In this paper, we studied the effect of total flavones of Hippophae rhamnoides L (TFH) on beating and transmembrane potential of cultured sucking rat cardiac cell. The results indicated that cellular beating rate and beating amplitude were significantly reduced, the action potential duration of 50% and 90% repolarization was sbortened, the slope of phase 4 depolarization was decreased, and other parameters of the action potential showed no significant change. In addition, we also observed that TFH could make the spontaneous abnormal beating of cell change into regular beating. These findings suggested that the mechanism of TFH on cultured cardiac cell might have some relation to antagonizing inward flow of Ca~(2+) and aocelerating the move of k' outward.

Thirty-one cases of infant respiratory tract infection were treated by no-pain health-care Tuina plus medicated bath. Since the therapeutic effects were satisfactory, so parents and infants are willing to accept.

Objective To study the value of routine laboratory examinations, symptoms and soluble IL-2 receptor (sIL-2R) in the flare-prediction on systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE). Methods A prospective study was performed in 106 outpatients with SLE and the patients′ conditions were assessed according to Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index(SLEDAI). Patients were asked to visit at no longer than 3-month interval. All patients were followed-up for 6 to 18 months. At each visit, laboratory examinations, symptoms, disease activity, as well as the changes in the treatment were recorded according to the protocol. The values of these parameters in flare-prediction were comprehensively assessed based on their frequency and time respectively when they became abnormal before the disease flare. Results Among the 106 patients, the disease activity of 67 cases were in remission and satisfied the prospective study criteria of the SLE flare. Thirty-one flares in 29 patients were observed. The frequency of flare was 0.44/patient/year. Comprehensively the most valuable predictor of those parameters was anti-dsDNA antibody, followed by complement components, sIL-2R, erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR), complete blood count, urine analysis, fatigue, mucous membrane ulceration, new rashes and alopecia. C3 was a better predictor for SLE flares than that of C4 and CH50. Conclusions The flares of SLE could be predicted. Early intervention will help to prevent patients from flare.

Objective To investigate the method and curative effect for the operative treatment of acetabular fractures.Methods Forty-one patients with acetabular fractures were treated operatively from March 2001 to March 2006.All fractures were classified according to the Letournel-Judet classification,22cases were simple fractures and 19 cases were complicated fractures.Kocher-Langenbeck (K-L) approach were adopted in 31 cases (14 cases through osteotomy of greater trochanter additionally),ilioinguinal approach were adopted in 8 cases and anterior combined posterior approach were adopted in 2 cases.Different fractures were fixed by reconstructive plates and screws.Results All the patients were followed up for 16-36 (24.31 ± 5.31 ) months.According to the reduction criteria of Matta radiography,there were 27 cases with anatomic reduction,8 cases with satisfactory reduction,3 cases with poor reduction and 3 cases with joint contour reduction.According to the Merle D' Aubigne clinical criteria for joint functions,14 cases showed excellent results,18 cases were good,5 cases were fair and 4 cases were poor,and the excellent-good rate was 78%( 32/41 ).Necrosis of the femoral head was found in 3 cases,heterotopic ossification in 4 cases,traumatic arthritis in 3 cases,sciatic nerve injury in 4 cases,femoral nerve injury in 1 case,all the nerve injury recovered in 6 months.Lower extremity deep venous thrombosis in 3 cases,all of them were recovered by given anticoagulation.No death,infection or nonunion were found.Conclusions K-L approach or ilioinguinal approach are adopted in the most of the operative treatment of acetabular fractures.Dual reconstructive plates or single.reconstructive plate combine lag screws can fix solid.It can make hip to do early exercise.

Objective To investigate the clinical effects of Losartan on hemorrheology and left heart function in essential hypertensive patients.Methods 43 essential hypertensive patients were treated with Losartan,50 ms/d～100 ms/d for twelve to seventeen months.20 essential hypertensive patients were treated with Fu Fang Jiang Ya Pian as control group.Then the changes of hemorrheology indexes and left heart function were tested in both groups.Results After the treatment with Losartan the blood pressure reduced effectively(P＜0.001),the whole blood low shear rate hyperviacoSity(ηb),plasma viscosity,AI,whole blood low shear rate reduced viscosity,erythrocyte electrophoresis,Fib reduced obviously(P＜0.01),but the control group had not statistical significance(P＞0.05)before and after treatment.The whole blood high shear rate hyperviscesity,whole blood high shear rate reduced viscosity,Hct,RRI reduced too(P＞0.05),but there was no statistical significance.LVM(P＜0.01)and LVMI(P＜0.05)were obviously reduced,E/A was increased(P＜0.01),IRT(P＜0.05)was shorten (P＜0.05),while the cardiac diastole function improved effectively.The significant differences were not observed in the control group pre and pest treatment(P＞0.05).Condusion Losartan can effectively reduce blood pressure.At the same time,it improves RBC deformation capability,reduce erythrecyte aggregation,Fib,Hct of essential hypertensive patients,and reduce blood viscosity.Losartan can also reduce myocardial hypertrophy,heart weight,and improve heart function.

Objective To evaluate the recovery and hemedynamics of total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) with propofol and remifentanil. Methods Thirty ASA Ⅰ - Ⅱ patients undergoing hperoscopic oper-ation were randomly divided into the TIVA group(group A,n=15) and the combined intravenous with inhala-tion anaesthesia greup(group B,n=15). Anaesthesia was induced in the same manner in both greups:Midazo-lam 0.05mg/kg,vecurium 0.1mg/kg,propofol 1.5mg/kg and remifentanil 1.5 μg/kg.Remifentanil was infused 2.5 μg/ml) in group A or with sevoflurane( 1.3% end-tidal) in group B to maintain anaesthesia. With termi-nation of surgery,anaesthetic delivery was discontinued simuhaneously.Bp,HR at all stages and recovery profiles were recorded. Results (1)Between before inflation and after inflation or between at the end of op-eration and the basic values in group A,there were no significant differences in Bp,HR. (2) Times from stop-ping administration of anaesthetics until full spontaneous respiration and eye opening were similar for two groups.Time for trachcal extubation was significantly less in the group A than group B. (3)The rates of post-operative nausea or vomiting were similar. Conclusion The application of TIVA with propefol and remifen-tanil is associated with better hemodynamic stability and better recovery profile as compared to the combined intravenous with inhalation anaesthesia.

Objective To explore the effect of Dingchuantang on the expression of NGF in the lung and thymus of asthmatic rats. Methods Thirty two Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group, asthmatic group, Dingchuantang group and Beclomethasone group, 8 rats for each group. Asthmatic model was made except the control group. The change of NGF expression in the lung and thymus were observed by means of immunohistochemistry. Results The expression of NGF in the lung and thymus of asthmatic group was much higher than that of control group and that of Dingchuantang group was much lower than that of asthmatic group. Conclusion Over-expression of NGF might be involved in the pathogenesis of bronchial asthma, and inhibition of NGF expression by Dingchuantang may be one of the mechanisms in the treatment of asthma.

OBJECTIVE To explore the source resulting in nosocomial infection and main component elements managing and controlling nosocomial infection in order to enhance the administration of nosocomial infection and to raise proposition on standardized administration.METHODS Main component elements resulting in nosocomial infection were investigated by reviewing literature and clinical data,and analyzing hierarchy process of administration.RESULTS Emphasis on the administrative measures of main component elements resulting in nosocomial infection might achieve the aim of preventing and reducing nosocomial infection.CONCLUSIONS Reconstruction of administrative links on nosocomial infection can reduce medical risk and cost.
