Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 is closely correlated with the pathophysiological processes of cerebral edema,inflammatory reaction and apoptosis after intracerebral hemorrhage.As a specific brain-derived protein,the different levels of S100B may present different physiological and pathological effects.Its concentration can reflect the degree of central nervous system damage.This article reviews the action mechanisms of MMP-9 and S100B in intracerebrai hemorrhage.

In-stent restenosis after interventional treatment remains an unsolved and important clinical problem. The proliferation and migration of arterial smooth muscle cells are key events frequently followed by vascular restenosis after angioplasty and continuous inflammation may also be the other important factor for the restenosis after stenting. Study of the pathogenesis of restenosis may find some potentially novel therapeutic pathways for attenuating in-stent restenosis.

This paper discusses the brachytherapy with tumour interventional radiology technology.The structure and security of the intravascular iridium-192 sources afterloader are reviewed in comparison with general afterloader.

Objective · To explore the clinical application value of hysteroscopic transcervical resection of endometrium (TCRE) combined with levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (Mirena) in the treatment of adenomyosis. Methods · A total of 112 cases of adenomyosis patients were divided randomly into the combination group and Mirena group. The combination group (56 cases) was treated by TCRE endometrium endometrial resection, assisted Mirena treatment after operation. Mirena group (56 cases) was treated by Mirena only. The follow-up lasted 36 months after treatment, including measures of the volumes of menstrual bleeding, hemoglobin levels, dysmenorrhea scores, uterine volume, serum CA125 levels and incidences of complications.Results · The median follow-up duration was 42 months, and the three-year follow-up rate was 73.21% for the combination group and 50% for the Mirena group. After surgery, the volumes of menstrual bleeding of patients in 3-36 months decreased significantly, with an increase in hemoglobin level and a decrease in serum CA215 level and dysmenorrhea scores. Compared with their situations before surgery, the difference was significant (P<0.05). A comparison of uterine volume before and after surgery showed that there is a significant decrease in the uterine volume in both groups in6-12 months after surgery (P<0.05).Twenty-four months after surgery, it shows thatthe combination group has a much more significant decrease in uterine volume [(171.3±34.8) mm3] than Mirena group [(213.7±38.6) mm3] (P<0.05). The hysterectomy rate in Mirena group was significantly higher than that in the combination group (12.50% vs 5.36%); the ring expulsion rate was 16.07% in Mirena group and 5.36% in the combination group, and the break through bleeding happeningrate was 8.93% in Mirena group and 3.57% in the combination group. After 36 months an irregular small amount of vaginal bleeding rate was 62.25% in Mirena group, while it was only 12.50% in the combination group. There was significant differencewhen comparing above indices between two groups (P<0.05). There was no obvious differences in most common side effects of both groups. Conclusion · HysteroscopicTCRE combined with Mirena reduces significantly the irregular menstrual bleeding caused by merely applying Mirena. It has a prominent clinical efficacy and can be an effective approach in treatment of adenomyosis.

OBJECTIVE: To study the feasibility and the generalizability of the Remote fitting models of hearing AIDS from primary hospitals. METHOD: we comparative analyzed the speech recognition scores and satisfaction of 45 cases with traditional hearing AID fitting and with a hearing aid remote test respectively. RESULT: 45 cases were analyzed in each group, including traditional hearing AID fitting model and remote test, and 35 recovered in traditional fitting model group, and the recovery rate was 77.8%; Remote fitting model rehabilitation 42 cases, recovery rate was 93.3%, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). In 6 weekend wear hearing AIDS, traditional fitting model of speech recognition rate increased by 19.40% on average, the average distance fitting model speech recognition rate increases by 27.47%, the average distance fitting model than traditional fitting the speech recognition rate increased significantly more (8.07%). Effect of hearing aid international questionnaire results suggest: 45 cases using traditional model fitting hearing AIDS patients, 33 cases (73.3%) satisfaction, 12 cases (26.7%) patients after use. Remote and 45 cases of using hearing AIDS fitting model, satisfied with 40 cases (88.9%), 5 cases (11.1%) patients after use. CONCLUSION the curative effect and the satisfaction of remote fitting models of hearing AIDS on hearing impairment are better than that in patients with traditional fitting models. Therefore it is more worthy of clinical application especially in basic level hospitals.

Objective To observe the influence of high-salt intake on the blood pressure,weight of left ventricle,myocardial microRNA133a and fibrosis levels by implementing the high-salt diet intervention trial in Dahl salt-sensitive rats and SD rats so as to explore the role of microRNA133a in salt-sensitive hypertensive cardiac fibrosis with high-salt intervention.Methods Sixteen 4-week male Dahl salt-sensitive rats are divided into two groups,8 in the SLS group and 8 in the SHS group.Similarly,sixteen 4-week male SD rats were divided into two groups. Systolic blood pressure of the rats was measured by the indirect tail-cuff method.Left ventricular mass index was measured after the rats were sacrificed. The expression levels of left ventricular myocardial tissue collagen I (LVMI),connective tissue growth factor (CTGF)expression and microRNA133a were observed.Results Blood pressure in high-salt groups both increased (P<0.01).Compared with that of SD rats,blood pressure was more significantly increased in high-salt group than in low-salt group of Dahl salt-sensitive rats (P<0.01).After the intervention of high-salt diet,LVMI,CTGF and collagen I expression in Dahl salt-sensitive rats increased more significantly than the low-salt group,with a significant difference (P<0.01);however,there was no significant difference between high-salt and low-salt groups (P>0.05).After the intervention,microRNA133a expression was significantly decreased in all high-salt groups compared with that in low-salt groups (P<0 .0 1 ),and the expression decreased more significantly in high-salt group of Dahl salt-sensitive rats than in high-salt group of SD rats (P<0.05).Conclusion High-salt diet is probably involved in salt-sensitive hypertension myocardial fibrosis by downregulating the expression of myocardial microRNA133a.

OBJECTIVETo explore the clinical efficacy of acupoint catgut embedding therapy on chronic pelvic cavity pain syndrome differentiated as kidney deficiency and stagnation of damp heat, and explore the impacts on plasma P substance (SP), plasma beta-endorphin (β-EP).

METHODSOne hundred and eighty cases were randomly divided into a catgut embedding group (90 cases) and a western medication group (90 cases). In the western medication group, tamsulosin capsules 0. 2 mg were prescribed for oral administration, once a day; indometacin sustained release tablets, 25 mg, three times a day. Totally, the oral administration for 8 weeks was required. In the catgut embedding group, the acupoint catgut embedding therapy was applied to Qugu (CV 2), Shenshu (BL 23), Zhibian (BL 54), Huiyin (CV 1) and Sanyinjiao (SP 6), once every two weeks; the treatment of 4 weeks made one session, and two sessions were required. Before and after treatment, TCM symptom score, NIH-CPSI (the National Institute of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index) score, lecithin body numbers in prostatic fluid, score in SAS (self-rating anxiety scale), score in SDS (self-rating depression scale), the levels of SP and β-EP, etc. were observed in the two groups, and the clinical efficacy was assessed in the two groups.

RESULTS(1) Ten cases were dropped in either group. The total effective rate was 91. 25% (73/80) in the catgut embedding group, higher than 78. 75% (63/80) in the western medication group (P<0. 05). (2) After treatment, TCM symptom score, total score in NIH-CPSI, pain score and the scores in SAS and SDS were all reduced as compared with those before treatment in the two groups (all P<0. 05). After treatment, TCM symptom score, total score and pain score in NIH-CPSI, and the scores in SAS and SDS in the catgut embedding group were both lower than those in the western medication group (all P<0. 05). (3) After treatment, the lecithin body numbers were both increased as compared with those before treatment in the two groups (both P<0. 05), and the result in the catgut embedding group was higher than that in the western medication group (P<0. 05). (4)After treatment, the SP level was lower than that before treatment in the two groups (both P<0. 05); the level of p-EP was increased as compared with that before treatment (both P<0. 05). The SP level in the catgut embedding group was lower than that in the western medication group (P<0. 05); the level of β-EP was higher than that in the western medication group (P<0. 05).

CONCLUSIONThe acupoint catgut embedding therapy apparently relieves the clinical symptoms of chronic pelvic cavity pain syndrome differentiated as kidney deficiency and stagnation of damp heat as well as the condition of anxiety and depression, increases lecithin body numbers in prostatic fluid and β-EP level and reduces SP level.
