2.Current status on the intestinal barrier dysfunction in HIV infection
Parenteral & Enteral Nutrition 2017;24(4):244-248
Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) can effectively suppress thehuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication andsignificantly reduce morbidity and mortality of HIV-infectedpatients,which howevercan't completely remove the virus,and eventually progressinto chronic viral-infection disease.Chronic HIVinfection destroys host immune system,leading to intestinal barrier damage,intestinal mucosal dysfunction,microbial translocation,and further accelerates the disease progress.The reconstruction of intestinalmicroflora balance and improvement of intestinal mucosa function areessential to reestablish the host immune system.This paper will review the current research advanceson intestinal barrier damage of HIV infection and gut-target therapy of AIDS.The aim is to provide valid evidences for further research targeting improvement of treatment strategiesandreduction of morbidity and mortality in HIV infection.
3.Alarm failure and its countermeasure when measuring high-concentration enzyme by biochemical analyzer
Chinese Medical Equipment Journal 1989;0(02):-
Modern fully automatic biochemical analyzer makes enzyme measurement accurate, specific and practical, but alarm failure happens sometimes and thus determinate error appears. To find out the inducement to alarm failure, Olympus AU2700 and ADVIA 1650 fully automatic biochemical analyzer are used to measure the serum liver enzyme from 450 cases of post-liver-transplantation patients.

Objective To explore the expressions of histamine receptor subtypes (H1, H2, H3, H4 receptor) in children's mid-urethral striated muscles and during mouse C2C12 striated myogenesis.Methods Children's mid-urethral striated muscle samples were paraffin embedded and tissue sections were made, then immunohistochemical staining was used to check H1, H2, H3, H4 receptors.C2C12 myogenesis was induced, the early differentiation early markers of desmin, middle marker of myogenin, late marker of myosin heavy chain and histamine 4 receptor subtype mRNA were checked by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction.Immunofluorescence staining was done to check 3 differentiation markers and histamine H3 receptor protein.Results During myogenesis, the expression of desmin mRNA in the differentiation of 2,4,6 days were 12,68,60 times as many as that of the undifferentiated myoblasts;the expression of myogenin mRNA in the differentiation of 2,4,6 days were 631,1 408,914 times as many as that of the undifferentiated myoblasts;the expression of myosin heavy chain mRNA in the differentiation of 2,4,6 days were 7 718,9 448,286 288 times as many as that of the undifferentiated myoblasts.The expression level of H1 receptor mRNA in the differentiation of 6 days was about 25% to undifferentiated cells;the expression of H2 receptor mRNA in undifferentiated cells and differentiated cells groups had no significant difference (F =1.47, P > 0.05);the expression of H3 receptor mRNA in the differentiation of 2,4,6 days was 28,103,198 times to undifferentiated cells;H4 receptor mRNA was not detected.In immunofluorescence staining, H3 receptor protein staining intensity increased with the differentiation.Immunohistochemistry of pediatric urethral striated staining indicated that H1, H2, H3 receptor staining was positive,H1 receptor showed strong positive staining, H3 receptor moderate positive staining,and H2 receptor showed weak positive staining.Conclusions Histamine receptor subtypes of H1 receptor, H2 receptor and H3 receptor were found during mouse striated myogenesis and in the children's mid-urethral striated muscles.The increasing expression of H3R with myogenesis might indicate it plays a role in mature striated muscle cells.

Objective To investigate the number and activity changes of endothelial progenitor cells(EPCs) in hemodialysis patients,and explore its correlation with the risk factors of coronary heart disease.Methords Total mononuclear ceils(MNCs) were isolated from peripheral blood of patients with chronic renal failure in long-term hemodialysis and from a normal control group by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation and then were plated on humanfibronectin-coated dishes.Mter 7 days of culture,EPCs were characterized as adherent cells by double staining with FITC-UEA-I and DI-LDL,and were further identified by the expression of CD34,CD133 and KDR with flow cytometry.EPCs migration was determined with modified Boyden chamber assay.EPCs adhesive assay was performed by replanting EPCs on humanfibronectin-coated plates and then counting the adherent cells.The relationship of the EPCs' number and activity with Framingham Risk Score of ten years was also be assessed.Results Number of EPCs and the migratory & adhesive capacity were significantly lower in patients than in the control(P

Objective To observe traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) Huoxue Tongmai capsules (HXTMC) for the regulation of small molecule metabolites in plasma of patients with coronary heart disease and TCM blood stasis syndrome. Methods A prospective study was conducted in which 136 patients with coronary heart disease and blood stasis syndrome treated in Dagang district in Tianjin from January 2009 to December 2013 were selected and randomly divided into two groups:control group (68 cases) and HXTMC group (68 cases). The control group received the conventional oral therapy with nitrates, β receptor blockers, calcium antagonists, enteric coated aspirin, etc, and the HXTMC group received the conventional therapy and additionally oral administration of HXTMC, 4 capsules each time (each capsule 0.25 g), trice a day, 30 days constituting a therapeutic course, 3 courses in total. According to the standard of curative effect evaluation of angina pectoris in coronary heart disease, the clinic total curative effects of angina pectoris and electrocardiogram (ECG) were evaluated. The concentrations of copeptin, tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in the plasma were tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the TNF-α/IL-10 ratio was calculated. Results The total clinical effective rates of patients and the ECG in HXTMC group were significantly higher than those of the control group [clinic total effective rates:89.71%(61/68) vs. 80.88%(55/68), ECG total effective rates:57.35%(39/68) vs. 48.53%(33/68), both P<0.05]. Concentration of copeptin and TNF-α/IL-10 ratio in the plasma after treatment of the both groups were significantly lower than those before treatment, and the changes were more obvious in HXTMC group [copeptin (ng/L): 0.22±0.04 vs. 0.31±0.05, TNF-α/IL-10 ratio:0.49±0.11 vs. 0.65±0.09, both P<0.05]. Conclusion Addition of HXTMC to conventional therapy for treatment of patients with coronary heart disease accompanied by blood stasis syndrome can lower the plasma level of copeptin and TNF-α/IL-10 ratio, thus it may improve the clinical curative effects of the patients.

The proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells is closely related to the pathogenesis of a variety of diseases, such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, vascular restenosis, and etc. A proper model for smooth muscle cell proliferation can be served as an important tool for exploring the molecular mechanisms of smooth muscle cell proliferation and the screening of potential inhibitory agents. Various factors can induce the proliferation of smooth muscle cells with different mechanisms and pathological significance. The ox-LDL, AGEs, angiotensin II (AngⅡ), high glucose, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and etc. have been successfully applied in the establishment of smooth muscle cell proliferation model. This article summarized the most commonly used models for smooth muscle cell proliferation. The inhibitory effects of Chinese herbal medicine, especially the isolated pure compounds were discussed. It was aimed to provide references for the screening of smooth muscle cells based medications as well as studies on related research and development of Chinese herbal medicine.
