Objective To approach the effects of the combination of simvastatin,clopidogrel and low molecular weight heparin on patients with unstable angina pectoris(UAP). Methods A total of 86 patients presented with UAP in Department of Internal Medicine of Tianjin Hongqiao Hospital were divided into control group and therapy group(each 43 cases)by random number table. The patients in the control group were treated with routine therapies such as oxygen,anti-platelet agents,nitrates,β-blockers,calcium channel antagonists,et al,while the patients in treatment group received besides the above conventional treatments,they additionally took simvastatin, clopidogrel orally and subcutaneous injection of low molecular weight heparin. The frequency of recurrence of angina, improvement of cardiac ischemia,the change of cholesterol,adverse reaction and the occurrence of complication were observed during 4 weeks of treatment. Results Compared to the control group,the frequency of angina(time/week:2.77±1.12 vs. 3.78±2.57,P<0.05)and consumption of nitroglycerin(mg/d:1.16±0.46 vs. 2.89±1.89,P<0.05) were obviously less,the improvement of cardiac ischemia(95.3%vs. 79.1%,P<0.05)and electrocardiogram(ECG:90.7%vs. 62.8%,P<0.05)was superior and the total effective rate was higher obviously in the therapy group. After treatment,plasma cholesterol levels were decreased obviously in treatment groups compared with before treatment (mmol/L:3.78±1.23 vs. 5.76±1.74,P<0.05),but the statististical difference in cholesterol levels in control group was found between before and after treatment(5.66±1.14 vs. 5.69±1.89,P>0.05). Before and after treatment,there were no significant changes of platelet count(PLT),activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),liver functions and renal functions,and after treatment,bleeding and allergy serious adverse reactions were not seen in patients of both groups. Myocardial infarction occurred in 2 patients in the control group. Conclusion The addition of combined application of simvastatin,clopidogrel and low molecular weight heparin onto routine therapies has better effects for treatment of UAP.

After the concept of symptoms in traditional Chinese medicine was defined, the classification of symp-toms in traditional Chinese medicine and the characteristics of clinical diagnosis and treatment in traditional Chinese medicine were described .It was suggested that the symptoms in traditional Chinese medicine should be classified into 3 kinds, namely symptoms and signs according to the 4 diagnostic methods, symptoms and signs according to the diagnostic devices, symptoms and signs according to the physical constitutions of patients in order to lay a foun-dation for improving the classification in clinical term system of traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective: To investigate the current situation of consumption and development tendency of antitumor Chinese herbal injections in Wuhan area. Methods:The analytical method of the defined daily dose ( DDD) recommended by WHO was used to ana-lyze the application of antitumor Chinese herbal injections in 32 hospitals of Wuhan area during the period of 2010-2012. Results:The consumption sum and the DDDs of antitumor Chinese herbal injections were increased year after year, while the daily drug cost ( DDC) was stable in general. The sort of consumption was generally in accordance with the sequence of DDDs. Conclusion:The status quo of antitumor Chinese herbal injections during the period of 2010-2012 is in line with the characteristics of clinical application, indicating the use is rational.

Objective To investigate the effects of C-peptide on apoptosis induced by high glucose and analyze the relationship between the apoptosis and expression of eNOS in HUVEC. Methods We determined the HUVEC apoptosis by Annexin-V, the expression of eNOS mRNA of HUVEC by RT-PCR, the apoptotic quantity of HUVEC by DNA fragment ELISA. Results High level of glucose could increase HUVEC apoptosis (P<0.01) and reduce the expression of eNOS. After adding physiological or high concentration of C-peptide, the apoptosis decreased and the expressions of eNOS increased markedly, with the relationship coefficient of -0.854 (P<0.01). Conclusion High glucose may induce apoptosis. Physiological or high concentration of C-peptide may reduce the apoptosis induced by hyperglycemia, the relationship between apoptosis and eNOS is negative.

A lot of evidence shows that autophagy is involved in the occurrence and development of cerebral ischemia - reperfusion. Autophagy and its related signal transduction pathways may be an effective therapeutic target for ischemic brain injury. This article reviews related signal transduction pathways of autophagy regulation after cerebral ischemia.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of aspirin and ursodeoxycholic acid on treating intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP).Methods Seventy-one ICP patients were divided by random digits table method into observation group (36 cases) and contol group (35 cases).Observation group was treated with aspirin and ursodeoxycholic acid.Control group was given unsodeoxycholic acid.The biochemical indicators,itching score and pregnancy outcomes of two groups were observed.Results Total bile acid (TBA),total bilirubin (TBIL),alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST)and itching score of two groups after treatment were all significantly lower than those before treatment (P ＜0.05 ).TBA,TBIL,ALT and itching score of observation group[ (31.7 ± 8.3 ) μ mol/L,(33.9 ± 5.8 ) μ mol/L,(53.1 ± 8.4) U/L,(0.48 ± 0.06) scores] were obviously lower than those of control group [(76.2 ±9.2)μ mol/L,(56.9 ± 8.2) μmol/L,(80.8 ± 10.6) U/L,(0.81 ±0.04) scores] (P ＜0.05).The incidences of amniotic fluid contamination,premature delivery and neonatal asphyxia of observation group were significantly lower than those of control group [38.9％(14/36) vs.71.4％(25/35),11.1％(4/36) vs.31.4％( 11/35 ),5.6％ ( 2/36 ) vs.22.9％ ( 8/35 ),P ＜ 0.05 ].Conclusions The combined application of aspirin and ursodeoxycholic acid can improve the biochemical indicators,itching symptom and pregnancy outcomes.

Objective To evaluate the precision of the ACCU-CHEK Performa glucose monitor,the Optium Xceed glucose monitor,the Breeze glucose monitor and the Contour glucose monitor.Methods A total of 102 patients (diabetic patients or un-diabetic patients) who visited our endocrinology outpatient department were randomly selected.The venous blood samples were collected using the laboratory auto-analyzer,and the synchronous finger tip capillary blood were collected using the ACCU-CHEK Performa glucose monitor and the Optium Xceed glucose monitor,or using the Breeze glucose monitor and the Contour glucose monitor.Results The correlation coefficients between VPG by the laboratory auto-analyzer and CBG by the four kinds of glucose monitors was good,and R values were 0.990,0.985,0.963,0.952,and there was no significant difference between the CBG of Breeze glucose monitor and the same VPG(P ＞ 0.05).When the blood glucose concentration was higher than 4.2mmol/L,and compared with the VPG detected by synchronous measurement laboratory,95％ of the CBG test results detected by four kinds of blood glucose meters were in the range of ± 20％.Conclusion The four kinds of glucose monitors can provide high accurate.

Objective To analyze the clinical and pathological features of breast cancer in patients over 80 years old, to discuss the individualized treatment plan and further to provide foundation for clinical treatment . Methods Data of 58 breast cancer patients over 80 years old were retrospectively analyzed .They were treated from Jun.2008 to May.2014 and the diagnosis was confirmed by pathology after surgery .They were followed up by telephone.Results Among the 58 cases, invasive cancer accounted for 94.8%(55/58), in which triple-negative breast cancer accounted for 29.1%(16/55), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)pos-itive breast cancer accounted for 7.2%( 4/55 ) .Stage III breast cancer accounted for 24%( 14/58 ) .67.2%(39/58)patients underwent breast resection , 55.2%(32/58)patients underwent axillary treatment , 17.2%(10/58)patients received chemotherapy , and 51.7%(30/58) patients received endocrine therapy .Seven cases had recurrence and 3 cases died of the disease .Conclusions Breast cancer in elderly patients has its special clinical and pathological features .It has longer course , relatively late stage , and more complications .It has higher pro-portion of triple-negative breast cancer and lower proportion of positive HER 2.Elderly breast cancer patients are less tolerant to chemotherapy , thus surgery and endocrine therapy are the main treatment .
