A Review Many studies indicate that apoptosis is involved in the progression of congestive heart failure. At present, mechanisms that mitochondria regulates cell apoptosis is widely accepted.Cardiac myocytes have abundant mitochondria,which plays an important role in maintenance of cell physiological function. Recent studies find that cardiac energy metabolic shifts occur as a normal response to diverse physiologic and dietary conditions and as a component of the pathophysiologic processes which accompany cardiac hypertrophy, heart failure, and myocardial ischemia.Both clinical and experimental studies show that cardiac function can be improved and apoptosis is inhibited by intervention in energetic metabolism of myocytes.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the status and tendency of the application of antihyperlipidemics drugs in Chongqing area. METHODS: The use of antihyperlipidemics drugs in 28 hospitals of Chongqing from 2004 to 2007 was analyzed statistically in respect of the consumption sum, DDDs and DDC. RESULTS: The mean annual incremental ratio of the consumption sum of antihyperlipidemics drugs reached over 33.80%. Simvastatin has been dominated the first place over the 4 years in terms of consumption sum and DDDs; the consumption sum of atorvastatin has been on the rise but that of Gemfibrozil decreased year on year with mean annual decrement of 60%. CONCLUSION: Statins assumed a dominant position among all the antihyperlipidemics drugs used in Chongqing area and its use has great potential.

Objective To investigate the situation of implementation of community home endowment nursing services in Yancheng City to provide basis for developing nursing services for the elderly.Methods Survey was conducted for the 255 elderly in 15 aged-service stations.We used the multistage random sampling by questionnaire and interview.Results There was difference in the need of community home endowment service,the situation of implementation,and in the service evaluation.Conclusions Nursing service for old people in community home endowment is still developing in elementary step.We should establish the normative and exercisable quality specifications and evaluation systems of nursing service for old people,in order to assure quality of nursing service.

Objective To investigate the effect of ulinastatin on postoperative cardiac troponin I ( cTnI) in patients underwent carotid endarterectomy ( CEA) under general anesthesia. Methods Forty patients with severe symptomatic carotid artery stenosis underwent unilateral CEA under general anesthesia from January 2011 to March 2012 were divided into either a ulinastatin group or a control group according to a random number table ( n=20 in each group) . Patients in the ulinastatin group received 500 000 U of ulinastatin via veins before induction of anesthesia. The patients in the control group were given the same amount of isotonic saline. The serum concentrations of cardiac troponin I ( cTnI ) were detected before surgery and at day 1,2,and 3 after procedure. Myocardial injury was defined as the cTnI peak concentration>0. 04μg/L . Results The levels of serum cTnI before procedure and at day 1,2,and 3 after procedure in the ulinastatin group were median (M) 0. 00 (0. 00-0. 03) μg/L,0. 07 (0. 00-1. 45) μg/L,0. 01 (0. 00-1. 21)μg/L,and 0. 05 (0. 00-0. 89)μg/L,respectively;those in the control group were 0. 00 (0. 00-0. 01)μg/L,0. 00 (0. 00-1. 42)μg/L,0. 00 (0. 00-1. 39)μg/L,and 0. 00 (0. 00-1. 24)μg/L, respectively. At day 1 after procedure,6 patients ( 30%) in the control group and 11 ( 55%) in the ulinastatin group occurred myocardial injury. There was no significant difference between the two groups (P<0. 05). In all the patients with the increased cTnI levels,the peak cTnI occurred at the first day after procedure,however,they did not reach the level ( >1. 5μg/L) of indicating patients occurring myocardial infarction. Conclusion Ulinastatin may not decrease the postoperative serum cTnI levels in CEA patients under general anesthesia. For whether to the CEA patients have myocardial protective effect,more samples are needed to be confirmed.

Objective To investigate the changes in the expression of inflammatory cytokines in serum and aorta of rats with chronic renal failure.Methods Animal model of chronic renal failure was established by single nephrectomy and partial ligation of the contralateral renal artery.The rats were randomly divided into three groups(10 each):normal control group(Con),chronic renal failure group(CRF),rats with chronic renal failure and treated with proteasome inhibitor MG-132 group(CRF+M).The protein expression of TNF? was detected by immunohistochemistry and image analysis,the levels of TNF? and IL-1? of peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC) in blood plasma and culture supernatant were detected by ELISA.Results The protein expression of TNF? 4 and 6 months after operation significantly increased in aorta of CRF group compared with that in CON group(10.7?1.3 vs 4.3?1.7,12.6?2.2 vs 4.3?1.1,P

AIM: To study the inhibitiory effects of Fuerkang Injection (sweet worm wood oil,glycyrrhetate and Vitamin A acetate) and its ingredients on SMMC-7721 and NB4 cell lines,in order to understand its antitumour spectrum and reasonability of its composition. METHODS: SMMC-7721 and NB4 cell lines were treated with Fuerkang Injection and its ingredients under the same concentration for 48 h,adriamycin was used as standard comparison,inhibitiory effect on growth of two cell lines was detected by MTT method. RESULTS: At 1.260 ?g/mL,the inhibition rate of Fuerkang Injection and its decomposed recipes preparations 1,2,3 to SMMC-7721 cell lines were 54.78%,55.49%,53.18%,53.79%,hemi-inhibitory concentration IC_50 were 0.415,0.376,0.715 and 0.636 ?g/mL,respectively.The inhibition rate of NB4 cell lines were 88.6%,82.5%,77.9% and 76.9%,hemi-inhibitory concentration IC_50 were 0.091,0.108 1,0.084 and 0.120 ?g/mL. CONCLUSION: Fuerkang Injection and its ingredients have significant inhibitory action on SMMC-7721 and NB4 cell lines,each component herb in the compound preparation has synergetic effects.

Objective: To study the relationship between mental health and achievement motivation of teachers.Methods: 322 high school teachers completed SCL-90 and Achievement Motivation Scale.Results: The percent of high-score teachers with at least one SCL-90 subscale scored more than 3 is more than 5%.There is obvious correlation between the score of SCL-90 and the AMS's.Conclusion: The high level of achievement-seeking or the high level of failure-avoiding is harmful to the mental health of teachers.
