Objective To investigate the clinical effect and safety of alpha lipoic acid injection combined mecobalamin and prostaglandin E on type 2 diabetic patients complicated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN).Methods One hundred and sixty type 2 diabetic patients complicated with DPN in the General Hospital of Benxi Iron and Steel Group Corporation from Jan.2011 to Dec.2012 were randomly divided into the treatment group(n =80) and the control group (n =80).Three cases of the treatment group and 5 cases of the control group discharged early from the study because of their own reasons.There were 77 cases in the treatment group and 75 cases in the control group.On the basis of controlling blood glucose,patients in the two groups were given 500 μg mecobalamin combined with intramuscular injection once two days,as well as prostaglandinE 10 μg injection once a day.Patients in treatment group were added with 600 mg alpha lipoic acid for intravenous injection once a day for 10-14 days.Total symptom score (TSS),nerve conduction velocity,satisfaction and adverse reactions were evaluated before and after treatment.Results TSS score,tingling score,burning sensation score and hypoesthesia score,numb score in treatment group were (3.5 ± 2.5),(1.1 ± 0.4),(0.9 ± 0.7),(1.3 ± 0.4),(1.3 ± 0.9),significantly lower than those in control group (4.3 ± 2.1,t =2.11,P <0.05;1.5 ±0.5,t =1.86,P<0.05;1.3 ±0.5,t =1.83,P <0.05;1.7 ±0.5,t =1.87,P <0.05; 1.9 ± 0.4,t =1.91,P < 0.05).The median nerve conduction velocity,peroneal nerve motor conduction velocity,median nerve sensory conduction velocity,common peroneal nerve sensory conduction velocity of patients in treatment group were (53.6 ± 1.4) m/s,(49.6 ± 1.1) m/s,(47.3 ± 1.1) m/s,(48.2 ± 1.9) m/s,lower than those in control group((48.5 ±2.7) m/s,t =-4.94,P <0.05;(43.9 ±2.1) m/s,t =-5.36,P <0.05; (41.6 ± 1.8) m/s,t =-5.09,P <0.05;(43.2 ±2.5) m/s,t =-4.27,P < 0.05,P <0.05).In the treatment group,97.4% (75/77) physicians and 92.2% (71/77) patients were satisfied with treatment effect,while in the control group,84.0% (63/75) physicians and 78.7% (59/75) patients were satisfied with treatment effect.During the study periods,there were 3 cases with facial flushing and 1 cases of dizziness in the treatment group,and 2 cases of facial flushing and 1 cases of dizziness in the control group.All adverse reactions were spontaneous remission without any special treatment.Conclusion Alpha lipoic acid intravenous drip is effective in term of treating type 2 diabetic peripheral neuropathy,and with high safety.

Objective To design and produce specific stealth siRNAs and detect their inhibitive effects on TGF-?1 expression.Methods Three stealth siRNAs aimed directly at different sequences(stealth-48,stealth-166,stealth-594) in TGF-?1 mRNA were made.These siRNAs were transfected into BALB/c mouse lung fibroblast in vitro,then the TGF-?1 expression in those lung fibroblasts was detected by immunohistochemistry.Results In different time periods,the TGF-?1 expression was differently depressed by three stealth siRNAs in vitro.The inhibitory effects of stealth-166 was better than the other two stealth siRNAs.The inhibition could be detected in 48 h,reached the highest level in 72 h and began to attenuate 96 h later.Conclusion The TGF-?1 expression of mouse lung fibroblasts in vitro can be depressed by synthetic stealth siRNAs.It seems possible to provide a new way for the treatment of pulmonary interstitial fibrosis.

Objective:To discuss the therapeutic effect of pharmaceutical care for old patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD) . Methods:Totally 192 patients diagnosed as COPD were randomly divided into 2 groups according to a random num-ber table, 100 cases in the experimental group and 92 cases in the control group. The control group was treated with the conditional therapy, and the experimental group was treated with pharmaceutical care additionally. The studieds on COPD assessment test ( CAT) , modified British medical research council ( mMRC) and the value of pulmonary function index ( FEV1% index) were carried out and compared between the two groups. Results:There was no statistically significant difference in the CAT score, mMRC classification and FEV1% index between the two groups on admission (P>0. 05), however, after the treatment, the CAT score and mMRC classifica-tion were decreased and FEV1% index was increased in the two groups, and there was statistical significance between them ( P <0. 05). The CAT score and mMRC classification in the experimental group were lower and FEV1% index was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05). Compared with the medication errors(n=13, 14.13%) and incidence of adverse drug reactions(n=5, 5. 43%) in the control group, the medication errors(n=2, 2. 0%) and incidence of adverse drug reactions (0%) in the experimental group were significantly decreased. Conclusion:Clinical pharmacists provide effectively pharmaceutical care, which can significantly improve the clinical therapeutic efficacy in old patients with COPD.

Objective To compare the rates of major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)and bleeding events of three different antiplatelet strategies during temporary withdrawal of antiplatelet therapy for non-cardiac surgery within 1 year after drug-eluting stent (DES)implantation.Methods Retrospectively analyzed 42 patients who had accepted non-cardiac surgery and required temporary withdrawal of antiplatelet therapy within 1 year after drug-eluting stent implantation. The patients were divided into three groups according to the bridging antiplatelet strategies they received.All patients discontinued clopidogrel 5 to 7 days before the non-cardiac surgery. The tirofiban group was treated with intravenous tirofiban 0.4ug/kg·min in the first 30 min followed 0.1μg/(kg·min). The dosage was reduced by half for patients whose Creatinine clearance were less than 30 ml/min.The low molecular weight heparin group was treated with subcutaneous enoxaparin (Clexane 4000 AxaIU, once per day) .The asprin group was given only oral asprin(100 mg, once per day) . Tirofiban and low molecular weight heparin were continued until clopidogrel was resured. Perioperative cardiovascular events and serious bleeding were recorded. Results The rates of major adverse cardiac events in the tirofiban and the low molecular weight heparin group were lower than the aspirin group. Acute myocardial infarction caused by confirmed in-stent thrombosis was diagnosed in one patient in the aspirin group. One case of asymptomatic ST-T changes was found in the low molecular weight the aspirin group. 3 cases in the aspirin group presented ST-T changes on ECG and among them 1 case was STEMI due to LAD thrombosis requiring primary and 2 other cases were agina pectoris.There were no significant differences in bleeding events among the three groups.Conclusions Potential for the perioperative management with tirofiban or low molecular weight heparin is safe and feasible for patients who had recently undergone DES implantation and required noncardiac surgery with the interruption of antiplatelet therapies.

Objective To establish an expression system of TCRγ9/δ2-Fc protein by baculovirus vector ex-pression system and identify biological function of expressed TCRγ9/δ2-Fc protein. Methods γ9Fc and 82 (OT3) Fc gene fragments were amplified by overlap PCR and inserted into expression vector pBACp10ph. The recombinant plasmid pBACp10ph-γ9/δ2(OT3)-Fc and the baculovirus DNA were co-transfected into st9 cells. The expression position of TCRγ9/δ2 (OT3)-Fc was identified by Western blot and the expression efficiency of γ9Fc and δ2 (OT3) Fc was tested by flow cytometry (FCM). Furthermore, the binding activity of TCRγ9/δ2 (OT3)-Fc protein with SKOV3 ceils and MNS protein was evaluated with laser scanning confocal microslopy and surface plasmon resonance (SPR). Results The recombinant vector pBACp10ph-γ9/δ2(OT3)-Fc was constructed and TCRγ9/δ2(OT3)-Fc protein was expressed in sf9 ceils. However, the expression efficiency of γ9Fc and 82 (0T3) Fc was quite differ-ent. It was proved that purified TCRγ9/δ2 (OT3)-Fc protein can bind with SKOV3 cell and MNS protein. Conclu-sion TCRγ9/δ2-Fc protein is successfully expressed in baculovirus vector expression system and TCRγ9/δ2-Fc protein can simulate the binding activity of TCR in vitro.
