Purpose:To study the effect of the herbal decoction Qingyi Xiaoji Formula(QYXJ) on the proliferation of human pancreatic cancer cell line SW1990 in vivo and to explore the mechanism of its functions by means of cDNA microarray.Methods:Tumor-burdened nude mice were randomized into control group,5-FU group,and QYXJ groups at different dosages.After treatment,inhibiting rates of tumor growth were calculated.Tumor mRNA of the control group and the QYXJ group at moderate dose was extracted.The fluorescent cDNA probes were prepared,labeled with two different dyes Cy3 and Cy5,and then hybridized with cDNA microarray and scanned for fluorescent intensity.The genes with different expression were identified through the analysis of gene expression profile.Results:Inhibition rates of tumor growth in the QYXJ groups were 21.31%,38.16% and 29.09%,in the dose of 18 g/kg,36 g/kg,and 72 g/kg respectively.7 genes with reduced expression were identified,the functions of which were oncogene,protein translation and synthesis,DNA synthesis and repair,cell signal transduction,etc.Conclusions:QYXJ decoction may inhibit the proliferation of pancreatic cancer in vivo,possibly by blocking the action of an oncogene and its downstream signaling,or by regulation of protein synthesis in cancer cells.

Objective To investigate the drug resistant genes and genotypes of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in Tianjin First Center Hospital. Methods A total of 52 strains of carbapenem-non-susceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae were collected from 2012 to 2015. The MICs of antimicrobial drugs were detected using agar dilution methods. Phenotypes of carbapenemases were screened using modified Hodge test. Drug resistant genes were detected by multiplex-PCR assay. Multilocus sequence typing ( MLST) was used to determine the genotypes and homology of these carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains.

Objective To summarize and analyze regularities in clinical use of acupoint application for headache. Method Fifth version Chinese Medical Classics database was searched. Thirty-three library-stored ancient books were searched manually. The ancient literature included for the study was sorted out. Descriptive statistical analysis was made of classification, point selection, used medicine, excipients and dosage forms for acupoint application for headache. Result A total of 51 pieces of literature was included. Statistical analysis showed that there were nine kinds of disease names, three types of classification-based treatment, eight acupoints, fifty kinds of medicines, eight hinds of excipients and five kinds of dosage forms. Conclusion Headache is the most basic nomenclature for pains in the head. Classification-based treatment fully embodies the idea of treatment based on disease differentiation mainly in combination with syndrome differentiation. Point Taiyang is the main point for local selection of point. The most frequently selected medicines are those of going through meridians, opening the orifices, unblocking collaterals and having thick smells. Blistering medicines are used cautiously. Scallion juice is most frequently used as excipients. Medicinal cakes are dosage forms most suitable for acupoint application for headache.

Objective: To investigate the protection roll of rosuvastatin on chronic heart failure (CHF) in rats with its effect on asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) metabolic pathway.
Methods: A total of 36 male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups, n=12 in each group. Isoproterenol (ISO) group, the rats received ISO subcutaneous injection (5mg·kg·d) for 7 days to establish CHF model, and then received normal saline gavage administration for 7 days. Rosuvastatin (ROS) treatment group, the rats received ISO with ROS for 7 days, then continuously receiving ROS until 14 days. Normal control group, the rats received saline gavage administration for 7 days. The related serum index and haemodynamic parameters were examined, myocardial pathological changes were observed and the relevant protein expression was measured by Western blot analysis.
Results: Compared with Normal control group, ISO group had obviously increased troponin (cTn I), serum ADMA,-LVdP/dtmin, all P<0.01, and decreased left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP), heart rate, arterial SP, mean arterial pressure, +LVdP/dtmax, all P<0.01. Compared with ISO group, ROS treatment group showed signiifcantly decreased BNP, cTn I, ADMA , -LVdP/dtmin, all P<0.01, and increased LVSP, heart rate, arterial SP, mean arterial pressure,+LVdP/dtmax, all P<0.01. Compared with Normal control group, ISO group had increased expression of protein arginine methyltransferases 1 (PRMT1), decreased expression of dimethyl- arginine dimethylaminohydrolase 2 (DDHA2), both P<0.01. Compared with ISO group, ROS treatment group showed decreased expression of PRMT1, P<0.01 and similar expression DDHA2, P>0.05.
Conclusion: Rosuvastatin has the protective roll on ISO induced CHF in rats, which might be related to decreased serum levels of cTn I, BNP and ADMA metabolic pathway regulation.

BACKGROUND:Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) had 3 kinds of receptors in vitro. Some researches had showed that LPA1, LPA2 and LPA3 receptors distributed widely in mouse cerebral cortex, nephritic external medulla layer and internal medulla layer, spermary, thymus, heart, lung, stomach, spleen, whereas less in liver, small intestine and skeletal muscles. Whether there are various LPA receptors in mouse VSMC membrane deserves further study.OBJECTIVE: To observe the mRNA expression of LPA receptors in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC).DESIGN: Observational comparative experiment.SETTING: Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology.MATERIALS: A total of 24 C57BL/6 mice aged 7-8 weeks, of either sex, with the body mass of approximately (25±3) g,were purchased from the Animal Department of Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Trizol was purchased from America Invitrogen; dNTP Mix, Rnasin were obtained from TaKaRa; M-MLV reverse transcriptase and buffer system were from Promega; Taq DNA-polymerase and buffer system were from Biostar.Oligo(dT)18 primer were from Sangon, Shanghai. Primer sequences were designed referring to literature and nucleotide sequence database and synthesized by Sangon, Shanghai.METHODS: The experiment was conducted at the Comprehensive Laboratory, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology between August 2005 and January 2006. Mice were anaesthetized by abdominal cavity with 20 g/L ketamine (5 mL/kg). Thoracic aorta was obtained sterilely, and VSMC was cultured with adherence method. The 4th-6th passage cells were used in the trial. Cell purity was over 95%.

Compared with LPA1 receptors and LPA2 receptors (0.79±0.05,0.82±0.06), the LPA3 receptor expression was lower (0.53±0.05, q =23.78,26.53, P＜ 0.01 ).CONCLUSION: There are 3 kinds of LPA receptors in VSMC, and their molecular masses are 600 bp, 463 bp and 899 bp,respectively. There are no differences for the expressions between LPA1 receptors and LPA2 receptors, while the LPA3 receptor expression is less.
