Drug Evaluation Research 2017;40(2):233-236
Objective To investigate the myocardial protective effects of rosuvastatin in patients with unstable angina pectoris undergoing coronary stent implantation.Methods Patients (90 cases) with unstable angina pectoris undergoing coronary stent implantation in No.215 Hospital of Shanxi Nuclear Industry from January 2014 to May 2016 were divided into observation group and control group,45 cases in each group.Patients in the observation group were treated with rosuvastatin,and patients in the control group were treated with atorvastatin.The levels of CK-MB,cTnⅠ,h-FABP,hs-CRP,TNF-α,INF-γ,IL-6,IL-10,and IL-18 were compared between two groups.Adverse drug reaction and major adverse cardiac events of two groups were recorded.Results After 24 h operation,the levels of CK-MB,cTnⅠ,hs-CRP,TNF-α,INF-γ,IL-10,and IL-18 of two group were significantly higher than those before operation (P < 0.05),and those in observation group were significantly lower than control group (P < 0.05).There was no difference in h-FABP between two groups before and after operation (P < 0.05).The level of IL-6 in the observation group after operation was higher than that before operation,but the difference was not significant (P < 0.05);The level of IL-6 in the control group was significantly higher than that before operation and that of observation group (P <0.05);The rates of drug adverse reactions and major adverse cardiac events were similar in two groups.Conclusion Compared with same doseatorvastatin,the effects of rosuvastatin in muscle damage and inflammatory response are better,and do not increase adverse reactions.

Objective To investigate the effect of pioglitazone (PIO) on the expression of peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor γ (PPARγ),nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) c-Rel and anti-apoptosis factor Bcl-xL in cultured Wistar rat cortical neurons after oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R).Methods The rat cerebral cortical neurons were primarily cultured in vitro and a model of OGD/R was induced.The rats were divided into 7 groups:normal,OGD 4 h/R 6 h,OGD 4 h/R 12 h,OGD 4 h/R 6 h + PIO,OGD 4 h/R 6 h + PPARγ inhibitor T0070907 (TIO),OGD 4 h/R 12 h + PIO,and OGD 4 h/R 12 h + TIO groups.Western blot was used to detect the expression of PPARγ and NF-κB c-Rel protein in neurons.Reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction assay was used to detect the expression of Bcl-xL mRNA in neurons.Results Western blot analysis showed that the expression levels of PPARγ and NF-κB c-Rel proteins after OGD/R were increased significantly compared to those of the normal group (P <0.01).After giving PIO,the expression levels of PPARγ and NF-κB c-Rel proteins were further increased,and they were significantly higher than those in the OGD 4 h/R 6 h and OGD 4 h/R 12 h groups (P <0.01),and after giving TIO,the expression levels of PPARγ and NF-κB c-Rel proteins were decreased,and they were significantly lower than those in the OGD/R group (P <0.05) and the corresponding PIO group (P <0.01).Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis showed that the expression level of Bcl-xL mRNA in the OGD 4 h/R 6 h group was significantly higher than that in the normal group (P <0.01).The expression level of Bcl-xL mRNA in the PIO group was significantly higher than that in the OGD 4 h/R 6 h and OGD 4 h/R 12 h groups (P <0.01).After giving TIO,the expression of Bcl-xL mRNA was decreased.It was significantly lower than that in the OGD/R and corresponding PIO groups (P < 0.05 and P < 0.01).Conclusions PIO can upregulate the expression of PPARγ protein in cultured cortical neurons after OGD/R,and then increase the expression of anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-xL mRNA of NF-κB c-Rel regulation.This may be the part mechanism of PPARγ neuroprotective effect.

The high molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) are the main components of storage proteins of wheat,and play a critical role in determining the visco-elastic properties of gluten. There are both quantitative and qualitative effects of HMW-GS on the processing properties of wheat. Current knowledge of the molecular structures,compositions and properties of the gluten proteins of wheat is summarized in details,and the role of the HMW-GS in determining the quality of the grain for breadmaking and how their amount and composition can be manipulated leading to changes in dough mixing properties is also discussed systematically.

Objective To investigate the value of treadmill exercise test and dipyridamole electrocardiography stress test (DP T) in diagnosis of coronary heart diseases (CHD), with an attemp of developing a safe, effective and simple diagnostic method for patients intolerable to the exercise. Methods Fifty two male patients aged from 41 to 75 years, averaged 58.44?8.79 years and with suspected or confirmed CHD were recruited to perform the treadmill exercise test, DP T and coronary angiography, respectively, within one month. Results The sensitivity and specificity of the treadmill exercise test for diagnosing CHD were 100% and 78.95%, respectively, while those of DP T for diagnosing CHD were 79.31% and 65.22%, respectively.As corresponded to the number of sites of coronary artery lesions,the numbers of cases with positive results revealed were 0, 2, 10 and 17 by the treadmill exercise tests and 0, 6, 11 and 15 by DP T, respectively.Based on the criteria of DP T, the sensitivity and specificity symptom, the changes in electrocardiography (ECG) and the combination of the two, for diagnosing CHD were 72.41%, 65.22%; 65.52%, 82.61%;and 79.31%, 65.22%, respectively. Conclusion The sensitivity and specificity of the treadmill exercise test and the DP T in the diagnosis of CHD were similar. More positive cases were revealed in above mentioned tests as the sites and degree of coronary artery lesion increased. DP T was particularly suitable for helping diagnose CHD in patients intolerable to exercise.
