Objective To observe the relationship of blood serum bilirubin level with coronary heart disease and the degree of coronary artery narrowing. Methods A total of 126 patients were divided into the coronary disease group (83) and the control group (43). According to the coronary artery narrowing integral, the 83 patients in the coronary disease group were divided into three subgroups: mild narrowing group (15 people), moderate narrowing group (35 people), and severe narrowing group (33 people). The coronary arteriography of the patients in the control group was normal. 5mL venous blood was drawn on empty stomach, and the enzyme method was used to determine glycerin, the total cholesterol, the low density lipoprotein cholesterol, the high density lipoprotein cholesterol, and the blood serum bilirubin. Results The blood serum total bilirubin in the coronary disease group was (12.30?3.84)?mol/L, direct bilirubin was (4.07?1.45)?mol/L, and indirect bilirubin was (8.23 ? 2.82 )?mol/L. The total bilirubin in the normal group was (14.59?4.37)?mol/L, direct bilirubin was (4.66 ? 1.55 )?mol/L, and indirect bilirubin was (9.93?3.33)?mol/L. The total bilirubin, indirect bilirubin and direct bilirubin were lower in coronary disease group than in normal group (P0.05). Conclusion The blood serum bilirubin level and coronary disease have remarkable negative correlation, and the blood serum bilirubin level of patients with coronary disease is lower than that of healthy people. ② The blood serum bilirubin level and the degree of coronary artery narrowing do not have remarkable correlation.

Objective To investigate the effect of cytochrome P_ 450 2A6 (CYP2A6) genetic polymorphisms on serum concentration of sodium valproate. Methods A total of 98 epileptic patients receiving sodium valproate after a period of more than 5 half-time were recruited. The genotypes of CYP2A6 of the patients were detected by nested-primer polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to examine the alleles CYP2A6*1 and CYP2A6*4. Fluorescence polarization immunoassay (FPIA) was used to measure the serum concentration of sodium valproate. Results Of the 98 cases, 73 (74.5%) were wild genotypes, 24 (24.5%) were CYP2A6*1/*4 genotypes and 1(1.0%) was CYP2A6*4/*4 genotype. According to the genotypes of CYP2A6 the patients were divided into two groups,one was group A (CYP2A6*1/*1) and the other was group B (CYP2A6*1/*4 or *4/*4). The mean value of the serum concentration of sodium valproate of the patients in group A(4.1393?0.2793) was higher than that in group B(3.3486?0.3919) with a statistical significance (P

Teachers applied task-based learning and Team-based learning methods in the course of ethnic medicine.Teaching contents were classified according to relations of different herbs and quantity of herbs in each chapter.7-9 students formed a learning group which was also called team.Learning groups prepared lessons before class,debated on different tasks such as herb identification and treatment prescription of clinical cases in class,and drew a conclusion after debates.Learning groups expounded their viewpoints and debated with other learning groups about different views.Teachers recorded and commented on viewpoints from each learning group.After class,through a questionnaire,teachers understood the students' feedback to the whole teaching process,and the effect of application of task driven and cooperative team learning got students' recognition.In the future,we will make some improvement by increasing the classroom comment,improving the preparation before class,increasing the efficiency of learning group presentation and debate time,enriching teachers' academic knowledge and improving their teaching skills.

Whether InfusaSleeve(IS) catheter can deliver antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (ODNs) following arterial denuation is unknown. We evaluate the feasibility of local endoluminal delivery of C-myc ODNs to the site of arterial denudation by using IS catheter and to determine the biological importance of these effects. IS catheter was introduced into right side of iliac artery of 21 rabbits after angioplasty of iliac artery. Animals were randomized to the control group (n＝6) receiving saline injection and the treated group receiving c-myc antisense (n＝15, 1 mg ODNs per vessel). In two weeks and 40 days following the operation, angiography was performed. Morphometric analyses were carried out in balloon-denuded iliac arteries. The expression of c-myc protein was detected by using a mouse monoclonal antibody to c-myc. Morphometric analyses carried out at 40 days after transcatheter c-myc antisense oligomer administration. The results showed that maximal neointimal area was reduced from 7.66±3.7(×105 μm2) in the control group (n＝6) to 4.04±1.02(×105 μm2) in the antisense treated group (n＝6, P＜0.05). These changes in vascular remodeling following denuding injury resulted in an increase in residual luman from 20～50% in the control group to 70～90% in the antisense-treated group. C-myc protein expression was virtually undetectable at baseline in locally ODNs-delivered arteries and detectable in control denuded arteries. The results show that: ①Single IS transcatheter administration allowed endoluminal delivery of ODNs to the site of arterial injury; ② c-myc antisense oligomer reduced the formation of neointime in denuded arteries, implying a therapeutic potential of this approach.

Compared with pdor to drug application, BMD in the treatment group did not present obvious change after epimedium total flavonoids application, while in the control group, BMD in the sites of lumbar vertebrae (L1-4), neck of femur, Wards triangle, and greater trochanter was significantly decreased (P<0.01-0.05). After drug application, serum level of calcium was significantly increased in each group, compared with prior to drug application (P<0.05), and no significant difference existed between the treatment and control groups (P>0.05). Tn the treatment group, serum levels of phosphorus and ALP did not alter significantly compared with prior to epimedium total flavonoids application (P>0.05).CONCLUSION: Epimedium total flavonoids exhibit effective effects on the maintenance of BMD in primary osteoporosis.

BACKGROUND: Migu tablet, a Chinese drug for kidney invigorating, is effective on preventing and treating osteoporosis, but the concrete mechanism of pharmacology is still not clear. Transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1) is an important cytokine, which can regulate bone resorption and formation.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of kidney invigorating recipe on mRNA expression of TGF-β1 of osteoblast.DESIGN: A completely randomized controlled study was conducted.SETTING: Department of Traumatic Orthopedics, Union Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology.MATERIALS: This experiment was conducted at the laboratory for bone metabolism of integration of Chinese and western medicine, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from May 2003 to April 2004. Experimental rats: Totally 16 newborn SD rats of clean degree were involved. Experimental drug: Medical liquor of Migu tablet was prepared in the Department of Traumatic Orthopedics,Union Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology. The subscription was mainly composed of Chinese herbs such as Herba Epimedii, Cortex Eucommiae, Semen Juglandis,Radix Rehmanniae, Radix Achyranthis Bidentatae. and so on. Positive control drug: which was recombinant basic fibroblastic growth factor (rbFGF), was purchased from Beijing Banding Company. Negative control group was subdivided into negative control of probe and antibody METHODS: 100,1 000,5 000,10 000 mg/L Chinese herb Migu tablet liquor for kidney invigorating and positive control drug 5 μg/L rbFGF were added into the osteoblasts of cranial bones of newly born SD rats separated and cultured in vitro. 24 hours later, nuclear acid molecular in situ hybridization of osteoblasts were analyzed by self-made digoxin-labeled TGF-β1 cDNA probe . The mean absorbance of positive particles representing the mRNA expression of TGF-β1. A total of 40 osteoblasts were randomly chosen from each group under 200-fold amplification. The average absorbance of hybridized particles of the cells was measured with TJTY-300 automatic image analyzer.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: mRNA expression of TGF-β1 in osteoblasts of each group.RESULTS: Automatic image analyzer showed that the TGF-β1 mRNA expressions of Migu liquor groups whose concentration were 5 000 mg/L and 10 000 mg/L were respectively 1.18 times and 1.30 times that of control group, with a significant difference. [The mean absorbance's of hybridized particles of the cells in the 5 000,10 000 mg/L Migu liquor groups and negative control were 0.213 67±0.015 00,0.237 03±0.021 73,0.181 27±0.015 28 ,respectively, P ＜ 0.05 and P ＜ 0.01].Although the mean absorbance ( 0.254 45±0.020 81)of the hybridized particles of the cells in the 5 μg/L recombinant rbFGF was higher than those of 5 000,10 000 mg/L Migu liquor groups, but there was no significant difference(P ＞ 0.05).CONCLUSION: Migu tablet for kidney invigorating can stimulate the secretion and synthesis of TGF-β1 in osteoblasts, thus promote bone formation and inhibit bone resorption.

BACKGROUND:The therapeutic effects of donkey-hide glue reinforcing bone oral solution on osteoporosis have been determined, but the exact effective mechanism is to be approached. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of donkey-hide glue reinforcing bone oral solution (DGRBOS) medicated serum on osteoprotegerin (OPG)and its ligand(OPGL)mRNAexpression of osteoblast in fetal rats and explore the molecular mechanism of treating osteoporosis with DGRBOS. DESIGN: A randomized controlled trial. MATERIALS: The experiment was carried out from June 2003 to October 2004 in Bone Metabolic Laboratory of Department of Integrative Chinese and Western Medicine, Affiliated Hospital of Tongji Medical College,Huazhong University of Technology and Science. Totally 30 3-month-oldWistar rats (15 males and 15 females) were randomly divided into 3 groups, I.e. DGRBOS group, estrogen group and control group, with 10 rats in every group. 12 clean newborn SD rats were selected to isolate and cul ture osteoblast. METHODS: ①After intragastric administration for 7 days, medicated serum was prepared respectively from the three groups. ②Skull osteoblast isolated from newborn SD rats was made into single cell suspension, then after digestion and passage, the subcultured osteoblast cell was made into cell suspension. The cultured osteoblasts were divided into 5 groups and given equal volumes of drug liquor. The DGRBOS group was given DGRBOS-medicated serum at the concentration of 100, 500 and 1 000 g/L which was diluted by nutrient solution; the estrogen group was given tibolone-medicated serum of 100 and 1 000 g/L; the control group was givenonly culture fluid. Meanwhile every group was given calf serum (100 g/L) for further culture. ③The osteoblast proliferation was measured by antigenic MTT colorimetric analysis and 3H-TdR penetration method. The in tra-cellular BGP contents were evaluated by radioimmunity .The mRNA expression of OPG and RANKL in osteoblast was analyzed by Rt-PCR. ④ One-way analysis of variance was applied to compare data among groups. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: mRNA expression of OPG and PAN KL in osteoblasts from fetal rats after intervention by medicated serum ofDGRBOS or Livial. RESULTS: ①The osteoblast proliferation measured by antigenic MTT colorimetric analysis and 3H-TdR penetration method showed that the proliferation in the DGRBOS group and tibolone group was enhanced moresignificantly than that in the control group (P ＜ 0.05-0.01), and reached maximal effect at the concentration of 500 g/L (P ＜ 0.01), but when the concentration was over 500 g/L, the effect tended to saturate. The medicated serum with all concentrations from DGRBOS and estrogen groups could increase the contents of BGP in osteoblasts (P ＜ 0.05). ②The mRNA expression of OPG reached the peak when the DGRBOS medicated serum was 1 000 g/L, and was obviously higher than that at the concentration of 100 and 500 g/L (P ＜ 0.05). The expression in DGRBOS group at the concentration of 1 000 g/L and in the estrogen group at the concentration of 100 and 1 000 g/L was apparently higher than that of the control group (P ＜ 0.01). ③The mRNAexpression of RANKL was the highest in DGR BOS group with 1 000 g/L concentration, and was markedly lower than that of the concentration of 100 and 500 g/L (P ＜ 0.05). The expression in DGRBOS group at the concentration of 1 000 g/L and in the estrogen group at the concentration of 100 and 1 000 g/L was noticeably lower than that in the control group (P ＜ 0.01).CONCLUSION: ①The DGRBOS could remarkably enhance osteoblast proliferation in dose-dependent and a dose-saturable manner, and the effect was close to that of tibolone. ②Partial mechanism of DGRBOS in treating osteoporosis might be promoting osteoblast proliferation and regulating OPG/RANKL expression.
