Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) proliferation is the critical pathological process of in-stent restenosis (ISR). Recent researches indicate that the traditional Chinese medicine curcuma zedoary (E’zhu) can inhibit VSMCs proliferation, with a potential value in preventing and treating ISR. The major ac-tive components of curcuma zedoary are curcuma and β-elemene. The underlying mechanisms involve the inhibition of hemeoxygen-ase-1 expression, blockade of extracellular signal-regulated ki-nase – MAPK and Akt pathways, and subsequent cell cycle ar-rest. This article reviews the recent progress on curcuma zedoary extracts regulating VSMCs proliferation in ISR.

Objective To observe the occurrence of the complication in patients under going interventional therapy for cardiovascular diseases and analyze its causes.Methods The data records of 1015 patients with interventional therapy for cardiovascular diseases in our hospital from October,2003 to October,2004(aged between 7 and 85 years,585 males and 430 females) were analyzed.Among them,520 patients received percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and stent implantation,160 underwent radiofrequency catheter ablation,201 with permanent cardiac pacing,121 received blocking for congenital heart disease,10 received intraartery stent implantation and 29 with other interventional therapy.Results The complication occurred in 7.58% of 1015 patients.A higher incidence of hypotension and aberrant reflex has been reported(2.66% of all,mortality rate 0.39%).Conclusions Interventional therapy for cardiovascular diseases is an effective treatment with some risk.Serious pre-operational appraisal,enriching the experience of the doctors and strict post-operational monitoring may reduce the occurrence of the complication.

Objective To observe the effect of early intervention and intermittent application of bi level positive airway pressure ventilation (BiPAP) in patients with pneumoconiosis combined with chronic respiratory failure.Methods Will meet the diagnostic criteria of pneumoconiosis in GBZ70-2009＜ ＞,the blood gas analysis in patients with chronic type II respiratory failure in 62 cases were randomly divided into rehabilitation treatment group 32 cases,control group of 30 cases.Patients in the observation group were treated by on-invasive ventilation,while the control group were treated by the conventional treatment.The data such as arterial blood gas、pulmonary function、the grade about dyspnea and echocardiography was collected from the both group before the beginning of the treatment and after the three months.Results the PaO2 level、FEV1.0、FEV1.0％ 、the grade of dyspnea and the Right Ventricular Ejection Fractions were not significantly different between the experimental group and the control before the start of the treatment (P＞0.05).After the three month treatment,the PaO2 level of the observation was significantly lower the control (P＜0.05).The data about FEV1.0、FEV10％ and the Right Ventricular Ejection Fractions were higher than the control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion Non-invasive ventilation has exactly effect in the treatment of the pneumoconiosis patients with Chronic Respiratory Failure.It can improve the function of the heart and lung and ease the pain of patients.

Objective:To investigate the CT features of lung injury induced by paraquat poisoning and its relationship with prognosis, and to provide reference for the judgment of the condition and prognosis of paraquat poisoning.Methods:146 cases of paraquat poisoning patients were treated in the Third People's Hospital of Xuzhou City from January 2013 to April 2016. The cases were divided into mild group, moderate-severe group and fulminant group according to the concentration of paraquat in urine. The clinical data and CT imaging findings were analyzed and reconstructed in three-dimensional reconstruction. The extent of the lesion was observed and the relationship between CT and prognosis was explored.Results:Paraquat lung injury has many manifestations on CT images, and it's performance can be intersecting at the same time. Early lesions lighter cases, late CT imaging lesions can be completely absorbed or residual fibrosis, the prognosis was good; the early lesion was pulmonary consolidation, pleural effusion cases, the late CT image was usually pleural thickening and bronchiectasis, the prognosis was relatively good; early lesions were large patches of ground glass opacity cases, finally, pulmonary fibrosis was common, the mortality rate of 56.57%. There were significant differences in the extent of lung injury between different groups ( P<0.001) , and the difference in mortality was statistically significant when the lung injury was different ( P<0.001) . Multivariate stepwise Logistic regression analysis showed that ground-glass opacity ( OR value=2.013) , interstitial lung fibrosis ( OR=3.779) and mediastinal emphysema ( OR=33.118) were risk factors for death of lung injury caused by paraquat poisoning ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:There were many manifestations on CT images of paraquat lung injury, and the manifestations of paraquat lung injury can be intersecting at the same time. The pulmonary manifestations and outcomes of different paraquat types were different. The CT manifestations of lung injury in paraquat poisoning were mainly exudative changes at early stage, and can be gradually absorbed or evolved into interstitial changes at later stage. The cumulative damage range can be used as a reference for evaluating the prognosis. Ground-glass opacity, interstitial pulmonary fibrosis and mediastinal emphysema are the risk factors for death of lung injury caused by paraquat poisoning.

Objective This study aims to investigate the application of symptom group management using a mo-bile health platform in managing heart failure patients during convalescence.Methods The research involved pa-tients with chronic heart failure who were treated at a tertiary A hospital in Qingdao from June 2022 to December 2022.The experimental group consisted of 235 patients who were discharged after treatment in ward A,while the control group consisted of 235 patients who were discharged during the same period in ward B.The experimental group received an mHealth-based symptom clusters management program following routine continuous nursing and the control group was given routine continuous nursing after discharge.6 months after the intervention,the heart function status,self-care level,and quality of life were compared between 2 groups.Results The experimental group ultimately included 232 cases,while the control group ultimately included 225 cases.Furthermore,the cardiac functional status,level of self-care,and quality of life of both the experimental group and the control group showed improvement compared to the pre-intervention period(P＜0.05).The experimental group exhibited significantly better cardiac function status compared to the control group,and the experimental group demonstrated higher levels of self-care confidence,and quality of life relative to the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion The utilization of a mobile medical platform can enhance the management of heart failure patients'symptom groups,resulting in im-proved disease management efficiency.This platform provides patients with a comprehensive self-management plan,ultimately enhancing their self-management abilities and overall outcomes.

【Objective】 To investigate the correlation between perioperative zero red blood cell(RBC) transfusion and the prognosis of patients with acute Stanford type A aortic dissection. 【Methods】 A retrospective analysis was made on 96 patients who underwent one-stop Hybrid surgery for acute Stanford type A aortic dissection in our hospital from May 2021 to May 2022. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether they received perioperative RBC transfusion: zero RBC transfusion group (group A, n=26) and RBC transfusion group (group B, n=70). The preoperative general data and laboratory indexes were recorded and the propensity score matching method was used to screen the patients with the same preoperative baseline data, with comparison of operation-related indicators, intraoperative and postoperative blood component dosage and prognostic indicators. 【Results】 With BMI index, hemoglobin, platelet count, and troponin T as co variables, 48 patients were included in the study after matching according to 1∶1 propensity score: Group A (n=24) and Group B (n=24). Compared with group A, hemoglobin and hematocrit in group B decreased significantly at the end of operation and 24 h after operation, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in operation-related indicators, intraoperative and postoperative blood component dosage, in-hospital mortality, continuous renal replacement therapy, incidence of infection and cerebral infarction (P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 The perioperative hemoglobin of patients with acute Stanford type A aortic dissection with zero RBC transfusion did not significantly decrease, and the postoperative complications and mortality did not increase.

Objective To identify the feasibility and efficacy of indocyanine green ( ICG) used in laparoscopic gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer patients. Methods From December 2018 to August 2019, the clinical data of 82 patients preoperatively diagnosed as advanced gastric cancer undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were divided into ICG group (n＝38) and a historical control group (non?ICG group, n＝44). The number of retrieved lymph nodes, operation time, blood loss, hospital stay, fever time, evacuation time and complications were compared between these two groups. Results The operation time [(172.8±45.8) min vs (162.6±45.7) min], blood loss [(80.1±91.9) ml vs (78.6±89.8) ml], hospital stay [(7.0±2.0) d vs (7.5±2.4) d], fever time [(2.3± 1.2) d vs (2.9±1.9) d], evacuation time [(3.4±0.8) d vs (3.4±1.1) d] and incidence of complications (5.3%vs 9.1%) were not significantly different between the ICG and historical control groups (P＞0.05).The number of retrieved lymph nodes in ICG group was significantly increased compared with that of the historical control group (46.5 vs 33.0, P＝0.005). Conclusions The ICG method applied in lymph node dissection of laparoscopic radical gastrectomy is safe.Moreover, ICG might elevate the efficiency of regional lymph node dissection.
