Objective To observe the effects of creatine phosphate sodium on heart function and B -type natriuretic peptide in patients combination with ischemic cardiomyopathy and intractable heart failure .Methods 70 cases of coronary heart disease combined with ischemic cardiomyopathy and intractable heart failure were randomly ( with the random number table ) divided into the control group ( n=33) and the creatine phosphate sodium treatment group (n=37).The control group treated with conventional therapy (digitalis,diuretics,vasodilator,ACEI,et al) ten days;the treatment group with creatine phosphate sodium treatment on the basis of conventional therapy .The symp-tom,sign of the heart failure patients of the two groups before and after treatment were observed .NYHA cardiac func-tional grading were estimated.Echocardiography was used to detect left ventricular end -systolic diameter(LVESD), left ventricular end diastolic diameter ( LVEDD ) and left ventricular ejection fraction ( LVEF ); amino terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) tested by laboratory of the two groups.Drug treatment for 10 days,the chan-ges of the indicators before and after treatment were observed .Results After treatment , compared with the control group[(50.63 ±4.67) mm,(61.30 ±4.58) mm].LVESD,LVEDD of the creatine phosphate sodium treatment [(47.16 ±4.30)mm,(57.92 ±4.30)mm]significantly decreased(t=5.73,4.96,all P<0.01),LVEF[(40.57 ± 4.51)%,(37.63 ±4.53)%]increased significantly(t =5.53,P<0.01).After ten days of treatment levels of NT-proBNP decreased in both two groups [(1 659.±248.18) pg/mL,1 899.3 ±205.45] than before treatment [2 043.46 ±217.04,(2 105.46 ±239.09)pg/mL](t=3.23,3.64,all P<0.05),and the decrease degree of the creatine phosphate sodium treatment group was more obvious than those of the control group (t=4.11,P<0.05). Conclusion Creatine phosphate sodium can improve the cardiac function and left ventricular ejection fraction of ischemic cardiomyopathy and intractable heart failurepatients ,enhance the clinical symptoms of patients .

Ammonia toxicity has been generally accepted as one of the classic theories of the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy (HE). Ammonia induces changes in neurological system energy metabolism, oxidative stress, mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT), GABA and Glutamatergic neurotransmission, intracellular signal transduction and Aquaporin 4 (AQP4) expression, astrocyte swelling is another important consequence of ammonia neurotoxicity. This article reviewed the role of these factors in the mechanism of HE and ammonia toxicity.

Objective To estimate the clinical value of thinprep cytologic test (TCT) in screening cervical lesion. Methods 4234 TCT samples were interpreted according to the Besthesda System (TBS), 272positive cases (ASC-US or above) were taken colposcopic examination and biopsy. Results The coincidence of the results between TCT and biopsy in low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), adenocarcinoma (AC) were 85.71%(12/14), 100 % (20/20), 75 % (3/4) and 100 % (2/2), respectively. The positive rates of over ASC-H by TCT and of over CIN Ⅰ by biopsy were 23.16 % (63/272) and 24.26 % (66/272), respectively. There is no difference between two positive rates (x2 = 0.868, P = 0.581). Conclusion TCT and histopathological diagnosis had a high coincidence, a combination of both can greatly enhance HSIL and cervical cancer and reduce the incidence of missed diagnosis. TCT would be a rapid and convenient method for screening cervical cancer.

Objective To study the correlation of multi-slice CT portography (MSCTP) and digestive endoscopy in the diagnosis and evaluation of esophageal and gastric varices (EGV) caused by cirrhosis.Methods A total of 92 patients with cirrhosis were enrolled in the prospective study.All the patients were examined by endoscopy and 64-slice spiral CT scan in 4 weeks.The types,grading of EGV were observed by endoscopy and MSCTP,and Kappa conformance test was applied with the endoscopic findings as gold standard.The sensitivity,specificity,consistency,and Youden index were evaluated for the diagnosis of sophageal and gastric varices by MSCTP.Results Sixty-five patients were diagnosed to have EGV by endoscopy and 27 were negative.The positive patients included 45 patients of GOV1,19 of GOV2 and 1 patient of IGV1.MSCTP diagnosed 67 cases of EGV and 25 patients of negative results.The positive patients included 46 of GOV1,18 of GOV2 and 3 of IGV1.Two patients of IGV1 varicose veins without positive findings on endoscopy were diagnosed by using MDCTP,which revealed isolated varicose veins under the gastric mucosa.There was high consistency between MSCTP and EGV in the diagnosis of EGV (Kappa =0.732,P < 0.01).The sensitivity of MSCTP was 93.8%,specificity was 77.8%,consistency was 89.1%,and Youden index 71.6%.There was high consistency between MSCTP and EGV in the classification of EGV (Kappa values were 0.743 and 0.763,P < 0.01).Conclusions There is high consistency between MSCTP and digestive endoscopic in the diagnosis and classification of EGV in cirrhosis.MSCTP is superior to endoscopy in the detection of gastric varices.

OBJECTIVE To study the antitumor activity and underlying mechanisms of Xiaoaiping injection(Xap)combined with gefitinib(Gef)in nude mice bearing resistant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells H460 or H975. METHODS BALB/c nude mice were inoculated with human NSLCL cells H460 or H1975 and the drug treatment did not start until the tumor volume reached 50-100 mm3. The tumor bearing mice were divided into four groups:control group,Xap group(5 g · kg-1,ip),Gef group (50 mg · kg-1,ig),and Xap plus Gef group. All the administration lasted for 21 d continuous. Tumor volumes were measured two or three times per week,and the body weight of animals was re-corded. At the end of the test,tumors were weighed after the sacrifice of mice. Tumor inhibition rate and relative tumor proliferation rate were calculated based on tumor weight and tumor volume. The related biomarkers and proteins in tumor tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blot assay, respectively. RESULTS Compared with the control group,no significant effect was observed on the growth of H460 and H1975 xenografts in groups of Xap or Gef alone in nude mice. However,the two-drug combination significantly suppressed tumor volume,with (1103 ± 340) versus (3020 ± 450) mm3 for H460 and(487 ± 153)versus(1269 ± 161)mm3 for H1975,respectively(P<0.05). The combined Xap and Gef application also significantly reduced the tumor weight,with(1.20±0.52)versus(2.78± 0.93)g for H460 and(0.52 ± 0.32)versus(0.92 ± 0.42)g for H1975,respectively(P<0.05). The relative tumor proliferation rate and inhibition rate in the combination group was 42.1%and 43.5%for H460(P<0.01),43.0%and 52.5% for H1975(P<0.01). Compared with Xap and Gef drug alone,their combination showed significant difference in reducing tumor weight,suppressing tumor proliferation rate and increasing tumor inhibition rate(P<0.05). Immunohistochemistry results showed that each drug alone had no effect on tumor angiogenesis markers of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)and CD105 expression,or on drug resistance related proteins of p-ERK,p-Akt and p-mTOR,whereas the combination of Xap and Gef obviously reduced the expression of these biomarkers in H460 and H1975 tumor tissues. The decreased drug resistance related proteins of p-PI3K and its downstream molecules p-Akt,p-ERK and p-mTOR by the two-drug combination were also confirmed by Western blot results(P<0.01,compared with control), and showed significant difference compared with each single treatment(P<0.05). CONCLUSION The addition of Xap significantly improves the antitumor activity of Gef in H460 and H1975 xenografts,and this synergistic effect may be ascribed to the inhibition of tumor angiogenesis,the down-regulation of PI3K and its downstream signaling molecules which are associated with drug resistance.
