Objective To investigate the effects of bisoprolol combined with rosuvastatin on endothelial function and inflammation in patients with coronary slow flow (CSF). Methods Ninety CSF patients treated from August 2014 to October 2015 were randomly divided into control group, statin group and combined group, thirty cases in each group. The control group was given conventional therapy (aspirin 100 mg/d and isosorbide mononitrate 60 mg/d), statin group was given rosuvastatin 10 mg/d on the basic of control group, while the combined group was given bisoprolol 5 mg/d on the basic therapy of statin group. The serum concentrations of nitric oxide (NO), endothelin-1(ET-1), high-sensitivity c-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were detected before treatment and 8 weeks after treatment. The improvement of patients with angina pectoris was evaluated. Results After eight-week treatment, the NO levels were significantly increased in combined group and statin group, while the ET-1, hs-CRP and IL-6 levels were significantly decreased than those before the treatment (P<0.05). At the same time, comparing with the statin group and control group, the NO level was increased in combined group (P<0.05), while the ET-1, hs-CRP, and IL-6 levels decreased significantly (P<0.05). There were significant differences in the effective rates between the combined group (90.0%) and the statin group (83.3%), which were higher than those in control group (56.7%). Conclusion Bisoprolol combined with rosuvastatin can improve the endothelial function and anti-inflammatory in the treatment of CSF.

Objective To investigate the expression of survivin in T lymphocytes that were stimulated by Con A and alloantigens in renal grafts in vitro and in vivo. Methods According to the different treatments, the experiment was divided into three parts. (1) The C57BL/6 mice splenocytes stimulated by Con A (10 mg/L) were cultured in the RPMI-1640 medium. Following the proliferation blockade or not, the expression of Survivin in the splenocytes was detected. (2) The GVHR model was established by transfusing the C57BL/6 mice splenocytes into Balb/c× C57BL/6 F1 mice, and the expression of Survivin in the donor splenocytes was detected at the different time points. (3) Seventythree cases of clinical renal allograft biopsy specimens were collected, pathologically diagnosed and classified according to the Banff 97 classification, and then the expression of Survivin was detected.Results Survivin was expressed in the CD3+ splenocytes that received Con A stimulation. The positive cell count reached the peak on the day 3, and subsequently declined. In the GVHR model, the lymphocytes infiltration and Survivin expression were detected around the portal vein and portal area on the post-splenocytes-transfused day (PSTD) 4 to 12. But on the PSTD 14, the Survivin expression could not be detected in the infiltrated lymphocytes. In the renal allograft biopsy specimens,lymphocytes did not express Survivin in 13 specimens of the group without acute cellular rejection.was difference between the two groups (P＜0. 01 ). Conclusion The activated T cells possess the capacity to express Survivin, and the expression is time-dependent. For the characteristics of Survivin expression of T cells, it may be applied as an approach to diagnose the acute cellular rejection and judge its degree and stage in the clinical allograft biopsy specimens.

Conclusion Mieyou Soup may play a role in treatment of H.Pylori-associated gastritis mice of Pi-Wei hygropyrexia syndrome by raising the expression of HSP70, and reducing the expression of AQP4 protein expression.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the correlated serum inflammatory factor and cytokine changes in patients with coronary stent implantation, and to explore the significance of these changes.METHODS: Chinese Journal Full-Text Database was retrieved with search terms of coronary artery disease, percutaneous coronary interventions, inflammation, intimal hyperplasia, apoptosis and platelet-derived growth factor from 1995 to 2008. The language was restrained Chinese. A total of 17 literatures were collected, which concerns the changes of correlated inflammatory factor and cytokine levels and its significance. The literatures were sorted according to research object, experimental grouping,sample collection, assay method, experimental result, as well as experimental conclusion. Simultaneously, the patients received coronary stent implantation was analyzed to explore the significance of inflammatory factor and cytokine changes.RESULTS: The dynamic changed serum inflammatory factor and cytokine in patients with coronary stent implantation may be associated with the following mechanisms:①Endothelial cells were easily damaged in the balloon dilatation or stent implantation,therefore, inflammatory mediators or inflammatory factors were exposed to blood circulation, which stimulating neutrophilic granulocytes and up-regulating leukocyte adhesion molecule CD11b expression. ②Many stimulus could arise nuclear factor induced inflammatory reaction, produce interleukin 6, and stimulate C-reactive protein generation. ③The level of angiotensin Ⅱ increased at several days following stent implantation, and heightened with time prolonged, the proliferation of angiotensin Ⅱ was regulated by platelet-derived growth factor. By increasing the expression of endothelin, the synthesis of endothelin was accelerated, the proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells was promoted, which ultimately resulted in atherogenesis, balloon damage also involved in this process, which may be one of the mechanisms of restenosis.CONCLUSION: The changes of correlated inflammatory factor and cytokine can be served as inflammatory reaction indexes;moreover, soluble CD40 ligand, C-reactive protein and matrix metalloproteinase 9 may be associated with in-stent restenosis.

Object: To investigate the effects of Huaiqihuang Granule, a compound Chinese herbal medicine, on expressions of nephrin and podocin of slit diaphragm of glomerular podocytes in rats with adriamycin-induced nephrosis and to explore the mechanism in reducing the proteinuria. Methods: Twenty SD rats were randomly divided into five groups: control group, model group, glucocorticoid group, Huaiqihuang Granule group and Huaiqihuang Granule plus glucocorticoid group. The 24-hour urine was collected 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after adriamycin injection respectively to measure 24-hour urinary protein, and all rats were sacrificed after 28-day treatment. Pathological changes in renal tissues were observed under a light microscope and an electron microscope. Expressions of nephrin and podocin mRNAs in renal cortex were determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction, and protein levels of nephrin and podocin were detected by Western blotting. Results: (1) In the model group and the treatment groups, the level of urinary protein increased significantly from the 14th day. (2) Under the light microscope, inflammatory cells and slight fibroplasia were found in renal interstitium of the model group, but there were less inflammatory cells in renal interstitium in the intervention groups than in the model group. Under the electron microscope, 29 days after adriamycin injection, extensive fusion of foot processes was observed. (3) The expressions of nephrin and podocin were higher in treatment groups than in the model group. (4) Proteinuria level was negatively correlated with the expressions of nephrin mRNA and nephrin and podocin proteins. Conclusion: The above results indicate that Huaiqihuang Granule can maintain the integrity of the slid diaphragram in podocyte, alleviate the lesion of glomerular filtration membrane, and decrease the proteinuria by up-regulating the expressions of nephrin and podocin. Huaiqihuang Granule plus glucocorticoid maybe has better effects than glucocorticoid alone.
