ObjectiveTo investigate the depression and anxiety state of heart transplantation patients. MethodsFifty-weight heart transplantation outpatients were assessed by Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA) in Zhongshan Hospital during October 2010 to April 2011.Those diagnosed with depression disorder should meet the criteria of depression in Chinese Classification of Mental Disorder-3nd version (CCMD-3) and the score of HAMD≥14,and those diagnosed with anxiety disorder should meet the criteria of anxiety disorder CCMD-3 and the score of HAMA≥ 14.The diagnoses of concurrent depression and anxiety were made.Results The prevalence of depression disorder and anxiety disorder was respectively 15.5％ (9/58) and 22.5％ (13/58).The prevalence of depression disorder and anxiety disorder within 12 months was respectively 16.7％ (2/12) and 33.3％ (4/12).The score of HAMD was positively related to HAMA score (P＜0.01 ).ConclusionThe prevalence of depression disorder and anxiety disorder is very high and the co-existence of depression and anxiety is very common.

Objective: To observe the effects of Jinqi Jiangtang Tablet, a compound Chinese herbal medicine, on serum matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) level and MMP-9 expression in peripheral blood monocytes of rats with streptozocin-induced diabetes. Methods: Thirty Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group, untreated group and Jinqi Jiangtang Tablet group. Diabetes in rats was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozocin (70mg/kg body weight). After model building, rats in the Jinqi Jiangtang Tablet group were administered with Jinqi Jiangtang tablets at a dose of 0.8 g/(kg·d) for 6 weeks and rats in the control group and the untreated group were treated with normal saline. After treatment, level of fasting serum glucose was detected by hexokinas method; serum MMP-9 level was tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; MMP-9 expression in peripheral blood monocytes was measured by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and Western blot method. Results: After treatment, fasting serum glucose level in the Jinqi Jiangtang Tablet group was less than that in the untreated group (P<0.05). After modeling, the serum MMP-9 level of rats in the untreated group was (9.11±3.55) μg/L and that in Jinqi Jiangtang Tablet group was (8.97±3.07) μg/L, which were higher than that in the control group ((4.39±1.44) μg/L) (P<0.01). After gavage, the level of serum MMP-9 was lower in Jinqi Jiangtang Tablet group than in the untreated group (P<0.05). The expression of MMP-9 in peripheral blood monocytes in the untreated group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). The MMP-9 expression in peripheral blood monocytes of rats with diabetes was down-regulated by Jinqi Jiangtang Tablet (P<0.05). Conclusion: Jinqi Jiangtang Tablet can decrease the level of serum MMP-9 and down-regulate the MMP-9 expression in peripheral blood monocytes at both mRNA and protein levels in rats with diabetes.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the genetic polymorphisms of glutathione S-Transferase M1,T1 and the susceptibility to sporadic colorectal adenocarcinoma(SCRAC) and smoking and alcohol consumption in Chinese Hans.Methods Multiplex polymerase chain reaction (M-PCR) was used in the study of genetic polymorphisms of GSTM 1,T1 gene.Logistic analysis was performed to elucidate the roles of GSTM1,GST1,smoking and alcohol.Results The null GSTM1,T1 genotypes could increase the susceptibility to SCRAC(OR=1.711,95% CI:1.043～2.805;OR=1.734,95% CI:1.057～2.843),but smoking and alcohol consumption made no significant effect on SCRAC(OR=0.584,95% CI:0.356～0.958;OR=0.378.95% CI:0.217～0.657).Further stratification of the SCRAC patients by chnical features showed that there were no relationship between the GST M1,T1 genotype and the age of the SCRAC patients.But the frequency of null GSTM1 genotype was significantly associated with distal colon adenocarcinoma (P=0.021),colorectal adenocarcinoma of Dukes C classification (P=0.003) and poor difierentiation (P=0.020),respectively.The frequency of null GSTF1 genotype was only higher in colorectal adenocarcinoma of Dukes C classification(P=0.041).No relationship was found between the location,the degree of differentiation and the frequency of null GSTF1 genotype(P＞0.05).Furthermore,the frequencies of homozygous deletion in GSTM1,T1 genes were found to be significantly increased in SCRAC patients than those in healthy controls(38.9%VS25.7%.P=0.023).Conclusion The GST genotype is strongly correlated with SCRAC incidence in Chinese Hans.The null GSTM1,T1 genotypes can enhance the genetic susceptibility to SCRAC.while smoking and alcohol consumption have no significant effect on the susceptibility to SCRAC.

Objective To explore the association of genetic polymorphism of fucosyltransferase (FUT) 2 and FUT3 and expression of Lewis antigen with ulcerative colitis (UC) in Chinese Zhejiang Han population.Methods We genotyped FUT2 (rs281377, rs1047781 and rs601338) and FUT3 (rs28362459, rs3745635 and rs3894326) in 485 UC patients and 580 healthy controls using SNaPshot. By immunohistochemistry method, we also evaluated expression of Lewis a and b antigens in the sigmoid colon of 10 UC patients and 10 patients with benign colonic polyps.Results The frequencies of mutant allele (A) and genotype (GA+AA) in FUT3 rs3745635 were higher in UC patients than in controls (P=0.016, 95%CI 1.339-1.699;P=0.038, 95%CI 1.330-1.742, respectively). Stratified analyses revealed that the frequencies of mutant allele (G) and genotype (TG+GG) of FUT3 rs28362459 were significantly lower in patients with extensive colitis than in those with distal colitis (P=0.001, 95%CI 0.567-0.786;P<0.001, 95%CI 0.503-0.742, respectively). Similar conclusions were drawn for the mutant allele (A) and genotype (GA+AA) of FUT3 rs3745635 in patients with extensive colitis compared to those with distal colitis (P=0.011, 95%CI 0.621-0.900;P=0.006, 95%CI 0.553-0.845, respectively). Although expression of Lewis b antigen in the sigmoid colon did not differ between UC patients and controls, Lewis a antigen expression was higher in the crypt epithelium of both inflammatory and non-inflammatory sigmoid colon of UC patients than in controls (P=0.028).Conclusion Polymorphisms of FUT3 and expression level of Lewis a antigen might be associated with UC.

OBJECTIVETo explore potency material bases of Xuebijing (XBJ) formula, and to analyze its effects at the molecular network level.

METHODSTotally 16 sepsis-related targets were selected and classified into three categories such as inflammation, immune, and coagulation referring to biological roles. Then molecular database of chemical compositions in XBJ formula were constructed to explore mutual actions with inflammation, immune, and coagulation targets.

RESULTSDanshen root and safflower, with more effector molecules with immune and coagulation targets, have extensive anticoagulation and anti-inflammation effects. The former 10 molecules with better mutual actions with sepsis targets were sequenced as tryptophane, danshensu, gallic acid, salvianolic acid D, protocatechuic acid, salvianolic acid A, danshensu C, vanillic acid, rosmarinic acid, phenylalanine. There existed two phenomena in XBJ formula as follows. One component had stronger actions with multi-targets, for example, danshensu had actions with 13 targets. Meanwhile, different components acted on the same target protein, for example, 8 molecules acted with MD-2.

CONCLUSIONXBJ formula had certain potential synergistic effects with sepsis targets, which could provide certain referential roles for findina new type anti-septic drugs.

OBJECTIVETo discuss the efficacy of the myogenic elephant skin cream combining with VSD for treating severe bedsores.

METHODSTwenty-nine cases of III and IV degree bedsores were treated from June 2009 to June 2013. Among them, 15 cases were treated by myogenic elephant skin cream combined with VSD (VSD group) including 7 males and 8 females with an average age of (69.0±5.3) years old ranging from 17 to 96 years;other 14 cases were treated by the treatment of conventional dressing change (control group) including 6 males and 8 females with an average age of (71.0±4.2) years old ranging from 40 to 86 years. At 7, 14, 21, 28 d after treatments, specimens of wound two groups were respectively taken to examine immunohistochemical CD34 adopted SABC, the number of wild vascular cross were observed as capillary density value under high magnification microscope. It was used to assess the hyperplasia of granulation tissue of wound. The capillary density value and the visual wound observation were indicators for evaluation of clinical efficacy.

RESULTSSeventeen of 19 cases got complete data of specimens of wound at 7, 14, 21, 28 d,included 9 cases of VSD group,8 of control group. In the microscope view, the capillary density of VSD group was higher than that of control group significantly (P<0.05), it showed the application of VSD technology improved hyperplasia of granulation tissue much faster than conventional dressing change. In VSD group, 13 cases with 15 wounds healed, 2 cases with 3 wounds improved; in control group,3 cases with 3 wounds healed,7 cases with 9 wounds improved, 4 cases with 5 wounds were unhealed.

CONCLUSIONUsing the VSD technology with continuous high pressure suction to clean the drainage of wound and lacuna thoroughly can effectively control infection,promote the growth of granulation tissue, and then applying myogenic elephant skin cream to improve partial blood supply while prompting rapid growth of new granulation tissue and epithelial cell. The risk of this treatment is low,and the course of treatment is short, this provides a safe and effective method for treating bedsores.

Objective To investigate the association of ulcerative colitis (UC) with fork head/ winged helix transcription factor-3 (Foxp3) polymorphisms in Han population in Zhejiang province,China.Methods A total of 381 UC patients and 490 healthy controls were enrolled in this study.The four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of Foxp3 (rs3761547,rs2232365,rs2294021,rs3761548) were examined by SNaPshot.The analyses of linkage disequilibrium (LD) and haplotype were also performed in all study subjects.Results When male and female UC patients were compared with their corresponding controls respectively,the alleles and genotypes of the four SNPs were not statistically different (all P ＞0.05).According to severity and location of the disease,the UC patients were divided into different subgroups.The alleles (C,G,A) of (rs2232365,rs2294021,rs3761548) were more frequent in male patients with severe UC than in the male controls (69.6％ vs 34.3％,P =0.001;69.6％ vs 34.3％,P =0.001;39.1％ vs 14.4％,P =0.002,respectively).As compared with the female controls,the alleles (C,G,A) and genotypes (TC + CC,AG + GG,CA + AA) of (rs2232365,rs2294021,rs3761548) were significantly increased in the female patients with severe UC (51.9％ vs 38.0％,63.5％ vs 39.2％,53.8％ vs21.4％,80.8％ vs57.7％,84.6％ vs58.4％,76.9％ vs34.7％,all P＜0.05).The four SNPs above were shown to be in a strong LD both in male and in female subjects.When male and female UC patients were compared with their corresponding controls respectively,nevertheless,each haplotype frequency was not statistically different (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Foxp3 (rs2232365,rs2294021,rs3761548) variations might engender the increased risk of severe UC in Chinese Han patients.

Objective To analyze the association of Crohn's disease(CD)with vitamin D receptor(VDR) gene polymorphisms. Methods After collecting 326 CD patients and 464 healthy controls,the four single nucleotide polymorphisms of VDR (FokI, BsmI, ApaI and TaqI) were examined by a SNaPshot technique. Results Compared with those in controls,the frequencies of mutant allele(A)and genotype(GA+AA)of BsmI were significantly decreased in CD patients(both P=0.001). The similar conclusions were also drawn for the mutant allele(C)and genotype(TC+CC)of TaqI(both P<0.05). In further stratified analysis,compared with those in controls,the mutant alleles and genotypes of BsmI and TaqI were significantly reduced in stenotic type CD patients (all P<0.0083). The analyses of linkage disequilibrium(LD)and haplotype showed that BsmI,ApaI and TaqI were in a strong LD,and the formed haplotype AAC was significantly lower in CD patients than that in controls (P <0.05). Conclusions VDR(BsmI and TaqI)polymorphisms are significantly related with the reduced susceptibility to CD,especially for patients with stenotic CD. Moreover,the haplotype AAC might engender a reduced risk of CD.
