China Journal of Chinese Materia Medica 2015;40(3):550-555
To analyze the compatibility regularity of compound traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) patents for treating dyslipidemia, and provide basis for the clinical development and research of new TCM for treating dyslipidemia. Totally 243 compound traditional Chinese medicine patents for treating dyslipidemia were collected from the national patent database from September 1985 to March 2014 and analyzed by using drug frequency, association rules, complex network and entropy method of Traditional Chinese Medicine Inheritance System (V1.1). The commonest single medicine in the treatment of dyslipidemia is Crataegi Fructus 109 (44.86%). The commonest pair medicine is Crataegi Fructus-Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma 53 (21.81%). The commonest corner drug is Crataegi Fructus-Cassiae Semen-Polygoni Multiflori Radix 25 (10.29%). The common prescriptions on basis of association rules are Prunellae Spica-->Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (0.833), Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, Alismatis Rhizoma-->Polygoni Multiflori Radix (1.00), Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Cassiae Semen, Alismatis Rhizoma-->Polygoni Multiflori Radix (0.929). The core drugs based on complex networks are Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and Crataegi Fructus. The new prescriptions extracted by entropy method are Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma-Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma-Platycladi Semen-Stephaniae Tetrandrae Radix; Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium-Poria-Coicis Semen-Pinelliae Rhizoma. This study shows the regularity in the compatibility of compound TCM patents treating dyslipidemia, suggesting that future studies on new traditional Chinese medicines treating dyslipidemia should focus on the following six aspects: (1) Single medicine should be preferred: e. g. Crataegi Fructus; (2) Pair medicines should be preferred: e. g. Crataegi Fructus-Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma; (3) Corner drugs should be preferred: e. g. Crataegi Fructus, Cassiae Semen, Polygoni Multiflori Radix; (4) The compatibility among drugs shall be given attention, and highly correlated drugs should be preferred: e. g. Prunellae Spica, Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma; Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, Alismatis Rhizoma, Polygoni Multiflori Radix; Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Cassiae Semen, Alismatis Rhizoma, Polygoni Multiflori Radix; (5) Core drugs should be dominant and compatible, e. g. in the digestion catharsis method, the core drugs is Crataegi Fructus and compatible with Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma; (6) Application of new prescriptions: Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Platycladi Semen, Stephaniae Tetrandrae Radix; Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, Poria, Coicis Semen, Pinelliae Rhizoma.

Objective To investigate the value of treadmill exercise test and dipyridamole electrocardiography stress test (DP T) in diagnosis of coronary heart diseases (CHD), with an attemp of developing a safe, effective and simple diagnostic method for patients intolerable to the exercise. Methods Fifty two male patients aged from 41 to 75 years, averaged 58.44?8.79 years and with suspected or confirmed CHD were recruited to perform the treadmill exercise test, DP T and coronary angiography, respectively, within one month. Results The sensitivity and specificity of the treadmill exercise test for diagnosing CHD were 100% and 78.95%, respectively, while those of DP T for diagnosing CHD were 79.31% and 65.22%, respectively.As corresponded to the number of sites of coronary artery lesions,the numbers of cases with positive results revealed were 0, 2, 10 and 17 by the treadmill exercise tests and 0, 6, 11 and 15 by DP T, respectively.Based on the criteria of DP T, the sensitivity and specificity symptom, the changes in electrocardiography (ECG) and the combination of the two, for diagnosing CHD were 72.41%, 65.22%; 65.52%, 82.61%;and 79.31%, 65.22%, respectively. Conclusion The sensitivity and specificity of the treadmill exercise test and the DP T in the diagnosis of CHD were similar. More positive cases were revealed in above mentioned tests as the sites and degree of coronary artery lesion increased. DP T was particularly suitable for helping diagnose CHD in patients intolerable to exercise.

Objective To explore the early diagnostic significance of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide(CCP) antibody and hidden rheumatoid factor immunoglobulin M(HRF-IgM) detected by ELISA in patients with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis(JRA). Methods The synthesized CCP was used as the antigen to detect anti-CCP antibody. Anti-CCP antibody and HRF-IgM were detected dynamically in 27 patients with early diagnosed JRA and their specificity and sensitivity were determined for early diagnosed JRA by calculating the positive predicting value (PPV) and negative predicting value (NPV). Results The total positive rate of anti-CCP antibody and HRF-IgM were 58.5 % and 65.0 % respectively in patients with JRA. The sensitivity of HRF-IgM was more predominant than that of anti-CCP antibody. There was a positive correlation between the positive rate of antibodies and the subtype of JRA. The specificity of anti-CCP antibody for predicting early JRA was superior to that of HRF-IgM. When using these two tests in combination, the PPV predicting rate of early JRA was 93.7 % . Conclusions Both anti-CCP antibody and HRF-IgM are elevated in patients with JRA, which show positive correlations with the subtype of the disease. The specificity of anti-CCP antibody testing is considerably higher for diagnosing early JRA, and when it was used together with HRF-IgM testing, the PPV for JRA can be raised further.

MicroRNAs(miRNAs) are a class of highly conserved,endogenous,small,non-coding RNAs that reg-ulate RNAi and are key regulators of tumorigenesis and development.miR-338 is abnormally expressed in most tumors. Aberrant expression of miR-338 can affect the proliferation, invasion, metastasis, angiogenesis and other physiological activities of tumor cells and play a vital role in the regulation on one or more target-genes.

A stable and efficient L-Malic acid accumulation mutant strain Rhizopus oryzae ME-M15 was discovered occasionally in the mutation breading for fumaric acid producers. Rhizopus oryzae ME-M15 gave a L-Malic acid output of 16.3 g/L on average after fermentation for 96 hours, more than 3 times than that of the parent strain ME-F10. In addition, other metabolites such as ethanol and fumaric acid were re-markably decreased in accordance with the depressed activity of the cytosolic isoenzyme of fumarase and alcohol dehydrogenase in strain ME-M15, while the activity of the pyruvate carboxylase had no significant difference.

OBJECTIVETo explore the relationship between blood stasis (BS) syndrome and coronary lesion in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD).
METHODSSyndrome types of 500 patients collected from multiple centers whose diagnosis of CHD confirmed by coronary angiography were differentiated. And the relationship between BS syndrome, its subtypes, and coronary lesion (affected branches, degree of constriction) were analyzed.
RESULTSThe affected branches of coronary artery in patients of BS syndrome was 2.28 +/- 0.28, while that in the non-BS syndrome patients was 2.07 +/- 0.86, showing significant difference between them (P < 0.05); as compared to patients of non-BS syndrome, the coronary lesions in patients of BS syndrome were mostly multi-vascular, and of more severe degree (P < 0.05). In patients of various BS syndrome subtypes, the average number of affected coronary branches in patients of yang-deficiency subtype was 2.58 +/- 0.65, which was significantly more than the number in patients of other BS syndrome subtypes. The constriction degree of coronary lesions in patients of yang-deficiency BS syndrome subtype were mostly severe or moderate, and single branch lesion was rarely seen, as compared with those in patients of phlegm-stasis obstruction subtype, the difference was significant (P < 0.05). The corresponding correlative analysis showed that close correlation was found between yang-deficiency subtype of BS syndrome and severe coronary constriction with the correlation distance of 0.1899.
CONCLUSIONRelationship between BS syndrome and coronary lesion (its number of branches and degree of constriction) truly exists to a certain extent.

OBJECTIVETo study the effect of Zhibai Dihuang Pill (ZBDHP) on urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and sperm quality in ureaplasma urealyticum (Uu) infection infertile patients.
METHODSRecruited were 80 infertility patients with Uu infection at Andriatrics Clinics and Department of Reproduction, including 130 cases of positive Uu semen and 50 cases of negative Uu semen. Patients with positive Uu semen were randomly assigned to the observation group (72 cases) and the control group (58 cases) according to the visit sequence. All patients took antibiotics for 2 weeks. Patients in the observation group additionally took ZBDHP, 6 g each time, twice daily. Those in the control group additionally took Vit E (100 mg each time, twice per day) and ATP (40 mg each time, twice per day). The therapeutic course for all was 90 days. Semen parameters and uPA contents of the sperm membrane were detected and comparatively analyzed.
RESULTSThe sperm membrane uPA content, the sperm motility, the sperm viability, and the percentage of normal morphology sperm in Uu positive infected patients were lower than those in Uu negative infected patients with statistical difference (P < 0.05), but with no significant difference in the sperm density between the two groups (P > 0.05). There was no statistical difference in pre-treatment sperm membrane uPA contents and sperm parameters between the two groups (P > 0.05). Compared with before treatment in the same group, the sperm membrane uPA content, the sperm motility, the sperm viability, and the percentage of normal morphology sperm obviously increased in the two groups with statistical difference (P < 0.05). After treatment, the sperm membrane uPA content increased more obviously in the observation group, with statistical difference when compared with the control group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONSInfection with Uu leads to decreased uPA content of sperm membrance and the sperm motility. ZBDHP could effectively treat Uu infected infertility possibly through fighting against Uu damaged sperm membrane and make the sperm membrane uPA content return to normal, and elevate the fertilizability of sperms.
