International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2017;39(1):26-28
Objective To observe the effect ofXuebijing injection on vascular endothelial function and inflammatory factor in the patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD).Methods A total of 100 patients with AECOPD were randomly divided into the study and control groups, 50 patients in each group. The control group were given the conventional therapy. The study group were given the Xuebijing injection on the basis of the control group. Both The changes of lung function, vascular endothelial function and inflammatory factor were observed.Results The expression of FVC (3.23 ± 0.83 Lvs. 2.79 ± 0.71 L,t=1.786), PEF (5.36 ± 0.51 L/svs. 4.79 ± 0.46 L/s,t=1.904), FEV1/FVC (59.21 ± 4.38vs. 54.94 ± 4.29,t=1.882), NO (3.84 ± 0.81 ng/mlvs.2.97 ± 0.62 ng/ml,t=1.869) increased significantly in the study group than those in the control group after treatenmt (P<0.05). The VEGF (0.14 ± 0.04 ng/ml vs.0.17 ± 0.05 ng/ml, t=2.097), TNF-a (0.11 ± 0.03 ng/ml vs.0.14 ± 0.02 ng/ml,t=1.903), IL-13 (107.27 ± 44.37 ng/mlvs. 136.54 ± 48.32 ng/ml,t=2.005) in the study group decreased significantly than those in the control group (P<0.05). ConclusionsXuebijing injection could significantly decrease inflammatory factor,and obviously improve vascular endothelial function and lung function,the clinical curative effect is distinct.

objective To determine the existence of virulence-associated invA gene in different genospeeies of Leptospira interrogans reference strains in China.and to understand the alterations of invA gene transcription and expression of L.interrogans strain Lai before or after infecting cells.Methods PCR was applied to detect the invA gene of four L.interrogans strains belonging to four different genospecies and L.biflexa strain Patoc Ⅰ.The entire invA genes from the L.interrogans strains were cloned and then sequenced.The prokaryotic expression system of invA gene of L.interrogans serogroup Icterohaemorrhagiae serovar Lai strain Lai was constructed.Using Ni-NTA affinity chromatography,the target recombinant protein rInvA was extracted and purified.Rabbits were immunized with rInvA to obtain antiserum and the titer of antiserum was determined by immunodiffusion test.A model of L interrogans strain Lai infecting human embryo kidney cell line HEK293 was established to detect the alterations of invA gene transcription and expression of the leptospiral strain before or after infecting the host cells by real-time fluorescent quantitative RTPCR and western blot assay.Results All the four tested L.interrogans strains had invA gene whereas L.biflexa strain Patoc Ⅰ not.The similarity of nucleotide and putative amino acid sequences of invA genes from the four L.interrogans strains belonging four different genospecies were 99.33%-100%and 98.66%-100%,respectively.The constructed prokaryotic expression system could efficiently express rInvA and the immunodiffusion titer of rabbit anti-rInvA serum was 1:16.After L.interrogans strain Lai infecting HEK293 cells for 30 min or above,the microbe could adhere the surface of the cells.On the 30 min after the infection,the mRNA level of invA gene of L.interrogans strain Lai was remarkably upregulated,and on the 45 min after infection the mRNA level presented a peak value and then graduated decreased.On the 45 min or 60 min after L.interrogans strain Lai infecting HEK293 cells,InvA protein could be detectable but before infection or after infection for over 90 min the InvA protein expression was negative.Conclusion The invA gene is a unique gene for pathogenic L.interrogans.The invA gene of L interrogans has characteristics of cell-touched expression and transient expression,which may have a close correlation with adhering and invading host cells.

With citric acid as carbon source and different amino acids as nitrogen source,the nitrogen-doped carbon was synthesized by one-step hydrothermal method under the condition of no catalyst.The pre-experiments show that arginine-doped carbon dots(CDs-Arg) with relatively high fluorescence quantum yield (33.25%) were picked out for further study.Furthermore,we studied the physical and chemical properties of CDs-Arg through a series of spectral,electric potential,particle size,X ray and elemental analysis experiments.At the same time,the stabilities of the nanoparticles towards different pH,temperatures,excitation lasers or redox conditions were studied.And the MTr and in vivo distribution experiments were also conducted for the toxicity and metabolism studies.The experimental results showed that the arginine doped carbon dots has high fluorescence efficiency,good stability,and extremely low toxicity.And the water-soluble small particles of CDs-Arg nanoparticles showed that the nanoparticles can be excreted through the glomerulus.These results show that the CDs-Arg Nanoparticles are biocompatible nanoparticles and have potential applications in biological imaging and can serve as a monitor of drug metabolism.

Objective To evaluate the methods and efficacy of interventional treatment for subclavian arterial stenosis or occlusion retrospectively. Methods From Oct 2003 to Sop 2009,25 patients with subclavian arterial lesions , including stenosis in 13 cases and occlusion in 12 cases, underwent interventional treatment. Four patients received percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) alone, and concurrent 22 stents placement were performed in 20 cases. Results The technical success rate in stenotic lesions was 100% and in occluded lesions was 91.6% with a interventional failure in 1 case. Blood pressure increased significantly after interventional treatment. The diseased side/healthy side blood pressure index increased from 0.60 ±0.11 mm Hg preoperatively to (0.95 ±0.12) mm Hg postoperatively( t = 10.53 ,P <0.01 ). Clinical symptoms improved, and there were no complications with strokes and embolism. 20 cases were followed up for 30 months ( from 2 months to 69 months ). Restenosis was found in 2 cases and the restenosis rate was 8.3%. The cumulative primary patency rate was 92.5% and 81.3% at 1 and 3 years,respectively. Conclusions Intervention was a less invasive and safe, effective treatment for subclavian arterial lesions.

Objective To investigate the rationality and safety of dengzhanxixin injection used in elderly inpatients. Methods The clinical data of 986 inpatients including 620 males and 366 females were collected, and questionnaires containing age, sex, discharge diagnosis, symptoms, drug dosage, course of treatment, laboratory examination, adverse drug reaction and drug effect were analyzed. Results For the 986 cases, the average age was(74.3±7.5)years. The average dose of dengzhanxixin injection was (38.2±4.4) ml, once daily by intravenous drip, and the average period of treatment was (10.8±5.2) days. The adverse reaction rate was 0.81%. The levels of blood glucose and hemoglobin were decreased after treatment(t orμ=1226.5,2620.0, both P<0.05), but there were no statistical differences in the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), creatinine (CREA), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and white blood cell count (WBC) before and after treatment (t or μ=122.5, 405.0, 513.5, 996.5, 956.5, all P>0.05). Conclusions It is safe to use dengzhanxixin injection according to the medication description for elderly inpatients.

Objective To evaluate balloon angioplasty and stenting of the hepatic veins for the treatment of Budd-Chiari syndrome with long segmental inferior vena cava (IVC).Methods The hepatic veins were evaluated by colour Doppler,CT or MR.Epidiaphragmatic inferior vena cavography was performed to locate the stenused opening of the hepatic veins,in case of membrane occlusion of the hepatic veins,a puncture was attempted with Rups100 needle and then balloon dilation of the hepatic veins and stents implantation was carried out.Results In 40 cases of long segmental inferior vena cava ( IVC ) occlusive Budd-Chiari syndrome,membranous obstruction of the hepatic veins was found in 5 cases and short-segmental occlusion in 24 cases.28 cases were successfully treated with balloon dilation and stents implantation,including percutaneous transluminal angioplasty(PTA) of hepatic vein in 5 cases,and stent implantation in 23 cases,puncture procedure was failed in 1 case.Postoperative follow-up was made in 26 cases from 6 to 62 months ( mean,24.0 ± 1.3 months ).Symptoms recurred in 6 cases.Hepatic vein restenosis or occlusion were observed using color Doppler ultrasound in 6 cases.Conclusions Most lesions in hepatic veins were membranous obstruction or short-segmental occlusion among patients with long-segmental occlusion of IVC.Balloon angioplasty and stenting of hepatic veins for long segmental IVC occlusive Budd-Chiari syndrome through jugular vein can relieve hepatic venous obstruction and relieve portal hypertension.
