Objective: To study the clinical role of the variation of serum matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) concentration in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods: ELISA method was adopted to detect serum MMP-8 concentration and to observe concentration's differences and features among 80 selected ACS cases (43 acute myocardial infarction and 37 unstable angina pectoris), 43 stable angina pectoris (SAP) cases and 37 control cases. And meanwhile the atherosclerosis risk factors of each case, such as age, sex, hypertension, body mass index, smoking, family history, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia were collected and analyzed as a whole. Results: First, serum MMP-8 concentration reached the highest point in ACS, and there was significant difference between SAP and control groups (P<0.01). Second, serum MMP-8 in AMI was much higher than that in UAP with significant difference (P<0.01). There was no difference between UAP and SAP groups (P>0.05). Third, Logistic regression analysis revealed that serum MMP-8 concentration might be the indicator of ACS (B=4.493, P=0.000), particularly, that of AMI (B=9.961, P=0.000). Fourth, linear correlation and linear regression analysis found that only neutrophil was likely to influence serum MMP-8 concentration (r=0.274, P=0.001). Fifth, in the diagnosis of ACS, the area under ROC curve of MMP-8 was 0.785, the sensitivity and specificity were 68.6% and 76.5%, respectively. Conclusion: 1 Serum MMP-8 concentration has close relationship with the occurrence of ACS, particularly with AMI; 2 Serum MMP-8 concentration may be one of the predicting indicators of ACS and particularly of AMI; 3 Neutrophil may be correlated with serum MMP-8 concentration; 4 MMP-8 is of somewhat valuable in diagnosing ACS.

In this article,the authors introduced the functions of different catalogue of Traditional Chinese Medicine,together with the development of the past and present condition of catalogue.The authors also presented the opinion on how to work best with it.

Hepatitis C virus(HCV)is the major etiology of non-A,non-B hepatitis.At present,neither a vaccine nor any effective therapy is available.Multi-epitope DNA vaccine(minigenes/epigenes)is a novel nucleic acid vaccine which can induces high effective cellular and humoral immune responses and has good perspective in clearing Hepatitis C virus through screening and assembling optimal antigen epitope genes(T cell、B cell epitope included).It is advanced in covering more HCV subtypes,inducing comprehensive anti-HCV immune responses and reducing the negative influence caused by irrelevant,disturbing and suppressive sequence as far as possible through selecting the most potential protective epitopes in DNA vaccine design.The recent research progress on HCV compound multi-epitope DNA vaccine and future prospects were reviewed.

Colorectal cancer remains a major threat to people’s health around the world. Researchers have paid more and more attention to colorectal cancer epigenetics. From two main aspects of colorectal cancer epigenetics: DNA methylation and histone modiifcation, this article analyzes the similarities and differences between patients with colorectal cancer in Eastern and Western countries. This review brielfy introduces epigenetic modiifcation of genes that were used to be biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Although there are some common features of colorectal cancer in the world, analysis has showed that some obvious epigenetic differences do exist in different races. For example, it had been conifrmed in the studies that there are differences in speciifc gene methylation, histone modiifcation sites and the degree of methylation and acetylation among countries, which provide the basis for speciifc diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of colorectal cancer in different ethnic groups. With improved research methods and increased sample size, more and more special molecular targets of colorectal cancer tissues will be found, and then personalized therapy for colorectal cancer can be achieved.
