OBJECTIVE: To observation the effects of Glycosaminoglycan from Scallop Skirt (SS-GAG) on the production of vasoactive substance in the endothelial cells injured by hydrogen peroxide(H2O2). METHODS: In H2O2-induced en-dothelial cell oxidative damage model group which was established with human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC, ECV304) cultured in vitro, SS-GAG groups (at different concentrations) and the normal group, levels of 6-keto-PGF1a, Thromboxane-B2 and Endothelin (ET) in the culture fluid were detected by radioimmunity assay and the content of nitric oxide was determined by nitrate reductase method. RESULTS: As compared with model group, SS-GAG (at different concentrations) significantly enhanced the levels of 6-keto-PGF1a and NO but significantly decreased levels of TXB2 and ET (P

AIM:To establish a fingerprint method of analyzing Xuefu Zhuyu Capsule(Semen Persicae,Radix Angelicae sinensis,Fruclus Aurantii,Rhizoma Chuanxiong,etc.) by HPLC. METHODS: A HPLC in combination with PDA detector was applied with a HiQ C_(18)(4.6 mm?250 mm,5 ?m) column by gradient elution using methanol-1.0% acetic acid solution as the mobile phase.The flow rate was 0.5 mL/min and the detection wavelength was at 260 nm. RESULTS: Thitrty-six common peaks were obtained in the fingerprint of Xuefu Zhuyu Capsule with good separation,six of them were identified as adenosine,paeoniflorin,naringin,hesperidin,neohesperidin and ligustilide by comparing chromatogram with control compounds. CONCLUSION: The HPLC method with good precision and reproducibility can be used for the quality control of Xuefu Zhuyu Capsule.

Objective To explore the relationship of coping style and social support with hope in maintenance hemodialysis patients.Methods A total of 177 maintenance hemodialysis patients were recruited from 3 dialysis centers in Guangzhou and were investigated with the self-designed questionnaire,the Herth Hope Scale,Simplified Coping Scale and Social Support Scale.Structural equation model was used to establish the model of relationship of coping style and social support with hope level.Results The average score of hope in maintenance hemodialysis patients was (31.83±3.69) points.The total score and all the sub-scores of social support were (42.24±4.09) points,(23.72±2.36) points,(10.82±2.26) points,(7.70±1.36) points respectively.And the average scores of positive coping style and the negative coping style were (2.15±0.28) points,(1.56±0.33) points,respectively.Social support had direct positive effect on hope level,and the positive and neg-ative coping style had indirect positive and negative effect on hope level respectively.Conclusions Social support has a direct effects on hope level in maintenance hemodialysis patients.Positive and negative cop-ing styles have indirect effects on hope level through social support.

The incidence of open-angle glaucoma has been rising year after year in China, which has caught much at-tention from ophthalmologists.There are various methods to evaluate the disease progression of an open-angle glaucoma pa-tient.These methods can be divided into two classes:functional assessment and structural assessment.We survey these two classes of methods in this paper.

To discuss the distribution and evolvement of TCM syndromes in ischemic stoke,we investigated the TCM diagnostic data from 195 cases in the first three months.After the cluster analysis based on the data of the first 3 days,28 days,90 days after the attack,information of the first three days indicated that the variables could cluster into qi deficiency and blood stagnation,phlegmheat,qi and yin deficiency three groups;the information of the 28 days indicated that the variables could cluster into qi deficiency,phlegm-wet,blood stagnation,phlegm-heat four groups;the information of the 90 days indicated that the variables could cluster into qi deficiency and blood stagnation,qi deficiency,phlegm-heat and phlegm-wet four groups.The cluster analysis result shows us a dynamic process of the syndrome evolvement,TCM syndromes are variance in different stage,and become simplicity from complex after treatments.

Objective To investigate epigenetic silencing of the proapoptotic gene MAPK10 by methylation in B-cell lymphoma. Methods We examined MAPK10 expression and methylation in seven cell lines derived from B-cell lymphoma by semi-quantitative RT-PCR and methylation-specific PCR (MSP), respectively. Methylation status was further examined in 24 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), 15 follicular lymphoma (FL) and 12 reactive hyperplasia lymph nodes (LRH) both by MSP and bisulfite genomic sequencing (BGS). Results MAPK10 is silenced or downregulated in all seven B-cell lymphoma cell lines mostly due to promoter methylation. MAPK10 methylation was frequently detected in DLBCL (17 of 24, 71%) and FL (15 of 15, 100 %), but not in 12 LRH tissues. Conclusion MAPK10 is frequently inactivated by tumor-specific methylation, and thus, is a potential biomarker.

Objective To discuss incidence and related risk factors of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) after acute subcortical infarction (SI).Methods One hundred and eighty-two patients with acute SI were divided into two groups:VCI group (81 cases) and no-VCI group ( 101 cases) according to VCI diagnostic standard.Sex proportion,age,culture degree between two groups were compared,and correlation was analyzed between the quantity of risk factors and the incidence of VCI.Results The incidence of VCI after acute SI was 44.5％(81/182).According to age stratification,the incidence of VCI in the patients of 56-65 years was 35.4％ (23/65),in the patients of 66-75 years was 45.3％ (48/106),and in the patients of 76-85 years was 90.9％ (10/11 ).The age in VCI group was significantly higher than that in no-VCI group [(69.93 ±6.91) years vs. (67.62 ±5.56) years,P =0.014],and culture degree was significantly lower than that in no-VCI group (P =0.028).The sex proportion between two groups had no significant difference (P =0.876).The more accompanying risk factors,the higher incidence of VCI.Conclusions Along with the increase of age,the incidence of VCI after acute SI is higher.The more accompanying risk factors,the higher incidence of VCI.

Hospital information management has penetrated into each aspect of hospital management.We discussed briefly the role of the hospital information system in medical records management in Chinese medicine hospital on information sharing,data statistics and convenience of case consulting and management,which improved greatly the efficiency of medical records management.

Many datas show that thrombosis related events during chemotherapy in patients with cancer increase obviously.Thromboprophylaxis in patients receiving chemotherapy has been shown to not only improve the hypercoagulable states and effectively prevent thrombosis,but also have the potential antitumor effect and prolong the patients over survival.
