Objective To observe the effect of levocamitine on cardiac function of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).Methods 40 patients with DCM were randomly divided into control group (n =20) and the experimental group(20 cases).Control group was given conventional drug such as digitalis,furosemide,benazepril hydrochloride,antisterone for treatment,the experimental group was given levocarnitine on the basis of control group.The treatment efficacy and the situation of cardiac function were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate was 95.0％ and 80.0％ in the experimental group and the control group,respectively,the difference was statistically significant(x2 =10.286,P ＜ 0.01).Compared with the control group,the parameters of stroke volume,cardiac output,ejection fraction,and left ventricular fractional shortening rate were significantly increased in the experimental group after treatment(all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Levocarnitine can improve cardiac function based on the conventional treatment.

High-dose melphalan (Mel) is considered as a current standard preparative regimen in autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) for multiple myeloma (MM). Irradiation in total body (TBI) combined with Mel is not superior to Mel alone, and the adverse reactions are increased at the same time. The efficacy of 200 mg/m2 Mel is much better than that of 100-140 mg/m2 Mel in young patients. Several regimens including MelBU, TBC, BCV, MET, MTC, MelBCNU, VMel, MTC as well as bendamustine have similar treatment outcomes compared with 200 mg/m2 Mel. Other strategies need to be evaluated in different trials.

Objective To evaluate the Cys-C、β~2-MG、RBP as marker三of early diagnosis in patients with diabetic nephropathy Ⅱ(DN).Methods ninety patients with DN were divided into three groups according to urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER),that is normal,micro and mass group.Serum Cys-C、β~2-MG、RBP、BUN,Crea were detected and parallelly contrasted in the three groups and control group with thirty healthy people.Results compared with the control group,the serum Cys-C、β~2-MG、RBP of micro and mass group both significantly increased and the normal group had no significant difference.The positive rate of Cys-C、β~2-MG,RBP in mass group was respectively 100%、100%、96.1%;the positive rate in micro group as follows:Cys C (92.3%)＞B2-MG(84.6%)＞RBP(66.6%)＞Crea(46.1%)＞BUN(28.2%).Conclusion serum Cys-C、β~2-MG、RBP have high positive rates in patients with diabetic nephropathy Ⅱ(DN).They can be used as early diagnostic marker of diabetic nephropathy Ⅱespecially Cys-C.

Metabolic markers were released in the process of bone resorption and formation during bone remodelling. These markers have been extensively studied in trials of osteoporosis and other metabolic bone disorders during the past de?cades. Bone metabolic markers can replenish bone mineral density in the management of osteoporosis, but their use in clini?cal practice is challenged by their variability. Recently, there are many great progress in research of bone metabolic markers application in non metabolic bone disorders.

BACKGROUND: Adolescent Intemet addition disorder(IAD) gradually appears with the rapid popularization of Internet in China. National researches are rare at present.OBJECTIVE: To analyze the status quo of Internet use and on-line behavior characters of college students and to provide scientific data for the prevention of adolescent IAD.DESIGN: A status quo survey by employing college students as subjects SETTING: Department of psychiatrics of a medical university-affiliated hospitalPARTICIPANTS: Totally 510 college students were selected from three different type universities of Shanxi province including Shanxi Medical University, Taiyuan University of Technology, Shanxi University of Finance and Economics between November 2003 and February 2004.METHODS: Totally 510 college students from three universities of Shanxi Province were assessed by IAD test and self-compiled questionnaire for on-line college students.and non-IAD students.RESULTS: The detectable rate of IAD in college students of Shanxi province was 6.2%. More male students( n =29) had IAD than female students ( n = 3 ). Weekly on-line time of IAD students was (18.59 ± 16. 12)hours, which was significantly longer than (5.61 ± 5.64) hours of non-IAD student( P ＜ 0. 001 ) . There were significant differences of monthly on-line expenses, usual on-line place, opinions of whether intemet had negative impacts, understanding of their parents on internet functions they used, and the objective of on-line between IAD students and non-IAD students(P＜0.05 -0. 001 ), while there were no significant differences of on-line history and the utilization of internet function between two groups of students ( P ＞ 0. 05).CONCLUSION: The detectable rate of IAD in college students is relatively high and there is significant difference of on-line behavior characters between IAD students and non-IAD students, which should arouse attentions from the related department to prevent the occurrence of IAD.

Objective To investigate the prognostic significance of preoperative fibrinogen levels and explore a new prognostic predictor for colon cancer patients. Methods From January 2007 to Decem-ber 2008,the clinical data of colon cancer patients with radical were reviewed retrospectively. Patients were divided into different groups according to BMI,tumor size,stage,differentiation degree,gross type,vascular infiltration,CEA and mGPS score. Differences in preoperative fibrinogen concentration and overall survival were compared between groups. Results A total of 255 patients were enrolled in this study,the mean pre-operative fibrinogen concentration of enrolled patients was(3. 17 ± 0. 88)g/ L. There were significant differ-ences in And preoperative fibrinogen concentration among patients with different tumor size,stage,differen-tiation degree,gross type,vascular infiltration,CEA and mGPS(P < 0. 05). Moreover,result of univariate analysis manifested that the level of preoperative fibrinogen concentration was associated with the overall survival rate. Conclusion Preoperative fibrinogen concentration is associated with the clinicopathologic features of patients with colon cancer,which can serve as a new prognostic marker for prognosis evaluation.

With the advantages of estrogen, they can regulate endocrine function of the human body, reduce blood cholesterol, decrease the incidence of coronary heart disease, prevent osteoporosis, inhibit tumor growth, and relieve pain. This article summarized the investigations on the medical value of isoflavones in recent years.

Objective To compare the effect and safety of venlafaxine sustained-release tablet combined with Shuganjieyu capsule and venlafaxine sustained-release tablet used singlely in the treatment of moderate to severe poststroke depression.Methods 70 patients suffered from moderate to severe post-stroke depression were randomly divided into two groups,35 cases in each group.The patients in the control group were only treated with venlafaxine sustained-release tablet,and the patients in the study group were treated by venlafaxine sustained-release tablet combined with Shuganjieyu capsule.The treatment lasted 6 weeks.The therapeutic effect and safety were evaluated by the positive and negative syndrome scale of HAMD (17 items),and treatment emergent symptom scale of TESS.Results After treatment for 6 weeks,the total effective rate of the study group was 88.57％,which was significantly higher than 65.71％ of the control group (x2 =5.19,P ＜ 0.05).The HAM D score of the study group w.as (16.42 ± 6.07) points,and the HAMD score of the control group was(10.54 ± 5.23) points after 6 weeks.The difference was statistically significant between the two groups (t =4.34,P ＜ 0.01).The difference of TESS score between two groups was not significant(t =0.18,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Venlafaxine sustained-release tablet combined with Shuganjieyu capsule is effective and safe in the treatment of moderate to severe post-stroke depression.

On sjogrens' syndrome (SS) clinical treatment,most of the clinician focused on nourishing Yim to moisten dryness.In fact,Yang qi was the metabolic power of the human body fluid,exerting an important role in the incidence and prognosis of SS.For SS of Yang deficiency syndrome,water,Qi and fire can not be guided back to the kidney was the key cause,therefore,warming kidney Yang should be the therapeutic principle.Modified Yimhuo decoction can be used in its treatment.
