A total of 128 patients with coronary heart disease/angina pectoris who underwent coronary arterial stent implantation were collected in this study between January and December 2002.① At 6-18 months of follow up,coronary artery angiography(CAG) showed that diameter stenosis rate ≥ 50% was considered the restenosis.While,36 out of 128 lesions had restenosis,and the rate was 28.1%.Serum lipoprotein(a) level in the restenosis group was significantly higher than non-restenosis group(P

Objective To investigate the effect of irrigation with hypothermic artificial cerebral-spinal fluid (aCSF)on expression of aquaporin-4(AQP-4) in the spinal cord following spinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rabbits.Methods Fifty-four adult male New Zealand white rabbits weighing 2.0-2.5 kg were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=18 each):group sham operation(S group); group I/R and group irrigation with hypothermic aCSF (FI group). Spinal I/R was induced by clamping the abdominal aorta below renal artery for 60 min. Hypothermic aCSF(25 X.)was infused at L4,5 interspace at a rate of 30 ml/h and drained from L7,8 interspace during spinal ischemia.Neurological function was evaluated at 4, 24, 48 and 72 h of reperfusion and scored (0=no hind limb activity, 4=hind limb function completely recovered) in 6 animals in each group. Six animals were sacrificed at 4, 24 and 72 h respectively in each group.The lumbar segment (L5-8) was removed for measurement of water content and AQP-4 protein expression (by immuno-histochemistry).Results Neurological function scores were significantly lower,water content was higher and AQP-4 expression smaller in group I/R than in group S. I/R-induced effects were significantly attenuated by irrigation of hypothermic aCSF. Conclusion Irrigation with hypothermic aCSF can ameliorate the spinal cord I/R injuries by up-regulation of AQP-4 expression.

Objective To investigate the influence of ultrasonic cleaning time and disinfecting frequency on physical property of Ni-Ti root canal files in order to understand the safety and feasibility of ultrasonic cleaning and high temperature and high pressure disinfection for Ni-Ti root canal files.Methods The Ni-Ti root canal files used in this study were ProTaper,Mtwo and Hero642,5 files were selected from each kind.After the ultrasonic cleaning and high temperature high pressure disinfection the files underwent breaking test,the breaking time was recorded.Unclean and non-sterile Ni-Ti root canal files were set as control.Results After different time of ultrasonic cleaning,ProTaper and Mtwo showed no difference in breaking time,but the result was opposite in Hero642.After different times of disinfection,Mtwo showed no difference in breaking time,but significant difference was seen in the other two kinds.Conclusions Ultrasonic cleaning time has no significant influence on physical property of ProTaper and Mtwo Ni- Ti root canal files,but the influence was significant for Hero642.Disinfection frequency had no significant influence on physical property of ProTaper and Hero642 Ni-Ti root canal files,but the influence was significant for Mtwo Ni-Ti root canal files.

Thirty mothers of four dadys later after delivery with agalactia, whose babies needed additional milk over one third of physiological needs, or agalorrhea were chosen to take 125 g of MUYINGLE divided into 3 parts a day for observing its lactigenous effect, and thirty other agalactous mothers, who might chose any kind of traditional Chinese lactagogue foods to eat, as control group. Those subjects whose babie's additional milk was less than one fourth or half of physiolgical needs for agalactia or agalorrhea respectively after four days with MUYINGLE were effectual. The results showed that the lactagogue efficacious rate of MUYINGLE and control group were 86. 7% and 33. 3%, respectively. The lactagogue effects were significant difference between the two groups (P

Aim To investigate the effects of total gin-senosides ( TG) on microvascular regeneration and car-diac function in rat after acute myocardial infarction ( AMI ) . Methods The acute myocardial infarction model was created with left coronary artery ligated in male Sprague Dawley rats. The model rats were ran-domly divided into sham, model, TG low and high dose groups. TG groups were injected into abdominal cavity with TG(20 mg·kg-1·d-1, 40 mg·kg-1· d-1 ) . Sham and model groups were injected with e-qual-volume normal saline. On the 35th day post-opera-tion, heart function was examined by color doppler ul-trasoundination. HE, Masson and immunohistochemis-trical staining were used to observe the histopathologi-cal changes of myocardium and micro vessel density. The level of vascular endothelial growth factor( VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor( bFGF) mRNA were detected by real-time PCR. Results Compared with the model group, high and low dose TG obviously de-creased the left ventricular end diastolic dimension, the left ventricular end-systolic dimension, the left ventric-ular end-diastolic volume and the left ventricular end-systolic volume(P<0. 05 and P<0. 01), and signifi-cantly increased the ejection fraction and the fractional shortening ( P <0. 01 ) . The histopathological changes of myocardium on myocardial infarction and fibrosis were dramatically reduced by TG. But ventricular wall was thicker. Two dose TG remarkably increased the expressions of VEGF and bFGF mRNA and micro ves-sel density of compositive CD31 + cells in ischemic myocardial tissue and around of infarct area(P<0. 01, P <0 . 0 5 ) . Conclusions TG could improve the car-diac function of acute myocardial infarction rat. The mechanism may be related to the upregulation of VEGF and bFGF gene expression, the promotion angiogene-sis, then the improvement of blood supply in myocardi-al infarction area.

A total of 128 patients with coronary heart disease/angina pectoris who underwent coronary arterial stent implantation were collected in this study between January and December 2002.① At 6-18 months of follow up,coronary artery angiography (CAG) showed that diameter stenosis rate ＞I 50% was considered the restenosis.While,36 out of 128 lesions had restenosis,and the rate was 28.1%.Serum lipoprotein (a) level in the restenosis group was significantly higher than non-restenosis group (P ＜ 0.01).②All patients were divided into high lipoprotein (a) group (the concentration ≥ 230 mg/L) and low lipoprotein (a) group (the concentration ＜ 230 rag/L).Restenosis rate in the high lipoprotein (a) group was significantly higher than low lipoprotein (a) group (P ＜ 0.05).Intravascular ultrasound showed that area and volume of newborn endomembrane in the high lipoprotein (a) group were significantly higher than slow lipoprotein (a) group after coronary arterial stent implantation (P ＜ 0.01).③ Correlation analysis suggested that.lipoprotein (a) was positively correlated with area and volume of newborn plaque (P ＜ 0.05).

A 1-year-old boy developed multiple skin-colored nodules on the forehead and extremities when he was 4 months old.Physical examination revealed that his general condition was well with no hepatomegaly,splenomegaly,lymphadenectasis,testicle abnormality or gingival hypertrophy.Pathologically,the epidermis was normal,while the dermis and subcutaneous tissue were diffusely infiltrated with medium-to large-sized deformed cells,which had a small amount of cytoplasm,oval nucleus,irregular shape and fine chromatin.Some infiltrating cells had nuclear groove and nucleoli.Immunohistochemical studies showed that the tumor cells were positive for S-100 protein,CD56,CD123,CD163,CD68,Ki-67 (40％),weakly positive for CD4 (some),but negative for myeloperoxidase,CD1,CD21.Bone marrow smears showed a 24.5％ infltration by monoblasts and promonocytes.A diagnosis of monoblastic sarcoma cutis preceding acute monoblastic leukemia was made.

ObjectiveTo evaluate therapeutic effect and the possible mechanism of smecta on paraqual plasma concentrations and multiorgans injury induced by paraquat intoxication in rats. Methods A total of 76 healthy adult SD rats were randomly ( random number) divided into group A (control group n =6),group B ( poisoned group n =30 ),group C (smecta-treated group n=30).Rats in groups B and C were treated intragastrically with PQ at 50 mg/kg,the rats in the group C were given with smecta at 50 mg/kg,while the rats in the other two groups were only intragastrically adminstered with saline.Live rats in groups B and C were sacrificed at 2,6,24,48,72 h after administration of PQ for the determination of paraquat plasma concentrations and for HE staining of lung,stomach and jejunum.The rats were executed at the end of trial by the same way in group A.All measurement data were expressed as means + standard deviation ((x) ±s).The data of pathological score were compared with Independent-samples T test and the data of PQ concentration compared with analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by LSD-t multiple comparison test.P-values of less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant.ResultsThe paraquat plasma concentration ( ng/ml ) was 440.314 ± 49.776 to 4320.6150 ± 413.947.There were different pathological changes of lung,stomach and jejunum in group B. Lung injuries gradually deteriorated,congestion,edema,leukocyte infiltration,incrassated septa and lung consolidation were observed.The pathological changes were obvious such as abruption of mucosa,hyperemic gastric mucosa and leukocyte infiltration in stomach.Haemorrhage of jejunum mucosa,abruption of villus,gland damage and inflammatory cell infiltration were found. Compared with group B,all the pathological changes mentioned above were obviously alleviated in group C ( P ＜ 0.05 ),and the concentrations reduced ( P ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusions Smecta reduced paraquat plasma concentrations and alleviated pathologic injury of rats with PQ poisoning.

Objective To observe the therapeutic efficacy of auricular point sticking in preventing pain after perianal abscess surgery.Method Sixty patients going to receive radical perianal abscess surgery admitted by the First Affiliated Hospitalof Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine between December of 2015 and February of 2016 were enrolled and randomized into an ordinary group and an auricular point sticking group. Pain was scored at different time points after the surgery and the use of analgesics was also recorded.Result There were significant inter-group differences in comparing the pain intensity from 6 h after the surgery till 7:30 on the next day of the surgery (P<0.05);the between-group differences in comparing the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores from the 2nd day till the 7th day despite of the dressing change time were unstable(P>0.05,P<0.05); the differences in pain intensity at the dressing change were statistical significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Auricular point sticking can effectively treat mild-moderate pain in the early stage after perianal abscess surgery at non-dressing-change time, and it can also produce a satisfactory effect in preventing moderate-severe pain at dressing change after perianal abscess surgery.
