2.Research progress of the negative effects of extracellular histone
Basic & Clinical Medicine 2017;37(4):576-579
Histones can be released into the extracellular space,and lead to lethal sepsis, ischemia reperfusion injury, trauma, pancreatitis, coagulation and thrombosis.In addition, the increase of serum histone is related to the pathological and pathophysiological process of autoimmune diseases, nervous system diseases and tumors.Therefore, extracellular histone can be used as biomarkers and therapeutic targets for a variety of human diseases.

Objective To realize job satisfaction of doctors from the secondary hospital and its influencing factors and put forward countermeasures for doctor job satisfaction.Methods 2066 doctors from the secondary hospital were investigated by self-made scale,and analyzed by analysis of variance,non-conditional logistic regression analysis and other methods.Results The average score of total job satisfaction of doctors was (3.44±0.95),in which about 57.6% of doctors expressed satisfaction with the current work.The scale of job itself satisfaction had the hisheet score,that was (3.91±0.79),while the scale of job retum satisfaction had the lowest score,that was (2.85±1.16).Leadership behavior played the most decisive role in doctors job satisfaction(sβ=0.7,P<0.01).Condusion The total job satisfaction of secondary hospital doctors is just above the average and doctors are most dissatisfied with the work concentrated in the areas of return and the practice environment.

7.Adjunctive treatment of axial undifferentiated spondyloarthritis by Qiangji Recipe: a clinical study.
Chinese Journal of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine 2015;35(1):37-40
OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Qiangji Recipe (QR) in ad- junctive treatment of axial undifferentiated spondyloarthritis (axuSpA) through a four-week open study.
METHODSFifty-four axuSpA patients of Shen-deficiency Du-channel cold syndrome (SDDCS) in line with inclusive criteria were recruited and assigned to the treatment group and the control group according to random digit table, 27 in each group. Patients in the control group took Celecoxib Capsule (0.2 g each time, twice per day). Patients in the treatment group additionally took QR (consisting of Herba Epimedii 15 g, antler glue 15 g, Cibotium Barometz 15 g, eucommia bark 20 g, dipsacus asper 10 g, two toothed achyranthes root 15 g, drynaria 15 g, Taxillus Chinensis 20 g, ground beetle 10 g, scorpion 5 g, wild celery 10 g, notopterygium incisium 10 g, cow-fat seed 10 g, white mustard seed 6 g, and licorice root 6 g, one dose per day, twice daily). The therapeutic course for all was 4 weeks. The Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), the Bath AS Metrology Index (BASMI), total body pain and spinal pain, patient and physician global assessment on a four-point scale, the Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life (ASQoL), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured before and after 4 weeks of treatment. The primary end point in this study was the proportion of patients with a 20%improvement response accord- ing to the ASAS International Working Group Criteria (ASAS 20 responders) at week 4.
RESULTSTotally 50 patients completed this trial, 26 in the treatment group and 24 in the control group. Improvement of BASDAI, BASFI, BASMI, ASQoL, ESR, and CRP was shown in both groups after treatment. Better effect was shown in the treatment group in all indices except ESR and BASMI after treatment (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Twenty cases (accounting for 76.92%) in the treatment group achieved ASAS 20 response at week 4, while 12 cases (accounting for 50.00%) in the control group achieved ASAS 20 response at week 4 (P < 0.05). No obvious adverse reaction occurred in the two groups.
CONCLUSIONQR combined Celecoxib Capsule showed better effect in treating axuSpA patients than using Celecoxib Capsule alone.

8. Quantitative analysis of multi-components with single marker for determination of alkaloids in Phellodendri amurensis cortex
Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs 2011;42(6):1093-1096
Objective: To establish an HPLC method for simultaneously measuring the content of berberine, palmatine, and jatrorrhizine in Phellodendri Amurensis Cortex, and on this basis, the multiple components were examined by way of using a single test to validate the method's feasibility and technical suitability of quality control applications for Phellodendri Amurensis Cortex. Methods: Taking berberine, the main component in Phellodendri Amurensis Cortex, as an indicator, a relative correction factor between berberine and palmatine as well as jatrorrhizine was established. Then the correction factor was used to calculate the content of the other two in Phellodendri Amurensis Cortex. In this way, the calculated value was compared with the external standard method. Results: A measuring method of evaluating the three alkaloids in Phellodendri Amurensis Cortex was established via using a single test; There was no significant difference compared with the external standard method. Conclusion: The method for simultaneously measuring the content of berberine, palmatine, and jatrorrhizine in Phellodendri Amurensis Cortex is reliable and accurate, it could be used to control the quality of crude drugs and herbal pieces of Phellodendri Amurensis Cortex.

Aim To apply simple combined models to screen small molecule BDNF-like compounds for potential pharmacotherapy of central nerve degenerative diseases.Methods BDNF-like bioactivities were dentified with effects against apoptosis induced by serum withdrawal in turn in cultured human SH-SY5y cells,rat NIH3T3/trkB cells vs NIH3T3 cells,using MTT technique.Results More than 400 compounds were tested by using these methods.11 of them presented protective effects on apoptosis induced by serum withdrawal in SH-SY5y cells.2 of them also provided selective protection against apoptosis induced in NIH3T3/trkB cells versus in NIH3T3 cells,which were identified as BDNF-like compounds.Further study showed that these 2 compounds could withstand SH-SY5y cell injuries induced by 6-OHDA.Conclusion All the above studies provide a useful series of simple models for BDNF-like drug screen and some compound candidates for further study of neuroprotection.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic values of MRA,TCD and ultrasonography in carotid territory transient ischemic attacks (TIAs). Methods 42 patients with carotid territory TIAs were examined by MRA, TCD and ultrasonography. Results MRA showed abnormalities of carotid arteries in 12 cases (28.6%) and abnormalities of intracranial arteries in 32 cases (76.2%). 8 cases presented abnormalities both in carotid arteries and intracranial arteries. Abnormalities of intracranial arteries were detected by TCD in 30 cases (71.4%) and abnormalities of carotid arteries were detected by ultrasonography in 16 cases (38.1%).Conclusion MRA, TCD and ultrasonography are useful in the evaluation of etiological factors of carotid territory TIAs.
