ObjectiveTo study the relation between white blood cell(WBC) count and left ventricular (LV) remodeling after emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).MethodsA total of 117 ST segment elevation AMI patients having underwent emergency PCI were enrolled.WBC count,cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTnI),high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP) were obtained at admission before PCI.According to the WBC count level,patients were divided into normal WBC group(WBC count ≤ 10 ×109/L,60 cases) and elevated WBC group(WBC count＞ 10 × 109/L,57 cases).Two-dimensional echocardiography was applied after PCI.The relation between WBC count and LV remodeling prognosis including LV ejection fraction(LVEF),LV end diastolic diameter(LVEDD) and LV aneurysm were compared after AMI.ResultsAdmission NT-proBNP,hs-CRP and cTnI peak in elevated WBC group were higher than those in normal WBC group [ (2408.83 ± 3173.39) pg/L vs.(713.11 ± 636.82) pg/L,(39.64 ± 59.51) mg/L vs.(11.23 ± 14.14) mg/L,(107.76 ± 107.71) pg/L vs.(62.23 ± 87.79) pg/L,P ＜0.05].Admission WBC count was positively correlated with LVEDD and negatively correlated with LVEF(P ＜0.01 ).Patients with LV aneurysm had higher WBC count than those without LV aneurysm[ ( 12.59 ± 5.22) × 109/L vs. (9.27 ± 2.60) × 109/L,P =0.001 ].Multivariate analyses showed that admission WBC count ≥ 10.5 × 109/L was an independent determinant of LV aneurysm(OR =22.5,95％ CI:2.69-187.83,P ＜ 0.01 ),and this cut-off value yielded sensitivity of 76.9％ and specificity of 69.7％ respectively.Conclusion Admission WBC count may be considered as a prognostic biological tag in the prediction of the development of LV remodeling after emergency PCI in patients with AMI.

Conclusion on The method is simple and rapid for determining the peptide content and the molecular weight distribution of Ganlong capsule.It can be used quality control method for Ganlong capsule.

Objective:This study investigated the clinical characteristics of multiple myeloma with early death in the era of novel drugs. Methods:Medical records from 188 patients diagnosed from January 2009 to December 2015 were retrospectively reviewed, showing that early death occurred in 19 patients. Early death was defined as death by any cause within the first year after diagnosis. Results:(1) Early mortality was 10.1%, and the median age was 67 years old (range:40-84 years). Eight cases presented IgG type, and 11 cases were non-IgG type. All 19 patients were diagnosed to be at stageⅢin accordance with the Durie–Salmon staging system, and renal insufficiency occurred in 10 patients. In accordance with the International Staging System (ISS), four patients were diagnosed to be at stageⅡ, whereas 15 other patients were at stageⅢ. Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) occurred in six cases, whereas 10 cases pre-sented high-risk patients with cytogenetic abnormalities. Elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was found in five cases, amyloidosis was detected in three patients, and secondary plasma cell leukemia was observed in two cases. The median score of performance sta-tus (KPS) was 70 (range: 20-80). A total of 16 patients were treated with bortezomib, and 3 patients were treated with CADT. (2) Among the 13 patients who were evaluated, the overall response rate was 46.2%(6/13), and the complete response (CR) and near-CR rate was 7.7%(1/13). (3) The median overall survival was 3 (1-11.5) months, although the two patients with secondary plasma cell leu-kemia survived for less than 2 months. (4) Eight patients died of disease progression (42.1%), eight patients died of severe infections (42.1%), and three patients died of thrombotic events. Conclusion:The important causes of early death include the following:high-risk cytogenetics, elevated LDH, EMP, amyloidosis, advanced age, poor performance status, and serious complications during treat-ment. In the era of novel drugs, we should improve early diagnosis rates and explore individualized treatment for high-risk multiple my-eloma for the benefit of a wide range of patients.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and outcome in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) patients with renal insufficiency using bortezomib-or thalidomide-based regimens as front line treatment.Method Sixty-nine newly diagnosed MM patients with renal insufficiency were retrospectively analyzed from August 2006 to August 2014.Results ① Among thirty-nine patients with bortezomib based regimens (the bortezomib group),the overall response rate (ORR) was 89.7％ and complete response (CR) plus near CR(nCR) rate was 41.0％.By contrast,among thirty patients with thalidomide based regimens (the thalidomide group),the ORR was 83.3％ and CR + nCR rate was 26.7％.There was no significant difference of either ORR or CR + nCR rate between bortezomib and thalidomide groups.② The improvement rate of renal function in bortezomib group and thalidomide group were 87.2％ and 60.0％respectively (P =0.012).The median duration time of renal injury was 45 days in 52 patients with renal function improved,which was significantly shorter compared with 222 days in 17 patients without improvement (P ＜ 0.05).There was no difference of median serum creatinine and creatinine clearance rate between the two groups.③ The median progression-free survival (PFS) and the overall survival (OS) were 18 and 33.5 months,respectively in all patients.The three-year and five-year OS rates were 57％ and 17％,respectively.The median PFS was 19 months in bortezomib group,while it was only 12 months in thalidomide group (P =0.023).The median OS were 36.5 months and 25.5 months respectively,which was no difference (P =0.285).Conclusions The newly diagnosed MM patients with renal insufficiency could get higher ORR and the longer PFS using bortezomib-containing regimens as initial therapy.Meanwhile the improvement rate of renal function and the living quality in patients with bortezomib are better compared with those with thalidomide based treatment.

?AlM: To explore the effects of the prescription of reinforcing kidney, nourishing blood, improving eyesight on the oxidative stress model of ARPE-19 cells induced by acrolein.
?METHODS:SD rats serum containing the prescription of reinforcing kidney, nourishing blood, improving eyesight and the content of distilled water in serum were prepared. The effects of the prescription and distilled water in serum at different concentration ( 2. 5%, 5%, 10%, 20% and 40%) on cell vitality was observed by cell counting kit ( CCK-8 ) assay. the logarithmic phase of ARPE-19 cells were pretreated by different concentrations (1. 25%, 2. 5%and 5%) of the prescription serum and distilled water in serum for 24h. Then it was treated with 75μmol/L acrolein for 24h. Cell vitality was observed by CCK-8 assay. The change of cell nucleus was detected by DAPl staining .
?RESULTS: 2. 5% and 5% serum had no effect on cell viability (P>0. 05), while 10%, 20%, 40% serum could inhibit cell viability (P<0. 05). CCK-8 results showed that 2. 5% and 5% the prescription of reinforcing kidney, nourishing blood, improving eyesight serum was better than distilled water in serum (P<0. 05).
?CONCLUSlON: The prescription of reinforcing kidney, nourishing blood, improving eyesight has the protective effect on ARPE-19 cell damage induced by acrolein.

From Nov. 7. 1988 to Nov. 21. 1988, we visited 20 universities' opticians and contact lens stores affiliated with them, and surveyed contact lens wearing process. We found that in all 14 stores, fitting was done by non-ophthalmologists and in 11 stores, wearing was processed without consulting on ophthalmologists.

Objective To investigate the tissue stimulation of copper ions to the smooth muscle of murine terminal rectum.Methods In this study copper needle used for electrochemical therapeutic equipment was punctured into submucosal smooth muscle tissue of terminal rectum above the dentate line in 65 male rats.Rats were then divided into 5 groups (10 rats in each group) at random and sacrificed at 1, 3, 4, 6, 8 weeks after respectively, samples were sent for observation of macroscopic and microscopic tissue reaction.Results Rats had no abnormal histological change in the puncture points grossly. Undor microscope, mild edema was detected in the submucosal layer in 1 week group. Remarkable infiltration of inflammatory cells and lymphocytes subsided 3 weeks after, and disappeared five weeks after.Smooth muscle was normal microscopically in all groups.In contrast, platinum and steel needles caused infiltration of plasma cells and neutrophils, ulcers and small abscess formation in around puncture points.Conclusion Inflammatory reaction was induced after puncturing of copper needle into the tissues and the tissue reaction disappeared after 5 Ws.In contrast with platinum and steel needles, copper needle was non-traumatic to the smooth muscle tissue.
