1.EFEECT OF ALPHA-INTERFERON COMBINED WITH SILYBUM MARINANUM COMPOUND IN TREATMENT OF CHRONIC HEPATITIS B
Journal of Xi'an Jiaotong University(Medical Sciences) 1981;0(03):-
This paper reports the results of 15 cases of chronic hepatitis B treated with alpha-inter -feron (?-IFN) combined with silybum marinanum compound at a small dose (?-IFN 5000 units/day)in a long treatment course(3-6 months). The cure rate was 66.6% in the treatment group and 33.3% in the placebo group. The amount of ?-IFN in the serum of the patients was determined before and after treatment, but no ?-IFN in the serum was detected before treatment, ?-IFN elevated to 5-40 units/ml after treatment for 3-7 months. However, it would drop when the treatment was stopped. The therapeutic effect was remarkable when the amount of ?-IFN in the serum was increased. The results indicate that the anti-viral drug(IFN)combined with silyoum marinanum compound may be used to cure chronic hepatitis B.

Objective To study the efficacy of trimctazidine combined with atorvastatin for primary hypertension with paroxysmal auricular fibrillation,and its effects on LAD and CRP. Methods 160 patients of pri-mary hypertension with paroxysmal auricular fibrillation were randomly divided into 4 groups. Forty patients were treated with amiodarone (control group),600 mg/d for the first week,400 mg/d for the second week and 200 mg/d later;40 patients were treated with atorvastatin (20 mg/d,3 times per day) in addition to amiodarone (the atorvasat-in group);40 patients were treated with trimetazidine (20 mg/d,3 times per day) in addition to armiodarone (the trimetazidine group);40 patients were treated with combination of trimetazidine and atorvastatin in addition to amiod-atone (the combination group),and the dose was the same as the above groups. The treatment was started within 24 hours of recovering from paroxysmal auricular fibrillation and lasted for 1 year. Results After 1 year there was 1 pa-the control group,and 62.5% (25/40) for the atorvasatin group,64.1% (25/39) for the trimetazidine group,and 84.6% (33/39) for the combination group. Compared to the control group,the effective rate of the 3 treatment groups were all significantly higher (X2=4.56、5.13、17.55,P<0.05). The effective rate of the combination group was significantly higher than that of the atorvasatin group and the trimetazidine group (X2=4.95、4.30,P<0.05),and there was no significant difference of effective rate between the atorvasatin group and the trimetazidine group(X2= >0.05). After treatment LAD was (40.96+1.81) mm in the control group,(38.65±1.90) mm in the atorvasatin group,(39.15±1.85)mm in the trimetazidine group,and (37.22±1.74) mm in the combination group. LAD of the 3 treatment groups were all significantly different from the control group(F=3.42,P<0.05). LAD of the combina-tion group was significantly smaller than that of the atorvasatin group and the trimetazidine group (P<0.05),and there was no significant difference of the LAD between the atorvasatin group and the trimetazidine group(P>0.05). There was no significant difference between the 4 groups on CRP before treatment (F=0.96,P>0.05). After treat-ment CRP was (8.85±1.45) mg/L in the control group,(5.96±1.26) mg/L in the atorvasatin group,(6.81± 1.37) mg/L in the trimetazidine group,and (3.75±1.15) mg/L in the combination group. CRP of the 3 treatment groups were all significantly different from the control group (F=3.63,P<0.05). CRP of the combination group was significantly lower than that of the atorvasatin group and the trimetazidine group (P<0.05),and there was no signif-icant difference of CRP between the atorvasatin group and the trimetazidine group (P>0.05). Conclusion The treatment with trmetazidine combined with atorvastatin could prevent recurrence of paroxysmal auricular fibrillation though anti-inflammatory and inhibiting the remodeling of left atrial.

BACKGROUND:Efficacy of stem cel therapy is considerably influenced by oxidative stress. Sirtuin (SIRT) family of mammals is an important deacetylation and antioxidant enzyme that can regulate endogenous antioxidant activities in stem cel s and cel cycle related signaling pathways to reduce the damage and enhance the viability of stem cel s.
OBJECTIVE:To review the regulating function and mechanism of SIRT family.
METHODS:A computer-based search of Web of Science, PubMed and CNKI from 1990 to 2015 was performed for relevant articles about SIRT and stem cel oxidative stress, using the key words of“SIRT, stem cel , oxidative stress, molecular mechanisms”in English and Chinese, respectively. After eliminating literatures which have poor authority or have similar contents, 55 articles were involved.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:NAD+-dependent SIRT family is the key enzyme for deacetylation of histones and other proteins. It plays vital regulation roles in metabolism, genomic stability, DNA damage/repair, and chromatin remodeling/stress reaction. Progress in the SIRT-targeted stem cel research wil definitely provide more clues for clinical stem cel transplantation therapy.
