China Pharmacy 2015;26(33):4675-4678
OBJECTIVE:To systematically review the efficacy and safety of Ambrette capsule combined with Tripterygium gly-cosides tablet versus Tripterygium glycosides tablet alone in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy to provide evidence-based refer-ence for clinical treatment. METHODS:Retrieved from CJFD,Wanfang database,VIP database,Cochrane Library,EMBase and Medline randomized controlled trials(RCT)about Ambrette capsule combined with Tripterygium glycosides tablet(test group)ver-sus Tripterygium glycosides tablet alone(control group)in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy were collected. Meta-analysis was performed by using Rev Man 5.1 software after data extraction and quality evaluation. RESULTS:A total of 5 RCTs were includ-ed,involving 400 patients. Results of Meta-analysis showed the effective rate [OR=4.10,95%CI(2.27,7.38),P<0.001],24 h uri-nary protein quantificative value[MD=-0.54,95%CI(-0.72,-0.36),P<0.001] in test group were significantly higher than con-trol group,there were statistical significances. alanine aminotransferase value [MD=0.14,95%CI(-1.08,1.36),P=0.82] and changes value of peripheral white blood cells(WBC)[MD=-0.31,95%CI(-0.64,0.03),P=0.07] were not statistical difference between 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS:Efficacy of Ambrette capsule combined with Tripterygium glycosides tablet in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy were superior to Tripterygium glycosides tablet alone with similar safety. Due to limit of methodological quali-ty,more strict,long-term follow-up large-scale RCTs were required to validate the conclusion.

Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2011;30(11):928-929
ObjectiveTo observe the curative effect of finasteride combined with terazosin on benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Methods53 elderly patients with BPH continuously received finasteride (5 mg daily) and terazosin (2 mg daily) in our hospital from June 2002 to December 2010.The rating of international prostate symtom score (IPSS),nocturia,prostate volume and bladder residual urine were recorded before and 2 and 5 years after treatment.ResultsThe IPSS,nocturia,prostate volume,and bladder residual urine were better after treatment than before treatment (P< 0.05).The rating of IPSS,nocturia and prostate volume after 5 years of treatment also improved than after 2 years treatment (P<0.05),but there was no difference in bladder residual urine between 5 years and 2 years of treatment.ConclusionsLong-term use finasteride combined with terazosin for treatment of BPH is effective with little side effects.
4.Different expressing levels of osteoprotegerin and receptor activator of nuclear factor-?B ligand from osteoblasts of young, adult and aged mice
Chinese Journal of Rheumatology 2001;0(04):-
Objective To investigate different expressing of OPG and RANKL expression from osteoblasts stimulated with estrogen of young, adult and aged mice changing with age. Method We employed RT-PCR and ELISA methods to measure the OPG/RANKL expression from osteoblasts before and after co-cultured with 17?-estradiol. Results OPG expressing from osteoblasts of the yound and adult mice was significantly increased after stimulated with estrogen, however, RANKL expressing wasn′t decreased significantly, compared to from osteoblasts of the aged. There were no significantly difference among osteoblasts co-cultured with methyl-piperidino-pyrazile (MPP). Conclusion Our results suggest that estrogen may exert its anti-resorptive effects on bone, at least in part, by increasing OPG and decreasing RANKL expression in osteoblasts. Decreased OPG and increased RANKL may be one of important reeasons of postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Academic Journal of Xi'an Jiaotong University 2009;21(3):184-188
Strains from the cellulose-containing environment were collected. Primary screening (by filter-paper Hutchison solid culture medium and sodium carboxymethylcellulose solid culture medium) and reelection(by filter-paper inorganic salt culture medium and sodium carboxymethylcellulose Congo red culture medium) indicated that five strains obtained were best suited for high performance cellulose degradation. Determination of sodium carboxymethylcellulose activity(CMCA) and filter paper activity(FPA) was accomplished for each of the five. The strongest of the five in CMCA and FPA was applied to the production of cellulose bioethanol by separate hydrolysis and fermentation(SHF) and simultaneous saccharification and fermentation(SSF) respectively.
