Objective To investigate the relationship between leukocyte counts and coronary artery stenosis as well as try to find the possible cause of coronary heart disease. Methods All the 220 patients underwent coronary angiography and leukocyte counts. The Gensini scoring system was used to determine the results of the coronary angiography. All patients were allocated into three groups according to the Gensini score. 74 cases with 0-3.00 score were classified into group CHD1 while 73 cases with 3.01-32.67 score were classified into group CHD2 and 73 cases with 32.68-180.00 score into group CHD3. The distribution of leukocyte counts in the three groups underwent analysis of variance and the relationship between leukocyte counts and the Gensini score was further investigated by means of multiple linear regression analysis. [WT5”HZ]Results The analysis of one way variance showed that neutrophil, monocyte and leukocyte counts were associated with the Gensini score. Multiple linear regression analysis adjusted for many risk factors for coronary heart disease showed that neutrophil counts had independent association with the Gensini score. Conclusion Neutrophil counts were independently associated with coronary artery stenosis.

HPLC fingerprint of Congrong Zonggan capsule was established in order to provide basis for quality evaluation. With acteoside as the reference, HPLC was adopted for fingerprint analysis on Congrong Zonggan capsule. The chromatographic conditions wereas follows. Waters C18 column (4.6 mm x 150 mm, 5 μm) was used, with methylalcohol-0.1% formic acid as the mobile phase for gradient elution at the flow rate of 1.0 mL x min(-1). The detection wavelength was 330 nm, and the column temperature was 30 °C. This method was highly accurate and reproducible. All of the 13 components in tested samples reached the baseline resolved peak, and 15 batches of finished products showed the similarity of above 0.95. The method was accurate and feasible and could be used as a simple and effective method to evaluate the quality of the traditional Chinese medicines.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the antibiotic resistance of Staphylococcus aureus isolates from the clinical samples from 2005 to 2007.METHODS The susceptibility tests and D-test were performed by the disk diffusion method and their results were analyzed by the software WHONET 5.4.RESULTS The rate of MRSA isolates accounted for 64.1%.The resistance rate to 12 kinds of the antimicrobial agents,such as penicillins,cephalosporins and carbapenems was 100%.The MRSA and MSSA were susceptible to linezolid and vancomycin.No isolates were resistant to vancomycin in our hospital;the positive rate of D-test was 78.7%.CONCLUSIONS MSSA is still sensible to most of the antimicrobial agents,but MRSA shows multidrug resistance.The D-test is of great clinical importance.

The chemical constituents from polarity part in the roots of Angelica dahurica var. formosana cv. Chuanbaizhi were studied in this paper. The compounds were separated and purified by repeated column chromatographic methods on silica gel and HPLC, and the chemical structures of compounds were determined by spectral data analyses. Fourteen compounds were obtained and identified as tert-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(R)-byakangelicin (1), (2"S) -3"-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-oxypeucedanin hydrate (2), marmesinin (3), sec-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-byakangelicin (4), isofraxidin-7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (5), benzyl-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (6), 8-O-β-D-glycopyranosylxanthotoxol (7), prenyl-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (8), scopolin (9), (2' R) -5'-hydroxymarmesin-5'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (10), (2'S,3'R) -3'-hydroxymarmesinin (11), skimmin (12), benzyl-O-β-D-apiofuranosyl-(1"--> 6')-β-D-glucopyranoside (13), and decuroside IV (14). Among them, compounds 2, 5, 6, 8, and 10-13 were obtained from the roots of title plant for the first time.

Objective To observe the effect of PKB gene silencing on the growth of gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901 in vitro.Methods Gene transfection technique was used to transfect AKt2 siRNA into gastric cancer cells.Akt2 expression was detected by RNAi technique,Akt2 protein level was detected by Western blot,and the change of cell cycle distribution and apoptosis of SGC-7901 cells were detected by flow-cytometry,SGC-7901 proliferation was measured by MTT method.Results After SGC-7901 cells transfected with Akt2 siRNA,the expression of protein level decreased obviously(P

Termite nests is rarely seen in the clinical applications of traditional Chinese medicine, generally used for the treatment of the bone injuries and internal medical diseases. According to the recent research on termite nests, this article makes a summarize of its distribution, types, pharmacognosy characteristics, chemical composition, pharmacological effects and its application research aspects, so as to provide reference for the further development and utilization of termite nests.

Objective To evaluate the correlation of the ion selectivity electrode assay and arsenazo Ⅲ assay for serum calcium determination and compare the differences between two methods.Methods 142 serum samples were collected from patients and detected by ion selectivity electrode assay and arsenazo Ⅲ assay,the differences of two methods were compared,person correlation and Bland -Altman was used to discuss the correlation.Results The serum calcium concentration detected by ion selectivity electrode assay was (2.23 ±0.10)mmol/L and detected by arsenazo Ⅲ assay was (2.24 ±0.12)mmol/L,the difference between the two methods was not statistically significant (t =-1.09,P >0.05).The person correlation analysis demonstrated that the two methods had a positive correlation (r =0.393,P <0.01).The Bland -Altman consistency analysis showed that ion selectivity electrode assay was agreed with arsenazo Ⅲ assay.Conclusion The two methods for serum calcium concentration determination,the ion selectivity electrode assay was coincidence with the arsenazo Ⅲ assay.

Objective To evaluate the effect of ALD on podocyte apoptosis and the possible roles of Akt in ALD-induced apoptosis. Methods The cultured rat podocytes were incubated with increasing concentrations of ALD (10-9~10-5 mol/L) for variable time periods. Apoptosis was evaluated by cell nucleus staining and flow cytometry. RT-PCR was used to examine the expression of mineralocorticoid receptor (MR)and 11 Beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (11?-HSD2) mRNA in podocyte. Activation of Akt/PKB was evaluated by performing Akt kinase assay. Results ALD induced podocyte apoptosis in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The proapoptotic effect was attenuated by the presence of spironolactone (10-7mol/L). The expression of MR and 11P-HSD2 mRNA was demonstrated in the podocytes by RT-PCR. ALD also inhibited the activity of Akt in a dose-dependent manner, but the inhibitory effect was significantly ameliorated by the presence of spironolactone. The activity of Akt was negatively correlated with podocyte apoptosis. Conclusion ALD induces apoptosis in rat podocytes through the signaling mechanism by which Akt is inhibited.
