Statins is first choice of hypercholesteroiemia. Recently, clinical investigations have shown that statins can correct blood pressure in hypertension patients accompanied with lipid abnormalities. This result can be observed not only in untreated patients but also in patients treated with antihypertensive drugs. But some researches did not support this result completely. To some extend, the mechanisms responsible for the hypotensive effect seem to be largely independent on the effect of statins on lipid profile, and may be related to the improvement of endothelial function and the regulation of angiotensin II receptors.

Objective To evaluate the role of miR219‐2‐3p in gastric cancer and the underlying mechanisms .Methods Real time RT‐PCR was employed to quantify the expression level of miR219‐2‐3p in matched tissues of 82 patients .In vitro cell proliferation , the expression of tumorgenesis related protein ERK1/2 was performed by overexpressing miR‐219‐2‐3p in gastric cancer cell line MGC803 .Results The expression level of miR‐219‐2‐3p significantly decreased in late stage gastric cancer (P< 0 .05) .The cell proliferation rate was significantly reduced in gastric cancer cell lines overexpressing miR‐219‐2‐3p .Furthermore ,the expression level of p‐ERK that activated form of ERK was significantly decreased whereas the total level of ERK was unchanged after overex‐pressing of miR‐219‐2‐3p in MGC803 cell lines .The expression level of p‐ERK was also increased in gastric cancer tissues .Conclu‐sion miR‐219‐2‐3p may acts as a tumor suppressor in gastric cancer by decreasing the activity of ERK 1/2 signaling pathway .

A new compound and five known compounds were isolated from the ethanolic extract of the leaves of Ilex pernyi Franch. Their structures were established on the basis of spectral analysis and identified as trans-isoeugenyl-α-L-arabinopynosyl(1→6)-β-D-glucopyranoside (1), kaempferol-3-O-sambubioside (2), quercetin-3-O-sambubioside (3), isoquercitrin (4), (+)-syringaresinol-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (5), amarantholidoside IV (6). Among them, compound 1 is a new phenolic glycoside, named as ilexperphenoside A, and compounds 2-6 were isolated from this plant for the first time.

Human parvovirus B19, generally referred to as B19 virus, has been closely associated with a variety of different autoimmune diseases due to the features of its capsid protein. B19 virus VP1 unique region protein that has sites of phospholipase A2 and several antigenic determinants is exposed on the outside of the viral capsid protein. As a result of that, B19 virus VP1 unique region protein can stimulate the host to produce autoantibodies, which induces and/or aggravates the autoimmune diseases. The biological characteristics of B19 virus VP1 unique region protein and its relationships with autoimmune diseases are de-scribed in this review based upon the published literatures and the work achieved by our research team. This review will be helpful to the prevention and treatment of B19 virus infection.

Objective: To establish the quality standard for Ehong capsules.Methods: A TLC was adopted to identify safflower, pueraria and prepared Radix Polygoni Multiflori.The contents of hydroxyl-safflor yellow A and puerarin in Ehong capsules were determined by a dual wavelength HPLC.A Wondasil C 18-WR (250 mm× 4.6 mm ,5 μm) was used as the analytical column, the mobile phase was composed of methanol acetonitrile-0.7% phosphoric acid aqueous solution (16∶3∶81), the flow rate was 1.0 ml·min-1 ,the detection wavelength was 403 nm for hydroxy safflower yellow A and 250 nm for puerarin.The column temperature was 30℃.Results: The TLC spots were clear and well-separated without negative interference.The calibration curves of hydroxyl-safflor yellow A and puerarin were linear over the ranges, the average recovery was 101.02% and 100.03% , and the RSD was 1.43% and 2.40% (n =6), respectively.Conclusion: The method is fast and accurate with good specificity, which can be used for the quality control of Ehong capsules.

Objective To understand the characteristics of problem behaviors among junior middle school students in northern Guizhou rural areas to provide reference for formulating the intervention measures .Methods The Chinese middle school students mental health scale and the self-made externalizing behavior problem questionnaire were adopted to perform the questionnaire sur-vey on left-behind kids of 6 junior middle schools .Results In the implicit problem behavior ,the scores of girls in hostility ,interper-sonal ,depression factor ,anxiety and total score were higher than those of boys ,and the each factor score was increased with grade ;in the explicit behavioral problems ,the occurrence rates of smoking ,drinking and gambling in boys were higher ,the detection rates of smoking and gambling were higher than those in students ,the occurrence rates of suicidal idea and leaving from home idea in students were 13 .1% and 22 .2% respectively ,in which the occurance rates of girls were higher than those in boys .The detection rate of sex related behaviors in boys was higher than that in girls .Conclusion The problem behaviors appear the gender and grade differences among left-behind kids in northern Guizhou rural areas .The differential mental health education should be carried out according to different target behaviors .

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of lymphocyte count as a surrogate for CD4+T cell count in treatment-na(i)ve HIV-infected adults.Methods A total of 2 013 HIV-infected patients were screened at 23 sites in China.CD4+ T cell counts were measured by flow cytometry.Correlation between CD4+ T cell count and peripheral lymphocyte count were analyzed by spearman coefficient.AUCRoc were used to evaluate the performance of lymphocyte count as a surrogate for CD4+ T cell count.Results The lymphocyte count and CD4+T cell count of these 2 013 patients were (1 600±670) × 106/L and (244 ± 148) × 106/L respectively.CDa+ T cell count were positively correlated with lymphocyte count(r =0.482,P ＜0.000 1).AUCROC of lymphocyte count as a surrogate for CD4+ T cell counts of ＜ 100 × 106/L,＜200 × 106/L and ＜ 350 × 106/L were 0.790 (95％ CI 0.761-0.818,P ＜ 0.000 1),0.733 (95％ CI 0.710-0.755,P ＜ 0.000 1) and 0.732 (95％ CI 0.706-0.758,P ＜ 0.000 1) respectively.Conclusion Lymphocyte count could be considerad as a potential surrogate marker for CD4+ T cell count in HIV/AIDS patients not having access to T cell subset test by flowcytometry.
