Objective To observe the effect of Huanglian Jiedu Decoction ( HJD) for the treatment of dyslipidemia, thus to provide evidence for the prevention and treatment of dyslipidemia with traditional Chinese medicine. Methods A total of 80 dyslipidemia patients were randomized into HJD group ( 50 cases) and simvastatin group ( 30 cases) . After treatment for 4 weeks, blood lipid levels, metabolic parameters and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels were detected. Results (1) After treatment, HJD group and simvastatin group both had lower total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels (P<0.01 compared with those before treatment), and HJD group had higher high density lipoprotein cholesterol than that before treatment ( P<0.05), but the differences of TC, TG, low and high density lipoprotein cholesterol were insignificant between the two groups ( P>0.05). ( 2) After treatment, uric acid was reduced in HJD group ( P<0.05) , but fasting blood glucose only showed a decreasing trend and the other metabolic parameters stayed unchanged ( P>0.05). The inter-group comparison showed that HJD had lower blood glucose level than simvastatin group, and the difference had statisticall significance ( P<0.05). ( 3) During the treatment, the patients showed good compliance, and had no obvious hepatic or renal damage. Conclusion HJD could reduce TC, TG and low density lipoprotein cholesterol, and increase high density lipoprotein cholesterol of dyslipidemia patients, the effect being similar to simvastatin. HJD could also significantly reduce uric acid of dyslipidemia patients, showing good safety.

Objective: To explore the relationship between non-dipper pattern of blood pressure circadian rhythm and homocysteine (Hcy), carotid atherosclerosis (CAS) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: A total of 240 T2DM patients including 139 male and 101 female were enrolled. According tonocturnal blood pressure falling rates, the patients were divided into 2 groups: Dipper group,n=80 and Non-dipper group,n=160; based on CAS condition, the patients were divided into another set of 2 groups: CAS group,n=119 and Non-CAS group,n=121. Blood levels of Hcy, carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) and 24hSBP, dSBP, nSBP, 24hDBP, dDBP, nDBP were compared between 2 groups in each set; the risk factors of CAS were analyzed. Results: The following indexes were higher in Non-dipper group than Dipper group: Hcy by μmol/L (16.41.0±8.08 vs 12.55±4.07), CIMT by mm (1.00±0.59 vs 0.80±0.30), 24 hSBP by mmHg (138.7±19.2 vs 127.5±15.6), dSBP (139.4±19.2 vs 132.0±16.2), nSBP (136.4±20.0 vs 113.8±15.0), nDBP (74.0±12.0 vs 64.9±9.8), allP<0.01. Multi linear regression analysis indicated that Hcy (β=0.011,P<0.01), nSBP (β=0.021,P<0.01), nDBP (β=0.018,P<0.01) could affect blood pressure circadian rhythm. The following indexes were higher in CAS group than Non-CAS group: CIMT (1.18±0.65 vs 0.69±0.72), age by years (62.33±12.02 vs 59.17±10.80), 24 hSBP (138.2±18.2 vs 131.9±18.9), dSBP (139.5±18.4 vs 134.4±18.5), nSBP (133.9±20.7 vs 123.9±20.9) nDBP (73.3±12.8 vs 68.6±11.0),P<0.05 orP<0.01; while 2 indicators in CAS group were lower than Non-CAS group: SBPF (4.00±7.89 vs 7.66±7.36), DBPF (5.95±8.44 vs 10.19±8.67),P<0.01. Logistic regression analysis showed that age (OR=2.204,P<0.05), nDBP (OR=2.357,P<0.05), SBPF (OR=2.562,P<0.01) were the risk factors for carotid atherosclerosis. Spearman correlation analysis presented that CIMT was positively related to age (0.195,P<0.05) and negatively related to SBPF (r=-0.191,P<0.01). Conclusion: T2DM patients with non-dipper pattern of blood pressure circadian rhythm were usually combining high blood level of Hcy, non-dipper pattern was the independent risk factor for CAS. Restoring blood pressure circadian rhythm is important to prevent atherosclerosis.

AIM: The objectives of the present study were to examine the effect of iron on relaxation of isolated rat aortic rings,and to elucidate the underlying mechanism. METHODS: The thoracic aortic rings of male Sprague-Dawley rats were mounted on bath system. Vasodilatation of aortic rings preconstricted with 10 -6 mol/L of phenylephrine (PE) was measured. RESULTS: (1) Exposure of endothelium-intact aortic rings to ferric ammonium citrate (FAC) for 30 min caused a significant reduction in the relaxation response to acetylcholine (ACh). Pretreatment with L-arginine (L-Arg) before incubation with FAC did not reverse the inhibition of relaxation response to ACh completely. (2) In endothelium-intact aortic rings,L-Arg relaxed the PE preconstricted vessels. Exposure to FAC for 30 min caused the decrease in the relaxation response to L-Arg. There was no difference in the relaxation response to nitric oxide donor,sodium nitroprusside, between endothelium-denuded arteries treated with or without FAC. (3) Dimethyl sulfoxide had no effect on the inhibition of relaxation to ACh by FAC in endothelium-intact rings. Pretreatment of arteries with glutathione and catalase prevented the decrease in relaxation responses to ACh induced by FAC. (4) The nitric oxide synthase activity was (56.49?2.49)?10 3U/g protein in normal aorta with endothelium,while after incubation with FAC for 30 min,it reduced to (25.15?5.75)?10 3U/g protein ( P

A novel 2-( 2’-hydroxy-5’-chlorophenyl )-6-chloro-4 ( 3 H )-quinazolinone ( ELF-97 )-based fluorescent probe (P1) for hydrogen peroxide was prepared from 5-chlorosalicylaldehyde, 4-(bromomethyl) phenylboronic acid and 2-amino-5-chlorobenzamide, and its structure was characterized by 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR and HRMS. Weak fluorescence intensity was observed at 425nm when the solution of probe P1 was excited by 360 nm UV light. After addition of H2 O2 , however, emission peak at 425 nm disappeared while strong peak emission at 515 nm appeared with the same excitation wavelength ( 360 nm ) . The fluorescence intensity at 515 nm was dependent on the concentration of H2 O2 in the linear response range of 5-45 μmol/L. The detection limit of H2O2 was 0. 1 μmol/L (S/N=3) and the recovery rates of added H2O2 in milk were in the range of 94 . 0%-106 . 0%. Probe P1 was potential to become a useful tool for rapid detection of hydrogen peroxide.
