Chronic severe hepatitis is a critical disease with high mortality. Currently, effective drugs and therapy still lack. Comprehensive and supportive treatment, artificial liver and liver transplantation are the main therapies. A great number of studies on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in many ways combined with Western medicine treatment for chronic severe hepatitis have been reported, but the efficacy and safety still lack systematic evaluation.

Objective To observe the protective effect of gradual ischemic postconditioning (IP) capable of improving reperfusion on reperfusion injury in patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEAMl) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI).Methods 102 in-patients with STEAMI undergoing PPCI in the Department of Cardiology in the First People's Hospital of Kunshan City Affiliated to Jiangsu University from February 2011 to August 2014 were enrolled in this study. They were divided into three groups by a random number table: IP group (32 cases), gradual IP group (30 cases) and routine reperfusion group (40 cases). In IP group, after the opening of the infarction related blood vessel, ischemic postconditioning within the first minute of arterial reperfusion was made through three episodes of 1 minute inflation and 1 minute pressure withdrawn of an angioplasty balloon, and then persistent reperfusion was carried out. In the gradual IP group, the patients received three times of gradual angioplasty balloon inflation and denation, 1 minute/1minute, 30 seconds/30 seconds and 15 seconds/15 seconds respectively, presenting the gradual change of IP time. In the routine reperfusion group, after the opening of blocked blood vessel, the patients underwent routine PCI to persistently recover the coronary artery blood supply. The changes of related lead ST segment regression (Sum-STR), incidence of reperfusion arrhythmia, corrected thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) franle count (CTFC), peaks of MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase (CK-MB), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and frequency of adverse events in follow-up period were compared among the three groups.Results The baseline characteristics were comparable in three groups. The incidence of ventricular premature beats was significantly lower in gradual IP group than that in routine reperfusion group [30.0% (9/30) vs. 55.0% (22/40),P < 0.05], and although theincidence of ventricular premature beats was lower in IP group than that in routine reperfusion group [34.4% (11/32) vs. 55.0% (22/40)], no statistically significant difference was found (P > 0.05). The incidence of ventricular tachycardia was significantly lower in IP and gradual IP groups than that in routine reperfusion group [15.6% (5/32), 13.3% (4/30) vs. 40.0% (16/40), bothP < 0.05]. The incidences of ventricular fibrillation, bradyarrhythmia and sinus arrest were lower in IP group and gradual IP group than those in routine reperfusion group, but no statistically significant differences were found (allP > 0.05). In IP group and gradual IP group, the Sum-STR incidence, CTFC, CK-MB peaks were lower than those of routine reperfusion group [Sum-STR: (56.7±18.3)%, (57.3±21.5)% vs. (44.6±21.6)%; CTFC: 25.47±5.37, 24.46±6.41 vs. 31.62±7.56; CK-MB peaks (U/L): 126.3±78.5, 121.6±82.5 vs. 147.4±72.5; allP < 0.05], the effect of gradual IP group being the best among the three groups. The levels of LVEF were slightly higher in IP and gradual IP groups than the level in routine reperfusion group (0.507±0.042, 0.511±0.062 vs. 0.497±0.062), but no statistically significant difference was found (bothP > 0.05). In routine reperfusion group, one patient died because the ventricular fibrillation could not be corrected and another one died of no-reflow during operation. Each group had 1 patient died during the 4 weeks of follow-up after operation, in the routine reperfusion group, one died of refractory heart failure, and the cause of death of other two patients, one in IP group and another in gradual IP group, was considered due to subacute thrombosis in stent. Major bleeding events were not found in each group.Conclusion Gradual IP can ameliorate myocardial reperfusion injury more significantly in patients with STEAMI undergoing PPCI.

Objective To evaluate the role and technical advantages of CT in 125Ⅰseed implantation in the treatment of tumors. Methods CT-guided 125Ⅰ seed implantation in 45 cases of cancer patients treated 57 times in 51 lesions,CT were used to evaluate the progress of lesions after 125Ⅰ seed implantation 1,2,6 months. Results All procedures were once successful and the total effective rate was 74.5% without any serious complications. Fifty CT examinations immediately after implantation showed satisfactorily seeds distribution but seven cases less satisfactorily that include particles overlap,the location is too close to the lesion edge,the larger the radiation cold spots,etc. Follow-up CT reexamination in 1,2 and 6 months demonstrated that CT examinations showed satisfactorily seeds distribution but accurate seeds number,which could be solved by combined with MPR images and the positioning piece. Conclusions CT-guided 125Ⅰ seed implantation treatment of tumors was a safe,reliable and effective minimally invasive treatment. CT in the preoperative treatment of seed implants planning,precise intraoperative guidance,quality assurance and efficacy of postoperative assessment had a greater role and application advantages.
