OBJECTIVE:To study the pharmacokinetics of triptolide in Tripterygium glycosides tablet in normal rats and adju-vant arthritis model rats in vivo,and provide reference for clinical rational drug use. METHODS:12 SD rats were randomly divid-ed into normal group and model group,6 in each group. Model group was subcutaneously injected complete Freund's adjuvant 0.1 mL to induce adjuvant arthritis model,normal group was subcutaneously injected the same volume of saline. After 14 d model-ing,2 groups were given Tripterygium glycosides tablet suspension 96 mg/kg intragastrically,the blood sample of eyes 0.4 mL were respectively taken before and 10,30,45,60,90,120,150,180,240,300,420 min after administration. The plasma con-centration of triptolide was determined by HPLC,the pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by DAS 2.0 software,and the parameters were compared. RESULTS:The pharmacokinetic parameters of triptolide in normal group were cmax of(1.139±0.114)μg/mL,tmax of(2.167±0.606)h,t1/2α of(5.500±3.610)h,AUC0-7 h of(5.052±0.371)μg·h/mL,MRT0-7 h of(3.224±0.119)h, and CL of(11.616±2.986)mL/h;and those in model group were cmax of(0.916±0.103)μg/mL,tmax of(3.083±0.801)h,t1/2αof(5.593±1.795)h,AUC0-7 h of(4.707±0.347)μg·h/mL,MRT0-7 h of(3.429±0.139)h,and CL of(11.246±2.638) mL/h. Compared with normal group,cmax in model group was significantly decreased,tmax and MRT0-7 h were significantly prolonged(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Adjuvant arthritis can affect the pharmacokinetics of triptolide in rats in vivo,and promote its absorption and removal.

Objective: To evaluate the predictive value of plasma amino-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) on short term prognosis in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods: Plasma NT-proBNP levels were measured in ACS patients within 24 h after admission with ELISA method. The 600 ACS patients were divided into two groups: event group （n=108）and no-event group （n=492）according to occurrence of cardiovascular events（including cardiac death, cardiac shock and heart failure）, The NT-proBNP levels were compared between two groups. Single factor and multiple factor Logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate if NT-proBNP was an independent predictor for short term prognosis. Results: The plasma NT-proBNP levels of event group were significantly higher than those of no-event group [1361.2 (965.3, 2088.6) pmol/L vs.605.7 (274.5, 1177.8) pmol/L, p<0.01]. Multiple factor Logistic regression analyses demonstrated that plasma NT-proBNP was an independent predictor for short term prognosis (OR=1.000, p<0.01) in ACS patients. Conclusion: Plasma NT-proBNP was an independent predictor for short term prognosis in ACS patients.

Aim To study of the expression and distribution of four α-synuclein truncations in three cells.Method Four α-synuclein gene truncations were obtained by PCR method,followed by subcloning into the pEGFP-N1 eukaryotic expression vector.Four obtained recombination plasmids were transfected into MN9D cells,PC12 cells and SH-SY5Y cells using Lipofectamine 2000 respectively.The expression and distribution of four α-synuclein truncations were observed by Confocal.Results Distribution of four α-synuclein truncations was discrepant obviously,the truncations,with more C terminal remained,were prone to emerging in nuclei.Conclusion Localization of α-synuclein protein in cells may be related to the C terminal,and the whole C terminal plays an important role in distribution of α-synuclein into nuclei.

A total of 22 complete and clear results were extracted and combined to form eight new categories, which were integrated into three results, namely, family caregivers facing personal development limitations and various family difficulties, experiencing complex and chaotic emotional experiences, and craving for diversified care support.Conclusions:Nursing staff should pay attention to the impact of ALS on their patient's family caregivers, provide caregiver knowledge and skill guidance, promote positive emotional experiences, and offer diversified care support to improve the quality of life of patients and family caregivers.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of tetrandrine (Tet) on the expression of bax, bcl-2, and transforming growth factor-β2 (TGF-β2) mRNA in cultured human fibroblasts of Tenon's capsules (TCFS) and explore its possible mechanism.

METHODSThe third passage of TCFS cultured in vitro were exposed to 1×10(-5) mol/L Tet for 24 h, and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the changes in the expressions of bax, bcl-2, and TGF-β2 mRNA.

RESULTSThe expression level of bax mRNA was obviously higher, while bcl-2 and TGF-β2 mRNA levels were significantly lower in Tet-treated TCFS than those in the control cells (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONTet can inhibit the proliferation of TCFS possibly by reducing the expressions of bcl-2 and TGF-β2 mRNA, enhancing the expression of bax mRNA and inducing cell apoptosis, suggesting its potential in preventing fibrous scar formation after glaucoma filtration surgery.
