OBJECTIVETo observe the distribution of constitution types of Chinese medicine (CM) in patients with osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH).
METHODSTotally 130 ONFH patients were recruited. Constitution types of CM were identified in all patients. Distribution features of constitution types of CM in ONFH patients were observed. The differences of distribution in gender, age, single or bilateral hips, course of disease, staging, cause, and region were also analyzed.
RESULTSSeventy patients were of complicated constitutions, while 60 patients were of single constitution. Among the 60 single constitution cases, yang-deficiency constitution [18 (13.9%)], damp-heat constitution [10 (7.7%)], blood-stasis constitution [7 (5.4%)], and qi-deficiency constitution [7 (5.4%)] were mainly distributed. Of the complicated constitutions, yang-deficiency dominated constitution occupied the top ratio [30 (23.1%)], followed by blood-stasis dominated constitution [15 (11.5%)], damp-heat dominated constitution [9 (6.9%)]. By putting them together, yang-deficiency constitution occupied the top constitution of CM [48 (36.9%)], followed by blood-stasis constitution [ 22 (16.9%)] and damp-heat constitution [19 (14.6%)]. The aforesaid three constitutions accounted for 68.5% of the total. There were no statistical distribution differences in gender, age, single or bilateral hips, course of disease, staging, or cause.
CONCLUSIONYang-deficiency constitution, damp-heat constitution, and blood-stasis constitution were liable constitutions of CM in ONFH patients.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) in patients with pulmonary oligometastases.Methods:Clinical data of patients with pulmonary metastases treated with SABR from 2011 to 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The local control rate (LCR) and overall survival (OS) were calculated by Kaplan- Meier method. log-rank test was used for univariate analysis and Cox’s regression model for multivariate analysis. Results:A total of 214 lung metastases were detected in 159 patients, and the median follow-up time was 43 months. The 1-, 3-and 5-year LCR were 90.1%, 73.9% and 65.8%, respectively. The 1-, 3-and 5-year OS were 73.8%, 43.6% and 11.9%, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that biological effective dose (BED)≥100 Gy was significantly correlated with LCR ( P=0.033). Cox’s multivariate analysis showed that BED and primary tumor source were the independent prognostic factors of LCR ( P=0.023, P=0.043). No>grade 3 adverse events were observed in all patients during treatment. Conclusions:SABR is a safe and effective treatment of lung oligometastases. SABR should be actively aD ministered for pulmonary oligometastases, especially for those with lesions from lung cancer and the radiation dose should be selected as BED ≥100 Gy.

The objective of this experimental study was to assess the effects of a new kind of drug eluting coronary stent. Fourteen mini-pigs were used; seven normal stainless stents and seven new drug eluting stents were implanted in their normal coronary arteries, respectively. Angiography was performed and followed by pressure-fixation of the coronary arteries for light and electron microscopic examinations at the end of three months after implantation. Repeated angiography showed that all the stented coronary segments were open. With no additional antithrombotic treatment, there was no thrombus formed in the stented coronary segments. Scanning electron microscopy analysis showed the implanted stent surface was covered by endomembrane without thrombus formation. The endothelial cell in the membrane was clear and lined by the direction of blood flow. Histomorphological analysis revealed the neointima in normal stainless stent group was thicker than that in new drug eluting stent group, and the neointima was composed of smooth muscle cell and extracellular matrix. The result of this study shows that this kind of stent could reduce the rate of the re-stenosis and occlusion of PTCA. This stent can be used in clinical trials.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate whether garlicin can prevent reperfusion no-reflow in a catheter-based porcine model of acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
METHODSTwenty-two male Chinese mini swines were randomized into 3 groups: sham-operation group (n=6), control group (n=8), and garlicin group (n=8). The distal part of left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) in swines of the latter two groups was completely occluded by dilated balloon for 2 h and a successful AMI model was confirmed by coronary angiography (CAG) and electrocardiograph (ECG), which was then reperfused for 3 h. In the sham-operation group, balloon was placed in LAD without dilatation. Garlicin at a dosage of 1.88 mg/kg was injected 10 min before LAD occlusion until reperfusion for 1 h in the garlicin group. To assess serial cardiac function, hemodynamic data were examined by catheter method before AMI, 2 h after occlusion and 1, 2, and 3 h after reperfusion. Myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) and double staining with Evans blue and thioflavin-S were performed to evaluate myocardial no-reflow area (NRA) and risk area (RA).
RESULTSLeft ventricular systolic pressure and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure significantly improved in the garlicin group after reperfusion compared with the control group P<0.05) and 2 h after AMI (P<0.05). MCE showed garlicin decreased reperfusion NRA after AMI compared with the control group (P <0.05). In double staining, NRA/RA in the garlicin group was 18.78%, significantly lower than that of the control group (49.84%, P<0.01).
CONCLUSIONSGarlicin has a preventive effect on the porcine model of myocardial infarction reperfusion no-reflow by improving hemodynamics and decreasing NRA.

OBJECTIVE:
To examine the serum levels of S100 calcium-binding protein A8/A9 complex (S100A8/ A9) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and to explore the relation between the serum levels of S100A8/A9 and the degree of coronary lesion.
METHODS:
A total of 126 patients with coronary heart disease were enrolled from Xiangya Hospital of Central South University between September 2010 and January 2011, which included 51 patients with unstable angina pectoris (UAP group, n=51), 50 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI group, n=50), and 25 patients with stable angina pectoris (SAP group, n=25). Twenty-five healthy volunteers were served as a normal control group (NC group, n=25). According to the coronary artery lesion area, ACS patients were also divided into a single-branch group, a double-branch group and a triple-branch group. Serum levels of S100A8/A9 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay on the day when the patients admitted to the hospital and on the day after one-week treatment (UAP group + AMI group). The serum levels were compared among the various branch groups. The short-term prognosis in patients with ACS was investigated by phone follow-up after 3 months.
RESULTS:
1) The S100A8/A9 level in the SAP group was significantly higher than that in the normal control group (P<0.05). The serum levels of S100A8/A9 in the UAP group and the AMI group were significantly higher than that in the SAP group (all P<0.05); There was no significant difference in the S100A8/A9 level between the UAP group and the AMI group (P>0.05); 2) After one-week standard treatment, the serum levels of S100A8/A9 in patients with ACS were significantly reduced compared with that at the admission (P<0.01), but it was still elevated compared with that in the normal control group (P<0.01); 3) The serum level of S100A8/A9 in the triple-branch group was significantly higher than that in the single-branch group and the double-branch group (both P<0.05); 4) The short-term prognosis in patients with ACS was not correlated with the serum level of S100A8/A9 (r=0.012, P> 0.05).
CONCLUSION
The serum level of S100A8/A9 is significantly elevated in patients with ACS, which might be positively correlated with the number of the coronary lesion branches.
