OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of low molecular weight heparin combined with warfarin on early cardioversion of atrial fibrillation. METHODS:Totally 58 patients with atrial fibrillation were randomly divided into observation group (32 cas-es)and control group(26 cases). All patients were given conventional treatment;meanwhile,control group was orally treated with warfarin with initial dose of 2.5 mg,once a day,and when international normalized ratio (INR) was maintained at 2.5-3 weeks, amiodarone was orally given for cardioversion;observation group was subcutaneously injected warfarin (the same dose as control group)+ Low molecular weight heparin for injection 5 000 U for continuous 3-5 d,q12 h,it was stopped when INR was 2.5 and cardioversion was started at the same time. If the heart rate was fast,a loading dose of 150 mg amiodarone was given to maintain 6 h with rate of 1 mg/min and more than 24 h with rate of 0.5 mg/min. If hemodynamics is stable,amiodarone was orally given for cardioversion,it was not achieved after 4 weeks of amiodarone or QTc>0.50,it was replaced by controlling heart rate and warfa-rin. All patients were continuously given warfarin for 4 weeks after cardioversion to maintain INR in about 2.5. After one month of using amiodarone,the cardioversion rate,recurrence rate,cardioversion time,total amount of amiodarone and incidence of ad-verse reactions were evaluated. RESULTS:The cardioversion rate,recurrence rate,cardioversion time and total amount of amioda-rone in observation group were significantly better than control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between 2 groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Low molecular weight heparin combined with warfarin can improve the success rate of early cardioversion of atrial fibrillation,without bleeding and embolic complications and with good safety.

OBJECTIVE:To observe clinical efficacy and safety of adenosine cyclophosphate combined with diltiazem in the treatment of chronic pulmonary heart disease heart failure complicated with atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter. METHODS:100 cas-es of chronic pulmonary heart disease heart failure complicated with rapid atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter were randomly divided into observation group and control group,with 50 cases in each group. The control group was given conventional treatment,and the observation group was additionally given diltiazem orally,30 mg/time,once a day,and adenosine cyclophosphate 180 mg add-ed into 5% Glucose injection 200 ml intravenously,once a day,for 10 days,on the basis of conventional treatment. The heart rate,the pressure of pulmonary artery and left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)before and after treatment,and clinical efficacy were observed in two groups. RESULTS:After treatment,clinical symptoms of 43 cases of observation group and 31 cases of con-trol group improved significantly,and heart rate were satisfactory,with statistical significance(P<0.05). The decrease of pulmo-nary arterial pressure and LVEF in observation group were improved significantly,compared to control group,with statistical signif-icance (P<0.05). The bradycardia,hypotension,the exacerbation of asthma and heart failure and other side effects hadn’t been found in 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS:Adenosine cyclophosphate combined with diltiazem in the treatment of chronic pulmonary heart disease heart failure complicated with atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter can significantly improve cardiac function,control heart rate and promote the improvement of disease condition with good safety.

Objective: To study the effect of hesperetin on the migration of P-selectin mediated MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells and its mechanism. Methods: Using computer virtual docking to evaluate the capacity of hesperetin binding to P-selectin in vitro; MTS test was observed with different concentration of hesperetin or P-selectin on the growth capacity of MDA-MB-231; The effect of hesperetin on P-selectin secretion by activated platelet was detected by Elisa kit; Adhesion experiments examined hesperetin on P-selectin-mediated MDA-MB-231 and endothelial cell adhesion; Transwell experiment was performed to analyze the effect of P-selectin on MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell migration affected by hesperetin; Western blotting investigated MDA-MB-231 cell surface glycoprotein Mucin-1, Integrin β3, β1 and matrix metalloproteinase expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 protein expression influenced by hesperetin; impact of hesperetin on MDA-MB-231 cell integrin-matrix metalloproteinase signaling pathway was analyzed to clarify the anti-tumor metastasis mechanism of hesperetin. Results: Hesperetin inhibited P-selectin-induced MDA-MB-231 cell migration and reduced HUVEC-breast cancer cell adhesion. Hesperetin down-regulated the expression of β1 and β3 integrins, and MMP-2 and MMP-9 at protein levels in MDA-MB-231 cells. Conclusion: Hesperetin can inhibit the growth capacity of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells, block P-selectin-induced breast cancer MDA-MB-231 tumor cell migration and adhesion, and the mechanism for hesperetin is through competitive P-selectin binding to Mucin-1.Subsequently, hesperetin could block PI3K/AKT/Paxillin/FAK/Src signaling pathway and down-regulate P-selectin mediated Integrins, MMP-2, and MMP-9 expression.

Objective To discuss the application effects of CBI teaching method in medical English Teaching of respiration medicine. Methods Dividing 120 students of Grade 2009 in Jining Medical College into two groups including control group (60) and experimental group (60). The tradi-tional teaching method was adopted in the control group and CBI teaching method was adopted in the experimental group. After finishing the courses, medical professional English level test and standard-ized patients test were applied in the two groups. Students' English studying interests and autonomous English learning ability were also investigated by questionnalres. SPSS 17.0 software was used for sta-tistical analysis, and the data were processed by t test and 字2 test, with the level of a test equal to 0.05. Results The medical professional English level test scores, standardized patients test scores and the total average scores of autonomous English learning ability in experimental group were respectively [(81.97±4.91), (80.33±5.85), (3.88±0.38)], and they were significantly higher than those in the control group [(70.40±4.78), (70.48± 4.79), (2.98±0.26), with P values below 0.01]. Satisfaction degrees in the improvement of learning motivation, learning time, learning method, learning attitude and dealing with study difficulties in experimental group were better than those of control group (χ2=13.084, 8.000, 13.297, 11.627, 13.374, P=0.000). Conclusion CBI teaching method is better than traditional teaching method and it transfers English learning into the learning of professional knowledge and skills of respiratory medicine, stirs the interests of students, improves their autonomous English learning ability and strengthens their abilities to learn and apply English language.

Objective To investigate the relationship between autophagy and metastasis of nasopharyngeal cancer ( NPC) cell lines 5?8F and 6?10B after X?ray irradiation and the related mechanism. Methods Two substrains, 5?8F and 6?10B, of the NPC cell line SUNE1, with high and low metastatic potentials, respectively, were used in our study. After 4 Gy X?ray irradiation, 5?8F cells were treated with rapamycin ( 20 μmol/L) to induce autophagy and 6?10B cells were treated with LY294002( 10μmol/L) to inhibit autophagy. The autophagy and metastatic activity of NPC cells were determined using qRT?PCR, Western blot, Transwell assay, laser confocal microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. Results 5?8F cells showed a lower level of autophagy than 6?10B cells after X?ray irradiation. Rapamycin increased the autophagy and inhibited the metastasis of 5?8F cells after irradiation, while LY294002 inhibited the autophagy and increased the metastasis of 6?10B cells. Conclusions NPC 5?8F cells, which have a high metastatic potential, have a lower level of autophagy than 6?10B cells, which have a low metastatic potential. Autophagic inhibition could increase the metastatic activity of NPC cells, while autophagic activation could reduce their metastatic activity. Mechanistic analysis indicates that the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway is involved in this process.
