Endostatin(ES), the C-terminal fragment of collagen XVIII, is a potent angiogenesis inhibitor. At present, there are a large number of research papers on ES. It has already been on clinical stage Ⅱ and been widely used in inhibition of neovascularization(NV). However, how to improve the bioactivity of ES is still a matter of ongoing discussion. The objective of this review is to elucidate the relationship between the modified ES and ocular neovascualrization, and to discuss the superiority based on the structure modification. The structure can be changed either by covalent modification or by genetical mutation. It is proposed that the secondary structral ES enhance the anti-angiogenic activity. Studies on modified ES also shed light on our understanding of the molecular action mechanisms of ES. Modified ES may be exploited as a new angiogenesis inhibitor for therapeutic applica-tions, in substitution of the native ES. Activity

Objective To assess the effectiveness of different concentration of iodized salt for preventing iodine deficiency disorders. Methods Using the principle and method of systematic review, we searched Cochrane Library(from 1994 to Mar. 2007), Medline(from 1966 to Mar. 2007), BA(from 1969 to Mar. 2007), PubMed(from 1950 to Mar. 2007), OC1D(from 1950 to Mar. 2007), ISI Web of Knowledge(from 1966 to Mar. 2007), Vip (from 1989 to Mar. 2007), Wanfang(from 1997 to Mar. 2007), CBMDisc(from 1978 to Mar. 2007) and CNKI(1994 to Mar. 2007) and hand searched 6 relevant Chinese journals, including Chinese Journal of Preventive Medicine, Chinese Journal of Endemiology, Chinese Journal of Epidemiology, Chinese Journal of Control of Endemic Disease, Endemic Diseases Bulletin and Modern Preventive Medicine. We screened the for eligible studies according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria to be rigorously evealuatecl descriptly and qualitatively. Results Thirteen studies were included, of which, the first six were intervention trials with comparison, including two community intervention trials, which classified all objects into different groups, using iodized salt at different concentration as intervention, four were RCTs with different intervention methods, compare the iodized salt with other intervention measures. Seven were cross-sectional studies, which analyzed the iodine nutrition of people after the concentration of iodized salt was lowered down. Because of different interventions in control groups and different outcome measures, it was difficult to perform recta-analysis, a descriptive analysis of the results was presented. Most studies showed that urinary iodine level decreased as the concentration of iodized salt went down gradually. When the concentration of iodized salt went down to the best level recommended, goiter rate decreased obviously. Conclusions Iodized salt was considered as the hest method of iodine supply to prevent iodine deficiency disorders. But effectiveness of preventing iodine deficiency disorders with various concentration of iodized salt is different. To lower the concentration of iodized salt properly can not only prevent iodine deficiency disorders but also reduce the side effect of excess iodine intake to the minimum. And it can also save a lot of iodine resource. Well-designed community-based intervention trials with large sample size are needed to confirm the effect of different concentration of iodized salt on preventing iodine deficiency disorder.

Objective To establish the normal reference value range of hematological and serum biochemical parameters in Beagle dogs for our own research center and to supply references for establishing the national standard.Methods CV Beagle dogs aged 4～6 months were selected as the investigative objects.Of the Beagle dogs,263 were male with body weight of(8.09?0.78)kg,263 were female with body weight of(6.84?0.87)kg.Blood was collected from cephalic vein at the endgame of the experiment,then both hematological and serum biochemical parameters were measured.The acquired data were analyzed by the "Independent-Samples T Test" process of SPSS V 13.0.Regarded the males and the females as two independent samples,the difference between sexes was also compared.Results The mean normal reference values and the standard deviation of hematological and serum biochemical parameters in both male and female Beagle dogs were obtained by analysis.Conclusions Comparison of sexes showed that there exists obviously difference between male and female Beagle dogs referring to 3 serum biochemical parameters of T-Bil,GLU and ALB.

Objective To observe the effects of gypenosides(GP) on cardiac dysfunction induced by adriamycin in rats and to investigate the therapeutic mechanism.Methods Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 5 groups:control group,adriamycin(ADR) group,low-,moderate-and high-dose GP groups.The low-,moderate-and high-dose GP groups received GP 100,200 and 400 mg? kg-1? d-1 for five days respectively.Meanwhile,the purified water was given to rats of control group and adriamycin groups.On the sixth day,adriamycin(10 mg? kg-1) was given intraperitoneally(ip) to all the groups except the control rats.At the twenty-fourth hour after administration of adriamycin,the cardiac functions such as left ventricular systolic pressure(LVSP),maximal rates of increase and decrease of left ventricular pressure(? dp/dtmax),as well as the activities of cardiac ATPase,succinic dehydrogenase(SDH) and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase(SERCA2a) were measured.Results The impairment of heart function induced by adriamycin was relieved and the activities of cardiac ATPase,SDH and SERCA2a were obviously increased after GP treatment.Conclusion GP have protective effects on cardiac dysfunction induced by adriamycin in rats,and the mechanism may be related to the increase of activities of cardiac ATPase,SDH and SERCA2a.

Objective To explone the therapeutic effect and mechanism of Quyuhuatan decoction in treating type 2 diabetes mellitus combined with abnormal metabolism of lipid. Methods 85 cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus combined with abnormal metabolism of lipid were recruited into a control group and a treatment group randomly. The treatment group (45cases) was treated with Quyuhuatan decoction and subcutaneous insulin injection while the control group(40cases) was treated with subcutaneous insulin injection exclusively. Both groups received the treatment for for 8 weeks. The result of TC, TG, LDL-C, and HDT-C were observed before and after the treatment. Results The improvement of blood lipid in the treatment group was superior to that in the control group (t=0.011, P<0.05) . Conclusion Quyuhuatan decoction is effective in treating type 2 diabetes mellitus combined with abnormal metabolism of lipid. The mechanism might be related with its cutting off pathological paths of hyperlipidemia.

Objective To investigate the status of Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori) infection and the accuracy of the two commonly used diagnostic methods, the 14 C urease breath test( 14 C UBT) and the rapid urease test(RUT) in patients with partial gastrectomy due to peptic ulcer or gastric cancer. Methods Culture, histology, RUT, combined with 14 C UBT, were carried out to diagnose the H. pylori infection in patients with partial gastrectomy. The Giemsa staining and H.pylori culture served as the ‘golden reference’ in evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of the RUT and 14 C UBT. The prevalence of H.pylori infection of patients with partial gastrectomy was determined with the dyspeptic controls without surgery. Results 37 patients (17 Billroth Ⅰ resection, 20 Billroth Ⅱ resection) were included in the study. The overall prevalence in the Giemsa staining and culture proved as H.pylori infection was 29.7%, and no statistical difference was seen between patients will Billroth Ⅰ(29.4%) and Billroth Ⅱ(30.0%) resections. The sensitivity of the RUT was 72.7%, the specificity was 57.7%, and the overall accuracy was 62.2%. The sensitivity of the 14 C UBT was 63.6%, the specificity was 100.0%. The negative predictive value was 86.7%, and the overall accuracy was 89.2%. The total prevalence of H.pylori infection in the controls was 71.4%. Conclusion Prevalence of H.pylori infection in patients with partial gastric resection is low. The two diagnostic methods, 14 C UBT and RUT, cannot be recommended as accurate diagnostic tools for H.pylori infection in patients after partial gastrectomy due to low specificity and low sensitivity, respectively.
