OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy of recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide (rhBNP) combined with levosimendan in acute decompensated heart failure(ADHF). METHODS:In retrospective study,120 cases diagnosed as AD-HF were divided into observation group and control group according to treatment plan,with 60 cases in each group. The patients of control group received rhBNP on the basis of conventional treatment,intravenously pulsed with dose of 0.15 μg/kg firstly,then maintained dose of 0.007 5 μg/kg viacontinuous intravenous pumping for 24-72 h;On the basis of control group,treatment group received levosimendan with loading-dose of 12 μg/(kg·min)for 10 min,maintenance dose of 0.1 μg/(kg·min)via intravenous pump,for 24 h,adjusted according to clinical manifestations of patients. The vital signs,hemodynamic and UCG indexes,the rate of dyspnea recovery,plasma level of BNP,urine and the occurrence of ADR were recorded in 2 groups. RESULTS:The vital sign and hemodynamic indexes of control group had no significant change 1 h after treatment;the levels of HR,RR,SBP,MPAP and MPCWP in 2 groups after treatment were significantly lower than before,while the levels of SaO2 and CO were significantly higher than before,with statistical significance (P<0.05). The levels of HR,RR,SBP,MPAP and MPCWP in observation group 1,2, 4 h after treatment were significantly lower than in control group,while the levels of SaO2 and CO were significantly higher than control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05);there was no statistical significance in vital sign and hemodynamic indexes between 2 groups at other time points (P>0.05). 48 h after treatment,LVEF of 2 groups were increased while plasma levels of BNP were decreased,compared to before treatment;the improvement of observation group was more significant than control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). And the urine volume of observation group were significantly higher than that of con-trol group 24,48 h after treatment,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the rate of dys-pnea recovery at different time points and the incidence of ADR after treatment between 2 groups (P>0.05). CONCLU-SIONS:rhBNP combined with levosimendan could effectively improve vital sign,hemodynamic indexes,UCG indexes and dys-pnea,and decrease the plasma level of BNP with good safety.

Objective To detect the expression of DBC2 and the methylation status of its gene promoter region in gastric cancer,so as to analyze their correlation. Methods Gastric cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues were collected from 92 cases as research subjects. The DBC2 mRNA expression and the methylation status of DBC2 gene promoter region in gastric cancer were detected by using RT?PCR and MS?PCR respectively. In addition,the correlation of DBC2 gene methylation status with clinicopathological parameters was analyzed. Results In comparison with adjacent normal tissues,gastric cancer tissues displayed a low expression level of DBC2mRNA and a high methylation level of gene promoter region. Besides, the methylation level was significantly correlated with tumor invasion depth,differentiation and TNM staging(P<0.05). With deep invasion,poor differentiation or higher TNM staging,methylation level of gene promoter region was more significant in gastric cancer tissues. Conclusion High methylation of DBC2 gene promoter region may be a significant contributing factor leading to low DBC2 expression.

Objective To observe the influence of XueShuanXinMaiNing(XSXMN)in the behavior and structures of cerebral cortex and hippocampus of the rats withβamyloid protein(Aβ)-induced Alzheimer’s disease(AD),and to explore its therapeutic effects on the rat AD.Methods 100 male Wistar rats were selected.According to weight, the rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, model group, positive drug group (donepezil hydrochloride,1.75 mg· kg-1 ),XSXMN 1.1 g· kg-1 group and XSXMN 2.2 g· kg-1 group. The rat AD models were made by injecting Aβinto hippocampus.After oral administration for 15 d,Morris water maze test, dark avoidance task and pathology test were performed.Results In Morris water maze test,compared with model group,the latency and swimming distance to platform of the rats in XSXMN 1.1 g·kg-1 group were decreased on the 2nd,4th and 5th day(P<0.05 or P<0.01);in XSXMN 2.2 g·kg-1 group,the latency to platform of the rats were decreased from the 3nd to 6th day(P<0.05 or P<0.01),the swimming distances to platform of the rats were decreased from the 3rd to 5th day(P<0.05 or P<0.01).On the 7th day,in XSXMN groups,the times of passing platform,time of staying on platform,distance of staying on platform,time of staying in effective area, distance of staying in effective area, time of staying on platform/total time, distance of staying on platform/total distance,time of staying on platform/total time were all increased significantly(P<0.05 or P<0.01)within 90 s. In dark avoidance task,compared with model group,the error latency and the error times of the rats in XSXMN groups had no obvious change on the 2nd day.The pathological results showed that there were degeneration nerve cells and necrosis nerve cells in the rat cerebral cortex in XSXMN groups,while in the rat hippocampus there were less number of nerve cells with obscure cell layer and many degeneration and necrosis cells were found;compared with model group,there was no obvious improvement.Conclusion XSXMN can improve the learning and memory function of the AD rats.

Objective To summarize the clinical symptoms of patients with non-erosive reflux disease(NERD) and reflux esophagitis(RE),which is helpful to the differential diagnosis.Methods Outpatients who met the criteria of NERD or RE according to the Montreal definition in Gastroenterology Department Wuhan Union Hospital from 2010-2014 were enrolled in our study.Clinical data were comprehensively collected.Incidence of disease,severity,frequency of esophageal and extraesophageal symptoms,and the rates of overlapping with functional dyspepsia (FD) or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) were all studied.Results Totally 446 subjects were recruited,including 225 patients with NERD and 221patients with RE.The occurrence rates of esophageal symptoms including heartburn [76.0％ (171/225) vs 52.0％ (115/221),P ＜ 0.01] and acid regurgitation [74.7％ (168/225) vs 54.3％ (120/221),P ＜0.05] in NERD group were significantly higher than those in RE patients,with more severe and frequent (P ＜ 0.05).Despite the rates of food regurgitation were similar,NERD patients behaved more severely and frequently (P ＜ 0.05).Extraesophageal symptoms including throat burning and foreign body sensation in NERD group [40.9％ (92/225) vs 27.6％ (61/221),42.2％ (95/225) vs 31.7％ (70/221),all P ＜0.05] were also higher than those in RE group,the degree of which was more severe too (P ＜ 0.05).RE patients claimed a higher proportion of chronic cough.The incidences of overlapping with IBS in two groups were similar.But there were more patients with FD in NERD group [72.0％ (162/225) vs 62.9％ (139/221),P ＜ 0.05] than in RE group.Conclusions The menifestations and degree of esophageal and extraesophageal symptoms in patients with NERD or RE are different,as well as comorbidities such as FD and IBS.These results suggest that NERD and RE are independent diseases.

Objective To investigate the relationships among distal contractile integral (DCI), ineffective esophageal motility (IEM)and gastroesophageal reflux through high resolution manometry (HRM)in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).Methods A total of 69 patients with GERD were enrolled.All patients received HRM and 24 hour pH and impedance monitoring examination. Pearson correlation analysis was performed to analyze the correlation between DCI,number of invalid swallowing and DeMeester score.All the patients were divided into three groups according to the number of invalid swallowing in 10 times of 5 mL liquid swallowing test.Patients with 5 to 10 invalid swallowing was in IEM group (n=21),one to four was in abnormal motility group (n=19),and zero was in normal motility group (n=29).The t test was performed for comparison of average DCI,average DCI of residual effective swallowing,DeMeester score,acid reflux time,bolus exposure time and proximal reflux times
among the three groups.Results Among the 69 patients with GERD,there was negative correlation between DCI and DeMeester score (r=-0.363,P =0.003)in 10 times of 5 mL liquid swallowing test;the number of invalid swallowing was positively correlated with DeMeester score (r=0.374,P =0.002). The mean DCI in 10 times of 5 mL liquid swallowing of normal motility group,abnormal motility group and IEM group was (1 458.96±545 .10),(986.48 ±577.50)and (288.50 ±167.25 )mmHg·s·cm, respectively,and that of IEM group was lower than normal motility group and abnormal motility group (t =-11 .42 and -2.12,both P <0.05).The average DCI of residual effective swallowing of normal motility group,abnormal motility group and IEM group was (1 458.96 ± 545 .10 ),(1 187.90 ± 669.40)and (450.78 ±350.73 )mmHg ·s ·cm,respectively,and that of IEM group was also lower than normal motility group and abnormal motility group (t = -8.05 and -5 .27,both P <0.01 ).The DeMeester score of IEM group (15 .42±8.79)was higher than that of normal motility group (6.34±3.45),and the difference was statistically significant (t=2.43,P <0.05).The acid reflux time and bolus exposure time of IEM group were (54.93 ± 37.07 )min and (0.64 ±0.49 )%,respectively,which were longer than abnormal motility group ((37.37±22.66)min,(0.52 ±0.24)%)and normal motility group ((21 .22 ± 13.98)min,(0.39 ±0.14)%),and the differences were statistically significant (t =2.36,2.17,2.60 and 2.54,all P <0.05).The total number of reflux of IEM group and abnormal motility group were 67.10± 32.94 and 57.26±38.90,which were both more than that of normal motility group (44.61 ±23.84),and the differences were statistically significant (t =2.48 and 2.17,both P <0.05 ).Conclusions DCI and the number of invalid swallowing can predict reflux condition of GERD patients in a certain degree.The contraction strength of esophageal body was the weakest and esophageal clearance was the worst in IEM group.
