Objective To investigate FIB and D-D with GRACE risk score to predict the risk of acute coronary syndrome (ACS)during hospitalization.Methods Plasma FIB,D-D and GRACE risk score were measured in 90 patients with ACS and 23 healthy controls,the number of coronary artery lesions of ACS patients also was obtained.Results The results of FIB,D-D levels and GRACE risk score in ACS group were 2.77±0.79 g/L,1.67±2.13 mg/L,147.19±32.50,respective-ly.Compared to controls,FIB,D-D and GRACE risk score in ACS group were significantly increased (t=6.256,6.465, 10.317,all P<0.001).There were significant differences in plasma D-D and FIB levels in different risk stratification (F=18.475,9.426,all P<0.001).FIB (r=0.485,P<0.000 1)and D-D (r=0.357,P<0.000 6)levels were found positively related with GRACE risk score.Conclusion Pasma FIB ,D-D levels and GRACE risk score were increased in ACS group. FIB and D-D can be used as indicators to predict the risk stratification for ACS patients,and D-D was better than FIB.

Objective To compare the curative effects of CT-guided ethanol injection and lauromacrogol injection into the sac cavity in treating ovarian endometriosis cysts. Methods A total of 86 patients with ovarian endometriosis cyst were enrolled in this study. The patients were divided into ethanol group (n=44) and lauromacrogol group (n=42). Under CT guidance, injections of ethanol or lauromacrogol into the sac cavity of ovarian endometriosis cysts were respectively performed for the patients of both groups. The patients were followed up for six months, and the curative effects and the complications were analyzed. Results Six months after the treatment, the cure rates of ethanol group and lauromacrogol group were 95.50%and 92.86%respectively, and no statistically significant difference in cure rate existed between the two groups (P>0.05). The preoperative serum CA125 levels of the ethanol group and lauromacrogol group were (48.42±23.68)μg/L and(49.21±22.83) μg/L respectively, and the post operative ones were (23.56±5.89) μg/L and (25.49± 6.10) μg/L respectively; the differences between the preoperative data and the postoperative data were statistically significant in both groups (P<0.05), although the differences in serum CA125 levels between the two groups were not significant (P>0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications in the lauromacrogol group was obviously lower than that in the ethanol group (P<0.05). The cure time in the ethanol group was shorter than that in the lauromacrogol group, although the difference was not significant after six months. Conclusion For the treatment of ovarian endometriosis cysts, CT-guided lauromacrogol injection into the sac cavity has reliable curative effect. Compared to ethanol injection, injection of lauromacrogol is safer and has fewer adverse reactions. Therefore, this technique should be recommended in clinical practice. Serum CA125 can be used as an indicator for the evaluation of curative effect.

Objective To establish the extraction process of Zhechong Chuangyu Capsule. Methods The difference of analgesic effect of water extraction and alcohol extraction in mice was observed by body-torsion test to determine the extract solvent. With the rate of aqueous extraction, n-butyl alcohol extraction and asperosaponin Ⅵ as evaluating indicator, the influencing factors including solvent volume, time and times of extraction were investegated to evaluate extracting procedure by orthogonal experiment. Results There was no obvious difference in analgesic effect between water extraction and alcohol extraction. Given the requirement of produce, aqueous extraction was a better choice. The optimum extracting condition was extracted 3 times with 20 folds volume of solvent, and extraction time was 150 minutes. Conclusion The extraction process is feasible to be applied into production.

Prolyl-4-hydroxylase domain (PHDs) family is one of the most important regulatory factors in hypoxic stress. PHD2 plays a critical role in cells and tissues adaptation to the low oxygen environment. Its hydroxylation activity regulates the stability and transcriptional activity of the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1), which is the key factor in response to hypoxic stress. Subsequently, PHD2 acts as an important factor in oxygen homeostasis. Studies have shown that PHD2, through its regulation on HIF-1, plays an important role in the post-ischemic neovascularization. Furthermore, under hypoxic condition, PHD2 also regulates other pathways that positively regulate angiogenesis factors HIF-1 independently. Moreover, recently, several evidences have also shown that PHD2 also affects tumor growth and metastasis in a tumor microenvironment. Based on these facts, PHD2 have been considered as a potential therapeutic target both in treating ischemic diseases and tumors. Here, we review the molecular regulation mechanism of PHD2 and its physiological and pathological functions. We focus on the role of PHD2 in both therapeutic angiogenesis for ischemic disease and tumor angiogenesis, and the current progress in utilizing PHD2 as a therapeutic target.

BACKGROUND:At present,the problems such as serious shortage of donor liver organs for transplantation,surgical injury,high incidence of surgical complications,as well as the high costs limit the development of liver transplantation,while the hepatic stem cell(HSC)transplantation provides a new pathway for the treatment of end-stage liver disease.OBJECTIVE:To introduce the source and classification of HSCs,research progress and problems of HSC transplantation for treatment of end-stage liver disease,and the clinical application prospects of HSC transplantation.METHODS:Articles were collected from CNKI and Medline database with the keywords of "hepatic stem cells,liver disease,transplantation" in both Chinese and English from 1999 to 2009.Among 87 articles,30 were included according to inclusion and exclusion criteria.Following reading titles and abstracts,original articles,and articles closely related to HSC transplantation with reliable argument and evidence and general analysis were included.Articles of repetitive studies and poor quality were excluded.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The HSC can be divided into liver-derived stem cells and non-liver-derived stem cells.Liver-derived stem cells include hepatic oval cells,mature liver cells and small hepatocyte-like progenitor cell.Non-liver-derived stem cells were mainly derived from embryonic stem cells,bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells and pancreatic stem cells.Currently,the research for the treatment of liver disease by HSC is still in its early stages.There are many difficult issues to be studied and solved in the discovery,separation,purification,comprehensive identification,cultivation,directed differentiation as well as clinical trials.However,as a new source of seed cells,HSC can not only replace the damaged tissue but can stimulate the receptor in tissue regeneration.Hence,compared with the clinical liver transplantation and bio-artificial liver,there are very bright future for the treatment of liver diseases by transplating HSC.

Objective To observe the feasibility of laryngeal mask ventilation general anesthesia com- bined epidural block in laparoseopie eholecystectomy. Methods One hundred and forty eases of selective laparoscopie eholecystectomy were performed to T8~T9 gap catheterization, with 1.5 percent lidoeaine epi- dural block, block levels in the following T4. After conventional anesthesia into 4# or 5# LMA, balloon gas was injected in 20 mL~30 mL, manual ventilation, respiratory resistance and the situation thorax ups and downs were observed. Results The patients epidural catheterization smoothly, in the anesthesia plane fol- lowing T4, insert the LMA blood pressure, heart rate without significant change. Pneumoperitoneum after the rebound in blood pressure[(20.6 5.0) mm Hg], heart rate did not change significantly, and then airway pressure increased[(5.7 1.6)cm H2O] , surgery performed smoothly, and quickly regained consciousness after the surgery, when all patients admitted gallbladder, they have resumed breathing independently. Con- dusion Laryngeal Mask Airway general anesthesia combined epidural block cause mechanical damage vocal cords and airway, make the stress response light and the sense of rapid recovery, which is a safe and feasible method of anesthesia.
