Objective The non intrusive ultrasound combined with western medicine in the treatment of chronic prostatitis prostate/research and analysis of the effect of chronic pelvic pain syndrome.Methods96 cases of chronic prostatitis patients who were treated in our hospital from September 2016 to were randomly divided into the observation group, the control group 1 and the control group2.The observation group was treated with western medicine in the treatment of non intrusive prostate ultrasound;1 patients in the control group were given a single non intrusive prostate ultrasound treatment;control group 2 given a single treatment with Chinese and Western medicine.The clinical symptoms and NIH-CPSI scores were evaluated before and after treatment in each group.ResultsComparison between groups of patients before treatment NIH-CPSI score, no significant difference;after treatment, the NIH-CPSI score has decreased, there are obvious differences (P<0.05);the patients in the observation group were decreased significantly, the total score before treatment (26.21±2.20), the total score after treatment (11.77±1.90), there are obvious the difference (P<0.05).The treatment groups were compared with the efficiency, the total efficiency of observation group was 93.75%, the control group of 1 patients with the total effective rate was 75%, the control group of 2 patients with the total effective rate was 68.75%, there was significant difference in the treatment effect, with statistical significance (P<0.05).ConclusionNon intrusive ultrasound combined with western medicine in the treatment of prostate in compared with non intrusive ultrasound therapy and Western medicine alone in the treatment of prostate, has more significant treatment effect, should strengthen the clinical application and promotion.

Objective To explore the effects of beraprost sodium (BPS) on angiotensin Ⅱ(AngⅡ)-induced podocyte apoptosis and the relationship between BPS and peroxisome proliferator activated receptor δ(PPARδ). Methods Differentiated mouse podocytes were exposed to AngⅡ, further treated with BPS (or GSK0660) for 24 h. Podocyte apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry and AnnexinV-FITC staining. Bax , Bcl-2 and PPARδ mRNA were assessed by RT-PCR. Results AngⅡ promoted podocyte apoptosis and Bax mRNA expression significantly, down-regulated Bcl-2 and inhibited PPARδ mRNA (P < 0.05). Conversely, treatment with BPS reduced AngⅡ-induced podocyte apoptosis and Bax mRNA expression and promoted Bcl-s expression significantly resulting in an increase of PPARδ mRNA expression (P < 0.05). With the inhibition of PPARδ, podocyte apoptosis and Bax mRNA expression increased while Bcl-2 mRNA expression reduced. Conclusion BPS can effectively reduce AngⅡ-induced podocyte apoptosis , which is associated with the activation of PPARδand regulation of Bcl-2/Bax mRNA expression.

Objectives:To explore the possibility of using experimental animal models as a new means for studying the pathogenesis and symptomatologic development of radiation-induced lung injury,and provide theoretical and experimental evidences for early prevention and treatment with the traditional Chinese medicine.Methods:80 female Wistar rats were divided randomly into the model group and control group with 40 rats in each group respectively.The rats in model group were anesthetized and fixed,and a 2cm?3cm area of the right lungs received 6mV X-ray radiation at 3Gy?2/w and a maximal 10/5w.Eight rats randomly selected from each group were sacrificed at the end of weeks of 3,5,8,12 and 26.Diagnostic techniques of TCM were employed to analyze symptomatological and developmental characteristics of TCM in radiation-induced lung injury during exposure by dynamic examination and comparison of living rats,gross lung samples and tissue sections.Results: Signs and symptoms including redness around nose and eyes,yellowish secretion,tachypnea,dry stool,lethargy,sluggishness, inactiveness were observed in model group in early stage of radiation exposure,which consistent with dominant heat in the interior and primordial qi exhaustion syndrome.Swollen lungs,bright redness on surface and red bleeding patches were observed in early stage of radiation;microscopic examination showed interstitial tissues,and readily visible congestion,hemorrhage and edema of pulmonary interstitial tissues,consistent with damaged blood collaterals by heat and blood escaping circulation syndrome.In the later stage of radiation exposure,the lungs showed dark appearance,apparent purple petechia,hard texture and poor elasticity.Microscopic examination showed remote hemorrhage foci,pulmonary capillary stasis or closure,and focal fibrotic clumps,consistent with obstruction of collaterals by blood stasis syndrome.No abnormal changes were observed in the control group.Conclusions:Animal experiments can redeem the clinical inadequacy of traditional inspection,auscultation and olfaction,interrogation and feeling pulse and palpation diagnostic techniques,modern pathological methods can be utilized to study symptomatology of traditional Chinese medicine.Symptomatological and developmental characteristics of'heat toxin impairment in radiation-induced lung injury characterized by heat damaging pulmonary collateral syndrome in early stage and pulmonary collateral stagnation syndrome in the advanced stage'can be revealed at living organism,gross lung sample and microscopic pulmonary tissue levels,thus providing theoretical basis for early prevention and treatment of radiation-induced lung injury using'cooling blood to remove apthogenic heat'.

The technique of liquisolid compress is a new technique developed in 1990s, which was considered to be the most promising technique to improve the dissolution of water-insoluble drugs. In this article, tanshinone II(A) and the extracts of the ester-solubility fractions were chosen as the model drugs to evaluate the effects of the liquisolid technique for enhancement of dissolution properties of tanshinone II(A). Several liquisolid tablets (LS) formulations containing different dosage of drugs and various liquid vehicle were pre-pared and for all the formulations, microcrystalline cellulose and silica were chosen as the carrier and coating materials to evaluate their flow properties, such as angle of repose, Carr's compressibility index and Hausner's ratio. The interaction between drug and excipients in prepared LS compacts were studied by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD). The dissolution curves of tanshinone II(A) from liquisolid compacts were investigated to determine the technique's effect in improving the dissolution of tanshinone II(A) and its impacting factors. According to the results, the dissolution increased with the rise in the dissolution of the liquid-phase solvent. The R-value and drug dosage can significantly affect the drug release, but with less impact on active fractions. This indicated that liquisolid technique is a promising alternative for improvement of dissolution property of water-soluble drugs, and can make a synergistic effect with other ester-soluble constituents and bettern improve the release of tanshinone II(A). Therefore, the technique of liquisolid compress will have a better development prospect in traditional Chinese medicines.

Objective To investigate the characteristic of P30o event-related potentials(ERP) of impulsive behavior in heroin addicts.Methods The Iowa gambling task (IGT) were performed by using the paradigm for psychological experiment both in heroin addiction group (HA group) and health control group (HC group),the inspection of electroencephalography were underwent in all the subjects concurrently.Following the collection of data of ERP,amplitude and latency of P300 were compared between the two groups,and then the relationship betweenamplitude or latency of P300 and the results of Barratt impulsiveness scale were analyzed separately.Results Compared to HC group,BIS score as well as the numbers of high frequency loss cards were significantly higher in HA group ( HA:75.12 ± 12.49,91.14 ± 21.35 ; HC:66.54 ± 8.61,73.71 ± 18.91 ; P ＜ 0.05 ),while the both two groups had visible waveforms of P30o,and the amplitude and latency were markedly lower ( HA:4.92 ± 1.14,293.43 ± 36.21 ; HC:7.65 ± 1.59,332.68 ± 40.15 ; P ＜ 0.05 ) and were negatively associated with BIS score in HA group( r =-0.76,-0.52,P＜ 0.05).Logistic regression results showed that the scores of BIS-11 were related to amplitude of P30o merely( P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion Impulsive behavior can be observed from the abnormal characteristic of the P300 event-related potential of impulsive behavior in heroin addicts,which may partly contribute to both addiction and relapse of heroin addict.

Objective To study the correlation between TCM differentiation of syndromes typing for ulcerative colitis (UC) and expressions of Bax and Caspase-3.Methods 50 patients with UC were divided into 2 groups according to TCM syndrome differentiation including dampness-heat internal accumulation syndrome group (25cases),deficiency of spleen and stomach syndrome group (25cases).Immunohistochemistry was used to study expression of Bax and Caspase-3 in colonic mucosas and compare with the normal group (25cases).Results The expressions of Bax were highest in dampness-heat internal accumulation syndrome group (4.56±1.58).The expressions of Bax of deficiency of spleen and stomach syndrome group were lower than dampness-heat internal accumulation syndrome group(3.28± 1.14)scores.There were significant differences between the three groups (P＜0.05).However,There were no significant difference between dampness-heat internal accumulation syndrome group and deficiency of spleen and stomach syndrome group in terms of the Caspase-3expressions (P＞0.05).In addition,Caspase-3 and Bax were positively related in each group(r=0.23and 0.21).Conclusion The high expressions of Bax,Caspase-3 in ulcerative colitis were closely related to TCM typing according to syndrome differentiation.Caspase-3 and Bax were adjustment in apoptosis.The detection of expression of Bax,Caspase-3 is helpful to the TCM syndrome differentiation and to the selection of treatment plan.At the same time,it can provide more important experiment basses for the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis.

Objective To evaluate the effect of the serum of rats with hepato-pulmonary syndrome (HPS) on the expression of caveolin-1 and VE-cadherin in pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (PMVECs).Methods Among the 40 healthy Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 3-4 months,weighing 220-250 g,20 rats were taken randomly for establishment the model of HPS which was produced by chronic ligation of the common bile duct,and the left 20 rats served as sham operation group.Primary PMVECs were harvested from healthy adult Sprague-Dawley rats and inoculated in ECM culture medium or on 96-well culture plate.The PMVECs of 4th-9th generation were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =36 each):control group (group C) and HPS group.In group C,the serum obtained from normal rats in sham operation group was added to PMVECs,while the serum obtained from rats with HPS was added in HPS group.The final concentration of serum was 10％.After being incubated for 12,24 and 36 h (T1-3),the expression of caveolin-1 and VE-cadherin in PMVECs was detected by Western blot,and the PMVEC adhesion rate and proliferation were determined by CKK-8 method.Results Compared with group C,the expression of caveolin-1 and VE-cadherin was significantly down-regulated,the cell adhesion rate was decreased,and the proliferation of PMVECs was enhanced in HPS group.Conclusion The serum of rats with HPS induces weakened PMVEC contact inhibition through down-regulating caveolin-1 and VE-cadherin expression.

NGOs play an important role in global health governance, and have become the key partners of World Health Organization ( WHO) , European and American governments. The goal of the sustainable development of the United Nations also proposes to strengthen NGOs as global health governance partners. Taking WHO, the Unit-ed States and Britain as case examples, this study reviewed the NGOs positioning and cooperation in their global health strategies. The results found that these entities explicitly define the roles of NGOs and strengthen cooperation in their global health strategies to expand their influence in the field of global health. Results also found that WHO, US and UK have given NGOs a clear positioning, that is, they have strengthened the mutual cooperation ( partner-ships) in the same way of expanding their influence in the field of global health for China’s global health strategy de-velopment referred to those NGOs. Therefore, China should incorporate NGOs into the global health strategy, estab-lish NGOs management and cooperation mechanism and define their roles and make it an important complement to global health. China should also strictly select international NGOs to cooperate with and strive to nurture and support Chinese NGOs to participate in global health programs set by the Government, formulate the cooperation list and neg-ative list for NGOs, and at the same time strengthen the supervision and audit to avoid possible risks of NGOs.
