Based on collecting data at home and abroad, we combined clinical practice of scientific researches. We also summarized key points for design and evaluation of clinical studies in treating children's attention deficit hyperactivity disorder by Chinese medical new drugs from objective and design, selection of diagnostic criteria, recruitment and dropping-out of subjects, effectiveness evaluation, safety evaluation, drug combination, and quality control, and so on. We hope to provide reference for design and evaluation of clinical studies by Chinese medical new drugs.

BACKGROUND:Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone mineral density and/or poor bone microarchitecture leading to an increased risk of fractures. Oral manifestations can be frequently discovered in osteoporosis patients. Osteoporosis therapies have mostly relied on antiresorptive drugs. Parathyroid hormone plays a significant role in osteogenesis and calcium deposition. Intermittent exposure to parathyroid hormone has been widely proved to lead to a net increase in bone formation.
OBJECTIVE: To discuss the possibly celular and molecular mechanism of parathyroid hormone in strengthening the bone mineral density and regulating bone formation.
METHODS: An online search of CNKI and Medline databases was performed for relevant articles using keywords of “parathyroid hormone; osteoporosis; osteoblast; osteogenesis” in Chinese and English, respectively. Relevant articles were summarized from three aspects: effects of parathyroid hormone on differentiation and proliferation of osteoblasts, effects of parathyroid hormone on osteoblast apoptosis, and the relationship of parathyroid hormone with Wnt/beta-catenin pathway and other cytokines. According to inclusion criteria, 41 articles were retained at last.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Parathyroid hormone exerts an effect on parathyroid hormone type I receptor, triggering a classic G protein signaling pathway. Parathyroid hormone mainly works through protein kinase A signaling pathway, adjusting its downstream c-reactive protein. Intermittent use of parathyroid hormone can increase osteoblast proliferation, increase osteoblast runx2 and osteocalcin at mRNA and protein levels, inhibit osteoblast apoptosis by against oxidative stress, so as to promote osteogenesis.

AIM:It has been recently proved that either decreased number or impaired function of CD4+CD25+regulatory T cells(Treg)can lead to immune dysfunction.Deeper knowledge of CD4+CD25+Treg cells is crucial for a better understanding of the pathogenesis of many diseases,such as autoimmune diseases,graft-versus-host disease,and allergic disease.This study is aimed to investigate the correlation of CD4+CD25+Treg cells in patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura(ITP)and to analyze the possible immunopathogenesis. METHODS:The experiment was conducted in the laboratory of Institute of Hematology,Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College from June to September in 2007.After the patients and their relative signed informed consents, peripheral blood was obtained from ITP patients(n=27)and health people(n=15)admitted in the Hematology Hospital,Peking Union Medical College.All patients accorded with the standards of ITP diagnosis and curative effect.The amount of CD4+CD25+ Treg cells in peripheral blood of normal controls and ITP patients before and after therapy was detected by flow cytometry.For those 23 patients who received effective therapy,blood before and after therapy were both obtained,the mononuclear cells(MNCs)were isolated from peripheral blood by density gradient centrifugation,then reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) was used to analyze the expression of Foxp3 mRNA. RESULTS:The amount of CD4+CD25+Treg cells and the ratio of CD4+CD25+Treg to total CD4+T cells in peripheral blood of ITP patients were obviously decreased than those of the controls(P0.05),but the expression of Foxp3 mRNA in CD4+CD25+ Treg cells was significantly increased(P

Objective To explore the role of MRI(T1ρ)in the early osteoarthritis,curative efficacy monitoring and speculated that the mechanism of curative effect.Methods (1)(early OA model)A total of 28 New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into A,B,C three groups.group A(treatment)and B(control)were both for 1 1 rabbits,and 6 rabbits were considered as blank control group(group C).0.5 mL 1.6% papain was injected into the right knee joint cavity both group A and B according to three times (1,4,7 days).The equivalent dilution was injected into the left knee joint cavity simultaneously.3 weeks after the first injection,and T2 WI,3D-FS-SPGR,and T1ρ mapping in sagittal plain were scanned for three groups.Randomly selected two models pathology test in the group A and B,confirm early OA model is established.(2)(treat models)Then give epimedium lavage to group A two month.The equivalent sterile saline lavage to group B.A certain time (T0 = 0,T1 = 1 mon,T2 = 2 mon)after treated do MR scanned for group A and B.Analysis of the image.T1ρvalues and the cartilage thickness in bilateral femoral condyle cartilage were measured by post-processing software.The all femurs were pathological examined.T1ρvalues and the cartilage thickness were statistic analysis. Results (1)Articular cavity injection of papain can successfully establish early osteoarthritis rabbit model which pathology has been confirmed.T1ρvalues of the experimental (group A,B)were significant higher than of the control side(P<0.05).Cartilage thickness values of the experimental (group A,B)and the control side has no statistical significance(P >0.05).(2)T1ρvalues of the Epimedium treat model (right side)were significant lower than of the pre-treatment that of the preintervention (P <0.05 ).T1ρvalues of the NS treatment (left side)and the pre-treatment has no statistical significance(P>0.05).Conclusion (1)T1ρvalues of the early and advanced stage of OA had increased in various degree,and the values related cartilage matrix composition.(2 )Single herb Epimedium has effective to treat early stages osteoarthritis in knee joint.Spec-ulated that the possible mechanism for treatment common channel in the development of OA,which inhibition protease formation and promote proteoglycan secretion.

Objective To provide reference for developing and perfecting the open resources of national-wide cancer genomics-related data by collecting, systematizing, organizing, sharing and applying the related data of the National Genome Atlas ( TCGA) Program. Methods The technical process, sharing and use of TCGA Program data were in-vestigated. Results TCGA established the whole linkage data management process by cooperating with multiple cen-ters, including tissue sample collection, processing, quality control, sequencing, characteristics analysis, data sharing and application of research achievements. The data were classified according to the related cancer, data types and their processing. The mutation, amplification and deficit of related cancer characteristic genes and the af-fected signaling pathways were studied according to the two sharing mechanisms underlying open access and con-trolled access to the collected data and individual data. Conclusion Studies on TCGA Program can provide experi-ences and reference in data management for the implementation of large scale TCGA Program.

Objective To study protective immunity effects of co-immunization with P30 DNA vaccine and protein vaccine. Methods Forty-eight 5-6 weeks old BALB/c female mice were divided into four groups (A,B,C,D), 12 mice of each group. In group A (control group) each mouse was immunized with 100 ?g pcDNA3.1 plasmid DNA by intramuscular (i.m.) for three times at week 0,2 and 4; in group B (P30 protein group) each mouse was immunized (i.m.) with 50 ?g rP30+50 ?g CFA for three times at week 0, 2 and 4; in group C (pcDNA3.1-P30 group) each mouse was immunized with 100 ?g pcDNA3.1-P30 plasmid DNA (i.m.) for three times at week 0, 2 and 4; in group D (P30 DNA+rP30 co-immunization group) each mouse was immunized with 100 ?g pcDNA3.1-P30 plasmid DNA (i.m.) for two times at week 0, 2 and immunized by subcutaneous with 50 ?g rP30+50 ?g CFA at week 4. Each mouse was infected with 100 tachyzoites of Toxoplasma gondii RH strain four weeks later after last immunization. The anti-P30 antibodies were detected with ELISA before the challenge. Results The P30 DNA vaccine was successfully constructed. High titers of anti-P30 antibodies were induced in each mouse immunized with DNA vaccine. The protective trial proved that there was no significant difference between control group and experimental group though the survival time of mouse from experimental group had been prolonged. Conclusion The P30 DNA vaccine could induced high titers of anti- P30 antibodies in immunized mice, and it may be a potential DNA vaccine candidate.
