[Method] A total of 78 patients with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD) and gastrointestinal dysfunction were randomly divided into two groups: treatment group(n=40) and control group(n=38). Al patients received conventional therapy for AECOPD and tablet mosapride 5mg tid for 3 days. Patients in treatment group also received acupoint sticking at“Zu-sanli”(ST36) with magnolia powder q8h for 3 days. [Result]The total effective rate was 75.0%for treatment group,and 44.7%for control group. The total effective rate of treatment group was higher than that of control group, and no marked side effects were found. [Conclusion] Acupoint sticking at“Zusan-li”(ST36) with magnolia powder combined with mosapride can relieve gastrointestinal dysfunction of patients with AECOPD.

To verify the role of introvascular ultrasound(IVUS) in diagnosis of atherosclerosis. MethodsINUS wasused to measure the position, quality and the thickness of the plaque in the elastic artery and biopsy materials. After using HE andHart stains, a micrometer was used to measuse the thickness of plaques and arterious walls. And electron microscopy was used to ob serve the pathological changs of the plaque. ResultsBy histological observation compared with IVUS, the conformable rate of plaque anmounted to 94%. The plaque could be seen in 12 sites of control group. Among 33 sites, 32 plaques were found pathologic exmination while IVUS showed 30 plaques in the experimental group. The two methods had a gcod correlation on the thick measurement of plaque and the media( r = 0.835, P＜0.05 and r = 0.814, P＜ 0.05). But they had a poor correlation on the measurement of the intirna( r = 0.055). ConclusionsBy pathological examination and the quantitative analysis, IVUS can obtain the common purpose in diagnosing atherosclerosis and measuring the media thickness. But it can not be used in measurement of the intima.

Objective To assess myocardial contractility in essential hypertention(EH) of different remoldings by means of circumferential midwall fractional shortening (mFs), relation between mFs and circumferential end-systolic stress(mFs-cEss). Methods The eject fraction(EF), circumferential end-systolic stress(cEss), fractional shortening(Fs), mFs was calculated in 115 EH patients and 29 normal controls. Relations in mFs-cEss, Fs-cEss between the subjects were analysed with linear correlation and linear regression. Results In using EF,Fs,Fs-cEss to assess chamber function of the patients with hypertension of four left ventricular remoldings, it shows apart from eccentric hypertrophy, the rest three remoldings were overestimative. MFs assessing myocardial contractility in four remoldings was lower than that of the controls, especially obvious in concentric hypertrophy patients(P

The purpose of this study was to observe whether HBV can infect HSC in vitro. LX-2 cells, the human activated HSC cell line, were incubated with human serum containing HBVDNA at final concen-trations from 0.01 to 10 copies/cell and harvested after 24,48 and 72 hours. Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B core antigen(HBcAg) were detected by lmmunohistochemistry dyed by DAB. By Immunohistochemistry, no positive particles in LX-2 cells, a few of dark brown particles (HBsAg and HB-cAg) were found in cytoplasm and nucleoli of HepG2.2. 15 cells,a lot of clark brown particles were found in liver biopsies of patients with chronic hepatitis B. In vitro, there was no evidence that HBV can infect and express antigens in LX-2 cells.

To review the research of block copolymer micelles as delivery system for poorly soluble(antineoplastic) carrier over the last 10 years,including the composition,preparation methods and factors which influence the loading efficiency,physicochemical properties,and targeting characteristics of block copolymer micelles.Block copolymer micelles are self-assembled structures formed from amphiphilic block copolymers by dispersing in aqueous media.The hydrophilic blocks of the copolymer form the outer shell of the micelle,while the hydrophobic blocks form the inner core,and the proper coreshell micellar architecture was constituted.Block copolymer micelles have a whole set of unique properties,such as small sizes,narrow particle size distribution,high drug loading capacities,and available disposition characteristics in the body.Block copolymer micelles have been found as promising drug carriers due to making poorly soluble antineoplastic lysis,toxicities and side effects decrease,bioavailability increase,and targeting the drugs to specific sites in a passive way or attaching ligands in an active way,which can be specifically(recognized) by receptors onto the surface of copolymers.

Objective To investigate whether there is a correlation of serum interleukin 18 (IL 18) and nitric oxide (NO) with Fulminant Hepatic Failure(FHF) and the effect of N acetylcysteine (NAC) on IL 18 and NO levels. Methods The level expression and dynamic changes of serum IL 18 and NO in 65 FHF patients serum were measured by ELISA. IL 18 and NO and their expression levels were observed comparatively in NAC treatment group (29 cases) and composite treatment group (36 cases). Results Serum IL 18 and NO concentrations in patients with FHF in both groups (NAC and Combination) were significantly higher than the control ( P

OBJECTIVE: To explore the expression of interleukin-25 (IL-25) in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and its potential significance in pathogenesis. METHOD: IL-25 expression in blood was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). IL-25 expression in tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry (LSAB method) from polyps (68 CRSwNP patients) and 55 inferior turbinate mucosa from patients with deviation of nasal septum served as control. Complete blood count and HE staining of blood and tissue eosinophil infiltration degree. RESULT: IL-25 expression in CRSwNP group were significantly higher than the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.01). IL-25 expression in local organizations was positively correlated with the number of eosinophil infiltration in CRSwNP group (r = 0.679, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION The expression of IL-25 in CRSwNP patients mutually reinforcing and might increase eosinophil infiltration and play an important role in the development of CRSwNP.
