Objective To explore the relationship among HBV DNA load, HBeAg/Anti-HBe and ALT in patients with chronic hepatitis B infection. Methods HBV markers in 134 patients with chronic HBV infection were detected by ELISA,and patients were divided into group Ⅰ (HBeAg +/Anti-HBe-,43 patients) ,group Ⅱ (HBeAg-/Anti-HBe + ,69 patients)and group Ⅲ (HBeAg-/Anti-Hbe-,22 patients)according to the results of presence of HBeAg/Anti-HBe. HBV DNA load and ALT were tested respectively by fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction technology and successive monitor reaction. Results Both the positive rate and the HBV DNA load quantification in group Ⅰ were higher than in group Ⅱ and Ⅲ (P＜0.01). Abnormality rate of ALT in HBV DNA positive patients was higher than the patients with HBV DNA negitive(P＜0.01). There was no relationship between HBV DNA load and ALT in HBV DNA positive patients. Conclusion There was a certain corelation among HBV DNA load, HBeAg/Anti-HBe and ALT,but the active degree of HBV replication could not to be assessed by HBeAg/Anti-HBe or ALT alone. It was necessary for the padient with chronic HBV infection to examine them together.

Objective To observe the effects of aerobic exercise on the plasma content of homocysteine (Hcy),total nitric oxide synthase(T-NOS) and nitric oxide (NO) in rats fed a high methionine diet. Methods A total of 24 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into a normal diet(CR)group,a high methionine diet(MR) group and a high methionine diet plus swimming group(T+MR),and treated accordingly for 8 weeks.At the end of the treatment,all the animals were tested for plasma T-NOS,NO and homocysteine levels.Results Plasma homo-cysteine doubled,whereas T-NOS and NO levels in the MR group decreased significantly as compared with the CR group,suggesting that hyperhomocysteinemia was induced by the high methionine diet.Plasma homocysteine content decreased significantly in the T+CR group,but plasma T-NOS and NO increased significantly compared with the MR group.These indicators were not significantly different for the T+MR group from those of the CR group. Conclu-sion Adequate aerobic exercise can decrease the plasma level of homocysteine in rats fed a high methionine diet,and increase the plasma level of T-NOS and NO,helping prevent the development of hyperhomocysteinemia.

Objective To investigate the effects of nasal tip reduction with inner incision combined with external fixation,namely,to evaluate the formation of bilateral alar groove which is en hanced by external fixation with small splints,after removing interdomal fat pad as well as adjusting alar cartilage to reduce nasal tip.Methods Alar cartilage and interdomal fat pad were exposed via the bilateral nasal vestibular incision to remove fat pad and part of enlarged lateral foot of alar cartilage.After suture of incision,based on the tissue removal,plastic splint was used for external fixation of bilateral nasal tip and alar groove for one week,to enhance the formation of alar groove.Results A total of 143 patients were followed up for more than 6 months after operation.Photographs taken before and after operation were compared,suggesting obviously smaller nasal tip and significant alar groove.Left and right alar groove space was decreased from preoperative (28.23±3.31) mm to post operative (23.72±2.65) mm,and nasal tip alar angle was decreased from (104.02±9.57)°to (87.78± 6.98)°,with statistical significance (P＜0.05).Slightly asymmetric nasal alars were found in 6 patients during follow-up examination,while tiny scars caused by splints (at 0.6 cm from the edge of splints) were found in 1 patient.Conclusions On the basis of nasal tip reduction with inner incision,the method of suture with small splints combined with external fixation is simple,effective and available.

Objective To investigate whether transplantation of embryonic stem cell-derived cardiac myocytes (ESCMs) directly into the infarcted myocardium could improve the cardiac function in the rats.Methods Cell culture medium with or without ESCMs was injected into the borders of car- diac scar tissue one week after experimental infarction.Cardiac performance was evaluated 4 weeks later by means of echocardiography after ESCMs (n=16) or medium (n=12) injection.Results Im- munostaining confirmed the presence of?-actinin,?-MHC,and cTnI in the beating EBs.RT-PCR analysis of EBs revealed the expression of cardiac-specific genes,including cardiac Nkx 2.5,GATA-4 and?-MHC.ESCMs implantation significantly improved fractional shortening compared with medium- treated hearts (P

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effect of compositive treatment on cerebral palsy children with rapid acupoint acupuncture at passive position.Methods37 children were treated with compositive treatment including acupoint acupuncture and physical training.Other 21 who treated with medicine were included as control.Results3 cases were cured and 33 cases were markedly effective in treatment group,which was better than that of control(P<0.05).ConclusionThe therapy composed of rapid acupoint acupuncture and physical training can significantly improve the function of children with cerebral palsy.

Objective To further elaborate the clinical characteristics,diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of primary cutaneous invasive epidermo-tropic CD8 positive cytotoxicity T-cell lymphoma.Methods The clinical characteristics,diagnosis and treatment of a patient with primary cutaneous invasive epidermotropic CD8 positive cytotoxicity T-cell lymphoma were summarized,and diagnosis and treatment of the disease from published literature were reviewed.Results After one year long,recurrence of exudative maculopapule on his body and limbs,a middle-aged male patient visited our hospital.Then,the patient was diagnosed as T2N0M0 Ⅰ phase of primary cutaneous invasive epidermo-tropic CD8 positive cytotoxicity T-cell lymphoma based on results of skin biopsy,immunohistochemistry,T-cell gene rearrangement and PET-CT.Through integrative medicine treatment (combination of bruceolic oil emulsion and chemotherapy with GDP regimen),the patient achieved complete remission (CR).The treatment and follow-up continues till now and his condition was stable.Conclusions Clinical occurrence of primary cutaneous invasive epidermo-tropic CD8 positive cytotoxicity T-cell lymphoma is rare and early diagnosis is difficult.It could be diagnosed with histopathology combined with T-cell gene rearrangement.In order to avoid misdiagnosis,great caution should be taken during disease history inquiry and physical examination,should be early lesion for delayed healing of recurrent lesions,biopsy should be conducted as soon as possible and immunohistochemistry should be performed simultaneously,which will provide a good basis for further treatment.

Objective:To discuss the effect of amlodipine combined with atorvastatin in the treatment of elderly patients with acute cerebral infarction hypertension. Methods:Totally 86 cases with acute cerebral infarction hypertension were randomly divided into the treatment group (43 cases) and the control group (43 cases). The control group received amlodipine 5mg, po, qd, and the treatment group was given atorvastatin 20mg additionally, po, qd. After the one-month treatment, the efficacy of the two groups was studied and compared, and the changes in neural function defect scale, blood pressure, blood lipids and CRP were also investigated. Results:Af-ter the treatment, the total effective rate and the total effective rate of antihypertensive effect in the treatment group were both signifi-cantly higher than those in the control group (P<0. 05). The neurological deficit scores of the two groups were significantly higher than those before the treatment (P<0. 05), and those of the observation group was significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0. 05). The blood pressure of the two groups was both decreased after the treatment(P<0. 05), and the decrease in the treat-ment group was more significant (P<0. 05). TC, TG, LDL-C and CRP levels of the two groups had significant decrease after the treatment (P>0. 05), and those in the treatment group was significant lower than those in the control group (P<0. 05). Conclu-sion:Amlodipine combined atorvastatin in the treatment of elderly patients with acute cerebral infarction hypertension shows significant effect with low incidence of adverse drug reaction, which is worthy of wider application.
