Objective To observe the influence of phentolamine on N terminal B-type natriuretic peptide precursor(NT-proBNP),blood gas analysis,hypersensitive c-reactive protein and plasma D-dimer in patients with chronic cor pulmonale Methods One hundred and one cases patients with chronic cor pulmonale were randomly divided into two groups,51 patients in the treatment group,50 patients in the control group.All patients were treated with normal anti-infection,eliminating phlegm to smooth wheezing antithrombotic for one week,as the same time patients in the treatment group were treated with phentolamine for one week.Through observed the treatment effect of phentolamine to chronic cor pulmonale,the level of NT-proBNP,blood gas analysis,hypersensitive c-reactive protein and plasma D-dimer in patients with chronic cor pulmonale before and after the treatment were analyzed.Results Compared with before treatment,the levels of NT-proBNP,PCO2,hypersensitive c-reactive protein,plasma D dimer were lower than after one week in two groups,while the level of PO2 was higher.Treatment group:NT-proBNP (1 712.76±572.32) ng/L vs.(271.59±163.05) ng/L,t=20.42,P<0.05,PCO2 (66.34±5.81) mmHg vs.(52.58±5.82) mmHg,t=16.46,P<0.05,PO2 (59.28±6.13) mmHg vs.(73.64±6.10) mmHg,t=23.02,P<0.05,hypersensitive c-reactive protein 86.0(28.0) mg/L vs.23.0(12.0) mg/L,Z=-6.22,P<0.05 mg/L,plasma D-dimer (4 953.37±1 654.09) μg/L vs.(1 847.90±838.66) μg/L,t=17.11,P<0.05.Control group:NT-proBNP (1 527.24±658.70) ng/L vs.(612.58±357.59) ng/L,t=14.52,P<0.05,PCO2 (65.41±5.23) mmHg vs.(56.46±5.65) mmHg,t=13.04,P<0.05,PO2(60.57±5.84) mmHg vs.(67.21±5.19) mmHg,t=-10.06,P<0.05,hypersensitive c-reactive protein 79.0(29.0) mg/L vs.43.0(20.0) mg/L,Z=-6.16,,P<0.05,plasma D-dimer (4 408.02±1 682.83) μg/L vs.(2 598.28±1 242.73) μg/L,t=12.15,P<0.05.But the levels of NT-proBNP,PCO2,hypersensitive c-reactive protein and plasma D-dimer reduced significantly,the level of PO2 increased more significantly in treatment group(t(z)=-6.19,-3.39,-7.16,-3.56,5.70,all P<0.05).Conclusion Phentolamine can reduce the level of NT-proBNP,PCO2,hypersensitive c-reactive protein and plasma D-dimer and increased the level of PO2 in patients with chronic cor pulmonale.Phentolamine combined with routine treatment can improve the clinical efficacy of patients with chronic cor pulmonale.

Objective To investigate the effect of Q laser on microcirculation structure and skin barrier function of subcutaneous tissue in patients with pigmented dermatosis.Methods The Q laser was used in treatment of 100 cases of pigmented skin diseases,and the skin barrier function was detected before and after treatment in patients with lesions,including sebum content,transepidermal water loss of skin moisture;difference of skin barrier function in patients was analyzed before and after treatment;the structural change of microcirculation were observed before and after treatment of skin tissue;the clinical curative effects of patients after treatment were analyzed,and then the patients were followed up to evaluate the recurrence rate.Results After the treatment of patients with skin lesions,barrier function was compared with a significant difference.Compared with before treatment,rise,oil content of skin lesions in patients with skin moisture content,transepidermal water loss of skin moisture of the patient improved obviously after treatment.The effective rate was 94 % in the 100 cases of skin diseases.No hypopigmentation or scar occurred in the patients.And the follow-up showed that the recurrence rate was relatively low.Conclusions Adjusted Q laser may participate in the improvement of microcirculatory disturbances through special mechanisms,so as to regulate the skin barrier function of patients.

Objective To study the relationship between bronchial asthma and smoking status in Chinese people.Methods Asthma epidemiological survey and stratified-cluster-random method survey were performed in residents over 14 years in 8 provinces (cities) of China from February 2010 to August 2012.Asthma was diagnosed based upon case history,clinical signs and lung function test.Smoking status was investigated by questionnaire.Results Sampling population was 180 099 and 164 215 were valid.A total of 2 034 subjects were diagnosed as asthma including 79 692 men and 84 523 women.The overall prevalence rate of asthma was 1.24% (2 034/164 215).Smokers were 23.8% (39 137/164 215) in the whole population.Smokers were 34.5% (702/2 034) in asthmatic patients,compared with 23.7% (38 435/ 162 181) in no-asthmatic population.The incidence of asthma was 1.79% and 1.06% in smokers and nonsmokers respectively (P <0.001),suggesting that OR of smoking was 1.70 (95% CI 1.55-1.86,P < 0.001).According to asthma control test (ACT) score,the level of asthma control in non smoking group was higher than that in smoking group(43.2% vs 35.3%).The times of hospitalization due to acute exacerbations (0.51 vs 0.41 events/person/year),total hospitalization rate (27.35 % vs 20.12%),annual emergency room visits (0.80 vs 0.60 events/person/year) and emergency room visit rate (31.77% vs 24.47%) were all much higher in smoking asthmatic patients than those in non smoking asthmatic patients,indicating that the level of asthma control in smoking patients was significantly worse than in non smoking patients.Conclusions The smoking rate in Chinese people over 14 years is still high.The prevalence rate of asthma in smokers is significantly higher than that of non-smokers.The level of asthma control in smokers is significantly worse than that in non smokers.

OBJECTIVETo compare the difference of serum sex hormone between female patients with post-adolescent acne and healthy women, and to explore the efficacy and action mechanism of acupoint catgut embedding, fire needle, auricular acupuncture on skin lesion in female patients of post-adolescent acne.
METHODSA total of 107 female patients of post-adolescent acne were divided into an integrated acupuncture group (54 cases, 4 cases were excluded) and a medication group (53 cases, 5 cases were excluded). The patients in the integrated acupuncture group were treated with comprehensive treatment of acupoint catgut embedding, fire needle, auricular acupuncture; the acupoint catgut embedding was applied at Dazhui (GV 14), Yintang (GV 29), Yangbai (GB 14) through Yuyao (EX-HN 4) and other acupoints based on syndrome differentiation; the fire needle was applied at skin lesion; the auricular acupuncture was applied at erjian (HX), e (AT), kou (CO), etc. The patients in the medication group were treated with oral administration of tanshinone capsules (4 capsules each time, 3 times a day) and external use of adapalene gel (one treatment per day at night). Patients in the two groups were treated for 8 weeks. The skin lesion of acne was evaluated before treatment as well as 4 weeks and 8 weeks after treatment in the two groups; the serum levels of testosterone (T) and estradiol (E) were tested 24 hours before menstruation in the integrated acupuncture group (50 cases) and healthy control group (46 cases), and the change of serum sex hormone after treatment was observed in 21 patients with sex hormone disorder in the integrated acupuncture group.
RESULTSBefore treatment, the level of E in the integrated acupuncture group was significantly lower than that in the healthy control group (<0.01), but T/E in the integrated acupuncture group was significantly higher than that in the healthy control group (<0.01). After treatment, the level of E was significantly increased (<0.01) and T/E was reduced (<0.01) in the 21 patients with sex hormone disorder in the integrated acupuncture group. The skin lesion scale of acne was significantly reduced in the two groups after 4-week and 8-week treatment (all <0.01); the difference between the two groups was not significant after 4-week treatment (>0.05); the skin lesion scale of acne in the integrated acupuncture group was significantly lower than that in the medication group after 8-week treatment (<0.01). The efficacy between the two groups was not significant after 4-week the treatment (>0.05); after 8-week treatment, the cured and effective rate was 66.0% (33/50) in the integrated acupuncture group, which was superior to 45.8% (22/48) in the medication group (<0.05).
CONCLUSIONCompared with healthy women, the level of serum sex hormone of E is reduced in the female patients of post-adolescent acne, resulting in relative increased level of T; the acupoint catgut embedding, fire needle, auricular acupuncture have better efficacy than medication for post-adolescent acne, which have regulation effects on sex hormone disorder.
