Objective:To observe clinical therapeutic effects of method for supplementing Qi,activating blood circulation and resolving phlegm and effects on vascular endothelial function and blood coagulation system in senile patient of hyperlipemia.Methods:96 senile patients of hyperlipemia were randomly divided into a treatment group(n=56)and a control group(n=40).The patients of the treatment group were treated by oral administration of Danshen Jueming Granules and the control group by oral administration of Xuezhikang Capsules.Blood lipids,vascular endothelial function,blood coagulation system and safety were observed.Results:After treatment,the treatment group in decrease of plasma total cholesterol(TC)and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol(LDL-C)was superior to the control group(P

Objective To study the inhibitory effects of dendritic cells modified by sCD41)gene on T lymphocytes phenotypes and cytokines production and the mechanism of inducing donor-specific immune tolerance in vitro.Methods T lymphocytes prepared with Nylon Fiber Column from Balb/c mice(as reaction cells)and DCs of different groups(as stimulation cells)were subjected to primary mixed lymphocyte culture(MLC).After incubation for 7 days,the responsiveness of the cells was de- tected by MTS method at the indicated time points,and supernatants were assayed for IFN-?,IL-2, IL-4,IL-10 by ELISA kits.On the day 5,the cultured cells were assessed for the expression of CD4, CDS,CD25 and CD69 by using flow cytometry(FCM).After secondary MLC for 5 days,the same indexes were assayed hy using the same methods.Results Dendritic cells modified by sCD40 could in- duce the hyporesponsiveness to alloantigen in primary and secondary MLC.In primary MLC,the ex- pression of CD4~+ and CD8~+ T cells and CD4~+ CD25~+,CD8~+ CD25~+,CD4~+ CD69~+,CD8~+ CD69~+ T cells in IX;modified by sCD40 group were less than those in control group(P

AIM: To investigate the effects of Astragalus polysacharin(APS) on human fibroblast and human umbilical vein endothelia cell (HUVEC) proliferation, as well as its acts on adhesion between white cells and HUVECs. METHODS: Human fibroblasts from distal and proximal skin away the ulcer were cultured as normal fibroblasts(NF) and wounded fibroblasts(WF). MTT assay was used for detecting cell proliferation, Rose Bengal staining and fluorescence immunohistology assay were used for examining the adhesion of human polymorpho-nuclear cell(PMN) and TPH-1 to HUVECs. RESULTS: 2 44-156 mg/L APS promoted WF proliferation, and 2 44-39 mg/L APS also promoted NF proliferation, but it did not show any proliferating effect on HUVECs. APS inhibited the adhesion of PMN or TPH-1 to HUVECs induced by tumor necrosis factor(TNF). At 25-100 mg/L, it also inhibited both VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 expression in HUVECs induced by TNF. Treatment with APS for 12 h also inhibited CD44 expression in HUVECs. CONCLUSION: APS shows mitogenic activity on both human normal and wounded fibroblasts. It also exerts anti-inflammation effects by inhibiting adhesion molecule expression and adhesion of white cells to HUVECs. [

Objective To evaluate the safety of modified sputum induction in moderate to very severe COPD during exacerbation. Methods Ninety patients with moderate, severe or very severe COPD during exacerbation (27 with type Ⅰ and Ⅱ respiratory failure,18 with coronary heart disease, 38 with tachycardia) were chosen as research subjects. All the patients underwent induced sputum. During induction , all patients were given electrocardiographic monitoring and pulmonary function check every 5 minutes and FEV1, HR, SpO2 in the process of testing were recorded. Results Ninety patients underwent 224 sputum inductions progress, 222 were safety. Qualified sputum samples were collected for 216 times, sputum induction was successful in 96.43% of occasions. Heart rate rising and SpO2 reducing during sputum induction mainly occurred in the beginning 5 minutes, FEV1 did not change in the whole process. Conclusion Modified sputum induction can be safe through closely monitoring in patients with moderate-to-very severe COPD with exacerbation, even with type Ⅰ or typeⅡ respiratory failure. But the risk of sputum induction will increase if patients with coronary heart disease and tachyarrhythmia, especially within beginning 5 minutes of sputum induction.

Objective To explore the clinic utility of Hb A level in neonatal cord blood screening for β‐thalassemia .Methods A total of 1 599 neonatal cord specimens whose parents were carriers of β‐thalassemia prenatal diagnosised by routine molecular genet‐ic were collected by cordocentesis .These samples were analyzed by the capillary electrophoresis system (Sebia) .Results Among 1 599 fetuses ,186 were diagnosed as β‐thalassemia carriers ,68 were β‐thalasseima intermedia/major .ROC analysis demonstrated that the optimal cutoff value for identifying β‐thalassemia carrier from the Hb A level was 5 .15% (sensitivity = 83 .9% , specificity = 82 .3% ) ,and that was 3 .2% for β‐thalasseima intermedia/major (sensitivity = 100 .0% ,specificity = 99 .4% ) .Conclu‐sion The Hb A level of cord blood was an effective marker to screen the β‐thalassemia for fetuses and is therefore well‐suited for clinical diagnostic use .

Objective To discuss the value of 16-slice spiral CT urography in clinical diagnosis.Methods To compare the images between CR excretory urography,CT and MPR,which are the results of 26 cases who were examined by both CR and 16-slice spiral CT urography.Results From the comparison,it is found that the spiral CT urography images are better than that of the CR excertory urography,and at the same time,the relationship between the parenchyma of the renal,renal pelvis,ureter,bladder and the urinary organs and adjacent structures can be demonstrated clearly.Conclusion The scanning time of the spiral CT is shorter.The machine can not only reconstruct powerfully but also work out better images,and the result is better than CR excretory urography which can not detect some details in its images.Therefore CR excretory urogaphy can be replaced by 16-slice spiral CT urography regardless of its cost.

Objective To explore the effect of different processing and drying methods of corn and hot pepper on fluorine content in coal-burning type of the endemic fluorosis areas, and to screen food processing and drying methods which meet the quality requirements of grain drying and able to effectively reduce the total fluoride intake of local population. Methods Farmers of endemic fluorosis area in Bijie, Guizhou province were divided into 3 groups: sun-baked drying group, stove drying group with air-tight cover and stove drying group with no cover, 10 households in each group. Corn and fresh hot pepper and samples dried for 2 weeks, or 1, 3, 6-month were collected, and water and fluoride content were detected, and the total daily fluoride intake were calculated in accordance with the "Determination of Water in Food" (GB/T 5009.3-2003) and "Determination of Fluorine in Foods"(GB/T 5009.18-2003). Results Fluoride content in fresh corn and dried for 2 weeks, or 1, 3, 6-month [of sunbaked drying group: (1.40 ± 0.16), (1.56 ± 0.14), (2.15 ± 0.47), (2.70 ± 0.64), (4.06 ± 1.75)mg/kg, stove drying group with air-tight cover: (1.41 ± 0.16), (2.39 ± 0.56), (4.60 ± 0.97), (8.46 ± 5.55), (11.36 ± 3.60)mg/kg,stove drying group with no cover: (1.40 ± 0.13), (4.69 ± 3.97), (4.47 ± 2.77), (9.65 ± 6.47), (26.12 ± 14.52)mg/kg] and pepper[sun-baked drying group: (5.41 ± 1.61), (16.60 ± 7.62), (32.60 ± 7.88), (50.26 ± 17.60),(240.20 ± 272.49)mg/kg, stove drying group with air-tight cover: (754 ± 2.95), (3238 ± 11.50), (119.18 ± 156.45),(224.00 ± 196.58), (495.70 ± 417.29)mg/kg, stove drying group with no cover: (4.82 ± 1.25), (44.30 ± 13.48),(122.89 ± 66.43), (334.23 ± 166.05), (531.01 ± 397.40)mg/kg] increased with elongation of drying time, and the group difference was significant(F = 44.77, 128.71, 126.87, 41.61, 53.63, 170.63, all P ＜ 0.05), with the largest rate of increase in stove drying group with no cover, and the lowest in sun-baked drying group;fluoride was significantly lower (t = 7.93,63.07,5.36,11.98,55.76,7.45, all P ＜ 0.05) after sample washing;total fluoride intake per person per day was 2.57 mg in local adult when ate washed and sun-baked corn, peppers, the total fluoride intake were 5.92, 8.14 mg when ate the food processed by other two drying methods and washed corn, peppers,respectively. Conclusions In the coal-burning type of fluorosis endemic area, should take appropriate health education measures, and instruct local residents to use sun bake their edible corn and pepper for human consumption, and cultivate a habit of washing corn and pepper before cooking, which can reduce the population total fluoride intake, and control endemic fluorosis.
