Objective To study effects of strengthened atorvastatin treatment on homocysteine( Hcy) and N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide( NT-proBNP) in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome. Methods 120 patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome were randomly divided into the two groups,the observation group(n=60 cases) and the control group(n=60 cases).The patients in the observation group were treated through the basis of conventional therapy plus atorvastatin 40mg/night treatment,while the patients in the control group were treated through the basis of conventional therapy plus atorvastatin 20mg/night treatment. They were all treated for two months.Plasma Hcy and NT-proBNP were detected before and after treatment.Results Hcy in the observation group and the control group before treatment were ( 25.5 ±8.6 )μmol/L and ( 26.3 ± 9.1)μmol/L,respectively,(10.3 ±4.7)μmol/L and (16.9 ±7.1)μmol/L after treatment.NT-proBNP in the obser-vation group and the control group before treatment were (374.7 ±39.2)ng/L and (359.6 ±36.1)ng/L,respective-ly,(127.4 ±15.3)ng/L and (237.1 ±24.3)ng/L after treatment.After treatment,plasma Hcy and NT-proBNP were significantly reduced than those before treatment and after treatment(P<0.05).During follow-up,the two groups showed no elevated liver enzymes and muscle enzymes and lead to withdrawal from happening.Conclusion Strength-ened atorvastatin treatment can significantly reduce Hcy and NT-proBNP in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of Hashimoto's diseaseconcomitant with thyroid carcinoma. Methods Clinical data of 74 cages of thyroid carcinoma occuring on the background of Hashimoto's disease were retrospectively analyzed. Results All cases were papillary carcinoma pathologically.The serum TGAb and McAb level elevated in 56 and 68 cases,respectively.While TPOAB level was all elevated.45 cages underwent unilateral thyroideetomy and contralateral subtotal thyroidectomy,1 case did bilateral near total thyroidectomy,26 cases did unilateral thyroidectomy.and 2 cases with bilateral thyroidectomy.All cases underwent combined central region lymph nodes dissection(positive rate was 27%,20/74),10 cases underwent modied lymph node resection.69 cases were followed up rangins from 1 month to 7 years,with median length of 29 months.4 cases were re-admired for modified lymph nodes resection. Conclusion TGAb、McAb、FNAB and ultrasound is the main procedure forscreening Hashimoto's disese accompanied with thyroid carcinoma preoperatively.Radical thyroideetomy iS the therapy of choice.

Objective To explore the influence of fasudil on plasma hydrogen sulfide(H2S)and N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide( NT-proBNP) in patients with chronic pulmonary heart disease.Methods According to the digital table,102 patients with chronic pulmonary heart disease were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group, each group in 51 cases.The patients in the control group were treated through the conventional treatment,while the patients in the observation group were treated through the conventional treatment plus fasudil. They were treated for 14 days.The mean pulmonary artery pressure( MPAP) ,plasma H2 S and NT-proBNP were detec-ted.Results After treatment,the total effective rate in the observation group was 96.1%,which was higher than 86.3%in the control group(χ2 =4.046,P<0.05).MPAP in the two groups of patients were significantly decreased, and the observation group decreased more significantly than the control group(t=7.246,P<0.05).After treatment, plasma H2S were significantly higher,and the observation group increased more significantly(t=2.856,P<0.05), plasma NT-proBNP in two groups after treatment were significantly reduced,and the observation group decreased sig-nificantly(t=10.706,P<0.05).Conclusion Fasudil can be significantly improved plasma H2S and NT-proBNP in patients with chronic pulmonary heart disease.

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive malignancy with fairly poor prognosis. Innovative treatment based on improved understanding of the genetic alterations of SCLC is awaited. Recently, a number of potential targets or important oncogenic pathways have been identified by the next generation sequencing or other systematic genomic analysis in SCLC. In this review, we summarised the new ifndings of genetic characteristics in SCLC.

Objective To evaluate the effects of ultrasonic scalpel and traditional electrocautery on postoperative complications in axillary dissection for breast cancer treatment.Methods The clinical data of 92 breast cancer patients with axillary dissection were analyzed retrospectively.The surgical proce-dures were randomly chosen by patients,including 37 cases with ultrasonic scalpel and 55 cases with elec-trocautery.Both groups were compared in operation time,number of harvested lymph nodes,postoperative drainage in 24 h,seroma formation rate,and drain removal time.Results There were no significant differ-ences in operation time[(148.2 ±30.4)min vs(143.5 ±40.8)min],number of harvested lymph nodes (17 nodes vs 16 nodes),and drain removal time[(16.0 ±5.3)d vs(16.7 ±4.4)d]between ultrasonic scalpel group and electrocautery group(P >0.05 ).There were significant differences in postoperative drainage [(118.8 ±65.8)ml vs(159.2 ±71.3)ml]and seroma formation rate(8.1% vs 20%)between ultrasonic scalpel group and electrocautery group(P <0.01).Conclusion For breast cancer,ultrasonic scalpel is similar to electrocautery in axillary dissection,but it can reduce postoperative complications.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) has become one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide.With the advancement of stem cell technology,tissue engineering and biomaterials,cell-based therapy has been inspiring for many degenerative diseases.For its unique advantages,AMD has become one of the most promising fields for cell-based therapy,which involve retinal pigment epithelium(RPE)cells,induced differentiation of neural retina cells and related cytokine regulations.RPE cells can be derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESC) or Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS).Recently hESC-derived RPE cells have been applied to patients with dry AMD with initial success in clinical trials.In terms of tissue engineering,studies are focused on factors affecting the long-term survival of transplanted cells,including tissue scaffolds,soluble hybrid materials and scaffold anchoring.This article briefly reviews the RPE differentiation,neural retina differentiation and related cytokines of cell-based therapy and scaffolds,materials,and cell-scaffolds interactions of tissue engineering in AMD treatment.

Objective To study the dosimetry of mono isocenter irradiation technique in radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Methods Conventional and mono isocenter irradiation techniques were used to simulate irradiation of the phantom and nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients with Siemens primus linear accelerator equipped with asymmetric collimators. Dose uniformity?isodose distribution and field overlap were measured at the plane of junction with TLD and film dosimeter on the phantom. The reproducibility of the set up was tested on patients with verification films. Results For an applied dose of 1?Gy, TLD dosimetry showed that the mean dose at the junction of fields were 1.01 ?Gy for the mono isocenter technique as compared to 1.09 1.13?Gy for the conventional technique. An ideal isodose distribution at the junction with mono isocenter technique was found by film dosimetry. The reproducibility of the set up was obviously better for the mono isocenter technique, with less field overlap (1mm) and set up deviation (0.5?mm) than those (6 14?mm and 3?mm) of the conventional technique. Conclusions This investigation of junction dosimetry confirms the potential advantage of the mono isocentric technique. Not only does it lead to superior dosimetry in the plane of junction but also associates with a better reproducibility of the set up.
