Pulmonary hypertension has now become a common diseases threaten to human health .There are many factors that can cause pulmonary hypertension , such as heredity, immune injury, inflammation and endothelial function damage , etc.In recent years, studies have found that patients with pulmonary hypertension commonly have the phenomenon of iron deficiency , and intravenous iron agent can improve that , but the specific mechanism is unclear .Iron in the human body mainly is controlled by a protein called hepcidin, it inhibits iron flow from the gastrointestinal to the blood .Thus, intravenous iron administration can provide new options for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension .This paper reviews the progress of the iron deficiency and pulmonary hypertension .

Objective To investigate the proliferation inhibition and apoptosis induction effect of thalidomide(Thal) and its joint effect with 5-Fu on MGC-803 cell line. Methods The morphological changes of MGC-803 cells with AO/EB stain were observed under fluorescence microscope. The proliferation inhibition effeet was evaluated with MTT. The apoptosis induction effect was determined by FAM. Results The results of MTr array were as below: the difference was significant between Thai groups of 25 mg/L or above concentration and the control group (P＜0.05), 5-Fu of all testing concentrations showed significant difference compared with the control gToup(P＜0.01). For combined groups with the same concentration of 25 mg/L 5-Fu,combined groups showed distinct difference from the corresponding 5-Fu group (P＜0.01), but two combined groups showed no distinct difference with each other (P＞0.05). For combined groups with the same concentration of 5-Fu 12.5 mg/L, 5-Fu plus 50 mg/L or 100 mg/L Thai showed no distinct difference from 5-Fu group of 25 mg/L(P＞0.05). With FAM study, all test groups showed significant difference compared with the control group (P＜0.01). There was also significant difference between two test groups arbitrarily (P＜0.01).Conclusion Both Thai and 5-Fu could inhibit the proliferation and induce the apoptosis of MGC-803 cells.The effect is reinforced with the combination significantly. Combination with Thai could decrease the concentration of 5-Fu but have the similar effect.

OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for the contents determination of cholic acid,hyodeoxycholic acid and deoxy-cholate acid in Naoxueshuan tablet. METHODS:HPLC-ELSD was performed on the column of SHIMADZU VP-ODS C18 with mo-bile phase of acetonitrile-0.2% formic acid(gradient elution)column temperature was 30 ℃,at flow rate of 1.0 ml/min,and the vol-ume injection was 10 μl. RESULTS:The linear range was 0.039 84-0.398 4 mg for cholic acid,0.032 064-0.320 64 mg for hyode-oxycholic acid and 0.0339 52-0.339 52 μg for deoxycholate acid(r≥0.999 0),and the logarithm value of volume injection and peak area showed good linear relationship;RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were lower than 2%;recoveries were 101.33%-104.05%(RSD=0.95%,n=6),95.56%-101.38%(RSD=2.54%,n=6)and 96.07%-97.12%(RSD=0.44%,n=6),re-spectively. CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple and accurate,and suitable for the contents determination of cholic acid,hyode-oxycholic acid and deoxycholate acid in Naoxueshuan tablet.

BACKGROUND:Proto-oncogene c-Src plays an important role in regulating cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension. At present, there were no studies concerning exercise intervention effects on c-Src expression in aortic endothelial cels so as to regulate hypertension. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of aerobic exercise on c-Src mRNA expression and c-Src activity in the aorta blood vessel endothelial cels of spontaneous hypertensive rats. METHODS: A total of 8 male Wistar rats were considered as normal control group. Sixteen spontaneous hypertensive rats were randomly assigned to 8 rats as spontaneous hypertension group and 8 rats as spontaneous hypertension exercise group. Rats in the spontaneous hypertension exercise group carried on 90 minutes unloaded aerobic swimming every day, 6 days a week, for 8 weeks. The rats in the normal control group and spontaneous hypertension group did not swim. Blood pressure of rats was measured once a week. 8 weeks later, the c-Src mRNA expression and c-Src activity were determined in aortic vascular endothelial cels of rats in each group. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with spontaneous hypertension group, blood pressure was lower, but c-Src mRNA expression and c-Src activity were significantly higher in the spontaneous hypertension exercise group. The c-Src activity and c-Src mRNA expression were higher in the spontaneous hypertension exercise group than normal control group and spontaneous hypertension group (P < 0.01). Results indicated that aerobic exercise can promote the increase in c-Src activity and c-Src mRNA expression in aortic endothelial cels of spontaneous hypertensive rats.

Background and purpose:The skeleton is the most common site of tumor metastasis in lung cancer.Skeletal complications from bone metastasis,such as severe bone pain,functional impairment,may substantially reduce quality of life,in some situations,may result in death.We explored the efficacy of ibandronate combined with chemotherapy in treatment of lung cancer with bone metastasis.Methods:Sixty-four lung cancer patients with bone metastasis were randomized into two groups:38 patients in study group received normal chemotherapy combined with ibandronate,and 26 patients in control group received normal chemotherapy only.Results:The response rate of pain relief in the study group and control group was 71.1% and 42.3%,respectively(P=0.006).In study group,serum alkaline phosphatise and serum calcium was decreased after treatment by ibandronate combined with chemotherapy(P0.05).Conclusion:Ibandronate is safe and well tolerated. Ibandronate combined with chemotherapy is effective in relief of the pain caused by bone metastases and may inhibit bone metastasis.

Objective To study the phenotype profiles of bone marrow micrometastatic tumor cells in patients with breast cancer. Methods Immunocytochemical staining was used to study the biologic markers of disseminated tumor cells, and U-PA activity of the plasma in the bone marrow was assayed in breast cancer patients.Results Judged by positive immunocytochemical staining of EMA and CK19, bone marrow micrometastasis was found in 30 out of 72 (41 67%) breast cancer patients. The primary tumor size (? 2=6 417, P=0 040) and p53 protein expression (? 2 =5 930, P=0 025) were significantly correlated with the incidence of micrometastasis. Disseminated tumor cells expressed low protein cyclinD1, p53,Ki-67, EGFR, and high protein p21. Tumor size and axillary lymph node status were found to be significantly correlated with the u-PA activity level. Conclusion Disseminated tumor cells in the bone marrow was in a status of low-cycling and low-proliferation.
