AIM: To study the effects of different dose proportioning the danggui-shaoyao powder (DS) on learning and memory and the content of NO in brain in mice. METHODS: The ability of learning and memory was measured by the step-through task and the water maze task. The content of NO in brain was determined referring to the reagent manual. RESULTS: All different dose proportion of DS promoted the memory of normal mice. And only DS 1 (1 5.4) and DS 3 (1 1.34) obviously improved the scopolamine-induced mice passive avoidance handicap, prolonged the latency, and decreased number of errors. DS 3(1 1.34) obviously improved reserpine-induced mice spatial orientation handicap and prolonged the latency; others had no remarkable effect on spatial orientation handicap of mice. And all different dose proportions of DS could reduce the content of NO in the brain of passive avoidance disruption mice induced by scopolamine. CONCLUSION: DS 3 (1 1.34) improves passive avoidance handicap and spatial orientation handicap of mice, and reduced the content of NO in the brain of passive avoidance handicap mice induced by scopolamine. The effect of DS 3(1 1.34) is the best on benefiting memory.

Objective To develop an evaluation index system of health management services for the elderly with the perspective of combining medical service and long term care, and laying the foundation for the field assessment. Methods Using Delphy expert consultation method to improve Andersen health service utilization model. Excel was used for data input, SPSS 22.0 statistical software was used for analyzing the data from the expert consultation questionnaire to determine the importance and feasibility of the scores including mean, standard deviation and coefficient of variation. Constituent ratio analysis was done for expert positive coefficient, and the expert authority coefficient and coordination coefficient were analyzed by chi square test. The indicator's weight was calculated by using average method and multiplicative cumulative combination weighting. Results We constructed the framework for evaluating the effectiveness of health management service for the elderly in the community, the evaluation index system of the community health service was established. The system included 4 first level indicators, 12 second level indicators, 35 third level indicators, each index had a corresponding weight. Conclusions The evaluation index system is an effective way to assess health management service, selection of the indexes should be consistent with the connotation and characteristics of elderly health management under new aging care policy. Further empirical investigation is needed to modify the index system in order to provide decision-making basis for improving and regulating health management services for the elderly.

Compound libraries and chemical synthesis play important roles in drug discovery and development, and efficient synthetic techniques can greatly facilitate the drug research. This review highlights the application of some efficient synthetic techniques in drug research including microwave chemistry, click chemistry, combinatorial chemistry, cascade reactions and multicomponent reactions, as well as the construction of diverse and drug-like compound libraries.

Water solubility is an essential physical chemistry property of organic small molecule drug and is also a very important issue in drug discovery. Good water solubility often leads to a good drug potency and pleasant pharmacokinetic profiles. To improve water solubility, structure modification is a straight and effective way based on the theory of water solubility. This review summarized valid structure modification strategies for improving water solubility including salt formation, polar group introduction, liposolubility reduction, conformation optimization and prodrug.

Objective To study the convenient, safe and effective surgical intervention methods for correcting prominent wide lower face. Methods According to the wideness of mandibular angles, single or combined surgical treatments were performed by an intraoral approach under nerve block and local infiltration anesthesia, such as grinding mandibular angles, curved osteotomy of the angles and osteotomy of ascending ramus outer layer, partial masseter muscle resection, partial buccal fat pad removal and liposuction of cheek to reconstruct the whole lower face contour. Resnlts In the 71 cases followed up for 4 to 24 months, 60 cases were excellent, 9 were acceptable and 2 were unsatisfactory. The total satisfactory rate was 97 %. Conclusion According to the characteristics of prominent wide lower face, single or combined surgical treatments are performed to reconstruct the bone and soft tissue of lower face. This operative method is simple, safe and consistent with cosmetic surgery principle with little complications.

Objective:To compare expression levels of matrix Gla protein (MGP) and bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) in Randall's plaque of renal papillary tissues in patients with calcium oxalate kidney stones and the underlying mechanism for stone formation.Methods:A total of 30 samples of Randall's plaque in renal papillary tissues from patients with calcium oxalate kidney stones were collected from the Department of Urology of Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from April,2015 to December,2015 and served as an experimental group.Ten samples of renal papillary tissues in patients undergone renal tumor nephrectomy were collected from the same hospital and served as a control group.The expressions of MGP and BMP-2 mRNA and protein were detected by quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot.Meanwhile,immunohistochemical technique was used to observe the expressions of MGP and BMP-2 in different parts of renal papillary tissues in the 2 groups.Results:1) The mRNA expression levels of MGP in the experimental group and the control group were 0.760±0.804 and 1.365±0.348,respectively,with significant difference between them (P＜0.05).Them RNA levels of BMP-2 in the experimental group and the control group were 2.500±0.725 and 1.485±0.870,respectively,with significant difference between them (P＜0.05).The expression levels of MGP protein in the experimental group and the control group were 0.130±0.424 and 0.202±0.704,respectively,with no significant difference between them (P＞0.05).The expression levels of BMP-2 protein in the experimental group and the control group were 0.885±0.220 and 0.682±0.272,respectively,with significant difference between them (P＜0.05).T-he immunohistochemistry showed that the protein expression of MGP in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group,while the protein expression of BMP-2 in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group (both P＜0.05).Conclusion:The BMP-2 expression is increased while MGP expression is decreased in renal papillary tissues in patients with calcium oxalate kidney stones,and the formation of calcium oxalate kidney stone might be a kind ofosteogenetic reaction or ectopic calcification.

AIM: To investigate the effect of glomerular intercellular interaction under high glucose concentration on the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and transforming growth factor ?_1 (TGF-?_1) in co-cultured human ECV304 cells, and to study the intervention with tea polyphenols (TPs). METHODS: The endothelial cells were cultured alone or co-cultured with mesangial cells in high glucose media with or without TPs for 0 h, 12 h and 36 h, respectively. The activity of SOD and the content of MDA in the media of the system were detected by spectrophotometry. The expression of TGF-?_1 mRNA in the endothelial cells was measured by using semi-quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR). RESULTS: High glucose decreased the activity of SOD, increased the content of MDA and up-regulated the expression of TGF-?_1 mRNA in co-cultured ECV304 cells and the effect became more prominent than the single-cultured cells. TPs interrupted it more effectively. CONCLUSION: These data suggest that there is interaction between mesangial cells and ECV304 cells under high glucose concentration. The interaction may markedly up-regulate the production of ROS and the expression of TGF-?_1 in co-cultured ECV304 cells. TPs may protect ECV304 cells by intervening intercellular interaction.
