Objective: To analyze the relationship between inflammatory factors and relevant risk factors in patients of essential hypertension (EH) combining acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with its clinical significance. Methods: Our research included 3 groups: EH group, n=79 patients with standard criteria, EH+ACS group, n=85 and Control group, n=48 normal subjects. Blood levels of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2), tryptase (TPS) and relevant clinical, biochemical parameters were measured; risk factors for cardiovascular disease were examined and the relationship between above parameters, risk factors and ACS occurrence in EH patients was studied by Logistic regression analysis. Results: The OR values were all greater than 1 in fibrinogen (Fbg), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), TPS, atherosclerotic plaque, Lp-PLA2 and EH grading. Fbg was the most significant independent risk factor (OR=22.242, 95% CI 6.458-76.609, P<0.0001), the standardized partial regression coefficient b'as absolute value (b') was 1.079 which was the highestone in above 6 variables with the strongest impact for ACS occurrence in EH patients. Conclusion: Fbg, hs-CRP, TPS, atherosclerotic plaque and EH grading were the independent risk factors for ACS occurrence in EH patients; Fbg was the highest risk factor for ACS occurrence with the strongest impact, which provided a new direction for ACS prevention and treatment.

To investigate the role of CD4+, CD25+, and CD127low regulatory T cells (Tregs) in multiple myeloma (MM). Methods:Levels of CD4+T cells and Tregs, as well as expression of CTLA-4 and apoptosis-related proteins, such as CD95, bcl-2, and Caspase3 of Tregs in peripheral blood of 30 patients with newly diagnosed cases, 27 patients under of complete remission (CR) from multiple myeloma patients, and 25 healthy adults were analyzed by flow cytometry. Results:The percentage of CD4+T cells in the untreated group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). The percentage of Tregs in CD4+T cells in the untreated group was significantly higher than that of the CR group and control group (P<0.05), which in ISSⅢpatients of the untreated group was significantly higher than that in I/II(P<0.05). No significant difference of CD95 expression in Tregs was observed among the three groups. The expression of CTLA-4 in Tregs from the untreated group was significantly higher than that of the CR group (P<0.05) and control group (P<0.01), and so was in CR group than this in controls (P<0.05). The expression of bcl-2 in Tregs in the untreated group was significantly higher than that of the CR group (P<0.05) and control group (P<0.01), and so was in CR group than this in controls(P<0.05). The expression of Caspase3 in Tregs from the untreated group and CR group were all significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). The percentage of Tregs in CD4+T cells in the untreated group was positively correlated with the proportion of bone marrow plasma cells (P<0.05). The percentage of Tregs in CD4+T cells from 15 MM patients who received bortezamib and dexamethasone (VD) chemotherapy was negatively correlated to the ratio of plasma cell reduction after the first VD chemotherapy (r=0.735, P<0.01). Conclusion:The level of Tregs in the peripheral blood of MM patients was positively correlated with tumor burden and progression of disease, but was negatively correlated with curative effect. The increased level of Tregs was associated with their strengthened anti-apoptosis function.

Objective To investigate the effects and related factors of itraconazole in the treatment of invasive fungal infection (IFI) in the patients with blood diseases ( BD). Methods A total of 156 BD patients with IFI treated with itraconazole in General Hospital, Tianjin Medical University from 2005 to 2008, were retrospectively analyzed. Results Of these patients, 92 were with underlying malignant BD, and 64 with non-malignant BD; 77 possible IFI, and others proven IFI. A total of 94 (63. 5% ) patients were responded to itraconazole successfully, while 54 (36. 5% ) failed. The underlying malignant BD, post-chemotherapy, neutrophil count less than 0. 5 x 109/L, positive fungus culture, and bacteria infection were related with the response to itraconazole significantly, while patient's age, application of other antibiotics,positive C test, IFI localization, haemoglobin level and platelet counts were not Five patients was changed other anti-IFI therapy because of side effects, including gastrointestinal ill (3 cases with nausea or vomiting) and tachycardia (2 cases). Conclusions Itraconazole was effective and safe in the treatment of IFI in the patients with BD. Underlying malignant BD, agranulocytosis, bacteria infection, and delayed anti-IFI therapy might reduce itraconazole therapeutic effects.

Objective:To retrieve, appraise and summarize the evidence for the airway humidification management of the inpatient with laryngectomy and tracheotomy but nonmechanical ventilation and to provide references for the clinical nursing.Methods:The evidence question was raised based on the study objective. The evidence was retrieved from some databases according to the evidence pyramid model during inception to December, 2018. The literature types included clinical practice guideline, evidence summary, best practice information sheet, recommended practice and systematic review. The quality of the literature were evaluated by the suitable evaluated tool based on their types. The level and recommedation grade of the evidence were appraised by the suitable tools of JBI.Results:Thirteen studies were recruited, including one clinical practice guideline, two evidence summaries, one best practice information sheet and nine systematic reviews. Totally thirteen items of best evidence were summarized and generalized to four categories including assessment, method, liquid and operation of airway humidification.Conclusion:The evidences of the studies are scientific and practical, but on the one hand, it is recommended that when applying the evidences in clinic, it is necessary to assess the clinical situation and chose the proper evidence. And on the other hand, there are lacking of some evidences of airway humidification and the level of some evidences is low. So it needs to create more high level evidences.
