 databases and showed good applicability for both normal and pathological fundus images. A new no-reference image quality assessment method was used to evaluate the enhancement methods objectively. The results demonstrated that the proposed method could effectively weaken the background, increase contrast, enhance details in the fundus images and improve the image quality greatly.

Mild cognitive im pairm ent caused by craniocerebral traum a is the key points and difficulties in judicial authentication. This article has com parative analysis of eachmode of event-related potential (classical O ddball, E riksen flanker task and so on), which can provide a more objective m ethod for such craniocerebral traum a cases in clinical forensic judicial authentication.

Objective To probe into the therapeutic mechanism of Zhixie Tuire Tablet (ZTT) for rotavirus-induced diarrhea. Methods We established the 4-day old Kunming neonatal mice model by infecting group A G3 type of rotavirus,and then gave the inoculated mice with ZTT at the dose of 0.78 g/kg for three days. Fluorescent quantification PCR method was used to detect the changes of sodium glucose transporter SGLT1 mRNA level and radio-immunity method was used for the examination of PGE2 level in neonatal mice small intestine. Results SGLT1mRNA level was lower in ZTT group than that in the normal group,the difference being significant (P 0.05). PGE2 level in ZTT group was higher than that in the normal group,but lower than that in the model group (P

Objective To evaluate the pharmacological effect of Zhixie Tuire Tablets(ZTT) on human rotavirus RV709 in host cells in vitro.Methods By improved methods of methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium colorimetry assay(MTT) and cytopathic effect(CPE),the anti-rotavirus effect of ZTT on RV709 was evaluated.Results The half toxic concentration(TC50) of ZTT for MA104 was 0.49699 mg/mL.ZTT neither can directly kill human rotavirus,nor prevent human rotavirus from invasion of host cells.The halft inhibitory concentration of ZTT was 0.00519 mg/mL for RV709.Conclusion In-vitro anti-rotavirus mechanism of ZTT is related to the inhibition of the biological synthesis of rotavirus in host cells.

AIM To investigate the pharmacokinetic behaviors of total flavonoids from Epimedii Folium in osteoporotic rats in vivo.METHODS Twelve rats were divided into model group and sham group,after which the osteoporotic rat model was established by removing bilateral ovaries.After intragastric administration with total flavonoids (500 mg/kg),HPLC-DAD was applied to detecting the plasma concentrations of total flavonoids' prototype glycosides (epimedin A,epimedin B,epimedin C,icariin) and their metabolites (sagittatoside A,sagittatoside B,2-O-rhamnosylicariside Ⅱ,baohuoside Ⅰ,icaritin) at thirteen time points (0.083,0.25,0.5,0.75,1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24 and 48 h),then the plasma concentration-time curves were drawn,followed by the calculation of pharmacokinetic parameters.RESULTS Doubled peaks were observed in the plasma concentration-time curves of total flavonoids' prototype glycosides and their metabolites in both groups.Compared with the sham group,the integrated AUC and Cmax in the model group were significantly decreased (P ＜ 0.01),as well as the prolonged t1/2 (P ＜ 0.01).CONCLUSION The in vivo absorption and metabolism of total flavonoids from Epimedii Folium are much slower in the state of osteoporosis,thus affects the efficacy.
