ObjectiveTo explore the protective effect of Shengxiantang on cardiac function and myocardial microvascular injury in rats with chronic heart failure (CHF). MethodsThe CHF rat model was prepared by aortic arch constriction (TAC). Of the 72 SD rats, 8 were randomly selected as the sham operation group, where the chest was opened without ligating the aortic arch. The 40 successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into the model group, the Shengxiantang low-, medium-, and high-dose groups (5.1, 10.2, 20.4 g·kg-1), and the trimetazidine group (6.3 mg·kg-1), with 8 rats in each group. Drug administration began 4 weeks after modeling. The administration groups received the corresponding drugs by gavage, while the sham operation and model groups were given the same amount of distilled water for 8 consecutive weeks. Echocardiography was used to assess cardiac function. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the levels of nitric oxide (NO), endothelin (ET-1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and von Willebrand factor (vWF). Ultrastructural changes of microvessels were observed by transmission electron microscopy. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression levels of ATP synthase subunit (ATP5D) and F-actin in myocardial tissue. Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of occludin, claudin, vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-Cadherin), and zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1). Microvessel density was measured by immunofluorescence staining. ResultsCompared with the sham operation group, the ejection fraction (EF) and left ventricular shortening fraction (FS) in the model group were significantly decreased (P<0.01), while the left ventricular diastolic diameter (LVIDd), left ventricular systolic diameter (LVIDs), left ventricular end-diastolic posterior wall thickness (LVPWd), left ventricular end-systolic posterior wall thickness (LVPWs), left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVVOLd), and left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVVOLs) were significantly increased (P<0.01). The levels of NO and VEGF were significantly decreased (P<0.01), while the levels of ET-1 and vWF were significantly increased (P<0.01). Under electron microscopy, the microvascular basement membrane was incomplete and the tight junctions were blurred. The expression levels of ATP5D, F-actin, occludin, claudin, ZO-1, and VE-Cadherin were significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the relative density of microvessels was significantly reduced (P<0.05, P<0.01). After intervention with Shengxiantang, the EF and FS of CHF rats significantly increased (P<0.01), while the LVIDd, LVIDs, LVPWd, LVPWs, LVVOLd, and LVVOLs significantly decreased (P<0.01). The levels of NO and VEGF significantly increased (P<0.01), while the levels of ET-1 and vWF significantly decreased (P<0.01). Under electron microscopy, the microvascular basement membrane was relatively complete and the tight junctions were more continuous. The expression levels of ATP5D, F-actin, occludin, claudin, ZO-1, and VE-Cadherin significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the relative density of microvessels significantly increased (P<0.01). ConclusionShengxiantang can effectively improve the cardiac function of CHF rats, reduce microvascular endothelial injury, strengthen the connection between endothelial cells, and increase microvessel density, thereby protecting myocardial microvascular injury.

BACKGROUND:Subepithelial connective tissue grafts are generally considered as the gold standard for soft tissue augmentation.However,it needs a second surgical site,which will prolong the surgical time and increase patients'pain. OBJECTIVE:To compare the histological and thickness changes of attached gingiva following grafting with different soft tissue substitutes in the labial region of the cuspids. METHODS:In three Beagle dogs,attached gingival augmentation was performed with double-layer allogeneic acellular dermal matrix membrane(AADM),bovine-derived acellular dermal matrices(BADM)combined with concentrated growth factor membrane or BADM combined with collagen sponge.Thickness of attached gingiva was measured before augmentation,and 1,2,3,and 4 months after augmentation.Histological analyses were performed after 4 months. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The mean values of attached gingival thickness and attached gingival thickness augmentation were higher in the double-layer AADM group than in the other two groups(all P<0.05)from the 1st to 4th month after surgery.At 1 month after surgery,the attached gingival thickness of the three groups increased significantly and then decreased.At 3 months after surgery,the BADM combined with collagen sponge group and the BADM combined with concentrated growth factor membrane group showed no significant difference in the attached gingival thickness of the graft area compared with that before surgery(P>0.05).At 4 months after surgery,the mean value of attached gingival thickness in the double-layer AADM group was still significantly increased compared with that before surgery(P<0.05).The value of attached gingival thickness was highest in the double-layer AADM group,followed by the BADM combined with collagen sponge group,and the lowest in the BADM combined with concentrated growth factor membrane group at 1-4 months after surgery.Histological analyses revealed that AADM was well integrated with the host gingival tissue,and new fibrous connective tissue and fibroblasts grew into the AADM.But the grafts in the other two groups were absorbed and the augmentation area was remodeled into a structure consistent with the surrounding host tissue.To conclude,AADM is superior to BADM combined with concentrated growth factor and BADM combined with collagen sponge with regard to gingival augmentation.

OBJECTIVE: To provide reference for the construction of medicine terminologysets in China.METHODS: By introducing and comparing naming rules, terminology type and classfication system of RxNorm, WHODrug and SNOMED CT, the relevant suggestions on the construction of medicine terminology sets in China were put forward. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS: Due to the different demanding objects and specific application scenarios of different terminology sets, the three medicines terminology sets had their own characteristics.RxNorm mainly served electronic health records and medical insurance, and its medicine terminology contained the trade name information of the medicine. WHODrug mainly served ADR reports, and its structured medicine information data carried by the Drug Code, and the set adopted the system classification system-ATC. In order to promote the international interoperability of medicines concepts, SNOMED CT did not contained the trade name,and the purpose of classification was to define drugs. It is suggested that the construction of China’s medicine terminology sets should be based on the design and practical experience of foreign advanced drug terminology, encourage hospitals or pharmaceutical companies to disclose and share data, and try to build a drug model compatible with chemical drugs and proprietary Chinese medicines to adapt to the special nature of Chinese medicines and the needs of international communication.

Objective To investigate the synergistic effect of hyperhomocystinemia (HHcy) and smoking on the incidence of Coronary heart disease. Methods A total of 22 043 subjects were enrolled from health care center. Participants were classified into two groups: Non-coronary heart disease group (control group, n = 19 410) and coronary heart disease group(n=2 633).A questionnaire survey,physical examination and blood homocysteine (Hcy)test were carried out among the participants.Results After controlling the confounding factors,multivariable Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of coronary heart disease in patients with smoking was 4.832 times higher than that of patients with normal waistline. The risk of coronary heart disease in patients with HHcy was 1.019 times higher than that of patients with normal Hcy (OR = 4.832,1.019,P < 0.05).Interaction analysis showed that the risk of patients with HHcy and smoking was 2.473 times higher than that of patients without HHcy and no-smoking.The synergy index between HHcy and smoking on the incidence of Coronary heart disease was 1.739. The pure attributable proportion due to the interaction was 42.9%. Conclusions HHcy and smoking are risk factors for coronary heart disease and there is a positive synergistic effect between HHcy and smoking on the incidence of coronary heart disease.
