Objective To investigate the relationship between coronary myocardial bridge and the symptoms of the patients and its related factors, and to provide evidence for rational treatment. Methods Sixty-one patients di-agnosed as myocardial bridge by coronary angiography and the examination of nuclide myocardial perfusion imaging were recruited and their clinical data was analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into ischemic group and non-ischemic group according to the nuclide imaging, and were followed up on the compliance of β-blocker taking and the symptoms. Results Among the 61 patients ,7 patients were ischemic,and the others were non-ischemic. There was no significant difference on symptoms between the two groups (P>0.05). The prevalence of Grade Ⅲ narrowing was higher in ischemic group (6/7) than that in the non-ischemic group (18/54) (χ~2=5. 009, P = 0.024) ,and the ischemic patients with Grade Ⅲ narrowing were older than those in the non-ischemic patients. Two patients in the ischemic group did not insist on taking β-blocker and their symptoms did not change,40 patients in the non-ischemia group did not insist on taking β-blocker,of which 33 patient's symptoms were improved. The symp-toms of all patients with good compliance of β-blocker taking were improved. Conclusions The symptoms of some patients are unrelated with myocardial bridge and treatment is not recommended.

The effect of chitin on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) injured by oxygen free radicals was investigated in vitro. The degree of injury was determined by the amount of malondialdehyde (MDA) and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) in the culture medium. The results indicated that chitin could reduce the amount of MDA and LDH significantly, showing that chitin could protect HUVECs from oxygen free radicals injury.

0.05).DBP and DEHP obviously induced a decrease in organ body weight ratios of testis and epididymis and an increase in organ body weights ratios of liver.Obvious decrease in the sperm counts,spermatozoon survival rate and significant increase in the rate of the sperm deformation were observed.There was synergism between DBP and DEHP on the testis,epididymis and liver organ body weight ratio,as well as sperm counts,sperm survival and deformation rates.Pathological examination showed the seminiferous tubules were irregular shape,degenerative atrophy and interstitial substance broadening,and the seminiferous epithelium were degeneration.Epididymis epithelium was damaged and few of mature sperm was seen.Conclusion DBP combined with DEHP can cause obvious toxic effects on reproductive function in male rats.DBP and DEHP mixture can strongly affect the sperm quantity and quality.Also,some toxic effects to epididymis are observed.

Objective To study the combined toxic effects of di-n-butyl phthalate(DBP)and di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate(DEHP)on sex hormone and lipid peroxidation in male rats.Methods According to 2?2 factorial analysis,thirty-two healthy and clean adult male SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups,including a control group(given coin oil) and three experimental groups:DBP(1/20 LD50,1.0 g/kg,dissolved in coin oil),DEHP(1/20 LD50,1.7 g/kg,dissolved in coin oil) and DBP+DEHP(1.0 g/kg + 1.7 g/kg,dissolved in coin oil),8 rats in each group,through gavage,once a day,for 8 consecutive weeks.The spectrophotometric method was used to measure the activity of lipid peroxidation SOD,GSH and GSH-Px level in testis homogenate.The activities of ACP,AKP and ?-GT were assessed in testis homogenate.Radioimmunoassay was used to determine the testosterone,LH and FSH levels in the serum.Results There was synergism between DBP and DEHP on the SOD activity in testicle and testosterone level in serum,and there was antagonism between DBP and DEHP on the ?-GT and ACP activity in testicle,as well as the FSH level in serum.Conclusion DBP combined with DEHP can cause obvious toxic effects on reproductive function in male rats.The change of testosterone biosynthetic enzymes and the levels of T in serum and disordered physiologic balances of hypothalamic-pituitarytestis axis may be key factors contributing to the decrease of testosterone,then the decrease of reproductive function in male rats.

AIM: To study the processing principle of Fructus Schisandrae Sphenantherae steamed with wine. METHODS: The content of volatile oil was measured by means of volatile oil measuring method and identified by TLC. The total lignans was determined by spectrophotometry and the water-soluble extractive was measured by determination of extractive method. RESULTS: The volatile oil content in Fruetus Schisandrae Sphenantherae by steaming with wine decreased by 35.3%, TLC showed that a new spot was added; the lignans content had an increase of 28.9% and the water extractive was 2% less than in crude drug. CONCLUSION: Tranditional process is reasonable.

This paper introduces a new method which controls discharge energy accurately. It is achieved by calculating target voltage based on transthoracic impedance and accurately controlling charging voltage and discharge pulse width. A new defibrillator is designed and programmed using this method. The test results show that this method is valid and applicable to all kinds of external defibrillators.

Objective To study the effects of steaming Orange Magnoliavine Fruit with vinegar on the lignan metabolism in rats.Methods The rats were fed with same amount of extracts:Orange Magnoliavine Fruit before and after steaming processing with vinegar. Then plasma samples were collected at different times and determined contents of schisantherin A and deoxyschizandrin by HPLC to draw drug concentration in blood-time curve. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated with DAS2.0 analysis software.Results Pharmacokinetic model of schisantherin A and deoxyschizandrin in rats accorded with one compartment model. Plasma concentration in rats under the condition of Orange Magnoliavine Fruit samples before and after steaming processing with vinegar was:Tmax of schisantherin A was determined with (4.250±1.523), (5.750±1.784)h respectively, Cmax with (2.197±0.995), (2.815±0.842)μg/mL respectively, T1/2 with (2.654±0.377), (3.504±0.856)h respectively. Tmax of deoxyschizandrin was determined with (3.250±1.836), (4.250±1.471)h respectively, Cmax with (1.922±0.773), (2.307±0.602)μg/mL, T1/2 with (2.111±1.185), (3.242±2.126)h. Orange Magnoliavine Fruit before and after steaming processing with vinegar exhibited differences in pharmacokinetic parameters in rats.Conclusion The pharmacokinetic parameters of schisantherin A and deoxyschizandrin showed that the steaming processing with vinegar on Orange Magnoliavine Fruit can slow down lignan metabolism in vivo.

Objective To establish mouse poisoning model by inhaling benzene, and to investigate the induction effect of benzene on the apoptosis of mouse bone marrow cells and its mechanism, and to provide an experimental basis for study on bone marrow toxicity mechanism.Methods 24 male mice were randomly divided into four groups (n=6).The mice in one group were exposed to ambient air (control group)and the mice in the other three groups were exposed to different doses (400,800,1 600 mg·m-3 )of benzene (low,middle and high doses of benzene groups)for 1 5 d in the respective inhalation chambers. At the end of the experiment, the mice were killed. The bone marrow of the mice was obtained. The pathological changes of the bone marrow cells of the mice in various groups were observed under light microscope with HE staining.The apoptotic rates and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP ) of the mice in various groups were detected by flow cytometry, and the expressions of mitochondrial-deperdent apoptosis related gene proteins were determined with immunohistochemistry method. Results The number of distal and central cells in different doses of benzene groups were significantly reduced,and accompanied by blood sinus expansion in high dose of benzene group.The apoptotic rates of the cells in middle and high doses of benzene groups were obviously higher than that in control group (Ρ<0.01),and there were also significant differences between high dose group and low,middle doses of benzene groups (Ρ<0.05).The MMP was significantly decreased with the increasing of benzene doses, and there were significant differences between middle,high doses of benzene groups and control group (Ρ<0.05).The number of Bax,CytC positive cells in different doses of benzene groups and the number of Caspase-9,Caspase-3 positive cells in middle and high doses of benzene groups were significantly increased compared with control group(Ρ<0.05);the number of Bcl-2 positive cells in different doses of benzene groups was decreased(Ρ<0.05),and number of Bcl-2 positive cells in middle and high doses of benzene groups was decreased compared with low dose of benzene group (P<0.05). Conclusion Benzene with certain dose can induce the apoptosis of mouse bone marrow cells, and promote the expressions of mitochondrial apoptosis related gene proteins. Benzene-induced apoptosis through mitochondrial-dependent apoptosis pathway may be an important mechanism of bone marrow toxicity induced by benzene.

Objective To study the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of primary pulmonary peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS). Methods Two cases of primary pulmonary PTCL-NOS were studied and relevant literature were reviewed. Results Case 1 diagnosed as primary pulmonary PTCL-NOS was a 44 years old woman and disease progressed after GLD (Gem+L-OHP+ DXM) chemotherapy regimen. At last, the patient died of respiratory failure after one month. Case 2 diagnosed as primary pulmonary PTCL-NOS was a 46 years old man and reach partial response after CHOP regimen, and still alive now.Conclusion Primary pulmonary PTCL-NOS is very rare. It is easy to be misdiagnosed due to non-specific clinical and imaging manifestations. Acquiring enough tissue specimens for pathologic examination is the key to a definitive diagnosis. At present, there is no standard chemotherapy regimen for these patients, the prognosis is relatively poor.

[Summary] The genotypes of rs6832151 in the 4p14 were genotyped by Taqman probe technique on FluidigmEPl platform in 617 patients with Graves′disease( GD) and 4 915 health control subjects. The result showed thatRs6832151 Gin4p14wasstronglyassociatedwithGD(OR=1.39,P<0.01),withstatisticalsignificancefor three genetic models according to the locus genotyping ( additive model,dominant model,and recessive model,all P<0.01). There was no statistically significant difference in the sizes of goiter between the genotype subgroups(P>0. 05). The result suggests that rs6832151 G in 4p14 is the susceptibility genes of Graves′ disease in Bengbu population, and is related to the high risk of GD.
