Objective To investigate the prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism and its relation to serum total cholesterol (TC),triglyceride (TG) levels and non-alcoholic fatty liver.Methods Serum levels of TC,TG, TSH,TT_3 and TT_4 were determined in 1 602 subjects which were divided into groups by sex and age (20-39,40- 59 and≥60 years).Fatty liver was diagnosed by type B ultrasonography.Restults ( 1 ) Prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism was 6.6% in this population.(2) The mean levels of serum TC and TG in subclinical hypothyroidism group and normal group showed no significant difference ( both P＞0.05 ).(3) On the whole,the prevalences of subclinical hypothyroidism in hypercholesterolemia group and normal cholesterolemia group showed significant difference (P＜0.01 ).(4) In the three age groups of male and few.ale examinees,the prevalences of subclinical hypothyroidism in hypercholesterulemla group and normal cholesterolemia group showed no significant difference ( all P＞0.05 ).In the multiple regression analysis,TSH level was not related with raised TC level.(5) In the three age groups of male,there was no significant difference between the prevalences of subclinical hypothyroidism in hypertriglyceridemla group and normal triglyceridemia group ( all P＞0.05 ).In female,expect for the elderly group (＞60 years old ),the prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism was higher in hypertriglyceridemia group than that in normal triglyceridemia.However,in the multiple regression analysis, increased TSH level was positively associated with increased serum TG level ( OR = 1.072,P=0.013 and OR = 1.102,P = 0.03 ).(6) The prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism in non-alcobolic fatty liver group and normal group showed no significant difference ( P＞0.05 ).In the multiple regression analysis,TSH level was not the independent risk factor of non-alcoholic fatty liver (P＞0.05 ).Conclusion Subclinical hypothyroidism is not asseciated with serum TC level but positively associated with serum TG level.Subclinical hypothyroidism does not apparently increase the prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver.

To understand the impact of salvianolate injection treatment of liver and kidney function using different from the hospital information system nationwide 18 large three hospitals (hospital information system, HIS) to extract using salvianolate age 18-80 years-old patient, a total of 10 470 cases, depending on the treatment used to have two times before and after treatment 7 d aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase patients (ALT), serum creatinine (Cr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) measurement indicators grouped according salvianolate continuous use different treatment patients were divided into two groups, continuous medication time > 14 d were defined as the observation group, ≤ 14 d were defined as the control group, continuous medication longer than 31 d were not included in the analysis. Each index number of the observation group and the control group were: ALT (268/1 465), AST (270/1 585), Cr (278/1 582), BUN (278/1 611). After using propensity score methods to balance two groups of covariates, based on unweighted logistic regression logistic regression propensity score weighting combined with propensity score weighting to adjust for covariates logistic regression of liver and kidney function in the two groups were analyzed. The results showed: three logistic regression analysis showed no likelihood of ALT, AST, Cr targets two groups of patients with abnormal statistically significant difference, continuous medication time > 14 d may increase the risk of abnormal BUN indicators, comprehensive analysis still can not explain use different treatment of patients salvianolate cause liver and kidney toxicity damage, still large prospective randomized controlled trials further study.

OBJECTIVE To construct a lentiviral vector of RNA interference (RNAi) of MMP-9 gene and observe its inhibitive role on the invasion of laryngeal cancer cells.METHODS The effective sequence of siRNA targeting MMP-9 gene was confirmed.Both sense and antisense Oligo DNA of the targeting sequence was designed,synthesized and cloned into the pLVTHM vector,which contained H1 promoter and green fluorescent protein (GFP).The resulting lentiviral vector containing MMP-9 shRNA was called LV2 shMMP-9,and it was confirmed by PCR and sequencing.After that,MMP-9 shRNA was transfected into Hep-2 cells and western blot was used to test the expression of MMP-9.At last,Boyden Chamber was used to observe the invasion of the Hep-2 cells. RESULTS PCR and DNA sequencing demonstrated that the lentivirus RNAi vector of MMP-9 (LV2shMMP-9) producing MMP-9 shRNA was constructed successfully. The titer of concentrated virus was 8?1010TU /L. Western blot showed that the expression of MMP-9 was negative in the MMP-9 siRNA transfected Hep-2 cells. And Boyden Chamber showed the invasive capability of Hep-2 cells transfected MMP-9 siRNA were obviously decreased.CONCLUSION The lentivirus RNAi vector of MMP-9 was constructed successfully,and MMP-9 silence can inhibit invasion of laryngeal cancer in vitro.

Objective: To interview the role of CGRP to hepatic microcirculation in acute liver injury induced by coneanavalin A(Con A). Methods: Sixty Kunming rats were divided into three groups randomly(n=20), acute liver injury was established by injection with 20 mg/kg Con A through the tail vein. A saline control group was established by injection with saline. In CGRP-administered group, CGRP was given to rats 30 min before Con A injected. Ten mice in each group were used to observe the average liver blood flow volume and concentration by laser-doppler flow-instrument, and the other ten rats were observed the hepatic microcirculation velocity in vivo by an inverted microscope. Liver damage was assessed by histological evaluation after the rat had been killed. Results: Compared to the injury group, the average liver blood flow volume and velocity were significantly increased in CGRP-administered group, meanwhile, the pathological injury was markedly alleviated, whereas the blood concentration was almost the same. Conclusion: CGRP can decrease the dysfunction of hepatic microcirculation by means of improving the tissue perfusion, and alleviate the pathological damage during acute liver injury.

Viral hepatitis is clinical multiple strong infectious disease, to know characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine clinical use in patients with viral hepatitis, the research object of this study is 41 180 cases of hospitalized patients with viral hepatitis in hospital information system from 17 grade A hospitals, using frequency statistics and association rules method to analyze the traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine clinical use information, the drug kinds analysis results: western medicine of reduced glutathione tablets use frequency is highest, 14 079 cases (34.61%), traditional Chinese medicine of diammonium glycyrrhizinateuse frequency is highest, 14 058 cases (34.56%); traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine drug combination in diammonium glycyrrhizinate combined with reduced glutathione tabletsuse frequency is highest, 8 607 cases (25.09%). The mechanism of drug classification results :both traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine are the sort of educed enzyme medicine that has the highest percentage of drug use, traditional Chinese medicine 10 983 cases (27.01%), western medicine, 9 595 cases (23.59%); traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine combination in a kind of medicine to clear heat and promote diuresis combined with educed enzyme drug use frequency is highest, 5 621 cases (13.82%). Through the analysis above, combine traditional Chinese and western medicine therapy for the treatment of viral hepatitis should be given priority. Traditional Chinese medicine to clear heat and promote diuresis combined with western medicine of educed enzyme drug is the most commonly appear in clinical two drug combination scheme, traditional Chinese medicine to clear heat and promote diuresis combined with western medicine of educed enzyme drug and nucleustide analogsis the most commonly appear in clinical three drug combination scheme.
