Objective To observe the action of Rhodiola Crenulate(RC) oral liquid reproduction function for the male rats. Methods 100 SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups with equal gender number respectively. The male rats were given RC oral liquid (0, 2.48 g/kg, 7.48 g/kg, 24.80 g/kg) and Nanbao (2.00 g/kg)by oral twice a day for 48 d, respectively. Then the male rat was put into the same box in which the female rat whit two-side ovarys were excised for 15 d, respectively. The intercoursing ability,testosterone levels, and the weight of immune organs of the male rats were examined. 40 four-week-old rats were divided into 5 groups. Except for blank control, all rats's testis were excised. The castrated rats were treated with RC oral liquid (2.48 g/kg, 24.8 g/kg)and Methyltestosterone (2.00 mg/kg). The blank control group and model control group were given the same dose NS by oral twice a day for 28 d, respectively. The weight of accessory sex organs in castrated rats was observed. Results The level of testosterone and the organ coefficients of thymus and spleen in RC oral liquid groups were higher than blank control (P<0.05 or P<0.01).The weight of accessory sex organs of castrated rats in RC oral liquid groups were heavier than model control (P<0.05). Conclusion RC oral liquid can improve the reproduction function in male rats.

OBJECTIVE:To excavate and evaluate the security alert signals of linezolid after marketing,and to provide refer-ence for rational drug use in clinic. METHODS:The reporting odds ratio(ROR)method was used to excavate the security alert signals from the adverse drug events(ADE)data in the OpenFDA platform of FDA during second quarter of 2004-2016. The low-er limit of 95%CI >1 was regarded as suggestive of ADE alert signal. RESULTS:A total of 6828534 reports were extracted, among which there were 7224 reports mainly induced by linezolid. Top 10 ADE reports were thrombocytopenia,drug interac-tion,thrombocytopenia,nausea,anaemia,serotonin syndrome,diarrhoea,pyrexia,drug ineffective,vomiting. After the detec-tion of top 200 ADE reports by ROR method,120 signals related to 18 system organ class(SOC)were identified. Top 5 ADE sig-nals in turn by SOC were medical examination,nervous system disorders,blood and lymphatic system disorders,metabolism and nutrition disorders,cardiac disorders. The high risk signals with clinical reference value included 42 cases of optic neuropathy (ROR=56.33),350 cases of serotonin syndrome(ROR=52.86),162 cases of lactic acidosis(ROR=18.30),31 cases of endo-carditis (ROR=15.38),566 cases of thrombocytopenia (ROR=14.29),122 cases of bone marrow failure (ROR=14.20),261 cases of panhematopenia (ROR=11.92),86 cases of disseminated intravascular coagulation (ROR=10.91),58 cases of toxic epidermal necrolysis(ROR=9.06),etc. As for ADE reports,male was slightly higher than female,and the patients in age group of ≥45 reported evidently more compared to younger age group. CONCLUSIONS:By detecting and evaluating alert signals of li-nezolid through OpenFDA platform,we could effectively lay the foundation for further research of pharmacovigilance.

Objective To study the effects of tetramethylpyrazine(TMP) on the expression of nuclear factor-kappa B(NF-?B) induced by advanced glycation end products(AGEs) in retinal pigment epithelial(RPE).Methods The expressions of NF-?B were detected by immunohistochemical method when the RPE cells were cultured with different concentrations of AGEs in different time points.Results With the increasing of concentrations of AGEs,the expression of NF-?B in RPE was increased gradually.The expression of NF-?B in RPE was higher when the cells were cultured with AGEs for 24 h than that of other time points.With the increasing of the concentration of TMP,the expression of NF-?B in RPE was decreased gradually.Conclusion The AGEs can induce the expression of NF-?B in RPE,and the TMP can prevent the effects of AGEs in a concentration dependent manner.

Objective To study the correlation of expression of DNA topoisomerase Ⅱ alpha (TOP2A)with expressions of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)and phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN)and gene mutation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)in breast cancer so as to provide reference for prognosis of the cancer and evaluation of drug efficiency.Methods This study enrolled totally 96 breast cancer patients. Tumor specimens were resected.The gene expressions of TOP2A,HER2 and PTEN were analyzed using branched DNA-liquid-chip,and PI3K gene mutation was detected by xTAG-liquid-chip.Correlations between gene expressions and gene mutation were further explored by Spearman correlation analysis so as to clarify the relationship between TOP2A and HER2 signaling pathway gene.Results Co-expression of TOP2A and HER2 was strong,and TOP2A tended to be highly expressed in the presence of high expression of HER2 (P =0.01).The expression of PTEN was not significantly correlated with the expression of TOP2A,whereas the mutation of PI3K had a positive association with the high expression of TOP2A (P =0.004).Conclusion Anthracycline drug resistance factor TOP2A may be related to the critical factors of HER2 signaling pathway,suggesting that HER2 expression and PI3K mutation may be key factors in regulation of TOP2A expression,which would provide important evidence for chemotherapeutic resistance.

BACKGROUND:Numerous studies have shown that air wave pressure therapy plays an important role in prevention of deep venous thrombosis of lower limb after a major operation on the hip.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the efficacy of air wave pressure therapy on deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremity in patients with total knee arthroplasty.
METHODS:A total of 80 patients with total knee arthroplasty were randomly divided into experimental group and control group. Patients in the control group were treated only with conventional method to help the patient massage the lower extremity by the nurse and combined with active functional exercise;patients in the experimental group were treated with air wave pressure therapy at 2 days postoperatively, and were also treated with conventional method to help the patient massage the lower extremity by the nurse and combined with active functional exercise. Swel ing index, coagulation index and the number of patients with deep venous thrombosis of the lower extremity were recorded in both groups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 2 weeks after treatment, swel ing index, coagulation index and the number of patients with deep venous thrombosis of the lower extremity were significantly reduced in the experimental group, and its effects were significantly better than those in the control group (P<0.05). Early use of air wave pressure therapy after total knee arthroplasty can al eviate limb swel ing effectively and have obvious advantages in improving coagulation index and blood coagulation condition and in preventing deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremity after total knee arthroplasty.

Objective To investigate the effect of prosthetic replacement for senior patients with unstable intertrochanteric fractures of the femur.Methods Fifty-three senior patients with comminuted intertrochanteric fracture of the femur were subjected to total hip arthroplasty (n =23) and bipolar artificial femoral head replacement (n =30).Uncemented long-stem prostheses were used in 50 patients and cemented long-stem prostheses in 3.Time interval between admission and surgery was 3-13 days (mean 6 days).Results The total hip arthroplasty had the operation time for mean 90 minutes (range,80-110 minutes) and blood loss for mean 350 ml (range,260-410 ml).While the hemiarthroplasty had operation time for mean 65 minutes (range,50-90 minutes) and blood loss for mean 230 ml (range,180-290 ml).Fifty-one patients were available to mean 49.6-month follow-up (range,13-65 months).Four patients presented with frequent hip pain at a tolerable level after hemiarthroplasty and the symptom was relieved after oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug therapy.One patient with postoperative infection was cured by timely debridement.Seven patients were died of heart and brain disorders in 5 years,with no relation to surgical complications.The period for fracture healing was mean 10 months,with excellence rate of 96% for hip function but with no acetabulum abrasion,implant loosening or submersion.Conclusion Early prosthetic replacement is an effective treatment for unstable intertrochanteric femoral fractures in the elderly.
