Objective To investigate the relation of the expressions of matrix metalloproteinase-2(MMP-2)and-9(MMP-9)with polymyositis/dermatomyositis(PM/DM).Methods Blood samples were obtained from 8 patients with PM,12 patients with DM and 10 normal human controls.Real-time quantitative RT-PCR and Western-blot were applied to examine the mRNA and protein expressions of MMP-2 and MMP-9 respectively in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC)of these patients.Results The mRNA expression levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in the PBMC of patients with PM or DM were 2.41 and 1.66 folds as high as those of the normal controls,respectively;these difierences were significant between the two groups.Increased expressions of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were also noted in the patients with PM or DM.Conclusion MMP-2 and MMP-9 may play a part in the development of polymyositis and dermatomyositis.

Objective To explore the changes of CRP,IL-6,and IL-10 levels after laparoscopic or open repair of inguinal hernia in children.Methods Fifty children with inguinal hernia were randomly assigned to laparoscopic repair or open surgery groups(25 in each).In the laparoscopic group(LS group),the hernia sac was closed by ligating the inner ring,while in the open surgery group(OS group),high ligation was performed.The peripheral blood samples of the two groups were collected one day before,immediately after,and one day after the operations.ELISA was used to detect the levels of CRP,IL-6,and IL-10.Results In both the groups,the levels of CRP,IL-6,and IL-10 were significantly increased immediately after the surgeries(LS Group:q=8.508,11.307,and 22.111,P0.05),while in the OS group,the levels remained significantly higher(q=3.845,10.599,and 11.379,P

Objective To study the effect mechanism of neuroprotection of Sinomenine(Sin) on rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion(IR).Methods 80 Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group,IR group,Sin high-dose(60 mg/kg)group and Sin low-dose(30 mg/kg)group.The correlative dose of Sin were intraperitoneal injected in Sin high-dose and low-dose groups,respectively.30 min later,the IR models were made.After 24 h of IR,the volume of cerebral infarction(CI) and the change of cerebral pathology were observed by TTC and HE staining.The brain water content was investigated by dry and wet weight method.The expression of nuclear factor (NF)-?Bp65,intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 and the activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO) in the frontal and parietal cortex were detected by immunohistochemistry.Results Compared with IR group,the ischemic impairment in Sin high and low-dose groups were obviously lighter,even lighter in Sin high-dose group;the CI volumes and brain water content were significantly reduced;while,even lower in Sin high-dose group(all P

Elements, including experimental personnel, facili-ties, equipment, apparatus, technology and skills, are essential to carrying out pre-clinical reproductive toxicity research. As to a study , authenticity , normativity , scientificity and innovativeness guarantee the success. These four elements are independent of each other,but mutually supported. Authenticity and scientificity are the footstone and soul, respectively, for drug non-clinical re-productive toxicity research. Normativity guarantees authenticity and scientificity, and innovativeness relies on authenticity. Nor-mativity and scientificity ensure the reliability and dynamics of experimental results which perhaps is an effective way accessing innovation.

Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is the most fatal diseases in the world.The prevention and treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are both basic and clinical focus.Aspirin has been used as a prevention medicine in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases for over a century, which is the longest one in history.Aspirin use is estimated at 100 billion tablets annually as an analgesic, antipyretic and antiplatelet drugs.However, there are still many new findings about aspirin, such as aspirin resistance and aspirin hydrolase.This paper reviews the current research advances and future directions of aspirin in cardiovascular and cerebravascwlar diseases, mainly focuses on aspirin resistance and personalized medication.

Objectives To evaluate methods to diagnose Budd-Chiari syndrome with inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis.Methods 31 cases underwent phlebography, 28 cases received color Doppler sonography preoperatively. Radical thrombectomy was carried out in 28 cases. Results IVC thrombi was found by phlebography in 24 cases, and by color Doppler sonograhy in 25 cases. There was no intraoperative death, nor acute pulmonary embolism.All patients were discharged uneventfully. Follow-up of 6 to 80 months found recurrence in 3 cases.Conclusions Large or lateral thrombi can be easily diagnosed by phlebography. Fresh or floating thrombi often missed by phlebography could be rushed out by blood stream at the time IVC was incised.The thrombi adhered to the IVC wall could be taken out with large balloon catheter or manually.
