Objective To explore the expression of Cav-1 mRNA,S100A4 mRNA and CD31 in prostate cancer (PCa) and their correlation with tumor metastasis and patient survival rate. Methods PCa specimens (n =42) and adjacent tissue specimens ( n =12 ) from radical prostatectomy were obtained from January 2004 to May 2006.The mean age of patient was 71.6 ± 7.6 years ( range 58 - 86 years).According to Gleason scores,prostatectomy specimens were stratified into≤6 (n =17),7 (n =12) and ≥8( n =13 ) groups.Patients were classified as clinical stage T1 ( n =16),stage T2 ( n =9 ),stage T3 ( n =11 )and stage T4 (n =6).Patients were divided into PCa with bone metastasis (n =8 ) and PCa without bone metastasis ( n =34).Preoperative PSA levels of the patients were stratified into three groups: < 4 ( n =4)μg/L,4-10 (n=10)μg/Land >10 μg/L (n=28).12 adjacent tissues 1 -2 cm away from tumor or another lobe of prostate were microscopically verified without cancer cells and were tested for comparison.The expression of Cav-1 mRNA and S100A4 mRNA were detected by Situ hybridization in 42 PCa specimens and 12 adjacent tissues and using CD31 for marking vascular endothelial cells,the tumor microvascular density (MVD) was counted.The correlation of Cav-1 mRNA,S100A4 mRNA and CD31 expression was analyzed in combination.with clinical and pathological fcatures including Gleason score,TNM staging,PSA values and bone metastasis. Results The positive expression rate of Cav-1 mRNA in PCa was 35.7% ( 15/42),while it was 0% (0/12) in controls,P <0.05.The positive expression rate of S100A4 mRNA in PCa was 47.6% (20/42),while it was 8.3% (1/12) in controls,P <0.05.The positive expression rate of Cav-1 mRNA in PCa was positively correlated with Gleason score,TNM stage and bone metastasis.The positive expression rate of S100A4 mRNA in PCa was positively correlated with TNM stage and bone metastasis.The average MVD in patients of negative expression of Cav-1 mRNA was (62.8 ± 10.4)/mm2,and the average -MVD in patients of positive expression of Cav-1 mRNA was (83.5 ±6.7 )/mm2,P < 0.05.While the average MVD in patients of negative expression of S100A4 mRNA was (63.3 ± 12.0)/mm2,and the average MVD in patients of positive expression of S100A4 mRNA was (77.9 ± 11.0)/mm2,P < 0.05.The 5-year survival rate in patients with positive Cav-1 mRNA expression was significantly lower than that of with negative expression (46.7% versus 85.2%,P < 0.05 ),while the 5-year survival rate in the patients with positive expression of S100A4 mRNA was significantly lower than that of with negative expression (50.0% versus 90.9%,P < 0.05 ). Conclusions The positive Cav-1 mRNA and S100A4 mRNA expression,increased MVD are positively correlated with PCa progression and bone metastasis. Furthermore,Cav-1 and S100A4 in PCa may promote angiogenesis and cause tumor cells to bone metastases,which can reduce survival rate of patients.

Whether there was crossing between Astragalus major split constituents was explored, and the methodology of cross validation for split constituents was studied to determine Astragalus sweet and warm property. The Astragalus was extracted by boiling water or other different solvents, and detected by HPLC-DAD or HPLC-ELSD. Finally, the similarity of each constituent was calculated by fingerprint software. Similarities of flavonoids and saponin constituents were all less than 0.31 and 0.34, respectively, compared to other constituents. The cross situation of nature-taste split components which was extracted by solvents was not serious. This method was proven to be feasible, and provided a theoretical and substantial basis for the Chinese taste pharmacological experiments and would be conductive to determine Astragalus sweet and warm property.

Background: Metabolic diseases pose considerable burden on the healthcare system worldwide, indi-cating the significance of prevention and treatment. In constitution theory of traditional Chinese med-icine, phlegm-dampness constitution (PDC) is the common basis of metabolic diseases. In clinical practice, Huatan Qushi (HTQS) decoction targeting on PDC can effectively improve metabolic indicators. However, its underlying biochemical mechanism still remains unclear.Methods: Eight PDC participants received HTQS decoction for three months. Their blood was collected at baseline and 1 and 3 months after intervention started. Related biomedical indicators were detected. High-throughput sequencing and RT-qPCR were used for validation. Due to the missing data, repeated measures with missing values in mixed models were used. Results: After 3-month treatment, HDL-C level increased (P<.001) and FBG, FINS, and HbA1c all showed decreasing trend at different time points (all P < .05). After miRNA high-throughput sequencing, compared with the baseline, differential miRNAs at 1 and 3 months were screened, and target gene prediction and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were performed. The results displayed that metabolic disease-related pathways mainly included pathways in cancer, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, etc. Further, RT-qPCR showed that hsa-miR-1237-3p differed statistically (P =.008). Then we validated the target genes of hsa-miR-1237-3p in the"Pathways in Cancer"pathway including SDF1, AC, CRK, and HGF, also known as upstream target genes of PI3K/AKT pathway. The results showed that two indicators of CRK and HGF were in statistical significance (P=.045 and P=.036, respectively). Conclusion: PDC serves as a common basis for various metabolic diseases. Through adjusting PDC, HTQS decoction can improve biomedical indicators including blood glucose, HbA1c, insulin, and HDL-C. The target pathway is"Pathways in cancer". Specifically, HTQS decoction acts on targets of CRK and HGF by regulating hsa-miR-1237-3p, and probably exerts effects on their downstream PI3K/AKT pathway.

Objective:
To understand the prevalence and influencing factors of dyslipidemia in the residents aged 40 years and over in the rural areas of Liaoning Province,so as to provide basis for the development of targeted prevention and control measures.
Methods:
From September 2017 to May 2018,by stratified cluster random sampling method,the residents aged 40 years or above from 19 villages in Liaoning Province were selected. Demographic features,height,weight,blood pressure and lipid level were collected. A logistic regression model was applied to explore the influencing factors for dyslipidemia.
Results:
A total of 10 926 residents were recruited,with an average age of (59.97±10.08)years. The crude and standardized prevalence rate of dyslipidemia was 30.96% and 29.68%. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that women(OR=1.323,95%CI:1.189-1.473),50-69 years old(OR:1.238-1.333,95%CI:1.075-1.523),a high school education or below(OR:0.585-0.635,95%CI:0.439-0.842),hypertension(OR=1.398,95%CI:1.273-1.534),diabetes(OR=2.137,95%CI:1.918-2.381),overweight or obesity(OR=2.101,95%CI:1.916-2.303), meat-based meals(OR=1.306,95%CI:1.144-1.492)and vegetables intake less than 5 days a week(OR:1.169-1.387,95%CI:1.004-1.796) were associated with dyslipidemiais.
Conclusions
The prevalence rate of dyslipidemia was 30.96% in the rural residents aged 40 years and over in Liaoning Province. People who were females,who were 50-69 years old,and who suffered from hypertension,diabetes,overweight or obese,might take their lipid levels into consideration.

Objective:To investigate effect of reperfusion injury following different ischemic duration on skeletal muscle in rats.Methods:A model of ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) was established by unilateral clamping femoral artery and additional application of tourniquet in skeletal muscle of hind limbs in 35 male Wsitar rats. According to different ischemia time, the animals were assigned to 2-hour ischemia and 24-hour reperfusion (I2R24 group), 2.5-hour ischemia and 24-hour reperfusion (I2.5R24 group), 3-hour ischemia and 24-hour reperfusion (I3R24 group), 4-hour ischemia and 24-hour reperfusion (I4R24 group) and sham group, with 7 rats per group. At the end of reperfusion, gastrocnemious tissues and plasma samples were collected and analyzed. The ratio of wet ∶ dry weight (W/D) was used to measure muscle edema. The assay of 3-(4, 5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) was conducted to evaluate muscle viability. HE staining was executed to observe histopathological changes. Immunofluorescence staining was performed to assess the levels of C1q, C3b/c, tissue factor (TF), fibrinogen (FN), bradykinin receptor 1 (BR1), BR2, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), E-selectin, fibrinogen-like protein-2 (FGL-2) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) in muscle tissues. ELISA method was used to determine the concentrations of interferonγ (IFN-γ), interleukin7 (IL-7), IL-18, macrophage inflammatory1α (MIP-1α) and monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1) in plasma.Results:With prolongation of ischemia time and subsequent reperfusion, tissue edema became severe gradually. The ratio of W/D was 5.3±0.2, 6.1±0.3, 6.9±0.2, 7.6±0.3 in I2R24, I2.5R24, I3R24 and I4R24 groups, higher than that in sham group (4.5±0.1) (all P<0.01). Muscle viability got decreased gradually. Muscle viability was (62.4±3.5)%, (45.3±3.3)%, (35.4±3.4)%, (27.1±5.9)% in I2R24, I2.5R24, I3R24 and I4R24 groups, lower than that in sham group[(93.8±7.2)%](all P<0.01). Histopathological changes became aggravated gradually. The most severe group was I4R24 group, with the most severe myocyte injury, interstitial edema and extensive inflammatory infiltration, followed by I3R24, I2.5R24 and I2R24 groups in order. There was normal structure integrity and neatly arranged myocyte in sham group. Meanwhile, levels of C1q, C3b, FN, BR1, VCAM-1, E-selectin and FGL-2 got increased gradually. The highest levels for these factors were seen in I4R24 group, followed by I3R24 group, I2.5R24 group, I2R24 group and sham group in order. The rough ratio of the number of positive MPO cells/total cell number under high lens (×200) were increased gradually, with the highest level in I4R24 group, followed by I3R24 group, I2.5R24 group, I2R24 group and sham group in order. However, expression of TF and BR2 were not altered significantly among the groups. Plasma levels of INF-γ, IL-7, IL-18, MIP-1α and MCP-1 elevated gradually with prolongation of ischemia time (all P<0.01). The sequence was the sham group, I2R24 group, I2.5R24 group, I3R24 group and I4R24 groups for levels of these factors from low to high (all P<0.01). Conclusion:Reperfusion after prolongation of ischemia duration can increase the activation of complement, coagulation, kinin and endothelial cells as well as the release of inflammatory factors, and thus aggravate the degree of skeletal muscle tissue injury.
