Objective To investigate the influence of trimetazidine combined with atorvastatin on heart func-tion and the BNP level in patients with cornary heart failure.Methods The clinical data of 400 patients with cornary heart disease were retrospectively analyzed.194 patients in the control group were treated with conventional treatment, 206 patients in the observation group were treated with trimetazidine combined with atorvastatin on the basis of the control group.The treatment effect,cardiac function and BNP level were observed and compared.Results The effec-tive rate of the observation group was 91.26%,which was significantly higer than 76.29% of the control group (χ2 =16.667,P <0.05).After treatment,the cardiac index,stroke volume,cardiac output,left ventricular ejection fraction and BNP level of the two groups were significantly higher than before treatment,and those in the observation group were significantly higher than the control group(t =2.505,2.851,3.308,3.452,all P <0.05).Conclusion Trime-tazidine combined with atorvastatin in treatment of cornary heart failure has good curative effect,it can reduce the serum level of BNP,improve cardiac function significantly,which is of great value for clinical use.

Objective:To detect and analyze the membrane estrogen receptor(mER)in primary cultured interstitial cells of Cajal(ICC).Methods:Interstitial Cells of Cajal(ICC)'s surface binding sites for 17-?estradiol(E2)were detected by cell-impermeant ligand using confocal microscopy.Radioligand binding assay and Scatchard software were used to analyzed the characteristics of mER.Results:Immunofluorescence shows the staining pattern of nonfixed,nonpermeabilized ICC incubated with E2BSAFITC.The radioligand binding assay were analyzed by Scatchard software,The Bmax of mER was 45.75 fmol/mg protein and the kD was 0.717 3 nmol/L.Conclusion:A form of the estrogen receptor is present within the cell membrane of ICC and maybe capable of mediating rapid effect of estrogen.

Owing to the advanced age,limb hemiplegia,dehydration,and vessel wall injury,stroke may be easy to cause venous thromboembolism (VTE).VTE mainly include deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE).DVT refers to abnormal blood clotting in the veins and impedes venous return.The dislodgement of emboli from the vessel wall can form a thrombotic embolism,and cause PE,myocardial infarction,and stroke; it can not only prolong hospitalization,but also increase the mortality.This article reviews the incidence,risk factors,treatment,and prevention of DVT after a stroke.

Objective To explore the distribution and characterization of class 1 integrons in E.coli from healthy feces,and to elucidate the status of gene-cassettes.Methods Routine method was used to isolate E.coli,antibiotics susceptibility was tested by the disk diffusion method;class 1 integron was detected by PCR assay;PCR products were sequenced and analyzed.Results Of 97 samples,76 isolates were identified,and 25 isolates were multiple-drug resistant.The antibiogram was sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim,ampicillin,streptomycin,tetracycline,erythromycin.14 of 25 isolates carried class 1 integrons,and the size of integrons differed from 1 800 bp(10 strains) to 750 bp(4 strains).The sequenced PCR product demonstrated that the 1 800 bp integron laboured aadA1-dfrA14-orf gene cassette conferred the resistance to sulfamethoxazole-timethoprim,streptomycin and aminoglycoside;the 750 bp integron laboured dfrA14 gene cassette conferred the resistance to sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim.Conclusion The different kinds of class 1 integrons exist in E.coli from the healthy students,and determine the multiple-resistant antibiotics.

OBJECTIVETo compare the efficacy differences between needle-knife therapy and acupuncture-cupping for treatment of cervical spondylosis (CS) of cervical type.

METHODSSixty cases of CS were randomly divided into a needle-knife group (30 cases) and an acupuncture-cupping group (30 cases). The needle-knife therapy was applied at points among superior nuchal line of occipital bone, bilateral neck muscle, neck centerline, trapezius and medial border scapula for only once. In the acupuncture-cupping group, acupuncture was applied at Fengchi (GB 20), Fengfu (GV 16), Tianzhu (BL 10), Dazhui (GV 14), Jianjing (GB 21), Jiaji (Ex-B2, from C4 to C6), Houxi (SI 3) and Ashi point, followed by cupping on local skin, once every other day for totally six times. The score of neck stiffness and visual analogue scale (VAS) were observed before and after treatment, in follow-up of 1, 3 and 6 months after treatment in the two groups, and the efficacy was compared.

RESULTSIn the needle-knife group, 9 cases were cured, 12 cases were markedly effective, 8 cases were effective and 1 case was failed; the total effective rate was 96.7% (29/30) and the cured and markedly effective rate was 70.0% (21/30). In the acupuncture-cupping group, 8 cases were cured, 9 cases were markedly effective, 11 cases were effective and 2 cases were failed; the total effective rate was 93.3% (28/30) and the cured and markedly effective rate was 56.7% (17/30). The difference of total effective rate in the two groups was not statistically significant (P > 0.05), but the cured and markedly effective rate of needle-knife group was significantly superior to that of acupuncture-cupping group (P < 0.05). The needle-knife therapy was significantly superior to acupuncture-cupping on improvement of neck stiffness in the follow-up of 1, 3, 6 months after treatment (P < 0.05, P < 0.001); both treatments were effective on relief of neck pain, but the needle-knife group had better effects in the follow-up of 3 and 6 months after treatment compared with acupuncture-cupping group (both P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONThe needle-knife therapy has better effects on neck stiffness and pain relief than acupuncture-cupping, and it is more treatment time saving.

Objective To evaluate serum Slit2 protein level in patients with chronic severe hepatitis B,and the re-lation with extent of liver damage and prognosis of patients.Methods In February-July 2014,patients with chronic hepatitis B(chronic hepatitis group)and chronic severe hepatitis B(chronic severe hepatitis group)in an infectious department were observed,healthy volunteers were as control group,and patients in chronic severe hepatitis group were subdivided into recovery subgroup and non-recovery subgroup based on whether patients had recovered.Serum Slit2 protein,prothrombin activity (PTA),total bilirubin (TBIL),and alanine transaminase (ALT)levels were detected and compared.Results A total of 157 patients (chronic hepatitis group,n =93;chronic severe hepatitis group,n=64)and 10 healthy volunteers were included in the study .Slit2 protein levels were significantly different among three groups(F =5.596,P =0.004),serum Slit2 protein levels in chronic hepatitis group and chronic severe hepatitis group were (4.90±1 .07)ng/mL and (3.09±1 .00)ng/mL respectively,both were higher than (2.10± 0.60)ng/mL in healthy control group (both P <0.05);serum Slit2 protein level in chronic severe hepatitis group was significantly lower than chronic hepatitis group (P <0.05).Serum Slit2 protein level in non-recovery subgroup of chronic severe hepatitis group was significantly lower than recovery subgroup ([1 .88±0.67]ng/mL vs [2.96± 1 .32]ng/mL,t=2.319,P =0.032).Serum Slit2 protein level in patients with chronic hepatitis B was positively correlated with PTA level(r=0.33,P <0.05),but negatively correlated with serum TBIL level (r =-0.46,P <0.05)and ALT level (r=-0.32,P <0.05).Conclusion Serum Slit2 protein level is an important index which can re-flect the prognosis of patients with chronic severe hepatitis,low serum Slit2 level suggests the poor clinical prognosis.

Objective To investigate the relationships between fasting plasma glucose (FPG) level in early pregnancy and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).Methods Data of 11 477 pregnant women who accepted prenatal care in Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital from October 2011 to September 2012 were collected.FPG was tested during 8 to 12 weeks of pregnancy in all women and those with FPG＜7.00 mmol/L were recruited.Women accepted 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) during 24 to 28 weeks of pregnancy.The GDM diagnostic criteria was with reference to the criteria of International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Group.Mann-Whitney U test was used to analyze the difference of early pregnancy FPG between normal pregnant women and GDM women.Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the validity and applicability of using early pregnancy FPG in GDM diagnosis.Chi-square test was used to analyze the relationship between the FPG levels and GDM diagnosis.Results There were 1 535 (13.4％) women diagnosed as GDM in 24 to 28 weeks of pregnancy (the rest 9 942 normal cases were taken as the controls).The median FPG level of the GDM group was 4.89 mmol/L (4.62-5.15 mmol/L),which was higher than that of the controls [4.75 mmol/L(4.53-4.98 mmol/L)] (Z=-13.994,P=0.000).The maximum area under curve (AUC),which was used to predict GDM with early pregnancy FPG,was 0.599 (95％ CI:0.582-0.617).Taking FPG 4.88 mmol/L as the cutoff value,the sensitivity was 0.523 and the specificity was 0.645.While taking FPG 5.10 and 5.60 mmol/L as the cutoff value,the sensitivity was 0.334 and 0.068,and the specificity was 0.811 and 0.983,respectively.When the FPG level ≤ 4.09,-4.60,-5.10,-5.60,-6.10 and ≥ 6.10 mmol/L,the GDM diagnostic rate gradually increased [8.5％(23/212),9.9％(335/3 379),12.3％(719/5 858),20.7％(359/1 734),40.2％ (78/194) and 52.5％ (21/40)] (x2=300.523,P=0.000).GDM diagnostic rate in FPG ≤ 4.09,-4.60,-5.10 and-5.60 mmol/L group were lower than that in FPG ≥ 5.60 but ＜6.10 mmol/L group and ≥ 6.10 mmol/L group (x2 were 67.242,164.680,128.125,37.860,55.843,76.856,58.589 and 23.484,all P=0.000) ; GDM diagnostic rate in FPG ≤ 4.09,-4.60,-5.10 mmol/L group were lower than that in FPG ≥ 5.10 but ＜5.60 mmol/L group (x2 were 22.877,113.717 and 78.040,all P=0.000); GDM diagnostic rate in FPG ≥ 4.09 but ＜4.60 mmol/L group was lower than that in FPG ≥ 4.60 but ＜5.10 mmol/L group (x2=11.803,P=0.001).When using abnormal fasting and postprandial OGTT level as GDM diagnostic criteria,the ratio of GDM in early pregnancy FPG level ≥ 5.60 but ＜6.10 mmol/L group and FPG ≥ 6.10 mmol/L group were higher than that of the FPG level ＜5.60 mmol/L group [50.0％ (39/78) and 71.4％ (15/21) vs24.1％ (346/1 436),x2 were 12.456 and 21.443,all P＜0.003].Conclusions Early pregnancy FPG level is not proper to be used as an early diagnostic tool of GDM.However,when early pregnancy FPG level is equal to or greater than 5.60 mmol/L,the incidence of GDM in late pregnancy will increase significantly.

Tau is the most abundant microtubule-associated protein in the brain .If tau protein lost the normal function, the toxic effect should be showed and plays an important role in various central nervous system lesions .Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy ( HIE) is an important cause of mortality in the neonatal period and it is mainly characterized by neurological deficits such as cognitive limitations .However , the mechanism still needs further study , and the underlying re-lationship between tau protein and HIE lacks direct evidence .Some recent clinical study reported that tau protein expres-sion elevated in the serum of asphyxia children and had a high correlation with behavior deficient .In this review , we focus on 3 key points to provide new insights to understand the tau protein-related pathogenesis of HIE as followed:(1) tau pro-tein and its phosphorylation change during central nervous system development ;(2) comparison of tau protein expression in developing brain and adult brain under some neurological disorders;(3) potential pathological change of tau in HIE related pathological conditions , such as dysmyelination , inflammation response and glutamate metabolism .

Objective To compare the influence of two different managements of relief incision (exposed relaxation therapy or absorbable hemostatic gauze) in infants' palatoplasty. Methods A total of 118 infants with cleft palate between 5- to 8-month-old for the study were randomly divided into two groups: group A was exposed therapy group, and in group B both sides of relief incision were placed absorbable hemostatic gauze. The wound bleeding, body temperature, diet and incidence of fistula were observed and analyzed after operation. Results There was no significant difference between the two groups in postoperative temperature, diet and wound healing (P>0. 05). The postoperative wound bleeding was statistically significant differences between the two groups (P<0. 05). Conclusions Either exposed therapy or placed absorbable hemostatic gauze in relief incision, has minimal systemic and local reactions in the postoperative infant. The advantages of exposed treatment are economic and simple, and less irritant to the wound.
