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 .

AIM:To analyze the killing efficiency of six kinds of contact lens solutions and solutions with arilin on free living Acanthamoeba culturedin vitroMETHODS:Six kinds of contact lens solutions were added into 96-well microtiter plates,respectively,with each care solutions used 48 holes of them.Suspension of Acanthamoeba were added into 24 of these holes.and arilin gutta and suspension of Acanthamoeba were added into the other 24 holes.After standing in room ternperature for 8 hours,the morphologic change and quantity of the remnant Acanthamoeba were observed under the jnverted microscope.The remnant Acanthamoeba were cultivanted in peptone-yeast extract-glucose (PYG)-culture medium for 5 days.Their variation of appearance,activity and reproductive activity were observed.RESULTS:In the six experimental groups using contact lens solutions only.the detection rate of Acanthamoeba of were 0%,80.3%,29.1%,41.7%,62.5% and 79.2%,respectively.After arilin was added,the detection rate of Acanthamoeba of the six groups were 0%,0%,4.2%,8.3%,16.7% and 16.7%,respectively.From group 3 to group 6,after arilin was added,the differences of the killing efficiency of contact lens solutions have statistical significance(X2=3.75,7.11,10.54 and 18.78;P<0.05).Cultivation of the remnant Acanthamoeba showed a reduction in the activity and proliferative ability.CONCLUSION:The killing efficiency of some contact lens solutions on free-living Acanthamoeba were not satisfying.Arilin can improve the killing efficiency of contact lens solutions.

AIM: To compare the adherent ability of Acanthamoeba to three kinds of contact lens (CL) and survey the effect to remove the Acanthamoeba from the surface of contact lens after blowing with stroke-physiological saline solution (SPSS) repeatedly.METHODS: Three kinds of contact lens were chosen in this experiment, including: rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lens, soft contact lens (SCL) and colored contact lens. They were co-cultivated with Acanthamoeba suspension for 16 hours. Then the number of Acanthamoeba adhered on CL was compared. Comparison was also made between different zones of colored CL. We also compared the number of Acanthamoeba adhered on CL in three groups after blowing with SPSS.RESULTS: The number of Acanthamoeba adhered to colored CL was more than RGP group and SCL group (P<0.05). The differences between RGP group and SCL group had no statistical significance (P>0.05). In colored CL group, the number of Acanthamoeba adhered to the colored zone was more than the Uncolored zone (P<0.01). In all the three groups, after blowing with SPSS, there was statistically significant decrease of the number of Acanthamoeba adhered to CL (P<0.01).CONCLUSION: Compared with RGP group and SCL group, the colored contact lens was more vulnerable to be adhered by Acanthamoeba. After being blown by SPSS repeatedly, the effect to eliminate Acanthamoeba has been improved greatly.

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.
