Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of therapy of nourishing kidney and liver for the treatment of hypomenorrhea with the syndrome of kidney deficiency and liver stagnation. Methods Fifty-one hypomenorrhea patients with the syndrome of kidney deficiency and liver stagnation were randomized into treatment group(N =25) and control group (N = 26). The treatment group was treated with oral use of Yangyin Shugan Capsules (mainly composed of Radix Bupleuri, Radix Paeoniae Alba, Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, and Fructus Ligustri Lucidi). The control group was given placebo capsules orally. After treatment for 8 weeks , the overall efficiency and therapeutic effect on menstruation of the two groups were evaluated according the changes of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) symptom scores. Results(1) The total effective rate of the treatment group was 84.0％, and that of the control group was 15.4％, the difference being significant between the two groups (P < 0.01). (2) The effective rate on the menstrual volume and menstrual color and texture of the treatment group was 64.0％, 68.0％, and that of the control group was 7.7％, 15.4％ respectively, the difference being significant(P < 0.01). However, the difference of effect on improving menstrual period was insignificant between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion Therapy of nourishing kidney and liver is effective for the treatment of hypomenorrhea with the syndrome of kidney deficiency and liver stagnation, and has obvious effect on improving menstrual volume and TCM symptoms.

Objective To align the mapping points from the locations of catheter electrodes with CT/MR image three-dimension data of the cardiac chamber. Methods Most of existing algorithms assumed that two spaces spanned respectively by mapping points and by CT/MR data were orthogonal, and thus modulated only 9 free-degrees of three-dimension translations, rotations and scaling for registration. However, our research showed that the above two spaces might be not always orthogonal. So we introduced affine transformation model based on 12 free-degrees and the corresponding iterative closest point algorithm to realize the registration and further incorporate the registration algorithm with the clinical operations. Combining with OpenGL, we realized the proposed algorithm via Visual C]+]+ 6.0 software. Results Simulation results showed that the residual registration errors on average were decreased from 40 pixels before registration to 1.5 pixels after registration. This algorithm was further validated in animal experiments. Conclusion This proposed three-dimension mapping registration algorithm well realizes the registration in three-dimension cardiac mapping and has practical application values.

The latest literatures on eslicarbazepine acetate in the treatment of epilepsy from home and abroad were referred. The results showed that the oral absorption of eslicarbazepine acetate is quick with long half life, linear pharmacokinetics and low potential of drug-drug interactions. Compared with carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine, eslicarbazepine acetate is more effective against epilepsy.

Up till now, there was no report on its serious adverse reactions and drug interactions.

Objective To investigate the effect of atorvastatin on cytochrome c (CytC) expression and neuronal apoptosis after intracerebral hemorrhage in rots.Methods A total of 108 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly allocated into 3 groups:sham operation group,saline control group,and atorvastatin group (n =36 each group).All the groups were redivided into 6 h,12 h,day 1,3,5 and 7 time points (n =6 at each time point).An intracerebral hemorrhage model was induced by using a modified two-step injection method.After modeling,atorvastatin was used for gavages (20 rng/kg,once a day) in the atorvastatin group.The saline control group was given the same volume of saline.Behavior evaluation was used for neurological score.TUNEL staining was used to detect apoptosis in perihematoma tissue.Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the CytC expression in perihematoma tissue.Results Behavior evaluation showed that the neurological scores decreased gradually with the passage of time in the atorvastatin group and the saline control group.There were no significant differences at 6 h,12 h,day 1 and day 3,but the neurological scores in the atorvastatin group were significantly lower than those in thc saline control group at day 5 (0.50 ± 0.55 vs.1.50 ± 0.55; t =3.162,P =0.010) and day 7 (1.00 ±0.63; t =2.712,P =0.022).TUNEL staining showed that the numbers of apoptotic cells increased first and then decreased in the saline control group and the atorvastatin group.They reached the peak at 1 hour after modeling.There were significant differences in the number of apoptotic cells in each group in perihematoma tissue at the same time point (all P =0.000),and the significance in the saline control group was more than that in the sham operation group and the atorvastatin group (all P ＜0.05),but at day 7,there was no significant difference in the number of apoptotic cells between the atorvastatin group and the sham operation group (12.69 ± 3.35 vs.9.33 ± 2.07; P =0.148).Immunohistochemical method showed that the numbers of CytC positive cells increased first and then decreased in the saline control group and the atorvastatin group,reached the peak at 12 h after modeling in te saline control group (68.19 ± 11.93) and at 1 d in the atorvastatin group (35.64 ± 9.12).There were significant differences in the numbers of CytC positive cells in perihematoma tissue at the same time point in each group (P =0.000).The numbers of CytC positive cells in the saline control group was significantly more than that in the sham operation group and the atorvastatin group (all P ＜0.05),but there was no significant difference in the numbers of CytC positive cells between the atorvastatin statin group and the sham group at day 7 (16.08 ± 3.80 vs.13.67 ± 2.94; P =0.349).Conelusions Atorvastatin may inhibit the release of CytC of nerve cells in perihematoma tissue after intracerebral hemorrhage,and thus reduce CytC-mediated apoptosis and neurological deficit after intracerebral hemorrhage.

Objective To investigate clinical efficacy of different ventilator parameters on acute left heart failure.Methods One hundred and nineteen patients with acute left heart failure were randomly divided into A,B,C,D group.Patients in A,B,C,D groups were treated separately with higher air pressure,high pressure,medium pressure or low pressure respectively.In each group,clinical efficacy,heart rate (HR),arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2),pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2),partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) and pH were measured.Results There were significant differences among the four groups in terms of HR,PaO2,SpO2,PaCO2 and pH (F =32.21,29.46,12.34,36.47,18.38 ; P ＜ 0.05).Compared with that in A,C and D group,the levels of HR,PaO2,SpO2,PaCO2 and pH in B group were significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).Meanwhile those indices in B group were difference among before and after treatment (t =12.25,13.46,8.75,9.83,2.58 ;P ＜ 0.05).The efficacy rates of four groups were significant different (x2 =0.97,P =0.012),and in B group was 93.1％,higher than that of other 3 groups(71.0％,65.6％,51.8％ ;P ＜0.05).Condusion The ventilator parameters(10-15 cmH2O,55％-75％ FiO2 at beginning and later revised the FiO2 to 30％-40％) was proved to be worthy in treating acute left heart failure.

Exosomes are extracellular nanovesicles secreted by a variety of cell types such as cardiomyocyte, hepatocytes, and stem cells. They carry specific sets of mRNA, microRNA, and proteins, which play a role in intercellular communication in almost each physiological and pathological process. Exosomes, which are released after tissue cell injury, can initiate repair/regeneration responses by triggering inflammation and active fibroblast, and finally lead to tissue fibrosis. However, exosomes released by stem cells can retard tissue fibrosis by enhancing cell survival and reducing apoptosis. In this paper, we reviewed the research progress in the relationship between exosomes and tissue fibrosis.

Objective To determine blood/gas and tissue/gas partition coefficients of sevoflurane, isoflurane and halothane and evaluate the effects of pregnancy on them. Methods Ten 18-22 day pregnant and 10 non-pregnant SD rats were killed under pentobarbital anesthesia. The tissue specimens of heart, liver, kidney and brain were obtained and made into homogenates respectively. The blood/gas and tissue/gas partition coefficients of sevoflurane, isoflurane and halothane were determined using a method of 2-stage headspace equilibration by gas chromatography. Results Blood/gas and brain/gas partition coefficients were lower in pregnant group than in non-pregnant group (P

Objective A quantitative study of the DNA skeletal muscle cell nuclei during 0～96h postmortem was performed.Method By the histochemical and image analysis.Result The color and the areas of the nuclei stained with the Feulgen staining method became fainter and smaller gradually at 12 hpm. There was a linear relationship between the degradation rate of the nuclear DNA and the length of the PMI.Conclusion The quantitative image analysis of DNA has a wide prospect of application, but the method has been studied further in aspects of the precise and standadization of the method as well as the effects exerted on the results from the study materials.
