Objective To discuss the value of Duke treadmill score in the diagnosis of coronary heart disease.Methods 94 inpatients underwent treadmill test and coronary angiography,the relationship between the Duke treadmill score and the results of coronary angiography was analyzed.Results The prognostic accuracy and positive predictive value of Duke treadmill score to male and female were 88.9%,85.0% ;those of traditional electrocardiogram ST standard were 89.6%,82.5 %,the differences were significant (x2 =4.27,P < 0.05).Conclusion The Duke treadmill score is much more significant than the traditional ST standard in the prognostic accuracy and positive predictive value of diagnosing coronary heart disease.
2.Expression of MCP-1 in human mesangial cells induced by Ox-LDL is mediated by the activition of nuclear factor-KB
Chinese Journal of Nephrology 1997;0(01):-
Objective To investigate the role of nuclear factor-KB( NF-KB) in the expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-i (MCP-1) in human mesangial cells induced by oxidized low density lipoprotein(Ox-LDL) . Methods Human mesangial cells were used as target cells. Levels of inhibitory KBK (IKB?) and MCP-1 protein were measured by ELISA. Activity of transcriptional factors NF-KB was determined by electrophoresis mobility shift assay ( EMSA) . Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the translocation of p65. Results Ox-LDL increased the DNA-binding activition of NF-KB and decreased the expression of IKB?. These effects were most obvious when the mesangial cells were cultured with Ox-LDL in 50 ?g/ml for 1 hour( P

Objective To explore the effects oflosartan on brain natriuretic peptide(BNP)and C-reactive protein(CLRP)in diabetic cardiomyopathy patients. Methods Sixty diabetics were divided into diabetic control group(30 cases)and diabetic cardiomyopathy group(30 cases), and the levels of BNP and CRP in plasma were determined. Then, diabetic cardiomyopathy group were divided into conventional treatment group(15 cases)and losartan treatment group(15 cases)by random digits table to take corresponding treatment for 12 weeks. The changes of cardiac function, the levels of BNP and CRP in plasma were detected and compared. Results The levels of BNP and CRP in diabetic cardiomyopathy group [(331.27 ±65.64)ng/L,(26.10±10.13)mg/L]were significantly higher than those in diabetic control group[(76.09±39.14)ng/L,(7.03±2.71)mg/L](P<0.01). After treatment 12 weeks, the levels of BNP and CRP were significantly lower, left ventricular ejection fraction was significantly higher and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter was significantly lower in losartan treatment group than those in conventional treatment group(P<0.05).Conclusions The increasing levels of BNP and CRP can reflect clinical severity of diabetic cardiomyopathy.Losartan can decrease the levels of BNP and CRP, and improve heart function, and it has better effective on diabetic cardiomyopathy.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of cluster needling of scalp acupuncture combined with rehabilitation(Tang's Approach) on depression of stroke patients with motor aphasia.Methods70 stroke patients were randomly divided into the acupuncture with rehabilitation group and the control group. The cluster needle of scalp point with speech rehabilitation training was used in the acupuncture with rehabilitation group, while speech rehabilitation training was used only in the control group. The degree of depression and aphasia were observed in the two groups 4 weeks after treament.Results 4 weeks after the treatment, the classification of aphasia was getting better in the acupuncture with rehabilitation group than in the control group(P<0.05), and the incidence of depression decreased significantly in the acupuncture with rehabilitation group compared with the control group(P<0.01). The score of Stroke Aphasic Depression Scale (SADQ) decreased significantly in the acupuncture with rehabilitation group compared with the control group (P<0.01).ConclusionTang's Approach may improve the depression of stroke patients with motor aphasia.

AIM:ToinvestigatetheeffectofIkarosisoformsontheproliferationofhumanovariancancerSK-OV3 cells.METHODS:Three isoforms of Ikaros, IK1, IK2 and IK6, were transfected into ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells. CCK-8 assay and cell counting were used to detect the effects of Ikaros isoforms on the proliferation of SKOV 3 cells.The cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry .The cell cycle-related proteins were detected by Western blot .RESULTS:IK1 and IK2 expression inhibited SKOV 3 cells proliferation .Flow cytometry analysis indicated that IK 1 and IK2 induced SK-OV3 cell cycle arrest at the G 1 phase.IK6 isoform exerted no obvious effect on the proliferation or cell cycle of SKOV 3 cells.Compared with control EV group , IK1 group and IK2 group showed a dramatic elevation in the expression of the cell cycle inhibitor p21, along with a substantial decrease in the expression of the cell cycle inducers cyclin D 1 and cyclin D2, which did not change in IK 6 group.CONCLUSION:IK1 and IK2 significantly inhibit the proliferation of ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells and induce cell cycle arrest at G 1 phase by regulation of cell cycle-related proteins cyclin D1, cyclin D2 and p21, while IK6 isoform exerts no obvious effect on the proliferation and cell cycle of SKOV 3 cells.

Purpose To investigate the influence of paraquat on substantial nigra and doparine levels ofstriatum in C57BL mice. Methods 39 neonatal C57BL mice were randomly divided into 5 groups andwere given paraquat or 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetra-hydropyridine(MPTP) orally in 10 th and 11 thdays odl; ( 1 ) MPTP 0.3 mg/kg, n = 8; (2) MPTP 20 mg/kg, n = 8; (3) paraquat 0.07 mg/kg, n = 8; ( 4 )paraquat 0.36 mg/kg, n = 8; (5) normal saline, n = 7. Adult spontaneous motor activity was observed atages of 120 days, then the mice were decapitated and the contents of dopamine(DA), serotonin(5-HT), andtheir metabolites in striatum were analyzed. Meanwhile, the dopamine neuons at the mesencephalon vereobserved by the method of ABC immunohistochemistry. Results Mice given Paraquat 0.36 mg/kg andMPTP 20 rng/kg showed a marked bypoactive behavior and reduced the striatal contents of DA andmetabolites without affecting 5-HT. Immunohistochemical staining showed that the amount of dopamineneurons at the midbrain decreased. Conclusions C57BL mice exposed to great amount of paraquat duringthe neonatal period could yield the alterations of behavior and some pathological and biochemical changessimilar to parkinson disease.

Objective To explore the impact of comprehensive musing intervention on the accuracy of non-stress test (NST). Methods With sealed envelope method, 400 cases of primiparous pregnant women without high risk factors were randomly divided into the research group and the control group with 200 cases in each group. The research group was given comprehensive care intervention, the control group received routine nursing. The incidence of non reaction of non-stress test, Apgar score no higher than 7 points, amniotic fluid pollution and cesarean section rate were compared between the two groups. Results The incidence of non reaction of NST was 15.08% in the research group, which was lower than 29.40% of the control group. The incidence of Apgar score no higher than 7 points and amniotic fluid pollution were 8.5% and 19.0% respectively in the research group, which showed no significant difference compared with those of the control group. The cesarean section rate in pregnant was 38.5% in the research group, which was significantly lower than 65.5% of the control group. Conclusions Comprehensive care intervention is effectively to improve the accuracy of NST , so that it can reduce cesarean section rate.
