Journal of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University 2017;41(1):72-74
Objective]To explore Professor YE Jin’s clinical experiences for dwarfism treatment based on spleen-insufficiency constitution related theory. [Methods]From the concept of dwarfism based on TCM, etiology and pathogenesis, key symptoms of spleen-insufficiency constitution and features medication to analyse the academic perspective and clinical experience of Professor YE Jin in the treatment of dwarfism, and list 1 proven case.[Results]Professor YE Jin thinks there’re 5 types constitutions of dwarfism, and attaches importance to adjust the unbalanced constitution of the patients. She thinks spleen-insufficiency constitution is basis of the other four types. She does well in enlivening and invigorating the spleen and activating spleen-energy.[Conclusion] Professor YE Jin has unique clinical experience for dwarfism treatment based on spleen-insufficiency constitution related theory, with significant effect.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of She medicine in treating lumbar intervertebral disc herniation (LIDH) in acute pain stage, and to explore its action mechanism.Method Sixty patients with LIDH in acute pain stage were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 30 in each group. The treatment group was intervened by She medicine, while the control group was by oral administration of Loxoprofen tablets. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was observed before and after intervention, and the clinical efficacies were compared.Result The excellence rate was 83.3% in the treatment group versus 60.0% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The VAS score changed significantly after intervention in both groups (P<0.01). After intervention, there was a significant difference in comparing the VAS score between the two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion She medicine is an effective approach in treating LIDH in acute pain stage, and it can significantly reduce pain.

[Aim]To create CPI mode of teaching Chinese as a foreign language in a TCM university. [Method]Based on conventional teaching, language partner and interculture communication class(mixing Chinese and international students) were introduced in CPI mode. The effect of this mode was ana-lyzed. [Result] By effectively promoting the cooperative learning between Chinese and international students, CPI mode could not only improve Chinese teaching effect, but also improve international students’ability on intercultural communication.[Conclusion] Based on its practice, CPI mode is believed as an effective way to improve teaching and study.

Xanthine oxidase (XOD), catalyzing purine metabolism, is the key enzyme in uric acid (UA) biosynthesis, and becomes an important target for hyperuricemia treatment. The inhibition on XOD plays an important role in the treatment of hyperuricemia-related diseases, such as gout, as well as oxidative stress-induced tissue injury. Here, studies on the natural products with XOD inhibition are reviewed.

BACKGROUND: Bone cement coated by different materials has various characteristics and causes varying therapeutic effects. OBJECTIVE: By comparing characteristics of CPC, CPC/D, and CPC/M/D3 to investigate the preparation of doxorubicin microspheres-coated bone cement. METHODS: Doxorubicin microspheres were prepared with multiple emulsion solvent volatilixation method. Doxorubicin microspheres were mixed with CPC as the ratio of 3:7 to prepare doxorubicin microspheres-coated bone cement. The samples were randomly divided into three groups: CPC group, containing bone cement alone; CPC/D group, containing doxorubicin;CPC/M/D group, containing doxorubicin microspheres. Scanning electron microscope at varying magnification was used to observe structural characteristics and measure the diameter of microspheres. X-ray diffraction was used to estimate the extent of CPC and CPC/M/D samples. The initial and final setting time of cement samples in the three different groups was measured at 25 ℃ and 37℃ respectively. The injectability and interval porosity of different samples were tested. The compressive strength of the specimens was measured using a universal material testing machine to record the maximal compressive strength and breaking strength. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: PLGA microspheres (100-150 μm) were globular and the surface was slick and sly. Micrestructure of bone cement was not obviously changed following mixing with drugs, thus the location and characteristics of drugs in bone cement were not determined. Micrespheres-coated bone cement (100-150 μm) was distributed among CPC powder. All the X-ray diffraction pattern of three different samples was in coincidence with standard X-ray diffraction pattern of hydroxyapatite, i.e., the major peak was located near 32°. Additional drugs and microspheres did not cause new phases. Obvious collapsing was not observed in the three samples following immediately adding in saline, but the collapsing appeared in both CPC/D and CPC/M/D samples after 24 hours. The setting-up time of CPC/M/D was the longest, but that of CPC was the shortest. On the other hand, the setting-up time was the longest at 37℃. The final setting-up time of CPC/M/D group was 45 minutes. The doxorubicin microspheres-coated bone cement showed the best property of injectability among the three kinds of cement. The interval porosity was the highest in the CPC/M/D group but the lowest in the CPC group. Interval porosity of doxorubicin microspheres-coated bone cement was up to 61.67%. The yield stress was the strongest in the CPC group but the weakest in the CPC/M/D group. Additionally, the yield stress of calcium phosphate cement dramatically decreased while doxrorubicin microspheres were coated. However, there was no significant difference between them. The preparation of doxorubicin microspheres-coated bone cement was reliable and the product had good structures and properties.

Objective To investigate microRNAs ( miRNAs) expression profiling of cardiomyocytes in rats with heart failure, and predict miRNAs-regulated target genes and their functions.Methods Total of 18 male SD rats weighing 200-220 g were randomly divided into 2 groups:the control group ( CON) and the heart failure group (HF).The rats in HF group were injected by adriamycin via tail vein to induce heart failure, meanwhile in CON group, rats were received an equal volume of 0.9% sodium chloride intravenously.The cardiomyocytes isolated from the rat hearts in two groups and cultured overnight.After that, total RNA was extracted and then subjected to miRNA microarray to screen differentially expressed miRNAs.The reults of microarray were further verified by quantitative real-time PCR ( qRT-PCR ) .The target genes regulated by differentially expressed miRNAs were predicted by the software of Targetscan and miRanda.Bioinformatics analysis was performed to predict the miRNAs-regulated target genes and analyze the enriched gene ontology ( GO) and signaling pathway ( KEGG Pathway) .Results The results of miRNA microarray showed that a total of 37 miRNAs were differentially expressed in HF group as compared to CON group, among which 22 miRNAs were up-regulated and 15 miRNAs were down-regulated (P<0.01, FDR<0.05).The expression of miR-133b-5p (t=14.56, P<0.01), miR-6216 (t=9.32, P<0.01) and let-7e-5p (t=13.92, P<0.01) which were detected by qRT-PCR exhibited the similar tendency of up or down regulation to those shown in microarray results.Bioinformatics analysis indicated that miRNAs-regulated target genes were significantly enriched in 31 GOs (P<0.01, FDR<0.05) and 12 signal pathways (P<0.05, FDR<0.05), among which ubiquitin-proteasome system, MAPK signaling pathway and Toll like siganling pathway exhibited a higher enrichment. Conclusion MiRNA expression profile on cardiomyocytes in rat with adriamycin-induced heart failure was significantly changed.These differentially expressed miRNAs might participate in the process of heart failing by regulating their target genes in rat cardiomyocytes.
