[Objective] To expound the diagnosis and treatment of chronic heart failure by tranditional Chinese and western medicine, to make the syndrome differentiation and treatment more accurate and the efficacy better. [Method] The progression of chronic heart failure can be divided into four stages, to combine the tranditional Chinese and western medicine to use the traditional Chinese theory to treat the four stages. [Result] Pre-heart failure and pre-clinical heart failure most belong to Qi deficiency of heart and lung syndrome, deficiencies of Qi and Yin syndrome; Clinical heart failure belongs to Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome, turbid-phlegm and water-rheum collecting internally syndrome; refractory end-stage heart failure belongs to heart-kidney Yang deficiency and water flooding syndrome, spleen-kidney Yang deficiency and endogenous turbid-phlegm syndrome, even depletion of Yin and Yang syndrome.[Conclusion] The pattern of diagnosis and treatment of combind tranditional Chinese and western medicine is the result of the development of modern medicine which contributes to the diagnosis of tradition Chinese medicine. This paper expounds the syndrome differentiation and treatment based on the western medical staging to make the syndrome differentiation and treatment accuracy and the curative effect better.

Objective - To analyze the relation between classes and prognosis of the brain.stem hemorrhage.Methods 37 patients with spontaneous brainstem hemorrhage were divided into three groups according to con-sciousness and breathing function: Ⅰ group 13 cases with consciousness; Ⅱ group 11 cases without consciousness; Ⅲgroup 13 cases without consciousness and respiration, according to the classes, using different ways and means. Re-suits Ⅰ group 13 cases survival in 13 cases; Ⅱ group 10 cases survival and 1 case death in 11 cases; Ⅲ group 1 case survival and 12 cases death in 13 eases. Conclusion The classes of the brain.stem hemorrhage is propitious to select therapeutic measure and prognostic estimate. The intensive care and the surgery can reduce mortality rate.

Objective To evaluate the role of C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 ( CXCR4) in the dorsal root ganglia ( DRG) in incisional pain in rats. Methods Thirty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 7-10 weeks, weighing 250-300 g, in which intrathecal catheters were successfully implanted, were divided into 4 groups (n＝8 each) using a random number table method: sham operation group (group S), CXCR4 antagonist AMD3100 plus sham operation group (group A+S), incisional pain group (group I) and CXCR4 antagonist AMD3100 plus incisional pain group (group A+I). Rats were anesthetized with sevoflu-rane. AMD3100 20 μg (in 10 μl of normal saline) was intrathecally injected, and no incision was made 30 min later in group A+S. A 1-cm longitudinal incision was made through skin, fascia and muscle of the plantar aspect of the left hindpaw in group I. AMD3100 20 μg (in 10 μl of normal saline) was intrathecally injected, and 30 min later the model of incisional pain was established in group A+I. The mechanical paw withdrawal threshold ( MWT) and thermal paw withdrawal latency ( TWL) were measured at 24 h before surgery and 2, 4, 8, 16 and 24 h after surgery. The rats were sacrificed after the last measurement of pain threshold and the DRGs of the lumbar segment (L4-6) were removed for detecting the expression of CXCR4, phosphorylated extracellular regulated protein kinase ( p-ERK) and total ERK ( t-ERK) by Western blot. Results Compared with group S, MWT was significantly decreased and TWL was shortened at T1-5in group I and group A+I, and the expression of CXCR4 and p-ERK in DRGs was significantly up-regulated (P＜0. 05), and no significant change was found in the expression of t-ERK in group I, no significant change was found in the expression of CXCR4, p-ERK and t-ERK in group A+I, and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group A+S (P＞0. 05). Compared with group I, MWT was significantly increased and TWL was prolonged at T1-5, the expression of CXCR4 and p-ERK in DRGs was down-regulated (P＜0. 05), and no significant change was found in the expression of t-ERK in group A+I (P＞0. 05). Conclusion CXCR4 in DRGs is involved in incisional pain, and the mechanism may be re-lated to activating ERK1∕2 signaling pathway in rats.

Diabetes has long been considered a risk factor in implant therapy and impaired wound healing in soft and hard oral tissues.Magnesium has been proved to promote bone healing under normal conditions.Here,we elucidate the mechanism by which Mg2+ promotes angiogenesis and osseointegration in diabetic status.We generated a diabetic mice model and demonstrated the alveolar bone healing was compromised,with significantly decreased angiogenesis.We then developed Mg-coating implants with hydrothermal synthesis.These implants successfully improved the vascularization and osseointegration in diabetic status.Mechanically,Mg2+ promoted the degradation of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1(Keap1)and the nucleation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2)by up-regulating the expression of sestrin 2(SESN2)in endothelial cells,thus reducing the elevated levels of oxidative stress in mitochondria and relieving endothelial cell dysfunction under hyperglycemia.Altogether,our data suggested that Mg2+ promoted angiogenesis and osseointegration in diabetic mice by regulating endothelial mitochondrial metabolism.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of Pitt bacteremia score (PBS) on 28-day mortality of patients with extensively drug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (XDR-KP) bloodstream infection.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with XDR-KP bloodstream infection admitted to the Emergency Intensive Care Unit of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from January, 2018, to December, 2021. The patients were divided into the survival and non-survival groups according to the 28-day survival. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the risk factors of 28-day mortality of the patients. Receiver operating curve (ROC) curve was drawn to analyze the predictive value of PBS in 28-day mortality of patients with XDR-KP bloodstream infection. The correlations between PBS, and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II) and sequential organ failure (SOFA) assessment were performed using Pearson correlation coefficient. The optimal cut-off value of PBS score was used as the boundary point to group the differences between APACHE II and SOFA scores in different groups. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the prognosis of patients with XDR-KP bloodstream infection.Results:A total of 118 patients (82 males and 36 females) with XDR-KP bloodstream infection, aged (65.98±15.16) years, were included in this study. The 28-day mortality was 61.02%. The PBS was significant higher in the non-survival group than in the survival group [(5.68±1.86) vs. (2.48±1.02), P=0.011]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that PBS ( OR=4.940, 95% CI: 2.720-8.968, P=0.008), APACHE II score ( OR=1.630, 95% CI: 1.361-1.952, P=0.010) and SOFA score ( OR=1.879, 95% CI: 1.451-2.422, P=0.009) were independently risk factors of 28-day mortality of patients with XDR-KP bloodstream infection. The area under the ROC curve of the PBS predicting 28-day mortality was 0.970 (95% CI: 0.945-0.995, P<0.001), and the optimal cut-of value was 3.5. In addition, PBS was significantly associated with APACHE II score ( r=0.916, P<0.001) and SOFA score ( r=0.829, P<0.001). Moreover, Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the 28-day survival rate of patients with PBS <3.5 was significantly higher than that of patients with PBS >3.5 ( P=0.001). Conclusions:PBS is a significant, independent predictor of 28-day mortality in patients with XDR-KP bloodstream infection.
