To study the anti-coagulant effect and influence of danggui Sini decoction (DSD) on rat's plasma endogenous metabolites by animal experiment and ¹H-NMR based metabolomics method. After intragastric administration of Danggui Sini Decoction for 7 days, Plasma thrombin time (TT) was measured. Rat plasma metabolic fingerprint in two groups was analyzed using ¹H-NMR, based on which the principal component analysis( PCA) and orthogonal partial least-squares discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA) models for metabonomic analysis. Potential biomarkers were screened by using variable importance in the projection (VIP) and T test. DSD could prolong TT of the rat significantly (P < 0.05). Compared with control group, six kinds of endogenous metabolites in DSD group change significantly (P < 0.05), among which isobutyrate, carnitine and phenylalanine content had an upward trend (P < 0.01) and lysine, Histidine and cholesterol content had a downward trend (P < 0.05). It is likely that carnitine, phenylalanine, Histidine and cholesterol are the potential metabolic markers in the anti-coagulant process and DSD affects the platelet aggregation and the expression of tissue factor and fiber protease by regulating the energy, amino acid and lipid metabolism.

Objective To evaluate the development of the sphincter muscle complex(SMC)and defecation function in pediatric patients with congenital anorectal malformations(ARM).Methods A total of 64 children underwent MRI,among whom 39 were patients with ARM,and the others were patients without ARM undergoing MRI because of other dieases.The dimensions of the SMC in different planes were evaluated with different sequences and coils.The relationship between the SMC development and the defecation function was investigated.Results In control group,the absolute value of SMC width was (3.63?0.22)mm,which had a high correlation with age(r=0.998,P0.05).The SMCs in intermediate ARM patients[muscle index(MI)=0.47?0.05]and low ARM patients(MI=0.49? 0.05)were well developed.The SMCs in a portion of patients with high ARM(MI=0.28?0.06)were poorly developed,when MI≤0.18,anorectal contraction pressurewas significantly lower(t=3.55, P0.18[(0.85?0.20)vs(2.24?1.02)kPa].The length of anal canal with high-pressure[(10.88?3.64)vs(20.26?4.34)mm]was shorter(t=5.18,P0.18,the anorectal angle was less than 90 degrees,and normal continent function was found in 21 of 23 cases(91%).Conclusion MRI can be employed to evaluate the development of SMC in patients with ARM,MI was an objective criteria to evaluate the development of SMC.When MI≤0.18, maldevelopment of SMC will be highly suspected.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of ulinastain on the expression of hemeoxy genase-1 (HO-1) in oil acid-induced acute lung injury in rats. METHODS: The animal model of acute lung injury was established by oil acid. Thirty SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: the blank control group (A), the acute lung injury group (B) and the acute lung injury group (C) followed by injecting 100 mL/kg ulinastatin. Each group consisted of 10 rats. Group A were given 0.2 mL/kg natural solution through the trial vein; Group B and C were given 0.2 mL/kg oil-acid through trial vein, while group C were injected 100mL/kg ulinastatin by the peritoneal cavity after injecting oil acid. After 4 hours, the rates of respiration were counted and blood samples were cramped out through the heart puncture for blood gas analysis. The expressions of hemeoxygenase-1 and the pathologic construction changes were determined by HE staining in the lower right lung of rats in the 3 groups. RESULTS: The respiration dysfunction caused by oil acid could be prominently improved by ulinastain. There was only a little expression of hemeoxygenase-1 in the lung of Group A, but the expression increased in Group B and significatively increased in Group C. CONCLUSION Ulinastatin may protect the rats from acute lung injury through increasing the expression of HO-1.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of water extract of notopterygium incisum (WN) on neuropathic pain and its molecular biological mechanism.METHODS Pain behavior test to detect the effects of WN on thermal hyperalgesia and me-chanical hyperalgesia in acute pain and chronic constriction injury(CCI)induced neuropathic pain model.Immunohistochemis-try and qPCR were used to detect the expression of TRPV1 .Calcium imaging was used to detect calcium influx of capsaicin (TRPV1 agonist) in CCI mice after oral administration of WN.RESULTS WN significantly reduced the thermal hyperalgesia and mechanical hyperalgesia in acute pain model and CCI model (P<0.001).The expression of TRPV1 in protein level and mRNA level in DRG neurons were significantly inhibited by administration of WN(P<0.05).The response of DRG neurons to capsaicin was significantly inhibited by the treatment of WN(P<0.001).CONCLUSION WN alleviated CCI-induced me-chanical allodynia and thermal hypersensitivity via modulating TRPV1 .Our results revealed a new molecular biological mecha-nism of analgesia effect to traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of coronary artery spasm patients with or without myocardial bridge and explore the roles of endothelial dysfunction in these patients.Methods One hundred eighteen patients undergone acetylcholine provoking test were divided into myocardial bridge(MB)group(n=26)and non-myocardial bridge(NMB) group(n=92).The results of acetylcholine test,treadmill exercise electrocardiography,stress myocardial peffusion scintigraphy,plasma level of endothelin-1 and nitric oxide were compared between MB group and NMB group.Results Coronary artery spasm was induced in 21 patients in MB group(81%)and 52 patients in NMB group(57%,P＜0.05).Positive treadmill electrocardiography was obtained in 19 patients in MB group(73%)and 7 patients in NMB group (8%,P＜0.001).Ischemic perfusion defect in 20(77%)and 9 patients(10%,P＜0.001)and reverse redistribution in 23(88%)and 68 patients(74%,P＞0.05).Patients showed different clinical features in MB group and NMB group(more short-duration exertional angina and could not be readily released by nitroglycerine in MB group while more patients experienced long-lasting variant angina and symptoms could be readily released by nitroglycerine).Plasma endothelin-1 level was significantly higher[(132.1±6.5)ns/L vs.(108.5±8.2)ng/L,P＜0.01]while nitric oxide was significant lower[(84.7±17.5)ns/L vs.(99.8±18.2)ng/L,P＜0.05]in MB group compared to NMB group.Conclusion MB patients were prone to coronary artery spasm partly due to endothelial dysfunction.Patients with MB and coronary artery spasm also showed classic clinical symptoms and positive stress tests for ischemia.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of intravitreal injection of monoclonal antibody in the treatment of patients with exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD).Methods Together 33 patients (33 eyes) with exudative AMD from February 2010 to May 2015 selected in this study were treated with intravitreal injection of ranibizumab,followed by examination of the best corrected visual acuity before and after surgery by international standard logarithmic visual acuity chart.The differences in ophthalmic artery (OA),central retinal artery (CRA) and ciliary artery hemodynamic parameters before and after operation were compared,and fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) was used to measure and calculate the changes in choroidal neovascularization (CNV) fluorescein leakage area before and after operation.Results The best corrected visual acuity was significantly improved 1 week after operation when compared with preoperative data [(0.29 ± 0.18) vs.(0.16 ± 0.15)],with significant difference (P =0.002).And 7 days after operation,the area of CNV fluorescein leakage was less than that of postoperative data [(8.48 ± 6.13)mm2 vs.(11.39 ± 6.12)mm2],and the difference was statistically significant (P =0.029).However,there was no difference in OA,CRA,the peak systolic velocity (PSV),end diastolic blood flow velocity (EDV)and resistance index (RI),pulsatility index (PI) in the treatment eyes between before operation and 1,4 weeks after operation (all P ＞ 0.05).Conelusion Intravitreal injection of ranibizumab in the treatment of exudative AMD is safe and effective and can effectively improve the visual acuity and alleviate CNV leakage,without adveme effects on patients' hemodynamics.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of one dressing of porcine acellular dermal matrix on deep partial thickness burns.

METHODSFrom January 1997 to January 2004, sixty-seven cases of deep partial thickness total burned surface area (TBSA) from 50% to 90% burn wound were treated by a single dressing of porcine acellular dermal matrix (the porcine acellular dermal matrix group). Ten cases of deep partial thickness burned patients with the same TBSA treated by exposure method served as the exposure method group. The healing time of the wound was observed. The patients were followed up for 3 months to 2 years, and the scar proliferation was observed.

RESULTSThe deep partial-thickness wound would be healed without dressing change in the porcine acellular dermal matrix group, and the average healing time was (12.2 +/- 2.6) days. The average healing time of the exposure method group was (27.4 +/- 3.5) days. Follow up of the patients within 3 months to 2 years showed that scar proliferation in the porcine acellular dermal matrix group was much less than that in the exposure method group, even no scar proliferation was observed in some patients.

CONCLUSIONWithout tangential excision, autografting and dressing change, a single dressing of porcine acellular dermal matrix on deep partial thickness burn wound could shorten the healing time and inhibit scar proliferation.

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are essential parts of tumor stroma. Fibroblast activation protein (FAP), overexpressed in CAFs, is closely related to tumor growth, invasion, metastasis, immunosuppression and prognosis, which is a vital target for tumor targeted diagnosis and therapy. In recent years, a variety of new radiolabeled quinoline-based FAP inhibitors (FAPIs) have been used for tumor targeted diagnostic and therapeutic research. A number of studies have confirmed that radiolabeled FAPIs plays an important role in tumor diagnosis, staging and treatment, which have a good clinical application prospect. This review summarizes the research status of radiolabeled FAPIs and discusses their potential in the accurate diagnosis and therapy of tumors.
