Sleep deprivation (SD) has been taken as an independent predictor for cardiovascular risks, which was closely related to the increased morbidity and mortality in coronary heart disease (CHD). In this article, after reviewing the impact of modern medical method sleep deprivation on CHD and studies on principle method recipe medicines for preventing and treating CHD, the authors observed the autonomic nerve dysfunction, hormonal metabolism dysfunction, endothelial dysfunction and inflammatory responses after sleep deprivation, which can cause or aggravate CHD. On the basis of the traditional Chinese medicine theories of "heart dominating the blood and vessels and the mind", the authors considered that traditional Chinese medicines can tonify heart and soothe the nerves, reducing all of the risk factors through multi-target and multi-pathway, and improve sleep and decrease the risk factors caused by sleep deprivation, which provides a new idea for the prevention and treatment of CHD.

Objective To study clinical significance of S-100B protein in umbilical cord blood of asphyxial neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE).Methods Forty-three cases of healthy infants were regarded as control group(group 1).Sixty cases of asphyxial neonates were divided into two groups(44 cases without HIE as group 2;another 16 cases with HIE as group 3).S-100B protein levels in umbilical cord blood of three groups were measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay retrospectively. Results Levels of S-100B protein in group 1,group 2 and group 3 were(1.055?0.356) ?g/L,(1.572?0.533) ?g/L and(2.394?(0.943) ?g/L,) respectively.S-100B protein levels in umbilical cord blood of group 2 and group 3 were significantly higher than that of group 1(t=2.306,7.991 P

Objective: To study the affection of Diallyl trisulfide on cultured human colon carcinoma cell line HT-29 and its mechanism. Methods: The viability of cells after various treatments were determined using the method of MTT. Flow cytometry were used to analyze the change of cell cycle and Bcl-2, Bax levels. Results: The proliferation of human colon carcinoma HT-29 cells were inhibited by Diallyl trisulfide. The inhibition was associated with dose and time dependence. Flow cytometry results showed that: 1) When cells were treated with Diallyl trisulfide at the concentration of 10 ?g/mL for 12 h and 24 h, the percentage of G0/G1 phase cells was decreased and that of G2/M phase cells was significantly increased compared with those in the control group.2) Diallyl trisulfide down regulated Bcl expression, while up-regulated bax expression. Conclusions: It was suggested that Diallyl trisulfide inhibited HT29 cell proliferation. And these were associated with arrest of cell cycles and down regulation of Bcl2/Bax ratio.

OBJECTIVE: To compare inhibition effects of arsenacetylic acid(ASAC) on experimental H22 hepatoma-bearing mice in different forms of administration. METHODS: The mice were divided into 5 groups at random after inoculated with H22 hepatoma into their right axillas hypodermic by intraperitoneal injection(ip) and intravenous injection(iv), and then injected with normal saline,cyclophosphamide and different dosage of ASAC, observe the rate of tumor strain becoming tumor, the inhibition effects of the subjects and the effects of the subjects on mice's viscera. RESULTS: Compared with ip,either high, moderate or low dosage of ASAC by iv did have an obvious inhibitory effect on tumor and the tumor inhibition rates were 46.59%, 46.31% and 32.48% respectively; however, the spleen index in groups that of lower dosage of ASAC by two forms of drug administration were increased; there were death by poisoning in the group that iv with high dosage of ASAC.CONCLUSION: Compared with ip, the administration of ASAC by iv has a better effect on tumor.

Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of Zhengtian Pills on blood-stasis pattern of migraine with hemodynamics and TCD as markers. Methods: 30 patients with blood-stasis pattern of migraine were given drug Zhengtian Pills for a month. The hemodynamic marker, integrating value of nail fold microcirculation and TCD before and after treatment were compared. Results: There were significant differences in hemodynamic marker, integrating value of nail fold microcirculation and TCD between before and after treatment (P

Objective:To investigate the inhibitory effect of RNA interference (RNAi) on the expression of Aurora-A in SKOV3 cells and on proliferation of SKOV3 cells.Methods:Two pairs of oligo small interference RNA (Oligo siRNA) specific for Aurora-A were designed for RNAi and were transferred into SKOV3 cells.The expression of Aurora-A were de- tected by RT-PCR and Western blot.Furthermore,the cell proliferation and apoptosis were observed by MTT and FCM af- ter transfection.Results:After transfection with Oligo siRNA,mRNA and protein level of Aurora-A gene in SKOV3 cells were obviously reduced,while the inhibitory rate of proliferation and apoptosis rate in SKOV3 cells were increased signifi- cantly.Conclusion:The Oligo siRNA specific for Aurora-A can reduce the expression of Aurora-A gene and induce apop- tosis of SKOV3 cells.

Objective To study the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) combined with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on the recovery of neurological functional after cerebral infarction,and to discuss its possible mechanism.Methods Forty-five patients with cerebral infarction were randomly divided into a control group,an rTMS group and an rTMS plus HBO group,each group with 15 patients.The patients in the two treatment groups received 1 Hz rTMS to inhibit the unaffected hemisphere and 3 Hz rTMS to stimulate the affected hemisphere.One of the treatment groups also received HBO therapy,14 daily sessions.The National Institutes of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) and the Barthel index (BI) were evaluated on the 1st,14th and 30th day of treatment.Results The neurological function scores of those in the rTMS group and the rTMS & HBO group improved significantly.On the 1st and 14th day,no significant difference in NIHSS or BI scores was observed among the three groups,but by the 30th day the average neurological functional score in the rTMS & HBO group had improved significantly compared with the control group.The rTMS plus HBO group showed significantly better improvement than the rTMS group in terms of BI scores,but no significant difference in average NIHSS and BI scores was observed between the rTMS group and the control group.Fifteen days after the treatments had finished,the follow up results showed the improvements of the patients in the rTMS plus HBO group were significantly better than those in the other groups.Conclusion For patients with cerebral infarction,rTMS combined with HBO therapy can improve neurological function more significantly than rTMS therapy alone.

Objective To investigate the changes in trafficking of GluRl-containing AMPA (GluR1-AMPA) receptor and GluR2-AMPA receptor from cytoplasm to cell membrane in the spinal cord dorsal horn in a rat model of incisional pain.Methods Thirty-two adult male SD rats aged 6-8 weeks weighing 280-300 g were randomly divided into 2 groups:control group (group C,n =8) and incisional pain group (group Ⅰ,n =24).An 1 cm long incision was made in the plautar surface of right hindpaw according to Brennan et al.in group Ⅰ.Cumulative pain score (CPS) and paw-withdrawal threshold to yon Frey stimuli (PWT) were measured at 3 h and day 1 and 3 afar incision ( T1,2,3 ).The animals were sacrificed after pain behavior assessment.Their lumbar segments of the spinal cord (L3-6) were removed.The expression of GluR1 and GluR2 in cell membrane and cytoplasm in spinal cord dorsal horn was determined by Western blot analysis.The co-expression of Stargazing with GluR1 and GluR2 in the spinal cord dorsal horn was examined by co-immuno-precipitation.Results The CPS was increased and PWT decreased; the GluR1 expression in cytoplasm was decreased while the expression of GluR1 in cell membrane and the co-expression of Stargazing with GluR1 were up-regulated in group Ⅰ as compared with group C.There was no significant change in the expression of GluR2 in cytoplasm and cell membrane and the co-expression of Stargazing with GluR2 in group Ⅰ as compared with group C.Conclusion GluR1-AMPA receptor transfers from cytoplasm to cell membrane but GluR2-AMPA receptor does not in rats with incisional pain.
