1.Selection of antihypertensive drugs in stroke prevention
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2011;19(5):389-392
Control of hypertension is essential for stroke prevention. For most patients, the monotherapy often fails to lower blood pressure to normal levels, while the combination therapy can increase the effect of lowering blood pressure, however, not all the antihypertensive drugs have good efficacy. The early data analysis of the Chinese Hypertension Intervention Efficacy Study and the subgroup analysis of the KYOTO HEART study have showed that dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker amlodipine and angiotensin receptor blocker valsartan are both the most effective antihypertensive drugs in the prevention of stroke.

3.Application of Peripheral Blood SEPT9 DNA Methylation Assay for Screening of Colorectal Cancer
Chinese Journal of Gastroenterology 2015;(10):622-624
Colorectal cancer is a malignancy with poor prognosis and high mortality and is caused by multiple factors. Colonoscopy,flexible sigmoidoscopy,guaiac-based fecal occult blood test,immunochemical fecal occult blood test,fecal DNA test,CT colonoscopy and serum carcinoembryonic antigen test are the methods frequently used for screening of colorectal cancer,but they all have certain limitations. Elevation of methylation of SEPT9 is associated with the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer,and detection of the level of methylation of SEPT9 in peripheral blood can be used for screening of colorectal cancer in susceptible population. This article reviewed the application of peripheral blood SEPT9 DNA methylation assay for screening of colorectal cancer.

A total of twenty eight HSV isolates from the patients were typed by using HSV typespecific monoclonal antibodies (McAb). Comparison of typing results with McAb in three Sero-lminunological methods with molecular hybridization indicated 100% concordance in the results. But the typing rates were quite different among the various methods (ELISA 64%, IFA and EIA 82%, Hybridization 100%). The results demonstrate that the molecular hybrydization with HSV type-specific probes was highly sensitive and specific, and the method of EIA with HSV type-specific McAb was accurate, cheap, rapid and practical.

Objective To investigate the myocardial protection effect of dexmedetomidine hydrochloride during off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Methods Forty patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting were randomly divided into two groups:control group (group C) and dexmedetomidine group (group D).Dexmedetomidine hydrochlo-ride was given at a loading dose of 0. 5 μg?kg-1 to patients in group D, and then infused continuously at a rate of 0.5 μg?kg-1?h-1.The same amount of saline was given to patients in group C. After loading dosing,general anesthesia was per-formed with TCI technique.Trans-esophagus Doppler monitoring was conducted to monitor the blood volume and heart function, and close monitoring of fluid infusion to maintain stable circulation.Invasive blood pressure and heart rate were recorded every 5 min. Blood samples were taken for detection of cTnI,CK-MB,TNF-αand IL-6 contents at the following time points:after induction ( t0 ) ,before operation ( t1 ) ,after operation ( t2 ) ,12 h postoperation ( t3 ) and 24 h postoperation ( t4 ) . Results The blood pressure and heart rate decreased significantly at t0 and t1 in group D compared with group C,and there were no significant differ-ences in the two indexes at other time points between the two groups.Blood CK-MB,cTnI and inflammation factors TNF-α,IL-6 were much higher at t2,t3,t4 than at t0 and t1 in both groups(P<0.05).They were significantly decreased at t2,t3,t4 in group D relative to group C (P<0.05).Vessel active medicines were less given after the operation in group D (P<0.05). Conclusion Dexmedetomidine hydrochloride can mitigate the inflammation responses caused by off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting,re-duce the myocardial injury and improve the cardiac function of the patients.
