Objective To explore the causes of secondary breast deformity after breast conservative therapy and its preventive methods.Methods 30 cases were selected from the patients with secondary breast deformity of more than 1 year after breast conservative therapy,and more than half a year after radiotherapy and chemotherapy,and no local recurrence and distant metastasis occurred.After cicatrectomy and contracture loose solution,different methods were used according to varying degrees of the secondary breast deformity to reconstruct and repair the deformity.Results Three reconstructive methods were conducted.Local mammary flaps were used in 7 patients,latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap in 21 patients,and transverse rectus abdominal musculocutaneous flaps in 2 patients.The shape and feeling were satisfactory in 30 patients with reconstructive breasts,in which 23were excellent (76.7 ％),and 7 were good (23.3 ％).All the patients were followed-up for average 2.5 years,and they were survived without tumor recurrence.Conclusions The secondary breast deformity after breast conservative therapy could be effectively prevented,and successfully reconstructed and repaired with different procedure according to varying degrees of the secondary breast deformity.As a result,the shape and feeling of reconstructive breasts are satisfactory.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence and associated risk factors of pre-hypertension and hypertension in young and middle-aged population in Nanjing.Methods:Subjects of the study were those who underwent physical examination in the physical examination center of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from 2009 to 2016. The prevalence and risk factors of pre-hypertension and hypertension in young (aged 18-44 years old) and middle-aged people (aged 45-59 years old) were analyzed.Results:A total of 142 857 participants aged 18-59 years old were analyzed. Among them, 64 220 cases in the pre-hypertension group and 13 912 cases in the hypertension group. The prevalence of hypertension was 9.74% (12.51% in males and 5.82% in females). The prevalence of pre-hypertension was 44.95% (53.31% in males and 33.15% in females). In the middle-aged group, the prevalence of pre-hypertension and hypertension were 51.68% and 15.13%, respectively, which was higher than that in the young group (37.95% and 4.13%, respectively). The prevalence of pre-hypertension and hypertension in 2013-2016 was 45.37% and 10.65%, respectively, which was higher than that in 2009-2012(44.52% and 8.78%). In addition, the prevalence of abnormal blood glucose metabolism, abnormal blood lipid metabolism and abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism in the pre-hypertension group was higher than that in the normal blood pressure group, but lower than that in the hypertension group ( P<0.001). A logistic regression analysis indicated that age, overweight or obesity, hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia were risk factors of pre-hypertension in male. Age, overweight or obesity, hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia and hyper-low density cholesterolemia were associated with hypertension in male and with pre-hypertension and hypertension in female. Conclusions:Middle age, overweight/obesity, elevated fasting plasma glucose, elevated triglyceride and elevated total cholesterol were risk factors of pre-hypertension and hypertension in both men and women. Intervention on the related risk factors should be conducted as early as possible.

ObjectiveTo develop a quantitative method for simultaneously determining multi-components in Rhei Radix et Rhizoma using one chemical reference substance.MethodsThe contents of multi-components were calculated by the UV relative correction factors (RCFs) of chrysophanol,physcion,and rhein to emodin.ResultsThe values of RCFs at 274 nm for rhein,chrysophanol,and physcion to emodin were 0.712,0.674,and 1.051.The calibration curves were linear over the ranges of 0.02-4.08,0.02-4.12,0.07- 12.92,and 0.02-3.68 μg/mL for rhein,emodin,chrysophanol,and physcion,respectively.The contents of emodin in 18 samples were determined by the extemal standard method,and the contents of the other three anthraquinone aglycones were calculated according to their RCFs.ConclusionNo significant difference is found in comparison with the classical method,indicating that the RCFs have high reliability within their linear ranges and could be used in quality control of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma.The quantitative analysis of multi-component with a single marker is especially suitable for herbal medicines containing unstable or hard to be purified components as quality control markers.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the efficacy and safety of levofloxacin and capreomycin combined with chemotherapy regi-men in the treatment of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis(MDR-TB). METHODS:84 MDR-TB patients were randomly divided in-to observation group (42 cases) and control group (42 cases). Observation group received 0.75 g Capreomycin sulfate for injec-tion,addint into 100 ml 0.9% Sodium chloride injection,intravenous infusion,once a day+0.4 g Levofloxacin hydrochloride tab-let,orally,once a day+0.2 g Protionamide tablet,orally,3 times a day+0.3 g Pasiniazid tablet,orally,3 times a day+0.5 g Pyra-zinamide tablet,orally,4 times a day. Control group received 0.4 g Amikacin sulfate injection,adding into 100 ml 0.9% Sodium chloride injection,once a day,intravenous infusion+0.3 g Ofloxacin tablet,orally,twice a day+Protionamide tablet (the same dose with observation group)+Pasiniazid tablet (the same dose with observation group)+Pyrazinamide tablet (the same dose with observation group). All patient were given 0.1 g Glucuronolactone tablet,orally,3 times a day. The treatment course for both group was 12 months. Sputum negative conversion rate,negative conversion time,symptom improvement time,lesion absorption and lung cavity closing,and cell immune indexes (CD4+CD25+/CD4+,CD4+CD25+CD127low/CD4+),IL-17 level before and after treatment,and the incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups were observed. RESULTS:The sputum negative conversion rate,ab-sorption rate,lung cavity closing and narrowing cases in research group after 3,6,9,12,18 months treatment were significantly higher than control group,sputum negative conversion time,symptom improvement time in observation group were significantly lower than control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). Before treatment,there were no significant differ-ences in CD4+CD25+/CD4+,CD4+CD25+CD127low/CD4+,IL-17 level in 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,CD4+CD25+/CD4+,CD4+CD25+CD127low/CD4+ in 2 groups were significantly lower than before,and observation group was lower than control group,IL-17 level was significantly higher than before,and observation group was higher than control group,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). And there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups (P>0.05). CON-CLUSIONS:Levofloxacin and capreomycin combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of MDR-TB,it can reduce T regulatory cells,increase IL-17 level,do not increase the incidence of adverse reactions.

Objective: To assess the predictive value of coronary lfow reserve (CFR) for diagnosing coronary stenosis by transthoracic Doppler echocardiography (TTDE) in patients with hypertension.
Methods: A total of 132 patients scheduled for elective coronary angiography (CAG) due to chest pain were enrolled. The patients were divided into 2 groups: Hypertension group,n=95 and Non-hypertension group,n=37. The CRF of left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) was measured by ATP stress TTDE at 2 days before CAG in all patients and the results were compared between 2 groups. ROC curve was conducted to assess CFR value in diagnosing LAD stenosis which was deifned by LAD luminal diameter stenosis ≥ 70% in relevant patients.
Results: The condition of LAD stenosis was similar between 2 groups (42.1% vs. 35.1%),P>0.05. The CFR value in Hypertension group was lower than that in Non-hypertension group (2.39 ± 0.86) vs. (2.87 ± 1.12),P<0.05. The ROC curve for diagnosing LAD stenosis in all patients were at 0.884 (95% CI 0.83-0.94,P<0.0001), in Hypertension group at 0.874 (95% CI 0.81-0.94,P<0.0001) and in Non-hypertension group at 0.915 (95% CI 0.82-0.98,P<0.0001). With the cut-off point of CFR ≤ 2.2, it had the diagnostic sensitivity, speciifcity and accuracy in all patients were at 80.3%, 83.5% and 80.3%; in Hypertension group were at 77.5%, 80.0% and 78.9%, in Non-hypertension group were at 69.2, 91.7% and 83.8% respectively.
Conclusion: The patients of hypertension combining chest pain had decreased CFR which implied the dysfunction of their microcirculation. CFR had the better diagnostic value for predicting the signiifcant LAD stenosis in such patients.

Objective To study the protective effects and mechanism of aqueous extract of arctium lappa root on vas?cular endothelial cell injury in hypertensive rats. Methods The hypertensive rat model was induced by N-nitro-L-argi?nine. Rats were randomly divided into normal control group, model control group, positive control group (aptopril 15 mg/kg), low concentration of aqueous extract of arctium lappa root (0.5 g/kg), medium concentration of (1 g/kg) and high concentra?tion of (2 g/kg) groups. After six weeks of continuous intragastric administration, the systolic blood pressure levels at tail ar?tery were measured at 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 29, 36 and 42 d after treatment. And other indicators related to inflammato?ry factors were detected including C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin (IL)-6. The intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) level was detected by taking samples of thoracic aorta. Results (1) The systolic blood pressure level at tail ar?tery was significantly lower in aqueous extract of arctium lappa root group than that of model control group ( P<0.05). (2) The aqueous extract of arctium lappa root can significantly improve the vascular endothelial cell injury, suppress vascular endo?thelial cell loss and blood cell adhesion, and cell proliferation with collagen fibers in muscle membrane. ( 3) The serum levels of IL-6, CRP and vascular endothelial ICAM-1 were significantly reduced in aqueous extract of arctium lappa root group than that of model control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Aqueous extract of arctium lappa root can significantly improve vascular endothelial cell injury in hypertensive rats. The mechanism may be related to the inhibition of inflammatory cyto?kines like IL-6, CRP and the expression of ICAM-1, and the improvement of chronic inflammatory response in vascular en?dothelium of hypertensive rats.
