Objective To explore the molecule mechanisms of migraine with hyperactivity of liver-yang related proteins. Methods Animal model of migraine with hyperactivity of liver-yang was established through electrical trigeminal ganglion stimulation,and by administering orally with Fuzi decoction. The total proteins of splenic lymphocytes in the rats were separated by immobilized pH gradient-based two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. With coomassie blue staining,the 2-DE images were analyzed by PDQuest 7.0 software. Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) and database were used to identify the differential proteins. Result Ten differential spots protein were identified,and they were chloride intracellular channel 1,thioredoxin peroxidase Ⅰ,thioredoxin peroxidase Ⅱ,sequence 7 from patent WO9709348,Rho GDP dissociation inhibitor (GDI) alpha,actin related protein 2/3 complex neurofilament light polypeptide,proteasome subunit beta type and heat shock protein-27,annexin A1. Conclusion These protein may be involved in the development of migraine with hyperactivity of liver-yang. These data provide useful clues for elucidating the mechanisms of migraine with hyperactivity of liver-yang.

[Objective] To investigate the effect of Xiaocuo Prescription (XP), a herbal medicine compound with the actions of clearing away heat and toxins, activating blood and removing blood-stasis, on acne vulgaris. [Methods] Four hundred and forty six cases of acne vulgaris were randomized to two groups: group A (325 cases) treated with oral use of XP (mainly composed of Flos Lonicerae, Herba Hedyotis Diffusae, Herba Taraxaci, Flos Chrysanthemi, Radix Scutellariae, Cortex Mori, Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae, etc.) and external application of Acne Vulgaris Liquid (composed of 3% metronidazole and 2% erythromycin), group B (121 cases) treated with oral use of isotretinoin and external application of Acne Vulgaris Liquid. Skin lesions on the face as well as the side effects were observed before and after treatment. [Results] Ridit analysis showed that curative effect in group A was better that in group B ( u = 2.204 6, P .05). No obvious side effects were found in group A but in 5 cases of group B side effects such as skin dryness, nausea and vertigo were found. [ Conclusion ] XP is effective in treating acne vulgaris . Further research is needed for its therapeutic mechanism.

Objective: To study the mechanism of Qilantangzhining Capsule in treating diabetes mellitus complicated with hyperlipemia. Method: Rats were fed with high sugar and fat food for 2 months, and then 2% streptozocin (STZ, 30mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally to induce hyperglycemic and hyperlipemic model. Thereafter, the model rats were administrated the drug. Flow cytometry (FCM) were used to detect effects of the capsule on hepatocyte apoptosis and the expression of related regulating genes, Bax and Bcl-2. Result: The rate of cell apoptosis remarkably increased among the model rats, the expression of Bax was significantly enhanced and that of Bcl-2 was decreased. Qilantangzhining Capsule could remarkably decrease the rate of cell apoptosis, decrease the expression of Bax, and increase that of Bcl-2. Conclusion: Qilantangzhining Capsule can prevent hepatocyte apoptosis by adjust the expression of Bax and Bcl-2, and accordingly provide evidences for its role in adjusting the metabolic disorders of sugar and fat.

Objective To investigate the effects of hairpin RNA on the expression of human papillomavirus E6 gene. Methods Plasmids expressing hairpin RNA, sense RNA and anti-sense RNA were constructed. The recombinants were transfected into cervical cancer cell line, CaSKi. Expression of E6 was detected with semi-quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot. Results Hairpin RNA could significantly reduce the expressions of E6 mRNA and protein, which was more efficient than traditional anti-sense RNA did. Conclusion The RNA interference through hairpin RNA can effectively inhibit the expression of target gene, and can be potentially useful in gene therapy of HPV related tumors.

Objective To analyse the long-term result and prognosis of 18 FDG PET/CT positioning three - dimensional conformal radiotherapy ( 3 DCRT ) for stage Ⅲ non - small cell lung cancer. Methods Sixty-four cases with stage Ⅲ non-small cell lung cancer (clinical stage Ⅲa- Ⅲb ) were randomly divided into two groups: PET/CT positioning three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy group (PET/CT group) and the conventional CT positioning three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy group (conventional CT group). In the PET/CT group, the target volume and critical organs were sketched according to PET/CT after fusion of the PET and the CT images; the treatment plan was worked out, then conventional fractionated 3DCRT ( total dosage around 40 Gy) followed by field-shrinked radiotherapy to a total dose of 65 Gy or sowas performed ;in the conventional CT group, the target volume and critical organs were sketched according to CT and 3DCRT were performed to the same total dose; All cases were treated with the TP scheme (paclitaxel 175 mg/m2,d1 ,cisplatin 40 mg,d2-4) adjuvant chemotherapy for 6 cycles after the radiotherapy. Results The followup rate was 100%. The number of patients who completed the 1-,2-and 5-year follow-up were 40,20 and 11 respectively ;The number of patients of the PET/CT group and conventional CT group were 23 and 17,11 and 9,7 and 4 respectively. Target volumes of 13 cases in the PET/CT group were changed. The complete remission and partial remission rates of the two groups were 13% 、66% and 19% 、53% (x2 = 0. 33, P =0. 564), respectively. The 1-,2-and 3-year local control rates of the PET/CT group and conventional CT group were84 % 、66% 、53 % an d72% 、59% 、44% ( x2 = 2.36, P = 0. 124 ) respectively. The1 -, 2-and 3-year survival rates were 72% 、34% 、22% and 53% 、28% 、13% (x2 =2. 46,P =0. 117) respectively. The level-1 and level-2 lungs' and trachea's late radiation injury of the PET/CT group and the conventional CT group were 28% and 53% ( x2 = 4. 14, P = 0. 042 ), respectively. The hilar and mediastinal lymph node recurrence rates of the PET/CT group were lower than those of the conventional CT group, were 3% ,25%(P = 0. 026) and 6%, 28% ( P = 0. 042 ), respectively. The main reason for treatment failure was distant metastasis both in the PET/CT group and conventional CT group,56% and 47% (x2 = 0. 56,P = 0. 453 ),respectively. Conclusions PET/CT, as a method of sketching the target of stage Ⅲ non-small cell lung cancer, can improve the radiation treatment plan, reduce the recurrence rate of hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes, meanwhile it can not improve the long-term survival rate; Distant metastasis was the main reason of failure.

Objective To investigate the effect of cogl410 on brain edema around lesion foci after traumatic brain edema (TBI) in mice and possible mechanism.Methods APOE-knockout TBI mice (n =130) were divided into cog1410 group and saline group according to the random number table,with 65 mice per group.Several time points (0,1,3,5,and 7 days) after TBI,13 mice were sacrificed in each group.TBI was induced with controlled cortex injury to the mice.A single injection of cog1410 solution or saline was administered via the caudal vein in 30 minutes after TBI.Levels of aquaporin-4 (AQP-4) around the lesion tissues were measured using the Western blot and q-PCR methods.Brain water content was determined by the dry-wet weight method.Results Brain water content in cog1410 group and saline group increased after TBI,reached the peak at day 3 [(81.184 ±0.009)% vs (84.184 ± 0.014) %] and normalized at day 7 [(76.018 ± 0.003) % vs (77.790 ± 0.012) %] (P < 0.05).There were almost no changes in AQP-4 mRNA expression in saline group after TBI.Whereas in cog1410 group,AQP-4 mRNA was greatly down-regulated at day 3 (0.278 ±0.014),increased greatly at days 5 and 7 after TBI (1.744 ± 0.014,1.782 ± 0.003) (P < 0.05).Level of AQP-4 protein in saline group was increased at day 1 (0.491 ±0.060),reached the peak (0.605 ±0.099),and gradually returned to the preinjury level at days 5 and 7 (0.434 ± 0.042,0.358 ± 0.034).By contrast,level of AQP-4 protein in cog1410 group revealed no notable changes at day 1,slight increase at day 3,significant increase at day5 (1.079±0.090),and apeak at day7 (1.247±0.210) (P<0.05).Conclusion cog1410 can significantly alleviate brain edema around the lesion foci of mice with TBI,as may be achieved by altering the mRNA and protein levels of AQP-4.
