【Objective】To explore a method for the establishment of animal model of coronary heart disease(CHD) with the blending of phlegm and blood stasis.【Methods】Methods of TCM-WM combination(traditional Chinese medicine integrated with western medicine) and disease-syndrome combination were used to establish a model.The model was evaluated by the changes of symptoms,signs and laboratory indexes and by the effect of blood-stasis-removing and phlegm-resolving herbs on the model.Sixty Wistar rats were randomized into normal group,model group,low-dose herbal medicine group and high-dose herbal medicine group.The normal group was fed with routine forage and normal saline,and the other three groups with high-fat forage and fat milk(10mL?kg~(-1)?d~(-1)).Low-and high-dose herbal medicine groups were given Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction combined with Gualou Xiebai Banxia Decoction in the dosages of 12 and 24 10g?kg~(-1)?d~(-1)respectively by gastric gavage,and the model group given the same volume of normal saline for 7 consecutive weeks.Coronary artery ligation was performed in the 35~(th) day.The changes of electrocardiogram(ECG) were observed before and after the modeling,and blood lipid,myocardial enzymes and hemorrheological parameters were determined.The heart weight was examined to calculate heart index.【Results】ECG in the model group indicated severe myocardial ischemia,which may be relieved by herbal medicine.Serum contents of cholesteril,tryglyceride and creatine kinase(CK),whole blood viscosity,hematocrit and heart index were obviously increased in the model group,while the above indexes decreased to different degrees in herbal medicine groups (P

Objective To approach the effective treatment for simple bone cyst in adult. Methods Forty-eight cases were divided into two groups by visiting order, 20 cases (steroid group) were treated by prednisolone acetate and 28 cases (open resection and allograft group) were treated by open resection and allograft. The curative effect were contrasted between two groups. Results The follow-up time was 5-46(26.58 ± 10.81) months. Aecording to the Chigira's healing criteria for simple bone cyst, grade Ⅰ , Ⅱ , Ⅲ,V were 1, 2, 10 and 7 cases respectively in steroid group, contrasting to 0, 3, 5 and 20 cases respectively in open resection and allograft group. The recovery rate was 85.0%(17/20) in steroid group and 89.3%(25/28) in open resection and allograft group, which was no statistically significant difference between two groups (P＞0.05). Conclusions Although the two remedies are no obvious difference in curative effect,simple bone cyst at lower extremity of weight-bearing with obvious osteolysis in adult is recommended to open resection and allograft, otherwise or at upper extremity to steroid injection.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the feasibility and initial outcome of reconstructing the defect femur by unicondylar osteoarticular altograft after resection of distal femur tumor.METHODS:Between July 2003 and August 2008,a total of 12 patients with distal femur tumor treated by unicondylar resection and fresh-frozen unicondylar osteoarticular allograft reconstruction of bone defects were retrospectively reviewed at the Department of Orthopedics,General Hospital of Chinese PLA.Of 12 patients,5 medial and 7 lateral femoral condyles were involved.There are 8 patients suffering from giant cell tumor,including 2 patients complicating with pathologic fracture,3patients suffering from osteosamoma and 1 patient suffering from low-grade fibrosarcoma.Before transplantation,MRI and/or CT were used to determine that the tumor was definitely limited in half condyle.Three cycles of chemotherapy preoperatively and six cycles of chemotherapy postoperatively were conducted in patients suffering from osteosarcoma and fibrosarcoma.Patients with giant cell tumor did not receive any intraoperative adjuvant treatment.The surgical margin of resected tumors was evaluated by histological examination.All patients were followed by radiograph or CT.Postoperative function was evaluated by Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) scoring system at the time of the latest follow-up.RESULTS:All patients were followed up.The patients were followed up mean 35 months after transplantation.None of the patient died.No local recurrences and metastases were found at the latest follow-up.No evident immune rejection and deep infection were seen.No plate loosening or breakage was observed.All patients had their grafts retained at the time of the latest follow-up.Three patient's allograft showed subchondral bone collapse and articular deterioration,but the function was good.Instability of the knee joint was noted in 3 patients.The mean MSTS functional score (totally 30 points) was 26 points.CONCLUSION:For some patients with giant cell tumor or malignant tumors with clearly defined margins after chemotherapy.When the lesions were limited in half condyle and enough surgical margins can be achieved,reconstruction of bone defect with unicondylar osteoarticular allografts after bone tumors were resected appears to be a reliable alternative.

Objective To evaluate the perioperative nursing and its efficacy in the blepharocoloboma reconstruction with island flap of frontal branch of superficial temporal artery. Methods A retrospective nursing experience was summarized in 5 patients undergoing blepharocoloboma reconstruction with island flap of frontal branch of superficial temporal artery. We paid attention to the mental nursing of patients besides the routine nursing.The growth of skin flap was scrupulously oberved and gave selective disposal when untoward problems occurred. Results The skin flap survived in four cases and epidermis necrosis with flap basis survive took place in one case.The color and quality of survived skin flap was similar to adjacent skin which could effectively protect eyeballs.No severe complications occurred. Conclusions Effective mental nursing and health instruction before operation and careful observation and nursing of skin flap after operation proved to be pivotal for successful operation.

Objective To investigate the significance of Dezocine combining Fentanyl used for postoperative PCIA in breast cancer patients.Methods One hundred and twenty six patients with ASA Ⅰ-Ⅲ entered the study.All patients were scheduled for breast cancer operation under intravenous analgesia with tube insertion and treated with PCIA after the operation.They were randomly divided into Fentanyl group (n =63) and Dezocine combining Fentanyl group(n =63).VAS,Ramsay,BCS in two groups were compared al 12 h,24 h,48 h after operation.Side effect was also detected.The changes of T cell subset and IL-2 were analyzed in the patients respectively at the first day before operation,at the first day after operation,at the seventh day after operation.Results At every time point,VAS in research group was significantly lower than that in control group(P ＜ 0.05).However,Ramsay in research group was obviously higher than that in control group(P ＜0,05).There were no significant differences in BCS between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).And no difference was found in the incidence of side effect between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Compared with control group,the changes of T cell subset,IL-2 had no significant differences in research group at the first day after operation and at the first day before operation (P ＞ 0.05).At the seventh day after operation,the levels of CD4 +,CD4 +/CD8 +,IL-2 in research group were obviously higher than those in control group (P ＜ 0.05).However,the percentage of CD8 + T cells in research group was significantly lower than that in control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Dezocine combining Fentanyl in PCIA can increase analgesia effect with less side effect.It is positive to improve immunologic function for breast carcinoma patients after operation.

This paper was aimed to study the genetic diversity and genetic relationship of germplasm resource of Lonicerae Japonicae Flos in order to provide references for its breeding. A total of 36 samples from 18 farm varieties and wild species, as well as related species of Lonicera japonica Thunb. from the main production areas were studied by ISSR-PCR markers. The Jaccard coefficient was worked out by NTSYS-pc software. And a cluster dendrogram of different samples was established based on unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA). The re-sults showed that 12 ISSR primers generated 129 loci of which 114 loci were polymorphic. The average percentage of polymorphic bands (PPB) is 88.37%. In the cluster dendrogram, different samples of Lonicera japonica are in the same group, which showed that it is a natural species; the wild sample is separated from the cultivated samples; the traditional type-Maohua is relative stable, but the type of Jizhuahua includes complicated varieties, and it has obvi-ous genetic variation; the new variety Jiufeng 1 has already distinct into one stable type. It was concluded that the ISSR method was suitable for germplasm identification, genetic diversity analysis of Lonicerae Japonicae Flos, thus providing a theoretical foundation for its cultivation and breeding.

Objective To investigate the liver protective effects of Siphonostegia chinensis decoction in rats with liver fibrosis induced by carbon tetrachloride(CCl4).Methods A total of 120 male SD rats were randomly divided into six groups: a blank control group, a model group, a Siphonostegia chinensis decoction group, a Salvia miltiorrhiza decoction group, a Rhizoma polygoni cuspidati decoction group and a polyene phosphatidylcholine capsules group, with 20 rats in each group. The model of liver fibrosis in rats was induced by subcutaneous injection with CCl4, except the blank group. Except rats in the blank control group and the model group, the rats in the other four groups were treated with Siphonostegia chinensis decoction, Salvia miltiorrhiza decoction, Rhizoma polygoni cuspidati decoction and polyene phosphatidylcholine capsules(10 ml/kg). The serum level of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)was determined with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, the fibrosis stage assessment were determined by histopathological examination.Results Compared with the model group, Siphonostegia chinensis decoction group significantly reduced the stage of liver fibrosis(P<0.01)and there were no obvious difference in liver fibrosis stage among the Salvia miltiorrhiza decoction group, Rhizoma polygoni cuspidati decoction group and polyene phosphatidylcholine capsules group, and the Siphonostegia chinensis decoction group(allP>0.05).Compared with liver fibrosis model group(368.06±24.90)U/L, the serum level of TNF-α in the Siphonostegia chinensis decoction group(336.61± 20.20)U/L significantly reduced(P<0.01), and there were no obvious difference among the Siphonostegia chinensis decoction group, the Salvia miltiorrhiza decoction group(337.81±21.04)U/L, the Rhizoma polygoni cuspidati decoction group(338.95±24.43)U/L and the polyene phosphatidylcholine capsules group(337.11± 23.64) U/L(allP>0.05).Conclusion Siphonostegia chinensis decoction has certain liver protective effect in rats with liver fibrosis induced by CCl4.

Aim To investigate the effect of simvastatin ( Sim ) on endogenous antioxidant system after acute myocardial infarction ( AMI ) and its potential mecha-nisms. Methods The acute myocardial infarction ( AMI ) rat models were made by ligation left anterior descending of coronary artery. Then the successful models were randomly divided into myocardial infarc-tion group ( MI group) and simvastatin group ( Sim,20 mg·kg-1·d-1), another group without ligation left anterior descending of coronary artery served as sham group(Sham group). The Sim group was administered simvastatin by gavage for 7 days. MI group and Sham group received saline. Hemodynamic parameters, lipid levels, troponinI ( c-TnI ) and lactate dehydrogenase ( LDH) concentrations were examined after 7days, and the levels of superoxide dismutase ( SOD) and glutathi-one peroxidase ( GP) of myocardial antioxidant system were detected by ELISA. The expression of cardiac p-Akt and p-eNOS protein were detected by Western blot. Results Acute myocardial infarction significant-ly lowered cardiac hemodynamic parameters, increased serum c-TnI and LDH levels, lowered levels of SOD and GP, and lowered the expression of p-Akt and p-eNOS protein. However, Sim could effectively prevent the deterioration of cardiac function, reduce serum c-TnI and LDH levels, increase levels of SOD and GP, and increase p-Akt and p-eNOS protein expression. Conclusion Early using Sim can effectively improve heart function after acute myocardial infarction, acti-vate myocardial antioxidant system,and reduce myocar-dial necrosis, which may be related to increasing the expression of p-Akt and p-eNOS.
