Growing evidence indicates that hyperhomocysteinemia is not only a high risk factor for cerebrovascular diseases,but also closely correlated with neurodegenerative diseases and mental diseases,such as Alzheimer's disease,Parkinson's disease,dementia,cognitive impair- ment,depression and schizophrenia,The mechanisms of homocysteine neurotoxicity remains unclear,and it may include activating extracellular signal-regulated kinases,excessively activating glutamate receptors,participating in oxidative stress response,affecting methylation process and damaging DNA.

Objective To investigate the effects of deguelin on the proliferation inhibition and apoptosis induction in RPMI-8226 cells in vitro,as well as the regulation of steroid receptor coactivator-3(SRC-3)to explore the relationship between them.Methods The effect of deguelin on the growth of RPMI-8226 cells was studied by MTT assay.Apoptosis was detected through Hoechst 33258 staining and Annexin-V FITC/PI double-labeled cytometry.RT-PCR Technology was applied to assessment of the mRNA expression of SRC-3,whereas,SRC-3 protein expression and localization were determined by using immunohistochemistry method.Results Deguelin presented striking proliferation inhibition potency on RPMI-8226 cells in vitro and apoptosis induction activity in a time-and dose-dependent manner.The IC50 value for 24 h was(54.55?0.40)nmol/L,(17.04?0.73)% RPMI-8226 cells went apoptotic when treated with 25 nmol/L deguelin for 24 h,with the dose of deguelin increasing to 100 nmol/L,(63.57?1.36)% cells were apoptotic.Over-expression of SRC-3 was found in RPMI-8226 cells,whereas the mRNA and protein expression levels of SRC-3 were significantly downregulated in RPMI-8226 cells induced by deguelin in a dose-dependent manner.The disposition of SRC-3 was situated mainly at the nuclear,occasionally in the cytoplasm.Conclusion Deguelin exhibited potent proliferation inhibition to the human myeloma cell line RPMI-8226 cells,furthermore,deguelin might induce RPMI-8226 cells apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner,which might correspond to the regulation of the expression of SRC-3.
3.Recent advancement about oncomodulin in regeneration of nerve system and optical nerve
Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2011;29(6):570-574
Oncomodulin(OM) is a kind of Ca-bind protein(CABP),and it belongs to the tropon in C super family.It different from other CABP because of its special domain(CD domain) which could bind with Ca2+.Multiple functions of OM have been determined during the study of its construction and distribution.It plays very important role in adjusting cell electric activity,regulating cell signal conduction passageway and cell cycle.In recent years,the study on OM promoting axon regeneration is emerging,especially in the regeneration of optical nerve.It offers a basis for solving the regeneration of spinal cord and cranial nerve.The concept,construction and distribution,action mechanism and its relationship with regeneration of optical nerve were reviewed in this article.

?AlM:To investigate the sensitive parameters of the anterior chamber changes with Pentacam anterior segment analysis system before and after laser peripheral iridectomy (LPl) in primary angle-closure suspetive (PACS).
? METHODS: Sixty eyes of 33 PACS patients were enrolled in this study. Pentacam examination was performed before and 1d after LPl to measure the central anterior chamber depth ( CACD ) , the peripheral anterior chamber depth ( PACD ) , the anterior chamber volume ( ACV) and the peripheral anterior chamber angle ( ACA) . Statistical analysis used paired t test.
?RESULTS: There was no statistical significance on the changes of ACD. PACD and ACV increased significantly between before and 1d after LPl. ACA was widened from (22. 26o±5. 18o) to (26. 42o±5. 20o), which were increased significantly between before and 1d after LPl.
?CONCLUSlON: LPl can deepen the PACD and increase the ACV in PACS. PACD and ACV are the sensitive parameters of the anterior chamber changes with Pentacam anterior segment analysis system.
5.Intracoronary stenting for senile patients with acute myocardial infarction
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2004;10(9):557-557
ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy of intracoronary stenting for senile patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods42 senile patients with AMI underwent intracoronary stenting were analysed. Before and after stenting, the changes of the patients' blood pressures, heart rates and cardiac functions tested by ultrasonography were observed.Results45 intracoronary stents were implanted in 42 patients, one patient falled during hospitalization. The blood pressure was increased significantly, the heart rate decreased and the candiac function improved after stenting.ConclusionIntracoronary stenting is a very effective and safe therapy for the senile patients with AMI.

BACKGROUND: Coffee is commonly consumed among young people in China. However, consumers are rarely aware of physicaly adverse effects as a result of excessive consumption of caffeine. DATA SOURCES: A literature search using multiple databases was performed for articles published with concentration on meta-analyses, systematic reviews, and randomized controlled trials. RESULTS: Excess coffee consumption is also a risk of primary cardiac arrest especially in young people. Treatment modalities include activated charcoals, beta-blockers, vasopressin and hemodialysis when necessary. CONCLUSION: Coffee consumers should be advised not to routinely take more than moderate coffee.

Diffusion tensor imaging is a non-invasive MRI technique which can identify changes of cerebral microstructure that CT and MRI is difficult to find, especially in the change of nerve fibers direction, which can be used for the researches of evaluation, recovery mechanism and prognosis of neurology. It has been applied in rehabilitation of motor, language and recognition of post-stroke patients.

This study was aimed to analyze compatibility rules of Chinese drugs and prescription design in the pre-vention and treatment of scleroderma. The database of scleroderma treated by Chinese medicine was set up. And then, association rules were used to analyze the prescription compatibility rules. The results showed the highest fre-quency of drugs in the treatment of scleroderma were Astragalus, Angelica sinensis and Salvia. The tonifying and re-plenishing medicinal, blood-activating and stasis-resolving medicinal and exterior-releasing medicinal were with the highest frequency. The commonly used formula in the treatment of scleroderma was Y ang-He decoction. For herbal groups, occurrence of the highest was the combinations of Ramulus Cinnamomi-Astragalus and Carthamus tinctorius L.-Astragalus. Three kinds of herbals were commonly coupled, such as Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. and Caulis Spatholobi with Salvia, P. multiflorum Thunb. and R. Cinnamomi with Salvia, P. multiflorum Thunb. and Astragalus with Salvia, prepared Radix Rehmanniae and Codonopsis with C. tinctorius L., prepared Radix Rehmanniae and Codonopsis with R. Cinnamomi, Codonopsis and Radix paeoniae rubra with R. Cinnamomi. Four kinds of herbals such as R. Cinnamomi, Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch., Astragalus and Codonopsis were commonly coupled. It was con-cluded that compatibility rules of Chinese medicine in the prevention and treatment of scleroderma laid the founda-tion for herbal medicine selection and prescription design.
