OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects and safety of Compound xuelian burning wound ointment in the treatment ofⅡdegree deep burn. METHODS:Using consubstantial control method,2 burn wounds(Ⅱdegree deep burn,about 10 cm×10 cm) selected from symmetric or adjacent part of extremities in 80 patients withⅡdegree deep burn were divided into treatment area and control area. Treatment area was given Compound xuelian burning wound ointment,and control area was given Sulfadiazine silver cream. Healing time,degree of pain due to dressing change,the amount of infiltration liquid,wound infection rate,the incidence of scar formation and the incidence of ADR were observed. RESULTS:The healing time of wound in treatment area was signifi-cantly shorter than in control group [(18.7±3.6)d vs.(23.8±3.1)d],with statistical significance(P<0.05). During treatment,the proportion of patients suffering from acute pain and severe pain due to dressing change in treatment area,the amount of infiltration liquid and the incidence of scar formation were significantly lower or less than in control area;the proportion of patients suffering from mild pain due to dressing change in treatment area was significantly higher than in control area,with statistical significance (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the proportion of patients suffering from moderate pain and indolence due to dressing change,the incidence of wound infection between treatment area and control area(P>0.05). No obvious ADR was found in 80 patients. CONCLUSIONS:Compound xuelian burning wound ointment in the treatment of Ⅱdegree deep burn can relieve the degree of pain due to dressing change,control the amount of infiltration liquid,promote wound healing and reduce the occurrence of scar with good safety.

Objective To evaluate the value of interventional therapy in treatment of iliac compression syndrome (ICS) and subsequent venous thrombosis. Methods Examined by DSA, 125 cases were diagnosed of iliac vein compression and subsequent thrombosis. In 39 cases of ICS ( group 1 ), left: right = 4.6: 1. In 86 cases of ICS complicated with subsequent thrombosis (group 2), left: right = 4.7: 1. The patients of iliac vein compression and compression-related iliac vein stenosis or occlusion without fresh thrombus were treated by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and self-expandable stenting. In those cases with fresh thrombosis the inferior vena cava filter were inserted before thrombosis suction, mechanical thrombus ablation, PTA, stenting and transcatheter thrombolysis. The Chi-square test for comparison of proportions was used to test statistical significance. Results In 39 cases of ICS, 38 cases were treated by PTA and stenting. In 86 cases of deep vein thrombosis complicated with ICS, 83 cases were treated by various interventional therapy. There was no significant difference in the efficiency of intraluminal treatment between the two groups at discharge (97.4% and 96.5%, X2 =0.000,P >0.05) and at 6 months follow-up(96.3% and 90.2%, X2 = 0.266, P > 0.05 ), the difference in excellent-good rate of the two groups was significant at discharge (94.9% and 79.1%, X2=3.879, P <0.05) and at 6 months follow-up (92.6% and 68.6% ,X2 =4.441,P <0.05). Conclusions Interventioual treatment for ICS and secondary thrombosis is safe and effective.

Objective To compare the effects of higher dosage of atorvastatin alone and combination of lower dosage of atorvastatin with ezetimibe on levels of lipid and metalloproteinases in patients with coronary artery disease. Methods Forty-two patients with coronary artery stenosis (50% to 70% stenosis) without stent replacement were selected, and were randomly divided into atorvastatin group (treated with 20 mg or 40 mg atorvastatin alone, n = 19) and combined-therapy group(treated with 5 mg, 10 mg atorvastatin and 10 mg ezetimibe, n =23). The levels of serum lipid, hepatic and renal functions, creatine kinase, metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, MMP-9 and tissue inhibitor of MMP-1 (TIMP-1) were detected 12 weeks after treatment. Results Twelve weeks after treatment, the level of LDL-C in atorvastain group was (1.94 ± 0.49) mmol/L (37.82% decrease from baseline), and that in combined-therapy group was (1.92 ±0.54) mmol/L(38. 26% decrease from baseline), and there was no significant difference between these two groups (P >0.05). Twelve weeks after treatment, the levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were significantly decreased and that of TIMP-1 was significantly increased compared with baseline levels in atorvastatin, while no such changes were detected in combined-therapy group. Conclusion In patients with coronary artery stenosis, combined therapy with lower dosage of atorvastatin and ezetimibe may lead to the same lipid-lowing effects compared with therapy with higher dosage of atorvastatin, but it may not result in a significant reduction in serum levels of MMP-2, MMP-9 and increase of TIMP-1.

Thirty seven patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) were divided into cilazapril group (n=19) and general treatment group (n=18). Serum levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) ,interleukin-8 (IL-8) , interleukin-10(IL-10) and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) , left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ,left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), cardiac output (CO) and fractional shortening (FS) were measured before and after treatment. Serum levels of cytokines were also measured in 40 healthy individuals (control group). Results: The serum levels of IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and TNF-α in CHF patients were significantly higher than those in the control group ( all P<0.01 ) ; After treatment, the serum IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α were significantly decreased (P<0.01 ,P<0.05 ) in the cilazapril group. The LVEF, FS, CO were significantly increased in the Cilazapril group ( P<0.01 ) ; And the serum levels of IL-6 were significantly decreased in the cilazapril group as compared with the general treatment group ( P<0.05 ), however, after treatment, the EF, LVEF, FS and CO had no statistical differences in the cilazapril group as compared with the general treatment group. In the control group only LVEF and FS improved(P<0.01) ; Cytokine levels showed no changes. It suggests that cilazapril can reduce the serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, increased the serum levels of anti-inflammatory cytokine, protect and improved cardiac function in the patients with congestive heart failure.
