Objective To explore the risk factors of coronary artery plaque progression and the clinical indexes that could predict plaque progression. Methods The 142 patients had twice coronary artery angiographs were enrolled in this study. Quantitative coronary angiography (QCA)was performed to evaluate angiographs at baseline and follow-up. Results According to the changes of minimum lumen diameter (MLD) in twice angiographs being or not more than 0.4 mm, the patients were divided into plaque progression group (n=54) and non-plaque progression group (n=88). The incidences of myocardial infarction (MI) and diabetes were significantly higher in plaque progression group than in non-plaque progression group [27.8% vs. 5.7%, 63.0% vs. 36.4%], and the serum levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP, 14.5 mg/L vs. 6.3 mg/L) and neutrophil (6.6×109/L vs. 4.3×109/L) were also significantly higher. The incidence of coronary artery plaque progression in patients with high hs-CRP level was 2.52 times higher than in patients with low hs-CRP level, and the incidence in patients with myocardial infarction was 3.98 times as much as patients without MI. Conclusions The hs-CRP and myocardial infarction were the independent risk factors for coronary artery plaque progression.

Objective: To investigate the effect of the enteral nutrition therapy on complication and the recovery in the severe stroke patients.Methods: 116 patients received enteral nutrition therapy and 91 patients accepted fluid food were involved in this trail.The complication,duration in intensive care unit,survival days,hospital costs,blood sugar level and serum albumin level were compared.Results: Compared with control group,the probability of complications,the hospital costs,the duration staying in intensive care unit,the survival days,the blood sugar and the serum albumin were significantly better.Conclusion: It is a proper and essential way to use the enteral nutrition in the patients with severe stroke in the early stage.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathogenical significance of phosphorylation type of c-jun N-terminal kinase(p-JNK)and muhidmg resistance protein P-glycopretein(P-gP),multidrug resistance proteinl(MRP1)and lung resistance protein(LRP)in gastric cancer. Methods The expression of p-JNK,P-gP,MRP1 and LRP was detected in a tissue microarray containing 168 spots of gastric cancer tissue and 27 spots of normal gastric tissue by immunohistochemistry.Results The positive expression rate of p-JNK,P-gp,MRP1 and LRP in gastric cancer wag 45.8%,51.8%,45.8%and 55.4%respectively,which Was significantly higher than that in normal gastric tissue(P＜0.05).The p-JNK expression correlated with depth of invasion(P＜0.01),histology grade(P＜0.05),vessel invasion (P＜0.01),lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis(P＜0.01).The expression of p-JNK,P-gp and MRP1 in a positive relationship(P＜0.05).Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed a significant impact on survival by p-JNK,P-gp and MRPl(P＜0.05). Conclusion The p-JNK expression in gastric cancer is correlated with malignant biological behavior and may be involved in the chemotherapeutic resistance by upregulating the expression of P-g[ and MRP1.

Objective To discuss the clinical value of susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) in the brain vascular malformations. Methods Imaging data of 34 patients with brain vascular malformations proved by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) or pathology obtained on Siemens Sonata 1.5T MR system were studied prospectively, and compared with those of conventional MRI (cMRI) and SWI. Results All 41 lesions of 34 patients with brain vascular malformations showed clearly by SWI. These patients were diagnosed by surgical findings or DSA. These nidus comprised 19 cavernous angiomas, 9 arteriovenous malformations and 6 cerebral venous malformations. Conclusion SWI should be used for clinical diagnosis of brain vascular malformations, and providing more complete and detailed information combining with other sequence.

This study was aimed to observe the effect of Tao-He Cheng-Qi Decoction (THCQD) on tissue injury of different organs among rats with sepsis. A total of 100 Kunming male SD rats of clean grade were randomly divided into five groups, which were the normal control group, model 6 h control group, model 12 h control group, THCQD 6 h group and THCQD 12 h group. The normal control group received no treatment. The classic CLP method was ap-plied in the establishment of sepsis rat model in other groups. Intragastric administration of saline 1 ml/100 g (weight) was given to each rat in the model group every day. Intragastric administration of THCQD 1 ml/100 g (weight) was given to each rat in the THCQD group every day. The model was established after 7 days. Tissue speci-mens of lung, heart, kidney, liver, and small intestine were collected at 6 h and 12 h after modeling, respectively. Pathomorphological changes of each group were observed by light microscopy and electron microscope. The results showed that compared with the model group at the same time point, pathomorphological changes of tissues of the lung, heart, kidney in THCQD group were not significant. However, pathomorphology of tissues of the liver and small intestine changed significantly in the THCQD 12h group. And there were statistical differences (P < 0.05) between two groups in the score of pathomorphology. It was concluded that THCQD had protective effect on tissues of the liv-er and small intestine among rats with sepsis. However, the mechanism is not clear and requires further research.

Angiogenesis is an important pathophysiological process of body response after cerebral ischemia.Angiogenesis is activated in a few hours after cerebral ischemia.It can promote neuronal remodeling and neurological function recovery.Studies have shown that the microvessel density is positively correlated with the long-term survival rate in patients with stroke after cerebral ischemia.This article reviews the regulatory mechanisms and imaging evaluation of angiogenesis after cerebral ischemia.

AIM: To study the antiviral effect of Fufang Yemazhui Capsule(Eupatorium lindleyanum DC) in vitro and in vivo. METHODS: The influences on life span,death rate and lung index and lung histopathology of mice infected by influenza virus were observed. RESULTS: Fufang Yemazhui Capsule obviously inhibited influenza virus in vitro.Fufang Yemazhui Capsule could remarkably prolong life span,decrease lung index and inhibite the lung consolidation. CONCLUSION: Fufang Yemazhui Capsule shows significantly antiviral effect both in vitro and in vivo.

Objective:To study the change rule of rats'pulse waves after kidney resection.Methods:To collect the pulse waves of femoral artery in each side of rats in Drugged state.Then do one-side kidney resection operation,after fully recover from it,collect the pulse waves again.To average the pulse waves in the same cycle length and then do the LSQ regression by 6 harmonics which are correspond with the cycle lengths,analyze the phase and the amplitude of vibration of fundamental wave and harmonics by statistical method.Results:The amplitude of vibration of the 3rd harmonics of pulse waves of femoral artery in the same side with operation and the amplitude of vibration of the 1st to 5th harmonics of pulse waves of femoral artery in the other side with operation has reinforced, the phase of the 1st and 2nd harmonics also have changed regularly.Conclusion:There're some regular changes in the pulse waves of rats after one-side kidney resection operation,which shows that the pulse waves of artery on the body surface can reflect the splanchnic changes.This research can offer some scientific foundation to the pulse-diagnosis in TCM.

OBJECTIVE: To optimize the formula and preparation technology of gel-matrix sustained release tablet of nicotinic acid(GSTNA).METHODS: The formula of GSTNA was optimized by orthogonal experiment with the amount of hydrophilic gel-matrix material HPMC(K15M,E15-LV) and that of adjuvant calcium hydrogen phosphate(CHP) as factors and with the in vitro release rates as index.Meanwhile,the verification test on the intra-and inter-batch release rates of the samples was performed.RESULTS: The optimum formula could be seen as follows: the ratios of HPMC(K15M,E15-LV) and CHP were 4%,40% and 25% respectively.The GSTNA prepared in this formula achieved a sustained drug release of up to 12 h,and both the intra-batch homogenicity and the inter-batch reproducibility were satisfactory.CONCLUSION: The GSTNA is reasonable in formula and simple in preparation technology.
