The Journal of Practical Medicine 2014;(6):938-940
Objective To discuss the relationship between matrix metalloproteinases 9 (MMP-9) and the pathogenesis of preeclampsia , birth weight and placental weight , through detecting the expression of MMPS-9 in the placenta of the patients with preeclampsia. Methods The levels of MMP-9 in the placenta were detected by immunohistochemical SP method in 60 patients with preeclampsia and 30 pregnancy women. Results (1) The optical density value of MMP-9 in preeclampsia group was lower than the control group , the optical density value of MMP-9 in SPE group was lower than the MPE group (P < 0.05). (2) The placenta weight and birth weight in preeclampsia group were lower than the control group , the placenta weight and birth weight in SPE group was lower than the MPE group (P < 0.05). (3) The expression level of MMP-9 were positively correlated with placental weight and birth weight (P < 0.05) in the control group. (4) The average optical density value of MMP-9 in neonatus with weight < 2 500 g was lower than neonatus with weight≥2 500 g (P < 0.05). Conclusion The MMP-9 in the placenta of patients with preeclampsia was down-regulated , and its expression was abate when the illness grew worse. The MMP-9 may be involved in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia , and it is associated with fetal growth restriction.

OBJECTIVE:To establish quality standard for Jingbi mixture. METHODS:TLC was adopted to identify the Notop-terygii Rhizoma et Radix,Aucklandia lappa and Pueraria lobata and determine the relative density and pH according to pharmaco-poeia method. HPLC was adopted to determine the content of puerarin. Column was XTerra? RP18 with mobile phase of acetoni-trile-0.05% phosphoric(10:90,V/V)at flow rate of 1.0 ml/min,detection wavelength was 250 nm,column temperature was 25 ℃and volume injection was 10 μl. RESULTS:TLC of Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix,A. lappa and P. lobata showed clear spots and good separation. The relative density was 1.08,and pH was 4.5. The linear range of puerarin was 2.079-33.26 μg/ml(r=0.999 8);RSDs of precision,reproducibility and stability tests were lower than 1.0%;recovery was 99.50%-100.50%(RSD=0.42%,n=6). CONCLUSION:The method is simple and good reproducibility,and can be used for the quality control of Jingbi mixture.

Objective:To observe the therapeutic efficacy of puncturing Neiguan (PC 6) and Zusanli (ST 36) on chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting.Methods: In addition to the routine intervention for vomiting, the 26 malignant cancer patients after the platinum-involved chemotherapy were punctured at bilateral Zusanli (ST 36) and Neiguan (PC 6) twice a day before the chemotherapy lasting until 3 days after the chemotherapy, each treatment lasting 30 min. All the patients were adopted the self-comparison approach, i.e., the needling therapy was used either in the first or the second treatment course.Results:As far as the acupuncture treatment group is concerned, 15 cases got nausea and vomiting, including 6 cases of Ⅰ°, 5 cases of Ⅱ°, 2 cases of Ⅲ° and no reaction of Ⅳ°, 11 cases of acute vomiting, 4 cases of delayed vomiting and no case of premature vomiting; while as far as the control group is concerned, 19 cases got nausea and vomiting, including 5 cases of Ⅰ°, 9 cases of Ⅱ°, 4 cases of Ⅲ° and 1 case of Ⅳ°, 13 cases of acute vomiting, 6 cases of delayed vomiting and no case of premature vomiting. The vomiting occurrence rate and degree in the treatment group were both lower than that of the control group(57.7%vs 73.1%, P<0.01) and the patients in the treatment group had an improved life quality.Conclusion:Puncturing the bilateral Zusanli (ST 36) and Neiguan (PC 6) can reduce the gastrointestinal reaction to platinum-involved chemotherapy project and improve the patients' life quality.

AIM: To obtain the glycopohorin A (GPA) cDNA and construct the target gene in yeast two-hybrid.METHODS: About 410 bp cDNA fragment was amplified from K562 cell by RT-PCR.After being sequenced, the GPA gene fragment was cloned into EcoR -Ⅰ- Pst Ⅰ site of pbridge to form BD ends in yeast two-hybrid system. The recombinant plasmid was transfered into yeast AH109, and the expression in the yeast was also examined. RESULTS: The amino acid sequence encoded by cloned cDNA was mostly the same as reported GPA, and about 1 mm white yeast clone grew in the selective medium after 3 d.CONCLUSION: pbridge-GPA has nontoxic to the yeast, which can serve as a target gene in yeast two-hybrid system.

Objective To compare the predictive value of 5 scoring systems for hemorrhagic transformation risk after intravenous thrombolysis in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in different therapeutic windows.Methods A single-center and retrospective study was performed for 243 AIS patients who underwent intravenous thrombolysis using recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) in different therapeutic windows in our department during January 2014 and December 2016.Five scoring systems,including HAT model (hemorrhage after thrombolysis),MSS model (multicenter stoker survey),GRASPS model (glucose at presentation,race,age,sex,systolic blood pressure at presentation,severity of stroke at presentation),SEDAN model (baseline blood sugar,early infarct signs,hyperdense cerebral artery sign on admission CT,age,NIHSS on admission),and SITS model (safe implementation of thrombolysis in strokemonitoring study) were used to evaluate the risks for hemorrhagic transformation.The relationships between the 5 scoring systems and incidence rate of hemorrhagic transformation were analyzed among the patients in different therapeutic windows.The predictive values of the 5 scoring systems were compared using the areas (AUC) under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results When the AIS patients were treated by intravenous thrombolysis within 3 h,the AUC of GRASPS and HAT models were 0.698 and 0.619,respectively,higher than those of the other 3 systems.When the therapeutic window was between 3 to 4.5 h,HAT model and SEDAN model had highest AUC (0.719,0.744) than the other 3 systems (P <0.05).When the windows were >4.5 ~6 h,the HAT model had the highest AUC (0.676).Conclusion The 5 scoring systems show better predictive value for hemorrhagic transformation after intravenous thrombolysis.For the therapeutic window within 4.5 h,HAT model presents best predictive value than the other 4 scoring systems.

Objective To understand the risk factors of measles among babies under 8-months-old and people ≥15 years old,in Gansu province. Methods Laboratory-confirmed measles cases were divided into two groups among children below 8-months-old and those≥15 year olds. Descriptive epidemiology and 1∶3 case control study were conducted to find out those related risk factors as:hospital exposure,contact with measles cases,vaccination,history of measles etc. so as to determine the risk factors and appropriate control measures. Results Histories of hospital exposure,contact with measles cases and travelling to other cities were risk factors for measles among babies younger than 8-months and people≥15 year olds. Vaccination appeared a protective factor for people ≥15 years of age. From 42 cases and 126 controls,through multivariate analysis,results showed that hospital exposure was the only significant factor(OR=29.23,95%CI:2.82-302.89)for those babies younger than 8-months. Factors as hospital exposure and travelling among cities for 7-21 days before being infected,were with significant importance(OR=5.15,95%CI:2.28-11.63;OR=5.48,95%CI:1.38-21.69)for people ≥15 years of age,according to the observation from 74 cases and 222 controls. Conclusion In order to reduce the incidence of measles among babies under 8-month-old and people ≥15 years old, efforts on control of nosocomial infection should be strengthened,while the routine immunization coverage need to be increased for the children at higher risks,to reduce the source of infection.
