OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of atorvastatin combined with allopurinol on blood lipid and blood uric acid in patients with hyperlipidemia and hyperuricemia. METHODS:90 patients with hyperlipidemia and hyperuricemia were randomly di-vided into group A,group B and group C. Group A was orally given 0.1 g Allopurinol tablet,once a day+30 mg Atorvastatin calci-um tablet,once a day. Group B was given Atorvastatin calcium tablet(the same dose with group A). Group C was given Allopuri-nol tablet (the same dose with group A). The treatment course for all groups was 4 weeks. TG,TC,LDL,HDL,UA,BUN, ALT and CK before and after treatment,and incidence of adverse reactions in all groups were observed. RESULTS:After treat-ment,TG,TC and LDL in all groups were significantly lower than before,group A and B were lower than group C,the differenc-es were statistically significant (P<0.05);UA in all groups was significantly lower than before,group A and B were lower than group C,group A was lower than group B,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05);ALT in group A and B,CK in all groups and BUN levels in group A and group C were significantly higher than before,CK in group A and group B higher than group C,group A was higher than group B,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). And there was no significant dif-ference in the incidence of adverse reactions among all groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Atorvastatin combined with allopurinol can significantly reduce the blood lipid and blood uric acid levels of patients,with good safety.

In 2010, the artificial synthesis of Mycoplasma mycoides triggers the new era of synthetic biology. This great breakthrough is achieved mainly thanks to the powerful DNA recombinant ability of yeast. In recent years, except for the methods used for large DNA assembly on the basis of in vivo homologous recombination, various different DNA assembly methods in vitro, based on the concept of DNA ligation or polymerization, have also been developed, such as Biobrick\BglBrick, SLIC and Gibson one-step assembly. Application of these new technologies has greatly accelerated the construction of synthetic part libraries, biosynthetic pathway and even microbial chromosomes. In fact, all DNA assembly methods are derived from the combinations of DNA joining and organizational schemes. This review describes the brief introduction of the main in vivo and in vitro DNA assembly protocols developed so for, which will benefit the construction of different types of synthetic functional devices and also biosynthetic pathways in the research of synthetic biology in China.

Objective To study the feasibility and safety for using anesthesia gastroscopy in aged-patients over 80 years old.Methods Selecting 84 cases of aged-patients over 80 years old as anesthesia group(group 1),22 cases of aged-patients over 80 years old as normal gastroscopy group(group 2)and 100 cases of young-middle age as anesthesia control group(group 3).Low dose propofol and fentanyl combined atropine were injected into venous in anesthesia gastroscopy.The BP,HR,SpO2,patients reactions during gastroscopy,stomach peristalsis rates,awake time were detected before,during and after gastroscopy.Results Patients in group 1 felt much less discomfortable than those in group 2.Anesthesia group felt much satisfactorily than normal gastroscopy group.The BP,HR,SpO2 in group 1 were decreased transitorily during examination and resumed rapidly after examination.There were no severe complications in anesthesia gastroscopy.However,the BP and HR were increased obviously in normal gastroscopy group.The dosage of propofol in group 1 was much less than that in group 3.Conclusions The use of anesthesia gastroscopy with low dose propofol and fentanyl combined atropine intravenously in aged-patients over 80 years old is safe and comfortable.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the salvage therapy for a child with refractory and ( or) repeatedly-relapsed Langerhans cell histiocytosis.

METHODData of a patient with Langerhans cell histiocytosis whose disease relapsed repeatedly treated with cladribine was collected and analyzed and the related literature was reviewed.

RESULTThe initial symptoms developed 3 months after his birth, multiple systems (skin, skeleton, lung, liver) were involved; he was sequentially treated with LCH-III-Group I, JLSG-96, DAL-HX90 chemotherapeutic regimens. The patient got relapses for more than 3 times, but the disease got completely controlled after being treated with cladribine when the patient was 6 years old. The dosage was 10 mg/(m2 · d) for 4 days, and one course lasted for 28 days, the third to fifth courses of treatment used Arac in combination, the whole treating time lasted for 5 months. The patient remained in persistent remission for 8 months since discontinuation of treatment. "Langerhans cell histiocytosis" "refractory" "cladribine" were used as the key words to search in the data bases CNKI, Wanfangdata and Pubmed, 11 articles were picked. According to the literature, the effective rate of cladribine in treatment of repeatedly relapsing Langerhans cell histiocytosis was 44%-100%, with a good response of 22%-86%, the dose was 5-13 mg/(m2 · d). The main side effects were hematological system damages and infection.

CONCLUSIONThe effect of commonly used chemotherapeutic regimens is limited for children with refractory and (or) repeatedly-relapsed Langerhans cell histiocytosis and cladribine can be used as an alternative therapeutic option of the salvage therapy.
