Objective To investigate the effects of Atorvastatin Combined with valsartan on the degree of coronary artery lesion and the level of serum lipoprotein and C reactive protein in patients with coronary heart disea.Methods 95 cases of patients with coronary heart disease from September 2015 to September 2016 in our hospital were randomly divided into observation group and control group,the control group were treated with atorvastatin,observation group of patients in the control group patients on the basis of the combination of valsartan treatment,severity of coronary artery disease,serum lipid and protein levels in patients with C reaction protein levels before and after treatment were compared between two groups.Results After treatment,the patients in the observation group were fibrous plaque,calcified plaque,lipid plaque,mixed plaque were significantly decreased,and lower than that of control group,and control group before and after treatment of fibrous plaque,calcified plaque had no obvious change after treatment,the observation group were HDL,LDL,TG,TC were(2.12±1.01),3.27±0.94),(1.53±0.98),(3.35±1.78)was significantly higher than the control group,the difference was significant,2 months after treatment,3 months to observe the levels in patients with C reactive protein were(10.27±1.78)and(7.26±2.63)was significantly lower than the control group with significant difference,with statistical significance(P<0.05).Conclusion Atorvastatin Combined with valsartan can help to reduce the coronary plaque,regulate lipid metabolism,reduce the level of C reactive protein.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value and clinical significance of phosphorylated signal transducer and activa-tor of transcription 3(pSTAT3)in malignant pleural effusion(MPE)caused by lung adenocarcinoma.Methods 47 pleural effusion samples were collected and detected by using liquid-based cytologic test (LCT).Furthermore,the expression of pSTAT3 was detec-ted by using the method of immunocytochemistry in all of the specimens.Results Among the 47 cases of pleural effusion,40 cases of MPE were caused by lung adenocarcinoma and 7 cases were benign pleural effusion,which were confirmed by clinical manifesta-tion,biopsy and imaging data.The positive expression rate of pSTAT3 was 80.0%(32/40)in MPE caused by lung adenocarcino-ma,significantly higher than benign group(P <0.05).13 cases of MPE caused by lung adenocarcinoma and 7 cases of benign pleural effusion were diagnosed with liquid-based cytologic test alone.The other 27 cases were undetermined and needed to be differentiate between adenocarcinoma and atypical mesothelial cells.However,32 cases of lung adenocarcinoma and 7 cases could be clearly diag-nosed if liquid-based cytologic test was used combined with immunocytochemistry detection of pSTAT3 expression.Only 8 cases were undetermined.Diagnosis of grey area was significantly narrowed.There was significant statistical significance between the two methods(P <0.05).Conclusion High expression of pSTAT3 is related to the MPE caused by lung adenocarcinoma.Detection of pSTAT3 expression can be used as a new method in the diagnosis of MPE caused by lung adenocarcinoma.pSTAT3 may play an important role in the development of the MPE.

Objective:To observe the effect of non-vitrectomy in the treatment of idiopathic macular epiretinal membranes (IMEM).Methods:This study is a randomized controlled trial. From December 2017 to December 2018, 60 IMEM patients (60 eyes) diagnosed in Weifang Eye Hospital were included in the study. BCVA, intraocular pressure (IOP) and OCT were performed in all patients. The BCVA examination was performed using the international standard visual acuity chart, which was converted to logMAR. The CMT was measured by OCT. According to the surgical methods, the patients were divided into non-vitrectomy group and control group, 30 patients (30 eyes) in each group. The age ( t=1.723), logMAR BCVA ( t=1.703), CMT ( t=-0.956), IOP ( t=-1.434) were not significantly different between the two groups ( P=0.090, 0.094, 0.343, 0.157). 23G vitreous cutting system was used in all eyes. The macular epiretinal membranes was removed by non-vitrectomy in the non-vitrectomy group and by vitrectomy in the control group. The relevant examination with the same equipment and methods before the operation at 1 week and 1, 3, 6 months after operation. The time of surgery, the changes of BCVA, CMT and postoperative complications in the two groups were observed comparatively. Variance analysis of repeated measurements was performed for the comparison of BCVA, CMT and IOP after surgery in the two groups. Wilcoxon rank sum test of two independent samples was performed for the degree of vision improvement. The incidence of postoperative complications was compared by χ2 test. Results:At 6 months after operation, BCVA increased in 24 eyes (80%) and unchanged in 6 eyes (20%) in the non-vitrectomy group. Compared with preoperative BCVA, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). BCVA increased in 25 eyes (83.4%), unchanged in 4 eyes (13.3%) and decreased in 1 eye (3.3%) in the control group. Compared with preoperative BCVA, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in BCVA improvement degree after operation ( Z=-0.26, P>0.05). At 6 months after operation, the average logMAR BCVA was statistically significant compared with the preoperative in the non-vitrectomy group ( P=0.002, 0.005) and control group ( P=0.004, <0.001). Visual stability occurred 1 month after operation in the non-vitrectomy group and 3 months after operation in the control group. The effective operative time of the non-vitrectomy group and control group was 4.50±1.41 and 15.50±2.33 min, respectively. The difference of effective operation time between the two groups was statistically significant ( t=-22.12, P <0.05). After surgery, no significant complications were found in the non-vitrectomy group. In the control group, there were 3 eyes with low IOP and 1 eye with macular hole during operation. Conclusions:Non-vitrectomy and vitrectomy have similar effects on IMEM. Non-vitrectomy has short effective operation time, faster recovery after surgery and no obvious complications.

The cDNA of cattle Ghrelin gene was amplified from abomasum fundic gland mRNA of Qinchuan Cattle by RT-PCR. PCR product was cloned into the T vector pGM-T to construct pGh-T1 for sequencing. Then the cDNA was subcloned into the prokaryotic expressing plasmid vector pET32a (+) and transformed into host Escherichia coli strain BL21 (DE3) for expression. The expression of pGh-32 mature Ghrelin protein was induced by IPTG and was identified by SDS-PAGE. The expression product was observed with soluble protein and inclusion body. Western blotting showed that the recombinant protein was recognized by his-antibody specifically. The protein was purified by Ni-NTA column and was used to inject rabbits to obtain polyclona antibody. ELISA result showed that the antibody titer was 1:12 800. The immunohistochemistry test between the hypothalamus arcuate nucleus and the antibody showed that fusion protein had biological activity. This will provide a basis for further study on the biological function of Ghrelin protein to growth and development and fat deposition of cattle.
