Objective To observe the effect of smoking cessation intervention combined with salmeterol and fluticasone pro‐pionate powder for inhalation on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with clinical symptoms and pulmonary function .Methods Totally 78 male long‐term smoking cases were randomly divided into control group(n= 40)and observation group(n=38) .The control group was treated with the ophylline sustained‐release tablets ,shah mette lo fluticasone;observation group received smoking cessation intervention .The smoking rate ,symptoms ,acute exacerbation ,life score and lung function (FEV1 ,FEV1/FVC) ,adverse reactions of two groups were observed .Results Two groups of symptoms were all improved ,but the observation group was better (P<0 .05) .FEV1 ,FEV1/FVC ,acute exacerbation ,scores were improved ,but the observation group was better(all P<0 .05);quit rates in the observation group was better than that of the control group(P<0 .05);and did not found adverse reactions .Conclusion The effect of smoking cessation intervention combined with salmeterol and fluticasone propionate powder for inhalation efficacy in the treatment of COPD is distinct ,can improve the pulmonary function and symptoms .

Objective To guide the therapy for cyanide poisoning patients on plateau, the effect of hypoxia on the efficiency of 4-(N, N-dimethyl)-aminophenol (4-DMAP) in ferrihemoglobin (MHb) formation was investigated. Methods Rabbits were raised in hypoxic condition (4500m altitude) as acute-hypoxic animal model, and MHb concentration was determined by spectrophotography at the length of 635nm after 4-DMAP injection. Results There was no difference in hemoglobin content and MHb concentration between acute acutehypoxia group and controls. But in hypoxic rabbits, MHb formation as induced by 4-DMAP was improved distinctly. 30%-40% MHb concentration formation (optimal anti-cyanide concentration) was induced by 20mg/kg 4-DMAP in hypoxic rabbits, compared to 25-30mg/kg in control rabbits. However, when hypoxic rabbits received 25-30mg/kg 4-DMAP, which was the optimal dose for treatment of cyanide poisoning in normoxic animals, the animals manifested even worse symptoms of hypoxia, eren death occurred. Moreover, the level of MHb in acute-hypoxic models maintained longer than that in controls. The effect of 4-DMAP in MHb formation was closely related with duration of hypoxia. During hypoxia period from 1d to 5d, MHb concentration was increased gradually along with the duration of hypoxia, peaking on the 5d, and it started to decline on 7d, but it was still higher than that in control group. Conclusion Hypoxia enhances the effect of 4-DMAP in MHb formation and lowers the metabolism of MHb.

To investigate the effect of arginine vasopression (AVP) on the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) by vascular endothelial cell (VEC). VEC of human greater omentum artery were isolated and cultured. The concentrations of VEGF and activity of protein kinase C (PKC) in the culture medium were measured. Results indicated that after the cells were incubated with 1?10 -9~1?10 -7mol/L AVP for 6 hours, the concentration of VEGF and activity of PKC were markedly increased compared to control (P
