Objective To explore the efficacy,mechanism and safety of silibinin combined with Ruangan pills(a Chinese herbal preparation)in the treatment of schistosomiasis liver fibrosis. Methods A total of 200 patients with schistosomiasis liver fibrosis were randomly divided into a control group and a treatment group,and 100 patients in each group were respectively admin-istered with oral silibinin alone and oral silibinin combined with Ruangan pills,respectively. The curative effects in the two groups were evaluated in 3 months,6 months,9 months and 12 months respectively. Results The common five clinical symptoms of schistosomiasis liver fibrosis patients significantly relieved in the treatment group 12 months after the therapy,and the total effi-ciency reached more than 75%,which were significantly higher than that in the control group. In the treatment group and the con-trol group,there was no improvement in the liver B ultrasonic classification 3 months and 6 months after the therapy(P>0.05);however,in 9 months and 12 months,the liver B ultrasonic classification in the treatment group was better than that in the control group(P<0.05,P<0.01,respectively). For the four serum indexes of liver fibrosis,there was no significant differences between the two groups in 3 months,however,in 6 months,9 months,and 12 months,there was a significant improvement in the treat-ment group compared with the control group. There were no obviously adverse effects in two groups. Conclusion Silibinin com-bined with Ruangan pills has a better curative effect in the treatment of schistosomiasis liver fibrosis.

Objective:To detect pathogenic gene expression in patients with high risk hereditary cardiovascular diseases and explore its predictive value for high risk ventricular arrhythmia .Methods :The expression of pathogenic genes in 30 patients with clinically diagnosed high risk hereditary cardiovascular diseases were detected by using second‐generation high‐throughput sequencing on the basis of gene chip probes associated with high risk hereditary cardiovascular diseases .The patients were divided into two groups by whether the malignant ventricular arrhythmia had happened . And gene expression features of pathogenic genes in the two groups were comparatively analyzed .Results: Among the 30 patients , there were 8 patients (positive rate 26 .67% ) with pathogenic genes .In ten cases with history of high risk ventricular arrhythmia ,the pathogenic gene positive rate was 20% (2/10) .And the pathogenic gene positive rate in control group was 30% (6/20) .The difference between the two groups was not statistically significant .Conclusions :There is a certain positive rate of pathogenic genes in patients with high risk hereditary cardiovascular diseases .However ,further researches are needed to confirm the predictive value of the pathogenic gene expression for high risk ventricular arrhythmia happened in these patients .
