Chinese Journal of Biochemical Pharmaceutics 2016;36(6):173-175
Objective To analyse the clinical effect and mechanism of hirudin in the treatment of patients with lower limb venous thrombosis after fracture.Methods 56 patients who were diagnosed with lower limb venous thrombosis after fracture in our hospital were collected.All patients were randomly divided into experimental group (n:28) and control group (n:28).12h after fracture operation, patients in control group were treated with subcutaneous injection of low molecular weight heparin calcium, patients in experimental group were treated with Maixuekang capsule ( hirudin) orally on the basis of control group.Before and after the treatment, the plasma levels of thrombin antithrombin complex ( TAT) , thrombin activated fiber soluble inhibitor (TAFI), D-Dimer (D-D), fibrinogen (FIB), thrombin time (TT), prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and clinical effect were detected in all patients.Results After treatment, the total effective rate of experimental group ( 92.86%) was significantly higher than that of the control group ( 71.43%) ( P<0.05 );compared with control group, the plasma levels of TAT, TAFI were lower in the experimental group (P<0.05); the plasma levels of D-D, FIB were lower in the experimental group (P<0.05); the plasma levels of TT,PT,APTT were higher in the experimental group ( P<0.05 ) .Conclusion The hirudin could inhibit thrombin activation and coagulation function in fracture patients with lower limb venous thrombosis, decrease the plasma D-D and FIB levels for improving blood hypercoagulable state and preventing thrombosis,thus improve the clinical efficacy.

Objective To investigate the regulation of miR-1 and miR-133 a on L-type calcium channel β2 subunit ( Cavβ2 ) and α1C subunit during rat cardiomyocyte hypertrophy .Methods Cardiomyocyte hypertrophy was in-duced by isoproterenol (ISO, 10μmol/L).The targets of miR-1 and miR-133a were predicted by online database microCosm and Targetscan , respectively .The 3′untranslated region sequences of Cavβ2 andα1C were respectively cloned into reporter vector and then transiently transfected into HEK 293 cells.The luciferase activities of samples were measured for demonstrating the expression of luciferase reporter vector .The protein expression of Cavβ2 andα1C were evaluated by Western blot .The expression levels of Cavβ2 andα1C were inhibited by RNAi to determine theeffectsofCavβ2andα1Concardiomyocytehypertrophy.Results 1)Cavβ2wasoneofpotentialtargetsof miR-1,α1C was the one of potential targets of miR-133a.2) The luciferase activities of HEK293 cells with the plasmid containing widetype Cavβ2 3′UTR sequence or α1 C significantly decreased ( P <0.05 , P <0.01 ) . 3 ) Upregulation of the miR-1 and miR-133 a by miR-1 mimic and miR-133 a mimic transfection suppressed pro-tein expression of Cavβ2 and α1C, respectively(P<0.01, P<0.05).4)Downregulation of Cavβ2 andα1C by RNAi could markedly inhibit the increase of cell surface area ( P<0.01 ) , mRNA expression of ANP andβ-MHC (P<0.05).Conclusions Cavβ2 is the target gene of miR-1 and α1C is the target gene of miR-133a.miR-1 and miR-133a can negatively regulate the expression of L-type calcium channel Cavβ2 andα1C subunit, inhibi-ting cardiomyocyte hypertrophy.

Objective To explore the value of strain rate imaging (SRI) technology in the diagnosis of hypertension patient with re-gional left ventricular early diastolic dysfunction. Methods 50 essential hypertension patients were divided into hypertension Group Ⅰ and Group Ⅱ, including 31 patients with normal left ventricular and 19 patients with left ventricular hypertrophy. 25 healthy people were used as the control group. SRI was done in the six different basal myocardial segments and the parameters of SRI were compared with that of Doppler tissue imaging (DTI) and pulse Doppler (PW). Results In the hypertension group, SRe of the six different basal myocardial segments was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05), but (SRa) of hypertension group was higher (P<0.05). SRe was negatively correlated with the patients'illness development (r=-0.89, P<0.05), but SRa was positively correlated (r=0.97, P<0.05). And the SRe/SRa<1 detection rate of Group Ⅱ was higher than that in Group Ⅰ, and the ratio in the control group was lowest(P<0.05). Total detection rate of SRI (88%) was higher than Em/Am <1 of DTI (79.67%) and E/A < 1 of PW(60%), and these changes were more obvious in Group Ⅰ. SRI was higher than DTT and PW (P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with traditional technology and methods, SRI could pro-vide more accurate diagnoses to hypertension patient with regional left ventricular early diastolic dysfunction.

OBJECTIVETo explore the clinical effects of minor bone anchors and palmaris longus tendon graft in treating chronic mallet fingers deformity.
METHODSFrom January 2008 to June 2013, 26 patients with chronic mallet fingers deformity were treated with minor bone anchors and palmaris longus tendon graft. There were 18 males and 8 females, aged from 18 to 52 years old with an average of (32.0±1.3) years. Among them, 8 cases caused by machine injury, 6 cases by fall injury, 6 cases by sprain from fight, 4 cases by tendon spontaneous rupture, 2 cases by knife trauma. There was no tendon attachment of extensor tendon check in 16 cases, and with 0.3 to 0.5 cm tendon attachment in 10 cases. All patients had the flexion deformity and the disability of dorsiflexion activity. During operation, the distal interphalangeal joint was fixed in 10° to 20° dorsiflexion by a Kirshner wire, the minor bone anchor was used to reconstruct the extensor tendon insertion, the palmaris longus tendon slice was transplanted the decayed area of extensor tendon insertion. Four weeks postoperatively, the Kirshner wire was removed and the plaster external fixation was used, and the patient began function exercises. Postoperative complications were observed and fingers functions were assessed according to Dargan standard.
RESULTSThe patients were followed up from 6 to 14 months with an average of (5.0±0.3) months. Wound superficial infection occurred in 2 cases, the skin pressure ulcer in 2 cases, joint activities disability in 1 case; these symptoms got improvement after symptomatic treatment. Traumatic arthritis occurred in 2 cases, 1 case was improved after treatment, and 1 case had chronic pain for a long time. No internal fixation loosening or breakage and tendon rupture were found. According to Dargan standard to evaluate the finger function, 17 cases got excellent results, 8 good, and 1 poor.
CONCLUSIONIt is an effective way to treat the chronic mallet finger deformity using minor bone anchors and palmaris longus tendon graft, and the method has advantages of reliable fixation, easy operation, satisfactory effect and less complication.

AIM:To elucidate the molecular mechanisms of lipoic acid (LA) on redox regulation and digestive function in intestine of C57BL/6 mice fed high fat diet (HFD).METHODS:C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned to one of three groups (n=8). The control group consumed an ordinary diet. The other two experimental groups were fed with a high fat diet,high fat plus 0.1% LA. After 6 weeks,the activities of digestive enzymes were examined. In order to evaluate the antioxidant status of the mice,superoxide dismutase (SOD),malondialdehyde (MDA),total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in intestinal homogenate were measured. To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of LA,the gene expression profiles in intestine were examined using the GeneChip microarray system.RESULTS:A depressed antioxidant defense system,accompanied by digestive and absorptive function impairment,was observed in HFD-fed mice. These changes were partially restored in the LA-treated group. DNA microarray analysis of intestine showed that LA ingestion up-regulated the expression of genes related to free-radical scavenger enzymes,digestive enzymes and transporters.CONCLUSION:Treatment with LA improves redox homeostasis and the function of intestine in mice fed HFD. The mechanism may involve preventing oxidative stress by scavenging ROS directly and increasing those of free-radical scavenger enzymes gene expression indirectly.
