Clinical Medicine of China 2007;23(13):1-3
Objective To explore the effect of benazepril combined with amoldipin on cardiac function and urine microalbuminuria in patients with moderate and severe primary hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy.Methods 90 patients with mild to moderate essential hypertension and left ventficular hypertrophy were randomly divided into three groups(n=30 in each group),who were treated with benazepril,amoldinpin and benazepril com-bined with amoldipin,respectively.Blood pressure was monitored and left ventricular diameter(LVDd),interven-tricular septal thick(IVS),left ventricular posterior wall(LVPW),left ventricular masses index(LVMI)were measured by echocardiography before and after treatment in three groups.Microalbuminuria,serum nitrogen and creatinine were examined at the same time.Results Both SBP and DSP were significantly decreased in three groups after two weeks treatment.E/A ratio and EF were increased at the same time(P<0.01).After treatment,these changes were more significant in Benazepril with Amlodipine group(P<0.05).After 24 week treatment IVS,LVPW and LVMI were significantly dereased(P<0.01),while LVEF and E/A increased(P<0.01).After 4-week treatment,microalbuminuria was decreased in three groups,especially in combined treatment group(P<0.01).With the time of medication in combined treatment group,microalbuminuria was increasingly decreased which was significant in benazepril and amoldipin group after 24 weeks(P<0.01).Conclusion The Benzazepril with am-lodipine are more effective in lowering blood pressure,left ventricular hypertrophy and decrease microalbuminuria.

Objective To discuss the causes and treatment of angulated healing of long bone shaft fracture at lower limbs. Methods 12 cases of patients with the angulated healing of femoral and tibiofibular fractures were treated surgically in our hospital. In the operation, the plane and angle of the osteotomy were designed according to the specific angulation to restore the normal vertical alignment of the knee joint so that traumatic arthropathy of the knee could be treated or prevented. Results All the patients were followed up for 6 months to 12 years (averaging 66 months). Their lameness was greatly improved, the pain at their knee joints was relieved, and the occurrence or development of the arthropathy were obviously delayed. Conclusions When the angulation of healed long bone shaft fracture at lower limbs exceeds the physical weight bearing line, the condition should be treated surgically. The corrected angulation can delay the occurrence and development of arthritis at the knee. Moreover, corrected angulation and restored alignment is a good method to treat arthropathy of the knee joint.

Purpose:To investigate the expression and significance of CXCR4 in human lung cancer. Methods:Real-time RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry were performed to detect the expression of CXCR4 on 36 lung cancer specimens and 10 normal lung specimens taken from non-cancerous regions adjacent to lung cancer tissue. Results:34 of 36 cases showed positive staining of CXCR4 protein compared with normal lung specimens.CXCR4 expression was independent of pathological type or histological grade. However, in all examined cases, higher expression of CXCR4 tended to be detected in the tumor specimens with lymph node metastasis or regional invasion. Conclusions:Up-regulated expression of CXCR4 was detected in the early stage of lung cancer, and high-level expression of CXCR4 was associated with lung cancer having metastasis.

Objective To prepare nanobubbles and analysis its application for enhanced ultrasound imaging of small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). Methods Nanobubbles were prepared using a thin-film hydration-sonication method. MTT assay was used to evaluate the cytotoxicity of the nanobubbles for SCLC H446 cell line. The contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) of xenografted SCLC tumors in 10 nude mice was performed using nanobubbles and micro-scale microbubbles, and compared with livers. The time-intensity curve (TIC) was obtained using the Gamma variate and the following parameters were calculated, including area under the curve, time to peak, arrival time, peak intensity, and half-peak time. Results Nanobubbles with spherical shape distributed homogeneously, without obvious aggregation, the mean diameters was (392.1 ±48.6) nm and average zeta potential was (-16.8 ±2.9) mV. The MTT results indicated that the nanobubbles had no obvious cytotoxicity toward H446 cell line within the concentrations used for in vivo ultrasound imaging with nanobubbles (5 μg/ml). CEUS with the nanobubbles showed significantly higher peak intensity, and half-peak time [(18.14 ±0.62) s, (141.55 ±8.21) s] in comparison with the micro-scale microbubbles [(14.82 ±0.51) s, (120.43 ±8.73) s] (P= 0.033, 0.040). There was no significant difference in time to arrival, area under the curve and time to peak (all P>0.05). Compared with livers, the nanobubbles in xenografted SCLC tumors showed significantly shorter time to peak, lower peak intensity and area under the curve, and higher half-peak time (all P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in time to arrival (P > 0.05). Conclusion Nanobubbles ultrasound enhanced contrast agent shows good stability and contrast-enhancement effect in vitro, and provides an experimental basis for targeting ultrasound imaging and therapeutics of SCLC.
