ObjectiveTo observe the effect of treatment on post-stroke hiccup by Point Injection.Methods80 cases were divided 2 groups randomly, 40 cases were taken the acupuncture treatment with the point injection; 40 cases were taken the Anisodamine Hydrobromide injection.ResultsThe total effective rate was 97.5% in therapy of treatment and 65% in therapy of control.ConclusionThe therapy of acupuncture with the point injection is superior in the treatment of post-stroke hiccup.

Objective: To extract the mung bean trypsin inhibitor (MBTI) from mung bean and to study the inhibitory activity of MBTI against proprotein convertases (PCs). Methods: MBTI was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation, sequential chromatography of gel filtration, ion exchange, affinity chromatography and HPLC. The high expression strains of 2 PCs, Kexin and Furin, were selected. Kexin and Furin were purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation and gel filtration. The inhibitory activity of MBTI against Kexin and Furin was assayed and the inhibitory constants (Ki) of MBTI against the 2 PCs were calculated by Dixon's plot. Results: The purified MBTI showed a single peak on HPLC and a single band on SDS-PAGE. The inhibitory activity of MBTI against Kexin (Ki = 3.9 × 10-9 mol/L) was stronger than that against Furin. Conclusion: MBTI can inhibit both Kexin and Furin, especially Kexin, and also can be an ideal inhibitor against PCs after further modification.

This article summarized two medical cases of Professor SHI Da-zhuo treating acute myocardial infarction by Yiqi Huoxue Tuodu Shengji TCM therapy on the basis of conventional Western medicine therapy. Comparison of echocardiography before and after treatment showed that Yiqi Huoxue Tuodu Shengji TCM combined with conventional Western medicine therapy could inhibit the expansion of atrium and ventricle, improve the cardiac ejection fraction and improve the cardiac function after acute myocardial infarction, which could provide references for integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapy for acute myocardial infarction.

Controlling serum phosphorus levels is critical in patients with renal failure. Currently phosphate-binding agents are widely used to reduce phosphate absorption in patients with endstage renal disease. If possible,serum phosphorus level should be reduced without disturbing calcium homeostasis or increasing accumulation of potentially toxic elements. Aluminum hydroxide and traditional calcium -based phosphate binders are commonly used to control serum phosphorus level. Aluminum hydroxide can effectively lower serum phosphorus level,but aluminum can accumulates in the body and results in toxic effect. Traditional calcium-based phosphate binders tend to promote hypercalcemia and calcium overloading,and accelerate cardiovascular calcification. Therefore aluminum -free and calcium-free phosphate-binding agents have become the focus of study; however,agents like sevelamer hydrochloride and lanthanum carbonate are not widely used due to high price,although they are effective in controlling serum phosphorus level. New generation of phosphate binders,such as colestilan,nicotinic acid and magnesium salt,are cheaper than their previous counterparts,but their long -term effect still needs to be observed. This article summarizes the progress of non-calcium phosphate binders in treatment of end-stage renal diseases,hoping to help clinical drug usage.

ObjectiveTo study the value of plasma corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and the fetal fibronectin (fFN) in vaginal secretions and cervical length in predicting preterm labor.MethodsThe plasma CRH levels and fFN levels in vaginal secretions from 24 -37 weeks pregnant woman checked up in our hospital from Dec.2009 to Dec.2010 were detected by ELLISA method.The changes of these three indexes were observed with the pregnant time and were analyzed according to different pregnancy outcomes.Results Among the 112 cases of pregnant women,premature delivery in 54 cases,full-term birth 58 cases.At the 24 week of pregnancy,there were significant difference on the cervical length( [2.8 ±0.4]cm vs [3.3 ±0.5]cm,t =3.254,P =0.021 ) between premature delivery group and full-term birth group.At the 28 - 30 week,31 -32 week,33 - 34 week,35 - 36 week,the CRH were ( 162.33 ± 16.49 ) ng/L,(60.01:±: 14.56) ng/L;(352.12 ±61.01 )ng/L,( 118.04 ±53.74)ng/L; (364.55 ±56.71 )ng/L,( 122.95 ±71.41 )ng/L; (372.78 ±149.89)ng/L,(124.00 ± 19.05 )ng/L respectively in premature delivery group and full-term birth group,and there were significant differences on CRH at the four different pregnant time(t =3.687,6.875,8.652,8.524,respectively,P ＜ 0.05 ).It shows better sensitivity ( 97.92％ ),specificity ( 90.00％ ),positive predictive value(95.92％ ) and negative predictive value(94.73％ ) in predicting premature delivery by detection of CRH,fFN combined with cervical length.ConclusionDetection of plasma CRH,fFN combined with cervix length measurement can improve the predictability of premature and provide a good,reliable clinical basis for the early diagnosis and treatment for preterm premature.

Objective To explore the effects of passive smoking on vascular endothelial function in office women.Methods Totally,94 healthy office women volunteers from urban(36 women)and townships or towns(58 women)were divided into three groups based on the extent of their daily exposure to passive smoking,group A exposed to one to eight cigarettes,group B exposed to nine to 15 cigarettes,and group C exposed to more than 15 cigarettes,respectively,with 20 healthy young women without exposure to passive smoking as controls.Internal diameter of the brachial artery Was measured by color Doppler ultrasound scanning for each of the participants and its changes were observed before and after congestive reaction of the brachial artery test and nitroglycerin test.Results Thirteen of 36 office women from urban and 38 of 58 from townships or towns exposed to passive smoking of more than eight cigarettes daily,with chi-square of 7.74,P=0.0054.The brachial artery in groups A,B and C dilated less than that in the controls did.The brachial artery in group C dilated less than that in the groups A and B did.Conclusion Passive smoking could damage vascular endothelial dilatation function in office women.
