Objective To study the effect of Tongxinluo capsule on vascular endothelial injure in patients with diabetes mellitus.Methods 60 patients with diabetes mellitus were randomly divided into common group and Tongxinluo group.The former was treated with insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents,the latter was added with Tongxinluo capsule oral based on aforesaid therapy.Plasma von Willebrand Factor(vWF)and superoxide dismutase(SOD)were measured before and after treatment.Results After treated with Tongxinluo,The plasma level of vWF was lower than that of common(P<0.01),as well as the level of lipid(P<0.01),while the plasma level of SOD was higher(P<0.01).Conclusion Tongxinluo can protect the of vascular endothelial cells from diabetes mellitus,that may play a role in prevention of the complication.

Objective To investigate the status about non-motor symptoms (NMS) in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and the effect on quality of life. Methods 50 PD patients and 50 normal controls were investigated with the NMS questionnaire and the Healthy Survey short form (SF-36), and analysed with Spearman correlation. Results 98% of PD patients presented NMS, and recent memory loss, restless legs,constipation were the most frequent. All the NMS were more frequent than in the controls (P<0.05) except sexual desire, sexual difficulties and nausea or vomiting. All the dimensions of SF-36 were significantly different between the groups (P<0.05). The symptoms of constipation,decline in recent memory, decreased attention, restless legs and sleep disorders correlated with the scores of SF-36 (P<0.05). Conclusion NMS is common in PD patients, and impacts their quality of life.

Objective:To compare oxytocin combined with ergometrine with oxytocin alone in terms of primary prophylaxis for postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) at the time of cesarean section (CS).Methods:This was a multicenter double-blind randomized controlled interventional study comparing ergometrine combined with oxytocin and oxytocin alone administered at CS. From December 2018 to November 2019, a total of 298 parturients were enrolled in 16 hospitals nationwide. They were randomly divided into experimental group (ergometrine intra-myometrial injection following oxytocin intravenously; 148 cases) and control group (oxytocin intra-myometrial injection following oxytocin intravenously; 150 cases) according to 1∶1 random allocation. The following indexes were compared between the two groups: (1) main index: blood loss 2 hours (h) after delivery; (2) secondary indicators: postpartum blood loss at 6 h and 24 h, placental retention time, incidence of PPH, the proportion of additional use of uterine contraction drugs, hemostatic drugs or other hemostatic measures at 2 h and 24 h after delivery, the proportion requiring blood transfusion, and the proportion of prolonged hospital stay due to poor uterine involution; (3) safety indicators: nausea, vomiting, dizziness and other adverse reactions, and blood pressure at each time point of administration.Results:(1) The blood loss at 2 h after delivery in the experimental group [(402±18) ml] was less than that in the control group [(505±18) ml], and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). (2) The blood loss at 6 h and 24 h after delivery in the experimental group were less than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). There were no significant differences between the two groups in the incidence of PPH, the proportion of additional use of uterine contraction drugs, hemostatic drugs or other hemostatic measures at 2 h and 24 h after delivery, the proportion requiring blood transfusion, and the proportion of prolonged hospital stay due to poor uterine involution (all P>0.05). (3) Adverse reactions occurred in 2 cases (1.4%, 2/148) in the experimental group and 1 case (0.7%, 1/150) in the control group. There was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). The systolic blood pressure within 2.0 h and diastolic blood pressure within 1.5 h of drug administration in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05), but the blood pressure of the two groups were in the normal range. Conclusion:The use of ergometrine injection in CS could reduce the amount of PPH, which is safe and feasible.
