Objective To study the factors affecting the activities of daily life (AOL) of patients after the first stroke of cerebral infarction in order to formulate the intervention strategy for improving the capability of ADL of patients. Method A total of 149 patients with the first stroke of cerebral infarction admitted from Oct. 2008 to Dec.2008 were enrolled in this study. The demographics of patients, cerebral infarction risk factors, apopletic score as per National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS), white blood cell count (WBC) and plasma glucose (PG) were recorded on the first day of admission, and many other laboratory examinations were done on the next morning. The occurrences of infection in lung and urinary tract, and atrial fibrillation were recorded during hospi-talization. The NIHSS score and score of Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) were taken within 24 hours after admission, on the 14th day and at the end of the third month after cerebral infarction respectively. Barthel index (BI) was taken in the second week as well as at the end of third month by follow-up in the OPD or by telephone. The correlation analysis and multiple linear stepwise regression analysis were used to find the risk factors. Results The PG level, WBC count and NIHSS score were independently associated with ADL in the second week as well as at the end of the third month after cerebral infarction. Besides, the urinary tract infection during hospital stay was also independently associated with ADL at the end of the third month after cerebral infarction. Conclusions The plasma glucose level, WBC count, NIHSS score and urinary tract infection are the risk factors. Positive measures should be taken to control these risk factors so as to improve the capability of ADL of the patients after cerebral infarction.

This study examined the effect of tanshinone II A (TSN II A) on the cardiac fibrosis induced by transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) and the possible mechanisms. Cardiac fibroblasts were isolated from cardiac tissues of neonatal Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats by the trypsin digestion and differential adhesion method. The cells were treated with 5 ng/mL TGF-β1 alone or pretreated with TSN II A at different concentrations (10(-5) mol/L, 10(-4) mol/L). Immunocytochemistry was used for cell identification, RT-PCR for detection of the mRNA expression of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and collagen type I (COL I), Western blotting for detection of the protein expression of Smad7 and Smad3, and immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence staining for detection of the protein expression of phosphorylated Smad3 (p-Smad3), CTGF and COLI. The results showed that TGF-β1 induced the expression of CTGF, COL I, p-Smad3 and Smad7 in a time-dependent manner. The mRNA expression of CTGF and COL I was significantly increased 24 h after TGF-β1 stimulation (P<0.01 for all). The protein expression of p-Smad3 and Smad7 reached a peak 1 h after TGF-β1 stimulation, much higher than the baseline level (P<0.01 for all). Pretreatment with high concentration of TSN A resulted in a decrease in the expression of p-Smad3, CTGF and COL I (P<0.01). The protein expression of Smad7 was substantially upregulated after pretreatment with two concentrations of TSN II A as compared with that at 2 h post TGF-β1 stimulation (P<0.05 for low concentration of TSN I IA; P<0.01 for high concentration of TSN II A). It was concluded that TSN II A may exert an inhibitory effect on cardiac fibrosis by upregulating the expression of Smad7, suppressing the TGF-β1-induced phosphorylation of Smad3 and partially blocking the TGF-β1-Smads signaling pathway.

Objective To analyze the imaging features of testicular solid lesions.Methods The CT and MR findings of 18 cases of testicular solid lesions confirmed by pathology were retrospectively reviewed.The location,attenuation/signal,size,shape,edge,and enhancement patterns of lesions were analyzed.Results In all of the 18 cases,5 cases were seminomas,1 of them was huge with punctate calcification,4 of them had low signal separations in T2WI.Lymphomas were in 4 cases,and all of them were primary diffuse large B cell lymphoma;T2WI was priority with low signal.Solitary fibrous tumor was in 1 case,and the attenuation was lower than that of muscle.Embryo in sinus tumor were in 1 case,and the attenuation/signal was unhomogeneous;the continued enhancement liking grid was obviously seen after contrast injection.Nonspecific inflammatory masses were in 4 cases with involving epididymis in 2 cases,and the attenuation/signal was unhomogeneous.Tuberculous mass were in 3 cases,and 1 case with points of calcificationwas on the edge of lesion,2 cases characterized by short T2 signals.Conclusion It is possible to make an accurate diagnosis by the combination of clinical data with imaging features in most of the testicular solid lesions.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of different concentration of human urinary kallikrein on blood pressure when used for acute cerebral infarction. METHODS: By a non-randomized historical control study,the blood pressure variation of 34 patients on day one after treatment with low concentration (0.06%) of human urinary kallikrein was observed,the occurrence of hypotension in this group was compared with that of another 47 patients (control) treated with high concentration (0.3%) of human urinary kallikrein. RESULTS: The reduction of blood pressure in low concentration group was less obvious than in the high-concentration group. However,hypotension was noted in both groups when angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) hypotensive drugs were used concomitantly. CONCLUSION: Human urinary kallikrein for acute cerebral infarction can transiently down-regulate blood pressure slightly,but its effect on blood pressure can be lowered by suitable reduction of its concentration;at any concentration,it can result in hypotension if used in combination with ACEI.

Objective To establish acute hepatotoxic model induced by Amanita exitialis and to study the characteristics of acute toxic liver failure induced by mushrooms containing peptide toxins,in hope for providing some help to experimental research on poisoning induced by mushrooms containing peptide toxins.Methods UPLC-MS/MS (Ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry) method was used to detect peptide toxins in Amanita exitialis.To establish acute toxic liver hepatic failure model,the beagles were fed with 60 mg/kg of lyophilized powder of Amanita exitialis fungus which encapsulated in starch capsules.Toxic sighs were observed,coagulation function,hepatic and renal function,liver histopathological morphology,peptide toxin concentration in plasma and urine were detected during the experiment.Results Total peptide toxins in Amanita exitialis was (3 482.6 ± 124.94) mg/ kg.All the beagles had toxic signs including vomiting and diarrhea in 12-48 h after ingestion.On 24 h after ingestion,the beagles' ALT,AST,TBIL,ALP,PT and APTT levels increased obviously.On 36 h after ingestion,the beagles' ALT,AST,PT and APTT values reached their peaks (ALT:283.2 ± 112.9 Kallmann unit;AST:223.9 ±93.8 Kallmann units;PT:132.9 ± 152.6 s;APTT:131.4 ± 153.9 s).On 48 h after ingestion,the beagles' TBIL and ALP levels reached their peaks (TBIL:23.3 ± 14.6 mol/L;ALP:274.5 ± 115.5 U/L).The beagles' TBIL,TP and APTT returned to normal 1 week after ingestion,their ALT,AST and ALP levels returned to normal 3 weeks after ingestion.Three dogs died during 24-72 h after ingestion.Liver histopathological morphology study showed hemorrhagic necrosis of hepatocytes.Peptide toxins can be detected in plasma within 24 h after ingestion.Peptide toxins can be detected in urine within 96 h after ingestion.Conclusion Amanita peptide toxins can cause hemorrhagic necrosis of liver cells and lead to acute liver failure.This model is consistent with clinical pathophysiological process of acute toxic liver failure induced by mushrooms containing peptide toxins,and it can be applied to the study of diagnosis and treatment of poisoning induced by mushrooms containing peptide toxins.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and side-effect of docetaxel and cisplatin induction chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).MethodsEighty-six patients with histologically confirmed locally advanced NSCLC were randomized into induction chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy (ICCRT)arm or concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) arm. Both arms were treated with intensity-modulated radiation therapy. Induction and concurrent chemotherapy regimen consist of docetaxel and cisplatin. Results Follow-up rate of the whole group is 100％.The response rate in the CCRT arm and ICCRT arm is 70％ and 80％ ( χ2 =1.26,P =0.261 ),respectively; and 1-,2-,3-year survival rate is 65％ and 85％,40％ and 50％,33％ and 44％ (χ2 =3.90,P=0.048),respectively; the median survival time and time to progression is 17.5 and 22.0 months and 14.0 and 19.0 months respectively.Major adverse effects are leukopenia (43 and 32 cases,χ2 =3.48,P =0.062),radiation esophagutis (26 and 20 cases,χ2 =0.12,P =0.730),anemia (26 and 16 cases,χ2 =2.34,P =0.126) and radiation pneumonitis (13 and 9 cases,χ2 =0.37,P =0.541 ).ConclusionsICCRT for locally advanced NSCLC can improve the overall survival rate and time to progression,induction chemotherapy did not increase side-effects.There was no difference in response rate between CCRT and ICCRT arm.
