ObJective To measure the level of MDA and SOD in cerebrospinal fluid from patients with cysticercosis indifferent stages and to investigate their effects on this dieases. Methods Forty-nine patients with a single cysticercus incerebral parenchyma and twenty normal controls parlticipated in the study. According to the magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) results, patients were divided into four stages. The level of MDA,SOD in CSF were tested. The data were analyzedwith the software of SPSS. Results The amount of SOD was significantly decreased in all stages except the fourth stage,while the level of MDA was increased in all the stages,and reached its peak in the second stage. There was a negative cor-relation between SOD and MDA. Conclusion The data suggested oxygen free radicals may be a main mechanism of para-site killing.

Objective To study the inhibitory effect of verapamil and nicardipine on human scar fibroblast in serum-free culture and to compare the effectness of the two drugs.Methods We used MTT method to detect the effect of two drugs on human scar fibroblast proliferation:adding verapamil and nicardipine with different concentrations in the culture of fibroblasts which were in logarithmic growth phase (150,100,50,10,0μmol/L).After 24,72,and 120 h,we used MTT method to detect the cell proliferation,and converted the absorbance into growth inhibitory ratio.Results Verapamil and nicardipine showed the definite inhibition on the hypertrophic scar fibroblast (HSFB) and keloid fibroblast (KDFB) which were cultured in vitro.There was some difference in the action feature.In the earlier period,the effect of verapamil was powerful than that of nicardipine.With time,the effect did not reinforce.When fibroblast had been cultured for three to five days,the inhibition became weak.But nicardipine showed lasting inhibition on fibroblast proliferation.Conclusion Combination of verapamil with nicardipine may be a valuable method in the treatment of scar.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of lenalidomide plus rituximab in treatment of the patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL). Methods The clinical data of the patients with relapsed/refractory B-NHL after the varieties of treatment methods in Peking Union Medical College Hospital between January 2015 and December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients were treated with R2 regimen: oral lenalidomide (25 mg/d for day 1-day 21) and rituximab (375 mg/m2 of intravenous infusion on day 1, 28-day of each cycle); the efficacy was evaluated after three cycles. After this induction phase, the patients achieving complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) were given R2 regimen until the end of 8 cycles. The major end point was overall response rate (ORR) defined as CR + PR. Secondary end point included 1-year progression free survival (PFS), 1-year overall survival (OS) and grade 3-4 adverse events. T cell and B cell subsets of 7 patients at baseline were measured, and T cell and B cell subsets of 13 patients with good efficacy were dynamically observed. Results A total of 49 patients who received 1-4 chemotherapy regimens were included. The ORR after the R2 treatment for 3 courses was 65% (32/49). Thirty-six patients (9 cases of CR, 22 cases of PR, 5 cases of SD) were enrolled in R2 maintenance treatment. The median follow-up time was 13 months, 1-year PFS rate was 61% and 1-year OS rate was 84% . The most common adverse event was bone marrow suppression, including grade 3-4 neutropenia (27% ), grade 3-4 thrombocytopenia (6% ) and grade 4 anemia (4% ), most of which could be controlled by prolonging interval cycles or reduced lenalidomide dosage. The decreased number of CD19+B cell after treatment could be seen in 13 patients who obtained good efficacy under the dynamic observation. Conclusion Lenalidomide plus rituximab is well tolerated and highly active in the treatment of relapsed/refractory B-NHL.

Objective To investigate the clinical application value of longitudinal peak strain( LPS ) and peak strain dispersion ( PSD ) in evaluating left ventricular systolic function and synchrony in patients with essential hypertension . Methods Fifty‐five patients with essential hypertension were enrolled , including 30 patients with non‐left ventricular hypertrophy ( NLV H ) , 25 patients with left ventricular hypertrophy ( LV H ) , at the same time , 30 healthy volunteers were selected as the control group . Echocardiography was performed in all three groups ,and two‐dimensional dynamic images of the left ventricular apical four‐chamber ,three‐chamber ,and two‐chamber′s long‐axis view s were collected for three consecutive cardiac cycles . T he myocardial layer‐specific strain was used to measure the LPS of the left ventricular myocardium of subendocardium ,the middle layer ,the subepicardium ,and the myocardial strain and the PSD of the w hole myocardial layers . Correlation analysis and ROC curve analysis were performed . Results T he LPS in the control group ,NLV H group and LV H group were decreased in turn from inner to out myocardial layers . Compared with the control group , the LPS in the subendocardial , middle , subepicardial ,and w hole myocardial layer of NLV H group were decreased ( P < 0 .05 ) , and the subepicardial myocardial LPS was slightly lower than that in the control group ,the difference was not statistically significant ( P > 0 .05 ) . T he LPS in the subendocardial , middle , subepicardial ,and whole myocardial layer of LV H group were all reduced ( P<0 .05) . Between the NLV H group and LV H group , the declines of the LPS in the subendocardial and middle layer in the LV H group were statistically significant ( P <0 .05) ,the LPS in the subepicardial layer and the w hole myocardial layer had no significant difference ( P >0 .05) . Compared with the control group ,the PSD of the NLVH group and the LVH group increased ( P < 0 .05 ) . Compared with the NLV H group ,the PSD of the LV H group increased ( P <0 .05) . Inter‐ventricular septum thickness ( IVSd) and the LPS in the subendocardial ,middle ,subepicardial , and w hole myocardial layer were negatively correlated ( r = -0 .537 ,-0 .518 ,-0 .266 ,-0 .471 ; all P <0 .05) , left ventricle posterior wall thickness ( LVPWd ) and the LPS in the subendocardial , middle , subepicardial ,and whole myocardial layer were negatively correlated ( r = -0 .539 , -0 .524 , -0 .283 ,-0 .478 ;all P <0 .05) . T he area under the ROC curve ( AUC) of the LPS in the subendocardial ,middle , subepicardial ,and w hole myocardial layer and PSD for the diagnosis of hypertension were 0 .685 ,0 .652 , 0 .510 ,0 .623 ,0 .995 ,respectively . T he cut‐off values were -21 .70% ,-18 .90% ,-16 .95% ,-19 .45% , 46 .50 ms , and the sensitivities were 94 .4% , 83 .3% , 77 .8% , 94 .4% , 100% , respectively , and the specificities were 47 .8% ,52 .2% ,39 .1% ,39 .1% ,95 .7% ,respectively . Conclusions T he layer‐specific strain can quantitatively evaluate myocardial longitudinal strain in patients with essential hypertension , provide a non‐invasive test for early diagnosis of hypertensive heart disease ,and the evaluation of left ventricular myocardial stratification . PSD for evaluating primary synchronous changes in left ventricular myocardial contraction in patients with hypertension has certain advantages .
