Rosuvastatin(RVS)is an excellent drug with anti-inflammatory and lipid-lowering properties in the aca-demic and medical fields.However,this drug faces a series of challenges when used to treat atherosclerosis caused by hyperhomocysteinemia(HHcy),including high oral dosage,poor targeting,and long-term toxic side effects.In this study,we applied nanotechnology to construct a biomimetic nano-delivery system,macrophage membrane(M?m)-coated RVS-loaded Prussian blue(PB)nanoparticles(MPR NPs),for improving the bioavailability and targeting capacity of RVS,specifically to the plaque lesions associated with HHcy-induced atherosclerosis.In vitro assays demonstrated that MPR NPs effectively inhibited the Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)/hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α)/nucleotide-binding and oligomerization domain(NOD)-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3(NLRP3)signaling pathways,reducing pyroptosis and inflammatory response in macrophages.Additionally,MPR NPs reversed the abnormal distribution of adenosine triphosphate(ATP)-binding cassette transporter A1(ABCA1)/ATP binding cassette transporter G1(ABCA1)/ATP binding cassette transporter G1(ABCG1)caused by HIF-1α,promoting cholesterol efflux and reducing lipid deposition.In vivo studies using apolipoprotein E knockout(ApoE-/-)mice confirmed the strong efficacy of MPR NPs in treating atherosclerosis with favorable bio-security,and the mechanism behind this efficacy is believed to involve the regulation of serum metabolism and the remodeling of gut microbes.These findings suggest that the synthesis of MPR NPs provides a promising nanosystem for the targeted therapy of HHcy-induced atherosclerosis.

OBJECTIVE:To study th e improvement effect and mechanism of Dajianzhong decoction on irritable bowel syndrome(IBS)visceral pain model rats. METHODS :Totally 48 male non-weaning rats were randomly divided into normal control group ,model group ,pinaverium bromide group (positive control ,45 mg/kg)and Dajianzhong decoction high-dose , medium-dose and low-dose groups (2.16,1.08,0.54 g/kg,by crude drug ),with 8 rats in each group. Except for normal control group,IBS visceral pain model was established by mother and child separation ,acetic acid enema ,ovalbumin intraperitoneal Remote limb precondition - ing protects against ischemia induced neuronal death through ameliorating neuronal oxidative DNA damage injection in other groups for 57 d. On the 58th day ,the rats in administration groups were given the corresponding drugs intragastrically,and model group and normal control group were given constant volume of purified water ,once a day ,for consecutive 14 d. The general condition of rats was observed ;abdominal wall withdrawal reaction (AWR)was adopted to evaluate the visceral sensitivity of rats in each group under 20,40,60,and 80 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa)pressure;HE staining method was used to observe the colon pathological features of rats in each group. Western blotting assay was used to detect the protein expression of intestinal glial cells markers fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP),nerve growth factor (NGF)and its receptor TrkA in colon tissue. RESULTS :The mucosal layer of colon tissue in rats of model group was discontinuous ,gland edema was observed and lymphocytes ,neutrophils and eosinophils were scattered in the lamina propria. In Dajianzhong decoction low-does group,the mucosal layer of colon tissue was incomplete ,some glands were slightly edematous ,and a few lymphocytes , neutrophils in the lamina propria. The colonic mucosa epithelial structure was intact ,glands arranged regularly ,and no degenerative necrosis and inflammatory cells were observed in Dajianzhong decoction medium- and high-dose groups and pinaverium bromide group. Compared with normal control group ,AWR scores under 20,40,and 60 mmHg pressure ,relative protein expression of GFAR ,NGF and TrkA were all increased significantly in model group and Dajianzhong decoction low-does groups(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with model group ,AWR scores under 20,and 40 mmHg pressure in Dajianzhong decoction medium- and high-dose groups and pinaverium bromide group ,AWR scores under 60 mmHg pressure in Dajianzhong decoction high-dose group and pinaverium bromide group ,relative protein expression of GFAP ,NGF,TrkA in colon tissue in Dajianzhong decoction medium- and high-dose groups and pinaverium bromide group were all decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS :Dajianzhong decoction could improve the visceral pain of IBS model rats by inhibiting the activation of intestinal glial cells and reducing the expression of NGF and TrkA.

BACKGROUND:There is a general consensus that patients undergoing joint arthroplasty surgery wil be in hypercoagulable state and easily to induce deep vein thrombosis. Thromboelastography is a new kind of method to monitor blood coagulation state, but not widely used in orthopaedics. No final conclusion has yet been reached on whether we can guide the clinical prevention of deep vein thrombosis and medication through using thromboelastography to monitor perioperative coagulation state of patients treated with joint arthroplasty. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the correlation between thromboelastography and routine coagulation functional tests, and evaluate the clinical application value of thromboelastography in monitoring the perioperative coagulation state of patients treated with joint arthroplasty.
METHODS:A total of 204 patients who treated with joint arthroplasty at First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from November 2014 to August 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. The thromboelastography, routine coagulation, platelet and other data before and after the replacement were respectively col ected. The correlative analysis was conducted between the thromboelastography result and the results of conventional coagulation test, that is, routine coagulation and platelet count. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In total knee arthroplasty group, activated partial thromboplastin time and reaction time showed good consistency (φ=0.713, Kappa value=0.647);Prothrombin time had moderate correlation and general consistency with reaction time (φ=0.392, Kappa value=0.362);Coagulation time and fibrinogen had moderate correlation and consistency (φ=0.392, Kappa value=0.488);Aggregates formation rate (αangle) and fibrinogen had moderate correlation and consistency;the remaining parameters had poor correlation and consistency. In total hip arthroplasty group, there was a weak correlation and consistency between the reaction time, activated partial thromboplastin time and prothrombin time;the other correlations were poor. However, there was a higher proportion of consistent clotting trend between some parameters of thrombelastography and routine coagulation. In total hip arthroplasty group, the consistent proportion of coagulation time and fibrinogen accounted for 67.6%;the consistent proportion of aggregates formation rate (αangle) and fibrinogen accounted for 78.3%. These results suggest that thromboelastography and routine coagulation tests have some correlations and consistency. Thromboelastography parameters have more consistent tendency on the data. Thrombelastography can serve as an auxiliary mean to monitor coagulation state of perioperative joint arthroplasty.

OBJECTIVETo study the clinical effect and surgical operating points of pararectus approach for the internal fixation of acetabular both-column fractures with concurrent displaced quadrilateral plate fractures.
METHODSFrom January 2012 to December 2013, in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University, 15 patients with acetabular both-column fractures and displaced quadrilateral plate fractures were surgically managed through the pararectus approach. There were 11 male and 4 female patients, with an average age of 40 years (from 19 to 61 years). According to Judet-Letournel classification, there were 9 anterior column plus posterior hemitransverse fractures, 6 both-column fractures, 8 cases involving the pelvic fracture. All these fractures were treated through the pararectus approach, in the horizontal position with general anesthesia. The pre-bended plate was placed in interior pelvic ring to fix the anterior wall, anterior column and quadrilateral plate in direct sight. Then, the posterior column was exposed and fixed with antegrade lag screw. Patients were followed up in 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months, 1 year after the operation, and the anteroposterior radiograph of pelvis and the X-ray examination of the fractured hip was performed.
RESULTSAll the 15 cases underwent the operation successfully. Postoperative X-ray and CT exams showed excellent and good reduction of anterior column, posterior column and quadrilateral plate, with none surgical complication occurred. According to the Matta radiological evaluation postoperatively, reduction of acetabular fracture was rated as excellent in 9 cases, good in 3 cases and poor in 3 cases. The rate of excellent and good was 12/15. After 8 to 18 months' follow-up (median follow-up time was 14 months), all the patients gained bone union. According to the modified Merle D'Aubigne and Postel scoring system, 9 cases were excellent, 4 were good, and 2 were fair. The rate of excellent and good was 13/15.
CONCLUSIONSSurgical management of acetabular fractures through the pararectus approach can provide adequate exposure of reducing and fixing both-column acetabular fractures with concurrent displaced quadrilateral plate fractures, which has a good effect in clinical application.
