Objective To search for the differences of serum proteins expression in ulcerative colitis (UC) by proteomics method and to preliminary explore the potential biological markers of ulcerative colitis. Method The serum of 30 ulcerative colitis patients and 30 healthy individuals were collected. The equal amounts of proteins in pooled serum were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and then compared and analyzed by image analysis software to recognize the differences of protein expression. Some spots of proteins with different expression were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS).Result There was no statistic significant in age, weight index, smoking and alcohol taking between UC group and control (P > 0.05 respectively). Thirty-nine proteins with significant different expression between UC patients and healthy individuals were preliminary screened out. Nine of those spots were selected, after analyzed by MALDI-TOF-MS, it was found that the expression of haptoglobin, heat shock factor protein 2, receptor tyrosine kinase, aldehyde reductase,apolipoproteinC-Ⅲ, pericentriol material 1 increased in ulcerative colitis patients, keratinl, filamin A interacting protein 1 and tropomyosin 3 decreased. Conclusions With proteomics 2-DE and spectrometry methods, nine UC associated serum proteins were screened out and identified, which provide new molecular markers for the research of UC biological behavior.

Objective To investigate the role of prenatal single-dose administration of dexamethasone and ambroxol on the expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) of fetal and neonatal rats. Methods Fifty-four pregnant rats were randomly divided into three groups with eighteen rats in each group:rats treated with 0.2 mg/kg dexamethasone (group 1),0.2 mg/kg dexamethasone and 100 mg/kg ambroxol (group 2),or saline(controls) on the 17th day of gestation.The lung tissues of the offsprings were harvest independently on the 19th day of gestation,the postnatal 3 days and 7 days.The expressions of TLR4 in fetal/neonatal rat lungs of each pregnant rat were analyzed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR),immunohistochemistry stain,and Western blot. ANOVA and two independent samples t-test were applied. Results On the 19th day of pregnancy,TLR4 mRNA expression was up-regulated in lungs of the two treatment groups compared with controls(controls:0.26 ± 0.18,group 1:0.39 ± 0.21,t =5.866,P< 0.05 ; control:0.27 ± 0.22,group 2:0.46 ± 0.13,t =9.572,P< 0.01 ).TLR4 mRNA expression was up-regulated in group 2 compared with controls on the postnatal 3 days and 7 days(postnatal 3 d:0.59 ± 0.23 and 0.47 ±0.24,t=2.295,P<0.05;postnatal 7 d:0.52±0.12 and 0.35±0.17,t=4.219,P<0.05),while no significant difference was found in group 1 compared with the controls(postnatal 3 d:0.45±0.22 and 0.44±0.14,t=0.128,P>0.05; postnatal 7 d:0.40±0.16 and 0.36 ±0.12,t=1.365,P>0.05).Results of the immunohistochemistry demonstrated that on the 19th day of pregnancy,the protein expression of TLR4 was significantly increased in the two treatment groups (controls:0.20 ± 0.29,group 1:0.35±0.32,t=7.179,P<0.05 ;controls:0.20±0.29,group 2:0.39±0.25,t=10.764,P<0.01).The protein expression of TLR4 was significantly increased in group 2 on the postnatal 3 days and 7 days(postnatal 3 d:0.55±0.32 and 0.37±0.18,t=7.121,P<0.05;postnatal 7 d:0.41±0.29and 0.25±0.24,t=6.355,P<0.05),while no notable difference was found between group 1 and the control (postnatal 3 d:0.40±0.21 and 0.37±0.18,t=0.683,P>0.05 ;postnatal 7 d:0.28±0.31 and 0.25±0.24,t=0.462,P>0.05).Results of the Western blot demonstrated that on the 19th day of pregnancy,the protein expression of TLR4 was significantly increased in the two treatment groups (controls:0.15 ± 0.12,group 1:0.27± 0.20,t =7.835,P<0.05; controls:0.16 ± 0.18,group 2:0.34±0.16,t=10.470,P<0.01).The protein expression of TLR4 was significantly increased in lungs of the combination administration group on the postnatal 3 days and 7 days(postnatal 3 d:group 2:0.37±0.20 and 0.25±0.22,t=6.379,P<0.05; postnatal 7 d:0.35±0.15 and 0.24±0.13,t=5.152,P<0.05),while no notable difference could be found between group 1 and the control (postnatal3 d:0.32±0.26 and 0.25±0.16,t=1.167,P>0.05; postnatal 7 d:0.29±0.19 and 0.24±0.10,t =1.248,P > 0.05 ). Conclusions Prenatal single-dose administration of dexamethasone may up-regulate the expression of TLR4 in the rat fetal lung.The up-regulation of TLR4 might be one of the critical factors for glucocorticoid-induced maturity of fetal lung.Prenatal single-dose administration of dexamethasone and ambroxol may have effects on the regulation of TLR4 not only in fetal rats,but also in neonatal rats.

OBJECTIVE: To compare peripheral T lymphocyte apoptosis of chronic bronchitis during an acute episode with that during a stable period. METHODS: Seventeen Chronic Btonchitis patients who presented to the ER with an acute episode were compared with 10 stable Chronic Bronchitis patients seen in the out-patient clinic. Peripheral venous blood was obtained from each patient and T lymphocytes were separated by fluorescent monoclonal antibodies. CD3, CD95 and CD25 were measured by flow cytometry. RESULTS: In the acute episode patients, the total quantity of T lymphocytes with CD3 was (42.63 +/-16.37) and with CD95 (14.15 +/-11.06). In the stable group T lymphocyte CD3 was (64.22 +/-23.90) and CD95 (34.88 +/-8.92) (t=-4.238, P <0.001; t=-8.796, P <0.001). The total quantity of Lymphocyte CD25 did not differ significantly between the two groups (P > 0.05). Total quantity of active T lymphocytes with CD3/CD25 was lower in the acute episode group (6.26 +/-3.94) compared to the stable group (10.52 +/-3143) (t=-1.068, P <0.05). CONCLUSION: T lymphocyte apoptosis increased in Chronic Bronchitis patients who presented with an acute episode. They also experienced a significant disturbance in immune function.

Heart failure with high prevalence is the endpoint of many cardiovascular diseases. Once diagnosed, patients usually need lifelong medication, which seriously affects their quality of life. The drugs commonly used to treat heart failure include angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, beta-blockers, aldosterone receptor antagonists, and diuretics. However, the long-term use of those drugs can lead to side effects such as hypotension, depletion of body fluid, and electrolyte imbalance and even increase mortality. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Qi deficiency and blood stagnation is the major cause of heart failure and when Qi is not moving, blood is not flowing. Therefore, the TCM clinical treatment of heart failure uses the Chinese medicinal materials which replenish Qi, activate blood, and dispell stasis to treat both internal cause and external symptoms. Recent studies have demonstrated that Chinese herbal medicines such as Astragali Radix, Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma, Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Angelicae Sinensis Radix, as well as the compound formulas such as Buyang Huanwutang, Simiao Yongantang, Qili Qiangxin capsules, and Qishen Yiqi drops, play a significant role in the prevention and treatment of heart failure via replenishing Qi, activating blood, and dispelling stasis. Inhibition of oxidative stress and inflammatory responses, mitigation of myocardial fibrosis, improvement of calcium cycling, and protection of mitochondrial function represent the key mechanisms for the treatment of heart failure with Chinese medicinal materials. Focusing on the pathogenic mechanisms and signaling pathways of heart failure, this paper systematically describes the pharmacological effects, molecular mechanisms, and research progress in the clinical application of Chinese medicinal herbs with effects of replenishing Qi, activating blood, and dispelling stasis and their compound formulas in the prevention and treatment of heart failure, aiming to provide scientific evidence for the development and clinical use of anti-heart failure Chinese medicinal materials.
