Objective To compare the efficacy of aspirin and rivaroxaban on prevention of deep vein thrombosis after total knee repalcement.Methods Patients (200 cases) who were given total knee replacement were selected,and the patients in aspirin group (98 cases) were administered with asprin after 12 h treatment,and the patients in rivaroxaban group (102 cases) were administered with rivaroxaban after 12 h treatment.The efficacy of aspirin and rivaroxaban to prevent deep vein thrombosis after total knee repalcement was evaluated by blood coagulation indexes,D-dimer level,and complication during perioperative period.Results Before surgery,there was no statistically significant difference on coagulation indexes between two groups.After 3 d of operation,there was no statistically significant difference in Plt,APTT,and PT between two groups.The FIB level of aspirin group was improved significantly and higher than that of rivaroxaban group (P ＜ 0.05).While the FIB level of rivaroxaban group was close to the normal level.Before operation,there was no statistically significant difference in D-dimer between two groups.After 1,3,and 7 d of operation,the D-dimer levels in two groups were increased.But the D-dimer levels of 3 and 7 d after operation began to decline.After 1,3,and 7 d of operation,the D-dimer ofrivaroxaban group was lower than that of aspirin group (P ＜ 0.05).During perioperative period,there was no statistically significant difference on DVT between two groups.Conclusion Rivaroxaban could prevent the formation of DVT effectively and reduce the D-dimer with good anticoagulation and high safety.It is worthy of clinical application.

Exosome is a sort of vesicle structure attached to cell membrane and released by cells, which contains numerous bioactive molecules, such as proteins, lipids, mRNA, microRNA and DNA fragments. These bioactive molecules are involved in the regulation of many biological processes, not only the participation in the occurrence and development of diverse diseases, but also the close relationship with the invasion and metastasis of tumors. The recent study has indicated that lots of exosomes released from cancer cells participate in a variety of pathological processes as a messenger of cell functions. This article will elaborate the function and application of exosomes in some malignant cancers.

Objective To study the ultrasonographic changes and blood flow characteristic ofthromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) by two-dimensional ultrasound and color Doppler imaging MethodForty-seven vessels of 40 patients with clinically suspected TAO vascular detected with two-dimensionalultrasound and color Doppler,and comparison with CT imagmg.Results Color Doppler imaging couldvisualize the arterial wall and blood flow echo filling case,and the spectrum showed the hemodynamicchanges.Conclusions Color Doppler is the first choice for the secondary check to the noninvasivethromboangiitis obliterans,close to the result by an angiography that is usually regarded as a sensitive,accurate and convenient diagnostic method.

Bariatric surgery began in 1950s.The rapid increase of obese patients and development of laparoseopic techniques lead to popularity of bariatric surgery all over the world in 1990s.Current mainstream of bariatric surgeries include laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding,sleeve gastrectomy,Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and biliopancreatic diversion.In this review,the efficacy of different surgical procedures was compared in the aspects of metabolic disorder remission and incidence of operation complications and mortality.Efficacy of bariatric surgery on the alleviation of metabolic disorders (including hypergycemia,hyperlipidemia,hypercholesterolemia),individual treatment and interdisciplinary cooperation should be emphasized.

11?-hydroxylase deficiency is one of the main causes of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH),which is caused by the mutation of CYP11B1 gene that encodes the enzyme.Researches have shown that mutations of CYP11B1 gene would result in decreased activity or inactivation of the enzyme in classical 11?- hydroxylase deficiency,and their relationship between genotype and phenotype of 11?-hydroxylase deficiency is not clear.

Osteoporotic fracture is the most destructive ending of osteoporosis, many interacting risk factors play a role in its occurrence. With age, the bodies function decline gradually. Symptoms like soreness of the waist, back pain, cramp of the lower limb and weakness appears. These are related to TCM syndrome factors like kidney deficiency, liver deficiency, spleen deficiency and blood stagnation. Symptoms can act as a warning of the occurrence of osteoporotic fracture in the early stages. The risk assessment tool of osteoporotic fracture is mostly developed on the basis of modern risk factors and thus lacks syndrome differentiation, that may limit its utilization. If the relevant content of syndrome differentiation is integrated into the forecasting tool and a risk assessment tool of osteoporotic fracture which complies with the demographics of China is built up, population risk assessment for high of risk could be established and scientific evidence for the adoption of effective interventions could be applied.

Objective To analyse effect of dobutamine on C-reactive protein,D-dimer,BNP and blood gas analysis in children with neonatal pulmonary hypertension.Methods 46 patients who were diagnosed with neonatal pulmonary hypertension in our hospital were collected.All patients were randomly divided into experimental group and control group, 23 cases in each group.Control group was treated with sedation, maintenance of water electrolyte balance, blood pressure, anti-infection,experiment group was treated with dobutamine hydrochloride injection 5μg/(kg· min) intravenous infusion, continuous for 48 h on the basis of conventional therapy, after treatment,the levels of peripheral blood C-reactive protein, D-dimer and BNP and blood gas analysis effect were detected in all patients.Results Compared with control group post-treatment, the serum level CRP,D-dimer, BNP were lower in experimental group ( P <0.05 );the PaO2 and SpO2 levels were higher, the PAH level was lower in experimental group ( P <0.05 ) . Conclusion The dobutamine can significantly reduce the serum CRP, plasma D-dimer and BNP levels in children with neonatal pulmonary hypertension, reduce pulmonary hypertension.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to ascertain whether radiation adaptive response could be induced by high dose I-131 therapy in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Lymphocytes from 21 patients (7 males, 14 females, mean age 55+/-12 years) were collected before and after administration of 5,550 MBq (150 mCi) I-131. They were exposed to a challenge dose of 1 Gy gamma rays using a Cs-137 cell irradiator. The number of ring-form (R) and dicentric (D) chromosomes was counted under the light microscope, and used to calculate the frequency of chromosomal aberration. Ydr, which was defined as the sum of R and D divided by the total number of counted lymphocytes. RESULTS: Ydr in patients before I-131 therapy (0.09+/-0.01) was not different from that of controls (0.08+/-0.01). Ydr was significantly increased to 0.13+/-0.02 (p<0.0001) after I-131 therapy. Increase of Ydr after the challenge irradiation of 1 Gy was significantly lower in patients after I-131 therapy than before I-131 therapy (0.17+/-0.03 vs 0.21+/-0.02, p<0.0001). Cycloheximide (CHM), an inhibitor of protein synthesis, abolished this effect. Ydr after CHM (0.20+/-0.01) was significantly higher than Ydr after I-131 therapy (0.17+/-0.03, p<0.0001), but was not different from Ydr before I-131 therapy (0.21+/-0.02). CONCLUSION: High dose I-131 therapy induces an adaptive response in peripheral lymphocytes of patients with well-differentiated thyroid cancer, which is associated with protein synthesis.

Objective To evaluate the relation between cystatin C and the presence and severity of asymptomatic coronary artery disease in metabolic syndrome(MetS).Methods A total of 201 asymptomatic MetS patients with normal renal function were per-formed the coronary angiograph and the detection of serum Cystatin C level and other risk factors for atherosclerosis.Results Ser-um cystatin C level in the MetS patients with asymptomatic coronary artery disease were significantly higher than those in the pa-tients without coronary artery disease,moreover the more severe of the disease,the higher the cyctatin C,which was independently associated with other risk factors for atherosclerosis.Conclusion Serum cystatin C level can been used as the index for the presence and severity of asymptomatic coronary artery disease in Mets with normal kidney function.
