Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2006;0(12):-
Objective To study clinical features and its diagnosis and treatment of alcoholic cirrhosis.Methods 68 cases with alcoholic cirrhosis were retrospectively analyzed,with cirrhosis from hepatitis B as control.Results Alcoholic cirrhosis accounted for 8.5% of in-patient cirrhosis in the correspomding period,mean age being(53.5?14.6),and with more than 135g alcohol intake per day which persisted over 10 years.Such signs significantly increased as dark complexion,liver palms,spider naevi,hepatomegaly,ynecomastia,hypertrophy of parotid gland,?-glutamyltansferase(GGT),ratio of aspartate aminotransferase(AST) to alanine aminotransferase(ALT),mean corpuscular volume(MCV),uric acid(UA),serum ferritin(SF) rose apparently,usually combined with hepatogenic diabetes,peptic ulcer,hyperuricemia,hyperlipemia.Peculiar complication were alcohol withdrawal syndrome,gort,gouty arthritis,aseptic necrosis of femur.Among them,53 cases(77.9%) improved clinically,9 cases(13.2%) showed no effect,6 cases(8.8%) died.Conclusions Occurrence of dark complexion,liver palms,spider naevi,hepatomegaly,ynecomastia,hypertrophy of parotid gland and test of GGT,AST/ALT,MCV,UA,SF are helpful to clinic and differentiation diagnosis of alcoholic cirrhosis,abstinence are not able to prevent its development.Long-term therapy aiming at endotoxin toxemia might improve prognosis of alcoholic cirrhosis.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of PGE_1 for the treatment of hyperbilirubinemia due to viral hepatitis.Methods A prospective,randomized,single blind and parallel control clinical study enrolled 100 patients with icterohepatitis,who were randomized 1∶1 to two treatment groups;Each group was intravenously infused daily over a six-week treatment period:(1)200?g of PGE_1 injection;(2)20ml of potassium-magnesium aspartate injection.Results The PGE_1 treated patients were more superior in the recoveries of physical characteristics,icteric index and liver functions to the control group.The statistical difference of the PGE_1 group from the potassium-magnesium aspartate in the treatment of icterohepatitis occurred in the 3rd week of the therapy(P0.05).Conclusion PGE_1 is effective in the treatment of the acute or chronic viral hepatitis and the hyperbilirubinemia caused by early stage severe hepatitis.

Objective To investigate the expression of microRNA-1290 in pancreatic cancer and its role in invasion and metastasis of pancreatic cancer.Methods The expression of microRNA-1290 in pancreatic cancer tissue microarray and pancreatic cancer cell lines (AsPC-1,BxPC-3,Capan-2,Panc-1,and MIA PaCa-2) were detected by immunohistochemistry and QT-PCR.The pancreatic cancer cell lines Panc-1 and MIA PaCa-2 in logarithmic growth phase were treated with microRNA-1290 inhibitor,and the invasion and metastasis ability of pancreatic cancer cells were detected by Transwell and wound healing asssay.Western Blot was used to detect the expression of invasion and metastasis-associated proteins cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) and matrix metalloproteinase 2(MMP-2) in pancreatic cancer cell lines.Results (1) The expression of microRNA-1290 in pancreatic cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in normal pancreatic tissues and adjacent tissues (P < 0.05).(2) Compared with pancreatic normal epithelial cells (HPDE),the expression of microRNA-1290 was significantly higher in different pancreatic cancer cell lines (P < 0.05).The expression level of MicroRNA-1290 in Panc-1 and MIAPaCa-2 pancreatic cancer cells was significantly higher than that in other pancreatic cancer cell lines (P < 0.05).(3) The number of invasive and metastatic cells was significantly decreased after treatment with microRNA-1290 inhibitor (P <0.05).(4) The expression of MMP-2 and COX-2 were decreased in Panc-1 and MIAPaCa-2 pancreatic cancer cells treated with MicroRNA-1290 inhibitor.Conclusion The expression of MMP-2 and COX-2 may be involved in the invasion and metastasis of pancreatic cancer cell by regulating the expression of microRNA-1290 in pancreatic cancer.

Immunoproteasome is associated with various diseases such as hematologic malignancies, inflammatory, autoimmune and central nervous system diseases, and over expression of immunoproteasome is observed in all of these diseases. Immunoproteasome inhibitors can reduce the expression of immunoproteasome by inhibiting the production of related cell-inducing factors and the activity of T lymphocyte for treating related diseases. In order to achieve good efficacy and reduce the toxic effects, key for development of selective immunoproteasome inhibitors is the high selectivity and potent activity of the three active subunits of the proteasome. This review summarizes the structure and functions of immunoproteasome and the associated diseases. Besides, structure, activity and status of selective immunoproteasome inhibitors are also been highlighted.

The morphological structure and physiological indexes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae have changed during serial re-pitching due to the stress conditions in serial handlings and the cells become aging. It is of great significance to study the physiological changes of S. cerevisiae during serial re-pitching to understand the anti-aging effect of S. cerevisiae. In this paper, the changes of the physiological indexes during re-pitching of yeast are summarized, and based on the analysis of the previous works further research directions are proposed.
