Objective To investigate the serum level of C reactive protein(CRP) in the hypertension patients with heart function impairment.Methods 68 hypertension patients who had no,mild or severe heart function impairment were se- lected and accordingly divided into 3 groups,while 30 healthy subjects served as normal controls.The levels of HS-CRP and LVEF was measured.Results All the hypertension patients had a high CRP level than normal controls(P

Objective To investigate the effects and safety of the treatment of continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH)in refractoriness heart failure with renal insufficiency patients.Methods 35 hospitalized patients of refractori- ness heart failure with renal insufficiency were chosen from 2001 to 2006,25 patients were treated by CVVH,and other 10 patients were treated by regular hemodialysis.The serum BUN,Cr,left ventricle ejection fraction(LVEF),were observed before and after the therapy in each group.Results The clinical symptom were obviously improved in Group HF,and LVEF,cardiac output(CO) were both increased by continuous hemofiltration treatment(P

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system(LNG-IUS)for the treatment of dysmenorrhea associated with adenomyosis.Methods We recruited 48 women with moderate or severe dysmenorrhea associated with adenomyosis.All women were inserted of LNG-IUS into their uterine cavity from days 5-7 of their periods and maintained for 12 months.We compared the visual analogue scale(VAS)scores and verbal rating scale(VRS)scores of their dysmenorrhea and dyspareunia at baseline and 12 monthes follow-up.Results Forty-four women completed the study. There were significant differences between mean VAS and VRS scores changes of dysmenorrhea and dyspareunia at baseline and 12 monthes follow-up,those of dysmenorrhea dropping from 75?13 to 11?11 and 2.3?0.4 to 0.4?0.3,those of dyspareunia dropping from 54?19 to 4?4 and from 1.6?0.8 to 0.2?0.2 respectively.Overall 29 women(66%)were very satisfied or satisfied with the one-year treatment. Conclusion Insertion of LNG-IUS alleviates moderate or severe dysmenorrhea associated with adenomyosis remarkably.

Objective To explore the high risk factors, pathogenesis and methods of early diagnosis of periventricular leukomalacia(PVL) in premature infants.Methods The history of intrauterine hypoxia-ischemia was investigated in premature infants;TORCH-IgM antibodies in cord blood of premature infants were measured by ELISA; Nitric oxide (NO) levels in their cord blood were determined by nitric acid reducing enzyme means. Results Thirty-nine of 52 premature infants in PVL group had a history of intrauterine hypoxia-ischemia; TORCH-IgM antibody positive rate in cord blood of premature infants in PVL group was significantly higher than that in control group(P
