RESUMO
ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Guizhi Jia Longgu Mulitang on the expression difference of interleukin-10 (IL-10) and tumor necrosis factor -α (TNF-α) in related organs of insomnia rats with sensory dysfunction dominated by lung and study the mechanism of Guizhi Jia Longgu Mulitang in improving insomnia. MethodSD rats were randomly divided into the blank group, model group, western medicine group, and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) group, with 10 rats in each group. The rats were deprived of sleep by shallow water environment method in a long platform, and the modeling lasted for 42 d. The blank group and model group were given 0.05 mL·kg-1 normal saline by gavage, and the western medicine group and TCM group were given drugs during modeling. To be specific, the western medicine group was given 0.105 mg·kg-1 dexzopiclone tablet by gavage, while the TCM group was given 7 600 mg·kg-1 Guizhi Jia Longgu Mulitang by gavage, both lasting for 28 days. After successful modeling, the Morris water maze experiment was performed on the 42nd day to detect the motion and spatial memory ability of rats. The levels of IL-10 and TNF-α in serum were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The protein expression of IL-10 and TNF-α in the lung and brain tissue of rats was detected by Western blot. The levels of IL-10 and TNF-α in the lung and brain tissue of rats were detected by immunohistochemistry. ResultCompared with the blank group, the sleep stages non-rapid eye movement ( NREM ) and rapid eye movement ( REM ) of the model group were significantly shortened (P<0.5, P<0.01), and the wake stage was significantly increased (P<0.01). The total time and distance of platform exploration were significantly increased (P<0.01). In the target quadrant (the third quadrant), the percentage of exploration time and the times of crossing the platform were significantly decreased (P<0.01). ELISA results showed that the serum IL-10 level was significantly decreased (P<0.01), and TNF-α level was significantly increased (P<0.01). The results of Western blot showed that the protein expression of IL-10 in brain and lung tissue of rats was significantly decreased (P<0.01), and the protein expression of TNF-α was significantly increased (P<0.01). The results of immunohistochemistry showed that the expression of IL-10 in the brain and lung tissue of rats was significantly decreased (P<0.01), and that of TNF-α was significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the NREM stage and REM stage of the western medicine group and the TCM group were significantly increased (P<0.5, P<0.01), and the wake stage was shortened (P<0.5). The total time and distance of platform exploration were significantly decreased (P<0.01). In the target quadrant (the third quadrant), the percentage of exploration time and the times of crossing the platform were significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). The serum IL-10 level was significantly increased (P<0.01), and the serum TNF-α level was significantly decreased according to the ELISA results (P<0.01). The results of Western blot showed that the protein expression of IL-10 in brain tissue and lung tissue was significantly increased (P<0.01), and the protein expression of TNF-α was significantly decreased (P<0.01). The results of immunohistochemistry showed that the expression of IL-10 in brain tissue and lung tissue was significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the expression of TNF-α was significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionGuizhi Jia Longgu Mulitang can improve the expression of IL-10 and TNF-α in brain and lung tissue of insomnia rats with sensory dysfunction dominated by lung, prolong sleep time, and then improve insomnia. The mechanism may be related to improving the expression level of inflammatory factors.

RESUMO
A simple,fast and highly sensitive fluorescence analysis method for detection of mercury ion was developed based on N-methyl-mesoporphyrin IX (NMM)/G-quadruplex DNA system and specific T-Hg-T mismatches.In this strategy,a large number of thymine was introduced into guanine-rich oigonucleotides which could form G-quadruplex.In the presence of Hg2+,guanine-rich oigonucleotides and complementary strand could form double-stranded DNA molecule by specific T-Hg-T mismatch pair,leading to destruction of G-quadruplex DNA structure.In the absence of Hg2+,guanine-rich oigonucleotides spontaneously formed G-quadruplex DNA structure that could bound NMM to generate intense fluorescence.Based on the above facts,a sensitive fluorescence biosensor for determination of Hg2+ was fabricated.And the optimal conditions for Hg2+ determination were as follows:buffer solution pH of 6.7,20 mmol/L KCl and 2.5 μmol/L NMM in buffer and incubation for 2 h.Under the optimal conditions,the fluorescence intensity signal change (F0-F) and the Hg2+ concentration exhibited a linear correlation within 50 nmol/L to 1000 nmol/L range with a low detection limit of 22.8 nmol/L (3σ).The biosensor exhibited good selectivity toward common metal ions.The developed method was successfully employed to detect Hg2+ in tap water with recovery of 106.1%-107.8%.

RESUMO
OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of Vitamin B6 on efficacy and related indexes of patients with peripartum car-diomyopathy(PPCM). METHODS:64 PPCM patients were randomly divided into control group(32 cases)and observation group (32 cases). Control group received diuretic drugs,angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin Ⅱ receptor antagonist,β-blockers,digitalis,low molecular weight heparin and other conventional treatment. Observation group additionally received Vita-min B6 tablet 50 mg,orally,twice a day. They treated for 2 weeks. Clinical efficacy,serum prolactin(PRL),brain natriuretic pep-tide (BNP),left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) before and after treatment,milk back rate and the incidence of ad-verse reactions in 2 groups were observed. RESULTS:There was no significant difference in the total effective rate in 2 groups (P>0.05). Before treatment,there were no significant differences in PRL,BNP and LVEDD in 2 groups (P>0.05). After treat-ment,PRL,BNP and LVEDD in 2 groups were significantly lower than before,and observation group were lower than control group,with statistical significances (P<0.05). And the milk back rate in observation group was significantly higher than control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There were no obvious severe adverse reactions during treatment. CONCLUSIONS:Based on conventional treatment,Vitamin B6 shows similar efficacy and safety with conventional treatment in the treatment of PPCM,though it is superior to conventional treatment in terms of decreasing PRL level,it has high milk back rate.
RESUMO
Chemotherapy is one of the main treatment methods in malignant tumor.Tumor multidrug resistance (MDR) is one of the important reasons for the failure of chemotherapy.It makes some progress in reversing tumor MDR,such as chemical drug,traditional Chinese medicine,immunotherapy,gene therapy,nanoparticles drug system and so on.But it takes more effort to develop medicine of less adverse reactions,better pharmacodynamic and application to clinic widely.
RESUMO
Objective:To evaluate the clinical value and the prognostic factors of postoperative radiotherapy in type B3 thymoma pa-tients. Methods:A total of 159 patients with thymoma were treated by surgery and postoperative radiotherapy. According to Masaoka staging system, 12, 33, 62, and 52 patients had stageⅠ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ, andⅣlesions, respectively. Myasthenia gravis existed in 38 patients. Altogether 58 patients underwent chemotherapy. Overall survival, disease-free survival, and local control rates were calculated by Ka-plan-Meier method. Prognostic factors were analyzed by Cox regression model. Results:With a median follow-up of 52 months (8-125 months), the overall 5-year survival rate was 81.6%. The 5-year progression-free survival rate was 76.2%. The 5-year local control rate was 82.6%. The recurrence rate was 32.6%, and the metastatic rate was 9.3%. In the univariate analysis, tumor size, Masaoka stage, re-section margin, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy were significantly associated with 5-year overall survival and progression-free surviv-al (P<0.05). In the multivariate analysis, Masaoka stage, resection margin, and radiotherapy were independent prognostic factors of 5-year progression-free survival (P<0.05). Radiotherapy could improve the regional control rate and the overall survival of patients in Ma-saoka stagesⅢ-Ⅳ. Conclusion:The major failure mode for type B3 thymoma is the recurrence of pleure. Radiotherapy can improve the regional control rate and the overall survival of patients in advanced stages. Masaoka staging, surgical margin, and radiotherapy are the independent prognostic factors for type B3 thymoma treated by postoperative radiotherapy.
