ABSTRACT
Coronary heart disease is still one of the most common cardiovascular disease and causes of death worldwide(including China).Anti-platelet drugs are fundamental in the treatment of coronary heart disease.In recent years,more and more studies have found that trimethylamine N-ox-ide(TMAO),a major metabolite of intestinal flora,can promote atherosclerosis through various mech-anisms,affecting the prognosis of patients with cor-onary heart disease and the efficacy of antiplatelet drugs.This article reviews the effect of TMAO on coronary heart disease and the efficacy of anti-platelet drugs.
ABSTRACT
AlM: To analyze the prescribing of different antiplatelet drugs and clinical conditions of patients with coronary heart disease in department of Geriatrics. METHODS: This study was a single center and cross-sectional study. Patients with coronary heart disease were recruited when hospitalized in the department of Geriatrics department, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University between December 2021 and June 2022. We investigated and analyzed the clinical conditions of patients including the prescribing of the antiplatelet drugs. RESULTS: A total of 347 coronary heart disease patients with a mean age of (65.2 ± 10.1) years were included. The antiplatelet drug clopidogrel was the most commonly prescribed. Among the different dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), aspirin combined with clopidogrel was the most widely used. With the increasing of the numbers of target coronary lesions, the prescribing rate of clopidogrel increased significantly (P < 0.05). In three groups with different degrees of target coronary lesions, the prescribing rate of aspirin was higher than that of indobufene (P < 0.05). Compared with patients taking aspirin, the patients taking indobufene were older with a higher blood creatinine level, a higher proportion of chronic gastropathy and the higher level of platelet aggregation rates (P < 0.05). CONCLUSlON: Clopidogrel is the most commonly prescribed antiplatelet drugs in patients with coronary heart disease. Aspirin combined with clopidogrel is the most widely used in DAPT. Compared with aspirin, indobufene is more commonly used in elderly patients with the chronic gastritis and a higher serum creatinine level.
ABSTRACT
P2Y12 receptor antagonist is currently one of the commonly used drugs for the treatment of acute coronary syndromes. Clopidogrel is a representative drug among P2Y12 receptor antagonists. Bleeding events as the most common side effect of this drug have also been concerned. The incidence and risk of bleeding events in large-scale clinical studies of clopidogrel are analyzed and discussed to provide refer-ences for reasonable clinical prescription of clopidogrel.
ABSTRACT
The opening of universities and colleges has been postponed due to the outbreak of COVID-19. In order to fully guarantee the normal teaching order and achieve the goal of "classes suspended but teaching and learning continues", Central South University has adopted online teaching in the spring semester of 2020. The Geriatrics teaching team of Xiangya Hospital have actively responded to the school's call and carried out online teaching course. This paper summarizes the experience in the preliminary organization, process implementation, education management and teaching evaluation of the Geriatrics online course in order to provide reference for the teaching reform of this course.

ABSTRACT
Syncope is a clinical symptom for many kinds of diseases.The reasons for some syncope are still not clear even after a comprehensive and systematic examination,known as unexplained syncope.The clinical data of one patient with recurrent syncope,who had received the implanted loop recorder (ILR) in Xiangya Hospital,Central South University,were retrospectively analyzed.The instrument recorded the first syncope at a time of recurrence for the sustained ventricular tachycardia in 704 days after ILR.The patient was thus diagnosed as arrhythmic syncope and received an operation with implantable cardioverter defibrillator.The ILR is a new type of examination device for patients suffering from syncope with suspected cardiac rhythm due to its long monitoring time,low infection rate and high safety.It possesses high clinical value in the diagnosis of patients with arrhythmic syncope.
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish the high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) fingerprint of wuzi yanzong pills. Methods HPLC was performed on Agilent Extend C18 column (250 mmí4. 6 mm,5 μm) with a gradient elution system using acetonitrile:methanol (101)-0. 4% phosphoric acid as the mobile phase. The column temperature was set at 30 ℃ and the flow rate was 1. 0 mL·min-1 . The eluate was detected at the wavelength of 254 nm. Chromatographic peaks were identified by LC-MS method. Results Nine common peaks in wuzi yanzong pill samples were identified by comparing their LC-MS data with those of reference compounds and related reference reports. The HPLC fingerprint of wuzi yanzong pills was finally developed based on the analysis of sixteen batches of samples and their similarities were above 0. 93. Conclusion This method has high precision,stability and repeatability. This study could be used for overall quality assessment of wuzi yanzong pills.
ABSTRACT
Artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) are recommended to be the most effective therapies for the first-line treatment of uncomplicated falciparum malaria. However, artemisinin is often in short supply and unaffordable to most malaria patients, which limits the wide use of ACTs. Production of amorpha-4,11-diene, an artemisinin precursor, was investigated by engineering a heterologous isoprenoid biosynthetic pathway in Escherichia coli. The production of amorpha-4,11-diene was achieved by expression of a synthetic amorpha-4,11-diene synthase gene in Escherichia coli DHGT7 and further improved by about 13.3 fold through introducing the mevalonate pathway from Enterococcus faecalis. After eliminating three pathway bottlenecks including amorpha-4,11-diene synthase, HMG-CoA reducase and mevalonate kinase by optimizing the metabolic flux, the yield of amorpha-4,11-diene was increased by nearly 7.2 fold and reached at 235 mg/L in shaking flask culture. In conclusion, an engineered Escherichia coli was constructed for high-level production of amorpha-4,11-diene.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the hypoglycemic and antioxidation effects of the red alga Porphyridium cruentum in diabetic mice induced by alloxan. Methods The diabetic models were established by intravenous administration of alloxan 70 mg?kg~(-1).Then the diabetic mice randomly were divided into four groups, Among them ,two groups were given ig the algal biomass 600,1200mg?kg~(-1) ,respectively. After 18 days, the contents of blood glucose, plasma lipids and the activities of SOD were detected. Results Compared with the diabetic model, the algal biomass 600,1200mg?kg~(-1) could significantly decrease the blood glucose.A trend towards lower plasma triglyceride level was observed in test groups. In addition the activity of plasma SOD was significantly enhanced in high dose group. Conclusion Porphyridium cruentum could reduce the level of blood glucose and effectively enhance the ability of antioxidation in the diabetic mice induced by alloxan.
