OBJECTIVETo explore effects of Tongxinluo Capsule (TC) on platelet activating factor (PAF), vascular endothelial function, thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) blood flow, and heart function in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients after delayed percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

METHODSTotally 80 AMI inpatients were recruited at Department of Cardiology, People's Hospital of Jiangxi Province, from Jan. 2008 to Sep.2013. Those in line with inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to TC treatment group and the conventional treatment group by random digit table, 40 in each group. Besides, another 40 healthy subjects from examinees at Outpatient Department were recruited as a healthy control group. PCI was performed after 1-week treatment. Then blood samples were collected, and then blood contents of CD62P, CD63, GP II b/III a, ET-1, NO, and plasma von Willebrand factor (vWF) levels were detected. Coronary TIMI blood flow and corrected TIMI frame count (CTFC) were determined during PCI. Meanwhile, noninvasive blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) were recorded before and after PCI, and cardiac function measured. They were compared with the healty control group.

RESULTSCompared with the healthy control group, blood contents of CD62p, CD63, GP II b/IIIa receptor compound, vWF, and ET-1 significantly increased, but NO significantly decreased in AMI patients (all P < 0.05). After 1-week intervention of TC, blood contents of CD62p, CD63, GP II b/IIIa receptor compound, vWF, NO, and ET-1 significantly decreased (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Compared with the conventional treatment group at the same time point, blood contents of CD62p, CD63, GP II b/IIIa receptor compound, vWF, and ET-1 decreased more significantly in the TC group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), increased NO levels were also more obviously seen (P < 0.01). The aforesaid parameters changed more obviously at day 30, as compared with those changes at week 1 (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). The TIMI blood flow grade and CTFC were more obviously improved after PCI in the two treatment groups. Better TIMI blood flow was seen in the TC group. TIMI level 3 blood flow rate was higher in the TC group than in the conventional treatment group with statistical difference (P < 0.05). The left ventricular ejective factor (LVEF) after PCI was obviously elevated in the TC group and the conventional treatment group (P < 0.01), and the improvement was more obviously seen in the TC group (P < 0.05). There were 6 cases of recurrent angina, 3 cases of ventricular tachycardial (VT)/ventricular fibrillation (VF), 6 cases of heart failure (HF), 1 case of cardiac sudden death in the conventional treatment group, with the total incidence of cardiovascular events being 40% (16/40). There were 2 cases of recurrent angina, 2 cases of VT/VF, 2 cases of HF, no cardiac sudden death in the TC treatment group, with the total incidence of cardiovascular events being 15% (6/40). There was statistical difference in the recurrent rate of cardiovascular events between the two groups (χ² = 2.27, P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONTC not only could prevent coronary embolism of AMI patients after delayed PCI, attenuate vascular endothelial injury, but also could improve TIMI blood flow, and strengthen cardiac systolic function.

Objective To explore the surgical treatments through anterior and posterior approaches for anterior and posterior compression of cervical spinal cord. Methods The clinical data of 25 cases of anterior and posterior compression of cervical spinal cord from June 1999 to November 2003 were summarized retrospectively. There were 18 males and seven females with age range of 28-56 years (average 36.4 years). Of all,18 cases were with tricolumnae fractures of cervical spine caused by traffic injury,five with cervical herniation and two with malignant macrophage tumor in vertebral body and annex and vertebral lamina. Results All 25 cases underwent internal fixation decompression with I-stage combination operation of anterior and posterior approaches. Of 18 cases with tricolumnae fractures,one died and 17 recovered in various degrees. In five cases with cervical herniation,the positive sign disappeared basically. Two cases of malignant giant-cell tumor appeared metastatic carcinoma in the lungs 10 months after operation. Conclusions The I-stage combination operation of anterior and posterior approaches is an ideal way for the patients suffering from anteropsterospinal compression in cervical spinal cord. It can not only decompress completely the cervical spinal cord,stabilize the wounded cervical vertebra,but also facilitate nursing and function training and be beneficial to the recovery of spinal cord function.

This study was aimed to establish a fast determination method of main components in honey. Honey samples from difference production bases were used as study objects. Transmission and reflection spectra of different honey samples were collected with the Fourier transform near infrared spectrometer. The main components in honey (moisture content, fructose content, glucose content and reducing sugar content) were detected by the near infrared quantitative analysis technique. The near infrared quantitative analysis models of moisture content, fructose content, glucose content and reducing sugar content in honey were established by the partial least squares (PLS). The results showed that the correlation coefficient (r) of the moisture content, fructose content, glucose content and reducing sugar content in honey were 0.997 25, 0.973 90, 0.927 94 and 0.952 68, respectively. The root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) were 0.165 (%), 0.564 (%), 1.300 (%) and 1.270 (%), respectively. It was concluded that determination of main components in honey by the near-infrared spectroscopy technology was a fast and nondestructive determination method with high accuracy, which can be used in the quantitative detection of main components in honey.

Objective To observe and compare the curative effects of zoledronic acid (ZA) combined with radiotherapy and ZA combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of bone metastasis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods Seventy-eight patients with NSCLC bone metastasis treated by radiotherapy or chemotherapy were taken in our hospital from January 2010 to June 2014, including 39 cases of ZA combined conventional fractionation radiotherapy (radiotherapy combined group), and 39 cases of ZA combined with chemotherapy (paclitaxel liposome + cisplatin) (chemotherapy combined group). Each group had 39 cases. WHO objective evaluation standard, efficacy evalulation of solid tumor metastasis and curative effect standard grading of pain, anticancer agent toxicity classification standard, Karnofsky standard were used for evaluating and analyzing the patients with primary lung tumor, bone metastasis, degree of pain, adverse reactions and functional status (once before and after the treatment). Results The efficiency rate of primary lung tumor, the efficiency rate of bone metastasis, the total effective rate of pain relief and the improvement rate of functional status (Karnofsky score increased by 10 points or more)in the radiotherapy combined group and chemotherapy combined group were 82.05 % (32/39) vs. 79.49 % (31/39), 48.72 % (19/39) vs. 51.28 %(20/39), 82.05 % (32/39) vs. 84.62 % (33/39), 66.67 % (26/39) vs. 71.79 % (28/39) respectively, and the differences were not statistically significant (the values of x2 were 0.224, 0.237, 0.195, 0.259 respectively, all P> 0.05); Although the two groups showed low-grade fever, bone marrow suppression, esophagitis, liver and kidney damage, gastrointestinal reactions and other adverse reactions, the adverse reactions of two groups were close to [28.21 % (11/39) vs. 30.77 % (12/39)] (x2 = 0.314, P> 0.05). Fortunately, these reactions were controlled well after symptomatic treatment. Conclusion ZA combined with radiotherapy or chemotherapy is a safe and effective way for bone metastasis of NSCLC, which should be taken based on the individual condition of the patients.
