Objective To discuss the relationship between traditional Chinese medicine (TCM ) syndromes and the laboratory in-dexes in chronic hepatitis B .Methods According to the TCM syndrome differentiation ,145 cases of chronic hepatitis B were divid-ed into the 5 syndromes :the stagnation of damp-heat in middle-jiao ,the stagnation of liver-QI and deficiency of the spleen ,the spleen-kidney Yang deficiency ,the collaterals obstruction by blood stasis and the liver-kidney Yin deficiency .The correlation be-tween the TCM syndromes and the laboratory indexes was observed .Results The research found that the stagnation of damp-heat in middle-jiao and the stagnation of liver-QI and deficiency of the spleen had the highest proportion in the five kinds of the CM syn-dromes ,which accounted for 53 .8% and 31 .7% ,respectively ;The positive rates of total bile(TBil) and indirect bile(IBil) in the stagnation of damp-heat in middle-jiao were 69 .4% and 68 .8% respectively ,which were significantly higher than those in other 3 groups (P<0 .05);However ,the positive rates of total bile acid (TBA) ,alanine aminotransferase(ALT ) and HBeAg in the liver-kidney Yin deficiency were higher than those in other 3 groups .The HBV-DNA viral load in the stagnation of damp-heat in middle-jiao was significantly higher than that in other 3 groups (HBV-DNA>105 copies/mL) ,and the HBV replication was most active . Conclusion There are some relationships between the TCM syndromes and the laboratory indexes in chronic hepatitis B ,therefore the laboratory indexes have more important clinical significance for the syndrome differentiation and treatment of chronic hepatitis B .

Objective To observe the effect of diet control combined with exercise on hyperlipi-demia,hyperglycemia and high blood pressure in overweight subjects. Method One hundred and four subjects (75 men and 29 women )were chosen from 6789 persons for medical examinations at health administration centre of our hospital from August to December in 2005. All of them met the following requirements: age 35-60,BMI value 24—28,high blood lipids ,high blood glucose or high blood pressure ,never using any drugs and excluding diseases with defects of heart ,liver or renal function and osteoarthritis diseases affecting physical activities. They were required to follow the plan of diet control and exercise for 24 w. The changes of their body weights (BW) ,body mass index (BMI),waist-hip ratio (WHR),total cholesterol (TC),total triglyceride (TG),high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C),low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C),fasting plasma glucose(FPG),2 hours plasma glucose (2 hPG),glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c),systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were observed . Results After 24 w intervention by diet control and exercise ,the BW ,BMI,FPG,2hPG ,HbAlc ,TC ,TG,LDL-C and SBP of the subjects studied were decreased drastically. HDL-C and DBP were not changed. Conclusion Scientific and reasonable diet pattern and rational exercise can lower the hyperlipidemia ,hyperglycemia and hypertension in overweight subjects.

BACKGROUND:Recent studies have found that adipose mesenchymal stem cells can inhibit immune responses of T cells, B cells and dendritic cells. But it is unclear whether adipose mesenchymal stem cells are able to regulate the immune responses of macrophages. OBJECTIVE:To observe the expression of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factorαin J774.1 cells co-cultured with adipose mesenchymal stem cells co-cultured. METHODS:Adipose mesenchymal stem cells at a density of 2×107 per wel were inoculated into the upper chamber of the transwel and 24-wel plates. Then, J774.1 cells were suspended with cellculture medium containing 1 mg/L lipopolysaccharide and planted into the lower chamber of the transwel and 24-wel plates containing adipose mesenchymal stem cells as co-culture group. Meanwhile, inactive J774.1 cells to lipopolysaccharide-activat J774.1 cells served as negative and positive control groups, respectively. After 48 hours, the J774.1 cells were col ected to extract the RNA samples. Then, mRNA expressions of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factorαwere measured by real-time quantitative PCR. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the positive control group, direct-contact co-culture of adipose mesenchymal stem cells and J774.1 cells significantly reduced expressions of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factorαin J774.1 cells, but non-contact co-culture only reduced interleukin-6 expression. These findings indicate that adipose mesenchymal stem cells can inhibit the immune response of J774.1 cells activated by lipopolysaccharide.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of reducing spine metal artifacts with metal artifacts reduction technique (WARP) at 3.0 T MRI.Methods This study included 15 cervical and 14 lumbar spine cases.The image quality of WARP sequences and conventional sequences were compared (5 score evaluation scale) as well as the signal to noise ratio (SNR) and contrast noise ratio (CNR) of the image artifacts.The scanning time was recorded.Paired-t test and Mann-Whitney test were used respectively to compare the SNR and CNR,and qualitative scoring between the two sequences.P<0.05 was considered to indicate a significant difference.Results The image distortion and blur of the WARP sequences were obviously reduced as compared to the conventional sequences.The SNR and CNR of artifacts of the WARP sequences were lower than that of the conventional sequences (All P<0.05).The image quality scores of WARP sequences in cervical and lumbar spines[4(3 to 5) and 4(3 to 5)] were higher than that of conventional sequences[3(2 to 4),3(2 to 4)](P<0.05).The scanning time of cervical spines in WARP sequence(14 min 9 s) was increased by 64 s (8.2%),and the time of lumbar spines (13 min 41 s) decreased by 9 s (1.1%).Conclusion The WARP sequences at 3.0 T could effectively reduce the artifacts of metallic prosthesis in cervical and lumbar spine without prolonging the scanning time at 3.0 T MRI.

RNA interference (RNAi) is a newly developed technology. It is the different levels of gene silencing induced by specific degradation of targeted genes in vivo, and both exogenous and endogenous double-stranded RNAs could induce the specific degradation. RNAi has been applied in tumor therapy, viral infection, hepatitis B and many other diseases. siRNA is the effector molecule which induces the RNAi in vivo. But naked siRNA is easily degradated by RNases in vivo, and the half-life is short. Meanwhile, the transfection efficiency of the naked siRNA is comparatively low. So the naked siRNA needs the help of vectors to penetrate the cell membrane and take action. Viral vectors have the potential immunogenicity and mutagenicity in gene therapy. Therefore, non-viral vectors are drawing more and more attention. The latest development of the non-viral vectors is summarized in this review.

Objective To explore the difference of plasma pentraxin 3 (PTX3) levels in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients,and to evaluate the correlation between plasma PTX3 levels and ACS as well as hypersensitive C-reaction protein (hs-CRP), through detecting the plasma levels of PTX3 and serum levels of hs-CRP in ACS patients, stable angina pectoris (SAP) patients and normal controls. Methods According to coronary angiography results,78 subjects were divided into control group (n = 20), stable angina pectoris (SAP) group (n = 22), and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) group (n = 36). The plasma levels of PTX3 and serum hs-CRP as well as routine blood biochemical markers were detected on the second day after admission. SPSS10.0 was used for one-factor analysis of variance and Logistic regression analysis. Results The logarithm level of plasma PTX3 in ACS group was significantly higher than that of the other two groups (P <0.05). The difference between the SAP group and the control group was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). Logistic regression analysis revealed that the estimated value of the plasma PTX3 logarithm level was 2.32 (P < 0.05), that of the serum hs-CRP was 0.447 (P > 0.05). Conclusion The plasma PTX3 level in ACS group is significantly higher than that of the SAP group and the control group. The correlation between plasma FTX3 levels and the ACS is stronger than that of the serum hs-CRP levels.
