Objective:Use ligustrazin and salvia miltiorrhiza to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis,for the experimental result was perfect in animal modal.Method:These two drugs combined with prednisone in 15 patients as treated group,prednisone in 10 patients as control group.Result:At 1,6 months followed up,the dyspnea and cough improved markedly.Chest radiograph and pulmonary function improved slightly.There were no differences between two groups.After 24 month the combined group 13(73%) stabilized,4(27%) relapse or deterioration,no death.Control group 6(60%) stabilized,3(30%) relapse or deterioration,1(10%) death,Conclusion:Combined group was better then control group.Ligustrazin and salvia miltorrhiza could decrease alveolitis and inhibit the formation of procollagen.It also improve the patient's immunity.

Objective To explore the best cut-off value of serum human epididymis protein 4(HE4)in the diagnosis of ovarian cancer,and analyze the clinical significance of combined detection of HE4,carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125)and D-dimer for early screening and diagnosis of ovarian cancer.Methods A total of 49 patients with ovarian cancer,63 patients with benign tumor and 47 healthy women were collected.The content of CA125,HE4 and D-dimer were detected by chemical luminescence immunoassay and turbidimetric inhibition immunoassay,respectively.Results The new cut-off value of HE4 was 54.31 pmol/L.The serum levels of HE4,CA125 and D-dimer in the ovarian cancer group were all significant higher than those in the ovarian benign tumor group and the healthy group(P<0.05).No significant difference between the healthy group and benign disease group was found in CA125 and D-dimer content(P=0.293,0.359),while a significant difference in HE4 level(P<0.01).The sensitivity and specificity of combined detection of the HE4+CA125 increased to 91.8%,85.4%,which was higher than that of the diagnosis detection of the three indicators respectively.The sensitivity and specificity of combined detection of the HE4 +CA125 +D-dimer were 95.0%,76.5%,which was higher than the combined detection of the HE4+CA125.Conclusion The combined detection of CA125+HE4+D-dimer could improve the sensitivity for early diagnosis and screening of ovarian cancer.
