ObjectiveTo investigate the significance of synchronic heart rate variation(HRV) and blood pressure variation(BPV) in the evaluation of coronary artery disease(CAD).MethodsOne hundred and three patients who received coronary artery angiography were divided by the lesion degree into occlusion group (28 cases with more than 1 complete-occlusion coronary artery),non-occlusion group (45 cases with more than 1 coronary artery stenosis ≥50％ but without complete-occlusion) and control group (30 cases without stenosis ≥50％).Occlusion group and non-occlusion group were divided by lesion location into left anterior descending (LAD) lesion (32 cases),left circumflex ( LCF ) lesion (23 cases ) and right coronary artery(RCA) lesion (18 cases).And these two groups were also divided by lesion branch number into 1 lesion branch (23 cases),2 lesion branches (19 cases) and 3 lesion branches(31 cases).The time domain indexes of HRV were detected and calculated by 24 h dynamic blood pressutre and ECG,including standard deviation of normal number of R-R intervals (SDNN),standard deviation of per 5 min average normal R-R intervals(SDANNind),24 h average of standard deviation of per 5 min normal R-R intervals(SDNNind),root mean square of standard deviation of adjacent normal R-R intervals (rMSSD),and percentage of the difference of adjacent normal R-R intervals ＞ 50 ms (PNN50).And indexes of BPV were detected,including daytime systolic pressure standard deviation (dSSD),daytime diastolic pressure standard deviation (dDSD) and nighttime systolic blood pressure standard deviation (nSSD).The correlations between synchronic HRV and BPV and different coronary artery lesions were analyzed.ResultsSDNN,SDANNind significantly decreased and dSSD obviously increased with the aggravation of coronary stenosis,and there was statistical significance[ ( 115 ± 35 ) ms vs.(98 ± 25 ) ms vs.( 78 ± 28 ) ms,( 100 ± 30) ms vs.( 86 ± 23 ) ms vs.( 70 ± 29 )ms,(14 ± 3) mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa) vs.(20±4) mm Hg vs.(28±2) mm Hg](P＜0.05).rMSSD and PNN50 decreased,dDSD and nSSD increased with the aggravation of coronary artery stenosis,but there was no statistical significance (P＞0.05).SDNN and SDANNind in patients with LAD lesion and LCX lesion were significantly lower than those in control group,and dSSD was obviously higher than that in control group (P ＜ 0.01 or ＜ 0.05 ).SDANNind,rMSSD,PNN50,dDSD and nSSD in patients with LAD lesion and LCX lesion had no significant difference compared with those in control group (P ＞ 0.05 ).SDNN,SDANNind,SDNNind,rMSSD,PNN50,dSSD,dDSD and nSSD in patients with RCA lesion had no statistical significance compared with those in control group ( P ＞ 0.05 ).All the indexes of HRV tended to descend and indexes of BPV trended to raise with the increasing number of coronary artery lesion branches.But only the changes of SDNN,SDANNind,SDNNind,rMSSD,PNN50 and dSSD had statistical significance (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The more significantly HRV decreases and dSSD increases in patients with coronary artery disease,the more serious the coronary artery stenosis is and the wider the lesions are.The lesions are commonly located in LAD.It has certain guiding value for the evaluation of coronary artery diseases.

Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors that plays a critical role in regulating glucose and lipid homeostasis,and in the processes of tumor cell proliferation,differentiation,apoptosis,invasion and distant metastasis.Studies demonstrate that PPARγexpression is detected in human lung cancer tissues and numerous lung cancer cell lines.Activation of PPARγthrough its ligands impedes significantly a variety of tumor progression,including lung cancer.However,systemic activation of PPARγhas been reported to be protumorigenic in some in vitro systems and in vivo models.

Objective To find ways to reduce vascular crisis of the patients undergoing replantation of severed fingers by pain, adverse analgesics and sleep quality with auricular seeds pressing. Methods 310 digital replantation patients were divided into 2 groups according to admission time. There were 155 cases in the traditional group treated with routine postoperative care ,while 155 cases in the controlled group treated with routine postoperative care plus auricular seeds pressing. Results The scores of pain, adverse analgesics and sleep quality in two groups were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The rate of vascular crisis of the traditional group [18.06%(28/155)] was much more higher than the controlled group [5.16%(8/155)], the difference was significant, χ2=12.571, P < 0.01. Conclusion In digital replantation, auricular seeds pressing was effective to pain relieving, constipation and reduce adverse reactions, and could significantly improve sleeping time and survival rate of the severed fingers.

OBJECTIVE:To study the use and developmental tendency of psychotolytics in hospitals of Guangdong province.METHODS:The psychotolytics used in hospitals of Guangdong province during the period of2000～2004were an-alyzed statistically in respect to consumption sum,DDDs and average daily expense.RESULTS&CONCLUSIONS:Both consumption sum and DDDs of psychotolytics in the past5years increased to a large extent.Benzodiazepine topped the list of anti-anxiety drugs.The consumption of2nd generation antipsychotics increased year by year.On the whole,the consumption of antidepressants increased annually,of which,fluoxetine,flupentixol/melitracen and paroxetine were the most frequently used drugs.However,the consumption of tricyclic antidepressants has a significant reduction.

Objective To investigate the expression of miR-200b in lung cancer and its relationship with clinicopathological features of lung cancer.Methods The specimens of lung tumor tissue and adjacent normal lung tissue of 36 cases of lung cancer who received surgical treatment in our department were collected,and then quantitative real time PCR (qRT-PCR) was applied to determine the expression of miR-200b in lung cancer tissue and adjacent normal lung tissue.Results The expression of miR-200b in lung cancer was significantly lower than adjacent normal lung tissue (P =0.000),and in small cell lung cancer was also significantly lower than adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma (0.13 ± 0.09 vs.0.64 ± 0.33,0.75 ± 0.30) (P =0.005 and P =0.001).The expression of miR-200b in patients with positive lymph nodes,advanced stage of lung cancer and in smokers were significantly lower than those with negative lymph nodes,early stage of lung cancer and in non-smokers,respectively (0.52 ± 0.29 vs.0.87 ± 0.35,0.46 ±0.25 vs.0.90 ±0.32,0.52 ±0.27 vs.0.90 ±0.39) (P =0.004,P =0.000 and P =0.015).Conclusions Low expression of miR-200b may participate in the occurrence and progression of lung cancer,especially in small cell lung cancer,and correlates with the metastasis of lung cancer.The down-regulated expression of miR-200b may be induced by smoking.Thus,miR-200b perhaps is a new target for the treatment of lung cancer.

Objective To determine the effect of Nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 ( Nrf2 ) on acute hephrotoxicity induced by CCl4 in male rat.Methods 20 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group and CCl4 group, 10 rats in each group, another 10 male Wistar rats were transgenic rats microinjection through the carrier, obtained the Nrf2-tk gene integration and specific transgenic rats, as the CCl4 +Nrf2 integration group.The groups was given 1%polysorbate 80 for 4 days,Then the CCl4 and CCl4 +Nrf2 integration group were intraperitoneally injected with a single dose of CCl47.5 mg· kg-1 and were killed 24 h after CCl4 injection.The serum chemical parameters including asparate aminotransferase ( AST) ,alanine aminotransferase ( ALT) and lactate dehydrogenase ( LDH) were measured.Also malonaldehyde ( MDA) ,glutathione ( GSH) ,oxidized glutathione ( GSSG) levels in the liver as well as glutathione ( GSH)/oxidized glutathione ( GSSG ) ratios were detected. Histopathologic changes in the liver were examined. Results F1generation TK transgenic rats in liver and testis and other tissues and organs were not detected the transcription of Nrf2-tk, indicating that Nrf2-tk expression in tissues is specific good.Nrf2 significantly reduced serum AST, ALT and LDH levels in a dose-dependent manner.The results of MDA levels and GSH/GSSG ratios in liver and kidney showed that Nrf2 reduced CCl4-induced hepatic lipid peroxidation,and ameliorated glutathione depletion.The histopathologic results showed that Nrf2 restrained liver and kidney damage induced by CCl4 .Conclusion Nrf2 can effectively protect male rat from acute hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity induced by CCl4 .

Currently we are still unclear in the aspect of etiology and mechanisms,and lack of medical advice based on evidence-based medicine on postural tachycardia syndrome,inappropriate sinus tachycardia and vasovagal syncope.It also prompts clinical research direction of the three special arrhythmia in future.Based on this,it is very necessary to interpret the management consensus of these three types of arrhythmia.

Objective To investigate the common causes of hypokalemia of inpatients in department of endocrinology.Methods Fifty-nine inpatients with hypokalemia were analyzed retrospectively.Results 84.7％(50/59) of patients with hypokalemia was clearly caused by endocrine diseases,among which 33.9％ (20/59) was diabetes mellitus,25.4％ (15/59) was hyperthyreosis,others were rare endocrine diseases,for example primary hyperaldosteronism and Cushing syndrome,et al.Conclusions Endocrine disease is an important reason of hypokalemia.The doctor should attach importance to the diagnosis and treatment of hypokalemia caused by endocrine disease.

Objective To investigate the effects of artificial semi-shoulder joint replacement for humerus proximal fractures in the aged patients. Methods From January 2004 to February 2007, 42 elderly patients who had been diagnosed as three or four-part fractures of proximal humerus received humeral head replacement. The rotor cuffs were repaired during operation, and the lesser tuberosity and greater tuberosity were reconstructed. Early functional exercise was carried out according to the Neer rehabilitation principles. Results All the patients were followed up for 10 to 28 (mean, 12.7) months postopera-tively. Their shoulder functions were assessed by the ASES (American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeon) score. Obvious pain relief was observed. Eleven cases were excellent, 24 good, 4 fair and 3 poor. The good-to-excellent rate was 83.3%. No prosthetic loosening was noted in this group, but upward shift of the shoulder prosthesis occurred in 3 cases, slight limitation of upward movement in 1 case and absorption of lesser or greater tuberosity in 4 cases. Conclusion Artificial semi-shoulder replacement can be applied for three or four-part fractures of proximal humerus in the aged patients.
