Objective To analyze the molecular biological mechanism of tanshinone IIA in the treatment of coronary heart disease (CHD) based on network pharmacology and bioinformatics methods. Methods The targets of tanshinone IIA were screened by uploading the chemical structure to PharmMapper database. Related targets of CHD were screened by OMIM, GeneCards, and CTD databases. The above data were imported into STRING database for PPI network analysis. Protein interaction network was constructed using Cytoscape. Gene Ontology analysis and enrichment analysis of KEGG signaling pathway were performed by Cluego. Systemsdock database was used for system molecular docking, and iGEMDOCK software was used for molecular docking to test the binding of tanshinone IIA to the targets of coronary heart disease. Results A total of 173 possible potential targets of tanshinone IIA, 42 targets related to CHD and 49 signal pathways were identified. Conclusion Tanshinone IIA has the characteristics of multi-target and multi-pathway in the treatment of CHD, and its mechanism may be through the regulation of blood pressure, cell metabolism, angiogenesis, endocrine, reactive oxygen metabolism, and other bioprocesses during the development of CHD.

Objective To establish nursing intervention for patients with diabetes mellitus and discuss in-fluence of community nursing on rehabilitation of patients with diabetes mellitus. Methods Patients with con-finned diagnosis of type two diabetes mellitus (61 cases) were selected,individual health records were established and health education was given to them,including diet,exercises,psychological nursing,medication instruction and regular blood glucose monitoring. Patients compliance,control of fasting blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin were compared before and after nursing intervention. Results Patients compliance such as regular physical ex-amination,diet control,regular blood glucose monitoring and exercises treatment improved after intervention com-pared with those before community intervention (P<0.05). The control of fasting blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin was better after intervention compared with those before community intervention (P<0.01). Con-clusion Community nursing intervention for patients with diabetes mellitus proved to have good effect.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of Actinidia chinensis Planch polysaccharide (ACPS) on the growth and apoptosis of human gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells, and to explore the effect of SGC-7901 cells on p-p38 expression.

METHODSThe inhibition rates at different concentrations of ACPS on SGC-7901 cells at 24, 48, and 72 h were detected using CCK-8 method. Apoptosis ratios in SGC-7901 were determined by flow cytometry after 48-h treatment of different concentrations of ACPS. The expression of pro-caspase-9, PARP, and p-p38 in SGC-7901 cells after treated by different concentrations of ACPS was detected using Western blot. The expression of pro-caspase-9, PARP, and p-p38 was detected after SGC-7901 cells were pre-treated by p38 specific inhibitor.

RESULTSCompared with the control group, the optical density of SGC-7901 cells decreased after treated by 1, 2.5, 5, and 10 mg/mL ACPS (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, the longer the acting time, the lower the optic density (P < 0.01). IC50 was 7.43 mg/mL at 24 h; 3.88 mg/mL at 48 h, and 1.32 mg/mL at 72 h respectively. ACPS suppressed the protein expression of pro-caspase-9 (P < 0.01) and up-regulated the expression of PARP (89KD) (both P < 0.01). Further study showed that the protein expression of p-p38 was up-regulated in SGC-7901 cells treated by ACPS of different concentrations at 24 h (P < 0.05). The expression of phosphorylation p38 and the ACPS induced apoptosis of SGC-7901 cells could be inhibited after treated by specific inhibitor for 2 h.

CONCLUSIONSACPS could inhibit the growth of SGC-7901 cells and induce apoptosis. The underlying mechanism of inducing apoptosis was partially due to activating the p38MAPK path and further activating Caspase9 and PARP, finally leading to cell death.

Percutaneous vertebroplasty has many advantages such as minimal trauma, simple mode of operation, rapid and correct therapeutic effect, high safety, and wide indications. Therefore it has been generally paid close attention and accepted. Percutaneous vertebroplasty has conspicuous curative effect, especially in vertebral compression fracture. Polymethyl methacrylate is the most used filling materials at present; There is not significant difference between unipedicular and bipedicular vertebroplasty; Using vertebral body venography and appropriate dense bone cement can reduce leakage of bone cement; Bolster for self-replacement can rebound vertebral body height, and balloon kyphoplasty and sky bone expander kyphoplasty can be avoided; In order to reduce refracture of vertebral body, anti-osteoporosis drugs should be used in the treatment of percutaneous vertebroplasty.

AIM: To study the protection of extract of Radix Atragali composite against acute hepatic injury. METHODS: Fed with the extract of Radix Atragali composite, m ice were injected with D-galactosamine intraperitoneally (800 mg/kg) and rats were i njected with carbon tetrachloride hypodermically (5 mL/kg) to induce acute hepat ic injury on the 8th day. ALT, AST and bilirubin in serum were examined. Patholo gical changes of liver tissue were observed. RESULTS: Compared with model group, activities of ALT and AST, c oncentrations of bilirubin were markedly decreased and pathological scores also showed that degeneration and necrosis of hepatic cell were lighter in the the ex tract of Radix Atragali composite treatment group. CONCLUSION: The extract of Radix Atragali composite attenuat es hepatic injury induced by D-galactosamine or carbon tetrachloride.

Objective To study the intestinal microflora changes in children with Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura (HSP). Methods The feces of 64 children with HSP (the experimental group) and 25 healthy children (the control group) were collected. 16S rRNA/DNA fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction were performed to detect bacterial content of Lactobacillus, Biifdobacterium and Escherichia coli in feces. Results The amounts of Lactobacillus, and Biifdobacterium in the HSP group were lower than those of the healthy group, and the amounts of E.coli were higher, but the differences were not statistically signiifcant. The amounts of Lactobacillus and Biifdobacterium in the HSP children with gastrointestinal symptoms (abdominal pain, vomiting, e.g.) were signiifcantly lower than those in HSP children without gastrointestinal symptoms and in the healthy group. The difference was signiifcant (P<0.05). Conclusions It suggests that intestinal microlfora in children with HSP in acute phase may exist disorders, especially in the HSP children with gastrointestinal symptoms.

AIM: To investigate the preoperative binocular visual function of intermittent exotropia and the rebuilding and recovery of the postoperative binocular visual function, and analyze the effect of binocular visual function on orthophoria after surgery.
METHODS:From January 2011 to January 2014, 47 basic intermittent exotropia patients caming for treatment were collected in the clinical data. The changes in their near stereopsis, binocular visual function, binocular fusion and distance stereopsis after operations were recorded in the form of data. The preoperative binocular vision and the postoperative rebuilding were analyzed and contrasted with each other. In addition, the effect on the postoperative maintaining of orthophoria due to the existence, recovery and rebuilding of binocular visual function were observed.
RESULTS:Intermittent exotropia patients got damage in different levels on their binocular visual functions, especially on distance stereopsis, which was the heaviest and earliest. After the operation, all functions were obviously recovered and reconstructed and the improvements were statistically significant compared against those before the operation (P<0. 01). Patients having binocular visual function or part of it before the operation had a higher ratio of orthophoria compared against the patients who had lost binocular visual function before the operation and the difference was statistically significant (P<0. 01). The recovery and reconstruction of the postoperative binocular visual function played an important role in maintaining the orthophoria.
CONCLUSION: The intermittent exotropia cause damage to the stereopsis which happened the earliest. Obvious recovery and reconstruction of binocular visual function can be observed after the surgery. A relatively good preoperative binocular visual function may lead to the increase in the ratio of orthophoria or cure the intermittent exotropia. Performing an operation when distance stereopsis is damaged can increase the success rate for the surgery and reduce the recurrence rate.
