Objective To observe the influence of large dose of mecobalamin combining with breviscapin injection on the levels of serum tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and C-reactive protein (CRP)and the antithrombin Ⅲ(AT-Ⅲ)activity in the patients with diabetic foot(DF).Methods 240 cases of DF were divided into 4 groups according to the random number table method,60 cases in each group:the large dose of mecobalamin plus breviscapin injection group (group Ⅳ);the routine dose of mecobalamin plus brevis-capin injection group (group Ⅲ);the simple breviscapin injection group (group Ⅱ)and the routine dose of mecobalamin group (groupⅠ).4 weeks were taken as a course of treatment.The TNF-α,CRP levels and the AT-Ⅲ activity before and after the treat-ment were detected and performed the comparative analysis.Results The levels of TNF-α,CRP and AT-Ⅲ before treatment had no statistically significant differences among in the four groups (P >0.05).Compared with the results before treatment,the levels of TNF-αand CRP after treatment in 4 groups were obviously decreased and the AT-Ⅲ level was significantly increased,the differ-ences had statistical significance (P <0.05);compared with the group Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ,the difference in the group Ⅳ had statistical significance(P <0.05).Conclusion Mecobalamin combined with breviscapin injection is able to decrease the serum inflammatory factors such as TNF-αand CRP,and increase the AT-Ⅲ activity in the patients with DF,which is more significant when increasing the mecobalamin concentration.Therefore,adopting the therapeutical scheme of increasing the mecobalamin concentration combined with breviscapin injection could obviously decrease the inflammatory reaction of DF with good safety,which is one of effective meas-ures for increasing the curative effect of DF.

Objective To observe the change of serum homocysteine (Hcy) ,plasma von willebrand factor (vWF) and whole blood tissue factor procoagulant activity (TF-PCA) within 48 h of onset in the patients with coronary heart disease (CHD).Meth-ods The relevant instrument was adopted to detect the level of serum Hcy ,plasma vWF and whole blood TF-PCA in 300 CHD pa-tients and 100 individuals undergoing the healthy physical examination ,and then the statistical analysis was performed.Three hundreds cases of CHD were divided into the stable angina group (SAP group ,n= 96) ,unstable angina group (UAP group ,n=100) and acute myocardial infarction group (AMI group ,n=104).Results The Hcy ,vWF and TF-PCA levels in the CHD patients were higher than those in the control group ,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).The Hcy level:the AMI group>UAP group> SAP group ,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).The vWF and TF-PCA levels in the AMI group and UAP group were higher than those in the SAP group with statistical difference (P<0.05).The Hcy level in SAP ,UAP and AMI patients complicated with diabetes and hypertension was significantly increased compared with the patients without complicating di-abetes and hypertension ,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).The vWF and TF-PCA levels had statistical differ-ence between the UAP group and AMI group(P<0.05).Conclusion Routinely detecting the levels of Hcy ,vWF and TF-PCA has an important clinical value for the diagnosis and curative effect observation in the patients with CHD.

【Objective】 To explore the expression of USP9X in platelets and its effect on platelet function. 【Methods】 The expression of USP9X in human and mouse was evaluated by PCR and Western blot. Platelets from young and old mice were separated and prepared, and the expression of USP9X was detected. USP9X inhibitos were used to assess the regulation of USP9X in platelet function, including aggregation, ATP release and spreading. Platelet lysates were collected in different time points to evaluate the change of phosphorylation of Akt in USP9X inhibitors treated platelets. 【Results】 Both human and mouse platelets expressed USP9X. Compared to the young mice, the old mice showed significantly enhanced expression of USP9X(P<0.05). To assess the effect of USP9X on platelet function, USP9X inhibitor was used to pre-incubate platelets for 30 min and platelet function were examined later. Results showed that USP9X inhibitor significantly decreased platelet activation including aggregation, ATP release and spreading(P<0.05). Compared to the control group, the inhibitor treated group showed a significant decrease in the spreading area after 45 minutes. The Western blot results showed a significant decrease in Akt phosphorylation levels of platelets in the USP9X inhibitor treated group. 【Conclusion】 Both human and mouse platelet express USP9X, and inhibition of USP9X decreased platelet function including aggregation, ATP release and spreading. USP9X can also influence the phosphorylation of Akt. The inhibitor of USP9X may become a potential therapeutic target for thrombosis intervention.
