Chinese Journal of Information on Traditional Chinese Medicine 2014;(1):40-42
Objective To investigate the protective effect of astragaloside on cardiomyocyte mitochoddria and inhibition effect on cardiomyocytes apoptosis of the rats with heart failure, and explore the treatment mechanism. Methods Sixty SD rats were randomly divided into control group, model group, astragaloside group, and trimetazidine group. The last three groups were injected subcutaneously with isoproterenol to make the heart failure model. Astragaloside group was given astragaloside 50 mg/(kg?d), and trimetazidine group was given trimetazidine 10 mg/(kg?d) orally for three consecutive weeks. At the end of the experiment, the myocardial tissue specimens of each group were made, inverted fluorescence microscope was utilized for measuring mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), immunoblotting was utilized for detecting cardiomyocyte telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) expression, and flow cytometry was untilized for detecting cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Results The MMP ratio of astragaloside group was 3.226±0.371, significantly higher than the model group and trimetazidine group (P<0.01). The cardiomyocyte apoptosis rate of astragaloside group was 8.91±2.12, significantly lower than the model group and trimetazidine group (P<0.01), and the most obvious expression of TERT was found in astragaloside group. Conclusion Astragaloside can protect damaged mitochondria, promote TERT expression, inhibit cardiomyocyte apoptosis and protect cardiomyocytes.

Objective To explore the long-term dialysis therapies suitable for Chinese patients by comparison of the long-term clinical effect of daily ambulatory peritoneal dialysis ( DAPD ) and hemodialysis (HD) on patients with end-stage renal failure.Methods Forty-six outpatients and inpatients with end-stage renal failure were enrolled from our hospital and divided into group A (24 patients) and group B (22 patients) randomly.Participants in group A received HD treatmant,including conventional HD,hemodiafiltration (HDF),hemoperfusion (HP),etc.For three times in total 12 - 15 h each week;patients in group B received DAPD with a daily dialysate dose of 6 - 8 L and a replacement in every 3 - 4 h for each bag of peritoneal dialysate,as well as a break overnight.The subsequent long-term monitoring was performed,and the following variables were compared for the patients in these two groups:sufficiency of dialysis (i.e.Kt/V),nutritional status [ including SGA and sALB ),complication control ( including Hb,CO2CP,K+,Ca2+,P-,iPTH and blood pressure (MAP) ],infection incidence,employment rate and annual medical expense.The evaluation on daily activities of living was also performed using Barthel Index (BI) and the presence of depressive dsymptoms was assessed by HAMD.Results Patients in both group A and group B could survive under long-term dialysis,and there was no statistically significant difference in sufficiency of dialysis (Kt/V),nutritional status (SGA and sALB ),complication control ( Hb,CO2 CP,K +,Ca2 +,P -,and MAP) and infection incidence ( P > 0.05 ).One year after dialysis,the urine volume [ (274 ± 102) ml vs.( 205 ± 86 ) ml,P =0.017 ],BI ( 82 ± 13 vs.73 ± 11,P =0.044) and employment rate (40.9% vs.12.5%,P=0.044) of the patients in group B were higher than those of the patients in group A,but the ultra-filtration volume [ ( 1162 ± 124 ) ml vs.( 1542±136 ) ml,P < 0.001 ],iPTH [ (77.5 ± 12.7 ) ng/L vs.( 104.4±11.3 ) ng/L,P < 0.001 ],HAMD ( 8 ± 3 vs.18 ± 4,P < 0.001 ) and annual medical expense [ (7.67±1.48 ) ng/L vs.( 11.35 ± 2.52 ) ng/L thousand yuan,P < 0.001 ] were lower than those of the patients in group A.Five years after dialysis,B1 ( 80 ± 13vs.71 ± 14,P =0.029 ) and employment rate ( 36.4% vs.8.3%,P =0.032 ) in group B were greater than those in group A,while iPTH [ (83.8 ± 13.4) ng/L vs.( 123.8 ± 12.4) ng/L,P < 0.001 ],HAMD ( 8±2 vs.19 ± 2,P < 0.001 ),and annual medical expense [ ( 10.32±1.64 ) thousand yuan vs.( 13.47 ±2.38 ) thousand yuan,P < 0.001 ] were lower than those in group A,and there was no statistically significant difference in survival rate (70.8% vs.86.4%,P=0.289) and dialysis duration [ ( 56.82 ± 6.13 ) mouths vs.(57.35 ± 6.30) months,P =0.774 ] between the two groups ( P > 0.05 ).Conclusion The comparison between the patients treated by long-term DAPD and those treated by conventional HD shows that DAPD has a satisfactory clinical effect in the aspects of sufficiency of dialysis,maintainence of nutritional status,control of complications,regulation of blood pressure and decrease of infection incidence,and it is also superior in reducing depressive symptoms,ensuring better quality of life and mitigating economic burden of patients.

Objective: To understand AIDS knowledge of the college students,to provide scientific evidence for making out the strategy of health education and synthetic prevention measure purposely.Methods An anonymous questionnaire was conducted with face to face interview to investigate the college students in Xi'an, and the software Epi info 5.0 was used to perform the statistical analysis of the data. Results 70.5% of university students knew the whole name of AIDS. As to three ways of HIV transmission, the investigation shows that 49.1% of college students knew three main ways. The 26.5% of college students mistakenly think that mosquito could transmit HIV. In general, the old, the married the literate, and medical students get more knowledge about AIDS than the young,the unmarried,the illiterate, and other major students. Conclusion The college students who are one of the most dangerous groups infected AIDS have poor knowledge. The situation of poor AIDS knowledge is extremely unfit to the prevalent tendency of AIDS, which our country is being faced. We suggest that the college students should be educated intensively on the health knowledge of AIDS especiallis beingy for freshmen.

Objective To study the effect of survivin anfisense oligonucleotides (ASODN)combined with quercetin on proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle of a hepatocellular carcinoma cell line SSMC-7721 cells. Methods Human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line SSMC-7721 was cultured in vitro,and cells on logarithmic growth phase were used for this experiment. Cell proliferation was measured by MTT assay. The apoptotic rate and cell cycle were examined by flow cytometer (FCM). Morphological change of apoptotic cells were observed by fluorescent microscope. The expression of survivin gene was detected by the method of immunohistochemistry staining and RT-PCR on the mRNA and protein level. Results After sealing survivin gene with ASODN, the proliferation of SSMC-7721 cells was inhibited markedly. FCM analysis showed that there appeared an obvious apoptosis peak after transfection. The inhibitory effect of combined administration of survivin ASODN and quercetin on cell proliferation was much stronger than that of the single way. The result of immunohistochemical and RT-PCR assays showed that survivin ASODN and quercetin inhibited the expression of survivin gene. Conclusion Combined survivin ASODN with quercetin significantly inhibit cell proliferation, down-regulate survivin gene expression and induce the apoptosis of SSMC-7721 cells.
