AIM: To study the effects of Shenshuaining granules on the expression of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB) and peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPAR-gamma) in kidney tissue of diabetic nephropathy (DN) rats. METHODS: The DN rats model were induced by high-fat diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (35 mg/kg). Forty DN rats model were randomly divided into control group (same volume 0.9% NaCl), Shenshuaining (SSN) group (SSN granules 2 g/kg), saxagliptin group (saxagliptin tables 0.6 mg/kg), SSN and saxagliptin group (SSN granules 2 g/kg + saxagliptin tables 0.6 mg/kg) intragastric administration once per day, for 8 weeks. The renal pathological changes were evaluated by HE staining, the fasting blood glucose (FBG) were tested by glucose meter, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were tested by glycated hemoglobin meter, serum creatinine (Scr), urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum Cystatin C (Cys-C) were tested by automatic biochemical analyzer, the levels of tumor necrosis factor alfa (TNF-alfa), intercellular adhesion factor-1 (ICAM-1) and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) were detected by ELISA method, and the expression of NF-kB and PPAR-gamma were detected by immunohistochemical method. RESULTS:The glomerular capillary structure was damaged and fibrosis in the control group, and capillary lumen was shown stenosis and lipid deposition, the renal interstitial was also shown blood vessel growth. The glomerular lesions were improved in experimental group, and glomerular and capillary structures were relatively intact. The levels of FBG, HbA1c, Scr, BUN, Cys-C, TNF-alfa, ICAM-1 and MCP-1 in experimental group were significantly lower than those of control group, the differences had statistical significance (P<0.05). The expression of NF-kB in experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group, and the expression of PPAR-gamma was higher than that of control group, the differences had statistical significance (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Shenshuaining granules can improve the renal glomerulus and capillary structure for diabetic nephropathy rat, reduce blood sugar, protect renal function, alleviate inflammation, relieve kidney disease, the mechanism may be related with decreasing NF-kB expression and increasing PPAR-gamma expression in glomerular tissue.

AIM: To investigate the mechanism and the effects of Rufuning granules on improving the symptom of mammary gland hyperplasia（MGH）． METHODS: Forty-eight rabbits were randomly divided into six groups (n=8), normal control group, model group, Rupixiao tablets group, Rufuning-high dose, medium dose and low dose groups. The model of MGH was induced by injecting estradiol benzoate in unpregnant female rabbits. Rabbits in the normal control received saline injection only. The breast diameter and nipple height of rabbits were determined. The contents of prolactin（PRL）, estradiol（E2）and progesterone（P）in serum in each group were detected．Pathologic changes in morphology due to MGH in rabbits were observed by microscopy. Meanwhile, the expression of VEGF protein in rabbit breast tissue was determined. RESULTS: The breast diameter and nipple height of rabbits were reduced after treatment in high and medium doses of Rufuning granules group（P<0.05）．The contents of PRL and E2 in serum were reduced（P<0.05）while those of progesterone in serum were improved（P<0.05）．The performance of histology breast hyperplasia was significantly improved. The number of mammary gland flocculus and lobular gland bubble and lumen expansion were reduced in rabbit mammary. Mammary gland hyperplasia of interstitial fibrous connective tissue was also significantly alleviated as compared with those in model group．Meanwhile, VEGF over-expression in breast tissue was reduced. CONCLUSION: Rufuning granules may improve symptom of MGH by adjusting the ratio of estrogen and progesterone and reducing VEGF over-expression．

AIM: To investigate the hypoglycemic effect and inhibition of alpha glucosidase activity in vitro of three polysaccharide obtained from ethanol fractionation precipitation on diabetic mice constructed with streptozotocin (STZ). METHODS: Three polysaccharides were obtained by fractionation and precipitation of total polysaccharides with ethanol. The diabetic mice were constructed by intraperitoneal injection of STZ and divided into control group, model group, drug group (divided into three groups, three kinds of polysaccharides). Fourteen days after drug intervention, the fasting blood glucose (FBG), insulin (FINS), glucagon (GC), expression of insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR), SOD, MDA and GSH-Px in pancreatic islets of mice were detected. RESULTS: Three kinds of polysaccharides had hypoglycemic effects at different degrees, and their effects were related to the expression of insulin and glucagon. Polysaccharides also interfered with the expression of SOD, MDA and GSH-Px in islet tissues at different degrees. In vitro studies showed that polysaccharides significantly inhibited alpha glucosidase and the effects were dose-dependent. CONCLUSION: The polysaccharide has significant therapeutic effect on diabetic mice, but the effects of different components of polysaccharides are different, and the mechanism is diverse. Antrodia camphorate polysaccharide is a promising polysaccharide drug, which deserves further study and development.

AIM: To study the effects of organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2) and multidrug resistance gene 1 (MDR1) gene polymorphisms on plasma concentration and clinical efficacy of vancomycin in infants. METHODS: Ninety-one infants that treated with vancomycin were recruited. The plasma concentrations of vancomycin were measured by enzyme multiplied immunoassay technique. The genotypes of OCT2 G808T (rs316019) and MDR1 C3435T (rs1045642) were determined by polymerase chain reaction followed with direct sequencing. The association between different genotypes and the concentrations and clinical efficacy of vancomycin were analyzed. RESULTS: There were 16.5% patients which the concentration reached 10-20 μg/mL. The curative effect of 5-<10 μg/mL (88%) and 10-20 μg/mL (93.3%) were significant higher than that of <5 μg/mL (44%) (P<0.05); and the curative effect of 5-<10 μg/mL and 10-20 μg/mL were similar. The plasma concentration (10.15±2.35) μg/mL and concentration/dose values (0.98±0.27) μg·mL^-1·mg^-1·kg of vancomycin in infants with OCT2 TT genotype were significantly increased than that of OCT2 GG genotypes (6.92±2.83) μg/mL, (0.59±0.22) μg·mL^-1·mg^-1·kg (P<0.05). Meanwhile, the clinical efficacy of vancomycin in TT genotype (100%) was higher than that in GG genotype (73.2%) (P<0.05). However, the concentration and clinical efficacy of vancomycin in the infants with mutant type and wild type of MDR1 C3435T were similar (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: OCT2 G808T polymorphism is associated with the plasma concentrations and clinical efficacy of vancomycin in infants.

AIM: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and long-term prognosis of patients with compensatory hepatitis B cirrhosis treated with entecavir and adefovir dipivoxil. METHODS: One hundred and sixty patients with compensatory hepatitis B cirrhosis from January 2012 to August 2014 were randomly divided into ADV group and ETV group (80 cases in each group). Patients in ADV and ETV group were treated by entecavir and adefovir dipivoxil for antiviral therapy. The liver fibrosis index, liver fibrosis treatment efficacy, virologic indicators (HBV-DNA load, HBV-DNA negative rate and HBeAg conversion rate) before and 48 weeks after the treatment were comparatively analyzed, the long-term prognosis (3-year mortality, hepatocellular carcinoma and cirrhosis decompensation rate) in two groups were evaluated by the Kaplan-Meier survivorship curve. RESULTS: Forty-eight weeks after treatment, the fibrosis index of the treatment group were significantly lower than those before treatment, among which, those in ETV group were more obvious than ADV group［（2.91±0.90） log10 IU/mL and (2.26±0.68) log10 IU/mL, P=0.000 007 5］. The total effective rate of liver fibrosis in ADV group and ETV group were 66.25% and 81.25%, respectively (P=0.033). The HBV-DNA load reduce［（2.91±0.90） log10 IU/mL and (2.26±0.68) log10 IU/mL, P=0.000 007 5］and non-response rate of ETV group were significantly better than those of ADV group（2.50% and 11.25%，P=0.029）, the HBV-DNA negative conversion rate（86.25% and 68.75%，P=0.008） and HBeAg conversion rate were much higher than ADV group （27.50% and 11.25%，P=0.009）. The incidence of liver decompensation and all-cause mortality were significantly lower in the ETV group than those in the ADV group (43.75% and 17.50%, P=0.020，P=0.028), respectively. The incidence of liver cancer in the ADV and ETV group was 13.75% and 5.00%（P>0.05），and the risk of HCC was significantly higher in ADV group than that in ETV group［HR=2.996,95% CI (1.009,7.656), P=0.048］ . There was no significant difference between the ADV group and the ETV group in the total incidence of adverse reactions (13.75% and 11.25%, P=0.058). CONCLUSION: Compared with adefovir dipivoxil, the application of entecavir in the treatment of compensatory hepatitis B cirrhosis has better clinical efficacy and virological response, and can significantly reduce the liver cirrhosis, and improve the patient's long-term prognosis effectively.

AIM: To investigate the protective effects of liraglutide on myocardium in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS: One hundred and ten cases of patients diagnosed as AMI, complicated with stress hyperglycemia and treated with PCI were divided into two groups, 55 cases each. Besides standard treatments, observation group was treated with liraglutide while control group was treated with insulin. Factors including creatine phosphokinase (CK), creatine kinase isoenzymes (CKMB), serum cardiac troponin T (cTnT), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), nitrogen terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) and myocardium perfusion defect score were tested before and after treatment between the two groups to compare the efficacy of the two therapeutics. RESULTS:After the surgery, CK, CKMB, cTnT and hs-CRP significantly increased (P<0.05) while NT-pro-BNP decreased significantly (P<0.05) in both groups, and the 48 h peak values of these factors in observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (t=5.188, 7.081, 2.180, 5.091, 4.748, P<0.05). Compared within groups, the myocardial perfusion defect score at day 30 decreased as compared with day 7 both in the control group (significantly, t=7.963, P<0.05) and in the observation group (not obviously, P>0.05). Compared between the groups, the index in the observation group were lower than that in the control group both at day 7 (significantly, t=6.235, P<0.05) and day 30 (not obviously, P>0.05). LVEF, LVEDD at day 30 increased compared with the indexes at day 7 in both groups, and the differences in the control group were significant (t=6.235, P<0.05). Comparison within the groups showed significant difference between the 30 d LVEF (t=2.032, P<0.05), while other differences were not significant (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Liraglutide exhibits protective effects on myocardium of AMI patients treated with PCI.

AIM: To assess the influence of clinical pharmaceutical care on medication compliance and treatment effect in Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) eradication in outpatients with peptic ulcer. METHODS: Ninety-six outpatients with H.pylori positive peptic ulcer from July 2015 to June 2016 were prospectively collected and were randomly divided into control group and intervention group. Patients in the control group were given the traditional outpatient service. The intervention group patients received pharmaceutical education and follow-up by clinical pharmacist. Medication compliance and gastrointestinal symptom were assessed in both groups before and after H.pylori eradication therapy. H.pylori eradication rates of all patients were tested by 14C urea breath test after the end of stopping all medicines for at least 4 weeks. RESULTS: The score and the improvement of compliance with medication of intervention group patients were significantly higher than those of the control group (3.73 vs.2.58, 1.71 vs.0.44, P<0.01). 81.25% of patients in intervention group and 60.42% of patients in control group took all prescribed doses. The difference was statistically different（P<0.05）. Forty-four patients of the intervention group and thirty-six patients in the control group reported less gastrointestinal symptoms (91.67% vs.75.00%, P<0.05). The H.pylori eradication rate of the intervention group was significantly higher than that of the control group (91.67% vs.72.92%, P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Clinical pharmaceutical care has a significant effect on H.pylori eradication rate, medication compliance and the improvement of gastrointestinal symptom.

Small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA) is a rare malignant tumor with poor prognosis and low overall survival. Researches of recent years have shown that the environmental factors and genetic factors play a role in the development of SBA. In addition, a variety of genetic mutations, DNA methylation, DNA mismatch repair, microsatellite instability and related signal pathways were activated abnormally involved in the occurrence and development of SBA. However, the pathogenesis of SBA is not completely clear and further research should be performed to provide theoretical basis and new ideas for the clinical diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of SBA.

Inflammatory disease state will release a large number of inflammatory cytokines, and accompanied by drug transporters expression and activity changes. Drug transporters are present in various tissues and have an important role in drug absorption, distribution, and elimination. Expression and activity changes will affect the body's plasma concentration, accumulation, the effectiveness of drug treatment, and even produce multidrug resistance, drug-drug interactions and so on. Rheumatoid arthritis is a common inflammatory disease that releases a large number of inflammatory cytokines, with changes in expression and activity of the transporters, which affects the therapeutic effect and changes the expression and activity of the drug transporters. This review summarizes the knowledge on the roles of transporters in rheumatoid arthritis in order to provide a new direction for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

Asthma, while its pathogenesis remains unclear, is the most common chronic respiratory disease influenced by many factors including genetic and environmental influences. Classical theories believe that T helper cells(Th)1/Th2 cells are unbalanced, which further decrease Th1 cells response, and increase Th2 cells response. They cause allergen specific IgE secretion, airway eosinophils (EOS) infiltration, chronic airway inflammation and airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR). The findings of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and Th17 renew the understanding of the inflammatory mechanisms of asthma. The pathogenesis is no longer confined to the Th1/Th2 model. Like interleukin 12(IL-12), interleukin 35（IL-35）which belongs to the IL-12 family can effectively enhance the function of the Tregs and inhibit the proliferation and differentiation of Th17 cells, the excessive immune response, and immune damage to the body.It can be concluded that IL-35 could be involved and may play a protective role in the pathogenesis and regulation of asthma through a variety of pathways. This review introduces the biological characteristics of IL-35 and its role in the development and pathogenesis of asthma.

Vasculitis is an autoimmune disease which may cause nonspecific inflammation and necrosis of the blood vessels. According to degree of the vascular involvement, vasculitis divides into small vasculitis, moderate vasculitis and large vasculitis. Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitis (AAV) which belongs to the small vasculitis includes granulomatous polyangiitis (GPA) microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) and eosinophilic granulomatous polyangiitis (EGPA). Different organs of the whole body could be involved and the active period is extremely dangerous. Untimely treatment can result in high mortality. This paper briefly reviews the pathogenesis and treatment progress of AAV.
