Objective:To observe the influences of Xuenaoxin capsule on the levels of endothelin(ET)and calcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP)and neurological deficit extent in patients with acute cerebral infarction.Methods:A randomized, positive drug controlled clinical trial design was used,59 cases of acute cerebral infarction with qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome were randomly divided into treatment group(30cases)and control group(29cases).The treatment group was treated with Xuenaoxin capsule,3 times a day,4 pills each time and the control group was treated with Nimodiping,3 times a day,20mg each time.Both groups had 14 days as a treatment course.The changes of levels of endothelin(ET)and calcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP)in plasma as well as neurological deficit were measured and compared.Results:The plasma ET in treatment group (57.658?14.877)pg/L were significantly lower than those in control group(70.456?17.059)pg/L,but the plasma CGRP(84.404? 8.705)ng/L was higher than that in the control group(78.402?10.699)ng/L on the 14th day.The differences were both significant (P=0.0032,P=0.0213).The results showed that the total effective rate of Xuenaoxin capsule on improving clinical symptoms of patients with acute ischemic stroke was 76.67%and very superior to that of Nimodiping(P=0.0035).Conclusion:Xuenaoxin capsule could reduce neurological deficit extent,and improve the prognosis of patients with acute cerebral infarction by means of regulating ET and CGRP.

Objective To evaluate gastric varices embolization by endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS). Methods One hundred and eighty-five hepatic cirrhosis patients complicated with gastric varices were divided into two groups, the EUS group, 109 patients and the control group, 76 patients. Ninty-nine patients with confirmed gastric varices by EUS in the EUS group were treated by Histoacryl. All of the patients were examined by EUS soon after the embolization and at three months later. While 76 cases confirmed by endoscopy in the control group were treated by Histoacryl who only examined by EUS three months later. Results The rate of hemostasic both were 100% and rebleeding never occurred within three weeks in EUS group while the rate of the early rebleeding in the control group was 11. 8% (9/76). There was significant difference between the two groups (P

Objective:To explore the safety and efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy for relapsed/refractory acute B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) with T315I mutation.Methods:The clinical data of a patient with relapsed/refractory B-ALL with T315I mutation who underwent CAR-T therapy in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University was analyzed, and the related literature was reviewed.Results:The patient was a 34-year-old man. He was diagnosed with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) in January 2017 and started to take imatinib orally. However, the primary affection transformed to B-ALL 4 months later. Because of the E355G gene mutation, the treatment drug was adjusted to dasatinib, and induction chemotherapy was given at the same time. The sequential consolidation chemotherapy was given for 3 times after complete remission (CR). After half a year of remission, T315I mutation was detected and re-induced chemotherapy was given, but ineffective. The patient was treated with CAR-T 3 days after FC regimen (fludarabine 30 mg/m 2 per day, day 1 to day 3; cyclophosphamide 200 mg/m 2, day 1 to day 3). The number of CD19 CAR-T was 1.0×10 9, 98% activity degree. Grade 1 cytokine-releasing syndrome appeared after infusion, and was resolved after symptomatic treatment. No serious adverse reactions were observed. CR was achieved half-month after CAR-T treatment, and umbilical cord blood transplantation was successfully performed 1 month later. At the last follow-up, the relapse-free survival time of the patient was 396 days. Conclusion:CAR-T therapy may be a new, safe and effective therapy for patients with relapsed/refractory B-ALL with T315I mutation.
