Objective To investigate the influence of trimetazidine combined with atorvastatin on heart func-tion and the BNP level in patients with cornary heart failure.Methods The clinical data of 400 patients with cornary heart disease were retrospectively analyzed.194 patients in the control group were treated with conventional treatment, 206 patients in the observation group were treated with trimetazidine combined with atorvastatin on the basis of the control group.The treatment effect,cardiac function and BNP level were observed and compared.Results The effec-tive rate of the observation group was 91.26%,which was significantly higer than 76.29% of the control group (χ2 =16.667,P <0.05).After treatment,the cardiac index,stroke volume,cardiac output,left ventricular ejection fraction and BNP level of the two groups were significantly higher than before treatment,and those in the observation group were significantly higher than the control group(t =2.505,2.851,3.308,3.452,all P <0.05).Conclusion Trime-tazidine combined with atorvastatin in treatment of cornary heart failure has good curative effect,it can reduce the serum level of BNP,improve cardiac function significantly,which is of great value for clinical use.

Objective To explore the distribution and characterization of class 1 integrons in E.coli from healthy feces,and to elucidate the status of gene-cassettes.Methods Routine method was used to isolate E.coli,antibiotics susceptibility was tested by the disk diffusion method;class 1 integron was detected by PCR assay;PCR products were sequenced and analyzed.Results Of 97 samples,76 isolates were identified,and 25 isolates were multiple-drug resistant.The antibiogram was sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim,ampicillin,streptomycin,tetracycline,erythromycin.14 of 25 isolates carried class 1 integrons,and the size of integrons differed from 1 800 bp(10 strains) to 750 bp(4 strains).The sequenced PCR product demonstrated that the 1 800 bp integron laboured aadA1-dfrA14-orf gene cassette conferred the resistance to sulfamethoxazole-timethoprim,streptomycin and aminoglycoside;the 750 bp integron laboured dfrA14 gene cassette conferred the resistance to sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim.Conclusion The different kinds of class 1 integrons exist in E.coli from the healthy students,and determine the multiple-resistant antibiotics.

Owing to the advanced age,limb hemiplegia,dehydration,and vessel wall injury,stroke may be easy to cause venous thromboembolism (VTE).VTE mainly include deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE).DVT refers to abnormal blood clotting in the veins and impedes venous return.The dislodgement of emboli from the vessel wall can form a thrombotic embolism,and cause PE,myocardial infarction,and stroke; it can not only prolong hospitalization,but also increase the mortality.This article reviews the incidence,risk factors,treatment,and prevention of DVT after a stroke.

OBJECTIVETo compare the efficacy differences between needle-knife therapy and acupuncture-cupping for treatment of cervical spondylosis (CS) of cervical type.

METHODSSixty cases of CS were randomly divided into a needle-knife group (30 cases) and an acupuncture-cupping group (30 cases). The needle-knife therapy was applied at points among superior nuchal line of occipital bone, bilateral neck muscle, neck centerline, trapezius and medial border scapula for only once. In the acupuncture-cupping group, acupuncture was applied at Fengchi (GB 20), Fengfu (GV 16), Tianzhu (BL 10), Dazhui (GV 14), Jianjing (GB 21), Jiaji (Ex-B2, from C4 to C6), Houxi (SI 3) and Ashi point, followed by cupping on local skin, once every other day for totally six times. The score of neck stiffness and visual analogue scale (VAS) were observed before and after treatment, in follow-up of 1, 3 and 6 months after treatment in the two groups, and the efficacy was compared.

RESULTSIn the needle-knife group, 9 cases were cured, 12 cases were markedly effective, 8 cases were effective and 1 case was failed; the total effective rate was 96.7% (29/30) and the cured and markedly effective rate was 70.0% (21/30). In the acupuncture-cupping group, 8 cases were cured, 9 cases were markedly effective, 11 cases were effective and 2 cases were failed; the total effective rate was 93.3% (28/30) and the cured and markedly effective rate was 56.7% (17/30). The difference of total effective rate in the two groups was not statistically significant (P > 0.05), but the cured and markedly effective rate of needle-knife group was significantly superior to that of acupuncture-cupping group (P < 0.05). The needle-knife therapy was significantly superior to acupuncture-cupping on improvement of neck stiffness in the follow-up of 1, 3, 6 months after treatment (P < 0.05, P < 0.001); both treatments were effective on relief of neck pain, but the needle-knife group had better effects in the follow-up of 3 and 6 months after treatment compared with acupuncture-cupping group (both P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONThe needle-knife therapy has better effects on neck stiffness and pain relief than acupuncture-cupping, and it is more treatment time saving.

The research of the secondary damage remote from middle cerebral artery territory infarction has made significant progress in recent years.More animal experiments from the cellular,biochemical and molecular levels have been performed for in-depth and detailed research on remote site damage. The injury mechanisms such as oxidative damage and β amyloid deposition have been found.The new imaging detection technologies,such as magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging(DTI),have gradually been applied to the diagnosis of remote site damage.

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are large super-gene family.It is traditionally thought to be a kind of electrophilic detoxification substance.However,recent research showed that it has a powerful antioxidant role,but its gene polymorphism is also a risk factor of variety diseases.Researches verified that GSTs are widely found in the epithelial tissue in human and eye tissues,such as iris,ciliary,trabecular meshwork,lens,macula and retina.GSTs play strong preventive and treating roles for many oxidative-induced eye diseases,including primary open-angle glaucoma ( POAG),age-related cataract and age-related macular degeneration ( AMD ).The antioxidative mechanism of GSTs to eye diseases is in study.The current researches about the element concept,distributions in eye tissues,gene polymorphism of GSTs and its relationship with eye oxidative damage were reviewed.

Objective:To construct mammalian cell expression vector of human leukocyte antigen C gene and express it in JAR cell and study its functions.Methods:Total cell RNA was extracted from peripheral blood mononuclear cells and the cDNA was amplified by RT PCR;the cDNA fragments were directly inserted into Pbluescript KS(+/-) and the recombinant PBS HLA C was identified by restriction endonuclease digestion and sequencing;then the plasmid of pcDNA HLA C was transfected into JAR cells.Lactate Dehydrogenase(LDH) release assay was employed to detect the cytotoxicities of NK cells proliferated in vitro against HLA C transfectants JAR cells.Results:The recombinant mammalian cell expression vectors of pcDNA3 HLA C was constructed,the sequences of the insert was identical to the published sequences encoding HLA Cw *0602 gene.Several transfected JAR clones were obtained,which expressed HLA Cw *0602 in high level and constitutively.The specific lysis was detected for NK cells stimulated by IL 2 against JAR cells and HLA C transfectants JAR cells.But both cells were resistant to freshly isolated PBL cells.Conclusion:The recombinant mammalian cell expression vectors of pcDNA3 HLA Cw *0602 was successfully constructed,JAR cells resistance to NK lysis could involve an HLA C independent mechanism.

Gestational diabetes refers to the first occurrence or discovery of different degrees of abnormal glucose tolerance during pregnancy, which is one of the most common complications during pregnancy. As the incidence rate increased year by year, the complications of mother and child increased significantly. In recent years, gestational diabetes mellitus has been paid more and more attention. Most of the current researches are about the diagnosis and treatment of gestational diabetes 24 weeks and later, and the theoretical basis for the screening method and treatment of early gestational diabetes is still lacking. With the further understanding of early gestational diabetes mellitus and its adverse maternal and infant pregnancy outcomes, it is imperative to actively carry out the research on the screening and treatment of early gestational diabetes mellitus.
