OBJECTIVETo assess the value of pulsed Doppler tissue imaging (PW-DTI) in evaluating the left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM).

METHODSSeventy-seven type 2 diabetic patients and 43 healthy volunteers underwent PW-DTI and mitral inflow pulsed wave Doppler (MPWD). Six positions of the mitral annulus were measured by PW-DTI for early diastolic velocity (Em), end diastolic velocity (Am), Em/Am ratio. Early mitral inflow velocity (E), end mitral inflow velocity (A), left ventricular isovolumetric relaxation (IVRT) and E/A ratio were measured by MPWD.

RESULTSIn the diabetic patients, Em, Em/Am and E/A ratios were significantly decreased and Am and A increased with prolonged IVRT. The two examination modalities showed a significant correlation between Em/Am and E/A. The detection rate of LVDD in the diabetic group was 94.81% by PW-DTI and 79.22% by MPWD.

CONCLUSIONPW-DTI and MPWD show a significant correlation in assessment of the left ventricular filling, but the former displays better performance in sensitive and accurate diastolic function evaluation and provides early evidence for of diabetic cardiomyopathy of due to its potent ability in differentiation of false-normal presentations.

Abstract: Total RNA was isolated from Siraitia grosvenorii fruit by the method of modified Trizol, according to S. grosvenorii fruit characteristics of rich phenols, polysaccharide, oil and proteins. The OD260/280, OD260/230, RNA integrity (RIN) and yield of the total RNA with this method were 2.01, 2.02, 9.50 and 260 mirog.g-1, respectively. The open reading frame (ORF) of dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), named as SgDHAR, was cloned by rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) and RT-PCR method from S. grosvenorii. The GenBank accession number for this gene is KC907731. The SgDHAR gene contains a full-length cDNA of 1,252 bp including ORF of 819 bp and encodes a predicted protein of 272 amino acids. The molecular mass is 30.217 7 kD and the isoelectric point is 8.76. Homology comparison showed that it shared 87% nucleotide sequence homology with Cucumis sativus. Expression patterns using qRT-PCR analysis showed that SgDHAR was mainly expressed in fruit and stem, followed by flower, and was lowest in root, while the expression level was 6.83 times in triploid. T than that in diploid. Therefore, SgDHAR gene may be involved in abortion of triploid seedless S. grosvenorii.

Objective:To explore the mechanism of the prescription consisting Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata and Epimedii Folium in the treatment of chronic heart failure （CHF） based on network pharmacology，followed by verification in H9c2 myocardial cells with hypoxia-reoxygenation injury in vitro and in zebrafish with vascular endothelial growth factor receptor （VEGFR） tyrosine kinase inhibitor Ⅱ （VRI） -induced vascular insufficiency. Method:The active ingredients in Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata and Epimedii Folium were searched from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform （TCMSP），the corresponding target genes from the Universal Protein Resource （UniProt）， and the CHF-related targets from Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man （OMIM） and GeneCards. Both the active ingredient-potential target network and the active ingredient-CHF-related target network were generated using Cytoscape 3.6.1， followed by the protein-protein interaction （PPI） network construction and Gene Ontology （GO） and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genome （KEGG） enrichment analysis based on MetaScape. H9c2 myocardial cells exposed to hypoxia-reoxygenation were selected for determining the proliferation-promoting effect by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium （MTT） assay. The protein expression of B-cell lymphoma-2（Bcl-2）， Bcl-2-associated X protein（Bax），cysteinyl aspartate-specific protease-3（Caspase-3）， protein kinase B（PKB/Akt），phosphorylated protein kinase B（p-Akt），phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 （p-ERK1/2），extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 （ERK1/2）， and poly adenosine diphosphate ribose polymerase（PARP）was detected by Western blotting. The efficacy of the prescription in promoting angiogenesis was verified in a zebrafish model of VRI-induced vascular injury. Result:There were 28 active ingredients for the prescription， 209 corresponding targets， 1 296 CHF-related targets， and 94 common gene targets shared by the prescription and CHF. PPI network clustering suggested that Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata and Epimedii Folium alleviated CHF by interfering with cell differentiation and metabolism and angiogenesis. GO analysis revealed that CHF relief was achieved via the intervention in such biological processes as cell migration，vascular development， and angiogenesis. Pharmacodynamic experiments verified that Epimedii Folium （10 mg·L^-1） alone and the prescription （10 mg·L^-1）both enhanced the proliferation of H9c2 myocardial cells under the hypoxia-reoxygenation condition （P<0.05），while the latter also increased the expression of Bcl-2，Bcl-2/Bax， and PARP （P<0.05） and reduced the expression of Caspase-3， Akt， and ERK （P<0.05）. The prescription at the concentrations of 0.3 and 0.1 g·L^-1 promoted angiogenesis （P<0.05）. Conclusion:Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata and Epimedii Folium exert the therapeutic effect against CHF via multiple ingredients，multiple targets， and multiple channels. Such combination promotes the proliferation of H9c2 myocardial cells under hypoxic condition and protects zebrafish from vascular injury by up-regulating the expression of Bcl-2 and PARP，increasing Bcl-2/Bax ratio，and down-regulating the expression of Caspase-3，Akt， and ERK.

Objective::To observe the effect of Jianpi Qingchang decoction on hormone withdrawal in patients with hormone-dependent spleen deficiency damp-heat ulcerative colitis. Method::The 60 patients with hormone-dependent ulcerative colitis with spleen deficiency and damp-heat were selected and collected from the outpatient department and the inpatient department of Longhua Hospital, Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) between April 1, 2012 and January 31, 2014.All of patients in two groups were treated with standard hormone reduction method. The control group was given orally Bupi Yichang pills, 6 g/time, 3 times/day, and the experimental group was given orally Jianpi Qingchang recipe, 300 mL water decoction, 1 dose/d, 2 times/d. All of the patients received continuous treatment for 3 months. After treatment, disease activity index, mucosal healing evaluation, curative effect changes of TCM syndromes and changes of inflammatory factors in the two groups were observed. Result::Compared with before treatment, the two groups of Mayo scores after treatment were significantly reduced (P<0.01), and the experimental group was reduced more significantly than the control group (P<0.01). After treatment, 66.67%of patients in experimental group were in remission, and 13.33%of patients in control group were in remission, with statistically significant differences between two groups (P<0.01). After treatment, the healing rate of the control group was 46.67%, while that of the experimental group was 70.0%, with statistically significant differences (P<0.01). After treatment, the effective rate of TCM syndromes in control group was 80.0%, while that in experimental group was 96.67%, with statistically significant differences (P<0.01). Compared with control group before treatment, the levels of IL-1 in both groups were decreased (P<0.05), while the levels of IL-6 and IL-10 were increased (P<0.05). Compared with control group after treatment, the changes in experimental group were significantly better than those in control group (P<0.05). Conclusion::Jianpi Qingchang decoction can reduce the index of disease activity in patients with hormone-dependent ulcerative colitis due to spleen deficiency and dampness-heat, promote mucosal healing and improve the curative effect of TCM symptoms, and thus is worthy of clinical promotion.
