Objective To evaluate the impact of carvedilol and metoprolol on left ventricular (LV)dyssynchrony in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy(IDC).Methods In this study,we randomly assigned 65 IDC patients from January 2009 to June 2011 to re-ceive carvedilol or metoprolol succinate.All patieats were divided in to carvedilol group(n=33)and metoprolol group(n=32)Echo-cardiographic measurements and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide levels were obtained at baseline and 6 month after thera-py.Then long-term follow up the survival rate of patients were observed.Results In carvedilol group,reduction in LVEDS and in-crease in LVEF was higher compared to metoprolol group.Also improvement in LV dyssynchrony achieved and survival rate with carvedilol was higher than metoprolol.However,Improvements in LV mechanical dyssynchrony was similar in two groups.Im-provements in LV mechanical dyssynchrony achived with both drugs were accompanied by reduction in NT-pro-BNP levels in both carvedilol and metoprolol groups(P >0.05).Conclusion Carvedilol is an effective drug improves the intraventricular dyssynchro-nyfor for IDC patients with left ventricular dyssynchrony,and could increasea the survival rate.

Objective To investigate and analyze the efficacy of intravenous levosimendan in the treatment of acute cardiac failure after cardiac surgery. Methods The study of the 80 cases of acute heart failure in patients undergoing cardiac surgery after treatment in March 2014 to March 2017, the patients were monitored in the treatment before and after treatment of 24 h heart rate, left ventricular ejection fraction, mean arterial pressure and central venous pressure and other related indicators. Results Of all patients, 58 survived after treatment, and 22 died during or after treatment. Compared with before treatment, after treatment of 24 h in left ventricular ejection fraction in patients, mean arterial pressure, central venous and changes in heart rate were significantly improved, data between the two groups had significant difference compared with statistical significance(P<0.05). In 8 patients, transient blood pressure reduction occurred during treatment, but symptoms disappeared after taking appropriate measures, and other patients had no more severe adverse reactions. Conclusion According to the method of intravenous levosimendan in treatment of acute heart failure in patients undergoing cardiac surgery after treatment can make the patient's cardiac function improved, has a significant effect on the prognosis of patients, should have a relatively high value.

Objective:To study the effect of sulforaphane(SFN) on the growth of human bladder cancer cell and its mechanism in vitro. Method:Morphological characteristics of T24 cell nucleus induced by SFN were observed by AO/EB fluorescein staining .The effect of SFN on the T24 cell cycle was determined by flow cytometry. The expression of TrxR at the transcriptional and translational levels were measured by RT-PCR and Western blot methods respectively. Results:(1) After the cells were treated with 10 ?mol/L and 20 ?mol/L SFN for 24 h and 48 h, nuclear fragmentation and apoptotic body were seen under fluorescence microscope. (2) SFN could block the cell cycle at the G0/G1 phase showed by flow cytometry. Moreover, the treatment of 20 ?mol/L SFN for 48h could cause the appearance of sub-G1 before G0/G1 phase. (3) The expression of TrxR mRNA were increased by the treatment of 10 ?mol/L SFN for 4 h, 10 h,24 h ,compared with the control group. Furthermore ,the treatment with high dose SFN (20 ?mol/L ) for 10h or 24 h could induce the expression of TrxR mRNA more significantly . (4)The expression of TrxR protein in the 10 ?mol/L SFN for 24 h group was augmented compared with the control group , and aftertreatment with 20 ?mol/L SFN for 8 h and 24 h, its expression was significantly higher than that in the control group . Conclusion:SFN can inhibit the growth of T24 cell ,induce apoptosis and arrest T24 cell in G0/G1 phase. Its mechanism is associated with the induction of TrxR both at the transcriptional and translational levels.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of clarithromycin combined with Cassia Twig-Poria Cocos capsule on patients with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease and its influence on high sensitivity C - reactive protein (hs-CRP). Methods 106 cases of patients with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease were selected to be divided into the observation group and control group with each group of 53 patients. The patients in control group were only given clarithromycin, on the base of control group, patients in observation group were given Cassia Twig-Poria Cocos. Both group were treated for three courses of 7-14 days. Then the therapeutic effect, adverse reactions, hs-CRP, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and hematocrit of patients were investigated. Results The total effective rate of patients in observation group was 90.57%, and the control group was 75.47%. The total effective rate of observation group was higher than control group with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). The hs-CRP, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and hematocrit of two groups both decreased after treatment (P<0.05) and these indexes of observation group was much less than control group (P<0.05). Besides, there was no difference of incidence of adverse reactions between two groups during the treatment. Conclusion Treatment of clarithromycin combined with Cassia Twig-Poria Cocos capsule on patients with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease not only can lessen inflammatory reaction, but also can improve the therapeutic effect effectively.

Objective To study the estrogenic effects of DDT-derivative pesticides. Methods Using a recombinant human estrogen receptor gene yeast cell to estrogenic activity of DDT pesticides. The different concentrations of 17?-estradiol and individual DDT isomers and homologue such as p,p′-DDT, o,p′-DDT, p,p′-DDD and p,p′-DDE and their mixtures were added to yeast cultures, then estrogenic activity was measured by quantification of ?-galactosidase after 4 hours culture. Results DDT showed the ability to play the estrogenic effects like a ligand to bind hER and the dose dependent model existed between the estrogenic effects and the DDT concentration. The relative activity of o,p′-DDT, EC50=5.30?10-7mol/L, was higher and the estrogenic effects of isomers exhibited synergism, AI=1.5. The relative activity of p,p′-DDE , EC50=9.28?10-5mol/L, was lower and the antagonistical action between the homologues was found, AI=-1.38. DDT pesticides presented a synergism, the regression equation was =-2.600 6x2-28.079x-21.757,EC50 was 2.57?10-8mol/L, AI=0.83. Conclusion DDTs are ER mediated environmental estrogens, p,p′-DDT, o,p′-DDT, p,p′-DDD and p,p′-DDE show a synergic effect.
