OBJECTIVE:To detect curative mechanism of bushen huoxue huatan formula on polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)model rats. METHODS:50 rats were randomly divided into normal control group,model control group,positive control group [rosiglitazone,3.0 mg/(kg·d)] and Bushen huoxue huatan formula high-dose,low-dose groups [7.5,5.0 g/(kg·d)],10 in each group. Except for normal control group,the PCOS model was induced by Poresky method in other groups. After modeling, normal control group and model control group were received normal saline intragastrically,medicine groups were received corre-sponding liquids intragastrically,once a day,for 22 d. After administration,the serum levels of testosterone (T),anti-mullerian hormone (AMH),insulin-like growth factor Ⅰ(IGF-Ⅰ),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and the positive expression of trans-forming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1)in ovarian tissue were determined. RESULTS:Compared with normal control group,T,AMH, IGF-Ⅰ,TNF-αlevels in serum and TGF-β1 positive expression rate in ovarian tissue of rats in model control group were significant-ly increased(P<0.05);compared with model control group,T,AMH,IGF-Ⅰ,TNF-α levels in serum and TGF-β1 positive ex-pression rate of rats in ovarian tissue in other medicine groups were significantly decreased(P<0.05),and the indexes in Bushen huoxue huatan formula different doses groups were superior to positive control group(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Bushen huoxue huatan formula can obviously reduce the T,AMH,IGF-Ⅰ,TNF-α levels in serum and TGF-β1 positive expression rate in ovarian tissue in model rats with PCOS,which may be one of the mechanisms of its treatment for PCOS.

Objective:To study the neuroprotective effect of nobiletin on the symptoms of postoperative cognitive impairment (POCD) induced by sevoflurane inhalation.Methods:Twenty-four aged SD rats (12 female mice and 12 male mice) were divided into three groups randomly: control group ( n=8), surgery group ( n=8) and surgery + nobiletin group ( n=8), with 4 females and 4 males in each group.The rats in surgery group and surgery+ nobiletin group were given normal saline(0.1 ml/10 g, once a day) and nobiletin(100 mg/kg, once a day) intragastrically for 6 weeks.Then the rats were anesthetized by sevoflurane and treated by abdominal exploration surgery, and then continued gavage for 1 week.The rats in control group were given normal saline(0.1 ml/10 g, once a day) intragastrically for 7 weeks without anesthesia or surgery.Sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia and abbreviated laparotomy were not done for control group.Morris water maze and open field experiment were used to measure the memory and cognitive ability and the independent exploration ability respectively.The changes of α-band electroencephalogram (EEG) were recorded by multi-channel physiological signal acquisition and processing system.The concentration of S100β, a marker of neurological impairment was detected by ELISA.Western blot was used to detect the expression level of IBA-1 in microglia.SPSS 20.0 software was used to analyze the data. Results:There were no significant differences in Morris water maze, positioning cruise test and open field test among the groups before operation (all P>0.05). The differences were statistically significant among the groups 7 days after operation (all P<0.05). Compared with the control group (the escape latency, path length and cross platform times were ((20.37±1.11)s, (552.37±14.19)cm, (6.75±0.43)times respectively), the escape latency ((40.87±2.03)s) and path length ((1 258.62±19.53)cm) of rats in surgery group were significantly longer (both P<0.01), and the cross platform times ((2.12±0.33)times) significantly reduced ( P<0.01). The differences between surgery + nobiletin group ((22.37±1.11)s, (584.50±10.90)cm, (6.62±0.48)times) and control group were not significant (all P>0.05). The open field experiment showed that the movement distance, the crossed square number, and activity times in surgery group ((1.78±0.55) m, (4.75±0.50), (14.87±0.33) times) decreased significantly compared with those in control group ((3.73±0.07) m, (11.10±0.78), (51.12±0.78) times, all P<0.01). No significant difference was found between surgery + nobiletin group ((3.76±0.07)m, (10.75±0.66), (50.75±0.43)times) and control group(all P>0.05). Before anesthesia, there was no significant difference in the power ratio of α-band among the three groups ( P>0.05), but the differences during anesthesia and operation were significant ( F=72.58, 101.50, P<0.01). During anesthesia and operation, the power ratio of α-band in anesthesia and in surgery group (2.51±0.04, 2.14±0.03) were significantly lower (both P<0.01) than those in control group (3.49±0.03, 3.49±0.03), while there was no obvious changes (both P>0.05) in the surgery + nobiletin group (3.50±0.04, 3.51±0.04). There were significant differences in Bcl-2 protein expression and caspase 3/7 protein activity among the three groups ( F=5.21, 7.84, P<0.01). Compared with control group (1.00±0.02, 1 557.46±3.63), Bcl-2 of rats in the surgery group(0.40±0.05) were significantly lower and Caspase3/7 expression of surgery group (3 689.58±10.46) was significantly higher (both P<0.01), while the rats in the surgery + nobiletin group had no significant difference in both Bcl-2 level (1.03±0.06) and caspase 3/7 activities (1 805.28±6.17, both P>0.05). The difference of S100 β protein expression was significant among the three groups ( F=490.80, P<0.01). Compared with the control group ((0.18±0.01)μg/L), the concentration of S100β protein in the surgery group ((2.13±0.02)μg/L) decreased ( P<0.01), while there was no significant difference in the surgery + nobiletin group ((0.16±0.01) μg/L, P>0.05). The expression levels of IBA-1 protein ( F=10.83) and TNF-α, IL-1, IL-1β and IL-6 ( F=996.20, 221.40, 73.02, 174.13) were significantly different among the three groups (all P<0.01). The expression level of the neuroglial marker IBA-1 in the surgery group(1.36±0.02) was significantly higher than that in the control group (1.00±0.01, P<0.01), while the surgery + nobiletin group (1.03±0.01) had no significant different compared with control group ( P>0.05). The levels of inflammatory factors, including TNF-α, IL-1, IL-1β and IL-6, in the brain of rats treated with nobiletin ((49.06±3.63)pg/mg, (2.09±0.43)pg/mg, (16.27±0.80)pg/mg, (2.11±0.19)pg/mg) were significantly lower than those in the surgery group((145.10±6.46)pg/mg, (5.67±0.43)pg/mg, (27.88±3.43)pg/mg, (4.74±0.32)pg/mg, all P<0.01). Conclusion:Nobiletin can obviously alleviate POCD symptoms caused by sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia.

Objective This study aimed to assess the adherence to guideline-recommended therapies according to risk stratification in the management of acute coronary syndrome(ACS). Methods We analyzed 1,001 consecutive patients admitted with ACS. Patients were stratified using the GRACE risk score into low- and high-predicted risk of mortality at 6 months. We evaluated the use of hospital angiography,revascularization,and guideline-recommended medications between high and low-risk patients. Results High-risk compared to low-risk patients were less likely to underwent coronary angiography and/or revascularization during the hospitalization. The use of hospital-initiated pharmacotherapies was also lower in high-risk patients(P<0.05). Advanced age, increased creatinine level and higher GRACE score were independent predictors for failure to administer evidence-based therapies. Conclusion Patients with ACS at high risk of mortality were paradoxically less likely to undergo revascularization or receive medications according to guidelines. Better adherence to evidence-based therapies in high-risk patients may improve clinical outcome and quality of health care.

Total 1 500 subjects aged over 60 years were selected from 10 community health service centers with cluster sampling method.A questionnaire survey and physical examination were performed in all subjects.Sixty five patients with chronic heart failure were detected.The questionnaire showed that 77.6％ (38/49)patients were diagnosed in tertiary hospitals,and 12.2％ (6/49) were diagnosed in community hospitals.When heart failure occurred,most patients (37.7％,20/53) chose to take a taxi to the tertiary hospital directly,and less patients (17.0％,9/53)contacted community doctors.When a heart attack happened,68.8％ (33/48)of the patients could reach the hospital within 30 min,and 55.3％ (26/47) within 60 min.45.7％ (21/46) elderly patients were hospitalized for heart failure once a year;31.1％ (14/45) were in hospital for less than 10 d each time.46.0％ (23/50) heart failure patients had received health education and 40.0％ (16/40) had taken drugs under supervision;the majority health educators were community doctors and majority supervisors were family members.The results suggest that the confirmed diagnosis and treatment of heart failure patients still rely on tertiary hospitals,community health institutions play an important role in health education and management of heart failure patients outside hospitals.But the utilization of community health services is still not enough in community health service centers.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of Tiaojing zhuyun capsules on the number of blastocyst implantation,estrogen, progestogen and their receptors(ER,PR)in mice with implantation dysfunction. METHODS:48 pregnant mice were randomly di-vided into normal control group (normal saline),pathological model group (normal saline) and Tiaojing zhuyun capsules group (24 g/kg),with 16 mice in each group. They were given relevant medicine intragastrically,once a day,for consecutive 3 d. On the 4th day,those mice were given mifepristone 0.1 ml subcutaneously to induce implantation dysfunction model except for normal control group. On the 5th day,the mice were sacrificed. The number of blastocyst implantation sites was observed. The serum lev-els of estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P) were determined by radioimmunoassay,and the expression of ER and PR protein were determined by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS:On the 5th day of pregnancy,the number of embryo implantation sites,serum levels of E2 and P and the protein expression of ER and PR in pathological model group were significantly lower than in normal con-trol group(P<0.05);the number of embryo implantation sites,levels of E2 and P,the protein expression of ER and PR in Tiao-jing zhuyun capsules group were significantly higher than in pathological model group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Tiaojing zhuyun capsules can effectively improve the serum levels of E2 and P,the protein expression of ER and PR,and increase the num-ber of blastocyst implantation sites in mice.
