Objective To discuss Buyang-huanwu decoction preventing the formation of lower limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after major orthopedic surgery.Methods 60 patients were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group.The treatment group was treated with oral liquid of Buyang-huanwu,twice a day; while the control group was treated with 5000IU of low molecular heparin through subcutaneous injection,once daily.Prothrombin time (PT),activated partial thromboplatin time (APTT),fibrinogen (FIB),D-dimer,lower limb deep vein color B ultrasonic and the wound flow changes after 48 hours were observed at 1st,7th,and 14th day after medication.Results ①)Comparison on the incidence of DVT:The incidence of DVT in the treatment group was higher than the control group at 7th day after medication,this incidence turn to equal in the two groups at the 14th day after medication,while at the end of therapy,the incidence of DVT in the treatment group was lower than the control group with significant difference (P<0.05).②Comparison on D-dimer changes:D-dimer at the 1st and 14th day were (0.782 ± 0.472) mg/1 and (0.320 ± 0.102) mg/1 in the treatment group and (0.720±0.421)mg/1 and (0.417 ± 0.217) mg/l in the control group.Comparing with the same group before treatment [the treatment group was(0.548±0.245)mg/1; the control group was (0.560±0.195) mg/l],D-dimer was increased at the 1 st day with obvious difference (P< 0.05),but reduced at the 14th day,without statistical difference (P>0.05).Conclusion Buyang-huanwu decoction did not show good effects as low molecular heparin at the beginning of the treatment,but the its whole therapeutic effects and safety was better in treating lower limb deep vein thrombosis after major orthopedic surgery.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the antiproliferation effects of aloe-emodin on growth of gastric cancer cells and cell cycle arrest.Methods Human gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells were treated with 2.5,5,10,20,and 40 ?mol/L aloe-emodin for 1—5 d.The cell growth was determined by MTT assay.Cell proliferation and cycle distributions were analyzed by flow cytometry.Western blotting assay was used to detect the changes of cell cycle regulators,cyclins,and cyclin-dependent kinases(CDK).Results Aloe-emodin inhibited the growth of gastric cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner.Treatment of aloe-emodin resulted in cell cycle arresting at G2/M phase.Its molecular mechanisms involved the decrease of the expression of cyclin A and CDK2,the increase of the expression of cyclin B1 and CDK1.Conclusion One of the antitumor mechanism of aloe-emodin on the growth of gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells is to arrest the cell cycle,which indicates that aloe-emodin has a potential value for the treatment of gastric cancer in clinic.

Objective:To explore bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) inhibition in the regulation of vascular endothelial cells activation and early atherosclerosis formation and its potential molecular mechanisms.Methods:1.Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and mouse heart endothelial cells (MHEC) were isolated,and tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) was used to activate in flammatory genes transcription in the presence or absence of JQ1,a specific BET inhibitor.The groups are as follows:(1)Normal control group;(2) TNFα(25 ng/mL)group;(3) TNFα+JQ 1 group.The gene mRNA and protein expression of inflammatory cytokines were measured by both real-time PCR and flow cytometry (FCM).2.LDL receptor-deficient (LDLR-/-) mice were randomly divided into 2 groups:JQ1 group (n=8,JQlintraperitoneal,50 mg/kg,daily) and control group (n=8,DMSO,daily).After 8 weeks feeding with high cholesterol diet,vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) expression in aortic arch was measured by immunohistochemistry.The activity of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling was monitored by 5XκB luciferase reporter assay in HEK293.Results:TNFα dramatically induced the mRNA and protein expression of inflammatory genes and JQ 1 significantly downregulated the induction of them (E-selectin,P-selectin,VCAM-1,IL-8)(P<0.01).Immunohistochemistry detection indicated that JQ1 significantly downregulated the expression of VCAM-1 in aortic arch induced by 8 weeks high cholesterol diet feeding comparing to control group.In addition,BET bromodomain inhibition downregulated TNFα upregulated NF-κB transcriptional activity (P<0.01).Conclusions:Our study demonstrated that BET bromodomain was involved in NF-κB mediated inflammatory genes expression;inhibition of BET bromodomain suppressed vascular endothelial activation in vitro,and attenuated early atherogenesis in vivo.

Objective To study the expressions of α1-AT and VEGF-C in human bronchoalveolarcarcinorrm, and the relation of the expression to the patholo~cM differentiation and clinical stage. Methods All 49 Darffin embedding samples of patients with bronchoalveolar carcinoma were studied. α1-AT and VEGF-C were detected by immunohistochemical SP method.Automated image analyzer was used to quantify α1-AT and VEGF-C expressions.Results The immunohistochemical positive stainings of α1-AT and VEGF-C in brown or dark brown were located in cytopla8m.The expression levels of α1-AT and VEGF-C were not related with the gender,age,tumor position and size,and histology subtypos(P>0.05).It Was found that the expression of α1-AT in patients with local lymph node metastasis was significantly lower than those without node metastasis(P<0.001).It was found that the expression of VEGF-C in patients with local node metastasis significantly higher than th08e without node metastasis(P<0.001).There Was a negative correlation between the expression level of α1-AT and the expression level of VEGF-C in bronchoalveolar carcinoma(r=-0.324,P<0.05).Conclusion α1-AT and VEGF-C could be secreted by bronehoalveolar carcinoma.Bronehoalveolar carcinoma with lower α1-AT expression and higher VEGF-C expression is more likely to have lymph node metastasis.Lower α1-AT expression and higher VEGF-C expression can participate in the mechanism of lymph node metastasis in carcinoma together.

Objective:
To investigate the factors affecting macular degeneration (MD) in middle-aged and elderly populations, so as to provide the reference for prevention and treatment of MD.
Methods:
People at ages of 50 years and older who were admitted to ophthalmology department of Hangzhou First People's Hospital and received MD screening were selected as the study subjects. General information including age, gender, eye-using habits and family history of MD were collected by questionnaire surveys. MD was diagnosed by ophthalmological examination, and the prevalence of MD in middle-aged and elderly people was analyzed. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to identify the influencing factors of MD.
Results:
A total of 2 832 people were investigated, including 1 527 males (53.92%) and 1 305 females (46.08%), and 1 878 people (66.31%) aged 70 years and older. There were 498 people (17.58%) with good eye-using habits, 1 180 (41.67%) with general eye-using habits and 1 154 (40.75%) with poor eye-using habits. There were 1 817 people with family history of MD (64.16%). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that people at ages of 70 years and older (OR=2.815, 95%CI: 1.350-5.871), with poor eye-using habits (OR=2.354, 95%CI: 1.373-4.035), with family history of MD (OR=2.782, 95%CI: 1.138-6.799), with cataract (OR=2.593, 95%CI: 1.157-5.815) and with visual central defect (OR=2.601, 95%CI: 1.252-5.404) had a higher risk of MD.
Conclusion
Age, eye-using habits, family history of MD, cataract and visual central defect are influencing factors for MD in middle-aged and elderly populations.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of B-type natriuretic peptide(BNP) in the process of fluid resuscita-tion with different crystalloid-colloid ratio in the patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) .Methods Clinical data of 85 SAP patients were analyzed retrospectively in the Emergency Center of Chongqing during January of 2010 to December of 2012 .Early goal-directed therapy(EGDT) was confirmed the end criterion of the end point of resuscitation .Low crystalloid-colloid ratio group (n=45) and high crystalloid-colloid ratio group(n=40) were divided according to crystalloid-colloid ratio (3∶1) as the borderline , BNP were observed at the time point of before fluid resuscitation ,and 1 ,2 ,3 days after resuscitation and the day before discharge . Results Different fluid resuscitation of crystalloid-colloid ratio could improve hemodynamics in patients ,BNP increased with the to-tal amount of resuscitation liquid ,were positively correlated with liquid volume .The total amount of fluid of the high crystalloid-colloid ratio group was significantly higher than that of the low crystalloid-colloid ratio group .Conclusion BNP could guide early fluid resuscitation and low crystalloid-colloid ratio should be adopted for SAP patients .
