ObjectiveTo evaluate the effects of intense pulse light (OPT) on the facial pore widening of different parts.MethodsThirty six women with widened pores were enrolled,and treated by OPT for 6 times.All the cases were taken photos before and after treatment.The pores of cheek,nasal ala and nasal tip were graded by using the photographic scale,and the improvement after treatment compared with that before.ResultsThe cheek,nasal ala and nasal tip pores evidently diminished (P＜0.01).The improvement rate of cheek pores was higher than that of nasal ala and nasal tip (P＜0.01),but that between the latter two was not different (P＞0.05)).ConclusionsThe cheek pore widening diminishes more significantly than nasal ala and nasal tip treated with OPT.

AIM: To evaluate the ability of spectral domain optic coherence tomography ( SD-OCT ) parameters to detect progressive structural damage in primary open angle glaucoma ( POAG) by contrasting with visual field. ·METHODS: Retrospectively we evaluated 48 subjects (48 eyes ) of POAG, followed up 14 to 62mo. The parameters of SD-OCT and visual field were obtained. The correlation between the change of visual field measurements and OCT measurements were analyzed. Visual field progression was defined as reproducible drop of at least 2dB of mean deviation (MD) from the baseline visit. ROC curve was made to evaluated the ability of OCT parameters in detect progression of POAG. ·RESULTS: The 25 eyes were classified in progression group and 23 eyes were in non-progression group. No significant correlation was seen between OCT parameters and visual field in non-progression group. In progression group, OCT parameters which were significantly correlated with MD reduce were rim volume ( r=-0. 5997, P=0. 0007), C/D vertical ratio (r=-0. 6309, P=0. 0003), RNFL(r= 0. 4201, P= 0. 0260), and GCC(r= 0. 7080,P<0. 01). ROC curves showed the GCC reflected the reduce of MD accurately (P=0. 013). ·CONCLUSION: Part parameters of SD-OCT can reflect the progression of POAG accurately and provided a new method to detect the damage of visual function of POAG.

Objective To assess the safety and efficacy of domestic sirolimus-eluting stent(SES)compared with bare metal stent(BMS)in the primary percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)for patients with ST-segment elevation AMI in a real-world scenario.Method From January 2005 to March 2006,a total of 143 patient with ST-segment elevation AMI were enrolled in this study,and all of them underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Among the 143 patients,74 were treated with domestic SESs(Firebird stent)and 69 with BMSs.The incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE:death,reinfarction,and target vessel revascularization[TVR])was evaluated at 30 days and 180 days.Continuous variables were compared using Student's unpaired t test.Categorical variables were compared using Fisher's test.Cox proportional hazard survival models were used to assess risk reduction of adverse events.P value

Objective: To understand the effect of dobutamine on the integrated backscatter of myocardium. Methods: Nineteen open-chest dogs were detected by HP Sonos 5500 with S8 transducer, and the WT, AIBS and CVIB were measured before and after the dobutamine stress. Results: During the dobutamine stress, following the increase of WT, the transmural, subepicardial and subendocardial CVIB all increased. And the increase of subepicardial CVIB was greater than that of subendocardial CVIB, leading to the decrease of TGI. But the AIBS didn't change significantly in the whole process. Conclusion: Dobutamine can enhance myocardium CVIB but has no obvious infleunce on AIBS.

Salvia miltorrhiza Bge is a medicinal herb in traditional Chinese medicines. Until recently, dozens of compound ingredients with medicinal properties have been identified from S. miltorrhiza. Proteome analysis on medicinal ingredients synthesis mechanisms could provide a theoretical basis for S. miltorrhiza genetic improve-ment. In this study, a S. miltorrhiza specific protein/peptide sequence database was constructed using Illumina high-throughput transcriptome sequencing data of multiple types of S. miltorrhiza tissues. The database could act as a key component to carry out the proteome analysis in S. miltorrhiza.

There were significant increase in urine protein excretion,raised malondialdehyde(MDA) level and expressions of NF-?B,p22phox and p47phox in renal tissue,and significant decrease in reduced glutathione,superoxide dismutase,vitamin C and E levels in type 2 diabetic Goto-Kakisaki rats after 12 weeks. There was obvious histomorphologic change in the kidneys.All the above indices were improved by intraperitoneal injection of?-lipoic acid(35 mg/kg q.o.d).Besides,significant positive correlations were found of MDA level to p22phox,p47phox and NF-?B in the renal tissue,?-lipoic acid seems to protect the diabetic kidney in this diabetic rat model via antioxidative effects.
