ObjectiveTo approach effects of acupuncture on ganglioside in rats with acute cerebral ischemia.Methods204 Wistar rats were randomly divided into the normal group, model group, acupuncture group and medicine group, and middle cerebral artery embolism has been made by thread-ligation method in the latter three groups. Ganglioside content in the rat brain had been measured respectively after cerebral ischemia 1,2,3,5,7,12 and 24 hours.ResultsThe content of lipid-bound sialic acid (LBSA) has decreased significantly after the acute cerebral ischemia, but LBSA contents of the acupuncture group and medicine group were higher significantly than that of the model group, and these two groups have been similar in curative effect, and have difference only at embolism 2,3 and 5 hours.Conclusion Acupuncture can regulate ganglioside and play the role of cerebral protection and neuroplasticity.

Objective To evaluate the effect of Ganoderma lucidum on drug resistance of the cisplantin-resistant ovarian cancer cell line(A2780CP).Methods The A2780CP cells were randomly divided into control group and test group.The cells in control group and test group were incubated in culture media alone and in culture media containing Ganoderma lucidum 0.5 mg/ml for 48 h respectively.The resistance index(RI) of A2780CP was determined by WST-1 assay.The expression of Akt,Bcl-2 and p53 protein was measured by Western blot.Results The RI was significantly deeressed,the expression of Akt and Bcl-2 protein was down-regulated,while p53 protein expression was up-regulated in test group as compared with control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Ganoderma lueidum can reduce the resistance of A2780 CP cells to cisplantin by down-regulating the expression of Akt and Bcl-2 and up-regulating p53 expression in A2780CP cells.

This study was aimed to establish a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method coupled with Evaporative Light-scattering Detector (ELSD) in order to develop the determination of fingerprint of terpene lactones in Ginkgo biloba tablets. An Agilent Extend-C18 (4.6 mm í 250 mm, 5 μm) was employed as the analysis column and the normal propyl alcohol-tetrahydrofuran-water (1:15:84) as mobile phase. The column temperature was 30℃. And the flow rate was 1.0 mL·min-1. HPLC coupled with electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (Q-TOF MS) was used to identify the common peaks. The fingerprint was further evaluated by chemometrics methods including principal component analysis (PCA), similarity analysis (SA) and hierarchical clus-tering analysis (HCA). The results showed that the precision, stability and repeatability of this method were favorable. Five common peaks were identified by LC/Q-TOF MS as ginkgolide J ( M ) , C , A , B and bilobalide , respectively . Fourteen batches of Ginkgo biloba tablets were determined. With the aid of PCA, SA and HCA, the common pattern of the fingerprint of terpene lactones was established. Samples were divided into 4 clusters by their quality differ-ence. It was concluded that the method established in this paper can be used for quality evaluation of terpene lac-tones in G ink go b ilob a tablets.

Granzyme exists in the cytotoxic granules and belongs to a highly homologous serine protease family. Granzyme is synthesized and released from natural killer cells and cytotoxic lymphocytes. It induces multiple programmed death with the participation of perforin and is an important medium for immune cells to exert anti-tumor effects. This article reviews the granzyme-mediated tumor cell death and the relationship between granzyme and kinds of ways of cell apoptosis, in order to provide new theoretical basis and therapeutic strategies for tumor therapy.

DNA methylation studies the natural modification of DNA that occurs when the nucleotide sequence is unchanged. At present, DNA methylation is used in the field of biomedicine to focus on the characteristics and regularity of disease-wide genome methylation and the DNA methylation biomarkers for disease. Based on the systematic review of DNA methylation research techniques, this paper summarizes and analyzes the current status of DNA methylation technology in basic research of TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) syndromes, and a suggestion to screen the TCM syndrome biomarkers from whole genome DNA methylation is proposed.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of elderly patients with stage 3-4 chronic kidney disease ( CKD ) and to analyze the risk factors of the kidney function progression. Methods This was a cross-sectional study. The clinic data of elderly patients (≥60 years) with stable clinical manifestation in Beijing Hospital from January ,2014 to December ,2015 was collected.Based upon the eGFR derived from Cockcroft-Gault (CG) equation ,all patients were divided into groups of CKD 3a group ,CKD 3b group and CKD 4 group ,respectively. Moreover ,patients were separated into the old group (< 80 years) and the very old group (≥80 years) based on the age. The demographic features ,primary diseases history ,body mass index (BMI) ,blood routine ,urine routine , blood biochemistry ,Cystatin C and iPTH were recorded.Logistic regression analysis of kidney function progression was also conducted. Results One-hundred and eighty-three cases were enrolled with a mean age of(80 ± 9)years.Along with the descent of kidney function ,the age ,levels of proteinuria and iPTH gradually ascended (F= 12.352 ,5.910 ,5.910 ;P= 0.000 ,0.003 ,0.003 ,respectively) and the BMI and serum albumin gradually descended (F=9.758 ,11.088 ;P=0.000 ,0.000 ,respectively).In addition ,compared to the old group ,very old group was associated with decreased level of eGFR [(37.1 ± 9.9) ml·min-1·1.73 m -2vs. (44.0 ± 12.0) ml·min-1·1.73 m -2,t= -4.280 ,P=0.000] and increasedlevelofCystatinC[(1.71±0.84)mg/L vs. (1.40±0.69)mg/L ,t=3.484 ,P=0.001].The Logistic regression analysis indicated that the proteinuria was an independent risk factor for the progression of kidney function ( OR =3.856 ,P=0.004). Conclusions As the gradually descended of the eGFR level in elderly patients with stage 3-4 CKD ,age ,proteinuria and iPTH gradually ascended ,BMI and serum albumin descended ,respectively. The level of eGFR decreased and CystatinC increased significantly with the increasing age. Proteinuria was an independent risk factor for progression of the kidney function.
