Objective To assess the efficacy of Xuezhikang capsule on hyperuricacidemia and its safety. Methods The study was designed as a random, double-blind placebo controlled clinical trial. 80 hyperuricacidemia patients were divided randomly into test group and control group (40 in test group and 40 in control group). The course of treatment was 28 days. Results 75 patients finished the trial (38 in test group and 37 in control group). After 28 days of treatment, the differences in reduction of UA, XOD, FINs, Homa-IR, TC, TG, Lp, CRP, ET, ?2-MG and elevation of HDL of the test group were statistic significance. No side effect was found in the trial. Conclusion Xuezhikang capsule has good clinical effect and safety in the treatment of hyperuricacidemia.

OBJECTIVEThis study aims to compare and determine a kind of nano-hydroxyapatite composite material with good antibacterial efficacy on Enterococcusfaecalis (E. faecalis) in vitro.
METHODSWe investigated the antimicrobial activity of four kinds of nano-hydroxyapatite composites, namely, silver/hydroxyapatite composite nanoparticles (Ag/nHA), yttrium/hydroxyapatite composite nanoparticles (Yi/nHA), cerium/hydroxyapatite composite nanoparticles (Ce/nHA), and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (nHA), against E. faecalis in vitro using the agar diffusion and broth dilution method by measuring the growth inhibition zone and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), respectively.
RESULTSThe agar diffusion test results showed that Ag/nHA displayed an obvious growth inhibition zone, whereas Yi/nHA, Ce/nHA, and nHA showed no influence on E. faecalis. The MIC value of Ag/nHA was 1.0 g.L-1, and the three other materials had no effect on E.faecalis even at the high concentration of 32.0 g.L-1.
CONCLUSIONAg/nHA display a potential antimicrobial efficacy to planktonic E.faecalis. Whereas, the three other kinds of nano-hydroxyapatite composites (Yi/nHA, Ce/nHA, nHA) show no influence.

Objective To introduce the application and the surgical cooperation of the transanal endoscopic microsurgery in resection of rectal neoplasms and summarize the nursing points.Method The clinical histories of 135 patients undergoing resection of rectal neoplasms with transanal endoscopic microsurgery were reviewed and analyzed.Results All the surgeries were successful. Four patients developed with wound infections,three of them getting better after treatment and one of them diagnosed with poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma and selected another operation.Conclusion Well-prepared、pre-operation,skillful operation and instrument procedure and postoperative nursing were critical to the success of operations.

Objective To observe the effect of calycosin on cisplatin?induced inhibition of human gastric BGC823 cells. Methods BGC823 cells were treated with different drugs:saline,cisplatin,calycosin and cisplatin combined with calycosin. MTT assays were used to detect the prolif?eration rate of BGC823 cell. Then the protein level and RNA level of cyclin D1,CDK4 and CDK6 were detected by Western blotting and Real?time PCR. Results The proliferation inhibition rates of BGC823 cells treated with 20μg/mL cisplatin,10μg/mL meperoflavone,and combina?tion of the 2 drugs were 56.44%± 2.08%,9.52%± 2.77%and 74.44%± 0.82%,respectively. The inhibition rate of the combination of drugs was significantly higher than that of the single drug treatment group(P<0.05). In addition,we found that calycosin can significantly enhance the inhi?bition of Cyclin D1,CDK4 and CDK6 by cisplatin in protein level and RNA level. Conclusion Calycosin can significantly increase the inhibitory rate of cisplatin on BGC823 cell proliferation,and the combination of the two drugs can reduce the side effects of cisplatin.

Object To optimize the best extraction of the total saponins in the root of Ophiopogon japonicus (Thunb.) Ker-Gawl. (RO). Methods The extract condition of total saponins in RO was observed by orthogonal design with ophiopogonis D as index. Results The optimum extract condition of RO was established. The more effective way was to smash RO to 5-10 mesh and extract total saponins in RO with ten times amount of 80% alcohol thrice by refluxing, one hour each time. Conclusion The total saponins in RO could be fully extracted in this condition.

The transfection efficiency of oligonucleotide and plasmid to the HL-60 cell line with lipofectaminePLUS was compared through observing the transfection rate and the expression duration of exogenous gene in the target cells. The results showed that the transfection rate of oligonucleotide to the HL-60 was about 90% - 95% and it had no obvious attenuation within 84 h. However, the plasmid transfection rate was only 5% -25% and it was decreased significantly within 60 h. It was suggested that the transfection of oligonucleotide with liposomes was better than that of plasmid.

The HL-60 cells were transfected with chk1 antisense and sense chain, and 24 h later subjected to irradiation. Twenty-four h after irradiation, the changes in the chk1 protein expression was assayed by Western blot, and the cell cycles and apoptosis rate detected by FCM. The irradiated apoptosis sensitivity was increased by antisense blocking of chk1 gene in HL-60 cell line with the apoptosis rate being 26.31%, significantly higher than that by the sense blocking (10.34%, 0.025 < P < 0.05). In HL-60 cells transfected with chk1 antisense chain, the G2/M phase arrest was attenuated and the cells in G2/M phase were accounted for 38.42%, significantly lower than those of the cells transfected with chkl sense chain (54.64%, 0.005 < P < 0.01). It was concluded that antisense blocking of chk1 gene could increase the apoptosis sensitivity to irradiation.
