Objective To investigate the clinical effects of treatment of chronic pulmonary heart disease (CPHD) at acute stage with sodium ferulate and Ciwujia injection. Methods 90 cases of CPHD at acute stage were recruited into treatment group 1, treatment group 2 and control group. The control group was treated with consistent inhalation of oxygen,antibiotics, and symptomatic therapies like relieving cough, removing sputum, and stopping wheeze. The treatment group 1was treated with sodium ferulate, Ⅳ 0.2g, once daily for successive 14days, in addition to the conventional treatment. The treatment group 2 was treated with Ciwujia Injection, 100ml Ⅳ, once daily for successive 14 days. Observe the curative effect and the changes of blood gas analysis indexes (PAo2, PaCO2, SAO2) and bemorheological indexes (whole blood high-cutting viscosity, whole blood low-cutting viscosity, whole blood recovery viscosity, erythrocyte aggregation index, and HCT) before and after treatment. Result Compared with the control group, both treatment groups got improvement in blood gas analysis indexes and hemorheological indexes and curative effect, but no significant difference between the two groups (P＞0.05).Conclusion both sodium ferulate and Ciwujia injection had good results in treating CPHD at acute stage, and there was no difference between the two medicines in terms of curative effects.

BACKGROUND:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s can be differentiated into myocardial cel s induced by 5-azacytidine in vitro, which provides an opportunity for cel transplantation in the treatment of heart disease. OBJECTIVE:To study the induction effects of 5-azacytidine at different concentrations on the myocardial differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s in rats. METHODS:Passage 3 bone marrow mesechymal stem cel s were incubated with DMEM containing 0, 5, 10, 20μmol/L 5-azacytidine for 24 hours, and then the induced medium was replaced by DMEM containing 5%fetal bovine serum for subsequent 28-day culture. Afterwards, expression of cardiac troponin I was detected by immunocytochemical method. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Cel death occurred at 24 hours after 5-azacytidine induction, which was more obvious in the 20μmol/L group than the 5 and 10μmol/L groups. The positive expression of cardiac troponin I was significantly lower in the 5μmol/L group than the 10 and 20μmol/L groups (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the 10 and 20μmol/L groups (P>0.05). These experimental findings indicate that 5-azacytidine can induce the differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s into myocardial cel s in vitro, and its optimal concentration is 10μmol/L.

T cells redirected to specific antigen targets with engineered chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) are emerging as powerful therapies in hematologic malignancies.Various CAR designs,manufacturing processes,and study populations,among other variables,have been studied and reported in clinical trials.The accumulating data supporting CAR-T cells therapy for disease such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)and acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) highlight what may well become the next sea change in the care of patients with all types of hematologic neoplasia.The scientific symposium on CAR-T cells therapy inspires the mounting enthusiasm regarding this new treatment strategy.Here,the results of the reported clinical trials and the outlook for CAR-T cells therapies were reviewed and discussed.Many questions remain in the field of CAR-T cells directed to hematologic malignancies,but the encouraging response rates pave a wide road for future investigation.

Objective To investigate the effects of oral calcium and active vitamin D on bone mineral density and balance function in senile osteoporosis patients.Methods A prospective casecontrol study was conducted on 216 senile osteoporosis patients who met the inclusion criteria.Patients were given oral calcium and active vitamin D for 12 months.The data values of BMD,balance function,falls incidence and bone pain were compared before versus 6 and 12 months after treatment.Results There were significant differences in BMD of lumbar vertebrae and femur neck,static balance function assessed by the single-leg stance timed tests with closed eyes,dynamic balance function assessed by the Star Excursion Balance Test(SEBT) in directions of east,southeast,south and southwest(all P＜0.05).The incidence of falls was decreased 12 months after treatment as compared with pre-treatment(5.6％ vs.12.5％).The bone pain had no significant difference before versus after treatment(P＞0.05).Conclusions Oral calcium and active vitamin D could increase BMD,improve the balance function and decrease the risk of falls in senile osteoporosis patients.However,it has no significant improvement on bone pain within a short period.
