This study aims to explore and analyze the condition of concurrent diseases and medicine use of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and western medicine among the patients with insomnia. One thousand and sxity seven cases of data from 20 national hospitals' hospital information system (HIS) databases were collected. The frequent concurrent diseases included hypertension (26.9%), brain blood supply insufficiency (24.93%), cerebral infarction (19.49%), blood lipoprotein disturbance (15.28%), coronary heart disease (14.15%), headache (10.68%), chronic gastritis (8.81%), type 2 diabetes mellitus (7.87%), depressive disorder (7.4%) and anxiety disorder (6.65%). The 10 most frequently-used western drugs included alprazolam (35.99%), aspirin (25.4%), olanzapine (24.18%), cinepazide (23.06%), flupentixol & melitracen (18.74%), zolpidem (18.37%), oxiracetam (15.65%), estazolam (15%), aniracetam (13.4%) and piracetam (13.31%). The 10 most frequently-used TCM included Shuxuening injection (16.4%), Shuxuetong injection (15.18%), extract of ginkgo biloba leaf (14.71%), gastrodin (12.46%), Dengzanxixin injection (11.34%), Xueshuantong (8.53%), Danhong injection (6.37%), compound liquorice tablet (5.81%), Sanqi Tongshu capsule (5.72%) and sowthistle-leaf ixeridium injection (5.34%). Among all combined uses, the most frequent western drug use was alprazolam and olanzapine, while combined use of hypnotic drug and Huoxuehuayu formula is the most frequent. This study concludes that the concurrent diseases mainly include cardio-cerebrovascular diseases, metabolic disorders and anxiety-depression disorders, with increasing tendency of diseases types by ages, especially for cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. The most frequently-used hypnotic is alprazolam in the insomnia patients, and it is worth being concerned about the off-label use of olanzapine as an antipsychotic for the treatment of insomnia However, due to the fact that all cases data are from the inpatients, these findings have some limitations.

?AlM: To evaluate the long - term effects of laser peripheral iridectomy ( LPl ) and trabeculectomy in treating early chronic angle-closure glaucoma.
?METHODS: Ninety-eight patients (102 eyes) with early chronic primary angle-closure glaucoma were randomly divided into two groups. Group A of 50 patients (54 eyes) was treated with LPl and group B of 48 patients (48 eyes) with trabeculectomy. After 3 - 8y of follow - up observation, comparison would be made from the perspectives of postoperative eyesight, intraocular pressure, anterior chamber angle, visual field and cup/disc ratio ( C/D) .
?RESULTS:ln group A, 24 eyes with eyesight declining, 22 eyes with theintraocular pressure>21mmHg (1mmHg=0. 133kPa), 21 eyes with chamber angle synechia >180o, 21 eyes with visual field narrowed, 21 eyes with C/D ratio enlarged. The results of group B for the same items were 10, 5, 4, 4, 4 eyes respectively. The comparative difference was statistically significant (P<0. 05).
?CONCLUSlON:Good effects will be achieved for early-stage chronic angle - closure glaucoma with surgical method. Trabeculectomy is obviously better than LPl for the long-term effects.

Biotrickling filter often offers a cost effective and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional air pollutant control technologies,but major problems with clogging of the filters due to a high biomass accumulation will provent it from the industried uses.In this paper,the effect of the high biomass accumulation in an air pollution treatment with a biotrickling filter is discussed.Two parameters with specific surface area with biofilm growth(?_ f ) and the bed porosity with biofilm(?_ f )are used to analyse its principle of accumulation.Finally,some control measures including chemical methods,physical machine-made methods and other control methods are overviewed.

Objective To construct a plasmid DNA encoding G glycoprotein of respiratory syncytial virus(RSV) and investigate the protective immune response against RSV infection. Methods Recombinant plasmid DNA of pcDNA3.1~G was constructed by standard RT-PCR based cloning procedure. The immunogenicity of recombinant G protein transiently expressed in HEK293 cells was detected by Western blot. BABL/c mice were intramuscularly immunized with pcDNA3.1~G. Samples of lung, sera, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) were collected before and after RSV challenge; virus titer in lung was detected by viral titration; sections of paraffin embedding lung tissues were stained by haematoxylin and eosin(HE) for histological analyses; sera anti-RSV IgG levels were examined by ELISA; Th1/Th2 cytokine were detected by ELISA kit, the T lymphocyte subsets of BALF was determined by immunefluorescence staining followed by flow cytometry. Results Plasmid DNA of pcDNA3.1~G was successfully constructed. The expressed target protein possesses immunogenicity. After challenge, pcDNA3.1~G immunized mice presented relieved pathological changes in lung as well as reduced lung viral titers. The RSV specific IgG was detected in sera of immunized mice. There was significantly increased number of CD25~+CD4~+ T cells in mice BALF. Conclusion We constructed a pcDNA3.1~G plasmid DNA vaccination which can induce evident protective cellular immunity against RSV infection in mice with the increased number of CD25~+CD4~+ T cell subpopulation.

Objective To evaluate the effect of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase inhibitor LY294002 combined with dichloroacetate on apoptosis in human pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and AKT/GSK-3β/HK-2 signaling pathway.Methods Human pulmonary arterial SMCs were seeded into culture plates at a density of 2 x 104 cells/ml after 3-5 passages.After being incubated for 72 h,the SMCs were cultured in the medium supplemented with 0.2％ fetal bovine serum for 24 h to induce starvation prior to experiments.The cells were then randomly divided into 6 groups (n =6 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),positive control group (group F),LY294002 group (group L),different concentrations of dichloroacetate groups (D1 and D2 groups),and LY294002 combined with dichloroacetate group (group LD1).In group C,the cells were cultured in the medium supplemented with 0.2％ fetal bovine serum.In F,L,D1,D2 and LD1 groups,the cells were cultured in the medium supplemented with 10％ fetal bovine serum.LY294002 2 μmol/L was added to the medium in group L.Dichloroacetate l0 and 20 mmol/L were added to the medium in D1 and D2 groups,respectively.In group LD1,LY294002 (2 μmol/L) was added,and 30 min later dichloroacetate 10 mmol/L was added to the medium in LD1 group.The cells were incubated for 48 h.Flow cytometry was used to measure the cell apoptosis and mitochondrial membrane potential.The expression of phosphorylated AKT (p-Akt),phosphorylated glycogen synthase kinase 3β (p-GSK-3β),and hexokinase-2 (HK-2) was detected using Western blot.Apoptosis rate was calculated.Results Compared with group C,apoptosis rate was significantly increased,and mitochondrial membrane potential was decreased in D2 and LD1 groups,the expression of p-Akt,p-GSK-3β and HK-2 was up-regulated in group F,and no significant changes were found in apoptosis rate and mitochondrial membrane potential in F,L and D1 groups.Compared with group D2,apoptosis rate was significantly increased,mitochondrial membrane potential was decreased,and the expression of p-Akt,p-GSK-3β and HK-2 was down-regulated in LD1 group.The expression of p-Akt,p-GSK-3β and HK-2 was significantly lower in D2 and LD1 groups than in group F.Conclusion LY294002 combined with dichloroacetate can promote apoptosis in human pulmonary arterial SMCs possibly through blocking AKT/GSK-3β/HK-2 signaling pathway.

Objective To study the association between Helicobacter pylori(Hp)infection and chronic obstructive pulmona-ry disease(COPD).Methods A retrospective study was conducted in 130 patients with Hp positive COPD(Hp positive group)and 130 patients with Hp negative COPD(Hp negative group)from August 2015 to October 2016.The patients in the two groups blood gas analysis and lung function.Results The blood oxygen pressure(PaO2)level 62.5 ± 7.4 mmHg and the oxygen saturation(SaO2)86.3%±9.6% in the Hp positive group were lower than those in the Hp negative group (78.6±10.2 mmHg,92.8%±2.9%),(43.3±10.6 mmHg)in Hp positive group was significantly higher than that in Hp negative group(43.2±11.5 mmHg),the difference was statistically significant(t=14.57,7.39 and 9.55,all P<0.01), (FEV1/FVC)(FEV1/FVC)(FEV1/FVC)and FEV1 were the highest in the Hp-positive group(FEV1)(1.56±0.48 L), the first forced expiratory force(1.74±0.32 L,65.9%±5.3% and 58.2%±5.6%),the difference was statistically signifi-cant(t=3.56,12.42,16.41,all P<0.05),and the difference was statistically significant(all P<0.01).Conclusion Hp in-fection was closely related to COPD,which may be an important factor involved in and aggravate COPD disease.

OBJECTIVETo discuss the drug intervention in diversity changes of TCRVbeta gene in AIDS patients with incomplete immune reconstitution.

METHODPBMCs were isolated from 37 cases of AIDS patients failure to immune reconstitution before and after treatment with Immune 2 and 15 cases of HIV negative healthy donors. The human gene TCRVbeta CDR3 diversity quantitative detection reagent box were used, and mapped the distribution of gene scanning and calculated different CDR3 fragme of each Vbeta family size.

RESULT(1) Gaussian distribution of TCRVbeta families in patients with incomplete immune reconstitution after one year of HAART, had been broken with the occurrence of the offset TCR lineage. After six months of treatment of traditional Chinese medicine combined HAART, the TCR lineage has been partially restored. (2) Evaluated by the D (distance) value calculated by a quantitative analysis software which the kit provides, there were no significant difference in D value change between the two groups, but with traditional Chinese medicine can reduce the data variability. (3) CD4+ T cell counts had a significant correlation (r = -0.772, P = 0.000) with TCRVbeta genetic diversity.

CONCLUSIONStudy of the mechanism showed oligoclonal of TCRVbeta family can get recovery in some degrees after treated by Immune 2 plus HAART, suggesting that the medicine may promote T-cell receptor gene rearrangement, helping immune cells to effectively identify the virus to reduce T-cell apoptosis.
