Objective To observe the inhibitory role of valproic acid (VPA) in hypertrophic cardiomycytes induced by angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ)in rats. Methods The cultured rat cardiomyocytes were divided randomly into control group, hypertrophic group and VPA group. They were treated with Ang Ⅱ to induce hypertrophy and then given with VPA. The morphologic changes of cardiomyocytes were observed under the contrast phase microscope and electron microscope. The mRNA levels ofβ-MHC were exmained by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method. The protein expression of C-FOS was exmanined by immunohistochemistry method. Results Stimulated by Ang Ⅱ, the cardiomyocytes were enlarged under the contrast phase microscope and the ultrastructure also changed. After stimulated by Ang Ⅱ, the mRNA level of β-MHC and the protein expression of C-FOS increased in the hypertrophic cardiocytes. Given by VPA, these data decreased accordingly. Conclusion VPA may inhibit the cardiomyocyte hypertrophy induced by angiotensin Ⅱ in some degree.

Herba Hedyotis Diffusae has many kinds of pharmacological activities such as anti-tumor, antioxidant, immune regulation and so on. This article collected and reported the related literature at home and abroad in recent years, found that pharmacological active ingredients of Herba Hedyotis Diffusae show consistency of polysaccharides and flavonoids to varying degrees, and summarized the pharmacological effects and extraction and purification process. The author believed that, the study about Herba Hedyotis Diffusae has made relatively great achievements, but the research mainly focused on polysaccharides or flavonoids, and efficacy of Herba Hedyotis Diffusae was not in enough in-depth exploration. The indicator of extraction and purification process is relatively single. This study estimated the mechanism of Herba Hedyotis Diffusae from the aspects of absorption and metabolism of intestinal flora and relationship between medicine structure and exert efficacy, hoping to optimize the extracting processes by multiple indexes, and provided references for further exploitation and utilization of Herba Hedyotis Diffusae.

To study the influence of individualized medication guidance based on an Short Messaging Service( SMS) platform on the medication compliance in the patients with diabetes. Methods: Totally 100 cases of diabetic patients from the outpa-tient section were randomly divided into two groups using a number method with 50 ones in each, namely odd number was in the obser-vation group and even number was in the control group. The observation group was given pharmaceutical guidance based on the SMS technology platform by pharmacists, and the control group was given telephone follow-up once a week to understand the medical situa-tion. At the beginning of the study and after three-month treatment, the medication compliance in the two groups was evaluated, and the control situation of blood glucose was also compared. Results:There was no significant difference in the medication compliance be-tween the two groups at the beginning (P>0. 05). After the 3-month treatment, the blood glucose and medication compliance between the two group had statistical significance (P<0. 01). Conclusion:Based on a mobile phone short message technology platform, indi-vidualized clinical pharmaceutical guidance can significantly improve the medication compliance in diabetic patients.

This study analysed the tissue specific expression of critical genes involved in chlorogenic acid and luteolin biosynthesis, for exploiting the molecular mechanism of components biosynthesis in Lonicera confusa. Expression of PAL, 4CL, C4H, CHS, CHI, FNS and HQT gene families of chlorogenic acid and luteolin biosynthesis-related genes in buds and leaves of L. confusa were analyed by Real-time PCR. Expressions of PAL1, C4H1, 4CL1, CHS1, CHI3 and HQT2 in buds were lower than that in leaves, and expressions of PAL3, 4CL2, CHI2 and FNS2 in buds were higher than that in leaves. The results indicated that that PAL3 and 4CL2 may be associated with accumulation of chlorogenic acid, and the expression patterns of PAL1, CHS1, CHI3 and HQT2 in buds and leaves of L. confusa were different with L. japonica. This study provided some theoretical basis for the further research on genetic mechanism of active components differences in L. confusa and L. japonica.

ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence and the characteristics of heart failure (HF) in medical intensive care unit (ICU) so as to explore the factors contributing to HF.Methods A retrospective analysis of the data of HF was carried out in 887 HF patients (54. 2% ) males; age (69.83± 13.57) years oldadmitted to the medical ICU from October 2006 through June 2010. Clinical variables were systematically reviewed for all enrolled patients. HF as either major or additional diagnosis was recorded and the potential risk factors for HF were explored. Left ventricular systolic function was evaluated in HF patients by using ejection fraction (EF) measured by echocardiography. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the independent factors contributing to HF in medical ICU patients. Results Of the 887 patients, 74. 1% aged 65 years or over, and 53% had organ dysfunction. The prevalence of HF in medical ICU patients was 22. 8%. Echocardiography measurement revealed that left ventricular systolic function was preserved in 62. 5% of HF patients with an EF > 50%. Underlying heart diseases were identified in 72. 8% of the HF patients, and coronary artery disease accounted for the vast majority (52. 5% ), followed by valvular heart disease ( 17. 8% ). Structural heart diseases were not identified in 27. 2% of the HF patients. 4) After the adjustment of age and gender, multivariate regression analysis showed that coronary artery disease ( OR =7. 364, 95% CI: 4. 979 ~ 10. 890, P <0. 01 ), valvular heart disease ( OR =18. 023, 95% CI: 9. 280 ~ 35. 002, P < 0. 01 ), diabetes mellitus ( OR =2. 154, 95% CI: 1. 227 ~ 3. 784, P =0. 0076), respiratory failure ( ( OR =1. 527, 95% CI: 1. 045 ~ 2. 229, P =0. 0285 ), and renal dysfunction ( OR =2. 638, 95% CI: 1. 621 ~ 4. 294, P =0. 0001 ) were associated with risk increased for HF in medical ICU. ConclusionsHF is highly prevalent in medical ICU and its etiology is multi-factorial. The high rate of HF with preserved EF highlights the importance of enhanced alertness for HF with preserved systolic function in ICU.
