Objective To study the the effectiveness of Entecavir on serum transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) in patients with decompensated cirrhosis .Methods Eighty patients with decompensated cirrhosis were randomly divided into two groups ,the control group(n=40 cases) and the observation group (n=40 cases).The pa-tients in the control group were treated through the conventional treatmeat ,while the patients in the observation group were treated through the conventional treatment plus entecavir .They were treated for 24 weeks.Liver function,HBV DNA and serum TGF-β1 were detected.Results ALT,Tbil and ALB were improved after treatment in both groups (t=6.724,13.306,3.064,4.172,2.924,3.172,all P<0.05).They were more significantly improved in the obser-vation group than that in the control group (t=2.469,2.160,3.064,all P<0.05).HBV-DNA negative rate in the observation group was higher these in the control group (χ2 =4.82,P<0.05).Serum TGF-β1 in both groups were decreased after treatment(t=6.842,8.062,all P<0.01).There was a significant difference between two groups (t=3.178,P<0.05).Conclusion Entecavir can decrease serum TGF-β1 in patients with decompensated cirrhosis .

Objective To investigate the feasibility of exposing cephalic vein with horizontal incision on the chest and the successful rate of implanting pacing leads using guide wire and split sheath. Methods Right cephalic vein was separated with horizontal incision on the right lateral upper part of chest in 220 patients with permanent pacing indication. The pacing lead was advanced through the cephalic vein directly or by using a guidewire and a split sheath if the direct approach was unsuccessful. The subclavian venous puncture through the incision was used finally to implant the endocardial lead when the cephalic approach failed. All pacemakers were placed in the subcutaneous package at the inner part of the incision. Results Cephalic vein was well exposed with horizontal incision. Additionally, it is safe and convenient to puncture the subclavian vein through this incision. The successful rate of implanting pacing leads directly through cephalic vein was only 71% with single lead and 58% with dual pacing leads, respectively. However, it increased to 94% with single lead and 88% ( P

Objective To explore the impact of duration of catheter on incidences of PUR,UTI and reinserting catheter following LAVH,in order to determine the best time for withdrawing catheter.Methods 139 patients in keeping with the selected criteria were randomly divided into the non-catheter group,indwelling one-day and two-day group.The incidences of PUR,UTI and reinserting catheter were analyzed.Results There was significant difference in PUR and UTI among the three groups,and no difference was seen in reinserting catheter among them.Conclusions The catheter should be withdrawn as early as possible to prevent UTI.

With the advancement of society and development of medicine,how to improve the humanistic quality of medical graduate students becomes an important subject for medical graduate student education.Graduate school of Capital Medical University takes a series of effective measure to improve humanistic quality of medical graduate student in these years,and try hard to make students become persons with humanistic ability in the graduate education.

This article reviewed the reform of the graduate student course study mode in Capital Medical University(CCMU),which included three aspects:the problem of course study,the measures of course study reform and the effect of course study reform.Then,it put forward some new opinions about the reform of course study in the future.

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is a commonly used technology in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedure. It has higher resolution and repeatability, and more importantly, it can make the vascular structure visiable which shows the plaque morphology and component, compared with traditional coronary angiography. Most researches indicated that IVUS can help doctors find out the optimized stent size, stent malapposition,stent disexpansion,and procedure complication, thus reduce the incidence of restenosis and stent thrombosis. IVUS has been widely applied in research about the predictors of PCI complication, these results benefit us to make better decision on PCI procedure. In this article, we reviewed the studies based on IVUS technology during the last 10 years and summrized according to restenosiss and stent thrombosis with BMS (bare metal stent) and DES (drug eluting stent) .

Objective To investigate the significance of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2),vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) protein expression and angiogenesis in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods Tissue sec- tions from 40 HCC patients were examined immunohistochemically for protein expression of COX-2 and VEGF.Mi- crovessel density(MVD) was counted by endothelial cells immunostained by anti-CD34 antibody.Results The ex- pression of COX-2 protein in well differentiated HCC was stronger than that in moderately differentiated HCC and poorly differentiated HCC(P

Objective To investigate the chemopreventive potential of salvianolic acid B against 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene(DMBA)-induced hamster buccal pouch carcinogenesis with respect to angiogenesis. Methods(Sixty) male Syrian golden hamsters were randomly divided into 4 groups(group A and B,n=20;group C and D,(n=10).) DMBA solution(0.5% in acetone) was applied topically to the right cheek pouch of male Syrian golden hamsters in group A and B,while animals in group C were painted with acetone,3 times a week for 6 weeks.Animals in group D received neither DMBA nor acetone in the first 6 weeks.Two days after the last treatment of(DMBA,) animals in group B and D received salvianolic acid B daily(10 mg/kg) by gavage,while animals in group A and C received same volume of saline,for the next 12 weeks.At the end of the experiment,animals were sacrificed and tissue samples were collected for histopathological and immunohistochemical examination. Results Salvianolic acid B significantly decreased the incidence of squamous carcinoma(P
