ObjectiveTo elucidate the mechanism of Osteoking against fracture， femoral head necrosis， osteoarthritis， and lumbar disc herniation by integrating heterogeneous information network mining and experimental validation. MethodOn the basis of the disease-related database and transcriptome expression profiling dataset， as well as the ETCM database， the gene sets related to four target diseases and the candidate target spectrum of Osteoking were obtained through the integration and analysis of bioinformatics data， and a "disease-syndrome-formula-target-pathway-effect" heterogeneous information network was constructed. In addition， by functional enrichment analysis， the core targets of Osteoking in interfering with the imbalance network of four kinds of bone injury diseases， the biological pathways involved， and the corresponding clinical symptoms were screened， and they were verified in animal experiments. ResultHeterogeneous information network mining indicates that Osteoking may commonly reverse the imbalance networks of fracture， femoral head necrosis， osteoarthritis， and lumbar disc herniation via regulating cell function and activity， inhibiting inflammatory response， reducing bone destruction， and improving the immune function of the body by modulating relevant core candidate targets such as RAC-alpha serine/threonine-protein kinase （Akt1）， catenin beta-1 （CTNNB1）， epidermal growth factor receptor （EGFR）， heat shock protein 90-alpha （HSP90AA1）， and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha isoform （PI3KCA）， as well as related biological pathways such as phosphatidylinositide 3-kinases/protein kinase B （PI3K/Akt）， janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription （JAK/STAT）， tumor necrosis factor （TNF）， nuclear factor kappa-B （NF-κB）， and Toll-like receptors. In particular， Osteoking may improve the blood supply of the fracture end by regulating blood circulation at the target site of the disease， and it may maintain the balance of bone metabolism by regulating hormone-related pathways to promote fracture healing. In addition， Osteoking may relieve lipid metabolism disorders by targeting and regulating lipid-related pathways， accelerate bone formation and bone repair， and delay the progression of femoral head necrosis. Osteoking may relieve the symptoms of pain by acting on neurological pathways to reduce local nociceptive stimulation in patients with osteoarthritis and lumbar disc herniation. Further experimental validation demonstrates that the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway is the most significantly enriched pathway for the key network targets of Osteoking for the four diseases. The candidate target of Osteoking may have the strongest association with the network of fracture-related genes. Therefore， this study chooses fracture as the target disease to verify the efficacy of Osteoking. The results show that Osteoking can accelerate bone formation and promote fracture healing by inhibiting the activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling axis. ConclusionThe study shows that the main mechanism of "treating different diseases with an identical treatment" of four bone injury diseases with Osteoking involves cell function regulation and immune inflammation-related signaling pathways. Further experimental validation identifies that the PI3K/Akt signaling axis may be one of the key pathways of Osteoking to promote bone regeneration， bone reconstruction， and bone metabolism homeostasis.

Objective To investigate the positive rates and susceptibility of Ureaplasma urealyticum(Uu) and Mycoplasma hominis(Mh) in urogenital mycoplasma infection under three years.Methods Culture,identification and susceptibility test were performed on 4 414 specimens collected from suspected patients with mycoplasma infection by using Antu mycoplasma kits.Results In the 4 414 patients,2 295 cases with mycoplasma infection were detected and the positive rate was 51.99％.The infection rates of Uu and Mh respectively were 40.69％ and 2.08％,and the both infection rate was 9.22％.Antibiotic sensitive rates of josamycin(JOX),doxycycline(DOX),clarithromycin(CLA),gatifloxacin(GAT) and erythromycin(ERY) were 96.03％,95.51 ％,78.69 ％％,77.21 ％ and 72.55 ％.Drug resistant rates of roxithromycin(RXT),thiamphenicol (THI),clindamycin (CLI) and clarithromycin(CLA) were 16.90％,22.27％,41.96％ and 17.60％.Conclusion Uu is the predominant mycoplasma in urogenital tract infection in the study.DOX,JOS,GAT and ERY can be chosen as the fist line drugs for the treatment of urogenital tract infection.RXT,THI,CLI and CLA with high drug resistant rates are not recommended to be used.

Objective To establish a molecular inversion probe ( MIP) method for detection of single base drug-resistance mutation in Hepatitis B virus ( HBV) gene.Methods The HBV wild type and YVDD mutant strain were isolated by Daping Hospital of the Third Military Medical University.The MIP was designed and applied to detect the HBV drug-resistance YVDD mutation in one case of wild type and one case of YVDD mutant HBV strain isolated previously.The results of MIP method were compared with that of sequencing to evaluate the detection accuracy.Results Thermal cycling single-base extension and connection reaction performed by Taq DNA Ligase and Ampligase DNA Ligase could ensure the specificity of the detection.The optimum probe concentration of MIP was 1 nmol/L.Through detection of the target gene with different DNA concentrations , the detection sensitivity of MIP was determined as 1 nmol/L.The results of MIP were consistent with that of sequencing method in detection of the clinical samples.Conclusion MIP is successfully used to detect single-base drug-resistance mutation in HBV gene.

Progressive dementia is described as the first and most prominent symptom of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and hyperphosphorylation of microtubule associated Tau protein (MAPT) plays a key role in neurodegeneration and neuronal dysfunction in AD and other neurodegenerative diseases. This paper reviews several protein kinases and phosphatases which can phosphorylate/dephosphorylate Tau protein, and evaluates a therapeutic strategy based on targeted inhibition of Tau kinases and activation of Tau phosphatases.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the antiatherogenic effect and possible mechanisms of the extracts of Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae (RSM) or Fructus Crataegi (FC), as well as their interaction.

METHODWistar rats were randomly divided into 2 groups: normal group and model group. The atherosclerotic model rats were injected VD3 and ovalbumin, while fed with high cholesterol diet. After the model was determined successfully, all model rats were divided into normal group, model group, Xuezhikang group, RSM group, FC group, mixture of RSM and FC group. Each group was given the corresponding drugs for 4 weeks. After 12 weeks, blood serum were analyzed for total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), superoxide dismutase ( SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO). And the blood plasma also analyzed for levels of endothelin (ET), 6-keto prostaglandin F1alpha (6-keto-PGF1alpha), thromboxane B2 (TXB2), C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 8 (IL-8), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and so on. At last, the pathological observation of aorta was carried out.

RESULTCompared with those in model group, the TC, TG, LDL-C, ET, TXB2 and MDA levels and TXB2/PGF1alpha ratio were reduced, while the HDL-C, the serum SOD, No and 6-keto-PGF1alpha level were raised in the intervention groups. Although the levels of CRP, IL-6 and IL-8 were lower than model group, there was no obvious effect on the releasing of TNF-alpha.

CONCLUSIONRSM and FC could inhibit the atherogenesis formation and development, which might be due to regulating the lipid metabolism, enhancing the antioxidation, and reducing the release of inflammatory factors.
