Objectives To analyze the characteristics of serum protein electrophoresis(SPE)in chronic heart failure(CHF) patients,evaluate prognostic value and explore the reason of it preliminarily.Methods Retrospective exploration of 6 1 8 chronic heart failure patients in study cohort (CHF cohort)and 70 patients with normal cardiac function in control cohort was made to comp are the difference of serum protein electrophoresis.Then,CHF Patients were tracked down by phone to discuss the correlation between adverse event rate (re-hospitalization rate or mortality rate)and their SPE.Last,the multiple linear regression analysis of SPE and biochemical indicators was made to explore the reason of the abnormality.Results Pa-tients of CHF cohort appeared to have significantly rising beta 1-gobulin(6.01±1.06)%,compared with control cohort(t=3.417,P<0.001).Post-discharge adverse event rate displayed by the curve demonstrated that patients with beta 1-gobulin higher than or equal to 6% had much more adverse event rate than those with beta 1-gobulin less than 6%,in 7 to 24 months after discharged from the hospital,which had been proved by the Chi-square test of 0.031(P<0.05).Multiple linear regres-sion analysis showed that beta 1-globulin and serum creatinine,uric acid,and sodium were significantly correlated.Conclusion CHF patients had higher beta 1-gobulin of SPE probably because of immunoactivation,which may increase their re-hospi-talization rate ormortality rate after hospital discharge.Meanwhile,growing beta 1-gobulin is closely correlated with blood creatinine,uric acid and blood natrium and becomesa risk of kidney dysfunction due to hypoperfusion and accumulation of se-rum immunoglobulin.

Objective To analyze death causes in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiac rupture.Methods The patients who were admitted with cardiac rupture after acute myocardial infarction in Beijing Anzhen Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2012 to December 2014 were enrolled.These patients were divided into death group and survival group.Then statistical analysis was performed for the clinical data of these patients in two groups,Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors with statistical significance.Results A total of 59 patients diagnosed cardiac rupture after acute myocardial infarction were enrolled in this study,including 50 patients died,and 9 patients survived.There were significant differences between the two groups of patients with clinical baseline data.Compared with the survival group,death group had higher age ((69.94 ± 9.24) years old vs.(61.56 ± 9.14) years old,t =2.511,P =0.015),the higher incidence of malignant arrhythmia (22.0% vs.0,x2 =4.070,P =0.044),the lower proportion of alcohol abuse (12.0% vs.44.4%,x2 =5.704,P =0.017),higher fasting blood glucose ((8.97 ±3.98) mmol/L vs.(6.06± 1.25) mmol/L,t =4.153,P<0.01) and triglycerides ((1.78±0.50) mmol/L vs.(1.39±0.20) mmol/L,t =4.146,P<0.01),higher proportion of pulmonary arterial hypertension(22.0% vs.0,x2 =4.070,P =0.044) and brain natriuretic peptide (406.50 (110.00,570.28) ng/L vs.33.00 (20.00,176.00) ng/L,P=0.004),smaller the left ventricular end diastolic diameter((47.76±5.13) mm vs.(52.22 ±4.66) mm,t =-2.434,P =0.018).The use of fondaparinux sodium (26.0% vs.0,x2 =4.920,P =0.027),heparin (48.0% vs.88.9%,x2 =5.138,P =0.023) and nitrates (72.0% vs.100.0%,x2 =5.361,P =0.021)were significantly differences.The occurrence of acute heart failure in patients in death group was significantly higher than the survival group (11.0% vs.0,x2 =3.258,P =0.071),but the difference was not significant.Logistic regression analysis showed that old age (OR =1.151),fasting blood glucose (OR =1.974)and heart rupture were significandy correlated (P< 0.05).Conclusion Cardiac rupture patients have a high mortality rate after myocardial infarction.Advanced age and fasting blood glucose were risk factors,while the use of common heparin is protective factor.Patients should be evaluated in a timely manner to assess the prognosis and to take targeted measures.

This study was aimed to establish a HPLC method for the determination of isogarcinol. Daojin Inertsil WP300 C18 (4.6 mm× 150 mm, 5μm) was employed with methanol and water (75?25) as the mobile phase. The flow rate was 1.0 mL·min-1. The column temperature was set at 40°C. The detection wavelengthγ was set at 277 nm. The results showed that the linear range of isogarcinol was 0.005 7-0.039 9μg. The average recovery rate was 99.58%. The relative standard deviation (RSD) was 1.25%. The contents of isogarcinol inGarcinia mangostana,Garcinia oblongifolia,Garcinia oligantha,Cratoxylum cochinchinense andCalophyllum membranaceum were 0.285%, 0.199%, 0.857%, 0.161% and 0.006%, respectively. Isogarcinol was not detected inCratoxylum formosum orCalophyllum inophyllum. It was concluded that the method was convenient, accurate with high sensitivity, good stability and repeatability. It can be used for determination of isogarcinol content in Chinese herbal medicine.

Aim Toinvestigatingtheinductionof CYPs in hepatocytes or HepG2 cells by triptolide(TP) andthepossiblemechanism.Methods AfterTPtreat-ment,the expression of CYPs in rat primary hepato-cytes or human HepG2 cells was detected by real-time PCR and Western blot assays.Specific inhibitors or gene knockdown method were employed to analyze the possiblemechanism.Results Theexpressionof CYP1A2,2C7,2C11,2C12,2D2,2E1 and 3A1 in rat primary hepatocytes was induced by TP.The fold was 19,2,31,3,21,88 and 34 at 50 nmol·L-1, respectively while at 100 nmol·L-1 it was 20,5,30,23,61,83 and 38,respectively.In HepG2 cells,the expression of human CYP1A1,2B6,2C9,2C19, 2D6,2E1 and 3A4 was also induced by TP.The ac-tivities of nuclear receptor PXR and CAR were inhibi-ted.TP upregulated p53 expression,and the induction of several CYPs caused by TP was blocked when p53 wasinhibited.Conclusions TPinducesCYPsexpres-sion in rat hepatocytes and HepG2 cells.Nuclear re-ceptors may not be involved in TP induced CYPs, while the mechanism may partly attribute to p53.

Objective To prepare scutellarin liposomes and to investigate the pharmacokinetics in rats. Methods The liposomes of scutellarin coated with carbopol were prepared with the film dispersion method.Minicolumn centrifugation method was applied to measure the encapsulation efficiency (EE) before and after coating. SD rats were randomly divided into three groups, which were given intragastric administration of scutellarin suspension, scutellarin liposomes, and carbopol-coated scutellarin liposomes, respectively. And then the pharmacokinetic parameters were compared. Results Carbopol-coated scutellarin liposomes after intragastric administration in rats showed pharmacokinetic characteristics of two-compartment model. The main pharmacokinetic parameters of scutellarin suspension,scutellarin liposomes,and carbopol-coated scutellarin liposomes were as follows:AUC0-∞(50.03±13.45) μg?h?mL-1 ,(78.99±20.28) μg?h?mL-1 ,and (107.97±27.26) μg?h?mL-1 , respectively. Conclusion After coated liposomes, the oral bioavailability of scutellarin 1iposomes can be significantly improved,and the maximum drug concentration also increased.
