Objective To study the effect of atorvastatin on the levels of high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP)in coronary heart disease(CHD)patients with different Gensini score.Methods 120 cases of CHD from March 201 1 to September 2015 in our hospital were selected as the research subjects.According to the different Gensini scores,they were divided into group A (Gensini score <40 ),group B (Gensini score 40 -60 ),group C (Gensini score 60 -80 ),group D (Gensini score >80 ),with 30 patients in each group.All patients were given atorvastatin treatment,the therapeutic effect of the four groups,the total cholesterol(TC),three glycerol(TG),high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL -C)and hs -CRP levels after treatment were compared.Results After treatment,the lower the Gensini score,the better curative effect,four groups had statistically significant difference in the therapeutic effects(P<0.05),and the total effective rates of group A,B, C and D were 96.7%,86.7%,76.6%,56.7%.After treatment,the TG,TC,HDL-C,LDL-C in four groups were improved,A group improved significantly better than the B group,B group improved better than those of C group,C group improved better than those of D group,the differences were statistically significant(F=6.253,6.258,5.856, 6.259,all P<0.05).After treatment,the levels of hs-CRP in group A,B,C and D were (8.2 ±3.9)mg/L,(11.9 ± 6.9)mg/L,(19.2 ±9.3)mg/L,(24.5 ±11.6)mg/L,the hs-CRP levels of four groups were lower,hs-CRP level after treatment in group A was lower than that of B,C,D groups;and hs-CRP level after treatment in group B was lower than that of group C,D;hs-CRP level of C group after treatment was lower than that of group D.The differ-ences were statistically significant(t=12.651,9.185,4.982,3.030,all P<0.05).Conclusion The level of serum hs-CRP in patients with CHD is higher,and the level of hs-CRP is positively correlated with the Gensini score.

METHODS: The content of rilmazafone was determined by UV spectrophotometry in accordance with Chinese Pharmacopeia (2005 edition). The detective wavelength was set at 254 nm. RESULTS: The linear range of rilmazafone was 2.5～30 ?g?mL-1 (r=0.999 9) and the average recovery was 99.41% (RSD=0.59%,n=10). CONCLUSION: The method is simple, accurate and applicable for the determination of rilmazafone in this preparations.

OBJECTIVETo study the effect of nadroparin in the migration of breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231 and its action mechanism.

METHODThe MTT test was adopted to observe the effect of different concentrations of naringenin on the growth capacity of breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231. Wound healing and transwell experiment analysis were conducted to detect the effect of naringenin on the migration of breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231. Western blotting was adopted to investigate the effect of naringenin on protein expressions of MDA-MB-231 cell Integrin β3, β1 and matrix metalloproteinase MMP-2 and MMP-9. The computer virtual docking technique was used to evaluate the combining capacity of naringenin and Integrin β3 in vitro.

RESULTNaringenin inhibited the migration of MDA-MB-231 cells in a dose-dependent manner. In wound healing and transwell experiments, with the increase in the concentration of naringenin, the number of migrant MDA-MB-231 cells and the invasion capacity of breast cancer cells decreased. Naringenin could inhibit the protein expression of Integrin β3 in a dose-dependent manner, but with unobvious effect on expression of Integrin β1. Besides, naringenin could significantly inhibit the protein expressions of MMP-2 and MMP-9. The results of the computer virtual docking showed a negative value in the combining capacity between naringenin and Integrin β3, indicating the high affinity between them.

CONCLUSIONNaringenin can inhibit the growth capacity of breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231 and block the migration and invasion of breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231. Its mechanism is to down-regulate MMP-2 and MMP-9 expressions after combining with Integrin β3.

Aim To investigate the effects of curcumin on expression of HIF-1? in human hepatocellular carcinoma BEL-7402 cells.Methods Different concentrations of 0,2.5,5,10,15 and 20 ?mol?L~(-1) curcumin-treated human hepatocellular carcinoma BEL-7402 cells were cultured under hypoxia for 6 hours.The cell proliferation and cell viability were assayed by WST-8 and the trypan blue dye exclusion method.The expression level of HIF-1? in human hepatocellular carcinoma BEL-7402 cells was checked by RT-PCR and Western Blot;0,10 ?mol?L~(-1) curcumin,10 ?mol?L~(-1) MG-132,and 10 ?mol?L~(-1) curcumin +10 ?mol? L~(-1) MG-132-treated human hepatocellular carcinoma BEL-7402 cells were cultured under hypoxia for 6 hours.The protein expression level of HIF-1? protein in human hepatocellular carcinoma BEL-7402 cells was checked by Western Blot.Results ① No significant difference was found in the cell proliferation rate and cell viability between control and different concentrations of curcumin.② Curcumin can down-regulate the expression of HIF-1? protein with the increasing concentrations.③ the effect of curcumin on expression of HIF-1?mRNA had no significant difference between control and different concentrations.④ MG-132 can reverse the curcumin-mediated decrease of HIF-1? protein.Conclusion Inhibitory effect of curcumin on expression of HIF-1? in human hepatocellular carcinoma BEL-7402 cells was acted through posttranscriptional mechanisms and the proteasome pathway.

BACKGROUND: Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) began in the early 1970s, which was once negated due to high postoperative repair rate. The methods for early unicompartment osteoarthritis of the knee include UKA, total knee arthroplasty, high tibial osteotomy and fibular truncation. A large number of retrospective studies and literatures have pointed that UKA is effective for unicompartment osteoarthritis of the knee and holds unique advantages.OBJECTIVE: To review the status and research progress of UKA for anteromedial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee in view of indications, contraindications, operation curve, operation process and main technical points and clinical efficacy.METHODS: The first author retrieved the databases of PubMed and CNKI from March 2006 to September 2016 using the keywords of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, knee, osteoarthritis, clinical application in English and Chinese,respectively. A total of 95 literatures were searched, and 40 eligible articles were included in accordance with the inclusion criteria.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Only unilateral lesion (the degenerative cartilage surface of tibiofemoral joint) is replaced in UKA to treat early unicompartment osteoarthritis of the knee, which exhibits less trauma, rapid recovery, few complications, and normal postoperative proprioception of joint and high patient acceptance. Because of its narrow surgical indications, UKA application has been restricted compared with total knee arthroplasty. Indeed, total knee arthroplasty is matureand, and its long-term curative effect is clear. In contrast, UKA is carried out late in China, has not been popularized, and the long-term clinical efficacy remains to be verified further. But if we can accurately grasp the operation indications, choose appropriate patients, make careful preoperative preparation, and master mature skills, the clinical effect will be satisfactory. With the development of prosthesis, equipment design and operation technology, UKA will be prevailed in the treatment of anteromedial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee.

Objective To study the effect of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) on the immune system by measuring the apoptosis and expression of Fas/FasL mRNA of thymocytes. Methods The cell viability of thymocytes was determined by MTT assay. Thymocyte apoptosis was detected by agrese gel electrophoresis. The expression of Fas and Fas-L was analyzed by a semi-quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method. Results DHEA decreased the cell viability of thymocytes and induced thymocytes apoptosis and increased the levels of mRNA of Fas/FasL. Conclusion DHEA can induce apoptosis of thymocytes through Fas/Fas-L pathway. It suggests that DHEA may play a role in certain autoimmune diseases related to apoptosis disturbance.
