The etiology and pathogenesis of intrahepatic cholestasis are complex,and those are not still very clear in current.Studies suggest that genetic factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of the disease.Some familial cholestasis have been confirmed by gene mutation causing.Bile secretion process regulated by a number of bile relation gene at the molecular level.Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) gene is related to intrahepatic bile secretion process.Bile secretion is indirect control by FXR which formats a complex network,becoming more attention to researcher in recent years.

AIM: To study the efficacy and adverse reactions of carnitine on patients with acute cerebral infarction.　METHODS: One hundred and thirty-five patients with acute cerebral infarction diagnosed by CT or MRI were randomly divided into 2 groups, on the basis of conventional therapy. Sixty-eight patients in carnitine group (M37,F31; age 60 a± s 17 a) received carnitine 2-3g, iv, drip, qd for 28 d. The other 67 patients of control group (M39, F28; age 63 a±17 a) received compound salvia miltirrhiza 20 mL in dextran-40 glucose injection 500 mL, iv, drip, qd for 28 d.　RESULTS: The total effective rates of carnitine group and control group for acute cerebral infarction were 80％ and 55％, respectively (P<0.05). No adverse reactions were found.　CONCLUSION: Carnitine is safe and effective in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction.

Objective: To explore the effect of hirudin on hyperuricemia rats and its mechanism. Methods: Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group, model group, allopurinol (30 mg/kg) group, hirudin low-, middle- and high-dose (0.2, 0.4, 0.8 g/kg) group. Rats were ig potassium oxonate (0.75 g/kg) to induce hyperglycemia model, once a day for five weeks. And all administration groups were respectively ig corresponding doses of drugs. The level of uric acid in serum and urine of rats were measured by biochemical method; The level of organic anion transporter 1 (OAT1) in kidney was measured by immunohistochemistry; The protein expressions of glucose transporter 9 (GLUT9), OAT1 and urate transporter 1 (URAT1) in kidney were measured by western blotting; The expression levels of GLUT9, OAT1 and URAT1 mRNA in kidney were detected by qRT-PCR. Results: Compared with control group, the level of uric acid in serum and urine of rats in model group was significantly increased (P < 0.01), the expressions of GLUT9, URAT1 mRNA and protein were significantly increased (P < 0.01), the expressions of OAT1 mRNA and protein were significantly decreased (P < 0.01). Compared with model group, the level of uric acid in serum and urine of rats in hirudin group were significantly decreased (P < 0.01), the expressions of GLUT9, URAT1 mRNA and protein were significantly reduced (P < 0.01), the expressions of OAT1 mRNA and protein were significantly increased (P < 0.01). Conclusion Hirudin can reduce the uric acid by regulating the expressions of renal urate transporters OAT1, URAT1 and GLUT9 in hyperuricemia rats.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a serious threat for human health, the incidence of HCC in China accounts for more than 50% worldwide. There is an urgent need to develop novel anticancer agents for the treatment of HCC patients. Here we characterized the inhibitory effect and the molecular mechanism of protopine on HCC cancer cells. The results of a CCK-8 assay indicated that protopine displays anticancer activities on HCC cells. Flow cytometry and JC-1 staining confirmed that treatment with protopine decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential and induced apoptosis in HCC cells. Western blot analysis showed that protopine was able to increase protein expression in the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway; the level of cytochrome C, apoptotic protease activating factor-1 (Apaf-1), Bax, cleaved-poly ADP-ribose polymerase (cleaved-PARP), cleaved-caspase-3, and cleaved-caspase-9 were increased while the expression of Bcl-2 was suppressed significantly. An in vivo study revealed that protopine significantly suppressed the growth of tumors in nude mice bearing HepG2 cells. Administration of protopine intraperitoneally at a concentration of 50 mg·kg^-1 inhibited tumor growth by 72.46%. Animal experiments were carried out according to the Regulation of the Animal Ethics Committee of Southwest Medical University. This study provides preliminary evidence that there is potential to develop protopine as a lead compound for the treatment of HCC.

OBJECTIVE:To prevent and reduce the occurrence of hospital onset of infection of fungus in our hospi-tal.METHODS:The case history of patients with fungus infection in our hospital during the period from October2002to September2004were consulted and analyzed.RESULTS:Of the107patients with fungus infection in our hospital,72%of whom were above the age of60;the predilection sites were respiratory tract which accounted for81.3%,digestive which ac-counted for14.0%and urinary tract which accounted for10.3%;the main pathogenic bacteria were Candida albicans which accounted for92.5%of the total.All of the infected people were found to have used broad-spectrum antibiotics in a large quantity and some had used corticoid drugs.CONCLUSION:Rational drug use of broad-spectrum antibiotics and corticoid is an important means to prevent hospital onset of infection of fungus.

Objective:To investigate YKL-40-mediated inflammation in human bronchial epithelial cells and analyzed the soluble factors secreted by bronchial epithelial cells exposed to YKL-40 that were responsible for increasing proliferation and migration of primary normal human bronchial smooth muscle cells (BSMCs).Methods:YKL-40-induced inflammation was assayed in two human bronchial epithelial cells (BEAS-2B cell line and primary human bronchial epithelial cells ,namely HBECs).In addition,we treated BEAS-2B cells and HBECs with YKL-40,and added the conditioned culture media ( YKL-40-BEAS-2B-CM) and ( YKL-40-HBECs-CM) to BSMCs.The proliferation and migration of BSMCs were determined by premixed WST-1 cell proliferation reagent and QCM chemotaxis migration assay ,respectively.Results: Bronchial epithelial cells treated with YKL-40 resulted in a significant increase of IL-8 production,but have no effect about RANTES ,Eotaxin and TNF-α.YKL-40-BEAS-2B-CM and YKL-40-HBECs-CM induced IL-8 was found to further stimulate proliferation and migration of BSMCs ,and the effects were inhibited after neutralizing IL-8.Conclusion:Through investigating the interaction of airway epithelium and smooth muscle ,our findings implicate that YKL-40 may be involved in the inflammation of asthma by induction of IL-8 from epithelium,subsequently contributing to BSMCs proliferation and migration.Moreover, inhibition of IL-8 signaling is a potential therapeutic target for YKL-40-induced inflammation and remodeling of asthma.

OBJECTIVE: There exists a close relationship between drying of a fresh herb and its preservation and extraction of efficient components. In order to investigate the influences of different drying methods on extraction and separation of ginsenosides, three drying processes, such as drying in the sun, drying in oven and microwave drying, were used to dry fresh ginsengs. METHODS: The ginsenosides of the dry ginsengs were extracted by poaching and microwave heating, and were separated by foam separation. The concentrations of ginsenosides were measured. RESULTS: Microwave drying saved both time and labor, and was favorable for release of ginsenosides. The ginsenosides could be extracted from the dry ginsengs in a shorter time by microwave heating than poaching. The ginsenosides Rb1, Rb2, Rd could be observably concentrated by foam separation. CONCLUSION: Microwave drying and microwave assisted extraction are efficient and economic methods with a high recovery yield of ginsenosides.
