Objective To establish the differentiation standard of stasis-heat TCM syndrome. Methods With Delphi statistics method, the expert questionnaire of diagnosis and treatment on stasis-heat TCM syndrome was worked out on the basis of literature research, and sent to more than 30 experts in two rounds. The investigation results and the suggestion of experts were analyzed. Results The recede effective questionnaire amount was 32 and 31 respectively in two rounds. The positive coefficient was 94% and 97% respectively. According to the investigation results, the standard of syndrome differentiation of stasis-heat syndrome was made. The suggestions from experts were about the same. The clinical manifestations of stasis-heat syndrome includes fever, bleeding, pain, abnormal mind, specific manifestations on skin, complexion, tongue and pulse, etc. The main points of syndrome differentiation are deep red tongue, red and blue purple choroides, crimson face, florid bleeding or bleeding with dark purple blood clots, and red purple tongue. Conclusion Differentiation standard of stasis-heat TCM syndrome formulated by Delphi statistics method conform to the thinking of TCM syndrome differentiation. The researchresults gave prominence to the pathogenesis characteristics of stasis-heat TCM syndrome and played a part in gathering expert consensus.

Objective To investigate the significance of T-bet and GATA-3 in the pathogenesis of pityriasis rosea.Methods SYBR Green Ⅰ real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was performed to detect the expressions of T-bet and GATA-3 mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 17 patients with pityriasis rosea and 20 normal human controls.Results The average delta Ct value of T-bet mRNA and GATA-3 mRNA was 3.33 ± 0.94 and 5.22 ± 0.69 respectively in the patients,4.31 ± 1.11 and 4.36 ± 1.02respectively in the controls.There was a higher expression of T-bet mRNA but a lower expression of GATA-3 mRNA in the patients compared with the controls (both P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Patients with pityriasis rosea show an increased ratio of T-bet to GATA3 expression and predominant expression of Th1-type cytokines.Abnormal cellular immunity may play an important role in the pathogenesis of pityriasis rosea.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) on cardiomyocyte apoptosis following renal ischemia-reperfusion injury(RIRI) in rats.MethodsThirty-six male SD rats weighing 250-280 g were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n =12 each): group sham operation (group S) ; group I/R and group I/R + ALA ( group L).The model of RIRI was produced by occlusion of renal artery and vein for 45 min followed by 24 h reperfusion,in group S the renal pedicles were exposed but not occluded.In group L ALA infusion (30 mg/kg) was given via tail vein at 20 mln before ischemia and at 20 min before reperfusion,while in group I/R the equal volume of solution (35％ polyethylene glycol + 60％ physiological saline + 5％ ethanol) was infused instead of ALA.The animals were saerificed at the end of 24 h of reperfusion,blood samples were taken for detecting concentrations of serum creatinine (Cr) and malondialdehyde (MDA).Then the hearts were immediately removed for determination of SOD activity,MDA content,cardiomyocyte apoptosis (flow cytometry) and Bcl-2/Bax ratio (immunohistology).ResultsSerum Cr concentration,serum and myocardium MDA levels and cardiomyocyte apoptosis were significantly increased after RIRI in groups I/R and L as compared with group S ( P ＜ 0.05).ALA treatment significantly decreased serum Cr concentration,serum and myocardium MDA levels,cardiomyocyte apoptosis and increased SOD activity and Bcl-2/Bax ratio ( P ＜ 0.05).ConclusionALA can attenuate myocardium injury by inhibiting cardiomyocyte apoptosis following RIRI in rats.

Protein corona is a protein layer that adsorbs on the surface after nonspecific interactions between nanoparticles and plasma proteins.In recent years, studies have shown that modification of specific plasma proteins on the surface of nanoparticles to construct protein corona can prolong the blood half-life of nanoparticles and promote the targeted delivery of nanoparticles, which has attracted widespread attention to the study of drug-carrying systems, among which, albumin corona, the most abundant protein in blood, is the most widely studied.Based on the above, this paper systematically summarized the method of constructing albumin corona and its application in the research on pharmaceutical preparations, in order to provide reference for the construction of albumin corona in the process of drug preparation.
