Objective To observe the treatment effects of trimetazidine on myocardial bridge. Methods A total of 76 patients with clinical symptoms, such as different degrees of chest tightness, palpitation, breath shortness, chest pain, were diagnosed as coronary myocardial bridge by coronary angiography, and were divided into two groups randomly. While control group (n=40) was given beta-blocker or (and) calcium antagonist as routine treatment. The treatment group (n=36) was given routine treatment and trimetazidine, 20 mg, three times daily. The mean follow-up period was 12 weeks. The episodes of chest pain per week, exercise tolerance, anxiety and depression scores, total ischemic burden in 24 h and walking distance in 6 min were observed in two groups of patients. Results The parameters of chest pain times per week, exercise tolerance, anxiety and depression scores, total ischemic burden in 24 h and walking distance in 6min were improved in treatment group compared with control group, and the symptoms were effectively relieved, the life quality of patients were improved. Conclusion The conventional treatment combined with trimetazidine is safe and effective, which can further improve myocardial energy metabolism and exercise tolerance, and enhance the clinical effect and the life quality of patients.

Objective To compare the postoperative follow-up indexes of femoral popliteal artery bypass grafts and evaluate the sensitivity of vessel function test methods for the early detection of grafts restenosis.Methods 84 cases were followed-up after femoral popliteal graft bypass,using ankle brachial index (ABI),ABI decrease amplitude,and Duplex ultrasound to detect peak systolic velocity (PSV) and peak systolic velocity ratio (PSVR).All patients were divided into mild stenosis group (0-49%),moderate stenosis group (50%-74%) and severe stenosis group (75%-99%).Results ABI was 0.88 ±0.12,0.81 ± 0.10 and 0.52 ± 0.13;ABI decrease amplitude was 0.13 ± 0.06,0.12 ± 0.06 and 0.36±0.06;PSV(m/s) was 0.89 ±0.23,0.91 ±0.31 and 1.70 ±0.85,respectively.There was remarkable difference for ABI,ABI decrease amplitude and PSV between severe stenosis and mild to moderate stenosis group (P <0.05).PSVR was 1.00 ±0.08,2.14 ±0.31 and 3.58 ±0.31 respectively,in the three groups (P < 0.05).Conclusion PSVR was more sensitive to detect grafts restenosis early than ABI,ABI decrease amplitude and PSV.

BACKGROUND:In recent years, with the in-depth research on thecharacteristics and functions of stem cells,stem cell research has become a hot research targeting thetreatment of a variety of diseases.OBJECTIVE:To summarize the research progress of human amnioticmesenchymal stem cells in the treatment of acute lung injury.METHODS:The PubMed and CNKI databases were searched by computerfor relevant literatures published from January 2000 to January 2017. The key words were mesenchymal stem cells, acute lung injury in Chinese and English,respectively.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:As an important member of adult stem cells, human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells not only have the advantages and characteristics of most other stem cells, but also have unique advantages, such as these cells can be extracted from a vast of sources, require only non-invasive operations, and involve no violation of ethics. Human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells can be driven by inflammation reaction and homing to the damaged tissue, and be activated by inflammatory factors to secrete a variety of cytokines in a paracrine fashion, which inhibit neutrophils, macrophages and other immune cell migration and inhibit dendritic cell maturity, and reduce the proliferation of NK cells, B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes, and up-regulate anti-inflammatory cytokines and down-regulate proinflammatory cytokines, and alleviate alveolar inflammatory injury through anti-oxidation and anti-apoptotic processes. Human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells can also assist in the repair or homing to the damaged tissue to directionally differentiate to replace the apoptotic and necrotic cells. All of these characteristics of human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells provide new insight into the treatment of acute lung injury. As acute lung injury is caused by many pathogenic factors and its pathophysiological process is very complicated, human amniotic mesenchymal stem cell transplantation in the treatment of acute lung injury has many issues to be resolved.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance and changes of serum interleukin-4 (IL-4),interferon-γ(IFN-γ) and immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels in infants with spasmodic laryngitis.Methods Serum samples were obtained from 50 children with spasmodic laryngitis and 30 healthy children.The changes of IL-4,IFN-γand IgE levels in serum when hospital admission (acute stage),before discharge (the stage of clinical symptom disappeared) and after 2 months of follow-up were observed.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine the levels of IL-4 and IFN-γ in serum.Serum IgE level was determined with enzyme-linked fluoroimmuneassay.Results The serum level of IL-4 in patients with spasmodic laryngitis during acute stage were much higher than that in normal control group[(20.65 ±5.87) ng/L vs(8.23 ±2.71) ng/L,t =5.536,P <0.05].It was decreased during the stage of clinical symptom disappeared and significantly lower than that during acute stage[(11.07 ± 2.93) ng/L vs (20.65 ± 5.87) ng/L,F =5.258,P < 0.05].The serum level of IFN-γ in patients with spasmodic laryngitis during acute stage were much lower than that in normal control group[(61.38 ±6.36) ng/L vs (108.42 ± 13.56) ng/L,t =4.831,P < 0.05],and it was increased during the stage of clinical symptom disappeared [(95.12 ± 11.63) ng/L] and significantly higher than that during acute stage(F =4.239,P < 0.05).There was no difference between the patients at clinical symptom disappeared stage and normal control group (P > 0.05).Two months after discharge,there was no difference in serum INF-γlevel between the patients [(75.68 ±6.29) ng/L] and that in control group (P > 0.05).The serum level of IgE in patients with spasmodic laryngitis during acute stage were much higher than that in normal control group [(136.63 ± 17.86) ng/L vs (47.16 ± 6.83) ng/L,t =6.685,P < 0.05].It was decreased during the stage of clinical symptom disappeared [(88.07 ± 11.83) μg/L] and significantly lower than that during acute stage(F =5.182,P < 0.05),but higher than that of normal control group (P < 0.05).Two months after discharge [(86.72 ± 7.25) μg/L] it was still higher than that in control group (P < 0.05).Conclusions There is TH1/TH2 imbalance in infants with spasmodic laryngitis.Maybe spasmodic laryngitis is one of the clinical manifestations of atopic diseases.IL-4,IFN-γand IgE may play important roles in immunologic pathogenesis.
