Objective To observe the effect of Shenqi Decoction on inflammation and immune reaction, immune state, restenosis (RS) after implantation of stents in patients with coronary artery disease, and to investigate its mechanism. Methods Eighty-eight patients with coronary artery disease after implantation of stents were randomly divided into the treatment group (45 cases) and the control group (43 cases). The control group was treated with routine treatment, and the treatment group was treated with Shenqi Decoction additionally for six months. RS rate, the level of hs-CRP, the marker of activation of T lymphocytes (CD3+/HLA-DR+), sIL-2R and the scores of blood-stasis syndrome and deficiency of Qi syndrome were observed. Results The RS rate in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group (P

The early characterization of the diazepam-binding sites outside the brain led to their assignment as peripheralbenzodiazepine receptors, or PBRs, to distinguish them from the central benzodiazepine receptor.Although PBR is a widely used and accepted name in the scientific community,recent data regarding the structure and molecular function of this protein increasingly support renaming it to represent more accurately its subcellular role (or roles) and putative tissue-specific function (or functions). Translocator protein (18 ku,TSPO), is proposed as a new name, regardless of the subcellular localization of the protein. This review deals with the pharmacological, structural and molecular characterization of the PBR and its role in the neuropshcopharmacology.

Objective:To study the Clinical efficacy of combined therapy of adenosylcobalamin and transcutaneous eletrical nerve stimulation(TENS)in the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia(PHN).Method:Sixty patients with PHN were randomly divided into 3 groups:group A treated with TENS.group B treated with adenosylcobalamin,group C treated with adenosylcobalamin and TENS based on the management of groups A and B.The three groups had all been treated for 10d.Result:In observation,visual analogue scale(VAS)and 5 grade pain scores of group C were lower than those of groups A and B;VAS and 5 grade pain scores differences of group C were higher than those of groups A and B:The effective rate of group C(100%)was higher than that of groups A and B respectively.The differences were significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:Combined therapy of adenosylcobalamin and TENS is effective for the treatment of PHN and can alleviate pain and improve sleep.

Regulator of G-protein signaling 5 (RGS5) belongs to RGS family,which can negatively regulate the conduction of this signaling pathway.RGS5 mainly expresses in vascular pericyte,and is closely related to the occurrence,development and maturation of the blood vessels.Loss of RGS5 results in pericyte maturation,tumor vascular normalization,and these changes can improve the curative effect combined with chemotherapy and immunotherapy,indicating that RGS5 may become a new target of anti-tumor treatment.In addition,RGS5 involves in tumor metastasis and apoptosis,which can improve antineoplastic effect by inducing tumor cells apoptosis.

AIM: To amplify and analyze the differential DNA fragment between pathogenic leptospira serovar lai and nonpathagenic leptospira serovar patoc I. METHODS: The previously subtractive DNA fragment only existing in leptospira serovar Lai was amplified by cassette ligation and semi-nested PCR.The obtained gene was sequenced and searched homologically. In addition, the deduced amino acid was analyzed and the secondary stracture of protein was predicted. RESULTS: The 580 bp DNA fragment, which deposited in GenBank (AF495587), was cloned, and four overlapping open reading frames (ORF) was contained. The high homology with conserved hypothetical protein streptococcus pyogenes was found. CONCLUSION: This study lays foundation for deeply exploring biological actions of new gene and pathogenic mechanism of leptospira serovar lai.

Objective To discuss the effect of three-dimensional conformal hypofractionated high-dose radiotherapy on non-small cell lung cancer in the elderly. Methods All patients were treated by the same way of fraction radiotherapy,with a prescription dose of 4-5?Gy,every other day,to a total dose of 48-55?Gy. Results Complete response was observed in 23(51.1%) patients,partial response in 15(33.3%) patients, with the overall response rate of 84.4%. The overall 1-,2-,3-year survival rates were 66.7%,48.9% and 39.1%.Conclusions Three-dimensional conformal hypofractionated high-dose radiotherapy is safe and effective, giving mild untoward side-effects.

OBJECTIVE:To probe into the mechanism of Shenqi decoction on inhibiting apoptpsis of myocardial cell in?duced by ischemic reperfusion.METHODS:The mice were randomly divided into Shenqi decoction group(high,middle and low dosage groups),isosorbide dinitrate control group,blank control group and model group.The Shenqi decoction group and isosorbide dinitrate group were respectively administered with drugs by lavage for5days while the blank control group and model group were respectively administered with normal sodium by lavage for5days.Except the blank control group the is?chemic reperfusion model of each group was made,then the activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD),the level of malondi?aldehyde(MDA)of cardiac muscle tissues were determined;the apoptotic index of myocardial cells and the expression of apoptosis-correlated protein Bcl-2and Bax were analyzed.RESULTS:Compared with the model group,the SOD activity and Bcl-2express index have been increased,but MDA level and bax express index have been decreased in Shenqi decoction group.CONCLUSION:Shenqi decoction does have a good protection effect on myocardial ischemia and myocardial cell injury induced by postischemia reperfusion.

BACKGROUND: Immunonutrition therapy can increase the synthesis of proteins with shorten half-life, regulate the local and whole body cytokines production, make the intestinal structure and functional integrity, up-regulate the immunity-inhibiting after operation through the improvement of cellular immune function. It has been proved that the appropriate nutritional therapy during perioperative period can improve the patients' immune function; however, enteral immunonutrition (EIN) in patients undergoing liver transplantation is rarely reported. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of EIN therapy during liver transplantation.METHODS: Eighty-four patients undertaking liver transplantation were randomly divided into two groups, namely EIN group and regular enteral nutrition (EN) group (given EIN and common EN respectively). The liver function, cellular immunity, humoral immunity, infection and the incidence of rejection were monitored in order to compare the therapeutic efficacy of two kinds of nutrition therapies. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The serum prealbumin and cholinesterase levels were impressively higher in the EIN group at 1 day before operation than before nutritional therapy. The expressions of CD3+ and CD4+ were significantly higher in the EIN group than the EN group at 1 day before operation (P < 0.05). The recovery of cell immunity was delayed 1 week in the EN group as compared with the EIN group; at 1-28 days after operation, IgA level was higher in the EIN group than in the EN group (P < 0.05). No increase in the incidence of infections occurred in the two groups. The results suggest that the EIN can improve the cell immunity and humoral immunity with a better effect than the EN. The EIN therapy is necessary for the rehabilitation of patients undergoing liver transplantation at the perioperative stage.
