Pharmacometabonomics, as an emerging branch of system biology, has been increasingly used in personalized medicine and showed broad prospects. By means of metabonomics, the complicated and detailed metabolic profile of the patient is described, thus providing more detailed description of the disease phenotype. With this understanding, response of different individuals to the drugs are predicted or evaluated through inherent genetic information of the individual combined with the environmental factors. As a result, appropriate drugs and dosage are chosen, which greatly promotes the realization of the individualized therapy goals. This article describes the emerging field of pharmacometabonomics, and the research results of personalized medicine based on the pharmacometabonomics in recent years are reviewed in detail.

Inflammation plays an important role in occurrence and progression of atherosclerosis.Among numerous studies on inflammatory markers, the relationship between high sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and coronary heart disease (CHD) has been widely studied.The present article made a review about the relationship between hsCRP and CHD.

Objective:To observe influence of enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) on plasma levels of lipo‐protein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp‐PLA2) and hsCRP in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) ,and preliminarily explore anti -inflammatory mechanism of EECP in prevention and treatment of CHD .Methods :A to‐tal of 85 CHD patients were selected from our hospital ,randomly divided into routine treatment group (n=42) and EECP group [n=43 ,received EECP based on routine treatment ,once/d ,60min each time ,continuous five weeks were regarded as one course (35 times)] .Plasma concentrations of Lp‐PLA2 and hsCRP were measured in all sub‐jects at the enrollment day and after five -week treatment .Results:Compared with before treatment ,after five-week treatment ,there were significant reductions in plasma levels of Lp‐PLA2 [(58.46 ± 40.04)μg/L vs .(33.94 ± 23.22)μg/L] and hsCRP [ (3.54 ± 2.22)μg/ml vs .(2.19 ± 1.16)μg/ml] in EECP group (P<0.01 both) ,and there were no significant difference in routine treatment group between before and after treatment .Compared with routine treatment group ,after five-week treatment ,there were significant reductions in plasma levels of Lp‐PLA2 [ (56.87 ± 33.69)μg/L vs .(33.94 ± 23.22)μg/L] and hsCRP [ (3.63 ± 1.60)μg/ml vs .(2.19 ± 1.16)μg/ml] in EECP group , P<0.01 both .Conclusion:1. EECP of one course can significantly reduce plasma concentrations of Lp‐PLA2 and hsCRP in CHD patients , indicating that anti - inflammatory may be one of its mechanism in preven‐tion and treatment of CHD .

Objective To approach the effect of CYP3A5 6986A＞G (rs776746) and ABCB1 3435C＞T (rs104564) on plasma tacrolimus(FK506) dose adjusted blood trough concentrations(C0/D) in kidney transplanted patients.Method Totally 125 renal transplanted recipients were recruited,and gene sequencing method were used to detect the genotype of CYP3A5 6986A＞G and ABCB1 3435C＞ T.FK506 trough concentration of 125 patients was detected by enzyme multiplies immunoassay technique (EMIT) after the surgery over 6 month.The relevance between the ratio of trough concentration/dosage and polymorphisms was analyzed.Result In 125 renal transplanted receipients,the allele frequency of CYP3A5 and ABCB1 genetic variants was 74％ and 34.8％,respectively.After 6 months,the C0/D ration in the homozygous mutant CYP3A5 * 3/* 3 receiptients was significant higher than that in the homozygous wild type * 1/* 3 and heterozygous mutant * 1/* 1 receiptients (P ＜ 0.05).And there was no significant difference of the Co/D ration between CYP3A5 * 1/* 1 and CYP3A5 * 1/* 3 receipients(P＞0.05).The the C0/D ration in homozygous wild type ABCB1 T/T and homozygous mutant T/C receipients was significant higher than that in heterozygous mutant C/C receipients (P＜0.05),and there was no significant difference of the C0/D ration between T/C and T/T receipients (P＞ 0.05).Conclusion The study shows that the the polymorphism of CYP3A5 and ABCB1 genes was significantly correlated with the trough C0/D value of the recipients after renal transplantation who were treated by Tacrolimus for more than half a year.The detection of the SNP of the CYP3A5 and ABCB1 will be useful for FK506 dosage adjustment.

(1808.07 ± 272.11) cm/s ,(1871.40 ± 306.03) cm/s] in double‐vessel group and multi‐vessel group , P<0.01 both . ABI of single vessel group and double‐vessel group were significantly higher than that of multi‐vessle group [ (1.19 ± 0.08) ,(1.17 ± 0.07) vs .(1.11 ± 0.15)] ,P<0.01 or <0.05 .Conclusion:Plasma Lp‐PLA2 level ,ABI and baP‐WV are related to CHD and its lesion degree ,combined measurement of these three indexes can predict CHD and its severity more accurately ,then preventing and treating CHD should be more effective .

BACKGROUND:Ultrasound therapy can relieve pain and improve the movement function in patients with knee osteoarthritis, but there lacks of consistency in the literatures of ultrasound therapy.
OBJECTIVE:To further identify the effectiveness of ultrasound therapy in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis.
METHODS:Twenty-four rabbits were randomly divided into three groups:normal group, model group and ultrasound group. The rabbit in the normal group received no intervention;rabbits in the model group received anterior cruciate ligament transaction to establish the knee osteoarthritis model without any treatment;the rabbit in the ultrasound group received ultrasound therapy after modeling for 10 minutes once time, once per day, 0.3 W/cm2 , 1 MHz and treated for 10 times. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was conducted for histological observation of rabbit articular cartilage;western blot and reverse transcription PCR assessment were used to assess the expressions of caspases-3 and caspases-8 in rabbit articular cartilage, while Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling was used to assess the ratio of chondrocytes apoptosis of rabbit knee articular cartilage.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The normal rabbit cartilage tissues and chondrocytes were neatly arranged in column;the middle cartilage layer of the model was thin;the chondrocytes were arranged disorderly and became less. After ultrasound therapy, the chondrocytes were rearranged neatly, and the number was increased. Compared with the normal group, the Mankin scores in the model group and ultrasound group were higher;the apoptotic rate of chondrocytes was higher in the model group and ultrasound group than in the normal group, and was also higher in the model group than in the ultrasound group. Compared with the normal group, the expressions of caspases-3 and caspases-8 were higher in the model group and the ultrasound group, while decreased after ultrasound therapy. The results indicate that ultrasound can improve the structure of cartilage tissues, decrease the expressions of caspases-3 and caspases-8 and reduce the apoptosis rate of chondrocytes. It is effective for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis with ultrasound therapy.
