1.Cardiovascular disease in postmenopausal women with polycystic ovary syndrome phenotype
Chinese Journal of Endocrine Surgery 2015;(5):411-414
Objective To explore cardiovascular disease in postmenopausal women with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS) phenotype.Methods This study was a prospective follow-up study which included subjects with PCOS phenotype admitted from Jan.1st, 2005 to Dec.31st, 2007 in Gynecology Department of Dongyang People's Hospital.These subjects were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of PCOS phe -notype and were followed .Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate survival rate .The survival difference be-tween the two groups was compared using the log-rank test.Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression was used to determine the independent risk factors of major adverse cardiac events ( MACE) .Results 11 patients in non-PCOS phenotype group had MACE , and 6 patients in PCOS phenotype group had MACE .PCOS phenotype group had a significantly decreased MACE-free survival(χ2 =4.957,P=0.026).Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that low level of HDL-C, presence of PCOS phenotype and high level of hs-CRP were independent predictors for MACE .Conclusion PCOS phenotype is an independent risk factor for car-diovascular disease in postmenopausal women , help to make further risk stratification and shows cardiovascular disease is closely related to PCOS .

OBJECTIVE:To explore the role of clinical pharmacists in the treatment of critical patients at perinatal stage. METHODS:During the treatment process of 4 critical patients at perinatal stage,according to the patients'special pathophysiolog-ic status (such as urea cycle disorder,dyslipidemia,severe infection,can not recover circulating blood volume rapidly,etc.), weighing the order of priority,based on relevant guidelines and literatures,clinical pharmacists provided individual medication ad-vices in respects of drug selection,medication timing,treatment course,drug combination and dosage adjustment,such as using cefuroxime,reduced glutathione,ursodesoxycholic acid,etc.,stopping drugs timely or adjusting antibiotics therapy plan. They al-so provided pharmaceutical care as lab index determination and ADR monitoring. RESULTS:Physicians adopted clinical pharma-cists'advices,and then 4 critical patients were all recovered. CONCLUSIONS:During the treatment course of critical patients at perinatal stage,clinical pharmacists should select safe and effective drugs as much as possible and adjust therapy plan in time ac-cording to clinical symptoms. When the security runs counter to effectiveness,clinical pharmacists should fully weigh the advantag-es and disadvantages and guarantee the maximum safety of pregnant or delivery women and fetuses.

The estrogen related receptor family member Esrrb (Estrogen related receptor β) is a gene that expresses in the early stage of embryo and plays an important role in the core pluripotent network. Its function has been analyzed in human and mouse, although no report so far related to pig. Therefore, to explore its mechanism of transcriptional regulation and expression pattern, we cloned a 3.3 kb pig ESRRB promoter by PCR and constructed the green fluorescence protein (GFP) reporter vector pE3.3. We used these vectors to study the ESRRB expression pattern in 293T, Hela and C2C12. Sequence was analyzed for regulatory elements that share homology to known transcription factor binding sites by TFSEARCH and JASPER program. Some pluripotency related genes such as SMAD, STAT3, MYC, KLF4 and ESRRB have been found within the 3.3 kb sequence by co-transfected pig ESRRB promoter and these potential regulators. We found that ESRRB only expressed in 293T and SMAD could activate ESRRB expression obviously. To determine the core promoter region, a series of ESRRB promoter fragments with gradually truncated 5'-end were produced by PCR and inserted into pGL3-Basic vector. After transient transfection into 293T, dual luciferase assay was used to measure these promoter activities. The result suggested that the core promoter of pig ESRRB located within -25 bp to -269 bp region. These results suggest that these transcription factor binding sites and the core promoter region may be essential for transcriptional regulation of pig ESRRB gene.

Objective To investigate the effects of p-cresol on human umbilical vein endothelial cells.Methods The effects of p-cresol on endothelial cell growth,cell cycle,cell morphological change and p21 protein were detected by the CCK-8 assay,flow cytometry assay,inverted microscope and Western blotting.Results P-cresol could inhibit the growth of human umbilical vein endothelial cells in dose-and time-dependent manners (all P < 0.05).The human umbilical vein endothelial cells treated with p-cresol became elongated processes,cloudy cytoplasm,and irregular shapes.The p-cresol stopped human umbilical vein endothelial cells at cell cycle G1 and had no effect on cell apoptosis.The p-cresol could increase protein expression of p21 in a dose dependent manner (P < 0.05).Conclusion P-cresol can increase protein expression of p21,induce cell cycle arrest at G1 stage and inhibit the proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells.

50 ms (PNN 50 ) and the high frequency (HF) in patients with EH were decreased, While the ratio between low frequency and high frequency (LF/HF) were increased. After the treatment of irbesartan, the values of SDNN, RMSSD, PNN 50 , and HF were increased, and the LF/HF was decreased significantly. CONCLUSION: Irbersartan can increase the lowed HRV in patients with EH, which improves the cardiovascular automatic function.
