Objective To study the expression changes of CD54 and CD106 in peripheral blood lymphocyte in patients with congest heart failure. Methods With FCM technique, the levels of CD54 and CD106 in lymphocyte from patients with CHF were measured , and those of patients with hypertension , patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and normal controls were measured at the same time. Cardiac function during heart failure episodes and remission stage was monitored by Color Doppler Echocardiography. Results Levels of CD54 and CD106 were significantly elevated in patients with hypertension , patients with active CHF and hypertension , patients with inactive CHF and hypertension when compared with those of normal controls. Levels of CD54 and CD106 were significantly elevated in patients of dilated cardiomyopathy , patients with active CHF and dilated cardiomyopathy , patients with inactive CHF and dilated cardiomyopathy when compared with those of normal controls. Levels of CD54 and CD106 in patients of CHF were elevated with the degree of CHF. There was significantly negative correlation between LVEF and CD54 of CHF. Conclusions CD54 and CD106 may use as the marker to monitor the progress of CHF.

Objective To evaluate the effect and side effects of Kezhi capsule in short-term treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Methods 60 NAFLD cases of outpatients according to the inclusion criteria of were randomly assigned to two groups: the treated group-30cases with the prescription of Kezhi capsule , and the control group-30cases with the prescription of Xuezhikang. The treatment Course of taking Kezhi capusule (1.25 g, tid, po) and Xuezhikang(0.6 g, bid, po)was 24 weeks. Results After treatment in both groups we saw the significant decrease of the levels of ALT, AST, TC, TG, LDL-C, CREAT, BUN, BMI and TCM Syndromes scores, and the improvement of the ultrasonographic findings of liver steatosis. In the Xuezhikang group we saw higher decrease of TC and TG than the Kezhi capsule group with statistic difference (P < 0.05), while in Kezhi capsule group we saw higher decrease of BMI , TCM Syndromes scores and the improvement of the ultrasonographic findings of liver steatosis than the xuezhikang group with statistic difference (P < 0.05). Conclusions The results show that kezhi capsule is effective for the treatment of NAFLD without obvious side effects.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of thyroid ablation with low dose (1 110 MBq) 131 I for non-distant metastases differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) and its probable influence factors.Methods A total of 183 DTC patients (48 males,135 females,average age:(39.75±10.14) years) treated by thyroid ablation with 1 110 MBq 131I from January 2015 to December 2016 were respectively observed.All patients underwent diagnostic whole body scan (Dx-WBS) and the stimulated thyroglobulin (sTg) was measured 6-9 months after thyroid ablation.According to the results,patients were divided into successful ablation group (G1) and unsuccessful group (G2).Clinical and pathological characteristics of 2 groups were compared by two-sample t test,Mann-Whitney u test andx2 test.Logistic regression was used to identify the influence factors for efficacy of 131I ablation,and the cutoff value was determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.Results There were 156 patients in G1 and 27 patients in G2.The successful ablation rate was 85.25%(156/183).Comparing with patients in G2,patients in G1 showed higher thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) before ablation and lower sTg.The TSH level was 137.94(124.21,150.00) and 74.91(55.57,98.18) mU/L respectively (u=6.458,P<0.05),and sTg was 1.80(0.69,5.20) and 22.30(4.49,32.20) μg/L respectively (u=-6.174,P<0.05).Logistic regression showed that TSH,sTg and T stage before ablation were independent predictors for efficacy of 131I ablation (odds ratios:0.357-0.944).The optimal cutoff values of TSH and sTg identified by ROC curve analysis were 122.98 mU/L and 13.78 μg/L.Conclusions Low-dose 131I is effective enough for ablation treatment in non-distant metastases DTC patients with low T stage and low sTg(< 13.78 μg/L).High TSH (> 122.98 mU/L) before ablation may facilitate the efficacy of 131I ablation.
