Objective To observe the effects of misoprostol on the reduction of postpartum bleeding in cesarean section.Methods With oxytocin as control,the amount of bleeding during and two hours after cesarean section was observed.Results The mean amount of bleeding was (232.0±46.6) ml in misoprostol group and (385.0±74.7) ml in oxytocin group respectively.The difference between the two groups was significant (P＜0.01).Conclusion Misoprostol is more effective to improve uterin contraction than oxytocin and is better in the reduction of postpartum bleeding with safety and convenience.

Zinc-fingers and homeoboxes 2 (ZHX2) is a novel transcriptional repression factor participating in regulating the expression of alpha fetal protein (AFP). ZHX2 has been confirmed to be largely correlated with development and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and invasion of multiple myeloma.

Objective To evaluate the relationship of biological status of HPV 16 and expression of L1 protein with the degree of cervical tumorigenesis.Methods Sixty-one patients with cervical lessions were enrolled and divided into five groups according to pathology of cervical lesions,including chronic cervicitis(n = 27),cervical intraepithelial neoplasia(CIN) Ⅰ-Ⅱ(n = 10),carcinoma in situ(n = 8),early-stage(n =7)and mid/late-stage(n = 9)of cervical carcinoma.HPV type and its biological status were detected by PCR amplification,and L1 protein in HPV 16 positive tissues was detected by Western blot.Kruskal-Wallis was used to compare between the groups,and Pearson correlation analysis was used to evaluate the relationship of HPV biological status and L1 protain expression with cervical lesions.ResultsFifty-three out of 61 patients with cervical lesions were detected with HPV positive(86.9%).All 25 patients with chronic cervicitis were in HPV free mode; in CIN Ⅰ-Ⅱ group,6 patients were in free and 2 in integral mode; in carcinoma in situ group,1 patient in free,3 in mixed and 3 in integral mode; in the early-stage cervical cancer group,2 patients in mixed and 4 in integral mode; in mid/late-stage cancer group,1 patient in mixed and 6 in integral mode.A strong positive correlation was found between the HPV in integral mode and the severity of cervical lesions(r = 0.705,P ＜0.01).The expression of L1 protein was negatively correlated with the aggravation of cervical lesions in HPV 16-positive patients(r = -0.755,P ＜0.01).Conclusion The integral mode of HPV16 and low expression of L1 protein may have predictive value for the severity of cervical lesions.

Objective To observe and explore clinical efficacy ofTianma-Gouteng decoction combined valsartan in the treatment of patients with renal hypertension and its effects on renal function. Methods A total of 130 patients with renal hypertension were enrolled and randomly divided into a study group (68 patients) and a control group (62 patients). Both groups were given prescription of lower sodium diet, exercising and enalaprilscheme. On this basis, the control group plus valsartan, and the study group was further added withTianma-Gouteng decoction. After 2 courses treatment, renal function, and blood pressure of both groups were compared, and clinical efficacy on blood pressure were evaluated.Results After treatment, the SBP (126.8 ± 9.1 mmHg vs. 134.1 ± 8.8 mmHg,t=4.648), DBP (82.4± 5.0 mmHgvs. 85.3 ± 5.4 mmHg, t=3.167), Scr (148.5 ± 46.3μmol/Lvs. 172.1 ± 52.0μmol/L, t=2.723), BUN (8.3 ± 2.7 mmol/Lvs. 9.7 ± 3.1 mmol/L,t=2.734) and 24hAlb (1.7 ± 0.6 gvs. 1.9 ± 0.7 g,t=2.209) in the study group were significantly lower than control group (P<0.05 orP<0.01). The total effective rate in the study group was significantly increased than that in the control group (91.2%vs. 79.0%;χ2=0.383,P=0.050).Conclusion Valsartan combined with Tianma-Gouteng decocntion can reduce blood pressure, and alleviate the kidney damage effectively.

The serum uric acid (312.01 ± 33.56mmol/Lvs.350.12 ± 35.21 mol/L;t=6.015,P<0.001), BUN (6.22 ± 0.91 mmol/Lvs.11.50 ± 4.01 mmol/L;t=9.586,P<0.001), SCr (87.32 ± 13.90mmol/Lvs.122.54 ± 18.37mmol/L;t=11.743,P<0.001), 24 h urine protein (0.7 ± 0.2 gvs.1.2 ± 0.5 g;t=7.087,P<0.001), urineb2 microglobulin (220.3 ± 90.3mg/Lvs.330.1 ± 90.1mg/L;t=6.611,P<0.01), serum TG (5.11 ± 0.50 mmol/Lvs.6.30 ± 0.50 mmol/L;t=12.923,P<0.001), serum TC (1.50 ± 0.50 mmol/Lvs.2.30 ± 0.52 mmol/L;t=8.689,P<0.001) in the combined treatment group were significantly higher than those in the standard treatment group. The total effective rate inthe standard treatment group was significantly higher than those in the standard treatment group (89.7%vs.70.0%;χ2=5.871,P=0.015). ConclusionYishen-Lishi formula combined with conventional treatmentmay protect renal function, and reduce the blood lipids, its therapeutic effect is superior to conventional treatment alone in patients with gouty nephropathy.

Strokes due to atrial fibrillation (AF) are common and frequently devastating.While oral anticoagulant agents are the mainstay in the prevention of embolic events,they have several limitations and not all patients can tolerate them long term.The left atrial appendage (LAA) has been identified as the source of thrombus formation in nonvalvular AF.Several LAA closure devices have been developed,they have been successful in stroke prevention in patients with nonvalvular AF and fewer periprocedural complications.This article reviews the application of percutaneous left atrial appendage closure for stroke prevention in patients with nonvalvular AF.

Objective:To investigate the effects of different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (H 2O 2) on the expression of histone deacetylase-2(HDAC-2) and mitogen activated protein kinases phosphatases-1(MKP-1) in A549 cells. Methods:The experimental models of A549 cells were established by intervening of different concentrations of H 2O 2(0, 100, 200, 400, 600, 800 μmol/L)for 2 h, 4 h, 8 h, 12 h and 24 h, respectively.The survival rate of A549 cells was detected by thiazolyl blue(MTT) assay, and the apoptosis of A549 cells was tested by lactic dehydrogenase(LDH) assay.The expression of HDAC-2 and MKP-1 protein was detected by Western blot. Results:(1)MTT results showed that compared with the control group (H 2O 2 was 0 μmol/L), the survival rate of A549 cells was decreased with the increase of H 2O 2 concentration at 2 h, 4 h, 8 h, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h. (2)LDH results showed that, compared with the control group, the inhibition rate of A549 cells increased with the increase of H 2O 2 concentration at 2 h, 4 h, 8 h, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h. (3)The expression of HDAC-2 protein decreased ( F=14.588, P<0.01), and the expression of MKP-1 protein increased ( F=64.297, P<0.01) in a concentration-dependent manner with the increase of H 2O 2 concentration at 12 h after H 2O 2 treatment. Conclusions:H 2O 2 participates in oxidative stress injury of lung cells by regulating the expression of HDAC-2 and MKP-1.

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a common chronic respiratory complication in preterm infants without fully understand the mechanism or effective treatment, which could significantly affect the survival rate and prognosis of these infants. Studies have confirmed that epigenetic mechanisms, including histone modification, non-coding RNA and DNA methylation may play an essential role in the onset and development of BPD. And most related epigenetic changes are reversible, which might serve as a potential target for BPD treatment. Therefore, further studies on epigenetics will shed light on a better understanding of the pathogenesis, prevention, and treatment of BPD.
