Objective To study the effect of aspirin in the prevention of cardiovascular events for patients with hypertension.Methods 105 patients with hypertensive disease were randomly divided into group A,B,C, 35 cases in each group,and group A was dealed with nifedipine tablets treatment,group B were treated with nifedipine tablets and aspirin,group C was given nifedipine tablets and dipyridamole.The antihypertensive effects of the three groups were observed,three years through regular follow -up for all patients,the effects of prevention of cardiovascular events in patients with essential hypertension were observed.Results The occurrence probability of myocardial infarction,cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage in the group B were 2.85%,2.85%,0.00%,respectively, which were statistically significant less than those in the group A and C group(F =19.4,P <0.05).Conclusion The preventive effect of aspirin is better for cardiovascular events in hypertensive patients,which is worthy to be popu-larized and used in clinical studies,aspirin for this kind of disease is a kind of ideal.

Lead compound optimization plays an important role in new drug discovery and development. The strategies for changing metabolic pathways can modulate pharmacokinetic properties, prolong the half life, improve metabolism stability and bioavailability of lead compounds. The strategies for changing metabolic pathways and improving metabolism stability are reviewed. These methods include blocking metabolic site, reduing lipophilicity, changing ring size, bioisosterism, and prodrug.

The morbidity of obesity-related glomerulopathy(ORG) is on the increase in recent years.Studies have demonstrated that the chronic inflammation may play a key role in the pathogenesis of obesity related metabolic dysfunction.LipoxinA4 (LXA4) is an important anti-inflammatory lipid mediator,which is well known as the stop signal of the inflammatory reaction that can promote the resolution of inflammation.This review will provide a survey of recent advances on ORG and LXA4.

Objective To ascertain serum inflammatory markers could be modified following treatment of periodontal disease in elderly patients. Methods The probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (AL), C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) were determined. And then fifty-two elderly periodontitis patients underwent a standard phase of non-surgical periodontitis treatment (consisting of oral hygiene instructions and subgingival scaling and root planning). After three and six months, PD, AL, CRP and IL-6 were determined again and compared to the baseline. Results Six months after treatment, significant reductions in PD [(5.9±1.1) mm vs. (6.8±1.0) mm, P＜0.05], AL [(1.3±0.9) mm vs.(8.4±1.1) mm, P＜0.05], CRP [(1.5±0.2) mg/L vs. (2.0±0.3) mg/L, P＜0.01] and IL-6 [(1.6±0.5) ng/L vs. (1.9±0.4) ng/L, P＜0.05] were observed. Conclusions Treatment of chronic periodontitis can decrease the levels of serum inflammatory markers in elderly patients.

10 points or if the progressing osteoarthritis was proved by the T nnis grade.And the remaining patients would join in the satisfied group.The differences of preoperative clinical and radiographic factors between unsatisfied group and satisfied group were identified.[Result]Ten hips in the unsatisfied group had significantly more WOMAC pain score(t=3.969,P

Objective To establish a method of isolating and purifying islets from Wistar rat, and to evaluate the biological characters of the isolated and purified islets. Methods The pancreases were surgically removed from adult Wistar rats, carefully minced with scissors as small as possible prior to incubation in 0.9 mg/ml collagenase (Sigma, type Ⅴ) for 10~17min at 37℃. The digested tissue was filtered through a 60 apertures/cm~2 metal sieve and washed with 10% fetal bovine sera (FBS) in Hank’s solution. Purification was performed using Dextran discontinuous density gradient centrifugation to separate the contents of the postcollagenase pellets. Islet samples were stained with DTZ staining for identification. The viability of the purified islet was determined by acridine orange/propidium iodide (AO/PI) double staining. The in vitro function was assayed by different densities of glucose incubating islets for 45min, respectively. Insulin secretion in the supernatant was assayed by radioimmunoassay. Islets were transplanted under the kidney capsule into recipient SD rats that had been rendered diabetic by injecting streptozotocin 50mg/kg, so as to evaluate the in vivo function of islets. Results The islets were recovered between the 11% and 22% Dextran layers, and between the 11% and 1640 layers. The average number of isolated islets was 2181?14 per rat pancreas. After a discontinuous Dextran density gradient purification, about 1826?24 islets were obtained from per rat pancreas, with an average purity over 95%. Islets showed good response to glucose and high efficiency to invert hyperglycemia 7-10d after transplantation. Conclusion These results showed that the digestion methods and purification procedure which we have developed could provide islets from rats for transplantation studies. The biological characters of islets harvested by our method were very well.

Objective To prepare recombinant mda-7/IL-24 adenovirus to study its function on the proliferation of small cell lung cancer NCI-H446 cells. Methods According to the manufacturer's instructions of AdEasy vector system, mda-7/IL-24 cDNA was subcloned into the adenoviral shuttle vector pAdTrack-CMV. The efficient recombination of adenoviral backbone vector pAdEasy-1 and pAdTrack-CMV-mda-7/IL-24 was achieved in bacteria E. coli BJ 5183. The recombinant adenoviral vector pAd-mda-7/IL-24 linearized by Pac Ⅰ was transfected into HEK293 cells with lipofectamine 2000. To generate higher titer viral stocks, the amplification of recombinant adenovirus was accomplished in packing cells. Viral titers were measured by tissue culture infectious dose 50 (TCID_ 50 ) method. Ad.mda-7/IL-24 was identified by PCR. The expression of pAd-mda-7/IL-24 in NCI-H446 cells was detected by Western-blot analysis. The function of Ad.mda-7/IL-24 on the proliferation of NCI-H446 cells was assayed by MTT after cells were infected by 50 pfu/ml adenovirus. Results The recombinant adenoviral shutter vector pAdTrack-CMV-mda-7/IL-24 and recombinant adenoviral vector pAd-mda-7/IL-24 were constructed successfully as identified by sequence analysis. PCR assay showed that adenovirus Ad.mda-7/IL-24 contained mda-7/IL-24 cDNA. After amplification in packing cell HEK293, the titer of virus was 2?10~ 10 pfu/ml measured by TCID_ 50 assay. Western-blot results identified that MDA-7/IL-24 could be expressed in NCI-H446 cells. After infected by 50 pfu/ml adenovirus, the proliferation of NCI-H446 cells was inhibited by 21.37% with MTT method. Conclusion Ad.mda-7/IL-24 can inhibit the growth of NCI-H446 cell obviously. This result lays foundation to study its function mechanism and to apply it in gene therapy of the small cell lung cancer.

Objective:To observe the localization of chicken infectious anemia virus VP3 gene in normal cells and breast cancer cells in different times and its apoptosis-inducing effect.Methods: The fundamental cloning method,inserting the VP3 gene of chicken anemia virus into the eukaryotic expression vector pEGFP-C1 was used.Then,the positive recombinant containing VP3 gene pEGFP-C1-VP3 was transfected into human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 and mouse fibroblasts L929 by FuGENE(R)6 transfection reagent in vitro respectively.After 24 hours,48 hours and 72 hours,fluorescence microscope was used to observe the distribution of VP3 in cells and the rate of apoptosis was studied on the treated MCF-7 cells by FCM(Flow Cytometry).Results: The recombinant plasmid pEGFP-C1-VP3 could be localized in the nuclei of breast cancer cells,which showed the typical nuclear changes in different stages of apoptosis.In L929 cells,pEGFP-C1-VP3 underwent a process of migration from the nucleus to the cytoplasm,which didn′t induce apoptosis of L929 cells.Conclusion: VP3 located in the nucleus of MCF-7 breast cancer cells,which can led to cancer cell death by inducing apoptosis,and the apoptosis rate was higher than the control group with time dependence.VP3 located in the cytoplasm of normal cells,and didn′t induce apoptosis.
