Objective To discuss clinical curative effect and value of valsartan combined with Huangkui capsule on the chronic glomerulonephritis proteinuria.Methods 70 cases of patients with chronic glomerulonephritis proteinuria were selected in our hospital,and randomly divided into two groups,35 cases in control group with valsartan oral,80 mg per time,once per day,8 weeks as a course of treatment;35 cases in experimental group, combined with Huangkui capsule on the basis of conventional treatment orally,5 capsules per time,3 times per day,8 weeks for a period of treatment. After 8 weeks treatment,changes of serum creatinine,serum urea nitrogen,the urine protein and clinical therapeutic effect were compared before and after treatment in two groups.Results Contents of serum urea nitrogen,serum creatinine,urine protein were improved in two groups after treatment, and serum creatinine contents of experimental group (153.69 ±13.78)μmol/L was lower than that of control group (179.19 ±23.49)μmol/L,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05);serum urea nitrogen contents of experimental group (7.09 ±1.16)mmol/L was lower than that of control group (9.29 ±2.38)mmol/L,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05);urine protein contents of experimental group (0.57 ± 0.32)g/L was lower than that of control group (0.89 ±0.26)g/L,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);clinical curative effect of experimental group was better than that of control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05 ).Conclusion Valsartan combined with Huangkui capsule could effectively reduce albuminuria symptomsin the treatment of patients with chronic glomerulonephritis proteinuria,which has a remarkable effect,and has a positive significance for the renal function recovery.

Objective To observe the changes of red blood cell distribution width, mean platelet volume and cardiac troponin I in patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes, and to evaluate the value for early diagnosis by using ROC curve. Methods 191 patients with ACS and 206 patients with the chest pain syndromes non-ACS were selected in this study. Electrocardiogram,blood routine,creatinine, LDL-C and cardiac troponin I were determined within six hours after hospitalized,meanwhile the feature of ROC curves was observed. Results There was no significant difference between ACS group and non-ACS group about red blood cell, hemoglobin, platelet,creatinine and LDL-C［(3.82±0.57)×1012/L,(101.3±3.3)g/L,195（98.6-334.8）×109/L,69（45-120）μmol/L,(2.95±0.85)mg/dl vs (3.89±0.50）×1012/L,(103.5±3.7)g/L,201（135.2-346.9）×109/L,71（49-100）μmol/L,(2.82±0.75)mg/dL］ (P＞ 0. 05). Red blood cell distribution width, mean platelet volume and the cardiac troponin I in ACS group［13.70(12.00-15.20)%,9.4（7.42-12.31）fL,(5.63±1.39)μg/L］ were significantly higher than that of non-ACS group［12.60（11.20-13.83）%,8.2（6.24-10.97）fL,(0.04.±0.01)μg/L］ (P＜0.01) .The area under ROC curves of red blood cell distribution width,mean platelet volume and cardiac troponin I were 73.5%, 78.8%, 98.1% respectively, while the best cut-off value was 13.15%, 12.45 fL, 0.06 μg/L respectively. Conclusions The combination using of red blood cell distribution width andmean platelet volume and cardiac troponin I and other conventional cardiac markers might be served as early diagnosis marker for the ACS patients admitted to emergency departments.

Objective To explore the characteristics of clinic and epidemiology of neonatal respiratory syncytial virus(RSV) pneumonia in newborn infants.Methods Three hundred and nine neonates(male 196,female 113) who were admitted to children's hospital of Fudan University and identified as having RSV pneumonia from Jan.2004 to Dec.2008 were enrolled.RSV antigen was detected in exfoliated respiratory cells by direct immunofluorescence.All the clinical data were collected and subjects and they were divided into different groups based on path of infection,gestational age and RSV status.Results From case notes over the 5 years,309 eligible neonates with RSV infection were identified.Male term neonates were more likely to acquire infection,as compared to female,1.71.0.The incidence of RSV infection peaked in winter and spring.Compared with community acquired infection group,hospital acquired infection group had more premature infants(23.2% vs 8.7%,P=0.002),lower birth weight[(3 010.8?852.8) g vs(3 153.2?943.4) g,P=0.026],much longer mean length of hospital stay[(19.0?8.0) d vs(12.2?4.5) d,P=0],more expensive cost[(5 646.4?3632.2) RMB vs(4 175.8?2 879.2) RMB,P=0] and later occurrence day[(21.3?8.6) d vs(15.8?6.0) d,P=0].Compared with simple RSV infection group,mixed infection group had more expensive cost[(6 063.1?3 085.4) RMB vs(4 513.2?3 860.8) RMB,P=0.047] and more oxygen use(40.0% vs 25.7%,P=0.006).The clinical characteristics of patients with RSV pneumonia varied.Preterm group compared with term group more frequently exhibited apnea and cyanosis(20.0% vs 0.7%,42.9% vs 22.7%),respectively.Forty-two percent of them had bacterial infection,while 13.3% of them had infection of other part of body.The prognosis of most RSV(99.0%) infections was good.Conclusions RSV was an important cause of respiratory tract infections during the last five years.Clinical characteristics of RSV infections were atypical.Hospital acquired RSV infection was more severe than the community acquired infection in neonates.There are no specific,effective interventions for treating RSV infections,so preventive measures are most important.

Through the investigation of Phellodendron Cortex on the market, and 28 batches of samples were collected. By using spectrophotometer the color values of outer surface, inner surface and cross - section of these samples were measured. These measured color data was translated into 3D structure diagram by using the Lab color space tool. The level difference value, the mean value and the threshold value were calculated based the measured color data of these different batches of samples. All 28 groups measured data was analyzed using the methods of Ward linkage and average Euclidean distance. At the same time, we invited Professor Jin Shiyuan, the "Chinese medicine master", to identify, quality-evaluate and grade these 28 batches of Phellodendron Cortex samples base on the traditional experience, then compared the traditional empirical results with the spectrophotometer measurement results. The result showed that, the Phellodendron Cortex could be divided into Phellodendri Amurensis Cortex and Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex by color numerical clustering, and classified according to quality. The classification result has a high degree of consistency with the traditional experience.

Objective To study the clinical value of percutaneous dilational tracheostomy(PDT) in the critical patients. Methods 56 critical patients who needed mechanical ventilation hospitalized in ICU were enrolled and divided into two groups: PDT group ,25 cases and 0T groups ,31 cases. The length of incision wound, duration of operation, amount of haemorrhage, complications were observed. Results The operation time was significantly shortened [(9.9±3.4)minutes vs (27.2 ±5.1)minutes],blood loss was significantly decreased[(5.2±2.2)ml vs (18.2±3. 5)ml] ,size of operation incision was significantly shorter[(15.0 ± 1. 6)mm vs (41.2 ±3.9)mm],lacking oxygen time was significantly shorter [(10.2±2.1) seconds vs (31.1 ±6.2) seconds] in PDT group compared with OT group (all P＜0. 01). PDT had less subcutaneous emphysema and incision bleeding in PDT group than those in OT group (all P＜0.05). Conclusion PDT was easier in performance with less complication,and was deserved to apply in critical patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of nesfatin-1 (NSF-1) on T-type Ca2+ channel currents in adult mouse dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons and possible signal transduction mechanisms involved.Methods We measured the expression of melanocortin 4 receptors(MC4-R)in mouse DRG by using western blotting analysis.The whole-cell patch clamp technique was used to record the effects of NSF 1 on T-type Ca2+ channel currents in small DRG neurons and several ligands were experimented to further clarify relevant signaling pathways.Results MC4-Rs were abundantly expressed in DRG neurons.NSF-1 enhanced T-type calcium channel currents in a dose-dependent manner in small DRG neurons in mice.NSF-1 mediated increment of T-type calcium channel currents was blocked by the MC4-R antagonist HS024,phosphokinase C antagonists GF109203X,and chelerythrine chloride,while the blockade of phospohokinase A PKI 6-22 elicited no such effects.Conclusions NSF-1 can enhance T type calcium channel currents in small DRG neurons through an MC4-R-dependent PKC signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVE To provide current tendency of viral transmission by test-negative blood components changing among blood donors and to improve the safety of blood for transfusion.METHODS The test data of 1 608 816 blood donors in Beijing Red Cross Blood Center from 2001 to 2008 were analyzed.RESULTS Before voluntary blood donation,the positive rate of anti-HCV was 0.16%,that of anti-HIV was 0.005% and that of anti-TP was 0.15%.After voluntary blood donation,positive rate of these components increased,there were 0.45%,0.017% and 0.48%,respectively,but the positive rate of HBsAg and ALT was decreased.After voluntary blood donation,the positive rate of HBsAg,anti-HCV,anti-HIV and anti-TP were elevated,that of ALT was decreased in greatly.CONCLUSIONS As the increasing risk of viral transmission disease,it is more important for blood safety to screen volunteer blood donors.
