Objective To investigate the effect of low molecular weight heparin calcium combined with breviscapini in treating a-cute exacerbation of elderly chronic pulmonary heart disease and its mechanism.Methods 86 patients with acute exacerbation of elderly chronic pulmonary heart disease in our hospital from October 2011 to June 2013 were randomly divided into two groups. There were no significant differences in age,gender and disease condition between the two groups.44 cases were in the therapy group and the other 42 cases were in the control group.Both two groups received the routine therepy.On this basis the therapy group was added with low molecular weight heparin calcium and breviscapini.Then the improvement of clinical symptoms and the changes of plasma nitric oxide (NO)and endothelin-l (ET-1)after treatment were observed in the two groups.Results The total effective rates in the therapy group and the control group were 90.1%and 71.4% respectively;the levels of plasma NO and ET-1 after treatment in the two groups were significantly improved,but the improvement in the therapy group was better than that in the control group with the statistical difference between them(P <0.05).Conclusion Low molecular weight heparin calcium combined with breviscapini can significantly improve the symptoms in the ederly pulmonary heart disease,decrease the lung arterial press,re-lieve the load of right ventricle and affect the levels of plasma NO and ET-1 with less adverse reactions.

HOXA10 gene plays an essential role in differentiation of the endometrium and in human reproduction. The aim of this study was to investigate the regulatory effect of sex steroids and HB-EGF on HOXA10 gene in Ishikawa cells. Ishikawa cells were incubated with 17-beta estradiol (10(-8) mol/L), medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) (10(-6) mol/L), RU486 (10(-5) mol/L) or HB-EGF (10 ng/mL) for 48 h respectively. The expression of HOXA10 gene was detected by immunofluorescence, reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blotting. Our results showed that either estrogen alone, progestin alone or progestin combined with estrogen could significantly increase the expression of HOXA10 gene 48 h after the treatment (P<0.05). But estrogen combined with progestin and RU486 could inhibit the up-regulation by estrogen and progestin. HB-EGF could elevate the expression of HOXA10 gene 48 h after the treatment (P<0.05). It is concluded that both estrogen and progestin can up-regulate the expression of HOXA10 gene in Ishikawa cells, but RU486 can inhibit the effect and HB-EGF can elevate the expression level of HOXA10 gene.

Objective To investigate the relationship between myeloperoxidase(MPO) and ankle brachial index(ABI) in patients with htypehypertension.Methods A total of 133 patients were enrolled in this study,and divided in to htypehypertention group(n=72),non-htypehypertension group(n=30) and normotension group(n=31).Their Hcy,ABI and MPO levels were measured and compared.Results The ABI in htypehypertention group and non-htypehypertension was significantly lower than that in normotension group (P<0.05),ABI in non-htypehypertension group was lower than that of htypehypertonsion group(P<0.05).MPO and CRP in the htypehypertension group was significant higher that those of normotension group(P<0.05).The ABI was negatively related with the serum MPO and CRP levels in htypehypertention group (r=-0.712,-0.722,P<0.05).Conclusion ABI is closely related with MPO,and play an important role in diagnosis of artery function impairment and high risk of htypehypertension patients.

Objective To investigate the homology of methicillin-resistant Stphylococcusaureus(MRSA)from the neonatal intensive care unit(NICU)of a children's hospital,and evaluate routes and preventive strategies of MRSA healthcare-associated infection(HAI). Methods MRSA strains from neonates and environment of NICU between October and December 2014 were collected,and strains were identified by VITEK-2 microbial analysis system and cefoxitin Kirby-Bauer method,homology of MRSA was analyzed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE ). Results A total of 6 MRSA strains were isolated from NICU between October and December 2014,3 of which (bed-58,70,and 100)were detected MRSA from specimens,MRSA were isolated from neonatal incubator and nurse (nasal swabs and hands)who cared for neonate at bed 58. 5 of 6 MRSA strains were homology,antimicrobial susceptibility testing result showed that No. 1-5 strains were resistant to clindamycin and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid,No. 6 strain was slightly different from No. 1-5 strains,No. 6 strain was susceptible to both clindamycin and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid. PFGE results showed that No. 1-5 strains were of the same type,No. 6 strain was a different type. Conclusion The main route of this MRSA transmission is contact transmission,especially through the hands of health care workers,identification and analysis of epidemic strains by PFGE technique is an effective measures to prevent HAI outbreak and perform epidemiological study.

ObjectiveTo comprehend the similarities and differences of postoperative quality of life between mastectomie avec dissection axillaire and modified radical mastectomy among patients with breast cancer,and in order to supply references for establishing corresponding nursing measures. Methods160patients with early breast cancer were selected,40 patients accepted the mastectomie avec dissection axillaire (the conservative group)and 120 patients accepted modified radical mastectomy (the radical group).The quality of life of patients was surveyed with questionnaires. ResultsThe EORTC QLQ-C30 score of the conservative group was not significant than the radical group.The EORTC QLQ-BR 23 score showed that the conservative group had a better self-evaluation of their configuration. ConclusionsThe patients who accepted the mastectomie avec dissection axillaire will live a better life than those who accepted modified radical mastectomy.

Objectives To investigate the clinical characteristics and diagnosis of Gaucher disease. Methods The clini-cal features, enzyme activities and genetypes of an infant with Gaucher disease II were analyzed. Results The main clinical manifestations of the infant included hepatosplenomegaly, ocular dyscinesia and mental retardation. Gaucher′s cells could be seen in the bone marrow aspirates. Glucocerebrosidase activity was low (0.3 nmol/g/min). Serum chitotriosidase activity was high (87317 nmol/L/min). GBA mutations were M85T (c.371T>C) and R120W (c.475C>T). Conlusions Main features of Gau-cher disease II are hepatosplenomegaly with nerve system injury. Glucocerebrosidase activity and gene analysis are important for the diagnosis of Gaucher disease.
