ObjectiveTo observe the therapeutic efficacy of L-carnitine on patients with microvascular angina (MVA).Methods48 MVA patients were divided randomly into the trail group and control group with 24 cases in each group. The patients of the trail group were treated with L-carnitine vein dropping, those of the control group took isosorbide-mononitrate orally. All treatment lasted for 12 weeks.ResultsAfter the treatment, attack times of MVA and consumption of nitroglycerin of the patients in two groups decreased obviously ( P<0.01). The time for inducing angina, the time for 0.1 mV ST segment depression, the total exercise time and ∑ST depression by exercise were improved obviously ( P<0.05). The serum total cholesterol, triglyceride and low density lipoprotein cholesterol decreased by 20.3%, 32.7% and 16.6% respectively, and high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels increased by 34.5% in the trail group ( P<0.01).ConclusionL-carnitine has affirmative effect on MVA, same as isosorbide-mononitrate.

Objective To study the intervention effect of montelukast on thymus and activation-regulated chemokine(TARC) in the children with asthma.Methods 100 children with asthma were randomly divided into montelukast (LTRA) group ( n = 50) and budesonide (BUD) group ( n = 50), the LTRA group was treated with montelukast, the BUD group was treated with budesonide,50 children without asthma as control group were inhaled NS.Before and after 7 days treatment,the asthma symptoms, FEV1,concentration of TARC were measured.Results Before treatment,the concentration of TARC in asthma group was significantly higher than control group (P < 0.05 ).After treatment, the concentration of TARC in BUD group and LTRA group was significandy decreased( P < 0.05 ), but the difference between these two groups was not significantl( P > 0.05 ), the concentration of TARC in control group was not significantly decreased(P > 0.05 ) ;the symptoms were better after treatment in BUD group and LTRA group,(P <0,05) ,and the pulmonary function was significantly improved after treatment in BUD group and LTRA group ( P < 0.05 ).Conclusion TARC was the important factor in children asthma.Montelukast could block the production of TARC ,and was more convenient and safe for children asthma.

Cyclodextrin metal-organic framework (CD-MOF) as a highly porous supramolecular carrier could be one of the solutions to the insolubility of isosteviol (STV). The solubility of STV was lower than 20.00 ng/mL at pH 1.0 and pH 4.5, whilst its solubility increased to 20,074.30 ng/mL at pH 6.8 and 129.58 ng/mL in water with a significant pH-dependence. The
