China Pharmacist 2016;19(2):290-291
Objective:To discuss the influence of rosuvastatin intensive lipid-lowering on oxidative stress in the patients with un-stable angina pectoris ( UAP) . Methods:Totally 92 cases of patients with UAP were divided into the observation group and the control group at random with 46 cases in each. The patients in the two groups were given aspirin,β-blocker, nitrate preparations, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor ( ACEI) and the other basic medical treatment, and the patients in the control group were additionally giv-en 10mg rosuvastatin, qd, before sleeping, while the patients in the observation group were additionally given 20mg rosuvastatin, qd, before sleeping, and the course of treatment was 8 weeks. The changes of serum SOD, MDA and LPO levels in the two groups before and after the treatment were observed, and the adverse drug reactions ( ADR) were compared as well. Results: The rate of follow-up loss of the two groups had no statistically significant difference (P>0. 05). After the 8-week treatment, the serum MDA and LPO lev-els of the patients were obviously declined, while the SOD levels were obviously increased in the two groups (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01), and the changes in the observation group were more notable than those in the control group (P<0. 05). The incidence of ADR in the two groups had no statistically significant difference (P>0. 05). Conclusion:Rosuvastatin intensive lipid-lowering has high security. The mechanism may closely related to the effects of reducing serum MDA and LPO levels, increasing SOD levels, inhibiting lipid per-oxidation and enhancing antioxidant capacity.

Journal of Huazhong University of Science and Technology (Medical Sciences) 2003;23(4):392-5
To clone the murine alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) gene, construct the eukaryotic expression vector of AFP and express in CHO cells, total RNA were extracted from Hepa 1-6 cells, and then the murine alpha-fetoprotein gene was amplified by RT-PCR and cloned into the eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1. The recombinant of vector was identified by restriction enzyme analysis and sequencing. After transient transfection of CHO cells with the vector, Western blotting was used to detect the expression of AFP. It is concluded that the 1.8 kb murine alpha-fetoprotein gene was successfully cloned and its eukaryotic expression vector was successfully constructed.

Objective To investigate the expression of ER and PR in hyperplasia of mammary glands and breast cancer. Methods The expression of ER and PR in 68 hyperplasia of mammary glands cases and 168 breast cancer cases were quantified by immunohistochemical method. Results The expression of ER in breast cancer(30%) was significantly higher than that in hyperplasia of mammary glands(10 %)(P <0.05) and there was no significant difference in PR between them. The expression of ER in postmenopausal breast cancer was significantly higher than that in postmenopausal hyperplasia of mammary glands (P <0.05) and there was no significant difference in ER between two premenopausal groups. The expression of PR in invasive lobular carcinoma was significantly higher than that in invasive ductal carcinoma and other types (P=0.005).Conclusion The expression of ER and PR may identify the characteristics of patholobiology in breast disease.

Objective To investigate the psychological characteristics of the patients with functional dyspep-sia(FD). Methods The Zung serf-rating anxiety scale(SAS) and the Zung serf-rating depression scale(SDS) were employed to evaluate the anxiety mood and depression mood respectively of 110 FD patients ( group A) and 100 healthy volunteers (group B). The incidences of anxiety and depression in patients < 60 years and patients ≥60 years in group A were determined respectively. Results The anxiety ( 50.2±10.5 ) and depression scores ( 51.8±10.8)of group A were higher than group B [ (33.6±5.7) , ( 42.9±9.6) ] with a significant difference ( P<0.01 ). In group A, the anxiety incidence(66.0% ) in patients < 60 years was higher than patients ≥ 60 years (38.3%) ,while the de-pression incidence in patients ≥60 years(61.7% ) was higher than patients <60 years(42.0% ) ,both with signifi-cant differences ( all P<0.05 ). Conclusion FD patients show the psychological characteristics of anxiety and de-pression, and the characteristics type may vary in different age groups.
