Objective To observe the cardioprotective effects of hyperoxia liquid by comparing the changes of blood concentrations of malondialdehyde(MDA)and super oxide dismutase(SOD)in mechanical heart valve replacement.Methods Thirty patients required mechanical heart valve replacement were randomly divided into hyperoxia liquid group(Group HL) and control group 15 cases in each.From the start of skin incision(T_(0)) to(10min) after CPB,patients received 10mL/kg Ringer's injection(control group) and 10mL/kg hyperoxia liquid(Group HL) seperately.The central venous blood samples,which were collected in both groups respectively at skin incision(T_(0)),1h after start of CPB(T_1),2h(T_2) and 24h(T_3) after aorta off-clamping,were used to test the blood concentrations of SOD and MDA.Also a series of clinical data were recorded,such as the rate of heart automatic rebeat after aorta off-clamping,ventricular arrhythmia,usage of dopamine in operation and postoperation.(Results)In both groups,the blood concentrations of MDA and SOD were all within normal range before operation.MDA level at T_(2) was lower in Group HL than that in control(P

Dry eye is one of the most frequently ocular surface diseases. Recent researches found that many reasons caused decrease of ocular surface damage and the quality of tears , such as the change of ocular surface, immuno-inflammatory responses, apoptosis and the reduction of sex hormone. It is reported that the decline of ovarian function and hormone level in postmenopausal women which leads to abnormal structure and function of tear film is more likely to develop dry eye. In this paper, the ocular surface, pathogenesis and progresses of treatment on postmenopausal women with dry eye are reviewed.

Objective To study the efficacy and adverse reactions of the treatment on different types of infantile hemangiomas (IH) with different doses of propranolol .Methods One hundred and fifty cases of IH without contraindications were randomly treated with different doses of propranolol (low dose group:1 mg?kg -1 ?d-1 ;high dose group:2 mg?kg -1 ?d-1 ) under ECG monitoring inferior half an hour to breastfeeding taking ,and stay in hospital for observation for 6 to 24 hours after the treatment . The patients returned to the hospital for review every month(ECG and blood RT ;lung function in necessary) .Results The curative effect is better on strawberry IH than that on flat IH ,also better on deeply IH than that on superficial IH .The adverse reactions oc‐curred relatively slight in the low dose group and there was no significantly statistical differences on the treatment effects between the both groups(P>0 .05) .Conclusion It is safe and effective to treat IH with propranolol .

As a crucial technique for proteome analysis, mass spectrometry (MS) has developed rapidly in the last two decades. MS has established itself as a powerful tool in life science by its high sensitivity, resolution, mass accuracy and the ability to be coupled with chromatogram and isotope labeling. This review discusses the principles and instrumentation developments of MS, especially focuses on the applications of MS in proteomic studies.

Psoriasis is a non-infectious chronic inflammatory skin disease. It′s acknowledged that interleukin (IL)-17 signaling pathway dominantly drives the development of psoriasis. Recently, the role of neuro-immune axis in psoriasis has attracted widespread attention. Lidocaine, a local anesthetic, has ability to block the conduction of nerve impulses, while its therapeutic efficacy on psoriasis remains to be confirmed. Here, we evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of topical application of compound lidocaine cream (LIDO) on imiquimod (IMQ)-induced mouse psoriasis model. Animal welfare and experimental procedures follow the regulations of the Ethics Committee of China Pharmaceutical University. The psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) scoring was used to evaluate the severity of psoriasis-like symptoms. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to examine histopathological changes and epidermal thickness was measured. Ki67 immunofluorescence staining was used to evaluate the proliferation of keratinocytes. The relative mRNA expression of inflammatory cytokines (including Il17, Il22, Il23 and Il36) in skin was measured by real-time quantitative PCR. Results show that IMQ-induced increases in the PASI score, epidermal thickness, number of Ki67⁺ cells and the mRNA expression of inflammatory cytokines are significantly alleviated by topical application of LIDO, whose therapeutic efficacy is also better than that of the positive control drug calcipotriol. Our study suggests that LIDO could be used for psoriasis treatment.

OBJECTIVETo compare the clinical efficacy difference between electroacupuncture (EA) at qijie area combined with spine balance-regulating massage and medication for posterior circulation ischemia (PCI).

METHODSOne hundred cases of PCI were randomly divided into a treatment group (50 cases) and a medication group (50 cases). The treatment group was treated with EA at Baihui (GV 20), Sishencong (EX-HN 1), Fengchi (GB 20), Shenshu (BL 23), Danzhong (CV 17), etc. in qijie area combined with spine muscle-relieving massage and comprehensive chiropractic. The medication group was treated with oral administration of nimodipine (30 mg per time, three treatments per day) and vinpocetine injection with 500 mL of glucose injection or intravenous drip of 500 mL 0.9% sodium chloride injection, once a day. Ten treatments were taken as one course in both groups, and two courses were given. The symptom score, mean resistance index (RI) of vertebral artery (VA) and basilar artery (BA), mean velocity of blood flow (Vm) and comprehensive clinical efficacy were compared before and after treatment in two groups.

RESULTSThe cured and markedly effective rate was 79.6% (39/49) in the treatment group, which was superior to 54.7% (23/42) in the medication group (P<0.05). The symptom score was both significantly improved after treatment in two groups (both P<0.05), which was more obvious in the treatment group (P<0.05). The RI of VA and BA, Vm of VA and BA were significantly improved after treatment in two groups (all P<0.05), which were more obvious in the treatment group (all P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe electroacupuncture combined with spine balance-regulating massage has superior effect on improving mean velocity of blood flow and resistance index of vertebral artery and basilar artery as well as symptom score to medication, and is believed to be a safe and effective treatment for posterior circulation ischemia.

Survivin gene is the strongest inhibitor of apoptosis so far.Recently,it was found that the promoter polymorphism of survivin gene is closely related to risk of cancer and genetic susceptibility.This finding might provide clues for further elucidation of the correlation of risk of cancer and genetic polymorphism,and for diagnosis,prevention and screening of cancer gene.
