Objective This study was conducted to investigate the clinical outcomes and safety of primary percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) combined with tirofiban therapy in patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI). Methods Seventy-one consecutive patients with acute STEMI were divided by random number table to primary PCI combined with tirofiban therapy group(Tirofiban group,25 cases) and primary PCI treatment alone group(Control group,46 cases). Left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) and major adverse cardiac events rates(MACE) during hospitalization period and at 30 days discharge and 180 days after discharge were compared between the two groups. Results TIMI grade flow was significantly different between the tirofiban group and control group after surgery. The LVEF and MACE were significantly different between two groups during hospitalization period and at 30 days after discharge. The MACE at 180 days followup was relatively reduced and LVEF was relatively improved in tirofiban group, but there was not significantly different. Conclusion Adjunctive therapy with tirofiban for patients with acute STEMI who underwent primary PCI was safe and effective.

Objective To study the effects of PM2.5 and PM10 of dust storm on the secretion of nitrogen oxide(NO), interleukin-8 (IL-8) and tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?)in the alveolar macrophages(AM)of rat in vitro. Methods PM2.5 and PM10 were collected during dust storm period in the urban area of Beijing. The tested cells were primary cultured alveolar macrophages. Cytotoxicity of the particles was measured by MTT assay. The content of NO was determined using Griess reagent. The levels of cytokines IL-8 and TNF-? were determined using radioimmunity assay. Results After treatment for 24 h, PM2.5 and PM10 caused cytotoxicity to AM and the survival rate of the cells was decreased with the increasing exposure dose of the dust to the rats and the survival rate of the cells in the high dosage group was 80% of the control group. At concentrations of 20～150 ?g/ml, PM2.5 and PM10 increased the secretion of NO, TNF-? and IL-8 in AM in a dose-dependent manner. The cytotoxicity of PM2.5 was stronger than that of the PM10 at the same concentration, while the effects on the increasing secretion of NO, IL-8 and TNF-? induced by PM2.5 was smaller than that of the PM10. Conclusion PM2.5 and PM10 of dust storm could induce the secretion of inflammatory factors NO, IL-8 and TNF-? in rat AM.

Object To characterize the ultra fine particles of Atractylodes lancea (Thunb ) DC., Phellodendron chinense Schneid and the ERMIAO PILL *, a compounded preparation of the above two drugs, for the purpose to observe a deeper view on their physico chemical properties Methods By comparing their particle size, porosity and specific surface area with light and scanning electron microscope Results The size of the ultra fine particles were more uniform in size, 90% of which were under 20 ?m, their specific area were increased by 60% ～ 190% and bulk density were around 0 42 g/cm 3, and the great majority of the plant cells were broken as compared with the conventional coarse powder Conclusion Both A. lancea and P chinense together with their combined preparation became smaller in particle size, more uniformly distributed with increased specific surface area and broken cell wall

OBJECTIVE The head of malleus (HOM) was regarded as the landmark for the middle cranial fossa approach,and its relationship with internal auditory meatus(IAM) was measured. The purpose of this study was to find a safe method to locate IAM. METHODS Twelve heads of adult cadaver fixed with 10 % formaldehyde (23 sides) were microsurgically dissected from the middle cranial fossa approach. The foramen spinosum,Ferrein's foramen,greater petrosal nerve,lesser petrosal nerve,facial nerve,HOM,arcuate eminence,superior petrosal sinus,semicircular canal,and IAM were exposed. First,blue lines method was used to locate IAM. Second,HOM as the landmark was used to locate IAM. RESULTS The angles between the SSC and the longitude axis of IAM are 58.52??4.84?。 A perpendicular line (AB) was drew from the center of HOM to the longitude axis of the temporal bone (the longitude axis of the superior petrosal sinus),line BC was drew from the anterior 30?(28.93?? 6.07?) to the line AB. On the line BC,fundus of IAM can be located (6.69?1.10) mm medial to HOM,the center of the internal acoustic pore can be located (20.1?1.48)mm medial to HOM. CONCLUSION In the middle cranial fossa surgery,HOM can be used to locate IAM and its surroundings structures when traditional landmarks are unrecognized.

Object To investigate the effects of ultra-fine powder technique and granularity of pellets on dissolution rate in vitro. Methods The dissolution rate of ultra-fine ERMIAO PILL with different granule diameters in vitro was measured and compared with the index of berberine by UV spectro-photometry. Results The dissolution parameters T 50 and T d of four kinds of ultra-fine ERMIAO PILL are 61.60, 19.48, 17.84, 8.97 min and 102.3, 33.29, 26.98, 14.77 min, respectively. Those of general powder ERMIAO PILL with granule diameter of 2.4 mm are 89.61 and 155.68 min. Conclusion The dissolution rate of ultra-fine powder is quicker than that of general powder, and the rate increases with the granularity of PILL decreasing.

Objective:To investigate the relation among platelet activation marker(GPⅡb/Ⅲa,CD62p) and amounts of fibrinogen (FG) and of D-dimer (DD) in elderly patients with chronic cor pulmonale exacerbation.Methods:Subjects were divided into four groups (42 elderly patients with chronic cor pulmonale exacerbation,42 elderly patients with chronic cor pulmonale remission stage,30cases of healthy elderly controls and 30 cases of healthy non-elderly controls).Positive rates of GPⅡb/Ⅲa and CD62p were measured with tricolor flow cytometry.We also determined FG and DD in patients with chronic cor pulmonale and in normal controls.Results:Compared with those of chronic cor pulmonale remission stage group,healthy elderly group and healthy non-elderly group,the levels of GPⅡb/Ⅲa,CD62p,FG and DD increased significantly in elderly patients with chronic cor pulmonale exacerbation (all P<0.001).There was a positive correlation between the amount of GPⅡb/Ⅲa or CD62p and the amount of FG and DD in elderly patients with chronic cor pulmonale exacerbation.Conclusion:There is increased coagulation and platelet activity in elderly patients with chronic cor pulmonale exacerbation,and there is a significant correlation between platelet activity and hypercoagulability.
