[Objective]To study the effects of Caspase-1 specific inhibitor AC-YVAD-CMK on intimal hyperplasia after carotid artery balloon injury in rats and its possible mechanism.[Methods]A total of 33 male adult SD rats were randomly divided into sham group,balloon injury group and balloon injury+AC-YVAD-CMK group. Using the method of balloon injury to establish rat carotid ar?tery intimal hyperplasia animal model,rats were sacrificed and blood vessels were harvested 14 days after operation. Fifteen vascular segments embedded in OCT and the intima to media(I/M)area ratio of neointima was measured by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining;18 vascular segments were harvested and the expression of NLRP3 inflammasome,cleaved-Caspase-1,interleukin(IL)-1βand IL-18 were measured by Western blot.[Results]HE staining showed that AC-YVAD-CMK significantly inhibited the degree of intimal hyperplasia compared with the balloon injury group[(0.78 ± 0.13)vs(1.52 ± 0.14);P=0.000]. The expression of NLRP3 inflamma?some was increased in balloon injury group while the AC-YVAD-CMK attenuates the expression of NLRP3(P=0.009);The expres?sion of cleaved-Caspase-1 was in line with the expression of NLRP3(P=0.000). The levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1βand IL-18 in balloon injury+AC-YVAD-CMK group were significantly lower than those in the balloon injury group(P=0.000).[Conclusion]AC-YVAD-CMK can attenuate intimal hyperplasia after balloon injury of carotid artery in rats,which might be related to its effect on inhibiting the activation of Caspase-1,which could affect the release of pro-inflammatory cytokine of IL-1βand IL-18.

OBJECTIVETo compare the efficacy between left radial approach (LRA) and right radial approach (RRA) for coronary angiography (CAG).
METHODSThe following databases were searched, including PubMed, Embase, Web of science, Cochrane Library, CBM, VIP, Wanfang databases and CNKI, from creation of database to January 2013. Two reviewers extracted data independently, according to inclusive criteria, exclusion criteria and methods of Cochrane Collaboration. Statistical analysis was performed using Review Manager Software (RevMan 5.1).
RESULTSEleven trials with 5 442 patients were included in the systematic review. The results of meta-analysis showed that when compared with RRA, LRA did not increase the failure rate of the procedures (OR = 1.04, 95%CI 0.80-1.35, P > 0.05) and amount of contrast medium (mean difference = 2.39, 95%CI -0.30-5.08), P > 0.05). However, LRA was superior to RRA in reducing fluoroscopy time (standardized mean difference = 0.15, 95%CI 0.06-0.24, P < 0.01). In addition, the incidence of severe tortuosity of subclavian artery was significantly lower with LRA (OR = 4.65, 95%CI 1.98-10.88, P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONSBased on the current evidence, LRA shares similar safety with RRA for CAG and is superior to RRA in certain respects. LRA can thus be used either as an alternative approach or routine approach for CAG.

Objective:To investigate characteristics of fever and drug-induced liver injury (DILI) in inpatients with severe drug eruptions.Methods:A retrospective analysis was carried out on clinical data collected from 63 inpatients with severe drug eruptions from June 2007 to June 2020, and their characteristics of fever and DILI were investigated. Two-independent-sample t test or Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for intergroup comparison of measurement data, and intergroup comparison of enumeration data was performed using chi-square test or Fisher′s exact test. Results:Among the 63 patients with severe drug eruptions, 54 developed fever; low, moderate and high/ultra-high fever all occurred in about one third of the patients; of 17 patients with high/ultra-high fever, 16 sufferred from Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) , toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) or drug hypersensitivity syndrome (DHS) ; 45 had irregular fever; fever duration ranged from 1 to 14 days in 51 patients; there were no significant differences in the fever grade or duration among the patients with different clinical types of drug eruptions ( P = 0.303, 0.719, respectively) ; rashes occurred earlier than or at the same time as fever in 92.59% of the patients. DILI occurred in 11 patients, 8 of whom had hepatocellular injury at admission, including 5 with DHS, 2 with SJS and 1 with TEN; 6 patients were accompanied by low, moderate or high fever, with the fever duration being 7.33 ± 4.97 days, and they all had grade 1 liver injury; liver function retesting at discharge showed complete recovery in 5 patients, improvement in 1, as well as conversion from hepatocellular injury to mixed liver injury in 1, and 1 patient did not undergo the liver function retesting due to against-medical-advice discharge. The other 3 patients had cholestatic liver injury, all of whom were diagnosed with DHS and accompanied by high or ultra-high fever, wtih the fever duration being 8.33 ± 3.51 days, and 1 patient had grade 4 liver injury (acute liver failure) ; liver function was improved in all the 3 patients at discharge. Conclusions:Patients with severe drug eruptions are prone to be accompanied by various types of fever, irregular fever is more common, fever usually lasts 2 weeks, and rashes often occur earlier than or at the same time as fever. DILI can occur in patients with severe drug eruptions, and is usually accompanied by fever; hepatocellular injury is more common, and prone to be improved rapidly; cholestatic liver injury is characterized by severe clinical symptoms and a long disease course, and most frequently occurs in patients with DHS.

Objective:To compare the contracting status for combination medical service( "1+1+1" contract)between elderly residents in Shanghai urban and suburban communities and its influencing factors.Methods:Total 574 outpatients aged over 60 were selected with stratified sampling and convenient sampling method from 3 urban community health service centers and 3 suburban community health service centers in Shanghai. A questionnaire survey was conducted from July to September 2017, the survey included the general information, health status, health concern, purpose of this visit, satisfaction with the center, frequency of visit, choice of first contact, willingness of referral, understanding "1+1+1" contract and preferential policies, contract signing status and reasons.Results:Total 574 questionnaires were distributed and 564 valid questionnaires were retrieved with an effective rate of 98.25%. Of the 292 participants in urban areas, 167 (57.2%) had signed the contract; of the 272 participants in the suburbs, 133 (48.9%) had signed the contract. Univariate analysis showed that self-evaluated health status, visits to the community health service center, satisfaction with the center, concerning health knowledge, long-term medication, the choice of community health center as first contact, the willingness of referral, knowing the "1+1+1" contract policy were associated with the contract-signing in urban residents (χ 2=13.05, 8.51, 13.89, 10.76, 6.26, 12.98, 24.73, 76.77, respectively; all P<0.05); while age, self-evaluated health status, the purpose of this visit, medical examination, type of chronic disease, long-term medication, the choice of community health service center as first contact, the willingness of referral, knowing the "1+1+1" contract policy were associated with the contrct-signing in suburban residents (χ 2=9.56, 14.26, 13.83, 18.30, 18.65, 11.96, 5.99, 5.46 83.44, respectively all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that self-rated health status and awareness of "1+1+1" contract were independent influencing factors for contract-signing in urban residents ( P<0.05); while the awareness of "1+1+1" contract, the purpose of this visit and the frequency of physical examination were influencing factors for contract-signing in suburban residents ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The "1+1+1" signing rate in urban residents is higher than that in suburban residents due to more self health-concerns and higher awareness of the "1+1+1" contracts. It is suggested that the government attach importance to construction of the "1+1+1" contract system for suburb community health service institutions.
