Objective To study the blood pressure and cardiovascular conditions in kidney transplant recipients in order to prevent the cardiovascular complications in such patients. Methods The blood pressure and ECG were monitored day and night by noninvasive means for 86 patients after transplantation.The results were analysed and compared with the pretransplantation studies. Results Hypertension occurred in 55 out of 86 patients.There was a significant difference of average blood pressure and the occurrence of abnormal ST segment or T wave between day and night whereas no significant change was observed in blood CsA concentration,blood creatinine,serum cholesterol,blood sugar,triglyceride and K+,N+,Cl-,TCO 2,Ca 2+ ,etc. Conclusions Cardiovascular complications in kidney transplant recipients is related to the high blood pressure during night,the normal day-night blood pressure rhythm being violated.It is not related to the immunosuppresives used.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effects of intra arterial thrombolytic therapy for acute ischemic cerebral infarction and analize the factors influencing the clinical prognosis. Methods 32 patients were treated with intra arterial thrombolysis using urokinase(median dose, 65?10 4 U) within 2～20 hours, after the onset. The patient's condition was assessed by neurologists using National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS) score right at the admission. Clinical outcome was assessed after 3 months and graded as good for Modified Rankin Scale(MRS) scores of 0 to 3 and poor for MRS scores of 4 or 5 and death. Results Follow up cerebral angiography of 14 cases treated within 6 hours after onset showed complete/partial recanalization in 13 cases. Other 18 patients whose treatment started beyond 6 hours after onset outcame with complete/partial in 7. 20(62.5%) of the 32 patients had good outcome, 12(37.5%) had poor outcome and two patients(9.4%) died. Cerebral hemorrhage occurred in 2 of the 32 patients. Good outcome was associated with an initial NIHSS score of

Objective To analyze the HLA - DRB1 gene polymorphism and the hereditary association with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortions(URSA)in a population of Tujia and Han nationality from west part of Hunan province in China. Methods The alleles at the HLA-DRB1 typing were analyzed by polymerase chain reac-tion-sequence specific primers (PCR-SSP) in 76 URSA Tujia population and 68 URSA Han population and 82 healthy Tujia population and 75 healthy Han population. Results ①DRB1*04 frequency of URSA in Tujia and Han population was strikingly higher than that of the healthy Tujia and Han population(RR>1,Pc <0.01),but the DRB1*12 frequency was strikingly lower than that of the healthy Tujia and Han population respectively(RR<1,Pc <0.01). ②DRB1*07 frequency of URSA in Tujia population was strikingly higher than that of the URSA in Han population (18.08% : 5.28%, Pc<0.01). Conclusion HLA-DRB1*04 maybe predisposing genes of URSA in Tujia and Han population,and HLA-DRB1*12 maybe associated with an antagonist effect in the pathogenesis of UR-SA in this population.

Objective To study the architecture of the subpleural pulmonary microvasculature and its functional relationship in the bactrian camel. Methods The replica scanning electron microscopic method was used. Results According to their continuous branches,the subpleural pulmonary microvasculatures were recognized into four grades: arteriole,terminal arteriole,precapillary arteriole and capillary.The subpleural pulmonary capillaries generally came from the subpleural precapillary arteriole and communicated each other to form the subpleural pulmonary capillary network.Sometimes,the subpleural terminal arteriole directly gave rise to capillaries to unite with the subpleural pulmonary capillary network.The network was loose,in which the diameter of the mesh was larger than that of the capillary,and the mesh was often hexagon and pentagon in appearance.There were obvious imprints of the smooth muscles on the surface of the casts of the subpleural pulmonary arteriole,the terminal arteriole and the precapillary arteriole.On the surface of the casts of the subpleural pulmonary capillary,there were obvious imprints of the endothelial nuclei as well.In addition,the broad and different level communications were found among the pulmonary interstitial capillary and subpleural pulmonary microvasculature.Conclusion There were no significant differences on the architecture of the subpleural pulmonary microvasculature between the bactrian camel and other kind of mammals.

Objective To observe the incidence of fragmented QRS complex (fQRS)and ST Segment depression fQRS (STD fQRS)during the first 48 hours after non-ST elevation myocardial infarction(NSTE MI)and discuss the value of predicting mortality in patients with NSTE MI .Methods Based on the ECGs ,the patients with NSTE MI were divided into two groups :fQRS and non fQRS group .And then fQRS group was divided into two sub-groups :STD fQRS and non-STD fQRS group .Their mortality was studied during long-term follow-up .Results (1)731 patients with NSTE ACS [the NSTE MI group(n=609) and the UA group(n=122)] were studied .The incidence of fQRS in the NSTE MI group was higher than that of the UA group .(2)All cause mortality in the fQRS group were higher than that in the non-fQRS group ,and all-cause mortality in the STD fQRS group were higher than that in the non-STD fQRS group ,all the above results were not only in the early stages of NSTE MI ,but also in the long term fol-low-up .(3) Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that STD fQRS was an independent significant predictor for all cause mortality ,but not of the fQRS .Conclusion The STD fQRS may be an independent predictor of mortality in patients with NSTE MI .

Objective To analyse the symptoms in discogenic low back pain and their neurological anatomic mechanism,and to explore the theoretical basis of symptomatic diagnosis of discogenic low back pain.Methods From January 2010 to December 2013, 289 patients were primarily diagnosed as discogenic discogenic low pain in our department, of which 164 patients showing only single abnormal segment on MRI were enrolled, including 99 male and 65 female patients, averaging 42 years old.All patients underwent discography.All the symptoms conform to the neurological anatomic mechanism of lumbar disc, i.e.extensive low back pain, posterior ilium pain, lateral thigh pain, groin pain, low abdomen pain, were recorded postoperatively.Then the occurrence rate of each symptom with positive discography was calculated.The positive rate (equal to sensitivity of the symptom to the diagnosis of discogenic low pain) of discography when each symptom occurred and the negative rate (equal to specificity of the diagnosis of the symptom to the discogenic low pain) of discography when each symptom did not occur were calculated respectively.Results The discographies of 129 (78.7％) in 164 patients were positive, of these patients 95 (73.6％) had the symptom of extensive low back pain, 99 (76.7％) had posterior ilium pain, 58 (45.0％) had lateral thigh pain, 29 (22.3％) had groin pain, and 24(18.6％) had low abdomen pain.The positive rate of discography in those with the symptom of extensive low back pain, posterior ilium pain, lateral thigh pain, groin pain and low abdomen pain was 89.6％, 90.8％, 90.6％, 90.6％ and 92.3％ respectively, i.e.the diagnostic sensitivity to the discogenic low back pain of the symptom of extensive low back pain, posterior ilium pain, lateral thigh pain, groin pain and low abdomen pain was 89.6％, 90.8％, 90.6％, 90.6％ and 92.3％ respectively.Conclusion The occurrence of the above-mentioned symptoms in the discogenic low back pain is conform to the neurological anatomic mechanism of efferent nerve of lumbar disc.These symptoms have great diagnostic significance for discogenic low back pain.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To investigate the antipyretic effect of patchouli oil on lipopolysaccharide ( LPS)-induced fe-ver in rabbits.METHODS:Male rabbits (n=42) were randomly divided into 7 groups according to their body weight and basal body temperature, including control group, model group, western medical positive group, traditional Chinese medical positive group, and high, middle and low doses (2%, 1%and 0.5%) of patchouli oil groups.Subsequently, except the controls, the rabbits were injected with LPS at a dose of 1 mL/kg (2 mg/L) through marginal ear vein to establish rabbit fever model and the rabbits in control group received the same volume of NS.The rabbits in control group and model group were injected with 0.5%Tween-80 0.5 h late, and the rabbits in the other groups were treated with correspoonding drugs. The effect of patchouli oil on the body temperature was observed, and the levels of interleukin-1β( IL-1β) and tumor nec-rosis factor-α(TNF-α) in the serum, and prostaglandin E2(PGE2) and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in the hypothalamus were measured by radioimmunoassay.RESULTS: The body temperature and the levels of IL-1β, TNF-α, cAMP and PGE2 in model group were significant higher than those in control group.Patchouli oil notably inhibited the body temperature in the febrile rabbits.From 1.5 h to 5.5 h after administration, the body temperatures were increased by (1.06 ±1.55), (1.62 ±1.36), (1.38 ±1.22), (0.98 ±0.98) and (0.48 ±0.95) ℃in high patchouli oil group, re-spectively.From 3.5 to 5.5 h after administration, the body temperatures were elevated by ( 1.47 ±0.73 ) , ( 1.15 ± 0.68) and (0.63 ±0.54) ℃ in middle patchouli oil group, respectively.A tendency of downregulation of the elevated body temperatures was observed at every time point after administration in low patchouli oil group.Patchouli oil significantly decreased the levels of TNF-αin the serum and cAMP content in the hypothalamus, and attenuated the elevated tendency of the IL-1βlevel in the serum and PGE2 level in the hypothalamus.CONCLUSION:Patchouli oil evidently has antipyretic effect on LPS-induced fever in the rabbits.The antipyretic mechanism might be related to the inhibition of TNF-αlevel in serum and cAMP content in the hypothalamus.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Houpu Paiqi mixture in treatment of functional dyspepsia (FD)with abdominal distension symptom.Methods From July 2014 to June 2015 , in nine centers,a total of 162 FD patients with abdominal distension symptom and met Rome Ⅲpostprandial distress syndrome (PDS)diagnostic criteria were enrolled.All patients were randomly divided into trial group and control group,81 patients in either group.The patients of trial group and control group took Houpu Paiqi mixture or placebo,respectively,25 mL per time,twice daily,and both the courses of treatment were two weeks.Before and after the treatment,the improvement of main symptoms,total clinical efficacy rate and efficacy of traditional medicine between two groups were compared.Chi square test,Fisher exact probability method and Wilcoxon test were performed for statistical analysis.Results According to the results of per-protocol (PP)analysis,the total efficacy rate of trial group and control group was 69.4% (50/72)and 59.2% (42/71),respectively,and there was no statistically significant difference in total efficacy rate between the two groups (χ2 =1 .650,P =0.199 ). And there was no statistically significant difference in the improvement of PDS main symptoms(postprandial fullnessand early satiety)between the two groups (56.3% ±27.9% vs 54.4% ±32.1%,t =0.606,P =0.727 ).For those with baseline symptom score over 14,median early satiety score of trial group after the treatment was 0,which was lower than that of control group,and the difference was statistically significant (Z =-2.370,P =0.018).The total efficacy rate of traditional medicine of trial group was 80.8% (59/73 )and that of control group was 72.0% (54/75 ),and the difference was not statistically significant (χ2 = 0.676,P =0.411 ).Conclusion Houpu Paiqi mixture has certain efficacy in FD with abdominal distension,and could be used for the treatment of PDS-predominant FD.

Objective:To explore the mediating role of kinesiophobia in the relationship between illness perception and cardiac rehabilitation willingness among patients with coronary heart disease.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 255 patients with coronary heart disease who were admitted to Cardiovascular Department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from June to September 2022 were selected as the research objects. The survey was conducted using a general information questionnaire, Chinese version of the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia Heart (TSK-Heart-C) , Heart Rehabilitation Scale and Chinese version of Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire.Results:The total score of TSK-Heart-C in 255 patients with coronary heart disease was (38.53±9.27) , the total score of Heart Rehabilitation Scale was (49.90±12.53) , and the total score of Chinese version of Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire was (53.04±15.90) . Disease perception had a direct effect on heart rehabilitation willingness (β=-0.378, P<0.01) , kinesiophobia played a mediating role between illness perception and heart rehabilitation willingness (β=-0.254, P<0.01) , and the mediating effect accounted for 40.19% of the total effect. Conclusions:Kinesiophobia is a mediating variable between cardiac rehabilitation willingness and illness perception. Medical staff should pay attention to the level of kinesiophobia in patients with coronary heart disease, provide correct health education, improve patients' correct understanding and compliance with the disease, take correct cardiac rehabilitation measures and effectively improve quality of life of patients.
