Objective To evaluate the effect of combined multiple interventional methods in treatment of acute deep venous thrombi (DVT) in lower extremities caused by military training. Meth-ods All 25 patients with DVT were treated with embolectomy by using Fogarty catheter. Of all, three pa-tients were treated only with embolectomy, six underwent embolectomy plus percutaneous transluminal an-gioplasty (PTA), 11 received PTA plus ultrasound ablation and five were implanted with stent-grafts. The clinical results were analyzed retrospectively. Results Based on angiography during operation, the ob-structed iliofemoral vein received complete recanalization in 24 patients, with the perioperative luminal di-ameter ≥71%. Partial recanalization of the entrance of common iliac vein to inferior vena cava was failed in one patient. All 25 patients were followed up for an average 34 months after operation, which showed that 24 patients received satisfactory results with normal military training and that the other one with failed recanalization of vena iliaca still felt swelling pain in lower extremity after training. Conclusion Com-bined multiple interventional methods can remarkably improve the therapeutic effect for DVT caused by military training.

AIM To study the therapeutic effects of Neiyi Kangfu Tablets (Trionycis Carapax,Ostreae concha,Rhei Radix et Rhizoma,etc.) on adenomyosis and its possible mechanism of action.METHODS The mouse model for adenomyosis was set up by the pituitary allograft,and received the gavage of Neiyi Kangfu Tablets,Dan'e Fukang Decoction (Salviae miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma,Curcumae Rhizoma,Paeoniae Radix rubra,etc.) and gestrinone,respectively,for three months.Western blot,real-time PCR,IHC were used to measure the expression of GPER-Ras-STAT3 in ectopic endometrium and entopic endometrium.RESULTS High doses of Neiyi Kangfu Tablets could significantly lower GPER protein and gene expression;down-regulate the Ras and STAT3 protein expression;reduce the lesion severity score of ectopic tissue morphology.Its curative effect was better than Dan'e Fukang Decoction and gestrinone.CONCLUSION Neiyi Kangfu Tablets may control the development of ectopic lesions by inhibiting the GPER-Ras-STAT3 pathway activity and weakening the production of estrogen.

With the aging of the population, the incidence of cerebrovascular diseases has increased significantly. In Western medicine, statins, aspirin and antihypertensive drugs are often used to treat mild and moderate cerebrovascular stenosis. For severe cerebrovascular stenosis, interventional technique and drug therapy are often used. In the course of treatment, it is not rare to see the side effects such as hypersensitivity of western medicine and damage of liver function, and it is not rare to see the patients with poor effect of drug therapy alone or short-term restenosis after intravascular stent implantation. Professor Gao Li, in Department of Neurology, Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University, combined the modern medical theory of cerebral vascular stenosis with the theory of traditional Chinese medicine. According to the clinical manifestations, imaging and ultrasonic examination results of patients, cerebral vascular stenosis was divided into three syndrome types, such as phlegm obstruction and blood stasis type (mainly thickening of inner and middle membrane), qi stagnation and fire melting type (mainly plaque) and mixed type (both membrane thickening and plaque). The methods of invigorating spleen and removing dampness, clearing phlegm and removing blood stasis, soothing liver and relieving depression, clearing away heat and resolving phlegm, cooling blood and activating blood circulation, and the combination of two prescriptions were used for treatment of cerebral vascular stenosis, respectively. Meanwhile, the related Western medicine was added at the same time, which achieved better effect.

Objective Using the previously established mesenchymal stem cells strain derived from human fetal umbilical cord blood (FUCB-MSCs) to culture then label enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) , and to observe skin repair effects of FUCB-MSCs by GFP tracing after exogenous FUCB-MSCs transplantation on to scald wound models of SCID mice.Methods FUCB-MSCs were labeled GFP by transfection with the recombinant retrovirus containing EGFP gen;The established SCID scald mice model were randomLy divided into 3groups, low dose group, high dose group and control group, 6rats each group, 2wounds each mouse, 12wounds in total, then were tail intravenous injected into 0.2mL 1×106, 0.2mL 2×106 GFP-FUCB-MSCs cells, and same volume of medium respectively.On 9days after transplantation, the sections from scald wound area were observed the expression of GFP under the fluorescence microscope and the others were analyzed by the bright-field microscopy after HE staining, and the area of wound surface and the number of wound cells were compared simultaneously.Results After 48h, expression of EGFP in FUCB-MSCs can be seen under the fluorescence microscope, positive rate of GFP was>80％, and after 6weeks GFP expression is still stable, besides, the positive expression of human GFP can be observed after transplantation and there were no fluorescence decay in transplantation after 3weeks.Compared with the control group, there was a significant difference in wound area and wound cell number in the low and high-dose group (P<0.05) .ConclusionGFP can be used as a tracking marker to label FUCB-MSCs during transplantation treatment.It indicates that exogenous FUCB-MSCs can migrate to the scalded wounds via blood circulation system and continuously participate in the repair through SCID mouse.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics, prognosis, and risk factors for poor prognosis of neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE) .Methods:Patients who were diagnosed as NPSLE between January 2009 to January 2019 in Peking University First Hospital were included. Patients with neuro-psychiatric symptoms caused by other reasons such as infection and metabolic disorders were excluded. Patients were retrospectively followed up by telephone or medical records. Continuous variables were compared by student t test or Wilcoxon rank sum test. Quantitative variables were compared by chi-square test. Survival was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier curve. Predictive factors of prognosis was estimated by using Cox regression analysis. Results:One hundred and nine NPSLE patients were included. Thirteen (11.9%) were male and 96 (88.1%) were female with a median age of 33 years old. Central nervous system involvement was predominant (89/109, 81.7%) . The most common types were headache, cerebrovascular disease and epilepsy. Cranial neuropathy was the most common type at the initial onset of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) , while cerebrovascular disease was more common when SLE relapsed. Patients who demonstrated NPSLE at the initiation of SLE had shorter survival time than those who got NPSLE when SLE relapsed [ (32±26) months vs (197±79) months, t=2.834, P=0.037]. Among the 105 patients with complete followed up data, the follow up time was 118.0 (1.4, 525.7) months and 53.1 (0.4, 363.0) months from the onset of SLE and NPSLE, respectively. The mortality rate was 14.3% (15/105) . The survival rates of 1-5 years were 96.2%, 94.3%, 91.0%, 89.9% and 88.3%, respectively. The survival time was (180±138) months and (33±32) months, t=3.861 , P<0.01) from the onset of SLE and NPSLE, respectively. The major causes of death were infection, NSPLE and cardiovascular disease. Cerebrovascular disease was the independent risk factor for death [ RR=3.413, 95% CI (1.049, 11.102) , P=0.041]. Conclusion:Cranial neuropathy is the most common type at the initial onset of SLE, while cerebrovascular disease is more common when SLE relapsed. Patients who had NPSLE at the initiation of SLE have shorter survival time than those who got NPSLE when SLE relapsed. Cerebrovascular disease is the independent risk factor of death of NPSLE patients.

Primary hyperparathyroidism is a disease with a large potential population. Some cases of primary hyperparathyroidism are non-primary, preventable and curable at early stage, requiring long-term follow-up after surgery. Therefore, all-round and full-cycle management are necessary for primary hyperparathyroidism, which involves an enhancing focus on etiological prevention, early detection, prompt diagnosis, timely intervention, multi-disciplinary standardized diagnosis and treatment, and postoperative scientific management. Meanwhile, implementing a "12+5+1" multidisciplinary joint diagnosis and treatment model, along with a two-way referral model, to achieve the transition from a disease-oriented diagnostic and treatment model to a patient-oriented, all-round and full-cycle interdisciplinary management model. This management can reduce the incidence and recurrence rate of primary hyperparathyroidism, and related osteoporosis or osteopenia, fractures, nephrolithiasis, metastatic vascular calcification, and systemic abnormal migratory calcium deposits, improve the overall quality of life and prognosis of patients.

This study examined the incidence, neuropsychological characteristics and risk factors of cognitive impairment 3 months after stroke in China. Five regions that differed in geography and economy in China were selected. Patients from the hospitals located in the five regions were prescreened at admission, and the demographic data, vascular risk factors and clinical characteristics of stroke were obtained. A battery of cognitive-specific domain tests was performed in the patients who failed to pass cognitive screening 3 months post stroke. Patients were diagnosed as having post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) or no cognitive impairment (NCI) based on the results of the neuropsychological tests. Univariate analysis was performed for suspect risk factors, and significant variables were entered in multivariable logistic regression analysis. Our results showed that a total of 633 patients were recruited 3 months after stroke; complete cognitive tests were performed in 577 of the stroke patients. The incidence of PSCI in these Chinese patients was 30.7%. There were 129 (22.4%) patients with visuospatial impairment, 67 (11.6%) with executive impairment, 60 (10.4%) with memory impairment and 18 (3.1%) with attention impairment. The risk factors associated with PSCI were older age (odds ratio [OR] 1.76, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.20-2.58), low education level (OR 2.45, 95% CI 1.65-3.64), depressive symptom (OR 1.69, 95% CI 1.09-2.61), obesity (OR 2.57, 95% CI 1.41-4.71), stroke severity 3 months post stroke (OR 1.62, 95%CI 1.10-2.37) and cortex lesion (OR 1.55, 95% CI 1.04-2.31). It was concluded that PSCI occurs commonly 3 months after first-ever stroke in Chinese patients. Visuospatial ability may be the most frequently impaired cognitive domain for the patients with stroke. The critical risk factors of PSCI are older age, low education level, depressive symptom, obesity, stroke severity 3 months post stroke and cortex lesion.
