Objective To study the effect of different doses of atorvastatin in the treatment of coronary heart disease with chronic heart failure. Methods 100 patients with chronic heart failure who were admitted to Ankang Hospital from April 2013 to April 2016 were selected and randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group with a total of 50 patients in each group. Two groups of patients were treated with conventional treatment, the control group was given 20 mg of calcium a day, the experimental group was given a daily dose of 40 mg of calcium. The therapeutic effects of the two groups were compared. Results After treatment, the left ventricular end diastolic diameter in the control group was significantly higher than that in the experimental group, the left ventricular ejection fraction and E/A were significantly lower than those in the experimental group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Patients in the control group were significantly higher than those in the experimental group in the incidence of cardiac death and recurrence of heart failure (P<0.05). Before treatment, there was no significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in serum NT-proBNP, hs-CRP levels and 6MWT. After treatment, the serum levels of NT-proBNP, hs-CRP in the control group were significantly higher than those in the experimental group, 6MWT was significantly shorter than that in the experimental group, and the difference was statistically significant (proBNP) (P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with 20mg/d, 40mg/d dose atorvastatin in the treatment of coronary heart disease with chronic heart failure curative effect, low recurrence rate, high safety, worthy of further promotion in clinical.

Objective To study the immuno-regulatory roles of antibiotics and their implication for pulmonary fibrosis.Methods The regulatory roles of antibiotics on the phenotypes of dendrite cells(DCs) and maturation of B lymphocytes in vitro were detected with flow cytometry.The roles of nystatin on pulmonary fibrosis in vivo were determined with bleomycin-induced acute injury model of mouse.Results Multiple antibiotics including nystatin apparently promoted the maturation of DCs and B cells,as well as subsequently promoted the polarization of Th2 cells through DCs.In addition,nystatin intensified bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis.Conclusion Multiple antibiotics including nystatin induce suppressive immune responses and might aggravate pulmonary fibrosis like nystatin.

For the purpose of studying the diagnostic significance of the traumatic perforation of the tympanic membrane by the otologic endoscopy and video tape recording, one hundred and fourteen patients 117 ears, with ear drum injury caused by the head and facial trauma were examined and analyzed by using the Hopkin modle mult angle otologic endoscopy and the video tape recorder. The results showed that the traumatic perforation of te tympanic membrane were found in all four quadrants of the membrane,61 91% of the perforation located in the anteriorinferior quadrant,of the tense part of the membrane. The shapes of the perforation were spindle,triangular,slit, irregular and lune. The nontraumatic perforation of the tympanic membrane often located in the center or the margin of the membrane and were round or oval in shape. The otologic endoscopy and video tape recording can display the morphologic features of the traumatic and nontraumatic perforations of the tympanic membrane objectively and provide reliable diagnostic and investitgative method for the forensic practice.

Objective To investigate the roles of the activated p38 kinase in cell injury by observation of the effects of hypoxia and burn serum on cardiomyocyte p38 kinase and JNK activation. Methods Phosphorylation of p38 kinase and JNK in primary cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes before and after hypoxia and burn serum was determined by Western blotting. Effects of pretreatment with SB203580 at the dose of 10 ?mol/L on the changes of phosphorylation of p38 kinase in cardiomyocytes, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, cell vitality and apoptosis were investigated, respectively. Results Exposure of rat neonatal cardiomyocytes to hypoxia and burn serum resulted in a rapid and long lasting activation of p38 kinase but no significant activation of JNK. SB203580(10 ?mol/l), a selective inhibitor of p38 kinase, could inhibit p38 kinase activation dramatically, decrease the LDH activity in culture media and cell apoptosis significantly and improve cell vitality. Conclusion In the two stress activated signal pathways of MAPKs family, p38 kinase pathway, but not JNK, is the major pathway activated by hypoxia and burn serum and participates in the cardiomyocyte injury.

BACKGROUND:The existed artificial anal sphincter cannot sense whether there are intestinal contents in the bowel and the state of intestinal contents, and the previous studies on the intestinal content signal did not included the different parts of colon and the signals of different intestinal content status.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the differences of ultrasound signals of different intestinal content status in different parts of New Zealand rabbits detected with transmission-type ultrasonic signal detection system.
METHODS:Twenty healthy New Zealand rabbits were used;the rabbits were divided into groups according to distal part of proximal colon, distal colon and distal rectum. Five positions of solid stool particles were selected randomly as the detection point in each group. The voltage signals of stool were measured under solid, fluid, gaseous, and deflation status of the lumen.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In rectum, there were no significant differences in voltage signals between solid and gaseous conditions, while there were significant differences between fluid and deflation conditions (P=0.000). Multiple comparison showed there were significant differences between four conditions in distal part of proximal colon and distal colon (P=0). There were significant differences in voltage singles between rectum, distal colon and proximal colon under solid and fluid conditions (P=0). Multiple comparison showed there were significant differences in any part of large bowel for solid and fluid status (P=0). There were no significant differences in voltage singles between rectum, distal colon and proximal colon under gaseous and deflation conditions. There was interactive effect of intestinal contents between three parts of large bowel under the four conditions (P=0.000). Transmission-type ultrasonic detection system can distinguish artificial intestinal contents sensory nerves of various intestinal contents. And the application of ultrasonic detection system to detect the intestinal contents under different conditions can provide a new effective method for the research on artificial intestinal content sensory nerves.

TUNEL assay was used to detect the apoptosis of tumor in two groups with or without preoperative interventional treatment. The expressions of P53, Bcl-2 and Bax proteins were detected by immunochemical methods. The patients were followed-up for more than 2 years.RESULTS: The extent of neoplastic cell necrosis and degeneration, interstital fiber tissue hyperplasia of tumor and the number of infiltrating lymphocytes were observed, which were higher in interventional group than those in simple excision group (P

Objective To investigate the value of interventional therapy for nephrorrhagia after mini-invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy(MPCNL).Methods From February 2007 to December 2008,16 cases with nephrorrhagia after MPCNL underwent interventional therapy,of them,14 cases treated with super-selective embolization,one case treated by kindey arterial embolization and one case with renal subcapsular bleeding treated by reptilase intra-arterial infusion.Results In 16 cases,15 cases were successfully treated by embolization.Conclusion Interventional therapy is the first choice method for treating nephrorrhagia after MPCNL.

Objective To explore the role in the localization of vascular puncture points with dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (DCE-MRA) before transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS). Methods MRA images of 46 patients with portal hypertension were measured. The patients were then punctured according to the measurement Results The supero-inferior distant from the puncture point of hepatic vein to plane of right branch of portal vein (AA') was (22.63±10.21)mm, the anteroposterior distant from the puncture point of hepatic vein to plane of right branch of portal (A'A'') was (13.93±1.07)mm, the angle of sag was (31.64±9.23)°. The distant from puncture point of hepatic vein (AS) and right branch (BS) were (23.51±2.12)mm and (38.51±5.36)mm. The angle of cor was (33.57±8.93)°. Forty-five patients were successful punctured, and the time of puncture decreased. Conclusion The location of portal vein puncture point during TIPS are changeable, therefore individualized location of positioning is needed. DCE-MRA is a valuable non-invasive method of localization, playing an important role in localization of vascular puncture points of TIPS.

OBJECTIVE: To figure out the etiological factors and overall mortality of the patients with acute intestinal obstruction, and to explore the rational period of conservative therapy before operation. METHODS: Medical records of all the patients with acute intestinal obstruction admitted to West China Hospital from 1995 to 2002 were retrospectively reviewed. The etiology of the obstruction was categorized, and the correlation of mortality and time interval between conservative therapy and operation was analyzed. RESULTS: There were 705 patients with acute intestinal obstruction included. There were 71.1% of the obstruction lesions located on the small bowel, and 82.6% of the patients experienced simple obstruction. The most frequent cause was adhesions (62.0%), and next was neoplasms (23.7%). There were 57.6% of the patients underwent the surgical treatment. The overall mortality rate was 1.6%, and the mortality rates in conservative therapy and surgical intervention groups were 1.3% and 1.7% respectively. The intestinal necrosis rate was increased gradually with the prolongation of time interval between conservative therapy and operation, and the death might occur 24 hours after strangulation. CONCLUSION: The epidemiological transition to adhesive obstruction still exists in China, and it is similar to that in Western countries. In our experience, near half of the patients with simple obstruction may achieve palliation by conservative therapy. Surgical intervention is indicated for the patients with prolonged and non-palliated simple obstruction, or strangulation disease within the first 24 hours.
