Objective To observe the protective and antioxidative effect of Xinjihuoliyin on the myocardium injury induced by adriamycin (ADM) in rats. Methods 80 SD rats were randomly divided into four groups:normal group, control group, Xinjihuoliyin group and positive control group (Huangqishengmaiyin group). In control group, Xinjihuoliyin group and Huangqishengmaiyin group, ADM was intraperitonial injected at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg, three times every week, for 4 weeks, while normal saline was intraperitonial injected at a dose of 3 mL/kg in normal group. In Xinjihuoliyin group, Xinjihuoliyin was intragastric administrated once a day at a dose of 10 g/kg. In Huangqishengmaiyin group, Huangqishengmaiyin was intragastric administrated once a day at a dose of 7 mL/kg and distilled water was given to other two groups. The activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) of serum and myocardium were assayed. The myocardial pathomorphism was detected at the same time. Results Compared with the control group, MDA of serum and myocardium was lower, and SOD of serum and myocardium was higher in Xinjihuoliyin and Huangqishengmaiyin group. The scale of myocardial pathological damage in Xinjihuoliyin and Huangqishengmaiyin group was improved. Conclusion Xinjihuoliyin has protective effect and antioxidative effect on the myocardium injury induced by adriamycin in rats.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of combination therapy of ambroxol with vibration? expectoration machine on ventilator-associated pneumonia Methods A total of 96 patients from the Department of Critical Care Medicine were selected and randomly divided into 3 groups:control group,ambroxol group and ammonia ambroxol + vibration expectoration machine group (n=32,each).The ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) was randomly divided into three groups (n =32,each).All patients were treated with conventional therapy including anti-inflammatory,suction,airway humidification,nutritional support.On this basis,ambroxol group was given ambroxol 30 mg in 100 ml normal saline,intravenously dripped 3 times a day.On the basis of treatment in the ambroxol group,ammonia ambroxol + expectoration machine were given G5 vibration expectoration machine to expectorate sputum 2 times every other day.Results There were significant differences in acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE Ⅱ),PaO2/FiO2,respiratory rate (RR),heart rate (HR) before versus after the treatment of the three groups (F =5.736,9.432,6.361,5.862,respectively,all P＜0.05).After treatment in the three groups,APACHE Ⅱ,PaO2/FiO2,RR and HR showed statistically significant differences inter-group among three groups (F=4.674,8.665,7.351,6.562,respectively,all P＜0.05).Clinical effective rates of the three groups were 71.9％,84.4％,93.8％ respectively,and showed statistically significant differences inter-group among three groups (all P＜0.05).Conclusions Combination therapy of ambroxol and vibration expectoration machine shows significant effects on VAP,and it is better than ambroxol alone.

0.05).Conclusion The long-term curative effects of one end-to-side and double end-to-side neurorrhaphy are the same.The proximal end of the transected nerve can be reconnected with the distal end by double end-to-side neurorrhaphy,but the connected fibers have only partial effects on the recovery of the nerve.

Objective:To investigate the suppression effect and apoptosis of the colon cell line HT-29 treated with adenovirus-expressed human hyperplasia suppressor gene(hHSG)and hyperthermia.Methods:Replication-defective recombinant adenovirus containing hHSG was constructed,and then infected into HT-29 cell line to detect its overexpression by western blot.The synergic effect with hyperthermia was observed,cell survival was assessed using Vi-CELL TMXR Cell Viability Analyzer,and cell apoptosis and cell cycle distribution were determined by flow cytometry.Results:After the cells were treated with 100 MOI(multiplicity of infection)Ad5-hHSG and heated at 42 ℃ for 1 h,the number of viable cells decreased sharply,compared with single treatment with Ad5-hHSG or 42 ℃ for 1 h(P

Objective To develop a new system of computer-aided design(CAD) for individual metacarpophalangeal joint prosthesis based on rapid prototyping technique. Methods A hand of cadaver was scanned with PLUS-4 spiral computed tomography (CT).Then the transaxial 2D image data of digitus metacarpophalangeal joint were reconstructed into 3D digitized contour data by 3DMSR that was designed by ourselves. Then,the intramedullary stem was designed in software of Surface 9.0. Results The 3D contour image of metacarpophalangeal joint presented was reconstructed by 3DMSR and edited by Surface 9.0 easily for CAD of individual metacarpophalangeal joint.The intramedullary cavity was like choanoid. The intramedullary stem longitude of articular head and fossa were 47.31 and 35.20 mm.The intramedullary stem fit cavity.The model fit anatomical shape. Conclusion The 3D contour image of metacarpophalangeal joint can be obtained by spiral CT scanning,and the digitized data can be applied directly to CAD of individual artificial joint and subsequently rapid prototyping fabricating.In addition,the reconstruction method is simple and can be applied widely to clinical implant fabricating practice of orthopaedics.
