Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of "dispersing lung-qi and relieving asthma, warming Yang to induce diuresis" method on CPHD patients during acute period with peripheral edema and observe the effect on ADH. Methods The CPHD patients during acute period with peripheral edema were randomly divided into treatment group and control group. The treatment group received Chinese medicine adding to regular western medicine, the principle is dispersing lung-qi and relieving asthma, resolving phlegm to stop coughing, warming Yang to induce diuresis. The control group received placebo adding to regular western medicine. Both of the groups were treated for 14 days. The effect observed indexes were as follows:general curative effect, integral of main symptoms of TCM, integral of western medical signs, serum electrolyte, etc. Mechanism index was about ADH. Results The treatment group had better effects than the control group on the general curative effect, reducing integral of symptoms and signs, rectifying electrolyte and acid-alkaline-balance disturbances, etc. The safety analysis of two groups had no significant abnormality. Meanwhile, the treatment group had more superiority than the control group on reducing serum ADH. Conclusion The comprehensive treatment of traditional Chinese and western medicine probably has more advantage in increasing the general effect, improving symptoms and signs, rectifying electrolyte and acid-alkaline-balance disturbances, etc. This therapeutic method can restrain secretion of ADH. It indicates that restraining secretion of ADH maybe part of the mechanism of using "dispersing lung-qi and relieving asthma, warming Yang to induce diuresis" method to treat CPHD patient during acute period with peripheral edema.

To observe the effects of simvastatin on nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB)-DNA binding activity and on the expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in atherosclerotic plaque in rabbits and to explore the anti-atherosclerotic properties beyond its lipid-lowering effects. Thirty-six New Zealand male rabbits were randomly divided into low-cholesterol group (LC), high-cholesterol group (HC), high-cholesterol+simvastatin group (HC+S) and then were fed for 12 weeks. At the end of the experiment, standard enzymatic assays, electrophoretic mobility shiftassay (EMSA), immunohistochemical staining, and morphometry were performed to observe serum lipids, NF-kappaB-DNA binding activity, MCP-1 protein expression, intima thickness and plaque area of aorta respectively in all three groups. Our results showed that the serum lipids, NF-kappaB-DNA binding activity, expression of MCP-1 protein, intima thickness, and plaque area of aorta in the LC and HC+S groups were significantly lower than those in the HC group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the serum lipids between the LC and HC+S groups (P>0.05), but the NF-kappaB-DNA binding activity, the expression of MCP-1 protein and the intima thickness and plaque area of aorta in the HC+S group were significantly decreased as compared to the LC group (P<0.05). This study demonstrated that simvastatin could decrease atherosclerosis by inhibiting the NF-kappaB-DNA binding activity and by reducing the expression of MCP-1 protein.

Objective To construct a model of Graves'disease ( GD ) with ( or ) Graves'ophthalmopathy ( GO) in BALB/c mice by immunization with pcDNA3. 1/TSHR289. Methods pcDNA3. 1/TSHR289 was injected into the bilateral gastrocnemius muscle of 35 model mice and electroporation was immediately performed. 10 control mice were injected with sterile saline and electroporated, while 5 blank mice were injected with sterile saline only. Each group of mice was immunized at 1, 4, 7, and 10 weeks, respectively. Serum total T4 , TSH, TSAb, and TSBAb were measured before immunization, 2 weeks after each immunization, as well as 5 and 8 weeks after the last immunization. CT scan was used to evaluate the morphological changes of the eyes of the mice.99m TcO4- imaging was used to measure the thyroid uptake function, and the pathological changes of the thyroid and orbital tissues were evaluated by HE staining. Results After the 2nd time immunization, the serum concentrations of TT4 , TSAb and TSBAb in GD mice were significantly higher than those of control and blank groups( F=13.781, 31.435, 36.112, P<0.01, respectively).The TSH continued to be significantly lower than that of control and blank groups(F=13.966, P<0.01) . After the 4th time immunizations, the ability of uptaking99m TcO4- in GD mice thyroid was significantly enhanced compared with the control group. The thyroid goiter with a large amount of lymphocyte infiltration, and the thyroid follicle was thin. CT scan of GO mice showed thickening and swelling of the extraocular muscles, and no abnormalities in tendon and muscle attachment points. HE staining showed thickening of extraocular muscle fibers, lymphocyte infiltration of extraocular muscles and orbital tissue, increased hyaluronic acid, and infiltration of fat cells. Conclusion GD or GO model can be successfully induced by multiple intramuscular injection of pcDNA3.1/TSHR289 in BALB/c mice.
