Objective:To observe effects of Panax pseudo-ginseng saponins on protein expression of VEGF, bFGF in myocardium in acute myocardial infarction rats. Methods: The acute myocardial infraction (AMI) model was established in one hundred and forty Wistar rats, and the rats were randomly divided into five groups: the western medicine group mobilized by subcutaneous injection of G-CSF50?g.kg-1.d-1, sham-operated group and model group treated by subcutaneous injection of normal saline 50?g.kg-1.d-1, the Chinese medicine group mobilized by intraperitoneal injection of Xuesaitong (ingredients of Panax pseudo-ginseng saponins) 150mg.kg-1.d-1, the integrative group mobilized by subcutaneous injection of G-CSF 50?g.kg-1.d and intraperitoneal injection of Xuesaitong 150mg.kg-1.d-1. Except for the sham-operated group, each group was divided into three sub-groups by three time points of 1d, 7d and 14d. G-CSF was used once a day for 7 days. Xuesaitong was injected once a day until the rats were killed. The parameters cardiac function in rats with myocardial infarction were detection by color doppler ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus in different times,the expression of VEGF, bFGF in Marginal zone of myocardium in rats with myocardial infarction were detected by immunohistochemistry in different time. Pathological and ultrastructural changes of marginal zone in rats with acute myocardial infarction were observed by electron microscopy and light microscopy. Results:Panax pseudo-ginseng saponins can improve the level of left ventricular systolic function such as EF,FS,it can inhibit the increase of left ventricular LVDD and LVDS,it can improve expression levels of VEGF,bFGF of marginal zone in acute myocardial infarction rats. It also can reduce the damage to cell ultrastructure and promote revascularization in the site around MI area. Panax pseudo-ginseng saponins can protect the myocytes in rats with myocardial infarction. Conclusion:Panax pseudo-ginseng saponins can protect myocardium from ischemic injury in rats after AMI by way of improving expressions of VEGF and bFGF in myocardial cells and promoting angiogenesis in the infarcted of myocardium.

Objective To investigate the result of McBride operation for treatment of hallux valgus with more than 5 years follow-up. Methods There were totally fifity patients who underwent McBride operation in this study. The follow-up period varied from 5 years to 10 years and 2 months (average 7 years and 1 month). The symptoms and deformity before and after operation were compared statisticly. Results The angle between first phalanx and metatarsal is strongly correlated with the angle between first and second metatarsal.The coefficience of pre- and post-operation is 0.84 and 0.71 respectively.There were 64 feet whose symptoms were eliminated and the deformity were corrected basically. The effective rate was 71.1% according to the assessment criteria discribed by doctor ZHU Lihua. The common complications were pain residue, local numbness, hallux valgus recurrence, hallux varus and claw toes. The measurment showed the angle between first phalanx and metatarsal significantly decreased after operation and the angle between first and second metatarsal also decreased following the hallux valgus correction. Conclusion McBride operation is a good and reliable method to treat young patients with mild to moderate hallux valgus. Complications are related to congenital foot deformity, severe valgus deformity and normal structure injuries during the operation.

?-adrenoceptor,whose subtypes ?1-and ?2-adrenoceptor are expressed on panreatic cancer cells,is closely related to the occurrence and development of pancreatic cancer.?-adrenoceptor agonists epirenamine,isopropylarterenol and the tobacco-specific nitrosamine 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone(NNK) induce pancreatic cancer proliferation.Research on the molecular mechanism is as follows: Activating ?-receptor can stimulate protein kinase A(PKA)/arachidonic acid(AA) pathway in pancreatic cancer cells.NNK also stimulates mutation of Ras and the activation of Src tyrosine kinase and Ras,followed by activation of mitogen activated protein kinase(MAPK) pathway.?-adrenoceptor can make the epidermal growth factor(EGFR) pathway transactivated,and the EGFR and ?-adrenergic signalling pathways might synergize to activate Src and Ras.Increased evidence suggests that patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma share many risk factors,such as smoking and chronic depression,with cardiovascular disease patients.Drugs to block ?-adrenoceptor in cardiovascular diseases might be used for the prevention and treatment of pancreatic cancer.
