Objective To investigate the clinical value of surem eystatin C and urinary transforming growth factorβ1(TGF-β1)in patients with severe eclampsism.Methods Serum cystatin C and urinary transforming growth factorβ1 were examined in 35 severe eclampsism women(experiment group,n=35)and normal late pregnant women(control group,n=35).Results The levels of serum cystatin C and urinary transforming growth factorβ1 were both significantly increased in experiment group than those in control group(both P<0.01).The serum level of cystatin C was positively correlative with urinary TGF-β1 level in experiment group(r=0.581,P<0.05).Conclusion The detection of serum cystatin C and urinary transforming growth factorβ1 is useful to assess renal function lesion in patients with severe eclampsism,which contributes to the diagnosis and treatment of severe eclampsism.

Thrombolysis is still an important treatment modality in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in a hospital without percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) facility. However, the optimal treatment after thrombolysis is still unclear. Conservative treatment after thrombolysis was recommended in the past. "Guidelines for percutaneous coronary intervention (2009)" also suggested that the condition of STEMI patients should be evaluated to determine whether the patient should be transferred to a hospital with PCI facility. But this suggestion lacksed evidence-based support. In recent years, several clinical trials suggested that immediate transfer to the nearest interventional centre for PCI was plausible regardless of success or failure in thrombolysis in local hospital, and this might reduce the incidence of cardiovascular events in patients with STEMI.

Objective To investigate mRNA expression levels of cathepsin B,cathepsin L and uPA in non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) samples,and analyze the relationship between three genes and clinicopathological factors.Methods Real-time fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR was used to quantify the relative expression levels of cathepsin B,cathepsin L and uPA mRNA in 39 NHL patients without chemotherapy or radiotherapy and 15 patients with lymph node reactive hyperplasia.Relationship between their expression and clinico-pathological factors was analyzed.Results mRNA expression levels of cathepsin B,cathepsin L and uPA in NHL group were significantly higher than those in the control group (0.403 vs 0.128,0.209 vs 0.057,0.459 vs 0.031,all P ＜ 0.05).The mRNA expression levels of cathepsin B,cathepsin L and uPA were correlated with each other in NHL.The mRNA expression levels of cathepsin B,cathepsin L and uPA in advanced staged NHL were markedly higher than those in early staged NHL (0.453 vs 0.341,0.204 vs 0.085,0.372 vs 0.196,all P ＜ 0.05).mRNA levels of cathepsin B,cathepsin L and uPA were higher in NHL patients sensitive to chemotherapy than in those resistant to chemotherapy(0.401 vs 0.556,0.085 vs 0.205,0.316 vs 0.499,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The high expression of cathepsin B,cathepsin L and uPA could be detected in NHL,and their expression has a close relationship with the biological behavior characters of NHL.The dynamic examination of cathepsin B,cathepsin L and uPA may be used as clinical auxiliary diagnosis and prognosis of NHL.

Psychotherapy is a kind of medical treatments based on interpersonal interaction that is highly context-dependent.While psychotherapy is an important treatment in clinical work and its effectness has been confirmed with wide practical application,its adverse effects has received little attention.This article will review the literaturesand discuss the possible side effects and relatedfactors of psychotherapy.

Venetoclax is an important breakthrough in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in recent years. A chemo-free treatment of inducing apoptosis drugs combined with hypomethylating agents is used in the management of AML, which brings hope of long-term survival for the elderly patients or patients who cannot tolerate intensive chemotherapy. However, there are still some patients who are resistant to venetoclax-based regimens. This article introduces the new progress of venetoclax in the treatment of AML in combination with reports at the 62nd American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting.

Heart disease is the major disease that threaten human health. ECG is an important tool for the diagnosis of cardiac disease. As traditional ECG measurement devices have many disadvantages, a non-contact ECG measurement system was designed. With the non-contact electrode based on capacitive coupling, the signals were collected and then they were amplified and filtered. The conditioned analog signal was converted to digital data which was sent to the mobile terminal through bluetooth. Finally, the ECG data was analyzed to extract the key ECG parameters. The results showed that the precise ECG signals can be got with the non-contact electrode and the key ECG parameters can be acquired accurately.

The activities of acid phosphatase and ?-1,4 glucosidase and the concentration of citric acid in the semen of 51 cases of chronic prostatitis were determined.The mean value was 694.33?346.61 Bodansky units for acid phosphatase,43.84?24.70mIU/ml for ?-1,4 glucosidase,and 3.26 ?2.37 mg/ml for citric acid.The activity of acid phospohatase and the concentration of citric acid were significantly lower in the patients with chronic prostatitis than in the normal subjicts while the activity of ?-1,4 glucosidase showed little changes.The findings suggest that the functions of the prostate was severely imparired and that of the epididymis remained normal in patients with chronic prostatitis.

Objective In order to evaluate the curative effects and mechanism of Ulinastatin on acute pancreatitis(AP). Methods 40 patients with AP were enrolled in this prospective study. They were comparable in dispearing time of symptoms and physical signs and laboratory data. Results The symptoms and physical signs of patients were significantly relieved in Ulinastatin group,and the labrotory data,such as the blood amylase and urine amylase recovered normal after five days with Ulinaststin. Conclution Ulinaststin has good clinical value in AP.

MicroRNA is a type of endogenous noncoding small molecular RNA with a length of 19-25 nucleotides. MicroRNAs are involved in almost all key biological processes, such as cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and hematopoiesis, via repres-sion of target gene expression. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common type of pediatric cancer. It is a heterogeneous disease with different clinical signs, morphology, immunophenotype, and cytogenetics. Currently, several microRNAs have implicated aberrant expression in ALL and play an important role in cancer initiation and development. MicroRNA expression pattern is associated with clinical feature, prognosis, and treatment. Therefore, microRNAs could act as a novel marker to help scientists learn about the pathogenesis of ALL and to provide more effective treatment options.

Objective To determine the effect of tea polyphenols on oxidative damage and (apoptosis) in human bronchial epithelial cells induced by low-dose cigarette smoke condensate (CSC).Methods We prepared CSC. 3-(4,5-dimethyl thiazoly) 2,5-diphenyl-tetrazoliun bromide (MTT) assay was used to determine the growth of cultured human bronchial epithelial cells (HBE135-E6E7). Fluorescent-chemiluminescent analyzer was used to measure cell reactive oxygen species (ROS) level. DNA ladder method was used to detect HBE135-E6E7 apoptosis. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect Bcl-2 and Bax mRNA expression.Results Concentration of intracellular ROS in the CSC group and CSC + TP group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P＜0.01); concentration of intracellular ROS in the CSC + TP group was significantly lower than that in the CSC group (P＜0.01). Apparent DNA breakage of the tail belt appeared in the CSC Group,while only a small amount of DNA breakage of the tail belt appeared in the CSC + TP group. Compared with the control group, Bcl-2 mRNA expression was reduced and Bax mRNA expression was increased in the CSC group (all P＜0.01). Compared with the CSC group, Bcl-2 mRNA expression was increased and Bax mRNA expression was reduced in the CSC+TP group (all P＜0.01). Ratio of Bcl-2 mRNA/ Bax mRNA in the CSC group and CSC+TP group was significantly lower than that in the control group (all P＜0.01).Conclusion TP can antagonize CSC-induced airway epithelial cell apoptosis through the effective removal of ROS, promoting Bcl-2 mRNA expression and inhibiting the expression of Bax mRNA.
