Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of trimetazidine combined with salvia ligustrazine injections in the treat-ment of unstable angina in coronary heart disease with type 2 diabetes. Methods:Totally 76 patients of unstable angina with type 2 di-abetes were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group with 38 cases in each. The control group received trime-tazidine on the basis of the conventional treatment, 20mg,po,tid, while the patients in the observation group received salvia ligustrazine injections additionally, 10ml, ivd,qd. The treatment course was 2 weeks, and the clinical efficacy, blood fat, blood rheology and the other indices were observed after the treatment. Results:After the treatment, the effective rate of the control group and the observation group was 65. 79% and 86. 84%,respectively with statistically significant difference(P<0. 05), the improvement of blood fat and blood rheology in the observation group was better than that in the control group (P<0. 05), the angina frequency and duration, and nitroglycerin consumption in the observation group was significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0. 05). Conclusion:The combination application containing trimetazidine and salvia ligustrazine shows exact clinical efficacy with promising safety and compli-ance, which is valuable in the clinical application.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of open occluded coronary artery branch through outside stent balloon expansion technique.Methods A retrospective analysis of 26 patients,26 interventional treat-ment of coronary bifurcation lesions were taken.All patients initially used conventional interventional techniques, branch reserve protection guidewire and main branch stent.When branch occlusion occured during operation and failed again through guidewire,small outer diameter of the balloon branch guidewire which was squeezed could be used to branch opening.The blocked branch opening was expanded outside of the stent,and the balloon was expanded after the guide wire enter into branch again.The main branch/branches kissing balloon inflation or main branch /branch double stenting would be used when necessary.Results Among 26 cases of bifurcation branch occlusion,25 cases successfully completed the outer stent balloon,achieved a branch balloon expansion after reentry guidewire,saved blocked branches and the rate of success was 96.2%,and 6 cases of the main branch and the branch kissing balloon dilatation,2 cases of remedial double stenting.Following -up for 1 -12(5.3 ±6.8)months after operation in 25 cases of patients,there was no death and myocardial infarction and other adverse cardiovascular events.Conclusion Out-side stent balloon expansion technique can improve the success rate of coronary occlusion branch opening,and it have fewer complications and worth of clinical application becasuse of its satisfactory results.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of psychological intervention on anxiety, depression, and postoperative cardiovascular complications in adult patients with lung cancer. Methods96 patients (aged ≤55 years) with lung cancer and undergoing thoracic operation were divided into intervention and control groups. The control group was only given routine care advice and health education, while the intervention groups was combined with various psychological intervention before and after operation. All the patients were assessed with self-rating of anxiety and depression scale (SAS, SDS) and the blood pressure were measured at admission, 1 d before operation, 5 d after operation, and the heart were monitored pre- and post-operation. ResultsThe SAS, SDS score, and blood pressure were not statistically significant between two groups at admission, but significant 1 d before operation and 5 d after operation. The incidence of cardiovascular complications was significantly different after operation (P<0.05). ConclusionThe individual psychological intervention can reduce the anxiety and depression, stabilize blood pressure, and decrease the incidence of cardiovascular complications in adult lung cancer patients undergoing thoracic operation.

Purpose To explore the correlation between normal pancreas and abdominal aorta in the peak enhancement (PE) and the shift time at the peak by applying the multislices spiral CT perfusion imaging.Materials and Methods Prospectively analyzed 62 patients who received enhancement CT examination for the superior or the middle abdomen,underwent optimum level CT perfusion imaging after plain scanning.These data were processed on a Vitreal 2.0 worker-station by using Toshiba body software package.The time-density curves (TDC) of the normal pancreas and the abdominal aorta were drawn,the PE and the shift time of PE were recorded and their correlation was analyzed.Results Compared with abdominal aorta,the mean value of PE of the normal pancreas was lower,and the difference was statistically significant [(111.94± 14.42)HU vs (351.83 ± 74.93)HU,P＜0.05],the mean difference was (246.10± 65.86)HU.Compared with abdominal aorta,the mean shift times of PE of the normal pancreas was latter,and the difference was statistically significant [(37.56±6.90) s vs (30.82±6.73) s,P＜0.05],the mean difference was (6.54±2.97)s.The PE and shift time of PE of the normal pancreas were positively and linearly correlated with that of abdominal aorta (r=0.438,r=0.379).Conclusion The PE of the normal pancreas is not synchronous with that of the abdominal aorta.The shift time of the former is usually 6～8 seconds slower than that of the latter.This provides a basis to find the PE of the normal pancreas in enhanced scan.

Background and purpose: Primary liver cancer is the malignant tumor of liver cells or intrahepatic bile duct epithelium with familiar metastasis and postsurgical recurrence. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of miR-148a on the invasion and migration of hepatocellular carcinoma cells and the underlying mechanisms. Methods: The supernatant containing LV-miR-148a lentivirus particles was used to infect SMMC-7721 cells. The expression of miR-148a was determined by RT-PCR. Wound healing assay and transwell assay were performed to detect the effects of miR-148a on the invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Gelatin zymography assay was used to detect the effects of miR-148a on the enzyme activities of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9). The expression of MMP-2, MMP-9, E-cadherin and vimentin proteins was detected by Western blot assay. Results:RT-PCR showed the expression of miR-148a was upregulated in the infected SMMC-7721 cells. Transwell assay and wound healing assay showed ectopic expression of miR-148a suppressed cell migration and invasion abilities. miR-148a overexpression led to the decrease of the enzyme activities of MMP-2 and MMP-9 (P<0.05). Western blot assay showed that the protein expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and vimentin proteins was signiifcantly decreased, the expression of E-cadherin had no changes. Conclusion:miR-148a is able to inhibit the migration and invasion of human SMMC-7721 cells in vitro, and the possible mechanisms may be related to decrease the enzyme activities of the MMP-2 and MMP-9 and the down regulation expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and vimentin.

Objective To investigate the role of a transcription factor p 53 in dengue virus infec-tion.Methods A plasmid expressing siRNA specific for p 53 gene was constructed and then used to prepare HepG2 cell line with a suppressed expression of p 53 protein.The expression of p53 protein was detected by Western blot assay .A wild type control group and a siRNA group were set up by infecting wildtype HepG 2 cells and p53 low expressing HepG2 cells with type 2 dengue viruses,respectively.The virus titers in two dif-ferent cells were determined by plaque forming assay using Vero cells .Indirect immunofluorescence assay was performed to detect virus multiplication .The apoptosis of virus infected cells were analyzed by flow cytome-try.ELISA was performed to analyze the levels of IFN-βsecreted by infected cells from two groups .Results Compared with wildtype control group ,the cells in siRNA group showed a suppressed expression of p 53 pro-tein,suggesting that the HepG2 cell line with low p53 protein expression was successfully established .The vi-rus titer in supernatants of the cells from siRNA group was about 100-fold higher than that of wildtype control group at 24 hours after viral infection .Fluorescence activated cell sorting analysis showed that the numbers of green fluorescence labeled cells were remarkably increased in siRNA group .We speculated that p53 protein might play a role in the inhibition of dengue virus infection as indicated by the observed results .The numbers of apoptotic cells showed no significant difference between two groups .However,the level of IFN-βsecreted by wildtype HepG2 cells was six times higher than that of the cells in siRNA group .Conclusion p53 pro-tein might inhibit dengue virus infection through the activation of type Ⅰ interferon signaling pathway rather than enhance cell apoptosis .

Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic value of high-frequency ultrasonography (HFUS) in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) Achilles tendinopathy.Materials and Methods The Achilles tendon HFUS findings in 67 cases including a total of 93 feet were analyzed retrospectively,among which,11 cases including 22 feet were set as healthy control group (group A),36 cases including 40 feet as RA Achilles tendon group (group B) and 20 cases including 31 feet as non RA Achilles tendon group (group C).HFUS was used to observe the gray-scale imaging (GSI) and power Doppler imaging (PDI) features of the Achilles tendon:① the positive rate of Achilles tendon GSI abnormality.② The thickness and width of the starting point,mid point and ending point of Achilles tendon.③ The detection rate of retrocalcaneal bursal effusion.④ The detection rate of blood flow signal in the internal Achilles tendon.⑤ The level of blood flow signal.The data of each group were compared and analyzed.Restlts ① The positive rate of Achilles tendon GSI abnormality:there was no significant difference between group A and group B (x2=0.064,P＞0.05).Compared with group A and group B,group C had higher rate of abnormalities (x2=31.601 and 39.256,P＜0.05).② The thickness and width of Achilles tendon:the thickness of each point increased in group C than that in group A and group B (P＜0.05),and there was no significant difference in width between groups (P＞0.05).③ The detection rate of retrocalcaneal bursal effusion:negative in group A.The detection rate of group B (55％) was higher than that of group C (19.4％),the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).④ The detection rate of blood flow signal in the Achilles tendon:negative in group A.The detection rate of group B (97.5％) was higher than that of group C (45.2％),the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).⑤ The level of blood flow signal:level Ⅰ signal detection rate in group B (7.5％) was lower than that in group C (35.5％),while level Ⅱ signal detection rate in group B (35.0％) was higher than that of group C (9.7％),the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.05).Level Ⅲ signal was detected in only group B (45.0％) while not detected in group C.In addition,aspiration biopsy was performed on 3 patients of whom the fat pad of Achilles tendon was involved by level Ⅲ blood flow signal in PDI,and the pathological findings were consistent with ultrasonic manifestations.Conclusion HFUS is of great value in the diagnosis of RA Achilles tendinopathy and it can also be used to distinguish from non-RA Achilles tendinopathy.Moreover,it helps to achieve early diagnosis and early treatment in clinic to avoid Achilles tendon rupture and other bad progresses.

OBJECTIVES: After renal transplantation, patients need to take various immunosuppressant, but the drug compliance is poor. The theory of planned behavior suggests that the past medication behavior and subjective norms of individuals are closely related to medication compliance. This study aims to explore the change of medication compliance behavior and its influenting factors for renal transplantation patients at different stages. METHODS: This study was a prospective longitudinal study. The Basel Assessment of Adherence with Immunosuppressive Medication Scale (BAASIS), Medication Belief Scale, Social Support Scale and Quality of Life Scale were used to dynamically follow up renal transplantation patients at pre-operation and 1-month, 6-month, and 12-month after transplantation. RESULTS: A total of 300 patients completed the whole follow-up. The percentage of patients with good medication compliance was 97.60%, 87.30% and 84.30% at 1-month, 6-month and 12-month after transplantation respectively. The life quality of the patients was decreased at 6 months after the operation, and the patients with better self-reported life quality had poor medication compliance. After adjusting for demographic data, the risk of medication incompliance in patients with poor medication compliance before operation was 37.646 times than those with good compliance. Patients who did not use medication reminders had high risk (odds ratio=2.467) of drug non-adherence. The risk of drug non-adherence in patients with more postoperative misgivings was 1.265 times compared with that in patients with less postoperative misgivings. CONCLUSIONS The medication compliance decreases with the time of transplantation, but the medication compliance of patients with good self-reported life quality is poor. Medication concerns reduce the compliance behavior. Preoperative medication behavior has a significant predictive effect on postoperative behavior. Medication reminder is a protective factor for promoting compliance. Medical staff should pay more attention to preoperative medication belief, behaviors and reminder of using drug so as to provide precise intervention in the renal transplantation patients.
