Objective To observe the effect of Antivirus Compound Capsule in protecting liver and reducing enzyme level in chronic type B hepatitis and acute hepatic injury caused by D-GlaN.Methods Mice model was established by intraperitoneal injecting of D-GlaN 800mg/Kg.The level of ALT and AST was obviously increased after 48hours.Pathological test proved to be acute liver cell damage.Clinically 117 cases of chronic hepatitis B was recruited into a control group(57 cases)and a treatment group(60 cases).The treatment group was treated with Antivims Compound Capsule and Silymarin tablet,and the control group was treated with Silymarin tablet.Besides,both groups were infused with diammonium Compound Capsule Can obviously reduce level of AST(P<0.001、<0.01、<0.01、<0.001);Three dosage levels of Antivirus Compound Capsule can obviously reduce the degree hepatic pathological changes caused by D-GlaN induced(P<0.01、<for the treatment group andtlle control group) between the two groups with P>0.02.while there was obvious difference of negative conversion rate of AST.[92.98%(53/57)and 78.9%(45/57)for the treaunent group and the consul group]between the two groups with P<0.01.Conclusion Antivirus Compound Capsule is effective in protecting liver and reducing enzyme level of patients with chronic hepatitis B and acute hepatic injury caused bv D-GlaN.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of perforator-based neurocutaneous flaps in repairing soft tissue defects of lower extremity in plateau area.Methods:Forty-eight patients who received perforator-based neurocutaneous local flaps to repair soft tissue defects of lower extremity from August, 2017 to December, 2019 were entered a follow-up study. The patients were 17 to 65 years old, 29 males and 19 females. There were 23 flaps with sural neurocutaneous perforator, 15 with saphenous neurocutaneous perforators, and 10 with superficial peroneal neurocutaneous perforators. The size of soft tissue defects ranged from 4.0 cm×3.5 cm to 15.0 cm×12.0 cm. And the size of the flaps ranged from 6.0 cm×4.5 cm to 16.0 cm×13.0 cm. The donor sites of 17 cases were directly sutured, and the rest of 31 were repaired by skin graft. The regular follow-up was performed.Results:Of the 48 cases, 33 neurocutaneous flaps survived completely, 9 had necrosis around edge of the skin after surgery and healed after hyperbaric oxygen therapy and dressing change, and 6 had complete necrosis after surgery and healed after vacuum assisted drainage and skin grafting. In 6 to 12(average, 9.6) months of follow-up after surgery, the shape and texture of flaps were in good condition with the patient satisfaction rate on functional evaluation(joint motions, standing, walking) at 75.45%.Conclusion:Perforator-based neurocutaneous flap is an excellent choice for the repair of soft tissue defects of lower extremity in plateau area because of its reliable blood supply and minimal damage to donor site.

Objective To explore the association between lipid profiles and left ventricular hypertrophy in a Chinese general population. Methods We conducted a retrospective observational study to investigate the relationship between lipid markers [including triglycerides, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, non-HDL-cholesterol, apolipoprotein A-I, apolipoprotein B, lipoprotein[a], and composite lipid profiles] and left ventricular hypertrophy. A total of 309,400 participants of two populations (one from Beijing and another from nationwide) who underwent physical examinations at different health management centers between 2009 and 2018 in China were included in the cross-sectional study. 7,475 participants who had multiple physical examinations and initially did not have left ventricular hypertrophy constituted a longitudinal cohort to analyze the association between lipid markers and the new-onset of left ventricular hypertrophy. Left ventricular hypertrophy was measured by echocardiography and defined as an end-diastolic thickness of the interventricular septum or left ventricle posterior wall > 11 mm. The Logistic regression model was used in the cross-sectional study. Cox model and Cox model with restricted cubic splines were used in the longitudinal cohort. Results In the cross-sectional study, for participants in the highest tertile of each lipid marker compared to the respective lowest, triglycerides [odds ratio (OR): 1.250, 95%CI: 1.060 to 1.474], HDL-cholesterol (OR: 0.780, 95%CI: 0.662 to 0.918), and lipoprotein(a) (OR: 1.311, 95%CI: 1.115 to 1.541) had an association with left ventricular hypertrophy. In the longitudinal cohort, for participants in the highest tertile of each lipid marker at the baseline compared to the respective lowest, triglycerides [hazard ratio (HR): 3.277, 95%CI: 1.720 to 6.244], HDL-cholesterol (HR: 0.516, 95%CI: 0.283 to 0.940), non-HDL-cholesterol (HR: 2.309, 95%CI: 1.296 to 4.112), apolipoprotein B (HR: 2.244, 95%CI: 1.251 to 4.032) showed an association with new-onset left ventricular hypertrophy. In the Cox model with forward stepwise selection, triglycerides were the only lipid markers entered into the final model. Conclusion Lipids levels, especially triglycerides, are associated with left ventricular hypertrophy. Controlling triglycerides level potentiate to be a strategy in harnessing cardiac remodeling but deserve to be further investigated.
