Objective To study the clinical efficacy and safety of clopidogrel combined with aspirin in doub-le loading dosage and ordinary dosage in the treatment of acute non -cardiac cerebral infarction.Methods A total of 110 patients with acute non -cardiac infarction were equally assigned into two groups,each group had 55 patients.The patients in group A were treated with clopidogrel 300mg and aspirin 300mg on the 1st day,and followed by clopidogrel 75mg and aspirin 100mg every day.Patients in group B were treated with clopdogrel 75mg and aspirin 100mg every day.Clinical efficacy and safety were evaluated in one week,NIHSS scores were evaluated,and adverse effects were recorded during treatment.Results After one week treatment,the deteriorate rates of group A and B were 12.7%, 18.2%.Compared with group B,group A had lower cerebral infarction deteriorate rate,but there was no statistically significant difference(P =0.429).After seven days treatment,the NIHSS score of A group had improved[(4.42 ± 3.34)points vs.(3.15 ±2.58)points],the difference was statistically significant(t =3.713,P <0.01 ),which in group B had no significant improvement[(4.16 ±2.76)points vs.(3.80 ±3.15)points,t =1.209,P =0.232].After seven days treatment,the NIHSS score improvement of group A was (1.27 ±2.54)points,which of group B was (0.36 ±2.23)points,the difference was statistically significant(t =1.994,P =0.049).No severe adverse effects occurred in both two groups.Conclusion Using clopidogrel combined with aspirin in double loading dosage may effectively attenuate stroke process and improve prognosis than ordinary dosage.Using clopidogrel combined with aspirin had no severe adverse effects in short -term treatment of acute non -cardiac cerebral infarction.

Patent documentation is a kind of high-value scientific literature. In this paper, the World Traditional Medicine Patent Database (WTMPD) was used to retrieve patents of the traditional medicines used in the treatment and prevention of alcoholic worldwide in the past 30 years. A total of 3 238 patents were further screened by a se-ries of processes. Finally, multi-angle analysis was carried on the dataset to form a patent analysis report on tradi-tional medicines used in alcoholism, including the distribution of the patents, the application trend, the domestic and foreign geographical layout, the major applicant and so on. From the analysis, we found that China had a rapid in-crease in the number of patent applications, which was in the leading role in the world, though the technology and the number of PCT applicant from China is relatively low. Puerariae Lobate radix and flos are frequently used in al-coholism patents.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of transcather arterial chemoembolization for hepatic carcinoma and its influence on hepatic function. Methods Patients with HCC were divided into three groups according to repeated TACE times. The therapeutic efficacy was assessed with survival rate, car-cionma size and biologic response (AFP). Hepatic function was evaluated according to some hepatic param-eters(ALT,AST,ALB,DB,TB,PT). Results All three groups responses rates were 4.3%, 23.1% and 31.6% ;srespectively,liver function in group 1 and group 2 returned to its pretreatment level(P <0.05) ,but in group 3, liver function did not return to its pretreatment level associated with more repeated TACE times. The 1-,2-and 3-year survival rates of group 1 were 27.0%, 10.8%, 5.4% ; respectively, while those of group 2 were 57.1%, 33.3%, 19.0% ; respectively, which were not significantly different from those of Team 3 ,which was 62.5%, 37.5%, 18.8%, respectively. Conclusions (1) three to four repeated times TACE was an effective palliative treatment that prolongs survival of patients with HCC,while 1 to 2 re-peated times had a limited benefit; (2) Irreversible hepatic impairment induced by TAEC could affect its therapeutic efficacy.

Non-proline cis peptide bond is rarely found in proteins. The recent surveys revealed that this unusual peptide configuration is by no means a curiosity, but overwhelmingly occurs at functionally important sites. However one still doubts whether it is related to crystal packing interactions, since all non-proline cis peptide bonds identified so far are from crystal structures. A toxin BmK M1 from the scorpion Buthus martensii Karsch have been crystallized as a dimer in space group P212121 with unit-cell dimensions a = 76.39 (A),b=52.77 (A), c=27.12 (A). This dimeric structure was solved by molecular replacement and refined to R=0.109 for all reflections at a resolution of 1.4 (A). The extensively refined structure definitely shows that the cis peptide bond Pro9-His10 equally occurs in both molecule A and molecule B in the dimer. The observation manifested that this striking non-proline cis peptide is not related to crystal packing, but caused by certain intrinsic factors. The detailed analyses and comparison with the structure of BmK M8, which is homologous to M1 but has trans peptide bond 9-10, showed that the five-residue reverse (8 ～12) with a consensus sequence (-KPXNC-) may be the intrinsic structural element for the cis form of this peptide bond. A pair of well organized main-chain hydrogen bond between residues 10 in cis unit and 64 at C-terminus forms main tertiary interactions to stabilize this energetically unfavorable peptide bond.

Objective To investigate the treatment options of acute biliary pancreatitis.Methods A retrospective review was performed in 134 consecutive patients who presented to a single tertiary care institution from 2000 to 2010 with acute biliary pancreatitis.Results Of the 134 patients,30 had a persistent (commonbile duct,CBD)stone.Following multivariate analysis,at admission CBD size on ultrasound,alkaline phosphatase(ALP),total bilirubin(TB),significantly correlated with persistent CBD stone.Receiver operator curve analysis and linear regression were applied to obtain optimal and equitable predictive values,and variables combined.Optimal values were.,CBD≥10 mm;AP≥150 U/L;and TB≥51.3μmol/L.Presence of three variables had an associated odds ratio(OR)of29.5(P<0.001)for presence of persistent CBD stone.Zero variables conferred asignificantly decreased probability of CBD stone,OR 0.07(P<0.001).Conclusions Presence of three variables significantly correlated with persistent CBD stone.Biliary evaluation by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP)is suggested.In the absence of any positive predictive variables,cholecystectomy may be sufficient.Decisions regarding patients with one to two be made vailables should occur on a case-to-case basis.

Objective: Our aim was to investigate the polymorphism and forensic meaning of the Y-chromosomal loci DYS390 and DYS389Ⅰ/Ⅱ in Han nationality in Liaoning Province. Methods: By amplifying these loci with polymorase chain reaction (PCR) followed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and silver staining, the allele frequencies of these loci among 98 unrelated men of Han nationality were investigated. Results: Five alleles with different frequencies from 0.010 to 0.480 were detected of DYS390， and three alleles with different frequencies from 0.224 to 0.439 were detected of DYS 389Ⅰ. Locus DYS 389Ⅱ was detected in five alleles and the frequencies ranged from 0.020 to 0.367. The probability discrimination of these loci were 0.637, 0.644 and 0.723. These loci were found to generate at least 31 different haplotypes and the power of discrimination was 0.948. Conclusion: The loci DYS390 and DYS389Ⅰ/Ⅱ are very important when detect mixed samples, especially in deficiency cases of paternity test.

Objective:To establish and validate a malignant risk prediction model of solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs) with pulmonary fibrosis in long-term smokers based on 18F-flurodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT. Methods:PET/CT images of 222 SPNs combined with pulmonary fibrosis which were shown in integrated CT scan in 169 patients (all males; age 68(63, 75) years) were analyzed retrospectively. All patients were examined in PET/CT Center of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2011 to December 2019 and all had definite smoking history. The benign and malignant nodules were judged according to the pathological diagnosis or follow-up imaging data of lung lesions (follow-up≥2 years). The clinical characteristics (age, smoking index), morphological characteristics (longest diameter of lesion, density, location, distribution, relative position of fibrosis, spiculation, lobulation, calcification, vacuole, vascular convergence, pleural indentation, emphysema and severity of bilateral pulmonary fibrosis) and metabolic characteristics (maximum standardized uptake value (SUV max)) of the benign and malignant lesions were analyzed by χ2 test and Mann-Whitney U test. Then multivariate logistic regression analysis was applied to select independent risk factors of malignant nodules, and a risk prediction model was established and verified by the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and k-fold cross validation ( k=10) respectively. Results:Among 169 patients, 222 SPNs were detected (157 malignant nodules, 65 benign nodules). Univariate analysis showed that smoking index, speculation, lobulation, vascular convergence sign, calcification, emphysema, nodule size, relative position of nodule and fibrosis, SUV max and severity of bilateral pulmonary fibrosis were significantly different between the benign and malignant nodules ( z values: 2.514-9.858, χ2 values: 4.353-18.442, all P<0.05). Result of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that calcification, vascular convergence and SUV max were the independent risk factors of malignant nodules combined with pulmonary fibrosis (odds ratio ( OR): 0.048-2.534, all P<0.05). The risk prediction model was as follow: P=1/(1+ e - x), x=-1.839-3.033×calcification+ 0.930×vascular convergence+ 0.754×SUV max(with calcification/vascular convergence=1, without calcification/vascular convergence=0). The area under ROC curve was 0.932(95% CI: 0.895-0.969), and the sensitivity and specificity of the model were 87.9% and 86.2%, respectively. Results of k-fold cross validation showed that the prediction accuracy of 10 test sets was 0.847±0.075, and was 0.862±0.010 in training sets. Conclusions:Calcification, vascular convergence and SUV max are independent risk factors of malignant SPNs combined with pulmonary fibrosis in long-term asymptomatic smokers. The model based on the above variables presents high diagnostic efficiency in diagnosing malignant SPNs.
