Objective To investigate the effects of Xinnaoxuemianning combined with statins on carotid atherosclerotic plaque in patients with cerebral infarction. Methods 180 cerebral infarction patients were divided into the observation group (90cases) and the control group (90cases) by random number table method. The control group was given atorvastatin calcium tablets and the observation group was given additionally Xinnaoxuemianning. The changes and prognosis of carotid atherosclerotic plaques were evaluated before and after treatment, and the incidence of adverse reactions was counted. Results There were no differences in the carotid atherosclerotic plaque, TCM syndrome score and neurological deficit severity between the two groups before treatment. After treatment, the above indexes were significantly improved, and the increasing degree of the observation group was better than that of the control group. The incidence rate of adverse reactions was lower in the observation group than that in the control group (5.56％ vs.13.33％) (P<0.05). Conclusion Xinnaoxuemianning can reduce the carotid atherosclerotic plaque area and correct the unstable plaques in patients with cerebral infarction.

Objective To investigate the effects of antibody against heat shock protein (HSP) B of Helicobactor pylori (H. pylori) on H.pylori associated gastric disease for the study of the relationship between serum antibody to HSP B of H.pylori and the pathologic changes of the gastric mucosa. Methods 1 036 patients from Shandong province were collected. Six hundred patients were infected with H.pylori. Of those, three hundred received triple therapy for eradication of H.pylori and the other received placebo. Five years later, patients with H.pylori positive chronic superficial gastritis, chronic atrophic gastritis, peptic ulcer, and H.pylori negative chronic superficial gastritis underwent gastroscopy and collected serum specimens again, each group had 20 patients. The Western blot techniques were used to assay antibody to HSP B of H.pylori in sera of these patients. Results The H. pylori positive patients with chronic superficial gastritis ( 0.505 ? 0.061 ) had higher titers of anti H.pylori HSP B IgG antibody compared with those of gastric atrophy ( 0.448 ? 0.105 , P

Considering a variety of theories such like Dunkin's, Centra's and Kolitch's, a set of 13 indicators are designed to evaluate effect of courses taken in high education of China currently, compro-mised by chief aspects of course designing, practicing, and effect. Three courses including medical nursing, humanistic cultivation and communication skills in nursing and fundamentals of nursing in a nursing de-partment are chosen to be objects of questionnaire survey about the above indicators. The results show that there are significant differences in curriculum effectiveness between different courses. The scores are 2.81, 2.80 and 2.60 respectively, and teachers and students have different evaluation on the same indicators of the same curriculum,which provides a reference for teachers, colleges and universities and teaching management departments to promote the improvement of teaching quality.

A moderately halophilic bacterium strain DF-B6 capable of degrading Tween 20 was isolated from solar saltern brine by plate method.Based on the phenotype,physiological and biochemical character-istics,and the phylogenetic analysis of 16S rDNA sequence,strain DF-B6 was identified as Idiomarina.The substrate specificity test showed that the lipolytic enzyme from strain DF-B6 was an esterase,and not a li-pase.The maximum esterase activity was observed in 8% NaCl concentration at 50?C,pH 8.0.The effect of various divalent cations was studied on the activity of esterase from Idiomarina sp.DF-B6 at the concentra-tion of 10 mmol/L,Mg2+,Ca2+ and Mn2+enhanced the esterase activity,while Zn2+,Fe3+ and Cu2+ inhibited its activity.

Purpose To explore the feasibility of optimizing monochromatic images in reducing iodinated contrast dose in CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA). Materials and Methods Sixty-eight patients undergoing CTPA were randomly divided into two groups, with half in research group and half in conventional group to evaluate image quality. Research group underwent spectral CT imaging with the injection of 30 ml Omnipaque (300 mgI/ml) and optimal monochromatic images were postprocessed using the software of GSI viewer. Conventional group underwent conventional CTPA with the injection of 80 ml Ultravist (370 mgI/ml). The CT values were measured respectively in the main pulmonary artery, left pulmonary trunk, right pulmonary trunk, left lobe artery and right lobe artery. The contrast noise ratio (CNR) in two groups were calculated, and image quality were subjectively assessed. Results The total iodine intake in research group (9000 mg) was significantly lower than that of conventional group (29 600 mg). CNR in the main pulmonary artery, left pulmonary trunk, right pulmonary trunk, left lobe artery and right lobe artery in research group was significantly higher than that of conventional group (t=2.07-2.71, P<0.05). Subjective image quality scores in research group were also higher than that of conventional group but had no statistical difference (Z=-0.944, P>0.05), while there was a good agreement between the two readers (Kappa=0.8, P<0.05). Conclusion It is possible to reduce iodinated contrast dose using spectral CT imaging and improve the image quality of CTPA.

Three-orientation medical talent training mainly include humanistic quality cultivation, professional quality and physical and mental quality. With professional ability as the guidance of profes-sional quality education requires students not only to grasp skilled medical technology, but also have the ability to enhance the medical technology. Based on the orientation of training target, this research mainly from habit set, authority set, set the multitude and empirical mind-set four aspects in this paper, the critical thinking, and put forward problems from finding problems, and expounds the innovative thinking of concise problem.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the preventive effect of Bushen Huoxue Recipe (BSHXR), a compound traditional Chinese herbal medicine, on autoimmune premature ovarian failure (POF) in mice. METHODS: Ovarian antigen was prepared with the ovarian tissue of female BALB/c mice. A mouse model of POF was established by immunization injection of the ovarian antigen of isotype female mice on multiple subcutaneous sites and two posterior soles. The POF mice were treated with BSHXR after the first and third immunization. The levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and estradiol (E2) in peripheral blood were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS: Lymphocyte infiltration was appeared in ovarian stroma of POF mice. The levels of FSH and LH were evaluated and the E(2) level was decreased significantly (P<0.05). BSHXR could reduce the increased levels of FSH and LH, increase the level of E(2) and the number of growing and mature follicles. The efficacy of early treatment was better than that of late treatment. CONCLUSION: BSHXR can recover ovarian function in POF mice mainly by regulating the indiscriminate hormone level, and BSHXR has preventive effect on autoimmune POF in mice.
