The adhesion of cells to each other and to the proteins of the extracellular matrix provides a stable environment for cell growth, differentiation and migration. This is a prerequisite for the normal function of the cardiovascular system. Thus the abnormal adhesion function may play a key role in the pathogenesis and development of cardiovascular diseases. To date, there are six main groups of adhesion molecule, and integrins family are the largest and most broadly distributed of the families of cellular adhesion receptors. They have an important role in several aspects of cardiovascular diseases and that its regulated inhibition leads to a reduction in incidence and mortality due to these disorders. This review focuses upon the structure、mechanism and their roles in cardiovascular diseases which maybe facilitate the development of novel therapies.

Object To determine the variety of aconitine and tetrandrin in decocting Radix Aconiti and Radix Stephaniae Tetrandrae separately and compatibly, and explore the mechanism of synergy between above two decocted herbs. Methods TLCS was used to determine the contents of aconitine and tetrandrin in separate decoctions and compatible decoction, respectively. Results The contents of both aconitine and tetrandrin were less in compatible decoction than in separate ones. Conclusion A scientific basis is provided by the compatible decoction of the two herbs for more effective and attenuate use.

Objective:To analyze the advantages of the pressure-regulated volume control (PRVC) mode compared with the traditional continuous mandatory ventilation (CMV) mode about mechanical ventilation efficiency of ventilator.Methods: For the mechanical ventilation situations, the parameters of PRVC mode, V-CMV mode and P-CMV mode under same detecting conditions were tested by using gas analyzer, which based on the ventilation principle of PRVC mode. And then the differences between PRVC mode and CMV modes were analyzed. Results: PRVC mode can supply the almost same tidal volume, and provide lower pressure and higher compliance compare with the V–CMV mode under the same conditions. On the other hand, PRVC mode can supply more tidal volume and slightly higher compliance compare with the P–CMV mode under the same pressure.Conclusion: PRVC mode has combined with the advantages of CMV mode, and it can make sure the target tidal volume, at the same time, reduce the pressure of airway, and improve the compliance for circuit. It also can make the mechanical ventilation to got more efficiency and more safety.

Objective:To detect the interleukin-22(IL-22) levels in peripheral blood of the asthma patients and analyze the relationship between the IL-22 levels and IgE,pulmonary function,fractional exhaled nitric oxide(FENO),and to investigate the role of IL-22 in the pathogenesis of bronchial asthma. Methods:Seventy-eight patients with asthma were selected as experiment group.The asthma patients were divided into increased IgE group (n=46)and normal IgE group(n=32)according to the IgE levels.The asthma patients were also divided into acute attack stage and clinical control stage according to patients' clinical symptoms.In addition, twenty healthy controls were chosen as healthy control group.The plasma IL-22 levels, IgE,forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and FENO levels of the subjects in various groups were detected and compared between various groups.The correlations between the plasma IL-22 levels and IgE, FEV1,FENO were analyzed.Results:The plasma IL-22 level and FENO level of the patients in asthma group were higher than those in healthy control group(P<0.05).The IL-22 level and FENO level of the patients in clinical control stage were lower than those in acute attack stage,but they were still higher than those in healthy control group(P<0.05).The plasma IL-22 level of the patients in increased IgE group was higher than that in normal IgE group(P<0.05).There were significant negative correlations between the IL-22 levels and FEV1 in the asthma patients in acute attack group and clinical control group(r=-0.365 3,P<0.05;r=-0.267 2,P<0.05),but there was no significant correlation between the IL-22 levels and FENO(r=0.011 9,P>0.05;r=0.059 8,P>0.05).Conclusion:The increased expression of IL-22 in peripheral blood of the patients with asthma may participate in the pathogenesis of asthma,and may aggravate the deterioration of pulmonary function of the asthma patients.

Objective To investigate the effects of simvastatin on the abatement of the mRNA,protein expression of RhoA and the improvement of the cardiac remodeling and cardiac disfunction after the myocardiac infarction in rats.Methods Rats were divided into 3 groups: the control group,the myocardiac infarction group and Simvastatin intervened group.After 8 weeks,cardiac weight index and hemodynamics were observed,mRNA and protein expression of RhoA in cardiac muscles was measured. Results Compared with the control group,the cardiac weight index and the mRNA and protein expression were increased in rats with myocardiac infarction and the hemodynamics was worsened(P

AIM: To study the protetive effects of Danshenhonghua Injection (Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae,Stigma Croci,etc) on acute cerebral ischemia in rats. METHODS : The model of acute incomplete cerebral ischemia was built by ligaturing bilateral carotid arteries. Cerebral index,cerebral water content ,capillary permeability of brain,and the change of cerebral morphology in rats were observed. RESULTS : The cerebral index,cerebral water content,capillary permeability of brain decreased remarkably with 7.2,14.4mg?kg -1 of Danshenhonghua Injection,and the injury of brain tissue was also abated by Danshenhonghua Injection significantly. CONCLUSION : Danshenhonghua Injection has the protetive effects on acute cerebral ischemia.

BACKGROUND: The studies concerning rehabilitation robot step later in China, many of which are assisted rehabilitation robot rather than rehabilitation training robot. Currently, the rehabilitation instruments in China can not satisfy the intelligentification and man-machine engineered requirement of robots.OBJECTIVE: Considering the predicament of supply and demand relationship of medical service for rehabilitation, to propose a combined robot system for assisted tele-rehabilitation based on remote operation technology and medical device. METHODS: Considering the safety, magneto-theological damper and direct current machine was adopted to design a combined manipulator, which utilizing tale-robot technology in training limb disability patients. According to the remote setting of rehabilitation therapist, patients could perform rehabilitation exercise, which can realize real-time and precision of stiffness display.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The clients are patients who have upper limbs movement disorders. Through disassembly and combination of the mechanical arms, it can provide different training modes and therapeutic schemes. The adoption of computer network technology allows the patients to accomplish rehabilitation according to the settings of the physicians via internet; the applications of virtual reality technology greatly raise the enthusiasm in patients and improve the rehabilitation effect remarkably.The experimental results show that the system has good applicability and safety.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography(CEUS) in evaluating treatment response of hepatocellular carcinoma after interventional therapy. Methods One hundred and three patients with 136 lesions of hepatocellular carcinoma confirmed by pathology were examined by common color ultrasound (US), contrast-enhanced CT, CEUS and DSA pre- and post-interventional treatment respectively. Results The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of CEUS for focus judgment after interventional therapy were 95.8%, 95.6% and 98. 5% respectively. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of US in detecting tumor deactivation and residue were 92.3% ,77.4% and 83.1% respectively. CEUS were highly consistent with the results of enhanced CT/DSA (Kappa = 0.93) and significantly higher than those of US (Kappa = 0.66). Conclusions CEUS is useful to monitor the efficacy and guide treatment after interventional therapy.
