Objective To detect the effect of Danhong injection on cerebral vascular hemodynamic parameters, Cys-c and Hcy in patients with transient cerebral ischemia(TIA), and analyze its clinical effect. Methods 80 TIA patients were selected. The patients were divided into a control group and a Danhong injection observation group with 40 cases each group. The control group was given conventional treatment, and the observation group was given conventional treatment and Danhong injection. The treatment course was 14 d. The hemodynamic parameters, Cys-c and Hcy expresssion were observed. Clinical effect was analyzed. Results After treatment, average blood flow speed (20.07 ± 4.28 cm/s vs. 16.17 ± 2.46 cm/s, t=5.230), average blood flow (11.14 ± 2.24 ml/s vs. 9.54 ± 1.65 ml/s, t=3.637), and cerebral vascular resistance (1 602.4 ± 98.3 kPa/s·m-1 vs. 1 738.5 ± 104.3 kPa/s·m-1, t=6.024) was significantly improved in the observation group than those in the control group (P<0.05). Cys-c (0.48 ± 0.11 mg/L vs. 0.71 ± 0.14 mg/L, t=8.170) and Hcy (17.45 ± 3.26 μmol/L vs. 23.62 ± 4.12 μmol/L, t=7.428) were significantly decreased in the observation group than those in the control group (P<0.05). The recurrence rate of TIA and cerebral infarction were 7.5% and 5% in observation group, which were significantly lower than that of 22.5% and 15% in control group (χ2=2.451, P<0.05;χ2=2.630, P<0.05).Conclusion Danhong injection can reduce the expression of Cys-c and Hcy and recurrence rate of TIA and cerebral infarction.

Objective To explore the curative effect of 308 nm excimer laser on child vitiligo and nursing measures. Method Fourty-eight children with vitiligo were treated with 308 nm excimer laser and nursed with targeted psychological treatment, skin and diet nursing.Result After treatment,6 of them got recovered(12.5%),24 remarkably improved(50%),15 slightly improved(31.2%)and 3 ineffectively treated(6.2%).Conclusions 308 nm excimer laser is effective for the treatment of child vitiligo.High quality nursing can ensure and improve the efficiency of the 308 nm excimer laser.

ObjectiveTo investigate the gene expression profiling of articular chondrocyte and the function and pathway of the differentially expressed genes in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) by using gene microarray technique.MethodsThree patients with OA,three patients with rheumatoid arthritis(RA) and three traumatic controls without arthritis were selected and were divided into OA versus RA and OA versus the traumatic control groups,and their articular cartilage cells were cultivated.The gene expression profiling was performed by human genome oligonucleotide microarray technique.The differences of gene expression of the articular chondrocyte in OA versus RA group and OA versus the traumatic control group were compared respectively by two class unpaired test using significant analysis of microarray software.The function and pathway of these differentially expressed genes were analyzed by using the database of Molecule Annotation System.ResultsThe number of differentially expressed genes was 145 when OA compared with the traumatic control,in which 70 were up-regulated and 75 were down-regulated; and the number was 281 when OA were compared with RA,in which 94 were up-regnlated and 187 were down-regulated.The Gene Onto-logy (GO) functions of the differentially expressed genes of OA in each group were related to pathological and immune courses including cellular process,physiological process,cell division,biological regulation and cell signal transduction.The statistically significant pathways of these genes in each group included apoptosis pathway,cell cycle pathway,P53 signaling pathway,Fas signaling pathway,NO pathway,apeptotic cascade pathway,focal adhesion pathway, ECM-receptor interaction pathway, tight junction pathway, adhesive bonding pathway,actin cytoskeleton regulation pathway,bone remodeling pathway,chondroitin sulfate biosynthesis pathway,Jak-STAT signaling pathway,Wnt signaling pathway,Toll recepor signaling pathway,cell adhesion molecules pathway,T cell receptor signaling pathway,and s o on (P＜0.05).They displayed not only marked dif-ferences in GO function and gene pathway of differentially expressed genes between OA versus RA group and OA versus the traumatic control group,but also displayed the significant overlapping of the differentially expressed genes and pathways between the two groups.ConclusionThe differentially expressed genes and pathways of articular chondrocytes involve apoptosis,extracellular matrix and cytokines in OA,which contri-bute to further study of early warning genes of OA.

ObjectiveTo explore the prevalence and clinical features of hyperuricemia and its influencing factors in elderly male people aged 90 years and above. MethodsOne hundred elderly male people aged 90 years and above who underwent routine health examination in our hospital in 2007 were selected in the study. Serum uric acid level was examined by uricase-peroxidase method, and all patients were divided into hyperuricemia group and control group according to the serum uric acid level. Clinical and biochemical indications were compared between the two groups, and logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of hyperuricemia in elderly people. ResultsThe serum uric acid level was increased in 20% of the elderly people, and the prevalence of gouty arthritis was 1%. The levels of blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine were higher in hyperuricemia group than in control group[(10. 98±4.29) mmol/L vs. (6. 87± 1.86) mmol/L, (125.2±25.9)μmol/L vs. (93. 4±19. 8)μmol/L;both P<0.05)3. The patients in hyperuricemia group had a higher prevalence of hypertension and hypertriglyceridemia, and a higher proportion of diuretic application than patients in control group(P<0. 05). Logistic regression analysis showed that serum uric acid level had the most remarkable correlation with serum creatinine(OR= 1. 969), followed by fasting blood glucose (OR= 1. 310)and blood urea nitrogen(OR = 1.161). There was negative correlation between serum uric acid level and plasma cholesterol level(OR = 0. 802). ConclusionsThe prevalence of hyperuricemia is high in elderly people aged 90 years and above, while the incidence of gouty arthritis is low. Renal function impairment, metabolic syndrome and thiazide diuretic are the major factors for hyperuricemia.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of Budesonide/formoterol to control asthma under real-life conditions.Methods A muhi-center, open label, non-interventional study was conducted.Asthma control after 12 week therapy with Budesonide/formoterol was assessed by Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) and modified Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ5).Results A total of 360 asthma patients were recruited,including 228 adult patients and 132 child patients.After 12 weeks' therapy,all the patients' medium value of ACQ was decreased significantly from 2.03 (adults 2.20, children 1.74) at baseline to 0.60 (adults 0.78, children 0.29) (P < 0.0001), and the medium value of ACQ5 was also decreased significantly from 2.4 (adults 2.24, children 1.76) at baseline to 0.47 (adults 0.62, children 0.20) (P < 0.0001).Conclusion Budesonide/formoterol is effective in asthma treatment, by which most asthma patients obtain and maintain clineal control.
