Objective To study the relationship between Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) and donor heart ischemia time. Methods The rat model of retroperitioneal heterotopic heart transplantation was used. Seventy Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups: group 1 receiving CsA after sham operation; group 2 receiving transplantation directly; group 3 having 3 h-ischemia before transplantation; group 4 having 6?h ischemia before transplantation. After transplantation, all rats in each group were subjected to the gastric lavage of CsA for 20?days. At 20?days after transplantation, the donor heart was removed for observation of changes in pathological lesions and ultrastructues of coronary artery. Results With ischemia time being prolonged, cardiac capillary endothelial cell swelling and coronary intimal proliferation were observed which were similar to the CAV histopathological changes. Conclusion The prolongation of ischemia time can lead to intimal proliferation and hyperplasia which can promote CAV development. So ischemia time is a vital reason for the CAV.

Objective To observe the efficacy and safety of the cocktail therapy to treat patients with Parkinson's disease with dementia ( PDD) . Methods Sixty patients with PDD were randomly divided into treatment group(30 cases)and control group(30 cases). The dose 10 mg of donepezil hydrochloride was taken 1 time a day in the control group;on the basis,the dose 0. 2 g of butylphthalide soft capsules was taken pre-dinner, 3 times a day,the dose 0. 8 g of oxiracetam was taken 3 times a day and 2 Ginkgo Biloba Leaves Extract tablets was taken 3 times a day in the treatment group,period of treatment was 6 months. The curative effect was measured by using Montreal cognitive assessment scale (MoCA),Blessed-Roth dementia table,severity of clinical dementia rating scale (WMS) rating, respectively before treatment and on the 3th, 6th month after treatment,and monitored the adverse reactions. Results There were no statistically significant differences on the scores of MoCA, WMS and Blessed-Roth dementia table between treatment group and control group before treatment ( all P>0. 05 ) . The scores of MoCA, WMS in the treatment group and control group on 6 months after treatment were significantly higher than those before treatment and 3 months after treatment, and the scores of Blessed-Roth dementia table in the treatment group and control group on 6 months after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment and 3 months after treatment ( P<0. 05-0. 01). Compared with control group,the scores of MoCA, WMS increased obviously and the scores of Blessed-Roth dementia table decreased significantly in the treatment group on 6 months after treatment (P<0. 05-0. 01). There was no statistically significant difference on the rates of abnormal liver function after treatment betweenin the treatment group (16. 67%) and the control group (13. 33%) (P>0. 05). Conclusion The curative effect of cocktail therapy is better than traditional remedies for treating patients with PDD, and it is high safety.

Objective To investigate the correlation between body mass index ( BMI) , type Ⅱ diabetes and colorectal neoplastic lesions including adenoma and adenocarcinoma. Methods A total of 971 subjects, aged 20-86, who underwent colonoscopy from July 2008 to July 2009 were included. The body height and weight were measured, and history of type Ⅱ diabetes was recorded. Based on the results of colonoscopy and pathology, the subjects were divided into study group (with confirmed adenoma or adenocarcinoma; n =471) and normal control group (n = 500). All data were analyzed by using logistic multi-factors regression. Results With adjustment for some potential mixed factors, obesity group run 2. 55 times of risk of colorectal adenoma or adencarcinoma compared with the normal weight group (OR = 2.55, 95% CI: 1.26-3.05, P =0.027), among which obese male's risk was 3. 32 (OR =3.32, 95% CI: 1. 50-6. 86, P = 0.007) times of that in normal weight males. There was no correlation between female's BMI and incidence of colorectal adenoma & adencarcinoma. Patients with type Ⅱ diabetes ran 2. 10 times of risk of developing colorectal neoplastic lesions compared with those without ( OR = 2.10, 95% CI: 1. 25 - 3. 57, P = 0.010). Incidence of colorectal adenoma & adencarcinoma was 3 times higher in those with type II diabetes less than 6 years, compared with those with history more than 6 years ( OR = 3.00, 95% CI: 1.05 - 10. 86, P =0. 040), which was not correlated with gender of diabetic patients. Those with both type Ⅱ diabetes and obesity had 3.05 times of risk of colorectal adenoma & adencarcinoma, compared with non-obese diabetic patients (OR = 3.05,95% CI: 1.08 - 18.41, P - 0.041). Conclusion Obesity is positively correlated with colorectal adenoma and adencarcinoma, and obese males run higher risk than females. Type Ⅱ diabetes also leads to a higher incidence of colorectal neoplastic lesions, which will run even higher when combined with o-besity.

Objective To provide the basis for early detection and treatment of precancerous lesions of gastric carcinoma, and reference for early discovery, diagnoses and treatment of gastric cancer, by examining the differences of expression of Helicobaeter pylori (Hp), both in the gastric mueosa and in blood serum, between precancerous lesions of gastric carcinoma patients and gastric cancer patients. Methods Used immunechromatographic method and protein chip system to determine the expression of Hp in blood serum and used immunohistochemistry to detect the expression of Hp in gastric mucosa. The patients had been diagnosed by pathological methods, 170 patients with precancerous lesions of gastric carcinoma, 111 patients with gastric carcinoma and 31 patients with superficial gastritis. Results The expression of Hp was detected on every stage of precancerous lesions and gastric carcinoma. Compared with the detection rates of Hp, precancerous lesions of gastric carcinoma was higher than gastric carcinoma and superficial gastritis, superficial gastritis was the lowest. The differences of the three were significant (P<0.01). The detection rate of Hp in the gastric mueosa (86.2%, 66.7%, 38.7%, respectively)was obviously higher than in blood serum (80.6%, 52.3%, 32.3%, respectively). Conclusions Hp participates in the process of the precancerous lesions and gastric carcinoma. The expression of Hp both in the gastric mueosa and in the blood serum could be one of the indexes, which might report the process and curative effect of precancerous lesions. With such advantages as simple and applicability, the detection of Hp in the blood serum could be used widely. The endoscopy and the detection of Hp in the gastric mucosa are suggested for patients with Hp positive in the blood serum.
