Lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1) is a specific receptor of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) expressed in endothelial cells. It is a type Ⅱ single-chain transmembrane protein and belongs to C-type lectin family. LOX-1 leads to the injury of endothelial cells by mediating oxLDL, and plays a role in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis, hypertension, thrombosis. This article reviews the association between LOX-1 and atherosclerosis.

[Objective]To explore the effects of the model establishment methods on energy metabolism indicators of model rats.[Methods] Set up normal group,model group(high fat diet + high temperature and high humidity + colon bacillus),contrary group (routine diet + high temperature and high humidity + colon bacillus),the activity of liver mitochondria Na+-K+-ATPase was detected by principle of determines the content of phosphorus.[Results] The Na+-K+-ATPase active inmodel group was remarkably decreased,and had no significantly difference from contrary group.[Conclusion]The liver mitochondria Na+-K+-ATPase being remarkably decreased is one of pathological basis of damp-heat model,un-related with high fat diet.

Objective To explore the relationship between paraoxonase1 (PON1) L55M gene polymorphisms and atherosclerotic cerebral infarction(CI)in Hunan Han people. Methods The study population was comprised of 153 atherosclerotic cerebral infarction patients and 153 healthy individuals. The PON1-L55M genotypes were determined by restriction fragment length polymorphism. Results MM genotype was not found both in CI and control group. In CI group, genotypic frequency of LL was 96.7% and LM was 3.3%. The allele frequency of L was 0.984 and M was 0.016. In control group, genotypic frequency of LL was 93.5% and LM was 6.5%. The allele frequency of L was 0.968 and M was 0.032. PON1-L55M polymorphism revealed no significant difference of genotype and allelic distribution in CI patients and controls.Conclusion The polymorphism of PON1-L55M is not related to the incidence of atherosclerotic cerebral infarction in Hunan Han people.

The activity of eNOS was singificantly depressed by a high concentration of glucose in a concentration-and time-dependent manners after incubation of HUVECs with different concentrations of glucose and with high glucose plus insulin for different times.The physiological concentration of insulin can partially reverse the inhibitions of the activity and expression of eNOS induced by high concentration of glucose.

Objective To investigate the effects of comprehensive intervention on population death rate. Methods To analyze population crude death rate, cause-specific death rate, and compare the death rate in intervention group with that of control.Results The average crude death rate in communities of Changsha was 617 79 per 100 000, with 557 27 per 100 000 of standarized death rate. Cerebrovascular disease, cardiocascular disease, tumour, disease of respiratory system injury and intoxication were from the first rank to the fifth in order the death causes. The death rate in intervention group was lower than that of control group significantly, and the death rate of cerebrovascular disease and cardiocascular disease in intervention group were lower than that of control significantly.Conclusions Cerebrovascular disease and cardiocascular disease are the major causes of death. Intervention on risks factors of cardio- and cerebrovascular diseases can lower the death rate of cardio- and cerebrovascular diseases and the population death rate.

Objective To observe the anti-pyretic effect of F022 from Radi x Isatidis.Methods The fever model was induced by intravenous injection of endo toxin into rabbits.Body temperature of the rabbits was measured at 0.5,1,2,3,an d 4h after administration in semi-vivo and in vivo.Results F022 subsided th e fever in rabbits induced by endotoxin in semi-vivo and vivo.Conclusion It is valuable for further research that F022 component is used as the main to scr een anti-pyretic active constituent.

Objective To study the effect of intervention on blood pressure and incidence of cerebrovascular diseases. Methods In 1987, two cohorts population were selected in urban areas of Changsha . One was intervention group , another was control group. Baseline blood pressure levels were investigated and the events of stroke were collected. Results After 14 years, the cumulative stroke events were 89 in the intervention group and 128 in the control group; the mean blood pressure increased with statistical significance in each group except diastolic pressure in intervention group, but the control group increased more significantly; the analysis of Kaplan-Meier displayed that the rate of non-stroke events were higher in intervention group than that in control group and the analysis of COX regression indicated that the risk for stroke-events were 1.4 times higher in control group. Conclusions The intervention of risk factors can delay the increase of blood pressure by aging and reduce the risk of stroke-events.

Objective To analysis the risk factors of cardiovascular events during periopemtive period undergoing hand surgery . Methods 197 cases of hand surgery in our hospital from 2009 to 2012 ,aged 21 to 74 years were selected .The general condition ,an-esthesia ,operative time and intraoperative hemodynamics (blood pressure> 20% ) were recorded ,postoperative follow-up and record the occurrence of cardiovascular events ,and factor analysis was carried on .Results In 48 hours ,23 patients were suffered from car-diovascular events ,and the total morbidity rate was 11 .7% ,in which sinus tachycardia was 3 case(1 .52% ) ,atrial fibrillation were 2 cases(1 .02% ) ,premature ventricular contractions were 4 cases(2 .03% ) ,the myocardial ischemia were 11 cases(5 .58% ) ,the angi-na pectoris were 3 cases(1 .52% ) ,the myocardial isehemia was 1case(0 .51% ) .Multiariable Logistic regression analysis showed that ,the influencing factors of perioperative cardiovascular events undergoing hand surgery were were diabetes mellitus (OR=2 .012 ,P=0 .023) ,coronary heart disease (OR=2 .301 ,P=0 .028) ,preoperative ST ischemic changes (OR=2 .942 ,P=0 .031) ,lip-id abnormalities(OR=3 .012 ,P=0 .019) and hemodynamics changes during operation(OR=3 .522 ,P=0 .020) .Conclusion The risk factors of perioperative cardiovascular events independent undergoing hand surgery might be diabetes ,coronary heart disease , preoperative ST ischemic changes ,intraoperative hemodynamic changes .

Object To extract and separate the chemical constituents from the root of Isatis indigotica Fort (Cruciferae) Methods The root of I. indigotica was percolated with 95% ethyl alcohol, partitioned in solvents of different polarities and finally isolated on silica gel and macroporous resin columns The purified compounds obtained were identified and structurally elucidated by their physicochemical properties and spectral analysis Results Two compounds were obtained and named as isaindigotidione (Ⅰ) and (E)-3-(3′, 5′-dimethoxy-4′-hydroxybenzylidene)-2-indolinone Conclusion The two compounds were new
