Objective To investigate the relationship of serum levels of C-reactve protein (CRP) with diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Method Thirty-six patients with DCM were recruited as DCM group and thirty healthy people as the control. Serum levels of CRP in all subjects were determined by immunoturbidimetry. Results Compared with control group, the serum levels of CRP in patients with DCM were singnificantly increased by about 3.7 folds[(6.95?1.37)mg/dL vs.(1.89?0.38) mg/dL, P

0.05),however,a difference was found in peritumoral region between high-grade gliomas[(1.41?0.288)?10(-9)mm2/s] and metastatic lesions[(1.66?0.164)?10(-9)mm2/s](P0.05).Conclusion Peritumoral MD can be used to distinguish high-grade glilmas from metastatic tumors.

Policosanol is a new drug for regulating lipid,which can inhibit cholesterin synthesis and increase blood clearance of low-density lipoprotein(LDL).It has similar effect as statins and its clinical efficiency,safety and tolerance for special people such as the old and those with hepatopath have been confirmed by many clinical studies.Policosanol combined with statins or fibrates is also safe,which can be used as primary prevention for the patients with hypercholesterinemia,high low-density lipoprotein-cholesterolor low high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and as secondary prevention for the patients who could not tolerate other lipid-regulating drugs.The long-term clinical effect of Policosanol on the risk factors of atherosclerosis need further researches.

Objective To study the changes of cytokines in aqueous humor of patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR)after intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) and the correlation of these cytokines.Methods Fifty-six patients(63 eyes) with severe PDR underwent pars piana vitrectomy (PPV) with IVB pretreatment in our hospital from April,2014 to February,2015 were collected.All the patients received IVB therapy from 3 days to 7 days before PPV.Aqueous humor samples were collected at the time of IVB and PPV treatment.The concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF),interleukin-6 (IL-6),interleukin-8 (IL-8) and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) were measured by cytoinetric bead array (CBA).The changes of these cyto-kines after IVB were analyzed by using Wilcoxon rank sum test for paired data.The correlation between these cytokines was analyzed by using Spearman rank test.Results From 3 days to 7 days after IVB,the concentration of VEGF in aqueous humor was (6.57 ± 12.29)pg · mL-1,lower than the pre-operation of (278.71 ±340.20)pg · mL-1,the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).The concentration of IL-8 was (385.60 ± 1099.47) pg · mL-1,higher than pre-operation of(298.87 ± 1005.79) pg ·mL-1,the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).IL-6 and MCP-1 were increased after IVB,but the difference was not statistically significant (all P ＞ 0.05).VEGF,IL-6,IL-8 and MCP-1 had an obviously relationship between each two factors(all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Angiogenesis in patients with PDR are regulated by a variety of cytokines,and targeted reduction of VEGF may compensatory increase the concentration of other inflammatory cytokines.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of the early slope value of enhancement in differentiating benign from malignant musculoskeletal masses.Methods Dynamic contrast-enhanced gradient-recalled acquisition in the steady state imaging(GRASS) was performed to evaluate 36 musculoskeletal masses(18 malignant,18 benign).The difference of the early slope value of enhancement was analysed and compared between benign lesions and malignant ones.Using ROC curve plotting obtained the best decisive threshold.Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to determine the relation between slope and microvessel density of tumor tissues.Results The average early slope value of enhancement was (4.33?2.70)% per second (range 0.97%～10.50% per second)for malignant lesions,and was (1.46?0.97)% per second(range 0.37%～3.86% per second)for benign ones.There was an apparent statistical significance between benign and malignant tumors(?

ObjectiveTo investigate whether miR-25 targets KLF4 to regulate the growth of gastric cancer cells and lucidate the mechanism of miR-25 producing functional effects in gastric cancer cells. Methods The expression levels of miR-25 and KLF4 were detected by qRT-PCR in 35 pairs of gastric cancer tissues of patients. Target genes of miR-25 were predicted using Targetscan and verified though dual luciferase activity assay and west-ern blot. MTT assay and clone formation assay were detected after downregulated miR-25 and overexpressed KLF4 respectively. Results miR-25 was highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues with KLF4 downexpresstion. Downreg-ulated miR-25 and overexpressed KLF4 respectively can significantly reduce the proliferation of gastric cancer cells,the results were opposite when overexpression of KLF4. Conclusion miR-25 promotes gastric cancer cells proliferation by targeting KLF4.

Objective To investigate the effects of patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) with lornoxicam and fentanyl on arrhythmia and the expression of platelet membrane glycoproteins in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) after abdominal surgery.Methods Eighty ASA II or III patients with CAD aged 51-66 yrs weighing 59-68 kg presenting for bdominal surgery participated in this study. CAD was diagnosed by clinical symptoms and ischemic changes on ECG. The patients were premedicated with intramuscular henobarbital 0.1 g and scopolamine 0.3 mg. Anesthesia was induced with fentanyl, droperidol, propofol and vecuronium and maintained with propofol, fentanyl and vecuronium. The patients received PCIA after operation. The PCIA solution contained fentanyl 0.9 mg and droperidol 5 mg in 100 ml of normal saline (N.S. ) in group A ( n - 40) or lomoxicam 56 mg, fentanyl 0.2 mg and dropendol 5 mg in 100 ml N.S. in group B ( n = 40). In group A the loading dose was fentanyl 0.05 mg and in group B lornoxicam 4 mg. PCIA included a background infusion at 2 ml ? h-1 and a bolus of 0.5 ml with a 15 min lock-out. VAS (0 = no pain, 10 = worst pain) was used to measure pain intensity In addition to BP, HR and SpO2 monitoring ECG was continuously monitored with a Holler monitor after operation Blood samples were taken from peripheral vein before and 6h after operation and on the 1st, 2nd, 7th and 8th postoperative days for determination of the expression of CD62p, CD63 and CD41/CD61 on the platelet membrane, platelet count, prothrombin time ( PT) thrombin time (TT) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) Results The two groups were comparable with respect to sex, age, body weight, severity of CAD, duration of operation and intraoperative blood loss. The patients received no blood transfusion during operation. There was no significant difference in VAS score, platelet count, PT, TT and PIT between the two groups. The incidence of atrial and ventricular premature beat on ECG and the expression of CD41 /CD61 , CD62P and CD63 on the platelet membrane were significandy lower in group B than in group A on the 7th and 8th postoperative days (P

Background:Studies have shown that patients with peptic ulcer are susceptible to the accompanying of anxiety and depression,and affects the treatment of ulcer. Aims:To study the effect of flupentixol and melitracen combined with quadruple therapy on peptic ulcer patients with anxiety and depression. Methods:Sixty-eight peptic ulcer patients with anxiety and depression from May 2012 to May 2013 at Wuhu No. 2 People’s Hospital were enrolled,and were randomly divided into control group and observation group. Patients in control group were given quadruple therapy( rabeprazole 20 mg + amoxicillin 1. 0 g + clarithromycin 0. 5 g + colloidal bismuth subcitrate solution 10 mL,bid),while patients in observation group were given flupentixol and melitracen in addition to quadruple therapy,the treatment course were both for 2 weeks. Therapeutic efficacy of ulcer,Helicobacter pylori( Hp) eradication,therapeutic efficacy of anxiety and depression,incidence of adverse reaction and recurrence rate of ulcer within one year after treatment were compared between the two groups.
