OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of epalrestat combined with lipoic acid on nerve function,oxidative stress and inflammatory reaction in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN). METHODS:From Jan. 2013 to Jan. 2016,150 pa-tients were selected from our hospital and then divided into group A,B,C according to random number table,with 50 cases in each group. Group A was given Lipoic acid injection 600 mg,ivgtt,qd;group B was given Epalrestat tablet 50 mg,po,tid;group C was given lipoic acid+epalrestat,same usage and dosage as above. TSS score,MNCV,SNCV,oxidative stress indexes (SOD and MDA)and inflammatory indexes(TNF-α and IL-6),as well as blood pressure,blood lipid and blood glucose indexes were compared among 3 groups before and after treatment. The occurrence of ADR were observed. RESULTS:Before treatment, there was no statistical significance in above indexes among 3 groups (P>0.05). Compared to before treatment,TSS score, MDA,TNF-α and IL-6 levels of 3 groups were decreased significantly after treatment;MNCV and SNCV were speeded up signifi-cantly,and SOD level was increased significantly;each index of group C was better than that of group A and B,with statistical significance(P<0.05),but there was no statistical significance between group A and B(P>0.05). SBP and FPG after treatment of 3 groups were decreased significantly than before treatment,while HDL-C was increased significantly,with statistical signifi-cance(P<0.05);there was no statistical significance among 3 groups(P>0.05). No obvious ADR was found in 3 groups. CON-CLUSIONS:Epalrestat combined with lipoic acid can effectively improve nerve function in DPN patients by inhibiting oxidant stress and inflammatory reaction with good safety. The effect of drug combination is better than single drug.

Objective To study the effect of the combination of pathidine hydrochloride and anisodamine on the intraoperative effiacy of transhepatic biliary drainage and stent implantation done on the patient with advanced malignant obstructive jaundice.Methods 100 cases of percutaneous transhepatic catheterizde drainage (PTCD) and percutaneous transhepatic biliary stenting (PTBS) done for advanced malignant obstructive jaundice were divided into control group and experimental group,50 cases in each group.In experimental group,100 mg pethidine hydrochloride and 10 mg anisodamine were injected intramuscularly 30 min before operation,while in control group,no analgesic or antispasmodic were used before and during operation.The blood pressure and heart rate were observed,the incidence rate of biliary-cardiac reflex and operating time were recorded,while the scale of pain felt by patient was evaluated with visual analogue scale.Results Compared to the control group,the patients in experimental group have more stable vital signs,feel more comfortable,suffering shorter operative time,less incidence rate of biliary cardiac reflex and less pain by using pethidine hydrochloride and anisodamine.Conclusion Application of pathidine hydrochloride and anisodamine during the transhepatic biliary drainage and stent implantation done on the patient with advanced malignant obstructive jaundice may release pain,reduce operating time.It is safe,at lower cost and can be used as routine medicine before PTCD or PTBS.

Objective To analyze CT and MRI manifestations of the aneurysmal bone cyst and to evaluate the value of its imaging diagnosis.Methods The manifestations of CT and MRI of the aneurysmal bone cyst confirmed by operation or puncture were analysed retrospectively.Results On CT images,there were obvious liqued-liqued level within the lesions in 16 cases,in which,the CT values in up part was lower than that in low part,and there were obvious soft tissue mass in secondary aneurysmal bone cyst.While,on MRI,all lesions appeared obvious liqued-liqued level except one secondary example,and the soft tissue mass of secondary aneurysmal bone cyst was clear showed.Conclusion Most of aneurysmal bone cyst appear liqued-liqued level within the lesions on CT and MRI,it is a characteristic sign,but not the only one.
