OBJECTIVE:To compare amiodarone and cedilanid in the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation(AF) with intravenous administration and control of heart rate.METHODS:47 AF patients were randomly given 150～600 mg amiodarone(amiodarone group,n=24) and 0.2～0.6 mg cedilanid(cedilanid group,n=23) intravenously.The outcome,change of heart rate and adverse drug reaction of 2 groups were observed.RESULTS:Effective rate of amiodarone group was significantly higher than that of cedilanid groups(P

It is an important goal of the modern medical education to culture the innovative ability of medical students. In the clinic teaching of thoracic surgery, illuminating innovative thinking, optimizing and recombining teaching contents, flexible utilizing of teaching approach and methods, and innovating practical teaching are in favor of creating the innovative thinking and innovative ability of the students.

OBJECTIVE: To study the treatment effect of CO2 laser and self-made laryngeal dilator on the laryngeal stenosis. METHOD: Twenty-five patients with laryngeal stenosis were treated with CO2 laser and self-made laryngeal dilator. The laryngeal cavity scar was resected as much as possible by using CO2 laser and the laryngeal cavity was exposed by placing laryngeal dilator under general anesthesia. RESULT: The 24 cases of all were successfully decanulated 1 to 12 months after operation and could breathe freely. One case had second operation and was successfully decanulated 9 months after operation. The follow-up for 1 to 2 years showed all cases speaking well and 3 cases recurrence. CONCLUSION The method for treating laryngeal stenosis using CO2 laser and self-mande laryngeal dilator is effective, fewer complication, less invasive, and faster recovery. The laryngeal dilator is made simply and conveniently.

Objective To investigate the in vitro inhibitory effect of LIGHT on human esophageal carcinoma cells. Methods LIGHT Fc expression vector was transfected into human esophageal squamous carcinoma cell line, Eca109. The inhibitory effect of LIGHT gene on cell growth was detected by MTT and cell growth curve. The expressions of LT?R and HVEM were detected by RT PCR. Results Expression of LIGHT Fc gene could inhibit Eca109 cell proliferation. The growth curve of Eca109/LIGHT was significantly lower than that of the control group in the culture medium containing 1% FCS. MTT test showed that there was significant difference in cell viability between Eca109/LIGHT and the control group ( P

Objective To study the therapeutical effect of γ-aminobutyric acid on monocrotaline(MCT )induced pulmonary hy-pertension rats ,and to elucidate the expression of VEGF and MMP-9 .Methods Thirty SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups :a normal control group(control group) ,a MCT-induced pulmonary hypertension group(model control group) ,and anγ-ami-nobutyric acid treatment group(treatment group) .The mean right ventricular pressure(mRVP)were detected ,the right ventricular hypertrophy index(RVHI)were measured ,WT% and WA% were evaluated ,and the expression of VEGF mRNA in the lung tissue and MMP-9 were detected wtih FQ-PCR and immunohistochemical staining method respectively .Results mRVP ,RVHl ,WT% , WA% and the expression of MMP-9 and VEGF mRNA of treatment group were lower than those in the model control group(P<0 .05) ,but higher than the control group(P<0 .05) .Conclusion GABA has a therapeutic effect on pulmonary hypertension rats through regulating the expression of VEGF mRNA and MMP-9 protein .

0.05).CONCLUSION:Nedaplatin combined with docetaxel is effective and safe for advanced NSCLC with high short-term efficacy and mild toxic side reaction in digestive tract and kidney.but the long-term efficacy of it require further study.

Pancreatic cancer is a one of the most malignant digestive cancer.Because the lack of effective methods for early diagnosis,most patients have been ineligible for surgical resection when diagnosed.Kallikrein family is a group of serine proteases,because of its ability to decompose the extracellular matrix proteins,it may be closely related to the invasion and metastasis of various cancers.And some members of kallikrein family may become cancer diagnostic biomarkers.This paper reviews all the recent articles about kallikrein family study in pancreatic cancer.
