Objective To evaluate the mechanism of Fumai decoction in treating type 2 diabetes mellitus combined with acute cerebral infarction. Methods 68 cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus with acute cerebral infarction patients were divided into treatment group (34 cases) and western medicine control group (34 cases) at random. The serum levels of Endothelin (ET), Calcitonin gene related-pepitide (CGRP), Thromboxane-B2 (TXB2), 6-ketone-prostagla-ndins F1? (6-keto-PGF1?) and cerebral blood flow variation, clinical therapeutic effect were observed. Result Compared 2 groups, there was significant difference in improving neurological impairment, cerebral artery stenosis, cerebral circulation insufficiency and reducing levels of ET and TXB2, enhancing levels of CGRP and 6-keto-PGF1? (P0.05). Conclusion Fumai decoction can adjust the serum levels of ET, CGRP, TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1?, and improve cerebrovascular function. Probably this is one of the mechanisms in treating type 2 diabetes mellitus with acute cerebral infarction.

The changes of hepatocyte and skeletal muscle membrane potential.the membrane fluidity of microsomes,microviscosity.and the order coefficient of the arrangement of membrane lipid molecules were determined in rats after their cecum was ligated and punctured to induce septic shock.Lipid peroxides of plasma and the liver,phospholipase A2 and salivary acid were determined as well.It was found that both in the first 10 hours and the next 20 hours of septic shock,the resting membrane potential of hepatocytes and skeletal muscles was significantly suppressed as compared with that of the sham-operated rats.The membrane potential of hepatocytes was suppressed prior to the decrease of blood pressure and much earlier and much more severe than that of skelatal muscles.Lipid peroxides of the liver were increased by 1.6 fold(P

This paper is to report the determination of the skeletal muscle cellular membrane potential (SMCMP) in vivo with the technique of "Semi-floating"glass microelectrode. The changes of SMCMP and the distribution of extra- and intracellular electrolytes and water in different phases of irreversible hemo-rrhagic shock in rabbits were studied systematically.It was found that SMCMP decreased significantly and immediately as soon as hypotension occurred, which means that the functions of the cellular membrane begin to deteriorate in the early stage of shock; SMCMP continued to decrease when the shock was progressing, which reflects that besides the failure of the cellular membrane function, there is also the degradation of the functions of the cell proper; the leakage of the intracellular potassium across the cellular membrane and the retention of the intracellular sodium and water occurred three hours after the onset of the shock, which indicates that the inability of cells to regulate their volume.

Objective To assess effects of stress dynamic CT myocardial perfusion imaging (CT-MPI) combined with coronary CT angiography (CCTA) on the diagnosis of myocardial perfusion defects in coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods Patients with CAD diagnosed by CCTA underwent ATP stress CT-MPI examination. Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (SPECT-MPI) was performed within one week and set as the reference standard. CT-MPI results were qualitatively analyzed, and myocardial blood flow (MBF), myocardial blood volume (MBV) as well as time to peak (TTP) were quantified according to CT-MPI. Effects of CCTA, CT-MPI, and CT-MPI combined with CCTA on predicting myocardial perfusion defects were assessed in comparison with NMPI. Results Thirty patients [(54.8±8.4)years] were enrolled in our study, 20 were men (68%). MBF [(79.3±18.0) versus (135.1± 35.2) ml·100 ml-1·min-1] and MBV [(8.9±2.9) versus (13.8±8.9) ml/100 ml] were significantly decreased in hypoperfused segments compared with normal segments, while TTP was increased in hypoperfused segments [(13.9 ± 2.5)s] compared with normal segments [(9.1 ± 2.1)s] (t=0.302, 0.866 and 0.024 respectively, all P values<0.01). The sensitivity, specificity of CT-MPI for identifying segments with perfusion defects were 91.3%(147/161), 84.6%(281/332), respectively. On a per-vessel basis, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for predicting myocardial perfusion defects were 0.635(95%CI:0.517—0.753) for CCTA, 0.709(95%CI:0.599—0.819)for CT-MPI, and 0.837(95%CI:0.749—0.925)for CT-MPI combined with CCTA, respectively. Conclusions The performance of stress dynamic CT-MPI in the diagnosis of myocardial perfusion defects in CAD was good. One-stop examination of CT-MPI combined with CCTA improves the diagnostic accuracy for identifying flow-obstructing stenosis.

Objective To build a predictive model of depression with secondary mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in elderly patients based on current clinical diagnosis and treatment technology,and to analyze its application.Methods Elderly patients with depression hospitalized in three hospitals were consecutively included in our study from September 2013 to December 2015 for collecting relevant clinical data,and followed up for 18 months to confirm a prognosis.The follow-up results were used to predict influencing indices for secondary MCI risk,and to verify judgement effectiveness of the critical value of the relevant indices on the window of time of the secondary MCI.Results A total of 216 elderly patients with depression were included in this study,of whom 9 patients were lost to follow-up.Finally,27 patients had secondary MCI,and 180 patients had normal cognitive function during the follow-up period.Cox multiple regression analysis showed that the risk model of secondary MCI in elderly patients with depression was composed of age (HR:1.30,95 ％ CI:1.12-1.64,P =0.03),education years (HR:0.56,95 ％ CI:0.41-0.80,P =0.01),regular psychological treatment (HR:0.73,95％ CI:0.58-0.92,P=0.03),and BSSI scale (HR:1.24,95％ CI:1.08-1.56,P=0.03).Age and BSSI scale were risk factors,while education years and regular group psychotherapy were protective factors.For an elderly patient with depression who was characterized by age ≥ 72.3 years,education years ＜8.3 years,and BSSI scale ≥75.1,the window of time for secondary MCI was shorter,and these critical values of the independent factors had significant judgement effectiveness.Conclusions Age,education years,regular psychological treatment,and BSSI scale are independently influencing factors for secondary MCI in elderly patients receiving the treatment for depression.Furthermore,age ≥72.3 years,the education period ＜8.3 years,and BSSI scale ≥75.1 points are critical values of secondary MCI.

Objective To assess the diagnostic value of 3.0T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasonic cardiography in women with high altitude pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Methods Seventy-six women with high altitude PAH treated at our hospital were divided into either an MRI group (group A) or an ultrasonic cardiography group (group B), with 38 cases in each group. Fifty healthy women from high altitude areas were enrolled as a control group (group C). Group A underwent MRI examination alone, Group B underwent ultrasonic cardiography examination alone, and Group C underwent concomitant MRI and ultrasonic cardiography examinations. Diagnosis accuracy and diagnostic results were compared among different groups. Results Compared with group B, diagnosis accuracy significantly rose in group A (P < 0.05). MRI showed that except right ventricular end diastolic transverse diameter,left atrial diameter, aortic diameter, and right ventricular end systolic transverse diameter, other indexes differed significantly between groups A and C (P < 0.05). Ultrasonic cardiography showed that the SPAP of group B was (44.5 ± 8.6) mmHg. Right ventricular outflow tract, pulmonary artery, right ventricular inner diameter, right atrial inner diameter, right ventricle anterior wall, interventricular septal thickness, right ventricular Tei index, and right ventricular ejection fraction differed significantly between groups B and C (P<0.05), although there was no significant difference in LVEF or LV-Tei between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Both MRI and ultrasonic cardiography can diagnoses high altitude PAH in women effectively. MRI can accurately evaluate the heart structure and function in women with high altitude PAH, representing a more efficient diagnostic method.
