1.The effect of atorvastatin on pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2006;0(12):-
Objective To explore the protective effect of atorvastatin(Lipitor) on the acute lung injury with ischemia-reperfusion and its possible mechanism.Methods Single lung in site ischemia-reperfusion animal model was used.Thirty Wistar rats were randomly divided into three equal groups and 10 rats were in each group:sham operate group(SO),pulmonary models of ischemia-reperfusion injury(IR) and atorvastation treated group(AT).The two latter groups were all ischemia for 60 minutes followed by reperfusion for 120 minutes.In the AT group,each rat was treated with atorvastation(10mg/kg) for the seventh day.Wet to dry weight rate(W/D),lung permeability index(LPI) were measured respectively.Lung tissue was observed by light microscope.Immunohistochemical technique was used to determine the immunoractivity of nityic oxide synthase(NOS).Results The levels of LPI and W/D were significantly decreased in AT group than in IR group by statistically significant differences(P

Objective To investigate the effect of thalidomide combined with targeted therapy of gefitinib on quality of life and survival in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Methods 90 cases with non-small cell lung cancer were selected in our hospital, according to the treatment were divided into observation group and control group, the observation group were treated by thalidomide combined with gefitinib treatment, patients in the control group received only gefitinib treatment, treatment effects was compared between the two groups, the remission rate, quality of life and survival were compared between two groups of patients. Results The effective rate of the observation group patients was 55.6%, compared with 33.3% in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), the life quality of the observation group of general health (general health, GH), physical functioning (PF), role –physical (RP), role-emotional (RE), mental health (MH), social functioning (SF), bodily pain (BP) and vitality (VT) were significantly better than the control group (P<0.05), there was no significant difference in 1, 2, 3, 4 years survival rate between two groups, while 5 years survival rate in observation group was higher than the control group(P<0.05). Conclusion Thalidomide combined with gefitinib targeted therapy is helpful to improve the quality of life and 5 years survival rate of non-small cell lung cancer.

Objective:To investigate the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation on anxiety/depression and subjective/objective sleep quality of elderly patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).Methods:From February 2018 to February 2019, 120 elderly patients with stable COPD were selected and randomly divided into the experimental group (pulmonary rehabilitation exercise combined with conventional COPD treatment) and the control group (simple COPD conventional treatment). Sixty cases in each group were intervened for 8 weeks. Before and after treatment, Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA) was used to evaluate anxiety, Hamilton depression scale(HAMD)was used to evaluate depression, Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI)and sleep log were used to evaluate subjective sleep quality, and objective sleep quality was monitored by multi-channel sleep monitor.SPSS 21.0 software was used to analyze and process the data. Chi square test, independent sample t test and paired t test were used for statistical analysis. Results:After 8 weeks of intervention, the HAMA and HAMD scores of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group (HAMA: (7.57±3.19) vs (10.15±4.89), t=-3.428, P=0.001; HAMD: (8.22±4.73) vs (10.60±6.49), t=-2.300, P=0.023). COPD patients with anxiety decreased (χ 2=7.566, P=0.006). After treatment, the subjective sleep latency of the experimental group was shorter than that of the control group ((42.00±9.88)min vs (47.25±10.27)min, t=-2.854, P=0.005). The subjective sleep efficiency was higher than that of the control group ((76.00±4.50)% vs (74.00±5.20)%, t=2.272, P=0.025), and the objective sleep latency was shorter than that of the control group ((28.02±5.59)min vs (32.95±6.21)min, t=-4.575, P<0.05). Conclusion:Pulmonary rehabilitation exercise can improve the anxiety and depression of elderly patients with stable COPD, and improve the subjective and objective sleep quality.
