AIM: To study the volatile oil of GanluXiaodu Granules GLXD (Talcum, Herba Artemisiae Scopariae, Radix Scutellariae etc.) and establish it's fingerprint. METHODS: By capillary gas chromatography. RESULTS: The fingerprints of volatile oil in Ganlu Xiaodu Granules were composed of 56 peaks, among which there were 17 characteristic peaks, having 86.97% of total area of the whole fingerprints peaks. The average RSD of retention time of characteristic peaks was 0.33%, that of peak-area was 2.76%. CONCLUSION: The fingerprints of volatile in Ganlu Xiaodu Granules can be used to control the quality.

BACKGROUND:A number of studies have shown that there are many inducible methods by which bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s can differentiate into hepatocytes, but the specific molecular mechanism is unclear yet. OBJECTIVE:To review the programs and underlying mechanisms by which bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s differentiate into hepatocytes. METHODS:A computer-based online search of CNKI, VIP, WanFang and PubMed databases was performed to retrieve articles about directional differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s into hepatocytes published between 2004 and 2015. The key words were“hepatocyte (-like) cel s, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s, differentiation”in Chinese and English, respectively. Final y, 62 articles were included in result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There are many programs for hepatic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s, but the specific molecular mechanism is stil unclear. Many studies mainly focus on Notch signaling pathway, Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, P38 signal pathway, miR-122 and effect of calcium ions. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s that can be induced to differentiate into mature hepatocytes provide an ideal cel ular source for hepatocyte transplantation and artificial liver, which is proposed to be a new strategy for clinical treatment of end-stage liver disease.

After 1 month or 6 months ,the two groups of patients′qualities of life were significantly increased ,but the experimental group′was improved more obviously(P<0 .05) .After 6 months ,the degree of satisfaction of the experimental group was 91 .6% (458/500) , the control group′was 68 .2% (341/500) .The satisfaction of experimental group was significantly higher than the control group (P<0 .05) .Conclusion The management model to patients with type 2 diabetes could effectively improve patients′metabolic level and reduces the occurrences of complications and improves the therapeutic effect .

Objective To explore the effects of Yishen Capsule on the soluble endothelium protein C receptor (sEPCR) and P-selectin (CD62P) as well as the serum levels of immunoglobulin (Ig) and complement 3 (C3) in patients with chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN). Methods The changes of sEPCR and CD62P levels in plasma as well as Ig and C3 levels in serum were assessed in 40 normal subjects and 78 patients before and after treatment by double-antibody enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, flow cytometry and immunoturbidimetry, respectively. Results Compared with those in normal group before treatment, the levels of sEPCR and CD62P in plasma as well as IgA in serum increased obviously (P<0.01), and the levels of IgG and IgM as well as C3 in serum decreased significantly in CGN patients (P<0.01). After three months' treatment with Yishen Capsule, the levels of sEPCR and CD62P in plasma and IgA in serum decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the levels of IgG and IgM in plasma as well as C3 in serum increased obviously (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion The mechanism of Yishen Capsule's effect in treating patients with CGN may be correlated with decreasing sEPCR and CD62P levels in plasma as well as regulating the levels of Ig in serum and C3.

Objective To evaluate the value of glycogen phosphorylase isoenzyme BB (GPBB) in the diagnosis of early acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods The plasma levels of GPBB were mea-sured by sandwich ELISA in 115 patients with suspected AMI at admission within 6 hours after onset of chest pain and 55 normal healthy subjects. The plasma concent of cardiac troponin-Ⅰ (cTnI), creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) and myoglobin (MYO) was assayed at the same time by using corpuscle chemiluminescence. The patients were classified retrospectively into AMI group (n = 45) , unstable angina pectoris (UAP) group (n =40) , stable angina pectoris (SAP) group (n = 13) and non-cardiac chest pain (NCCP) group (n =17).The diagnostic validity was evaluated in terms of sensitivity and specificity. Results The diagnostic sensitivity of GPBB for AMI was 64.29 % within 3 hours and 88.89 % within 6 hours after onset of chest pain,which is significantly higher than that of cTnI (28.57 %, 60.00 %) and CK-MB (21.43 %, 64.44 % ). There was no significant difference in specificity among the four markers. The diagnostic accuracy of GPBB within 3hours and 6 hours (80.77 %, 89.57% ) was significantly higher than that of cTnI (61.54%, 81.74% ),CK-MB (50.00%, 75.65%) and MYO (73.08% ,73.91%). Conclusions GPBB seems to be a sensitive and specific biochemical cardiac marker for AMI in the early stage. Its diagnostic accuracy is higher than that of cTnI, CK-MB, MYO.

Objective To compare the changes of plasma lipid indexes and coronary artery atherosclerotic plaque in TaqI B genotypes in CHD patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) before and after statin therapy. Methods A total of 196 CHD with IGT and 160 controls were included. The changes of plasma lipid indexes and coronary artery atherosclerotic plaque in TaqI B genotypes were analyzed before and after Rosovastatin therapy. Sequenom Mass ARRAY platform was used to detect the CETP TaqI B SNPs. Results The genotype frequency of the B1B1, B1B2 and B2B2 in CHD with IGT group was 35.7%, 48.0% and 16.3% respectively, while in control group was 31.3%, 53.1% and 15.6% respectively. HDL-C, PA and MLA levels increased after Rosuvastatin therapy, while LDL-C, TG, TCH, Lpa, PA, EEMA and PB levels decreased. Conclusions CETP gene polymorphisms TaqI B would have association with the effects of Rosuvastatin therapy in the CHD with IGT.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of Qufeng Tongluo Recipe (QFTLR), a compound of traditional Chinese herbal medicine for dispelling wind and removing obstruction in the meridians, on cell proliferation and expressions of transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) mRNAs induced by lippolysaccharide in glomerular mesangial cells from rats. METHODS: The method of serum pharmacology was used. A total of 32 rats were divided into normal control group, untreated group, QFTLR group and positive control group which also was named Monopril (fosinopril sodium) group. Mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis was induced by injection of antithymocyte serum in the rats except for the normal control group. Sera of the rats were obtained after corresponding interventions. Lipopolysaccharide-induced proliferation of rat mesangial cells (MCs) cultured in the respective serum-containing media was detected by the method of methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay, and the expressions of TGF-beta1 and IL-6 mRNAs were analyzed by the method of reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: Compared with the untreated group, QFTLR showed remarkable inhibitory function on the proliferation of the mesangial cells (P<0.05). The expressions of TGF-beta1 mRNA in mesangial cells were increased in the untreated group, QFTLR group and Monopril group when compared with the normal control group (P<0.01), but the TGF-beta1 mRNA expressions in QFTLR group and in Monopril group were lower than that in the untreated group. The IL-6 mRNA expression could be increased by the LPS stimulation, and it was significantly higher in the other three groups than that in the normal control group, including the untreated group, the Monopril group and the QFTLR group (P<0.01). Compared with the untreated group, the expression of IL-6 mRNA was decreased by QFTLR and Monopril (P<0.01). QFTLR was better than Monopril in inhibiting the proliferation of the mesangial cells and decreasing the expressions of TGF-beta1 and IL-6 mRNAs (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: QFTLR has great inhibitory effect on mesangial cell proliferation and expressions of TGF-beta1 and IL-6 mRNAs, which may be one of its mechanisms in postponing glomerular sclerosis.
