Objective To investigate the effect of hosphocreatine therapy on the plasma cardiotrophin-1(CT-1) and N terminal probrain natriuretic (NT-proBNP) in elderly hypertensive patients with heart failure. Methods A total of 76 hy-pertensive patients with heart failure, aged 65 or over, were randomly divided into treatment group and control group (n=38 for each group). The control group received routine anti-heart failure treatment. The treatment group received conventional therapy plus creatine phosphate sodium for 2 weeks. The plasma levels of CT-1 and NT-proBNP were determined in two groups. The plasma CT-1 level was measured by a double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The plasma level of NT-proBNP was tested by Rui Pu fluorescent dry quantitative analyzer. Results The plasma levels of CT-1 and NT-proBNP were significantly lower after treatment in two groups (P＜0.01). The plasma levels of CT-1 and NT-proBNP were significantly decreased in treatment group than those in control group (P＜0.05). The total effective rate was 89.47%in treatment group, which was significantly higher than that of control group (71.05%, P＜0.05). Symptoms of heart failure improved in one week (21 cases in treatment group/9 cases in control group) and in two weeks (13 cases in treatment group/18 cases in control group). Conclusion The conventional therapy plus creatine phosphate sodium can decrease the plasma CT-1 and NT-proBNP levels in elderly hypertensive patients with heart failure, which improves symptoms of heart failure in a shorter period of time.

Objective To investigate the expressions of B7-H1 and PD-1 on peripheral leukocytes from patients with Henoch-Schtmlein purpura(HSP)and their significance.Methods Peripheral leukocytes were obtained from 36 patients with HSP(HSP group)and 24 healthy human controls(control group).Immunofluorescent staining and flow cytometry were used to measure the expressions of B7-H1 and PD-1 on peripheral leukocytes.The expression of both two molecules was compared between the HSP group and control group as well as between patients with Henoch-Sch(o)nlein purpura nephritis(HSPN)(n=9)and those without(n=27).SPSS 12.0 for Windows was used for data analysis.Results The expression rate of B7-H1 on monocytes significantly increased(24.43%±25.79%vs 7.69%±8.31%,t=3.62,P＜0.011),while that of PD-1 decreased(0.84%±1.96%vs 2.28%±1.95%,t=2.78,P＜0.01)in HSP group compared with those in the control group.No significant difference was revealed in the expression of B7-H1 or PD-1 on lymphocytes between HSP group and control group(both P＞0.05).There was a significant increase in the expression of B7-H1 on monocytes(44.81%±12.36%vs 17.63%±25.63%,t=3.05,P＜0.01)and lymphocytes(8.78%±2.10%vs 5.65%±3.96%,t=2.25,P＜0.05)in patients with HSPN compared with those without.Conclusion There is a high expression of B7-H1.but low expression of PD-1 on peripheral blood monocytes from patients with HSP.suggesting that B7-H1 and PD-1 may play a certain role in the Dathogenesis of HSP.

One hundred Alzheimer′s disease (AD) patients with behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) treated with donepezil+risperidone group ( n=50, group 1) or hydrochloride memantine+risperidone group ( n=50, group 2) in geriatric departments of Hangzhou Seventh People′s Hospital were enrolled in the study. Montreal cognitive assessment scale (MoCA), positive and negative syndrome scale (PANSS), treatment emergent symptom scale (TESS) were applied for evaluation; and blood routine examination, blood biochemistry, eletrocardiogram were performed in two groups before and after treatment. After treatment, MoCA score in group 2 (16.10±3.90) was significantly higher than that in group 1 (18.14±3.71)( t=-3.99, P<0.01), and PANSS score in group 2 (86.66±6.62) was significantly lower than that in group 1 (109.50±11.51; t=12.67, P<0.01). The incidence rates of dry mouth (16%,8/50), extrapyramidal side effects (10%,5/50) and the total score of TESS (3.92±2.02) in group 2 were markedly lower than those of group 1 [44%(22/50), 36%(18/50), (12.49±1.45);χ 2=9.33,9.54, t=17.90,all P<0.01]. Meanwhile, group 2 had significantly lower influences on the levels of blood lipids and fasting blood glucose (all P<0.01). The risperidone dose used in group 2 was significantly lower than that in group 1 [(2.06±0.50) vs. (3.85±0.89)mg, t=14.40, P=0.04].The results suggest that hydrochloridememantine combined with risperidone is more effective with less side effects compared to donepezil combined with risperidone for AD patients with BPSD.

Objective:To understand the epidemiological, clinical and pathogenic characteristics of febrile respiratory syndrome in Urumqi.Methods:Epidemiological andclinical information and laboratory test result of febrile respiratory syndrome cases from 2018 to 2019 were collected for descriptive research and statistical analysis.Results:A total of 485 cases of febrile respiratory syndrome were collected, mainly fever (99.17%), cough (82.27%), and expectoration (41.65%). Pneumonia cases accounted for 56.29% of the total number of cases. The overall rate of viral positivity was 45.77%. Among them, the positive detection rate of respiratory syncytial virus was the highest (8.87%), followed by influenza A virus H1N1 subtype (7.42%), influenza B virus (4.95%) and adenovirus (4.95%). The main pathogens that occurred in winter and spring were influenza virus and respiratory syncytial virus, parainfluenza virus type 1, type 3 and rhinovirus disease in summer and autumn.Conclusions:The pathogens that cause febrile respiratory syndrome cases in Urumqi are mainly respiratory syncytial virus, influenza virus and adenovirus. In winter and spring, prevention and control of influenza and respiratory syncytial virus is important, and in summer and autumn prevention and control of parainfluenza virus and rhinovirus infection is important. Control andcareful differential diagnosis of various viruses and novel coronaviruses in the cases with fever respiratory group are mandatory.

Objective:To understand the prevalence of other infectious diarrhea in Urumqi, Xinjiang from 2014 to 2018, to explore application of ARIMA model to predict other infectious diarrhea, and to provide a basis for scientific prevention and treatment.Methods:The epidemiological data of other perceptual diarrhea in a tertiary hospital from 2014 to 2018 and the data of laboratory test result in the " China Disease Prevention and Control Information System" were collected and sorted for descriptive epidemiological analysis, and SPSS software was used to predict the ARIMA model.Results:Other infectious diarrhea cases in a tertiary hospital from 2014 to 2018 were mainly concentrated in June to October (1 748 cases), accounting for 65.89% of the total cases in the whole year. Children under 10 years of age were the main population for other infectious diarrhea (1 699 cases), accounting for 49.26%. Rotavirus infection was the main cause of other infectious diarrhea (339 cases), accounting for 93.38% of all detected pathogens. ARIMA (0, 1, 2)(0, 1, 1) 12 was the optimal model, which verified that the average relative error of the number of cases in Urumqi from January to December in 2018 was 20%, and the actual value was within the 95% confidence interval of the predicted value. Conclusions:Health education on the prevention of other infectious diarrhea should be strengthened for children under 10 years of age and their parents in Urumqi, focusing on rotavirus diarrhea, and the promotion and vaccination of rotavirus vaccine for children under 10 years old should be done well. ARIMA (0, 1, 2)(0, 1, 1) 12 has certain value in predicting the incidence of other infectious diarrhea.

Novel therapeutic approaches targeting key genes and regulatory molecules of hepato-cellular carcinoma(HCC)have gradually been carried out in clinical practice.Hypoxia-inducible factor(HIF),as a critical factor for hepatocellular carcinoma cells to adapt to the hypoxic microenvi-ronment,mediates changes in the transcription of many genes.HIF has a wide range of target genes and can promote metabolic reprogramming,angiogenesis,invasion and metastasis,and immune es-cape of cancer cells by regulating various signaling pathways.Hypoxia-inducible factor 1α(HIF-1α),as the main member of the HIF family,can provide new ideas and insights for exploring potential tar-gets for HCC treatment.
