Objective To explore the characteristics of TCM syndromes of acute coronary syndrome(ACS). Methods Clinical data of 127 ACS patients were collected and then a database was established.After that,the distribution of syndrome patterns was analyzed.Results The incidences of the following excess syndrome patterns were in a decreasing sequence:stasis syndrome,phlegm syndrome,cold syndrome and heat syndromes.The incidence of stasis syndrome was 90.5%,which was much higher than other excess syndromes.The incidences of the following deficiency syndrome patterns were in a decreasing sequence:heart-Qi deficiency syndrome,heart-Qi exhaustion syndrome,heart-yin deficiency syndrome,heart-Qi depletion syndrome,heart-kidney deficiency syndrome and heart-blood deficiency syndrome.The incidence of heart-Qi deficiency syndrome was 75.6%,which was much higher than other deficiency syndromes.The incidences of the stasis syndrome and cold syndrome in acute myocardial infarction(AMI)were higher than those in unstable angina(UA),and the incidences of heart-Qi deficiency syndrome and heart-Qi exhaustion syndrome in AMI were higher than those in UA(P

Objective To investigate the apoptosis of peripheral blood lymphocyte cells in patients with HAM/TSP and the roles of Fas/FasL system, TNF ? and Bcl 2 protein in occurrence and progression of HAM/TSP Methods The single cell gel electrophoresis (comet assay) was used to detect the apoptosis of lymphocyte cells in patients with HAM/TSP The presence of sFas, sFasL in the serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with HAM/TSP was evaluated by using an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) The Fas, TNF ? and Bcl 2 protein expressions were quanlitatively determined by flow cytometry from 8 cases of HAM/TSP, and compared with the controls and other inflammatory neurological diseases (OIND) Results (1) The apoptotic ratio of lymphocyte cells in patients with HAM/TSP (13 63%?0 48%) was significantly increased as compared to the controls (1 63%?0 57%, P 0 05) Levels of sFas and sFasL in CSF from patients with HAM/TSP ((0 19?0 07) ng/ml and (0 24?0 08) ng/ml) were both significantly increased than those from OIND ((0 11?0 06) ng/ml and (0 01?0 01) ng/ml, P 0 05) or patients with OIND (34 84?9 63, P

Objective: The current study investigate the immunological reaction state of Th1/Th2 cytokines expression in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs) from patients with lung cancer,and evaluate the effect of astragalus(AG) on it.Methods:The PBMCs from patients were divided into 4 groups:one group as pre-cultured group,and the other cells were cultured with 10%AG,20% AG and without AG (control group) ,respectively.The PBMC from 23 lung cancer patients as well as 19 healthy controls before and after the culture with AG were collected respectively. The Thl/Th2 cytokines expression were detected by RT-PCR considering IFN-r and IL-2 as Th1 cytokines and IL-4,IL-6,IL-10 as Th2 ones. Results:The results showed that the mRNA expression rate of IL-4,IL-6,IL-10 in PBMCs from lung cancer patients was obviously higher than that from the healthy controls( P

Objective To investigate the effects of posterior focus on the voice quality of hearing-impaired children.Methods A total of 15 cases of 3~6 years old hearing-impaired children with posterior focus and 20 cases of 3~6 years old without oral resonance disorders were included in this study.Fundamental frequency (F0), frequency standard deviation (F0SD), fundamental frequency perturbation (jitter), amplitude perturbation (shimmer) and normalized noise energy (NNE) on each group of children of /(ae)/ were extracted and analyzed by Dr.Voice.Results Hearing-impaired children with posterior focus problems mainly showed the voice disorder of the hyperthyroidism type.The abnormal rate of shimmer values was the highest of hearing-impaired children with posterior focus, followed by F0, jitter and F0SD,and the minimum was NNE.The average value of the voice parameters was greater than hearing-impaired children without oral resonance disorders.The jitter and shimmer of children with posterior focus showed significant differences (P<0.05) compared to the hearing-impaired children without oral resonance disorders.Conclusion Children with posterior focus have a high rate of voice disorders and mainly change the voice jitter and shimmer.

OBJECTIVE To study the phenomenon of hepatitis B surface antigen(HBsAg) and antibody(HBsAb) both positive in blood samples.METHODS Using electro-chemo-luminescence immune system E170 to detect HBsAg and HBsAb in clinical samples and retest the both positive cases by another two reagents for HBsAg and another three reagents for HBsAb.RESULTS All 7332 samples showed 140 both HBsAg and HBsAb positive(1.9%) and 73 of them were retested for HBsAb by another three reagents which gave altogether 24 positive results,which was not related to each other.Those gave higher HBsAb value by E170 showed higher positive rate by Abbott reagent.CONCLUSIONS HBsAg and HBsAb both positive results are not rare.It may be due to the interactions between the patient and the infected hepatitis B virus.Besides,the quality of reagents and correct lab operating procedures may also affect the test results.

Objective:To compare the accuracy and safety between percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) positioning device and traditional positioning device which posit entry point of pedicle of vertebral arch by using the C-arm X-ray.Methods: 117 patients with spinal centrum compression fractures were divided into positioning device group (57 cases) and Kirschner wire group (60 cases) depended on the entry point marked by the preoperative C arm X-ray irradiation. To compare the excellence rate, operation time and exposure times between PKP positioning device and traditional device.Results: The positioning times of the PKP positioning device group and Kirschner wire group were (2.3±0.9)min and (6.8±1.3)min, respectively. The exposure times of the two group were 1.6 times and 4.7 times, respectively. And both of the two differences were statistical significant (t=21.062,t=18.521;P<0.05). The puncture success rates of the two group were 100%. And the excellence rates of them were 93% and 87%, respectively, and the difference also was statistical significant (x2=2.761,P>0.05).Conclusion: There are series of advantages in developed PKP positioning device, such as portable, easy and simple control, higher accuracy and safety, less positioning time and exposure times of C arm X-ray.

Nowadays the education of medical professional ethics has been obviously weakened.We can see that from some mainly expressions: There are many prejudices about medical ethics and the medical ethics education seems not very effective.But the medical professional ethics education is an important part of medical education,which directly affects the healthy development of medical and hygienic enterprise.And we must correct it,enhance it.We should inherit the good quarters of traditional medical ethics,reestablish the humanism medicine,promote virtue of medical personnel increasing,and establish the professional ethics of medical students before they become doctors.

Objective To study the effect of metoprolol combined with benazepril on cardiac structure and heart function in patients with heart failure and the treatment of hypertension in the elderly. Methods 120 cases of elderly hypertensive patients with heart failure from June 2011 to June 2015 were studied, according to the random number table method, they were randomly divided into combination group and control group.The two groups were given symptomatic and supportive therapy, the control group on the basis of conventional treatment were given antihypertensive drugs of benazepril; combination treatment group were given metoprolol on the basis of control group. After treatment, the clinical efficacy of the two groups were evaluated, the changes of cardiac structure in the two groups were recorded and analyzed before and after treatment, and the blood pressure and cardiac function were analyzed. Results The total effective rate of the combined group was 91.67%, the control group was 78.33%, there was significant difference between the two groups (χ2=4.1830, P=0.0408). After 6 months of treatment, the blood pressure, cardiac structure and 6min walking distance were significantly improved in the two groups (P<0.05). The above indicators in combination group were significantly better than those in the control group (P<0.05). The complication rate in combination group was 8.33%, 13.33% in the control group, there was no statistically significant between two groups (χ2=0.7764, P=0.3782). Conclusion Metoprolol combined with antihypertensive treatment can significantly improve the clinical efficacy of the treatment, improve the cardiac structure and function.
