Objective To observe the effect of Professor Deng Tietao’s Brain-strengthening Recipe 1 on learning and memory abilities of rats with vascular dementia, and to explore its molecular biology mechanism. Methods The vascular dementia rat model was established by permanent occlusion of the bilateral arteria carotis communis. Sixty male SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups, namely sham-operation group, model group, nimodipine (5.4 mg·kg-1·d-1) group, and high-and low-dose Chinese medicine groups (57.6 and 14.4 g·kg-1·d-1, respecitvely) . After medication for 30 days, the learning and memory abilities were evaluated by Morris water maze test. The histological changes of the rat hippocampal tissues were observed after HE staining, and the mRNA expression of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor subunit 2B ( NR2B) in rat hippocampus was measured by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) . Results The water maze test results showed that the escape latency of the rats in the sham-operation group was significantly decreased on the third day, and was significantly decreased in the high-dose Chinese medicine group on the fourth day ( P<0.05 compared with the model group). The results of spatial probe test showed that the times of rats passing through the platform within 60 seconds were significantly higher in high-dose Chinese medicine group ( P<0.01compared with the model group) , but the time for rat staying at the quadrant of the platform in the other four groups did not differ from that in the model group ( P>0.05). HE staining results for the model group were presented as the absence of neural cells in hippocampus CA1 region, karyorrhexis of nerve cells, indistinctness of nuclear membrane, disappearance of nucleolus, shrinkage of nerve cells, increase of cytoplasm acidophily, and reactive hyperplasia of astrocytes. And in the hippocampal CA1 region of high- and low-dose Chinese medicine groups, the injured neural cells were found, and the lesions were slighter than those of the model group. Compared with the model group, the mRNA expression of NR2B was increased in nimodipine group and high-dose Chinese medicine group ( P<0.05) . The mRNA expression of NR2B showed a increasing trend in low-dose Chinese medicine group, but the differences were insignificant compared with that of the model group ( P>0.05). Conclusion Brain-strengthening Recipe 1 has obvious effects on improving the learning and memory abilities of vascular dementia rats, and the therapeutic mechanism is associated with reduction of the degree of neuronal damage in hippocampus and with the upregulation of the mRNA expression of NR2B.

Objective To analyze the adverse drug reactions(ADRs)of edaravone in treatment of patients with acute cerebral infarction(ACI)by reviewing Chinese medical literature and to evaluate safety of edaravone treatment in ACI.Methods Publications from Pubmed and Chinese Biomedical Literature Datababe(CBMdisc)were reviewed and the ADR of edaravone was analyzed among the published 8645 cases.Literatures about randomed-control clinical trails(RCTs)on security of edaravone for treating ACI Was analyzed by meta-analysis.Results Abnormal hepatic function,especially mild elevation of aminotransferase,renal dysfunction and skin rash induced by edaravone were tIle most common ADRs.Among 8645 patients,ADRs were reported in 283(3.27 % ).The meta-analysis in RCTs showed that between the group treated with a combination of edaravone and routine and the group treated with routine treatment only,there was no significant difference in the occurrence rate of ADRs(OR=1.18,95 % CI0.70-2.00,P=0.536),elevation of aminotransferase(OR=1.23,95 % CI 0.57-2.68,P=0.595)or renal dysfunction including albuminutia,increased level of serum ereatinine and nitrogen(OR=1.65.95 % CI0.57- 4.79.P=0.353).Conclusion Edaravone has a low ADRs OCCurrence rate and iS safely used in cerebral infarction treatment.

Hepatitis E, caused by hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection, usually leads to an acute clinical course, and is the most common diagnosis among cases of acute viral hepatitis. From 2008, there have been increasing reports of chronic HEV infection in immunocompromised patients such as organ transplant recipients. Without intervention with antiviral treatment, approximately 60% of HEV infections in organ transplant recipients evolve into chronic HEV infections. Of these chronic hepatitis E patients, 10% may develop liver fibrosis and progress to liver cirrhosis. This article reviews chronic HEV infection and treatment in organ transplant recipients.

Herpes zoster ( HZ, also known as shingles) , caused by reactivation of latent varicella zoster virus ( VZV) , is a viral disease characterized by a painful skin rash with blisters involving a limited area. Elderly individuals older than fifty years of age are at increased risk of contracting HZ. In China, HZ becomes a significant health burden along with population aging. The virological characteristics, clinical di-agnosis, epidemiological characteristics of HZ are summarized in this review. Moreover, the burden of HZ, risk factors as well as the prevention and control of HZ are also discussed.

Objective To investigate the effect of penehyclidine hydrochloride ( PHC) pretreat?ment on nuclear factor erythroid 2?related factor 2∕heme oxygenase?1 ( Nrf2∕HO?1) signaling pathway in re?nal tissues of rats with rhabdomyolysis?induced acute kidney injury ( AKI) . Methods Thirty?six pathogen?free male Sprague?Dawley rats, weighing 200-220 g, were assigned into 3 groups ( n=12 each) using a random number table: control group (group C), group AKI and PHC pretreatment group (group PHC). Rhabdomyolysis was induced by intramuscular injection of 50% glycerol 10 ml∕kg in bilateral hindlimbs. PHC 0?2 mg∕kg was injected intraperitoneally at 30 min before glycerol was injected intramuscularly in group PHC. At 1 and 6 h after glycerol injection, serum was collected for determination of blood urea nitro?gen ( BUN) and creatinine ( Cr) concentrations, and bilateral kidneys were harvested for pathological ex?amination and for determination of HO?1 activity and expression of Nrf2 mRNA and HO?1 mRNA ( by quan?titative real?time polymerase chain reaction) , Nrf2 in nucleoprotein and total protein and HO?1 in total pro?tein in renal tissues ( by Western blot) . The damage to the renal tubules was scored. Results Compared with group C, the BUN and Cr concentrations in serum and renal tubular damage scores were significantly increased, the expression of Nrf2 in nucleoprotein and total protein and HO?1 in total protein was signifi?cantly up?regulated, and HO?1 activity was significantly increased in AKI and PHC groups, the expression of HO?1 mRNA was significantly up?regulated in group AKI, and the expression of Nrf2 mRNA and HO?1 mRNA was significantly up?regulated in group PHC (P<0?01 or 0?05). Compared with group AKI, the BUN and Cr concentrations in serum and renal tubular damage scores were significantly decreased, the ex?pression of Nrf2 in nucleoprotein and total protein and HO?1 in total protein was significantly up?regulated, and HO?1 activity was significantly increased in group PHC ( P<0?01 or 0?05) . Conclusion The mecha?nism by which PHC pretreatment attenuates rhabdomyolysis?induced AKI may be related to activation of Nrf2∕HO?1 signaling pathway in renal tissues of rats.

OBJECTIVE:To systematically review the effectiveness and safety of liraglutide in the body mass loss of patients with overweight and obesity,and provide evidence-based reference for clinical treatment. METHODS:Retrieved from Medline, EMBase,CJFD,Wanfang and VIP,randomized controlled trials(RCT)about liraglutide versus placebo in the treatment of over-weight and obesity were collected. Meta-analysis was performed by using Rev Man 5.1.0 software after data extract. RESULTS:To-tally 8 RCTs were enrolled,involving 3 560 patients. Results of Meta-analysis showed weight loss degree [MD=-1.71,95%Cl (-2.25,-1.17),P<0.001] and the percentage of proportion loss more than 5% to total patients [RR=2.20,95%CI(1.83,2.63), P<0.001] in liraglutide group were significnatly more than blank control group;while the incidences of nausea,vomiting,diar-rhea,mild-to-moderate hypoglycemia and peripheral edema were significantly higher than control group. CONCLUSIONS:Liraglu-tide is effective for overweight and obesity patients. And there is mild adverse reactions but high incidence of gastrointestinal ad-verse reactions,which should be vigilant.
