Objective:To observe the effect of Biqi capsule on human cartilage glycoprotein-39 in peripheral blood monouclear cells,research the possible mechanism of Biqi capsule.Methods: 39 patients with RA and 10 healthy people were selected.Expression levels of human cartilage glycoprotein-39(HCgp-39) mRNA in peripheral blood monouclear cells(PBMC) were detected by Rt-PCR method.Results: Obvious expression of HCgp-39 mRNA was found in patients with RA,the relative expression quantity was(0.7920?0.5240),which has a signifi cant difference(0.3104?0.2519,P=0.024) compared with the healthy controls;expression levels of the HCgp-39 mRNA after treatment were signifi cantly decreased,there were statistically signifi cant differences(0.4755?0.2431,P=0.038) between pre and post treatment.Conclusions: The HCgp-39 mRNA in PBMC of patients with RA were obviously higher than that of healthy ones.These data supported a correlation between the activity of RA and the HCgp-39 mRNA in PBMC;there was a certain fall in the expression levels after treatment,which hinted the immunological regulation of Biqi capsule.

Objective To construct a simultaneous HPLC-UV dual wavelength spectrometry method for detecting three main contents - harpagide, harpagoside and cinnamic acid in Scrophulariae Radix dispensing particles. Methods Ultimate AQ-C18 column (250 mm×4.6 mm, 5μm) was used, with 1%acetic acid solution and acetonitrile as mobile phase of gradient elution. The flow rate was 1.0 mL/min, detection wavelength was 210 nm at former 13 min and 278 nm after 13 min. The column temperature was 30 ℃. Results The linear range of harpagide, harpagoside and cinnamic acid was 0.066 54-0.665 4 μg (r=1.000 0), 0.024 23-0.242 3 μg (r=0.999 9), and 0.100 28-1.002 8 μg (r=0.999 9), respectively. The average recovery (n=6) was 99.80%±1.22%, 100.31%±1.30% and 100.22%±1.24%, respectively. Conclusion The method is simple, repeatable, stable, and can be used for quality control and standardization of Scrophulariae Radix dispensing particles.

Objective To investigate the association between serum glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage(HICH). Methods The level of serum GFAP was detected in 68 patients with HICH by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) and its relationship with bleeding volume,bleeding part,neural deficit score(NDS) and prognosis was analysed, also compared those with the normal control (NC) group. Results Compared with NC group, the levels of serum GFAP in HICH group were increased significantly in 1~14 d after onset (all P20 ng/ml had worse prognosis.Conclusions The level of serum GFAP in patients with HICH is increased significantly, and it is correlate with bleeding volume, condition and prognosis.

[Objective]To describe a new way of arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and evaluate the early stage of follow up results.[Method]Twenty four consecutive cases of isolated and combined posterior cruciate ligament deficiency were studied.Quadriceps tendon patellar bone was used for preparation of "Y" shaped autograft.Double-tunnel of femur were drilled and tibia was inlayed at their anatomical footprint.[Result]All cases were followed up for 24 months to 30months,averaging 24.5 months.Lysholm rating scales were used to make clinical subjective evaluations.Lysholm scores raised from 49.20?1.44 before operation to 87.91?1.52 after operation.Finial Lysholm evaluation showed 7 patients were excellent,16 good,and 1 poor.The good to excellent rate was 95.8%.Anteroposterior translation as clinical objective evaluations was measured with KT-1000.KT1000 arthrometer measurement showed that the average posterior translation improved from 12.85?1.10mm preoperatively to 3.98?1.99mm postoperatively.One patient was graded as failure.[Conclusion]Arthrosopy assisted prodedure of double bundle posterior cruciate ligament reconsruction using quadriceps tendon patellar bone autograft by double-tunnel of femur and inlaying of tibia is effective and reproducible.The short follow up clinical results are encouraging.

Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is a multifunctional protein and regulates a wide variety of cellular bio-effects,such as proliferation,differentiation,migration and apoptosis.Studies have proven that TGF-β is one of the important cytokines that promote fibrosis,and it is confirmed to be closely related to the progression of tumor.Smad signaling is the major pathway in which TGF-β fulfills its functions.These years,it has been found that E3 ubiquitin ligases Arkadia can enhance the biological effect of TGF-β signal transduction pathway through Smad signaling pathway.Therefore,it is increasingly attracting public attention.This study will summarize the effects of Arkadia on TGF-β/Smad signal transduction pathway.

Objective To investigate the role of recombinant Vibrio vulnificus cytolysin (rVvhA) in inducing THP-1 cells damage and study the pathway of associated calcium influx .Methods Inverted mi-croscope, CCK-8 cell proliferation kit, Fluo3/AM staining and caspase activity detection were performed to analyze the damage of THP-1 cells induced by rVvhA and the pathway of calcium influx .Results rVvhA had cytotoxic effects on THP-1 cells in a dose-dependent manner .The concentrations of extracellular K +and LDH were respectively up-regulated after 1 h and 6 h of 12 μg/ml rVvhA intervention .Verapamil , Mibe-fradil and SKF-96365 could not prevent the influx of free Ca 2+induced by rVvhA .The activities of caspase-3 and caspase-9 were singanificantly enhanced by rVvhA in a time-dependant manner .Conclusion rVvhA can induce THP-1 cells damage through triggering extracellular calcium influx via porous channel on cell membrane.Moreover, rVvhA might induce THP-1 cell apoptosis through activating caspase-9/3-dependent pathway .

Pelvic inflammatory disease sequela (chronic pelvic inflammation) is one of the diseases that affect women's health conditions, and leads to large economic burden. Chinese Material Medica (CMM) plays an impor-tant role in treating pelvic inflammatory disease sequela (chronic pelvic inflammatory). However, due to the lack of Evidence-based Pharmacoeconomic Evaluation Technical Essentials of CMM in Treatment of Pelvic Inflamma-tory Disease Sequela (Chronic Pelvic Inflammatory), non-standard phenomenon often appears in the research liter-ature, such as the selection of research methods, viewpoint of research, determination of cost, effect and utility. Thus, the publish of Evidence-based Pharmacoeconomic Evaluation Technical Essentials of CMM in Treatment of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease Sequela (Chronic Pelvic Inflammatory) is essential for the pharmacoeconomic evalua-tion of CMM in treating pelvic inflammatory disease sequela (chronic pelvic inflammatory).

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the economic value of Shenqi fuzheng injection combined with chemotherapy vs. chemo-therapy alone for non-small lung cancer(NSCLC),and to provide reference for drug payment and clinical treatment. METHODS:By prospective cohort design,516 patients with non-small cell lung cancer from 11 hospitals were selected as subjects according to the sale distribution of Shenqi fuzheng injection in district and hospital;267 cases of Shenqi fuzheng injection combined with che-motherapy and 249 cases of chemotherapy alone formed naturally according the clinical therapy plan. The cost-effectiveness and cost-utility analysis were conducted using FACT-L score,KPS score and ZPS score as effect index,QALYs as effectiveness index observation period of 21 d. RESULTS:5 dimensions FACT-L score:the patients of Shenqi fuzheng injection combined with chemo-therapy group could be effectively improved,and the cost-effectiveness ratio was lower than chemotherapy alone group;KPS score:the cost-effectiveness ratio of Shenqi fuzheng injection combined with chemotherapy group was lower than chemotherapy alone group (1 632.44 vs. 11 145.30),and incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was 448.69. ZPS score:Shenqi fuzheng injection combined with chemotherapy group was lower than chemotherapy alone(-17 398.77 vs. 384 513.00). Shenqi fuzheng injection combined with chemotherapy group was lower than chemotherapy alone group in average cost per 1 QALYs(1 313 326 yuan vs. 13 374 365 yuan). CONCLUSIONS:Compared with chemotherapy alone group,Shenqi fuzheng injection combined with chemo-therapy can effectively improve the quality of life,and it is worth of spending more money on Shenqi fuzheng injection from the perspective of the pharmacoeconomics.

Objective To investigate the changes of serum and cord leptin levels in pregnancy induced hypertension(PIH) women and the significance. Methods Immunoradioassay was used to measure the serum and cord blood leptin levels in 50 PIH women (PIH group) and 80 normal pregnant women(normal group).
