Objective To investigate the effect of bezafibrate on serum pro-inflammatory cytokine levels and blood pressure change in patients with hypertriglyceridemia and hypertension after antihypertensive therapy with extended release nifedipine. Methods Fifty-eight patients with both hypertriglyceridemia and hypertension, which was treated with extended release nifedipine, were randomized into 2 groups: bezafibrate group (n=30) and placebo group (n=28). Changes in levels of blood lipids, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), tumor necrosis factor?(TNF-?) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were observed following the treatment. A correlation between these changes and blood pressure was analyzed in both groups. Results The levels of triglyceride, total and low density lipoprotein cholesterol were significantly reduced (P

Objective To investigate the feasibility of qualitative diagnosis of small pulmonary nodules (≤1 cm) using multi‐plane reconstruction (MPR) and volume rendering (VR) techniques based on spiral CT scan .Methods The CT images of 190 patients with small pulmonary nodules (≤1 cm) were analyzed retrospectively ,and compared the detection rates of several imaging features among different pathological types of nodules .Results In these 190 patients who were diagnosed as malignance by CT ,168 were confirmed by pathology with an accuracy rate of 88 .4% .The imaging features such as ground glass nodule ,vascular convergence in the benign group were significantly lower than those in the malignant group ,however the solid nodule was observed more frequently in the malignant group (P<0 .05) .The significant differences in other imaging features were not found (P>0 .05) .Except air bronchogram and vascular convergence ,some imaging features (pure ground glass nodule ,part solid ground glass nodule ,solid nodule) showed a decreasing trend ,whereas some others (speculation ,lobulation ,vacuole sign and pleural tag ) were increased among different pathological types of malignant nodules .The linear trend passed the significant test at 0 .017 level .Conclusion CT multi‐plane reconstruction (MPR) and volume rendering (VR) techniques can sufficiently demonstrate the malignant signs in small pulmonary nodules (≤1 cm ) ,can improve to identify different pathological types of such small pulmonary lesions .

Interest teaching method aims to inspire students' initiative and inquiry in learning.In the teaching process,we used some teaching methods including class lead-in,relevant extracurricular books and websites,scene representation,lectures on special content and arrangements of the review writing.It is important to maintain students' motivate and interest in learning human parasitology,therefore,we should no longer make students passively accept but the initiatively make inquiry learning.

Total 406 community residents entered in fitness improvement program with “management by objectives model of health promotion” from 2009 to 2011.The fitness status was monitored by Xuhui Physical Constitution Center before and after entering the program.The results showed that the level of fitness assessment,the composite score,lung capacity and reaction time were improved with the years (P < 0.01) ; the step index and sitting-and-reach test in 2010 was better than those in 2009(P < 0.01) ; the grip strength in 2010 and 2011 was better than that in 2009 (P < 0.01); the test of single leg-standing with closing eyes in 2011 was better than that in 2009(P < 0.05).There was no difference in body mass index before and after program (P > 0.05).The results indicate that physical fitness and overall health can be improved by management by objectives model for health promotion.

Objective To observe the influence of large dose of mecobalamin combining with breviscapin injection on the levels of serum tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and C-reactive protein (CRP)and the antithrombin Ⅲ(AT-Ⅲ)activity in the patients with diabetic foot(DF).Methods 240 cases of DF were divided into 4 groups according to the random number table method,60 cases in each group:the large dose of mecobalamin plus breviscapin injection group (group Ⅳ);the routine dose of mecobalamin plus brevis-capin injection group (group Ⅲ);the simple breviscapin injection group (group Ⅱ)and the routine dose of mecobalamin group (groupⅠ).4 weeks were taken as a course of treatment.The TNF-α,CRP levels and the AT-Ⅲ activity before and after the treat-ment were detected and performed the comparative analysis.Results The levels of TNF-α,CRP and AT-Ⅲ before treatment had no statistically significant differences among in the four groups (P >0.05).Compared with the results before treatment,the levels of TNF-αand CRP after treatment in 4 groups were obviously decreased and the AT-Ⅲ level was significantly increased,the differ-ences had statistical significance (P <0.05);compared with the group Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ,the difference in the group Ⅳ had statistical significance(P <0.05).Conclusion Mecobalamin combined with breviscapin injection is able to decrease the serum inflammatory factors such as TNF-αand CRP,and increase the AT-Ⅲ activity in the patients with DF,which is more significant when increasing the mecobalamin concentration.Therefore,adopting the therapeutical scheme of increasing the mecobalamin concentration combined with breviscapin injection could obviously decrease the inflammatory reaction of DF with good safety,which is one of effective meas-ures for increasing the curative effect of DF.

Objective To observe the effect of sinomenine(SINO) on immune function of adjuvant arthritis(AA) rats.Methods SD rats were randomized into normal group,model group,SINO groups(treated with gastric gavage of SINO at the doses of 60,120 and 240 mg/kg respectively),and glucosides of Tripterygium Wilfordii(30 mg/kg) group.Except the normal group,the rats in other groups received subcutaneous injection of the complete Freund's adjuvant 0.1mL into the left hind foot to induce AA.The medication began from 12 days after the modeling and lasted 12 days.The pedal swelling and joint function scores were observed in different time.Radioimmunoassay was used to detect the contents of interleukin-1?(IL-1?) and tumor necrosis factor ?(TNF-?) in synovial cells.Expression of IL-1? and TNF-? mRNA was examined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) assay.Results SINO at different concentrations decreased the pedal swelling and arthritis scores to various degrees,inhibited the production of IL-1? and TNF-? in the synovial cells,reduced the expression of IL-1? and TNF-? mRNA,and recovered the normal histological features of synovial cells in AA rats.Conclusion The therapeutic mechanism of SINO for rheumatoid arthritis may be related with the inhibition of secretion of inflammatory mediators in synovial cells,and with the recovery of histological features of synovial cells.

Objective To study the efficiency of the first time platelet transfusion in patients with blood diseases.Methods Investigate the effect of platelet transfusion in 87 patients with blood diseases.All the patients were transfused 10U platelet (platelet≥2.5×1011 ).Observe CCI after platelet transfusion and analyse the influence factors to the efficiency of the first time platelet transfusion such as the kind of diseases,splenomegaly,fever,age and sex.Results After platelet transfusion,66 patients (75.9 %) were effective.The efficancy rates were 80.0 %,78.1%,65.2 %,82.3 % in AA,ITP,AL,MDS (x2=2.88,P>0.05).In 31 patients with a fever and infaction the efficancy rate was 58.1%,but it was 85.7% in 56 patients without a fever and infaction (x2=8.3308,P<0.01).The efficancy rate in 59 patients with non-splenomegaly was 86.4 %.It was higher than that in 28 patients with splenomegaly which was 53.6%(x2=11.2033,P<0.01).The efficancy rate was 76.0% in male patients and it was 75.7 % in female patients (x2=- 0.0012,P>0.05).The efficancy rate was 74.5 % in young group (<60 years old)and 77.8 % in old group (≥60 years old)(x2=0.1231,P>0.05).Conclusion Fever and splenomegaly are the influence factors to the efficiency of the first time platelet transfusion.
