Objective: To study the antifungal activity of triazole alcohols by introduction of n-butyl and triazole as side chains. Methods: A total of 16 compounds of 1-(1H-1, 2, 4-triazole-1-yl)-2-(2, 4-difluorophenyl)-3-substituted-2-propanol were synthesized and characterized by 1HNMR and LC-MS. The in vitro antifungal activities of the compounds were determined by tests with 8 human pathogenic fungi. Results: It was found that all the 16 title compounds exhibited antifungal activities, and compounds 7b, 7d, 7e and 7i had antifungal activities stronger than fluconazole, similar to itraconazole. Conclusion: Introduction of n-butyl and triazole side chain can confer antifungal activities to the compounds.

Objective: To analyze the metabolic pathways of salidroside when gavaged to rats, and to identify its in vivo metabolites. Methods: A UPLC-Q-TOF-MS method was established and applied to identify the metabolites of salidroside in bile, urine, feces, and plasma samples after ig administration of salidroside 200 mg/kg to rats. Results: A total of 20 metabolites were characterized in rats. The dominant metabolic pathways of salidroside include glucuronidation, acetylation, sulfation, and methylation. Conclusion: Salidroside undergoes extensive phases I and II metabolism in rats. The main excretion path is the phase II conjugated metabolites via urine, feces, and bile. The parent drug of salidroside is the main exposure material in plasma.

Objective To explore the recurrence-prevention effect of oral contraceptive and levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (Mirena) after hysteroscopic endometrial polypectomy.Methods One hundred and seventy-four patients who received hysteroscopic endometrial polypectomy were enrolled in this research.The patients were informed and divided into three groups according to their selection:51 cases were given oral contraceptive since one month until 12 months after the surgery (oral contraceptive group); 60 cases were received Mirena since one month after the surgery (Mirena group) ; and 64 cases were received no treatment after the surgery (control group).The groups were followed up at 3,6,12 months after the surgery and compared the recurrence rate,menstruation,level of hemoglobin and complication rate.Results The recurrence rate in oral contraceptive group,Mirena group and control group was 3.9％(2/51),3.3％ (2/60) and 19.0％ (12/63),respectively.The recurrence rate in control group was higher than that in oral contraceptive group and Mirena group,and there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).The proportion of low menstruation volume in control group was lower than that in oral contraceptive group and Mirena group,and there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).The level of hemoglobin in control group was lower than that in oral contraceptive group and Mirena group [(124.55 ±9.33) g/L vs.(133.71 ± 11.03),(135.89 ±6.88) g/L],and there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).The incidence of complication in Mirena group [18.3％ (11/60)] was less than that in oral contraceptive group[35.3％(18/51)],and there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Oral contraceptive and Mirena after hysteroscopy for endometrial polys significantly decrease the recurrence rate.The complication rate of Mirena is lower and it is a safe and effective way to treat and prevent the endometrial polyp.

Venous valve plays an important role in regulating the venous flow,especially in preventing the blood backflow.It has heen observed that when deep vein thrombosis and dissolved,the valves in the lesions had been destroied or dysfunction.The mechanism of damage of vein valve has not been fully clarified,but as we know,it's common that the inflammatory reaction,due to many unfavorable factors,can cause thrombosis.On the other hand,deep vein thrombosis could bring out the inflammatory reaction as well.So the author will review the development of researching of the destruction of venous valves in recent years.

Background and purpose: MicroRNA(miRNA) is a class of small non-coding RNA playing an important regulatory role in many diseases. In this study, we explore the levels of miR-192 and zinc ifnger E-box binding homeobox 2 (ZEB2) in CRC, the clinical signiifcance of miR-192 and the correlation between the expression of miR-192 and ZEB2 protein. Methods: The expression levels of miR-192 and ZEB2 mRNA in 30 colorectal carcinoma samples, 30 corresponding cancer-adjacent tissue samples (from the edge of tumor≥5 cm), 25 colorectal adenoma samples, and 15 normal tissue samples were quantiifed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). ZEB2 protein expression was determined using Western blot. The relationship between the miR-192 and clinicopathological factors, miR-192 and ZEB2 protein expression was analyzed. Results:Signiifcant upregulation of miR-192 expression and reduction of ZEB2 mRNA and protein expression were identiifed in CRC tissues, compared to cancer-adjacent tissues, colorectal adenoma samples, and normal tissues (P<0.05). Low miR-192 levels were signiifcantly associated with lymph node (P=0.021) and distant metastasis (P=0.023). An inverse relationship between miR-192 and ZEB2 protein expression was identified in CRC group (r=-0.365, P<0.05). Conclusion: MiR-192 downexpression was correlated with CRC metastasis. MiR-192 may play a role in the development and progression of CRC through ZEB2.

Methods BEAS-2 B airway epithelial cells were cultured in vitro,and were stimulated by neutrophil elastase(NE).Reactive oxygen species(ROS)scavenger(DMTU),hyaluronidase(Hase),CD44 antibody and tissue kallikrein(TK)inhibitor(PI)were served as interventional factors,and control group(serum free culture),NE stimulation group(50 nmol/L NE),DMTU+NE group(20μmol/L DMTU+50 nmol/L NE),DMTU+Hase+NE group(20 μmol/L DMTU+10μg/mL Hase+50 nmol/L NE),CD44Ab+NE group(5 μg/mL CD44Ab+50 nmol/LNE)and PI+NE group(1 00μg/mL PI+50 nmol/L NE)were established.The expression of mucin(MUC)5AC mRNA was detected by RT-PCR,the expression of MUC5AC and EGF protein was determined by ELISA,and the expression of phosphorylated epidermal growth factor receptor(p-EGFR)protein was analysed by Western blotting. Results The expression of MUC5AC,EGF and p-EGFR protein and MUC5AC mRNA in NE stimulation group was significantly higher than that in control group(P<0.01),the expression in DMTU+NE group was significantly lower than that in NE stimulation group(P<0.01),the expression in MTU+Hase+NE group was significantly higher than that in DMTU+NE group(P<0.05 for MUC5AC and p-EGFR protein and MUC5AC mRNA,and P<0.01 for EGF protein),the expression in CD44Ab+NE group and PI+NE group was significantly higher than that in NE stimulation group(P<0.05 for MUC5AC and p-EGFR protein and MUC5AC mRNA,and P<0.01 for EGF protein). Conclusion NE up-regulates the expression of MUC5AC gene via ROS/HA/CD44/TK/EGF/EGFR signal transduction pathway in airway epithelial cells.

METHODS: A computer-based online search of CNKI, CBM and VIP as well as manual search were performed to collect articles about random cell control experiments and animal experiments of biological material biocompatibility published between 1990 and 2008. A total of 28 Chinese literatures were collected, and 7 were included mainly involving the cytotoxicity test methods and blood compatibility of the experimental medium, experimental grouping, experimental materials, methods of observation, experimental results, and experimental conclusion. In addition, biocompatibility of the biological material was analyzed to summarize the biocompatibility of the biological safety.

Methods 22 suspected cases were examined by bolus chase, and then the images were mosaiced to a full picture after processing by Paste to judge the image effects of vessels. Results This method could display the whole image by one injection of contrast media. Vary lesions were found in the 22 cases. Conclusion This method can display the lower extremities lesions directly, which is better than traditional DSA.
