Objective: To explore correlation between serum uric acid (UA) level and heart failure severity in patients with chronic pulmonary heart disease (CPHD).Methods:According to New York Heart Association (NYHA) cardiac function classification, a total of 98 CPHD patients were divided into class I~II group (n=36), class III group (n=31) and class IV group (n=31).Another 30 healthy subjects were enrolled as healthy control group simultaneously.Serum UA level was measured in all groups.Real time three-dimensional color Doppler echocardiography was used to measure left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDd), and the results were compared among all groups.Results: Compared with healthy control group, there were significant rise in serum UA level[(342.4±101.7) μmol/L vs.(459.6±110.3) μmol/L]and incidence rate of hyperuricemia (33.33% vs.58.16%) in CPHD group, P<0.05 both;along with NYHA class increased, there were significant rise in serum UA level[(350.7±103.4) μmol/L vs.(422.3±106.7) μmol/L vs.(491.8±113.2) μmol/L], LVEDd [(59.2±10.1)mm vs.(64.3±9.8)mm vs.(68.9±10.6)mm], and significant reduction in LVEF[(37.7±9.8)% vs.(31.9±8.6)% vs.(28.4±8.1)%]in CPHD patients, P<0.05 all;linear correlation analysis indicated that serum UA level was significant positively correlated with LVEDd (r=0.67, P=0.026), and significant inversely correlated with LVEF (r=-0.86, P=0.033).Conclusion: Serum uric acid level can be used as a reliable index evaluating heart failure severity in patients with chronic pulmonary heart disease.

One hundred fifteen surgical specimens were studied by gram-stain, aerobic and anaerobic cultu- res, as well as gas chromatography, respectively. One hundred seventy six strains, including ninety five aerobic and eighty one anaerobic strains, were isolated. The results suggested that diagnosis of anaerobic bacteria by gas chromatography could be accomplished within 1 h. The specificity of this method was 98.11% and the sensitivity, 90.47%. In addition, the early identification of anaerobic bacteria could be made also. There is higher value for rapid diagnosis of anaerobic infection with gas chromatography.

To study the clinical features and diagnosis of synovitis,acne,pustulosis,hyperostosis,osteitis syndrome(SAPHO) syndrome.One case of SAPHO syndrome was reported and the related data of SAPHO syndrome were reviewed.The main clinical features of the patient were articulatio carpi synovitis,acne,cervical rib hyperostosis,articulatio sternoclavicularis and osteitis,So the diagnosis of SAPHO syndrome was made.Though SAPHO syndrome is rare with yet unknown prevalence,it still can be seen in clinical practice,and can be diagnosed by careful examination.

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is one of the common means in multidisciplinary treatment of locally advanced breast cancer,with anthracyclines and taxanes as main chemotherapeutic drugs.In recent years,molecular target agents have significantly improved the efficacy of chemotherapy,as well as have provided more choices and ideas for clinical treatment.Currently,the widely studied molecular targeted drugs include trastuzumab,lapatinib,pertuzumab,T-DM1 and bevacizumab.

Exosomes are cell-derived vesicles that contain protein and RNA from the same source and function. The vesicle has a diam-eter between 30 and 100 nm. Exosomes are the natural carriers and have been recently used as drug delivery system for cancer treat-ment. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) function in RNA silencing and regulation of gene expression. They can exist as intracellular and extracellu-lar miRNAs. Extracellular miRNAs can function as secreted signaling molecules that affect receptor cell phenotype. They can also re-flect molecular changes in donor cells. Therefore, extracellular miRNAs can be potentially used for diagnosis and therapeutics. Studies show that the volume of exosomes in cancer patients' blood is higher than that in normal controls. The ability to package cancer-relat-ed miRNAs is a biological function of exosomes. In conclusion, specific miRNAs transferred by exosomes may play an important role in the pathogenesis of tumor or cancer. This paper presents a summary of research on exosomes as the carrier of miRNAs in the develop-ment and treatment of cancer.

Objective To investigate the effect of resveratrol ( Res ) on the expression of survivin, p27 protein in human renal cell carcinoma 786-0 cells. Methods The cell cycle and apoptosis of 786-0 cells were detected by flow cytometry, and the expression of survivin and p27 protein of 786-0 cells was detected by Western blotting at time point of 12, 24 and 48 h after human renal cell carcinoma 786-0 cells were cultured with Res ( 25μmol·L-1 ) and blank medium, respectively. Results The ratio in G1 phase [(64.87±3.76)%] and G2 phase [(9.91±0.82)%] in the experimental group decreased significantly (P<0.05), and the ratio of S phase [(25.05±3.12)%] increased significantly (P<0.05).The apoptosis rate of experimental group at 12, 24 and 48 h [(5.12±0.64)%, (5.71±0.49)%, (5.84±0.30)%] was significantly higher than that of the control group [ ( 0. 72 ± 0. 27 )%, ( 0. 93 ± 0. 25 )%, ( 1. 12 ± 0. 21 )%, P<0. 05 ] . The expression of survivin protein in experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group ( P<0. 05 ) , and the expression was significantly increased with time prolonging (P<0.05).The expression of p27 protein in experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05), and the expression level was significantly decreased in time-dependent manner (P<0.05).There was a negative correlation between the expression of survivin and p27 protein in the experimental group ( P<0.05) . Conclusion Res could inhibit the expression of p27 protein and up-regulate survivin expression level, and promote the apoptosis of renal cell carcinoma 786-0 cells.

OBJECTIVE:To analyze the current status of counterfeit in China and indicate the difficultie of identification.METHODS:The main characteristics of counterfeit drugs were discussed by representative cases.RESULTS & CONCLUSION:It is suggested that the department of the drug administrave should establish a more scientific,reasonable standardization procedure of conterfeit drugs identification aiming directly at the characteristics of counterfeit drugs,which was more sufficient,intensive and practicable legal evidence for defining,fighting and preventing counterfeit drugs.

AIM: To study the effects of 9 (4 Ethoxycarboxylyphenoxy) 6,7 dimethoxy 1,2,3,4 tetrahydro acridine (EDT) on learning and memory abilities. METHODS: The step down test and Y maze test were adopted in this study. RESULTS: EDT ( 2.5 , 5, 10 mg?kg -1 , ig? 5 d ) dose dependently improved the impairment of memory acquisition, memory consolidation and memory retrieval induced by scopolamine, NaNO 2 and alcohol in mice. CONCLUSION: EDT can improve learning and mermory ability in mice.

Tumor Markers(Tumor Markers,TM) as a member of the tumor microenvironment components,change with the tumor microenvironment and the functional status of the body.Chinese medicine can improve the overall regulation of tumor micro-environment impact on the TM,which to some extent,the dynamic detection of TM can be reflected in the earlier short-term medical treatment of cancer patients.Based on TM,we clarified the relationship of differentiating disease and differentiating syndrome,type of syndrome and histology pathology type for tumor.This will provide new theoretical foundation for clinical anti-tumor studies from the microcosmic scope.
