Objective To investigate the effect of nerve growth factor (NGF) and ciliary neurotrofic factor (CNTF) on the regeneration and functional recovery of sciatic nerves following sciatic nerve injuries (SNI). Methods The left sciatic nerves for 6 mm in 120 Wistar ratswere removed and divided randomly into 4 groups. Target muscular injection of NGF at concentration of 100 ng/kg and CNTF at 100 ng/kg was given to Group NGF+CNTF; CNTF at 100 ng/kg to Group CNTF; NGF at 100 ng/kg to Group NGF and equal quantity of normal saline to Group NS. Sciatic nerve functional index (SFI) measurement, morphometric analysis, S-100? and NF200 immunohistochemistry were performed for all the animals after operation. Results SFI, diameter and number of myelinated axons, and axonal quantity of S-100? and NF200 were significantly higher in Group NGF+CNTF than that in other groups. Conclusions Combined application of NGF and CNTF can enhance regeneration and functional recovery of sciatic nerves posterior to SNI.

To explore the effects of Quyu Xiaoban Capsule (QXC) on blood lipid level and platelet activity in coronary heart disease (CHD).A randomized single blinded trial was adopted in 62 cases of CHD. Thirty one cases (control group) were treated with routine western medicine and the rest (QXC group) with QXC added. Serum levels of total cholesterols (TC), triglycerides (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL C) and platelet-activating ? granule membrane protein (GMP 140) were detected before and after treatment.After ten weeks of treatment, GMP 140, TC and TG levels were decreased to various degrees in QXC group, the differences being significant as compared with those in control group and those in QXC group before treatment (P0 05).[Conclusion]QXC can decrease the blood lipid level and improve platelet activity and has a certain effect in preventing and treating CHD.

Objective to observe plasma Brain Natriuretic Peptide level by use of low dose Betaloc for congestive heart failure.Methods We chose 31 heart failure patients with Ⅲ~Ⅳ New York Heart Association (NYHA)functional classification,and used low dose Betaloc on the basis of traditional treatment,then observed the changement of plasma Brain Natriuretic Peptide level during treatment. Results After treatment,patients' heart rate, blood pressure ,cardio-thoracic ratio and LVDd all descended,but LVEF increased.The value of BNP declined obviously,after the use of the Betaloc.Conclusions We treated congestive heart failure with low dose Betaloc,the availability ratio was more than 80%,and the value of BNP declined obviously.It implied dynamic monitoring plasma Brain Natriuretic Peptide was helpful in understanding treatment effect and prognosis.

Objective To explore the impact of overweight and obesity on flow mediated dilation (FMD) in adult people.Methods Intact clinical data of 183 healthy people, aged 30~65 in our hosipital were analyzed.According to BMI, all people were divided into obesity group (48 cases), overweight group(75 cases) and normal group (60 cases).FMD was detected by E tracing of ultrasonic.Weight, WC, BFP, baPWV, BP,FPG,CHO,HDL-C,LDL-C,TG and UC were observed at the same time.FMD of three groups were compared and the risk factors of FMD were analyzed.Results The level of FMD in the obesity group and overweight group was significantly higher than that in the normal group[(5.63±2.76)%,(6.45±2.54)% vs.(8.31±3.04)%](F=13.77,P<0.001);there was no statistically significant difference between the obesity group and overweight group (t=1.68,P>0.05).Age(β=0.078,95%CI: 1.004,1.164),BMI(β=0.465,95%CI 1.148,2.208),LDL-C(β=2.294,95%CI: 9.918,1.612) and UC(β=0.007,95%CI 0.986,1.000) were independent risk factors of decreased FMD(P<0.05).Conclusion Age, BMI, LDL-C and UC are independent risk factors of decreased FMD.

Objective To investigate the existence and variance of quinolone-resistance genes in a group of pan-drug resistant of Acinetobacter baumannii ( A.baumannii ).Methods Twenty strains of pandrug resistant A.baumannii were isolated from patients registered in Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University from January 2011 to April 2011.Drug target genes to quinolone (gyrA,parC) and quinolone-resistance genes mediated by mobile genetic elements [ qnrA,qnrB,qnrS,aac(6')-Ⅰ b-cr,qepA] were analyzed by PCR and verified by DNA sequencing.Results In all 20 strains of A.baumannii,the sense mutation was found in the quinolone resistance-determining region of the gyrA gene in the form of TCA to TTA at codon 83 (Ser-83-Leu).Moreover,in the quinolone resistance-determining region of the parC gene sense mutation was found in the form of TCG to TTG at codon 80 (Ser-80-Leu) and 3 synonymous mutations were CCC to CCT at codon 40,GTA to GT]T at codon 41 and CGT to CGC at codon 44.And parC gene was a new mutation.However,mutations were not found in quinolone-resistance genes mediated by mobile genetic elements [ qnrA,qnrB,qnrS,aac( 6 ' )-Ⅰ b-cr,qepA ].Conclusion Quinolone-resistance-determining region play a key role in resistance to quinolones in this group of A.baumannii.To our knowledge,this is first report about the emergence of the new mutation of parC gene in China.

Objective To explore the relationship between plasma N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level and the location and prognosis of acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in elderly people.Methods From May 2012 to April 2014, the 137 elderly patients (aged≥60 years) with acute STEMI within 24 h after symptoms onset admitted in cardiovascular department of Ningbo First Hospital were selected as acute myocardial infarction group (AMI group), and 40 elderly healthy people (age≥60 years) as control group.The plasma NT-proBNP levels were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA), and compared between the two groups.The patients in AMI group were classified into four subgroups: anterior AMI group (A group, n=44), anterolateral AMI group (B group, n=21), anterior septal AMI group (C group,n=18) and inferior AMI group (D group, n=54), and the changes of plasma NT-proBNP levels in different infarction location were explored.Meanwhile, all patients were followed up for 30 days and 1 year to observe major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) and mortality rate, then to explore the relationship between plasma NT-proBNP level and prognosis in elderly people with STEMI.Results The plasma NT-proBNP levels were significantly higher in AMI group than in control group [(1 406.2±1 322.5)ng/L vs.(63.7±18.5) ng/L, P<0.01].The changes of plasma NT-proBNP levels in high-to-low sequence were from A group to B group to C group to D group and to control group (P<0.05).At 30 days, the plasma NT-proBNP levels were higher in death group than in survival group (P<0.05), and were higher in MACE group than in non-MACE group (P<0.05).At one year, there were no significant differences in plasma NT-proBNP levels between death group and survival group (P>0.05), and the plasma NT-proBNP levels were higher in MACE group than in non-MACE group (P<0.05).Conclusions In elderly STEMI patients, there is a correlation between plasma NT-proBNP levels and infarct location, with the highest NT-proBNP level in anterior AMI.The plasma NT-proBNP level could predict MACE.
