Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and effects of thrombolytic and anti coagulation treatment in over 70 year old patients with pulmonary thromb embolism(PTE). Methods The clinical findings, diagnostic techniques, effects of thrombolytic therapy and anti coagulation in 58 over 70 year old patients with PTE were analyzed retrospectively. Results Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in lower limbs (74 1%) was the most common thrombolism prone factors in our study. Limitation of movement and long term stay in bed due to a variety of causes were in the next place. The clinical findings were atypical, associated with a false diagnostic ratio of 46 5% in elderly patients with PTE. Undefined causal and different degree of dyspnea along with sudden and persistent hypoxemia were the main characteristics. Spiral CT and radioactive nuclear ventilation perfusion scan were important methods for diagnosis of PTE with positive finding of 95 7% and 62 5%, respectively. The effective and cure rate of thrombolytic therapy combined with anti coagulation, anti coagulation and anti platelet therapy was 91 3%, 75 8%, 0 and 47 8%, 17 2%, 0, respectively. Conclusions The most common risk factors of PTE in the elderly was DVT and the long term stay in bed or stay without active moving. The clinical symptoms were not only atypical but also variable. Thrombolytic with anti coagulation therapy is safe and effective, but anti platelet coagulation alone is not benefit.

BACKGROUND: It is very important to explore an optimal loading force that can both allow effective intrusion and cause no damage to the teeth.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the optimal loading conditions, including loading force values and directions, in the intruding mechanics of maxillary anterior teeth.METHODS: A three-dimensional finite element model (3D FEM) of the maxillary anterior teeth was constructed to include the periodontal ligament (PDL), alveolar bone, and appliance (brackets and wire). The initial stress distribution and force of the maxillary anterior teeth were analyzed when the 3D FEM was loaded with different intruding force values and directions. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The optimal value of the intruding force for 6 anterior teeth fell within the range from 0.5 N to 1.0 N. The maximum stress was detected at the distal cervical level of the lateral incisor, and a relatively even distribution of initial stress was observed at 20° palatal deviation to the Y axis. The results suggest that using mini-screw implants at the labial region between the canine and lateral incisor and a combined 0.5-1.0 N intruding force with a distal force could be an optimal intrusion force system by which patients with normal occlusion could obtain a pure intrusion of anterior teeth.

Objective To assess the wall elasticity of the common carotid artery using echo-tracking in healthy children and children with hyperlipidemia.Methods The study included 68 normal healthy children and 25 children with hyperlipidemia.All the subjects were 3-18 years old.They were divided into three groups according to ages 3-6 years old group,7-13 years old group and 14-18 years old group.Echo-tracking was used to measure the pressure-strain elastic modulus (E?),stiffness parameter(?)and arterial compliance (AC) of the common carotid artery.Results The average values of E? were different among the three age groups in normal healthy children (all P

Objective:To explore the effects of compound Danshen dripping pills (CDDP) and CDDP combined with transplantation of human umbilical cord blood cells (HUMNCs) on the inlfammatory response, oxidative stress, myocardial cell apoptosis and cardiac function, and also to investigate the possible mechanisms of the combined therapy in the acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Methods:Rabbit model of AMI successfully established by ligation of the letf anterior coronary artery (LAD). Forty rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=10 per group):a control group, injected with 0.5 mL of saline in 24 h atfer AMI and then gavaged with 5 mL of saline daily;a CDDP group, injected with saline 0.5 mL atfer AMI and then gavaged with CDDP (270 mg/d) daily;a transplantation group, injected with 0.5 mL of saline contained 3 × 107 HUCBMCs [labeled with green fluorescent protein (GFP)] and then gavaged with 5 mL of saline daily;a combined group, injected with 0.5 mL of saline contained 3 × 107 HUCBMCs (labeled with GFP) and then gavaged with CDDP (270 mg/d) daily. Cardiac function index such as left ventricular fractional shorting (LVFS) and ejection fraction(LVEF) were measured by echocardiography;the pathological changes were observed by HE staining and the white blood cells in the myocardium were determined by light microscopy. hTe superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) content in myocardium were detected by nitrotetrazolium blue chloride (NBT) and thiobarbituric acid colorimetric measurement respectively. hTe number of transplanted cells in the myocardium was examined by GFP positive cells counted with lfuorescence microscopy.
Results:1) Compared with the control group (at 1 or 4 week), LVEF and LVFS were signiifcant improved in the CDDP group, the transplantation group and the combined groups (all P<0.05), the improvement degree of cardiac function in the combined group was the most significance. There was no significant difference between the CDDP group and the transplantation group. 2) Compared with the control group (at 1 or 4 week), the number of white blood cell, myocardial cell apoptosis ratio were decreased signiifcantly in the CDDP group, the transplantation group and the combined groups (all P<0.05), this decrease in the combined group was the most signiifcance, and there was no significant difference between the CDDP group and the transplantation group. 3) Compared with control (at 4 week), the SOD activity was increased signiifcantly, and MDA content in myocardium was decreased in the CDDP group, this change in the combined group was the most signiifcance. 4) GFP-positive cells were found to be present in the peri-myocardial infarction area in the transplantation group and the combined group at 1, 4 weeks post-transplantation. hTe number of the GFP positive cells in the combined group was more than that in the transplantation group (P<0.05).
Conclusion:The intravenous transplantation of HUMNCs combined with the CDDP in the treatment of rabbits with AMI could increase the survival rate of transplanted cells and inhibit the myocardial cell apoptosis, therefore improve the heart function. hTe possible mechanism of the combined treatment may be involved in the inhibition of the inlfammatory response and oxidative stress in the myocardium following AMI.

Objective To compare efficacy and side effects of intravenous versus oral indomethacin treatment for symptomatic patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in preterm infants.Methods Fourty-nine preterm infants were reviewed retrospectively who were diagnosed as having symptomatic PDA confirmed by echocardiography.According to the using type and approach that were divided into 2 groups (intravenous group,n=21;oral group,n=28) and their doses and intervals were same.The rates of ductal closure and side effects were compared in 2 groups.Results There were no significantly different between 2 groups in single ductal closure and complicating other diseases. Soon closure of intravenous group was higher significantly than oral group [61.9 %(13/21) vs 28.6 %(8/28),P
