Objective To investigate the effect of hyperuricemia(HUA) on inflammation and endothelin-1 (ET-1) production and treatment of Benzbnomanone in hypertensive patients.Methods 90 initial hypertensive patients were enrolled from the inpatient division and clinic of our hospital,60 patients of them were identified HUA,and 30 patients were normal in uric acid as control.All these hypertensive patients with HUA were treated with basic anti-hypertensive drugs,of them 30 patients were additionally treated with Benzbromarone table 50mg for 8 weeks.The levels of inflammation indices and ET-1 were compared between these hypertensive patients with HUA and hypertensive patients with normal serum uric acid,also hypertensive patients with HUA treated with or without Benzbromarone for 8 weeks.Results Compared with the hypertensive patients with normal serum uric acid,levels of ET-1,interleukin-1 (IL-1) and high-sensitive C reactive protein (hsCRP) were higher in the hypertensive patients with HUA.Also,the levels of these indices were positively correlated with the level of serum uric acid [(86.6 ± 4.8) pg/ml vs (82.4 ±6.9)pg/ml; (47.6 ±6.2)mg/L vs (19.1 ±4.1) mg/L; (3.4 ±0.8)mg/L vs (2.9 ± 1.1)mg/L,r =0.81,0.74,0.83,all P < 0.05].Benzbromarone could effectively decrease the levels of ET-1,IL-1and hsCRP in the hypertensive patients with HUA [(49.8 ± 5.0) pg/ml vs (87.5 ± 5.9) pg/ml ; (17.6 ±8.8) mg/L vs (48.2 ± 7.0) mg/L; (1.7 ± 0.7) mg/L vs (3.5 ± 0.9) mg/L,all P < 0.05].Conclusions HUA could increase the levels of inflammation and ET-1,while Benzbromarone effectivelv decreased these changes.Decreasing the level of serum uric acid would retard the process of atherosclerosis in the hypertensive patients with HUA.

With the excellent merits of wide analytical range, high sensitivity, small sample size, fast analysis speed, good repeatability, simple operation, low mobile phase consumption, as well as its capability of simultaneous isolation and identification, etc, mass spectrometry techniques have become widely used in the area of environmental science, energy chemical industry, biological medicine, and so on. This article reviews the application of mass spectrometry technology in biological sample analysis in the latest three years with the focus on the new applications in pharmacokinetics and bioequivalence, toxicokinetics, pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic, population pharmacokinetics, identification and fragmentation pathways of drugs and their metabolites and metabonomics to provide references for further study of biological sample analysis.

Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs 2015;46(3):378-383
Objective: To establish a method suitable to the quality evaluation of the roots in Tripterygium wilfordii based on hepatotoxic potency. Methods: The inhibitory rates of T. wilfordii and its regional substitute-T. hypoglaucum, with normal human hepatocytes (L02 cell line) as carrier, were established by optimizing a series of factors, such as test samples prepared with conditions. Results: Taking p-acetaminophenol as positive control (toxic potency was 400 U/g), The 50% ethanol extract of T. wilfordii was dried under ultrasonic vacuum to obtaine the dry paste. The test solution with crude drug of 3 mg/mL was prepared by medium. The dilution ratio was 1:0.65. The hepatotoxic potencies of 18 batches of T. wilfordii and 5 batches of T. hypoglaucum were 17.78-4131.4 and 209.42-7422.2 U/g, respectively, detected by the reaction parallel line method, and the differences were over 200 and 30 times. There was the significant hepatotoxic potency of T. wilfordii and T. hypoglaucum from the various origins. In addition, the fresh collected samples had the larger hepatotoxic potency than that in the dried samples collected in the market. Conclusion: The preliminarily established hepatotoxic potency bioassay is useful to evaluate the quality of T. wilfordii which directs the correlation with the drug's hepatotoxic adverse effect in clinic. The method can provide the reference for the clinical safety use of T. wilfordii based on the quality control and be as the quantitative method used to screen the toxic components from T. wilfordii.

Objective To investigate the effect of physical training on plasma N-terminal pro-brain natri- uretic peptide(NT-proBNP)levels in patients with chronic heart failure(CHF).Methods Eighty NYHAⅡ-ⅢCHF patients were randomly divided into a training group(n=42)and a control group(n=38).A 6-minute walk- ing test was performed within 24 hours after the patients were admitted.The 6-minute walking distance and plasma NT-proBNP levels were determined before and after 8 weeks of programmed physical training.The patients of both groups were treated with routine drugs for heart failure.6-minute walk training was only performed in the training group twice a day for 8 weeks.Results Physical training could significantly reduce plasma NT-proBNP levels and improve performance on the 6-minute walking test.Conclusions Physical training could significantly reduce plas- ma NT-proBNP levels and improve the motor function of patients with CHF,and could be helpful in delaying the de- velopment of CHF.

BACKGROUND:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells derived from multiple myeloma patients are characterized by pluripotential differentiation, immunoregulation and supporting hematopoiesis, but whether these features are affected after cryopreservation is unclear.
OBJECTIVE:To study the biological characteristics of cryopreserved bone marrow mesenthymal stem cellderived from multiple myeloma patients.
METHODS:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells derived from multiple myeloma patients were cryopreserved in-196 ℃ liquid nitrogen for 1 month (short term) and 12 months (long term) with Iscove’s modified Dulbecco’s medium containing 10%dimethyl sulfoxide and 40%fetal bovine serum as cryoprotectant. The viability and proliferation ability of thawed bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were investigated. Hematopoiesis support of thawed bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in vitro was detected by long-term bone marrow culture and the methylcellulose progenitor assay. The immunoregulatory ability of thawed mesenchymal stem cells was detected by mixed lymphocyte culture assay.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The cellviability was (92.9±7.5)%and (86.7±9.2)%for mesenchymal stem cells cryopreserved as long as 1 month or 12 months, respectively. Furthermore, thawed bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells possessed the ability of supporting colony forming and could significantly suppress proliferation of T lymphocytes. At last, there were no changes detected as compared with pre-cryopreserved mesenchymal stem cells in the abilities of proliferation, hematopoiesis support and immunoregulation. Cryopreservation can decrease the cellviability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells derived from the patients with multiple myeloma, but cannot affect the abilities of proliferation, hematopoiesis support and immunoregulation.

Abstract? AIM: To investigate changes of anterior chamber parameters after posterior chamber phakic implantable collamer lens ( ICL ) surgery and its correlation with intraocular pressure ( IOP) .?METHODS: This was a retrospective case series study. Seventy four eyes in 43 myopia patients were examined by Allegro Oculyzer anterior segment tomography to obtain the changes of anterior chamber volume ( ACV ) , anterior chamber angle ( ACA) , central anterior chamber depth ( ACD) and vault, meanwhile, to measure the IOP to analyze the correlation with anterior chamber parameters.?RESULTS: Compared with preoperative, ACV, ACA, ACD all decreased apparently ( P <0.01 ) in the postoperative period of 1, 3, and 6mo.ACV, ACA and ACD showed their stability in each period after the surgery.There were changes of vault in 1 and 6mo ( t=27.66, P=0.01).IOP had not altered when compared with the preoperative.This research revealed that IOP had no relation with ACV, ACA, ACD and vault in every phase( all P>0.05).?CONCLUSION:For patients underwent ICL, the anterior chamber parameters all decreased which included ACV, ACA, ACD, and had stabilized since early postoperative period. Correspondingly, IOP was stable and had not correlate with ACV, ACA, ACD and vault, however the long-term observation is still necessary.
