Objective To observe the effect of simvastatin on serum levels of matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9) and tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS).Methods 74 patients with coronary heart disease were studied.Among them,there were 34 patients with stable angina pectoris(SAP) and 40 patients with ACS.At the same time 25 cases of age matched healthy individuals were selected as a control.The serum level of MMP-gand TIMP-1 were compared among all groups.Results There was a significant difference in serum level of MMP-9and TIMP-1 among SAP group,ACS group and control group.The serum level of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 were different after treatment.Conclusion Plaque disruption may be related to the increased serum level of MMP-9 and the decreased serum level of TIMP-1 .Simvastatin can decrease serum level of MMP-9 and increase serum level of TIMP-1 in patients with ACS,and it may have a beneficial effect on clinical treating of patients with ACS.

SLE-like syndrome in (C57BL/6 x BALB/c) F1 mice can be induced by intravenous injection of lymphocytes from BALB/c parental mice. In these SLE-like mice levels of DNA antibody and anti—histone increased and there were immuno-complex mediated proteinuria, glomerulonephritis. 28 days later artesunate was given intraperitoneally to daily these mice. The results revealed that artesunate could significantly suppress the progression of disease activity,

MicroRNA (miRNA)is a kind of endogenous non-coding protein single-chain small RNA consisted of 18~25 nucleotides.In recent years,researches found that miRNAs played important modulating role in occurrence and development of heart diseases.This article made an overview for that.

Objective To observe the effect of interferon combined with kenacort in the treatment of scars. Methods According to random number table,287 patients with scars were randomly divided into treatment group and control group.The treatment group(145 cases) was treated with injection of the mixture of interferon and kenacort. The control group(142 cases) was applied with contratubex.The effect and adverse reaction of the two groups were compared.Results The total effective rate of the treatment group was 95.86%,which was higher than 64.08% of the control group,the difference was statistically significant(χ2 =45.52,P<0.01).The incidence rate of adverse reaction of the two groups had no statistically significant difference(χ2 =1.25,P>0.05).Conclusion These find-ings may shed some light on the clinical application of combined injection therapy on scar treatment,given that the closed dynamic method of injecting interferon combined with kenacort significantly improved scar healing.

Objective To investigate the effect of melatonin on serum malondialdehyde (MDA), NF-κB, tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) andβ2-microglobulin (β2-MG) levels in secondary brain damage following intracerebral hemorrhage patients.Methods 90 patients secondary brain damage following intracerebral hemorrhage were divided into experimental group and control group, 45 cases in each group.The control group were given conventional treatment after surgical removal of hematoma, and the experimental group, on the basis of control group, were given melatonin capsule (6 mg melatonin) , orally, once a day, for 2 weeks treatment.The levels of MDA, NF-κB, TNF-αand β2-MG in patients’ serum were detected.Results The MDA, NF-κB, TNF-αand β2-MG levels after treatment significantly decreased compared with before treatment in two groups (all P<0.05), and the above indexes in experimental group significantly decreased compared with control group ( P <0.05 ).Conclusion Melatonin can significantly reduce the levels of MDA, NF-κB, TNF-αand β2-MG levels in brain injury patients with cerebral hemorrhage, and repair brain damage, which has a guiding significance for clinical use.

AIM:To establish a fingerprint method of analyzing Xuefu Zhuyu Capsule(Semen Persicae,Radix Angelicae sinensis,Fruclus Aurantii,Rhizoma Chuanxiong,etc.) by HPLC. METHODS: A HPLC in combination with PDA detector was applied with a HiQ C_(18)(4.6 mm?250 mm,5 ?m) column by gradient elution using methanol-1.0% acetic acid solution as the mobile phase.The flow rate was 0.5 mL/min and the detection wavelength was at 260 nm. RESULTS: Thitrty-six common peaks were obtained in the fingerprint of Xuefu Zhuyu Capsule with good separation,six of them were identified as adenosine,paeoniflorin,naringin,hesperidin,neohesperidin and ligustilide by comparing chromatogram with control compounds. CONCLUSION: The HPLC method with good precision and reproducibility can be used for the quality control of Xuefu Zhuyu Capsule.

Objective To observe the effect of Yishen Decoction in treating IgA nephrotic massive albuminuria.Methods 44 cases of IeA nephropathy massive albuminuria are randomized into a treatment group and a control group.The control group is give.conventional western medical treatment,and the treatment group is given Yishen Decoction on the basis of conventional western medical treatment.Both groups are treated for a therapeutic period of 6 months.Observe the indexes of urine protein,serum creatinine(Scr),and blood urea nitrogen(BUN)24 hours before and after the treatment.Results The total efficiency of the treatment group and the control group is 86.36%,and 54.55%respectively.There is significant difference between the two groups.Besides,the treatment group is better at reducing albuminuria and protecting renal function than the control group.Conclusion Yishen Decoction is good at treating IgA nephrofic albuminuria.

This paper described 8 patients in whom a spontaneeus renal subeapsular hematoma devel-oped.Two cases with systemic hypertension by the mechanism described by Page were observed.The diagnosis was confirmed by CT and ultrasound,and the patients were treated by means of the hematoma aspiration guided by uttrasound,8 cases were cured.The blood presure in 2 patients with Page's kidney was dropped to normal.No relapse was dernon,vtrated by follLw-up.Author reconlmend this treatment in such cases based on uhrasound and CT finding that rule OUt underlying pathological changes.

Objective To measure D-Dimer(DD) ,thrombin-antithrombin complex(TAT), lasmin-antiplasrain complex(PAP) and protein C(PC) in ARDS,to find the clinical significance of them,discuss the objective base in the early diagnosis of ARDS in the lab, and offer the serologic bases in the treatment and prognosis of ARDS.Methods 105 patients of ARDS were selected as the study group, and 105 people were selected as the control group, all of whom were healthy with no thrombus diseases. The venous blood of everyone in both groups was sampied,in order to take a quantitative determination of plasma prothrombin time(PT), prothrombin time(TT), kadin partial thromboplastin time(APTT), the amount of blood platelet, DD, TAT, PAP, PC. Results Serum concentratation of D-D, TAT, PAP was significantly higher in patients in ARDS group than that in control group(P＜0.01).Serum concentratation of PC was significantly lower in patients in ARDS group than that in control group (P＜0.01). Conclusion Measuring the concentration of DD, TAT, PAP and PC was very important, which not only did good to the early diagnosis of ARDS,but also had a clinic value.

Objective To investigate the early clinical characteristic of neonatal peneumonia,and its early diagnosis and therapy. Methods Clinical data were analyzed retrospectively in 191 children with nenonatal peneumonia. Results Among 191 cases,72 cases were typical(37.7%);119 cases were atypical (37.7%);35 cases showed pneumonia by sternum(18.3%);19cases with fever(9.9%);104 cases with cough(54.5%);23cases with polypnes(12.0%);15 eases were transported to higher level hospital (7.8%);no death case. Conclusion Cough is an imporeant value to diagnosis in early clinical sympthon with neonatal pneumonia,and a characteristic in neonatal pneumonia. To improve the prognsis with neonatal pneumonia is early diagnosis and therapy.
