Sleep deprivation (SD) has been taken as an independent predictor for cardiovascular risks, which was closely related to the increased morbidity and mortality in coronary heart disease (CHD). In this article, after reviewing the impact of modern medical method sleep deprivation on CHD and studies on principle method recipe medicines for preventing and treating CHD, the authors observed the autonomic nerve dysfunction, hormonal metabolism dysfunction, endothelial dysfunction and inflammatory responses after sleep deprivation, which can cause or aggravate CHD. On the basis of the traditional Chinese medicine theories of "heart dominating the blood and vessels and the mind", the authors considered that traditional Chinese medicines can tonify heart and soothe the nerves, reducing all of the risk factors through multi-target and multi-pathway, and improve sleep and decrease the risk factors caused by sleep deprivation, which provides a new idea for the prevention and treatment of CHD.

Objective To discuss the role of endometrial blood flow screening measured by color Doppler energy(CDE) in the prediction of outcomes in patients receiving in vitro fertilization and embryos transfer(IVF-ET).Methods A total of 182 women below the age of 38 years old undergoing IVF-ET in this center from November 2005 to December 2005 were recruited in this prospective study.The endometrial thickness,echo pattern,and blood flow status were detected by transvaginal ultrasonography on the day of hCG injection(8 hours before injection).The patients were divided into three groups: Group A,the endometrial blood flow could not be detected;Group B,only sub-endometrial blood flow could be detected;and Group C,both endometrial and sub-endometrial blood flow could be detected.All the patients were re-divided into three groups according to their outcomes of IVF-ET: Group 1,no pregnancy;Group 2,intrauterine pregnancy with live fetus and Group 3,other conditions(including biochemical pregnancy,embryonic diapause,ectopic pregnancy,and spontaneous abortion) were encountered.Results The clinical pregnancy rate with live fetus and the implantation rate were significantly higher in the Group C(62.2% and 65.6%) than in the Group A(0 and 0) and the Group B(17.1% and 20.7%),respectively(P

Objective To summarize the experience of assisted reproductive technology concurrent deep vein thrombosis, improve the level of nursing. Methods The clinical data of 5 cases of assisted reproductive technology concurrent deep vein thrombosis in Reproductive Medical Center of Peking University Third Hospital were retrospectively analyzed and the related literature was retrieved,the nursing experience and preventive measures were summarized. Results Through treatment and careful, all the patient were cured. Conclusions Strengthen the nursing care of patients with assisted reproductive technology concurrent deep vein thrombosis, actively prevent ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome occurred is the key to reduce thrombosis. Those patients with risks factors should be paid more attention, strengthen health education, reduce or alleviate complications.

Objective To analysis the constituents of urinary stones in southeast Chongqing district,and provide the percep-tion and treatment of urinary stones.Methods Retrospective analysis of 1 628 random urinary stones samples in southeast Chongqing district from 2008 to 2014.The chemical constituents of stones were analysis with the clinical data.Results Urinary stones were more often found in those 30 to 70 years old,especially in males.The upper system stones were frequently founded.The percentage of mixed stones and pure stones were similar,The constituents of stones were similar to male and female,the most com-mon component of the urinary stones are calcium oxalate,which were found in 82.9% of the stones,infection stones were found 1 9.2%,but only found in renal and ureteral stones,and also increase gradually.The most common component of urinary stones in Qianjiang and Pengshui district were calcium oxalate,the infection stones were frequently found in Youyang and Xiushan district. Conclusion Chemical composition analysis of urinary stones is simple,quick and accurate,it is very important in providing infor-mation to the etiology,treatment and prevention of urinary stones.

Objective To explore the role of Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) and related signal transduction molecules in mechanisms underlying human papilloma virus (HPV) infection and condyloma acuminatum (CA) recurrence.Methods Peripheral blood was obtained from 30 healthy controls,35 patients with primary CA,32 patiens with recurrent CA and 30 patients with recurrent CA treated by imiquimod and ALA-PDT.Two-color flow cytometric analysis was used to detect TLR7 expression in different peripheral blood T cell subsets,Western blot to determine the expression levels of an adapter protein myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (MyD88),and signaling molecules including tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor (TRAF6),phosphatidylinositol3-kinase (PI3K),protein kinase B (AKT),p42/44 and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) in peripheral blood CD3+ T cells,from these subjects.Statistical analysis was carried out by Student's t test using the software SPSS 13.0.Results TLR7 was expressed in peripheral blood CD3+CD4+ T cells and CD3+CD8+ T cells from the healthy controls.Compared with the healthy controls,the patients with primary and recurrent CA showed no significant changes in TLR7 expression in CD3+CD8+ T cells,but a statistical increase in TLR7 expression in CD3+CD4+ T cells (23.3% ± 8.4% and 32.8% ± 8.9% vs.12.6% ± 6.3%,t =4.72,10.76,both P < 0.01).Decreased expression of TLR7 in CD3+CD4+ T cells was observed in patients treated with imiquimod and ALAPDT compared with the patients with recurrent CA (20.3% ± 5.7% vs.32.8% ±8.9%,t =5.41,P < 0.01).The protein expressions of MyD88,TRAF6,PI3K,p42/44 and NF-κB were significantly increased in CD3 + T cells,while the AKT protein expression experienced no significant changes in patients with primary or recurrent CA compared with the healthy controls.A significant decrease was observed in the protein expression of MyD88,TRAF6,p42/44 and NF-κB in the treated patients compared with those with recurrent CA.Conclusions TLR7,which is highly expressed in peripheral blood CD3+CD4+ T cells in patients with CA,may take part in the host immune response against HPV and serve as a recognition receptor for HPV infection.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of Wenyang Chubi Decoction (WYCBD), a compound traditional Chinese herbal medicine, on connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and collagen-I (COL-I) in a mouse model of scleroderma. METHODS: Scleroderma was induced in BALB/c mice by daily local injection of bleomycin for three weeks and the mice were randomly divided into untreated, WYCBD-treated and normal saline (NS) treated groups, with another group of BALB/c mice as normal control. WYCBD and NS were given orally for one month respectively. Histopathology in the skin and lungs of the mice were examined. The CTGF and COL-I expressions in the skin or skin lesions were detected by immunohistochemical Elivision assay. RESULTS: The expression levels of CTGF and COL-I in the untreated group were significantly higher than those in the normal control group (P<0.05). Compared with the NS-treated group, the WYCBD-treated group had significant improvement in the skin and lung histopathology and remarkably decreased expression levels of CTGF and COL-I (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Scleroderma mice showed high expressions of CTGF and COL-I in the skin. WYCBD had the effects of decreasing the CTGF and COL-I expressions and improving the skin fibrosis.
