Chinese Journal of Biochemical Pharmaceutics 2017;37(5):318-320
Objective To investigate the effect of atorvastatin on the curative effect and cardiovascular events in patients with unstable angina pectoris.Methods128 patients with UAP were enrolled in Jinhua Central Hospital from August 2014 to August 2016, and 128 patients with UAP were randomly divided into observation group and control group.All the patients were given low salt and low fat diet.Two groups of patients were anti-platelet aggregation, blood pressure, lipid-lowering and other conventional treatment, observation group on the basis of simultaneous atorvastatin calcium 40mg/d, oral, once every month.The levels of TC, TG and LDL-C, HDL-C and the incidence of cardiovascular events were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.ResultsThere was no case of cardiac death in the observation group and the control group.The incidence of cardiovascular events in the observation group was 9.38%, which was significantly different from that in the control group (P<0.05).The levels of TC, TC and LDL-C in the observation group were significantly higher than those before treatment and control group, respectively.The clinical effect of the observation group was significantly better than that of the control group, the difference was significant (P<0.05).ConclusionAtorvastatin can significantly improve the efficacy of unstable angina treatment, and reduce blood lipid levels, reducing the incidence of cardiovascular events, improve the prognosis.

Objective To inquire clinical effects of hysteroscopic electroresection in the treatment of submucous hysteromyoma. Methods A retrospective analysis regarding curative effects of hysteroscopic electroresection in 72 cases of submucous hysteromyoma was carried out. Results The resected myoma was 1.5~7 cm in diameter, and the number of resected myoma was 1~3. The operation time was 10~90 min (mean, 30 min). The operation was accomplished on one session in all the 72 cases. No uterine perforation, bleeding and bowel injuries took place. Postoperative follow-up for 4~20 months in the 72 cases reported a satisfaction rate of 97 2% (70/72). Out of 6 patients who had pregnancy desire, 2 were pregnant with child and 1 of them had a delivery. Conclusions Hysteroscopic electroresection in the treatment of submucous hysteromyoma is safe and effective. It can markedly improve the menstruation and elevate the pregnancy rate.

Fibrosis is a pathological process characterized by tissue scars and can occur in many organs of the human body. Organ fibrosis is manifested by increased fibrous connective tissue and reduced parenchymal cells in organ tissues, which can lead to destruction of organ structures and reduced function, which seriously endangers human health. Current strategies for treating organ fibrosis include: blocking the transforming growth factor-

Estimation of postmortem interval(PMI) by ocular tissues has been a new top subject in the forensic research and practice ifelds. A lot of research results showed that the changes of cornea, retina, vitreous humor and aqueous humor and so on exist a high linear correlation with PMI, which can be used to estimate PMI. This paper reviewed recent progress of study on them.

Objective To compare the cervical intervertebral movements produced by posteroanterior cervical mobilization and posteroanterior cervical mobilization combined with cervical traction by using the radiographic measurement.Methods The study recruited 12 normal volunteers (6 men,6 women),aged 18 to 25 years (22.9±4.7 years),heighted (164± 7)cm and weighed (54.7 ± 7.6)kg.All the subjects were administered with posteroanterior cervical mobilization followed by posteroanterior cervical mobilization while having cervical traction,or vice versa,with an interval of 2 days in between.The X-ray films were collected before and after the treatment,using 4 static cervical lateral views.The axial displacement of posterior and anterior intervertebral separation (IVS),and the shear displacement of vertebral body as well as the rotation and displacement rate of the motion segments in the sagittal plane before and after the treatment were measured on the radiographic images and compared.Results It was shown that the posteroanterior cervical mobilization produced greater C2-C7 rotation range of motion in the sagittal plane,as compared to that by the posteroanterior mobilization while having cervical traction (P < 0.05).The posteroanterior mobilization produced a significantly greater increase of anterior IVS of the C5 segment and the summation of C2-C7 posterior IVS than those by posteroanterior mobilization while having cervical traction (P < 0.05).However,the posterior IVS and the posterior zygapophysial joints separation of C2-C7 produced by the posteroanterior mobilization during traction were more prominent (P < 0.05).There was no statistical difference between anteroposterior displacements of the vertebral body produced by the two interventions.Comparing with the baseline,the posteroanterior mobilization caused posterior movement of the vertebral bodies of C5 to C2,while the posteroanterior cervical mobilization during traction produced posterior movement of C5 to C2 vertebral bodies and anterior movement of C6 body.Conclusion The cervical posteroanterior mobilization significantly increased the lordosis from C3 to C7,and reduced posterior IVS and zygapophysial joints separation.However,the posteroanterior mobilization during traction changed the intervertebral movements.

Aim To compare the advantage of different methods of terminating early pregnancy. Methods 684 women in early pregnancy(≤49 d) were allocated into three groups according to their request: Group A (medical abortion,n=241), taking (po) mifepristone 25 mg every 12 h for three days and then taking misopostol 600 ?g at 8:00 on the forth day; Group B (induced abortion, n=220), taking the routine intrauterine operation by vacuum aspirator; and Group C (medical with induced abortion, n=223), inserting a Gongshuan suppository into rectum 0.5~2 h before induced abortion operation. Some indices were compared, including the efficacy, vaginal bleeding volume and time, side effects and acceptability of the three abortion methods. Results The abortion effects of Group C and B are better than that of Group A (P

Objective To investigate the effect of calcipotriol on melanin synthesis by human melanocytes and its possible action mechanism.Methods Primary melanocytes were cultured with various concentrations(10~(-5),10~(-6),10~(-7),10~(-8),10~(-9),10~(-10) mol/L)of calcipotriol for 24 or 48 hours.Subsequently,MTT assay,NaoH assay.Dopa-oxidase assay,Western blot and semiquantitative RT-PCR were used to measure the cell proliferation of,melanin synthesis by.tyrosinase activity,protein and mRNA expression levels in the melanocytes.respectively.Those untreated melanocytes served as the control.Results The calcipotriol between 10~(-9) and 10~(-5) mol/L had no significant effect on the proliferation of cultured melanocytes(P>0.05).while that of 10~(-9) and 10~(-8) mol/L increased tyrosinase activity by 137%and 123%,and enhanced melanin synthesis by 40.63%and 18.75%,respectively,compamd with untreated melanocytes(both P<0.05).Moreover,the tyrosinase protein level increased by 270.4%(P<0.05)in melanocytes treated with calcipotriol at 10~(-9) mol/L for 24 hours.The strongest tyrosinase activity and melanin synthesis was observed in melanocytes treated with calcipotriol of 10~(-9) moI/L.Conclusions The proliferation of melanocytes is unaffected by calcipotriol at 10~(-9) to 10~(-5) mol/L,but it can elevate the expression of tyrosinase protein,enhance tyrosinase activity,and promote melanin synthesis in melanocytes.

AIM: To investigate the effect of mfn2 on mitochondrial function in steatosis hepatocytes. METHODS: Plasmid pEGFP-mfn2 was transfected into hepatocyte strain L02 by Lipofectamine 2000 in vitro, then the steatosis model of hepatocytes was establish by oleic acid induction. RT-PCR was used to evaluate mRNA expression and Western blotting was use to detect the protein expression. ATP level was determined by firefly luciferase bioluminescent. ROS production was measured by fluorescence probe DCFH-DA. Chondrosome transmembrane potential of L02 was observed by labeling of JC-1 and FCM. RESULTS: The stable expression of ectogenesis mitofusin2 in L02 cells was confirmed by RT-PCR and Western blotting. In the model of oleic acids induced lipid formation, Mfn2 obviously inhibited the descent of chondrosome transmembrane potential and ATP level, and increased ROS production in L02 cells. CONCLUSION: Up-regulated expression of mfn2 attenuates mitochondria dysfunction caused by oleic acids induced lipid formation.
