Objective To investigate the effect of Tongxinluo capsule combined with metoprolol on elderly patients with coronary heart disease and angina pectoris and its influence on hemorheology and inflammatory factors.Methods 135 elderly patients with angina pectoris of coronary heart disease were selected,and they were randomly divided into treatment group (68 cases) and control group (67 cases).The treatment group was treated with Tongxinluo capsule combined with metoprolol,while the control group was treated with metoprolol.The two groups were treated for 8 weeks.The curative effect of the two groups was compared,the number and duration of angina pectoris,the changes of hemorheology and inflammatory factors before and after treatment were compared.Results The total effective rate of the treatment group (94.12％) was higher than 76.12％ of the control group (P ＜ 0.05).After treatment,the frequency and duration of angina pectoris in the treatment group were (6.03 ± 1.21) times/week and (3.02 ± 0.76) min/time,respectively,which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(9.87 ± 1.46) times/week and (4.86 ± 0.98) min/time] (t =16.649,12.201,all P ＜ 0.05).After treatment,the whole blood viscosity at high shear rate [(3.76 ± 0.41) mPa/s],whole blood viscosity in low shear [(8.13 ± 0.76) mPa/s],plasma viscosity [(1.23 ± 0.08) mPa/s],erythrocyte aggregation index [(2.06 ± 0.27)],fibrinogen [(2.46 ± 0.41) g/L] in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group[(4.53 ± 0.52) mPa/s,(9.61 ± 0.89) mPa/s,(2.09 ± 0.27) mPa/s,(2.63 ± 0.35),(3.53 ± 0.62) g/L] (t =9.562,10.396,25.170,10.604,11.844,all P ＜ 0.05).After treatment,the interleukin-6 (IL-6) [(8.49 ± 1.76) pg/mL],intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1)[(85.25 ± 8.92) pg/mL],C reactive protein (CRP) [(8.74 ± 1.76) mg/L] in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group[IL-6 (11.32 ± 2.10) pg/mL,ICAM-1 (103.42 ± 10.72) pg/mL,CRP (14.98 ± 2.24)mg/L] (t =8.491,10.712,18.012,all P＜0.05).Conclusion Tongxinluo capsule combined with metoprolol in the treatment of elderly patients with coronary heart disease angina pectoris has obvious curative effect,and can improve the patients'blood rheology and inflammatory reaction.

Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis is an autoimmune syndrome of central nervous system.The main clinical manifestations include psychiatric symptoms,movement disorders and seizures.It is often misdiagnosed as viral encephalitis.Tumors,especially the ovarian teratoma,play an important role in the disease.The prevalence in children is beyond imagination.Anti-NMDAR antibodies are specific diagnostic tests.Immune suppression is the main treatment.The first-line treatments include corticosteroids,intravenous immunoglobulin,and plasmapheresis.The second-line treatments include biological agents and cytotoxic drugs.Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for neurologic recovery.Overall prognosis is good.

ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between carotid atherosclerosis and progressing stroke.Methods103 patients with acute cerebral infarction within the first 24 hours from onset were tested with carotid color doppler ultrasonography during the first week from admission. Univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to examine the relationship between carotid intima media thickness (IMT), plaque structure, the degree of artery stenosis and the early deterioration of cerebral infarction.ResultsPrevalence of carotid plaque and thickness of IMT in patients with progressing stroke were higher than that in non progressing patients. In logistic regression, presence of carotid plaque was independent predictors of progressing stroke. Plaque size, extent of artery stenosis and IMT were not included in the regression model.ConclusionPlaque structure and its chemical feature may be the cause of progressing stroke.

To investigate the expression of androgen receptor (AR) in affected area of androgenetic alopecia (AA) and the relationship between its expression and various syndromes of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). [Me- thods ]Eighty cases of AA were classified as damp-heat syndrome of spleen and stomach and deficiency syndrome of liver and kidney. Expression level of AR in the alopecia scalp and non-alopecia scalp of the cases was detected with immunohistochemical method and was compared with 32 healthy volunteers.In the cases of AA, AR expression was positive in the granulocyte layer, spinous layer and basal layer of epiderm as well as in the fibroblast, vascular endothelial cells, nerve tissue, arrectores pilorum, sweat gland, sebaceous gland, hair root sheath and hair papilla of dermis;but it was negative in horny layer of epiderm, subcutaneous fat, internal root sheath, hair shaft cells and hair matrocytes. The total AR-positive rate and the AR-positive rate in epiderm, sweat gland, sebaceous gland, hair root sheath and hair papilla were higher in the alopecia scalp of the cases than those in non-alopecia scalp of the cases and in healthy volunteers (P0.05).[Conclusion]AR is related to the pathogenesis of AA and the local abnormal AR content may be one of the pathogenic factors of AA. Pathological feature and AR expression differ with the syndrome patterns: AR expression rate is higher in AA with damp-heat of spleen and stomach than those with deficiency of liver and kidney.

【Objective】To investigate the effect of serum containing Yifa Compound(YC) on the growth of hair papilla cells.【Methods】Hair papilla cells were cultured in vitro.After subculture for 4～6 generations,hair papilla cells at logarithmic growth phase were cultured with YC-containing serum(at the concentrations of 1.25,2.5 and 5.0?g/L respectively) and blank serum respectively.After the culturing,the proliferation curve of hair papilla cells was drafted by methylthiazolyltetrazolium(MTT) assay and their growth was observed under scanning electron microscope.【Results】Optical density of hair papilla cells was higher at logarithmic growth phase while lower at growth lag phase in high-dose YC-containing serum group than that in blank serum group.Moderate-and high-dose YC-containing serum promoted the agglutinating radial growth.【Conclusion】Serum containing YC can promote the proliferation of hair papilla cells.

OBJECTIVE:To observe clinical efficacy of recurrent oral ulceration with combination of Zhibai dihuang pills and Compound danshen tablets. METHODS:110 patients with recurrent oral ulceration were selected and divided into control group and tri-al group with 55 cases in each group. Control group individually received vitamin C 0.2 g/time+vitamin B2 10 mg/time+levamisole 45 mg/time,three times a day,Cetylpyridinium chloride collutory,15 ml/time,for 1 min,3 times a day. Trial group received Zhibai di-huang pills orally,8 pills/time,Compound danshen tablets,3 tablets/time,3 times a day. A treatment course lasted for 10 days. Both groups received 2 courses of treatment. Therapeutic efficacy,VAS and relapse were observed and compared between 2 groups. RE-SULTS:The cure rate(80.00%)and total effective rate(94.55%)of trial group were higher than those of control group(47.27%, 74.55%),with statistical significance(P<0.05). The VAS score of trial group were significantly lower than that of control group after 3 and 7 days of treatment,with statistical significance(P<0.05). After 2,6,10 and 12 months of treatment,the recurrence rates of tri-al group were 0,7.27%,9.09% and 16.36%,which were all significantly lower than those of control group(18.18%,34.55%, 47.27%,56.36%),with statistical significance(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Combination of Zhibai dihuang pills and Compound danshen tablets has definite effect on recurrent oral ulcer,showing high cure rate and not easily recur.

Helicobacter pylori is closely related to many digestive system diseases,such as chronic gas-tritis,digestive ulcer,gastric mucosa associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma and gastric cancer,also leads to chil-dren with iron deficiency anemia,growth retardation,asthma,allergic diseases etc. So it is a key strategy to pre-vent and treat these diseases by eradicating Helicobacter pylori. Due to the increasing rates of antimicrobial resist-ance of clarithromycin and metronidazole,the eradication rate of standard triple therapy is 1ess than 80%in re-cent years. Especially in areas of high clarithromycin resistance and standard triple therapy have not been recom-mended as first-line therapy,it is necessary to investigate a new therapeutic strategy to improve the eradication rate of Helicobacter pylori. The new treatments for eradication of Helicobacter pylori in children is mainly based on sequential therapy,bismuth-based therapy,concomitant therapy and probiotics treatment. This article reviews the research progress of the new treatments in recent years.

Objective To investigate the clinical risk factors of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA ) combined with elevated serum amylase(AMS). Methods Totally 263 patients with DKA were enrolled in our study. They were divided into 2 groups according to the level of AMS:DKA with normal AMS (DKA,n=188);DKA with elevated AMS(HAMS,n = 75 ). HAMS patients then were divided into two subgroups according to the diagnosis with acute pancreatitis(AP)(HAMS+ AP,n = 25 )and without AP (HAMS,n = 50 ). TG,FPG and AMS were measured and analyzed with univariate analysis and multivariate analysis. Results HAMS group patients had a ratio of 28.5％ with elevated AMS and 9.5％ with AP.HAMS group had higher FPG,TG,HbA1 c,Na+ ,osmolality,BUN and Scr than DKA group(P <0.05).The levels of FPG,TG,osmolality,BUN and the time of CO2 CP recovery in HAMS+AP subgroup were all significantly higher than those in HAMS patients without AP (P < 0.05 ). Correlation analysis showed that HAMS was positively correlated with TG,FPG,Na+ ,Osmolality and BUN(P <0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that hypertriglyceridemia was the independent risk factor of DKA combined with HAMS(OR 1.244,P <0.01),and was the independent risk factor of DKA combined with AP(OR 1.211,P <0.05). Conclusion Hypertriglyceridemia is the related risk factor of DKA combined with HAMS and AP. This study provides a theoretical basis to early screen patients with hyperamylasemia in DKA.

Objective To investigate the biological effects of nonthermal plasma (NTP) combined with X-ray irradiation on human hepatocellular carcinoma in nude mice.Methods By subcutaneous inoculation, tumor models of human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 in nude mice were established, and these mice were divided into control group, NTP treatment group, X-ray irradiation group, combined treatment group.The changes of tumor microenvironment were observed using hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining.The terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated nick end labeling (TUNEL) was used to determine the level of neuronal apoptosis in tumor tissues.The expression of metal matrix proteinase-2 (MMP-2) was detected by immunohistochemical assay.Transmission electron microscope was used to observe cell structure changes.Results The final tumor volumes of control group, NTP treatment group, X-ray irradiation group, combined treatment group were (543.96±108.45), (436.54±65.49), (351.66±56.68), (281.97±35.60)mm3, with a statistically significant difference (F=9.63, P=0.01), and the difference between X-ray radiation group and the combination treatment group was significant (P=0.05).HE staining showed that there was a larger area of necrosis in the combined treatment group compared with the other groups.TUNEL showed that the apoptotic indexes were (0.95±0.13)%, (5.82±0.26)%, (7.53±0.43)%, (11.07±0.35)% respectively, with a statistically significant difference (F=547.76, P=0.00), and the difference between X-ray radiation group and the combination treatment group was statistically significant (P=0.00).The immune scores of each group were 12, 9, 9, 2.Electron microscopic observation showed that there were more apoptotic bodies in the combined treatment group than those in the other groups, accompanied by mitochondrial edema.Conclusion NTP and X-ray irradiation therapy in the treatment of human hepatocellular carcinoma in nude mice model has a synergistic effect.Probably, it can be a new type of treatment in curing cancers.
