Objective To investigate the curative effect of benidipine hydrochloride on patients with coronary slow flow angina pectoris(CSFA).Methods Sixty cases patients with CSFA were randomly divided into two groups of 30 patients each.In the control group patients were received aspirin(100 mg,1 times/d) and atorvastatin(20 mg,1 times/d) as basic treatment;in the treatment group patients were received basic treatment plus benidipine hydrochloride(4 mg,1 times/d).Follow up for 6 mouths,the effectiveness rate of treatment(relief of angina and electrocardiogram of myocardial ischemia),the correction of thrombolysis in myocardial infarction(TIMI) frame count(CTFC) before and after the different intervention,and the incidence of adverse cardiovascular events were compared between the treatment group and the control group.Results The effectiveness rate of treatment in the treatment group(86.7%,26/30) was significantly higher than that in the control group(63.3%(19/30);χ2=4.356,P=0.037).There were significant reductions of CTFC in both groups after the different intervention(treatment group:(28.43±3.95) frames vs.(18.40±3.73) frames,t=10.254,P=0.000;control group:(27.87±4.14) frames vs.(21.87±4.17) frames,t=5.580,P=0.000).There was more significant reductions of CTFC in the treatment group as compared to the control group(t=2.138,P=0.037).The incidence of adverse cardiovascular events in the treatment group(10.0%(3/30)) was significantly lower than that in the control group(33.3%(10/30),P=0.028).Conclusion Benidipine hydrochloride is effective in the treatment of CSFA.

ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between the expression of VEGF and the lymph node metastasis of colorectal carcinoma.MethodsVEGF was detected by immunohistochemistry in 24 cases of colorectal carcinoma with lymph node metastasis and 16 case of colorectal carcinoma without lymph node metastasis.CD34 was used as a marker to evaluate the MVD.All the data were analyzed using 10.1 statistical package.The comparison was performed by x2 test and Spearman rank correlation analysis.The level of significance is α =0.05.Resultsin the 40 cases of colorectal carcinoma,24 cases encountered lymph node metastasis with an MVD (40.65 ± 11.80) and 21 cases were VEGF positive (87.5％).In the 16 cases without metastasis,the MVD was (25.02 ± 11.52) and 4 cases were VEGF positive (25.0％).MVD and VEGF were significantly different between thecases with lymph node metastasis and those without (t =-4.138,x2 =16.00,P ＜0.01 ).In the 40 cases,there were 25 cases with positive VEGF with an MVD (41.33 ± 11.61 ) and 15 cases with negative VEGF with and MVD (22.84 ±8.88).The difference between the cases with positive VEGF and those with negative VEGF (t =5.301,P ＜0.05 ).VEGF level was positive correlated with MVD in the colon cancer ( rs =0.539,P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion VEGF may play a role in promoting the lymph node metastasis of colorectal carcinoma

Objective:To investigate whether interferon-gamma inducible protein-10(IP-10) and interferon-gamma(IFN-?) participated in the human cerebral ischemia injury.Methods:Twenty-one cerebral ischemia specimens, collected from patients died of cerebral infarction, were divided into three groups: less than 7 days, 7-14 days and 15-21 days according to the lasting time of cerebral infarction. The infiltrating of inflammatory cells were observed using HE stain as non-ischemic hemisphere was for controls. Expression of IP-10 and IFN-? in sections both postmortem ischemic hemisphere and non-ischemic hemisphere were detected using immunohistochemistry.Results:In the groups of less than 7 days and 7-14 days large quantity of inflammatory cells were infiltrated in ischemia tissue. Expression of IP-10 in three groups was elevated in the ischemic hemisphere compared with non-ischemic hemisphere(1.74-folds, 1.41-folds and 1.52-folds increases respectively, P0.05).Conclusion:These results showed IP-10 and IFN-? are expressed in human cerebral ischemia. It was suggested that IP-10 and IFN-? involve in cerebral ischemia injury. Moreover, it was also suggested that IP-10 participate in the repair for the later stage of cerebral ischemia injury.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical outcome of the reconstruction of finger-pulp defects, using modified dorsal digital fasciocutaneous flap.Methods:Between June 2018 and March 2019, 14 patients with finger-pulp defects were admitted to the Department of Hand and Foot Surgery. There were 14 males and 2 females, aged from 27 to 63 years, with the mean age of 49 years. The defect areas of finger pulp were 1.6 cm × 1.4 cm-2.5 cm × 1.6 cm. All of the finger-pulp defects were treated by the modified dorsal digital fasciocutaneous flap and the inverted L-shaped incision was made at the distal part of the pedicle. The defects at donor sites were reconstructed with full-thickness skin grafts harvested from the forearm. Viability of the flap was recorded postoperatively. At the last follow-up, aesthetics, sensibility of the flap and hand performance were assessed.Results:All of the 14 flaps survived successfully, the areas were 1.8 cm×1.6 cm-2.7 cm×1.8 cm. Partial distal blister occurred on the flap in only one case, which was solved by aspiration without surgical intervention. All cases acquired follow-up visits for 5 to 12 months with a mean time of 8.9 months. The texture of flaps was similar to surrounding skin and the shape of reconstructed finger pulp was satisfactory. According to the assessment of total active movement, the results were excellent in 9 fingers, good in 5 fingers. The 2-point discrimination of flap was 8 to 11 mm (mean, 9.9 mm).Conclusions:It is an effective and simple method for the reconstruction of finger-pulp defects using modified dorsal digital fasciocutaneous flap. The clinical effectiveness is definite.
