ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of remifentanil on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats with liver cirrhosis.MethodsThirty male SD rats weighing 260-300 g were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =10 each):group liver cirrhosis (group C); group liver cirrhosis + hepatic I/R (group I/R) and group remifentanil (group R).Liver cirrhosis was produced in all animals in the 3 goups.I/R injury was induced by 20 min occlusion of the hepatic artery and portal vein entering the middle and left lobes of the liver followed by 4 h reperfusion at 1 week after establishment of hepatic cirrhosis in I/R and R groups.In group R remifentanil was infused iv at 1 μg·kg-1 ·min-1 starting from 10 min before ischemia until the end of 4 h reperfusion.Venous blood samples were taken from inferior vena cava at the end of 4 h reperfusion for measurement of serum ALT and AST activities.The animals were then sacrificed and liver specimens were taken from middle lobe for determination of Bcl-2 and Bax expression (by immuno-histochemistry) and hepatocyte apoptosis (by TUNEL) and microscopic examination.Apoptosis index (percentage of apoptotic cells) was calculated.ResultsI/R significantly increased serum ALT and AST activities,Bax expression and apoptosis index and decreased Bcl-2 expression in group I/R as compared with group C.Remifentanil significantly attenuated the I/R-induced changes in serum ALT and AST activities,Bax and Bcl-2 expression and apoptosis in group R as compared with group I/R.Remifentanil also ameliorated I/R-induced liver damage.ConclusionRemifentanil can auenuate hepatic I/R injury in rats with liver cirrhosis by up-regulating Bcl-2 expression and down-regulating Bax expression and inhibiting apoptosis.

Objective To observe and explore clinical efficacy ofTianma-Gouteng decoction combined valsartan in the treatment of patients with renal hypertension and its effects on renal function. Methods A total of 130 patients with renal hypertension were enrolled and randomly divided into a study group (68 patients) and a control group (62 patients). Both groups were given prescription of lower sodium diet, exercising and enalaprilscheme. On this basis, the control group plus valsartan, and the study group was further added withTianma-Gouteng decoction. After 2 courses treatment, renal function, and blood pressure of both groups were compared, and clinical efficacy on blood pressure were evaluated.Results After treatment, the SBP (126.8 ± 9.1 mmHg vs. 134.1 ± 8.8 mmHg,t=4.648), DBP (82.4± 5.0 mmHgvs. 85.3 ± 5.4 mmHg, t=3.167), Scr (148.5 ± 46.3μmol/Lvs. 172.1 ± 52.0μmol/L, t=2.723), BUN (8.3 ± 2.7 mmol/Lvs. 9.7 ± 3.1 mmol/L,t=2.734) and 24hAlb (1.7 ± 0.6 gvs. 1.9 ± 0.7 g,t=2.209) in the study group were significantly lower than control group (P<0.05 orP<0.01). The total effective rate in the study group was significantly increased than that in the control group (91.2%vs. 79.0%;χ2=0.383,P=0.050).Conclusion Valsartan combined with Tianma-Gouteng decocntion can reduce blood pressure, and alleviate the kidney damage effectively.

Strokes due to atrial fibrillation (AF) are common and frequently devastating.While oral anticoagulant agents are the mainstay in the prevention of embolic events,they have several limitations and not all patients can tolerate them long term.The left atrial appendage (LAA) has been identified as the source of thrombus formation in nonvalvular AF.Several LAA closure devices have been developed,they have been successful in stroke prevention in patients with nonvalvular AF and fewer periprocedural complications.This article reviews the application of percutaneous left atrial appendage closure for stroke prevention in patients with nonvalvular AF.

Objective To evaluate the role of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) in hepatocytes in reduction of hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury by limb ischemic postconditioning in rats.Methods Forty-eight healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 240-280 g,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =12 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group S);I/R group;limb ischemic postconditioning group (group LIPC);limb ischemic postconditioning and atractyloside group (group LIPC + APC).In I/R,LIPC and LIPC + APC groups,I/R injury was induced by 30 min occlusion of the hepatic artery and portal vein entering the left and middle lobes of the liver,followed by 120 min of reperfusion.The animals underwent 10 min of bilateral limb ischemia starting from 20 min after liver ischemia in group LIPC.In group LIPC+APC,the animals underwent 10 min of bilateral limb ischemia starting from 20 min after liver ischemia,and atractyloside 5 mg/kg was infused simultaneously via the penile vein.Blood samples were collected from inferior vena cava at the end of reperfusion to detect plasma aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activities.The rats were sacrificed,and the left lobe of the liver was removed to detect the degree of mPTP opening and to examine the ultrastructure of hepatocytes under electron microscope.Results Compared with group S,the plasma ALT and AST activities and degree of mPTP opening were significantly increased,and the damage to the ultrastructure of hepatocytes was obvious in the other three groups.Compared with group I/R,the plasma ALT and AST activities and degree of mPTP opening were significantly decreased,and the damage to the ultrastructure of hepatocytes was reduced in LIPC and LIPC + APC groups.Compared with group LIPC,the plasma ALT and AST activities and degree of mPTP opening were significantly increased in group LIPC+APC.Conclusion Limb ischemic postconditioning reduces hepatic I/R injury through inhibiting mPTP opening in hepatocytes of rats.

Objective To evaluate the improvement of lower urinary tract symptoms in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients with bladder calculi by lithotripsy and adjuvant traditional Chinese decoction. Methods A total of 72 BPH patients with bladder calculi were recruited and randomly divided into the non-adjuvant treatment group (37 patients) and the adjuvant treatment group (35 patients). The adjuvant treatment group received adjuvant traditional Chinese decoction from 2 days before lithotripsy for 2 weeks. The maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax) , residual urine volume (RU), International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and Quality of Life (QOL) were assessed before and after the treatment. The time of urine routine returned to normal and the indwelling time of catheter were compared between two groups. Urinary incontinence and recurrent bladder calculi were followed up for 6 months. Results After the treatment, the score of the IPSS (12.9 ± 4.5 vs. 15.7 ± 3.9;t=2.826, P=0.006) and the RU (47.3 ± 9.2 ml vs. 58.4 ± 11.3 ml;t=4.556, P<0.001) in the adjuvant treatment group were significantly lower than those in the non-adjuvant treatment group, and the Qmax (30.4 ± 4.7 ml/s vs. 21.4 ± 3.9 ml/s;t=8.862, P<0.001 ) was significantly higher. The indwelling time of catheter (5.7 ± 2.1 d vs. 8.1 ± 2.2d;t=4.730, P<0.001) and the time of urine routine returned to normal (6.9 ± 2.3 d vs. 10.2 ± 3.1 d;t=5.106, P<0.001) in the adjuvant treatment group were significantly shorter than those in the non-adjuvant treatment group. The 6-month follow-up showed that the incidence of urinary incontinence (2.9% vs. 18.9%;χ2=4.698, P=0.030) and recurrent bladder calculi (5.7% vs. 24.3%;χ2=4.813, P=0.028) in the adjuvant treatment group were significantly shorter than those in the non-adjuvant treatment group, and the total effective rate was significantly higher (62.9%vs. 29.7%; χ2=6.672, P=0.011). Conclusions Lithotripsy and adjuvant traditional Chinese decoction can reduce the IPSS score and RU, increase Qmax, decrease urinary incontinence and recurrent bladder calculi, and improve lower urinary tract symptoms in BPH patients with bladder calculi.

Objective: To analyze the clinical efficacy and safety of thalidomide combined with conventional chemotherapy in treatment of acute leukemia by using Meta analysis. Methods: Thalidomide combined with conventional chemotherapy was treated as the experiment group, chemotherapy alone was treated as the control group. Thalidomide was taken 100mg once a day, oral administration. The literatures were retrieved from PubMed, Cochrane library, Embase, China Notional Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI),Wanfang and VIP database. The data of the randomized controlled trial (RCT) conformed to inclusion criteria were extracted, and the quality was evaluated, and then StataMP 14.0 software was used to make a Meta analysis. Results: A total of 14 studies with 752 patients were included. The experiment group had a higher complete remission rate and the overall response rate compared with the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (RR= 1.61, 95% CI 1.36-1.90, P < 0.01; RR= 1.36, 95%CI 1.24-1.50, P < 0.01). The experiment group had a better efficacy in the improvement of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), VEGF receptor (VEGFR), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and bone marrow microvessel density (MVD) after the treatment compared with the control group, and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (all P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference in the adverse events between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Conclusion Meta analysis showed that oral administration daily thalidomide 100 mg combined with conventional chemotherapy has a better clinical efficacy and antiangiogenic effect compared with chemotherapy alone, without the increase of adverse reactions.
