Journal of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2014;(5):712-715,719
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Xuebijing injection ( XI) for the treatment of septic myocardial injury, and to study the possible therapeutic mechanism. Methods Thirty-nine qualified septic myocardial injury patients were randomly divided into XI group (N=24) and control group (N=15) . Both groups were treated with conventional therapy, including anti-inflammation treatment, transfusion for resuscitation, nutritional support, symptomatic and supportive treatment, and supportive treatment for keeping vital organ function. XI group was given intravenous drip of XI based on the conventional therapy. Before and after treatment, the peripheral blood concentrations of myocardial-specific isoenzyme of creatine kinase (CK-MB), cardiac troponin I (cTnI), brain natriuretic peptide ( BNP) and plasma calcitonin ( PCT) were detected, and the changes of electro-cardiogram ( ECG) were also observed. The mortality within 28 days was compared between XI group and the control group. Results ( 1) After treatment, cTnI, BNP and PCT concentrations in XI group were decreased significantly as compared with the control group, and there was statistical significance (P <0.05) . However, the decrease of CK-MB was not obvious in XI group ( P>0.05 compared with the control group) . ( 2) The difference of ECG was insignificant between the two groups after treatment ( P>0.05) . ( 3) The 28-day mortality was 8.33% in XI group, and was 13.33% in the control group, the difference being insignificant between the two groups (P>0.05) . (4) During the treatment, none case had adverse reaction. Conclusion XI can improve the myocardial injury, and relieve inflammation of septic myocardial injury patients.

International Eye Science 2015;(4):678-680
AIM: To compare the efficacy of different locations scleral tunnel incision in phacoemulsification cataract on preoperative corneal astigmatism.
METHODS:Totally 90 patients (94 eyes) in our hospital who had undergone the phaco-surgery from March 2013 to October 2014 were divided into two groups. The group A was those with 3. 2mm scleral tunnel incision at the direction of 10:00 ~11:00 points. The group B was those with 3.2mm scleral tunnel incision at the steepest corneal meridian. Incision was not sutured. Corneal astigmatism status of preoperative and postoperative at different times were detected by corneal refractive. The impact of different surgical incision on postoperative corneal astigmatism was compared. In the two groups, patients with preoperative corneal astigmatism<1. 00D, 1. 00 ~2.00D and > 2. 00D were compared respectively. The changes of the uncorrected visual acuity and corneal astigmatism at postoperative 1wk, 1 and 3mo were observed.
RESULTS:The uncorrected visual acuity of the patients who were in the group B preoperative corneal astigmatism <1. 00D and 1. 00 ~ 2. 00D was better than that in the group A. The postoperative corneal astigmatism of the patients who were in the group B preoperative corneal astigmatism <1. 00D was lower than that in the group A.
CONCLUSION: On the basis of preoperative corneal astigmatism, 3. 2mm scleral tunnel incision at the steepest corneal meridian to some extent can correct preoperative corneal astigmatism < 1. 00D, and accordingly improve the uncorrected visual acuity.

Objective To systematically observe the damage of pancreas and changes of serum amy-lase and lipase in septic rat at different time points after the septic rat model being established. Methods Fifty-four male rats were randomly divided into sham group,sepsis group and normal control group. In the sepsis group,rats were given cecal ligation and puncture so as to produce a model of the rat′s intestinal septic shock. In sham group,after opening the abdominal cavity of the rats,only the cecum was pulled out of the abdominal cavity,then the abdominal cavity was satisfied and stitched. The arterial blood and pancreatic tis-sues of the rats in both sepsis and sham groups were collected for detection of serum amylase and lipase and observation of damage of pancreas by light and electron microscopy at 3 h,6 h,12 h,24 h after the model be-ing established. Results The levels of serum amylase of sepsis group showed a rising trend over time,and peaked at 24 h(2 779. 83 U/L), which showed no difference among 4 time points. There was no significant difference of serum amylase among 3 groups at each time point except for 12 h value. The levels of serum li-pase in both sepsis and sham group were higher than that in normal control group at 3 h(P<0. 05),while de-creased to the level of normal control group at 24 h. By light microscope,pathological changes of pancreas in the sham groups were that lobule was slightly widened; mild interstitial edema,vasodilation and a little in-flammatory cell infiltration were occasionally found;most of the lobular structure was complete. In the sepsis group,pancreatic pathological changes aggravated with time prolonged. Pancreatic lobules gap widened,inter-stitial were infiltrated by the inflammatory cell,flocculus brim structure was fuzzy,focal necrosis was found occasionally,islet structure was complete at 3 h. Pancreatic lobule was significantly wider,more inflammatory cell infiltrated,necrosis enlarged at 6 h,and pancreatic lobule was obvious edema,more inflammatory cell in-filtration and focal necrosis were found at 12 h. Vascular of pancreatic lobule was dilatation and congestion, pancreatic lobule and islet edge blurred,more lobular necrosis at 24 h. The modified Schmidt scoring of sham group and sepsis group at 3 h,6 h,12 h,24 h were 2. 0,3. 6,3. 4,3. 6 and 4. 6,6. 0,6. 8,7. 6,respectively. By transmission electron microscope,the ultrastructure of pancreatic cell in sham group was normal,mitochondri-al and lysosomal swelling were found occasionally. When in the sepsis group,the nucleus was normal,some mitochondria was swelling and cracking, lysosomes was swelling at 3 h, nucleus was complete, a part of swelling mitochondria and lysosomes appeared vacuolated necrosis at 6 h,and karyopyknosis and chromatin condensation were found,more mitochondria and lysosomes were swelling necrosis and vacuolar degenerated, rough endoplasmic reticulum was swelling at 12 h,cell karyopyknosis and chromatin condensation were obvi-ous,a large number of mitochondria and lysosome, endoplasmic reticulum were swelling, dilatation and vacuolar necrosis at 24 h. The modified Schmidt scoring showed no significant correlation with the levels of serum amylase and lipase in sepsis group(r=0. 472,P=0. 199;r=0. 260,P=0. 499). Conclusion The pancreas was damaged in the septic rat. The pathological changes of pancreas were obvious at 6 h after sepsis onset. The characteristics of the pancreas ultrastructure change includes the changes of the mitochondria and lysosome in the early period,clear vacuoles necrosis of mitochondria and lysosome,and destruction of nucleus and the endoplasmic reticulum. There is no significant correlation between pancreatic pathological changes and serum amylase as well as lipase,serum amylase and lipase can′t indicate the extent of pancreas damage in sepsis.
