Objective To evaluate the methodological quality of clinical trials on Chinese medicine interventional chemothera-py induced gastrointestinal toxic reactions from 2000 to 2014.Methods The randomized controlled trials(RCT)and semi-RCT on Chinese medicine interventional chemotherapy induced gastrointestinal toxic reactions were retrieved from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI),Wanfang databases,VIP,China Biology Medicine Database (CBM)and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)database by computer and supplemented by the manual retrieval (January 2000 to December 2014).The methodo-logical quality assessment on the included RCT and semi-RCT was conducted by using the Cochrane risk assessment table of bias. Results 291 articles were finally screened out,only 76 of RCT and semi-RCT were conformed to the at least one of low risk stand-ards of Cochrane risk assessment table of bias.Therefore the total methodological quality was not good enough.Conclusion The publishing of clinical trials on Chinese medicine interventional chemotherapy induced gastrointestinal toxic reactions shows the in-creasing trend year by year during the past 14 years.However,the different defects exist in the overall trial design.

AIM:To explore the role of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR) in anti-inflammation of glucocorticoids (GCs) at physiological concentrations .METHODS: MTT assay was used to measure the viability of BV-2 cells, which were processed by hydrocortisone at different concentrations .On the basis of inflammatory model induced by LPS in BV-2 cells, experimental groups were divided as follows:(1) control;(2) LPS;(3) GCs+LPS;(4) methyl-lycaconitine ( MLA)+GCs+LPS.The levels of TNF-αand IL-1βin the cell supernatants were detected by ELISA .RE-SULTS:Hydrocortisone at concentrations of 2 000 and 1 000 nmol/L decreased the cell viability to (76.9 ±5.5)% and (90.8 ±7.3)%, respectively, indicating the cellular injury by GCs at over-physiological doses.LPS significantly induced the releases of TNF-αand IL-1βin a time-and dose-dependent manner in BV-2 cells.Hydrocortisone at physiological con-centrations (500 and 250 nmol/L) reduced the releases of TNF-αand IL-1βin BV-2 cells stimulated by LPS, and MLA at concentration of 10 nmol/L antagonized the anti-inflammatory effect of GCs .CONCLUSION:α7nAChR is involved in the anti-inflammatory effect of the physiological concentrations of GCs .

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and diagnosis of primary small intestinal tumor(PSIT). Methods Retrospective analysis of the clinical and pathological data of the 31 PSIT cases was made. Results Duodenum was the most common site 67.74% for PSIT. The confirmed diagnosis rate was 54.84%(17/31)(duodenum was 66.67%,14/21; ileum and jejunum was 30%, 3/10, respectively ). 3 cases were benign tumors and 28 were malignant tumors.The adenocarcinoma was the most frequently seen malignant PSIT followed by lymphoma and often in duodenal. The features of the small intestinal tumor could be abdominal pain,abdominal mass,hemorrhage,obstruction,jaundice and fever.The chief method for diagnose was barium meal X-ray examination, especially with the hypotonic contrast X-ray examination and endoscopy.Superior mesenteric arteriography sometimes helped in determing site of gastrointestinal haemorrhage. CT scan could be helpful in diagnosis. Conclusion Duodenal adenocarcinoma is most common PSIT,followed by malignant lymphoma.Endoscopy is the best way to find out the tumor located in duodenum and hypotonic contrast X-ray examination is effective in diagnosis and locating of small bowl tumors.Superior mesenteric arteriography is a good way to find out angioma and leiomyoma. CT scanning are also helpful.

Aim To observe the effect of metformin(MF)on inhibinB,activinA and follistatin in rat of polycystic ovary(PCO),analyzing the possible therapeutic mechanism and therapeutical effect from ovaries local cytokine.Methods The PCO rat models were set by insulin combined with human chorionic gonadotrophin(HCG).The levels of serum gonadal hormone and insulin(INS)were detected by radioimmunoassay.Using the sandwich ELISA technique the expressed level of serum inhibinB(INHB),activinA(ACTA)and follistatin(FS)was detected.Results Metformin could decrease the level of testosterone(T),luteotropic hormone(LH)and INS in rat serum,but it increased the level of ACTA in rat serum and the rate of ACTA/INHB.There was negative correlation between INS and ACTA,and positive correlation between INS and INHB.Conclusion MF can regulate the expression of ovaries local cytokines such as INHB,ACTA and FS.

Objective To investigate the relevant factors of hyperthyroidism complicating hyperthyroid heart disease.Method Among 48 cases,those factors including age,course of disease,condition and regular treatment were analyzed with Logistic multiple factor reg-ression analysis.Result The hyperthyroid heart disases was related with age,course of disease,condition and whether to treat regularly.Conclusions There are many factors to lead to hyperthroidism complicating hyperthyroid heart disease.It should be paid attention to in those patients with elder,longer course of disease,serious condition and no regular treatment.

Objective To investigate the effect of Atorvastatin Combined Naoxintong Capsule treats to cerebral infarction and carotid atherosclerosis.Methods 134 patients with cerebral infarction and carotid atherosclerosis were diagnosed by MRI or CT scan.They were randomly divided into two groups.67 cases were given atorvastatin versus aspirin received routine treatment in the control group and 67 cases were used Naoxintong capsule in observation group on the basis of routine treatment in the observation group.The blood lipid,serum high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) level,neural function defect score (NIHSS),carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) were comperred before and after treatment in two groups for treated with 1 courses (6 months).Results The blood lipid had no significant difference between two groups before and after treatment (P ＜ 0.05).The IMT,NIHSS score of high sensitivity C-reactive protein levels had no significant difference in two groups before and after treatment (P ＜ 0.05).The scores of NIHSS,IMT,high sensitive C-reactive protein level respectively (10.08 ± 1.82) ％,(1.06 ± 0.13)mm,(3.89 ± 1.41) mg/L of observation group were more decreased significantly than the control group (respectively (13.92 ±2.01)％,(1.24 ±0.15)mm,(5.02 ± 1.52) mg/L after treatment.Conclusion Atorvastatin Combined Naoxintong Capsule in treatment of cerebral infarction and carotid artery gruel kind hardening shows good therapeutic effect,it is worth for clinical use.

Proteome is defined as all proteins expressed in a cell, a tissue or an organism. Proteomics, a science of understanding the life activity law at the whole protein level, takes proteome as a research object; it is also a scientific method for quantitative detection of one or more protein populations or proteomes in a cell or tissue. Cerebral ischemic preconditioning has been one of the research hotspots in the field of neuroscience for decades. Its neuroprotec-five mechanism is associated with the changes of protein expression levels after cerebral ischemia, Therefore, proteomics has become more and more important in its mechanism study. This article mainly presents the major techniques of proteomics and their application in the studies of cerebral ischemic preconditioning.
