It is well known that the macrophages play an important defensive role in the innate immune system. During recent years, with the introduction of the concept of chronic low-grade inflammatory diseases and their further intensive study, the activation and balance of macrophage, as well as its inflammatory effects in chronic lowgrade inflammatory diseases, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, and non-alcoholic fatty liver, are gradually becoming a hot topic of current research. The present article mainly gives an overview of the important role played by macrophages in the inflammatory effects in these diseases.

Objective To investigate the effects of pulsed electromagnetic fields(PEMF)on the bone mineral density(BMD)and serum level of transforming growth factor-beta 1(TGF-?1)in the disuse osteoporosis(DOP)rats.Methods Eighty 4-month-old female SD rats were randomly divided into 4 matched groups according to their weight:control group(INT group),DOP group,calcitonin group(CT group)and PEMF group.Rats in INT group were raised with the average amount of food consumed by the DOP rats.Right hindlimbs of rats in DOP,CT and PEMF groups were immobilized by tibia-tail fixation to establish DOP model as Zarzhevsky described.Rats in CT group were injected with calcitonin(2 IU/kg,i.p,once a day),and rats in group PEMF were irradiated with PEMF(8 Gs,15 Hz,a pulse time of 8 ms)immediately after operation.The rats(5 animals per time of each group)were killed at 1,2,4 and 8 weeks after operation and their right hindlimbs were resected.The BMD and serum TGF-?1 concentration were measured with a dual energy X-ray bone densitometer and ELISA respectively.Results Significant difference was observed in the femur proximal BMD between rats with right hindlimb immobilization(DOP group)and INT group 2 weeks later(P

Objective To investigate whether intranasal dexmedetomidine prevents the emergency delirium after sevoflurane-based anesthesia (ASA) in children.Methods Ninety children (ASA I,2 to 7years) undergoing elective tonsillectomy with or without adenoidectomy,were randomly divided into group D1 (intranasal dexmedemidine 1.0 μg/kg),group D2 (intranasal dexmedemidine 0.5 μg/kg),and group NS (intranasal normal saline).Anesthesia was induced with sevoflurane (30 min after intranasal administration) and maintained with sevoflurane in 50/50％ O2/N2O.Heart rate (HR),blood pressure (BP),and hemoglobin oxygen saturation (SpO2) were monitored before intranasal administration to 2 hours after extubation.Time of operation and extubation were recorded.Pediatric anesthesia emergence delirium (PAED) scale,Modified Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario Pain Scale (m-CHEOPS) Pain scale and the adverse effects were observed.Results The PAED scales of group D1 and Group D2 were significantly lower than group NS.No significant differences were found in hemodynamic and respiratory variables,pain scale,time of extubation and adverse effects among three groups.Conclusions Intranasal dexmedetomidine decreased the severity of emergence delirium after sevoflurane-based anesthesia in children without prolonging the time to extubate and affect hemodynamics and respiratory variables.

Objective: To explore influence of trimetazidine on cardiac function, levels of inflammatory factors, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and homocysteine (Hcy) in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) and its therapeutic effect.Methods: A total of 120 patients diagnosed as CHF in our department were selected.According to random number table, they were randomly and equally divided into routine treatment group and trimetazidine group (received trimetazidine based on routine treatment group, 20mg/time, twice/d), both groups were treated for six months.Left ventricular relaxation time (LVRT), E peak decrease time (EDT), early diastolic peak velocity/late diastolic peak velocity (E/A), left atrial diameter (LAD), levels of interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, BNP and Hcy were measured and compared between two groups before and after treatment.Results: After six-month treatment, total effective rate of trimetazidine group was significantly higher than that of routine treatment group (93.3% vs.80.0%, P=0.032);compared with routine treatment group after treatment, there were significant reductions in LVRT [(92.1±4.6)ms vs.(74.5±2.7)ms], EDT [(165.3±5.1)ms vs.(139.2±3.9)ms] and LAD [(41.1±2.6)mm vs.(33.1±1.8)mm], and significant rise in E/A [(0.89±0.21) vs.(1.16±0.51)] (P<0.01 all);and significant reductions in serum levels of IL-6 [(16.3±2.8) ng/ml vs.(11.3±1.3) ng/ml], TNF-α [(3.17±0.99) ng/ml vs.(2.01±1.12) ng/ml], BNP [(311.4±27.9)pg/ml vs.(278.2±31.3) pg/ml] and Hcy [(15.6±4.2) pg/ml vs.(11.3±2.7) pg/ml] in trimetazidine group, P<0.01 all.Conclusion: Trimetazidine can significantly improve heart function, reduce inflammatory factor levels and inhibit atrium remodeling in patients with congestive heart failure, and the therapeutic effect is significant.

Objective To study the effect of 3-n-butylphthalide on expression of MMP-2 ,MMP-9 andβ-APP in rats following chronic cerebral hypoperfusion at molecular level .Methods Seventy-two male Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham operation group ,ischemic group ,and bu-tylphthalide group (24 in each group) .Rats in ischemic group and butylphthalide group were di-vided into postischemic 7 ,14 ,30 ,60 d subgroups (6 in each group) .Expressions of β-APP ,MMP-2 , MMP-9 in each group were detected by Western blot .Results The β-APP expression level was significantly higher in postischemic 14 d ,30 d ,60 d subgroups than in postischemic 7 d subgroup (P<0 .05 ,P<0 .01) ,and in postischemic 30 d ,60 d subgroups than in postischemic 14 d sub-group (P< 0 .01) .The β-APP expression level differed greatly in 30 d and 60 d butylphthalide subgroups (P<0 .01) .The MMP-2 expression level was significantly higher in postischemic 60 d subgroup than in postischemic 30 d subgroup (P<0 .05 ,P<0 .01) .Theβ-APP and MMP-2 ex-pression levels were significantly higher in ischemic group and butylphthalide group than in sham operation group (P<0 .05 ,P<0 .01) ,and significantly lower in butylphthalide group than in is-chemic group (P< 0 .01) .Conclusion MMP-2 and β-APP tend to change similarly and are in-volved in blood brain barrier destruction and amyloid deposition .Butylphthalide intervenes in am-yloid deposition by downregulating the expression of MMP-2 andβ-APP .

Objective To summarize the method of forearm skin flap with dorsal interosseous artery placed by turning the proximal end of the flap to the distal side of the wound to repair skin and soft tissue defect of palm and thumb of hand,and put forward the key points of operation.Methods From 2008 to 2013,the forearm skin flap with interosseous dorsal artery to repair skin and soft tissue defect of palm and the part between thumb and index finger in 20 cases.Dorsal interosseous artery in the forearm is passing through between superficial and deep layers of extensor muscles and sends out 5-13 cutaneous branches to dorsal antebrachium skin.The large skin flap has good blood supply with high survival rate.Results All flaps survived,and good results were achieved in all 20 cases.Conclusion The flap preserved two main arteries from upper limb with good blood supply,and the amount of blood supply of the flap depended on the size of flap,and the wound of donor site can be directly sutured up or covered with free skin graft,thus minimizing the alteration of appearance and function of donor area.

The prediction of survival time for advanced cancer patients undergoing palliative care has important clinical and social value. The prediction of survival time of advanced cancer patients includes clinical prediction and statistical prediction. Due to the late start of palliative medicine in China, it is particularly important to evaluate the widely used survival prediction tools in clinical practice. In this paper, we will review the common survival prediction tools of advanced cancer patients from the perspective of Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine,to provide reference for development and application of a survival prediction system in China.

With the rapid development of general anesthesia technology and the occurrence of new types of inhalation and intravenous anesthetics,safety and comfort requirements of general anesthesia become increas-ingly higher. Therefore,emergence agitation and its adverse consequences gradually receive more and more atten-tion . Thus the etiology and prevention of emergence agitation is an important issue in pediatric anesthesia at pres-ent. In recent years, some achievement has been made in emergence agitation following general anesthesia in children. This article will summarize the related factors,possible mechanisms and prevention strategics of pediat-ric emergence agitation.
