Objective To establish a rat model of liver metabolism profile in chronic heart failure (CHF), to explore the dynamics of liver metabolism in CHF from the point of view of metabolism, and to find the characteristic metabolites valuable for the molecular mechanism and management of CHF.Methods Twenty male Wistar rats were assigned to the CHF group to receive aortic coarctation or to the control group to receive sham surgery, and were bred for 24 weeks following surgery.The metabolic profiling of the rat liver tissues was analyzed on a metabonomics research platform. Orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis ( OPLS-DA) model and principal component analysis ( PCA) model were established for liver tissues of the CHF rats, and the characteristic metabolites were finally derived by data processing with SPSS 19.0 software.Results The PAC and OPLS-DA models were established successfully.Ten characteristic metabolites with significant differences between the CHF and control groups, including lysophosphatidyl choline, lysophosphatidyl ethanolamine, oleic acid, glycocholic acid, and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, were screened and identified from the models.Conclusions The metabolic disorders in CHF rats are well fitted to the established metabolic profile models, and these identified characteristic metabolites may provide reference for the pathophysiological molecular mechanism and management, etc., of chronic heart failure.

Objective To investigate the in vitro effect of wild-type PTEN gene transfection on the growth of human colon cancer cell lines. Methods With liposome transduction technique,the retrovirus vector pBp-PTEN,which contains wild-type PTEN gene segment and pBabe-puro,was transfected into Lovo,one of the PTEN-deficient human colorectal carcinoma cell lines.After identification by Western blotting,cell growth,cell cycle and apoptosis before and after transfection were studied. Results It was indicated by the cell growth curve that after transfection the curve of the transfection group exhibited a mild tendency with no obvious logarithmic growth phase,and the growth velocity was significantly lower than that of the control group(P

Objective To investigate the method and result of repairing multi-fingers soft tissue defects using the dorsal metacarpal flaps with cutaneous branches as pedicle.Methods From February,2010 to January,2013,9 patients with multi-fingers tissue defects were treated with the 2nd,3rd,4th dorsal metacarpal flaps with cutaneous branches as pedicles.The area of flaps ranged from 1.2 cm × 2.5 cm to 2.5 cm × 5.0 cm.The donor sites were sutured with full thick skin graft.Results All flaps survived.After a followed-up of 8 months to 24 months(average 12 months),the texture and shape of the flaps were good and non-bloated.The flap sensibility as sessment were S3-S3+.The two-point discrimination testing were 10 to 13 mm (average 11.6 mm).The TAM score of range of motion was 60％ to 75％ of the healthy side.The skin graft of donor site were soft.Conclusion Procedure of dorsal metacarpal flaps with cutaneous branches as pedicles easy is a good method to repaire the soft tissue defects of muhi-fingers.

Objective To explore the optimal method of extraction and determination of rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline in Ramulus Uncariae cum Uncis. Methods A RP-HPLC was performed on a Phenomenex C18 column (4. 6 mm× 150 mm, 5m) at 30℃. The mobile phase consisted of methanol-0. 01 mmol/L triethylamine solution (70: 30, pH 7.0 adjusted by glacial acetic acid) at the flow rate of 0. 5 mL/min. The automatic sample injector was set at 5℃ and the ultraviolet detector was operated at 245 nm. And then, the effect of different extraction condition on the contents of rhynchophylline and isorhyn-ehophylline in Ramulus Uncariae cum Uncis was investigated. ResultsA good linearity of rhynchophylline was in the range of 2. 5μg/mL to 80. 0μg/mL (Y=76. 7170X-0. 0727,r=0. 999 8),the average recoveries were from 99. 84 ％ to 116. 91％, and the RSD (n=6) were less than 8.8 ％. A good linearity of isorhynchophylline was in the range of 2. 0 μg/mL to 80. 0 μg/mL (Y=87. 4729X-0. 3666, r=0.999 7), the average recoveries were from 87.08 ％ to 104. 97 ％, and the RSD (n=6) were less than 7.3 ％. The contents of rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline in the methanol-extracted solu- tion were approximately ten times as much as those in water-decocted solution. The main factors which had effect on the ex-traction of rhynchophyUine and isorhynchophylline in methanol solution were supersonic time,methanol amount and cold-dousing time, in a decreasing sequence. The best condition selected by orthogonal experiment wasb as follows: extracting the medicinal material with 20-fold volumes of methanol, cold maceration for 24h and supersonic extraction for 1 h. Conclusion The extraction percentage of rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline in the extraction condition of cold maceration with methanol and supersonic extraction is superior to that in the water-decocting condition. The method is simple, fast and accurate, and it can be used for the quality control of Ramulus Uncariae cum Uncis.
