Objective To investigate the effect of plasma exchange (PE) in the treatment of chronic severe hepatitis. Methods 70 cases with chronic severe hepatitis were divided randomly into two groups:treatment group and control group. The treatment group combined with PE based on combined therapy of internal medicine, control group was only performed combined therapy of internal medicine. The therapeutic efficient rate was analyzed by con-trast after one month. Results The level of TBil,ALT,CHO,CHE,PTA,BUN and Cr of patients in treatment group improved more obviously than those in control group(P <0.05). The total effective rate was 62.86% in treatment group and was 31.43% in control group,and there were significant differences in two groups(P <0.05). The death rate was 11.42% in treatment group and was 31.42% in control group,there were significant differences in two groups (P < 0.05). Conclusion PE combined with therapy of internal medicine can obviously improve therapeutic efficient rate of chronic severe hepatitis,which is an safe and effective method.

Objective To evaluate the effect of kojic acid( KA) on the immune system of mice after exposure to gam-ma-irradiation.Methods Twenty male C57BL/6 mice were divided into normal group, irradiation group, low/high doses of KA pretreated groups.Mice in normal group did not receive any treatment,while mice in other groups were sc injected with a single dose of sterile distilled water or KA(75 and 300 mg/kg, respectively) 27 h prior to a sublethal dose(4 Gy, 138.54 and 140.30 cGy/min, respectively) of whole body gamma-irradiation.The injected volume was calculated by 0.2 ml/20 g.Forty mice were sacrificed at day 2 and day 8 post-irradiation, respectively.The splenic lymphocyte transformation and spleen and thymus indexes were determined.Histopathological sections were produced, and the morphological changes were also observed.Results The splenic lymphocyte transformation capacity and spleen and thymus indexes of mice pre-treated with 300 mg/kg elatve mass KA were increased significantly ( P<0.01) compared with the irradiation group.The morphological changes in the spleen and thymus of mice in 300 mg/kg KA pretreated group were better than in the irradia-tion group.The above parameters of mice in irradiation group were injured severely in comparison with the normal group. Conclusion Acute radiation can damage the immune system of mice obviously.KA can enhance the transformation capaci-ty of lymphocytes and has marked protective effect on the immune system of mice after irradiation.

This article reviewed the measures taken by the hospital against a catastrophic fire hazard and exploration in its response and work organization of nursing care of the wounded.Proposed in this paper are development of such five systems as the pre-plan,exercises,personnel,quality control and incentives,which are expected to improve the nursing capacity of the hospital in emergency rescue,for sustainable development of nursing emergency rescue work.

20?10~9/L. This regimen was given for one course for induction, and was followed by conventional chemotherapy as maintenance or consolidation when complete remission(CR) achieved, or succeeding with other treatment when no response could be observed. Results Six patients achieved CR (54.5%) and one achieved partial remission (PR)(9.1%) with one course of treatment. Among 6 of 11 patients with CR, 5 relapsed at 2,3,6,8 and 16 months respectively. Three relapsed patients were retreated with the same protocol but achieved only one partial responses. Nine of the 11 patients had been died and their mean survival (since induction chemotherapy) was 9.2 months. Infectious complications during cytopenia were less serious than conventional chemotherapy withno treatment-related.Conclusion This moderate intensity protocol with G-CSF priming is effective and safe but remissions are of short duration.

Objective To compare the efficiency and safety of aspirin-dipyridamole and warfarin in the prevention of thromboembolism in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation(NVAF)and high risk factors.Methods One hundred and forty NVAF patients with high risk factors were randomly divided into two groups.Warfarin group[78 cases international normalized ratio(INR)2.0-3.0,for the patients older than 75 years,INR ranging from 1.6 to 2.5]and combination group(62 cases received aspirin 160 mg once every day plus dipyridamole 160 mg 3 times every day).The incidence of death,thromboembolism(including stroke and peripheral arteries embolism)and hemorrhage events were observed.Results Followed-up 12-28 months.In warfarin group,3 cases lost,2 cages had stroke,2 cases suffered from serious bleeding events,6 cases had minor bleeding events.In combination group,2 cases lost,6 cases had stroke,and 2 cases suffered from peripheral arteries embolism events,3 cases had minor bleeding events,but no serious bleeding events occurred.The incidence of thromboembolism in warfarin group wag,lower than that in combination group[2.7%(2/75)vs 13.3%(8/60),P<0.05].There was no significant difference of the bleeding rate between the two groups[10.7%(8/75)vs 5.0%(3/60),P>0.05].Conclusions Warfarin anticoagulative therapy is more effective than aspirin and dipyridamole antiplatelet dual therapy for the prevention of thromboembolism events in patients with NVAF and high risk factors.The major bleeding events in warfarin group occurs in patients with INR>3.0,so under intensive monitoring(INR 2.0-3.0),warfarin therapy is effective and safety.

OBJECTIVE：To comp are cytotoxicity and anti-inflammatory effects of raw Aconitium kusnezoffii and A. kusnezoffii processed with Terminalia chebula . METHODS ：Using H 9c2 cardiomyocytes isolated from rat as subjects ，CCK-8 assay was used to detect the effects of 0.5，1，2，4，6，8，10 mg/mL raw A. kusnezoffii and A. kusnezoffii processed with T. chebula on cell inhibition rate after cultured for 4，8，12，24 h. Hoechst 33258 staining was used to observe the effects on cell morphology characteristics after treated with 2，4，6 mg/mL raw A. kusnezoffii and A. kusnezoffii processed with T. chebula . Using macrophages RAW264.7 cells as subjects ，CCK-8 assay was used to detect the effects of 0.05，0.1，0.25，0.5，0.75，1，1.5，2 mg/mL raw A. kusnezoffii and A. kusnezoffii processed with T. chebula on cell survival rate after cultured for 24 h. ELISA assay was used to detect the effects of 0.05，0.1，0.25，0.5 mg/mL raw A. kusnezoffii and A. kusnezoffii processed with T. chebula on the release of NO ， TNF-α and IL-6 in RAW 264.7 inflammation cells induced by LPS. RESULTS ：When the mass concentration was 0.5，1 mg/mL， neither raw A. kusnezoffii and A. kusnezoffii processed with T. chebula had no inhibitory effect on H 9c2 cells. When the mass concentration was 2 mg/mL，the inhibitory effects of A. kusnezoffii processed with T. chebula on H 9c2 cells was higher than that of raw A. kusnezoffii （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）；fluorescence intensity of cells treated for 24 h was stronger than that of raw A. kusnezoffii，but its nucleus was intact. When the mass concentration was 4-10 mg/mL，the inhibitory rate of A. kusnezoffii processed with T. chebula on H 9c2 cells at different time points （except for 24 h culture of 8，10 mg/mL）was significantly lower than raw A. kusnezoffii （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. The characteristics of cell morphology also showed that the fluorescence intensity of raw A. kusnezoffii group at 4，6 mg/mL was stronger than that of A. kusnezoffii processed with T. chebula group，and the cell nucleus fragmentation was more serious in the raw A. kusnezoffii group. 0.05-0.5 mg/mL raw A. kusnezoffii and A. kusnezoffii processed with T. chebula had no toxicity to RAW264.7 cells. 0.25，0.5 mg/mL raw A. kusnezoffii and 0.1，0.25，0.5 mg/mL A. kusnezoffii processed with T. chebula showed significant inhibitory effect on the release of NO ，0.05，0.1，0.25，0.5 mg/mL raw A. kusnezoffii and A. kusnezoffii processed with T. chebula showed significant inhibitory effect on the release of TNF-α and IL-6 in RAW 264.7 cell（P＜0.05 or P＜ 0.01）. The inhibitory effects of A. kusnezoffii processed with T. chebula at the same concentration on the release of NO was better than that of raw A. kusnezoffii ，but poorer than raw A. kusnezoffii in the inhibitory effects on the release of TNF-α and IL-6. CONCLUSIONS：The toxicity of A. kusnezoffii can be reduced after processed with T. chebula ，especially the toxicity of it in medium or high concentration and short-term use is lower than that of raw A. kusnezoffii . At the same time ，the anti-inflammatory effect of A. kusnezoffii processed with T. chebula is comparable to that of raw A. kusnezoffii at the same concentration.
