Objective To study the therapeutical effect of glutathione(GL),a powerful antioxidant on the symptoms and ECG in patients with coronary heart disease and its mechanisms.Methods Eighty-five subjects with coronary heart disease were recruited(45 male and 40 female).The patients were randomized to receive GL (240 mg,ivgtt,qd,for 14 days,n=44)on the top of conventional treatment(aspirin+?-blocks+ACEI)or conven- tional treatement alone(control,n=41).The serum MDA,SOD,NO levels were determined.Electrocardio- graphy(ST stage,T wave)was examined.Results GL significantly improved clinical symptoms scores(2.0+0.5 vs control:1.5+0.5,P

Objective To assess the effect of two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (STI) on prognosis of patients with acute infarcted myocardial(AMI).Methods Eighty patients with AMI and 30 healthy subjects were selected as our subjects.Among the AMI patients,there was 30 cases were emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI),25 cases were selective PCI group and 25 cases with conservative.All were performed a 4-6 months following up after discharge from hospital.Left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) was measured by Simpson's.Rotation were measured in the left ventricular basal and apical short-axis views using STI.LV Peak twist (Ptw),apical Peak rotation (PAR),the basal Peak rotation (PBR),twist at aortic valve closure(AVC tw),twist at mitral valve opening(MVO tw),untwisting rate (Untw R),and half time of untwisting (HTU) were calculated.And the correlation between Ptw and LVEF was analyzed.Results Compared with the control group,the value of Ptw,PAR,AVC tw and MVO tw were significantly decreased in myocardial infarction group(F =22.481,12.899,18.923 ;P ＜ 0.05).Ptw,PAR in emergency PCI group at following up periods were (18.61 ± 8.08) ° and (12.16 ± 6.98) °,higher than that in hospital periods ((13.76 ± 6.31) °,(7.03 ±5.76)°).Ptw,PAR in selecting PCI group were (19.5 ±7.73)° and (13.4 ±7.02)°,higher than that in hospital periods((15.25 ± 6.83) °,(9.69 ±.6.72) ° ; t =-2.607,-3.104,-2.079,-1.955 ; P ＜ 0.05).Significant correlation was found between Ptw and LVEF (r =0.527,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Left ventricular twist can be measured using STI.LV rotation can be the quantitative index to evaluate the systolic function of LV.STI can be the new method to guide clinic diagnosis and therapy.

Objective To evaluate the effects of ulinastatin on acute lung injury during ortho- topic liver transplantation(OLT).Methods Twenty ASAⅢ-Ⅳpatients with end-stage liver disea- ses.undergoing OLT were randomly divided into two groups.Ulinastatin group received intravenous infusion of ulinastatin(3?10~4 IU in 100 normal saline)after skin incision and every 4 h thereafter(n =10).Control group received same amount of normal saline instead of ulinastatin(n=10).Blood sam- pies were taken before skin incision,120 min after skin incision,30 min after liver was removed,5 min and 60 min after reperfusion of the graft and at the end of operation for determination of plasma IL-6, IL-8,TNF-?,MDA concentrations and SOD activity.Respiratory index(RI)[P_(A-a)DO_2/PaO_2]was cal- culated before skin incision,30 min after liver was removed,5 min and 60 min after reperfusion of the graft and at the end of operation.After anesthesia was induced,cardiac output,mixed venous oxygen saturation and central venous temperature were continuously monitored during operation.ECG,CVP, SpO_2,P_(ET)CO_2,radial artery and MPAP were also continuously monitored during operation.P_(ET)CO_2 was maintained at 35-40 mm Hg during operation.Blood temperature was maintained above 35.5℃during operation.Results In group C plasma IL-6 and IL-8 concentrations were significantly increased from 120 min after skin incision to the end of operation as compared with the baseline values(P0.05).RI was significantly lower at 60 min after reperfusion of the graft and at the end of operation in group U than in group C(P

Objective To evaluate the role of TCD examination in diagnosis of the early cerebrovascular diseases in aged diabetic patients.Methods 179 cases of aged type Ⅱ diabetic patients were divided into three groups(PDR,BDR and NDB)according to their retinopathy.TCD and retina examination were performed in all patients and the data be analysed. Results (1)The systolic peak flow velocity(Vp) of MCA、ACA、ICA and BA were significant increased in diabetic pa- tients than in normal control group(P

Biotechnology supremacy is a newly-advanced power theory. It is a superior dominance of military biotechnological application based on the microcosm of life structure within a certain period of time. The advancement of biotechnology supremacy and modern biotechnology has created the concept of bio-micro-frontier, which involves information and defense resources of all living ultra-micro-organisms with national and regional characteristics. Being feasible both in theory and practice, the implementation of bio-micro-frontier system is strategically important. This article explores the implementation of bio-micro-frontier in terms of strategy and tactics, which will add a unique dimension to future military transformation and active defense.

Factors influencing the temperature-sensing accuracy of an ablation catheter are analyzed, in this paper, from the two aspects of the thermocouple temperature sensor, which are the TC length and the TC hole's diameter of the ablation electrode. Meanwhile, differences between products from different companies are given too.

OBJECTIVETo discuss the clinical effect of closed reduction and interlocking intramedullary nailing in the treatment of femoral shaft fracture.

METHODSFrom March 2006 to December 2011,103 patients with femoral shaft fracture were treated by closed reduction and interlocking intramedullary nailing including 76 males and 27 females with an average age of 36 years old ranging from 19 to 55 years old. According to AO classification,there were 64 cases with type A,27 with type B, 12 with type C. Thirteen cases were open fractures including 5 cases with Gustilo type I , 8 with Gustilo type II . The time of bone healing were observed after operation, the knee function recovery was evaluated by HSS scoring standard at 1 year after operation.

RESULTSThe intraoperative complications included femoral neck fracture in 1 case and proximal femoral fracture in 1 case,both of the patients were treated with reconstructive intramedullary interlocking nail and the fractures healed postoperatively. One patient was suffered from common peroneal nerve injury,which were fully recovered at 4 months later after medical treatment. All the patients were followed up from 12 to 28 months (averaged 22 months). All of the fractures were healed well and the average healing time was 3 to 9 months (averaged 5 months). All the hip joints were recovered to normal function. The average HSS was 90.89±5.06 at 1 year after operation.

CONCLUSIONInterlocking intramedullary nailing is the preferred treatment for patients with femoral shaft fracture. Carefully operating and closed reduction can reduce the complications.
