BACKGROUND: As a reliable marker of inflammation, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) plays an important role in atherogenesis. Recently, it is assumed in researches of recent years that chronic inflammation mediated by ICAM-1 is involved in hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy probably, but there are still some objections reported. Tanshinone ⅡA is a kind of liposoluble extract from danshen(Radix Salviae Mitiorrhizae) . It is verified in animal experiment that it can inhibit hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between ICAM-1 and hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy and the effect of tanshinone ⅡA on expression of ICAM-1.DESIGN:A randomized controlled observation was designed.SETTING: Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology.MATERIALS: The experiment was performed in the Laboratory of Emergency Department of Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from October 2002 to January 2004. Ten male WKY rats(10 WKY rats) of 12-week-old and 20 rats with spontaneous hypertension(20 SHR rats) were employed and divided into the control group(10 WKY rats), hypertension group(10 SHR rats) and tanshinone ⅡA group(10 SHR rats).injected from caudal vein for treatment and distilled water at the same dose was injected in the other two groups. Twelve weeks later, the rats were sacrificed and myocardium was collected for specimen preparation. Haematoxylin and eosin(HE) staining, VG staining, immunocytochemical staining and myocardial ED1 labeling were applied to determine myocardial macrophage infiltration degree. The reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) were used to determine the expressions of ICAM-1 mRNA and protein.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Degree of macrophages infiltration and the expressions of ICAM-1 mRNA and protein in myocardium in each group.RESULTS: Twelve SHR and 10 WKY rats were employed in the experiment pared with the control group, ICAM-1 mRNA and protein expressions in hypertrophic myocardium were increased significantly in hypertension group (0.176±0.087,0.537±0.195;0.104±0.011,0.173±0.027, P <0.01or P < 0.05) . Infiltration of macrophage was significant(0. 62 ±0.07,non Ⅱ A group, the expressions of ICAM-1 mRNA and protein were decreased significantly(0. 537 ±0. 195, 0.291 ±0. 106; 0. 173 ±0.027, 0. 125± 0. 014, P < 0.01 or P < 0. 05); the amount of macrophages infiltration was decreased(1.85 ±0. 23, 1.16 ±0. 17, P < 0.05) and the degree of cardiomyocytic hypertrophy and interstitial fibrosis was remarkably relieved.CONCLUSION: Excessive expression of myocardial ICAM-1 and its mediated inflammatory cellular infiltration plays an important role in hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy. The inhibition of tanshinone ⅡA on left ventricular hypertrophy may be contributed to decreased expression of ICAM-1 and alleviated inflammatory cellular infiltration in myocardium.

Background and purpose:The clinical relevance of HBV infection with respect to diffuse large B cell lymphoma(DLBCL) patients and immune patterns of T lymphocyte subsets during chemotherapy remains unclear. This study aimed to identify the characteristics of T-cell mediated immunity in DLBCL patients with HBV infection, thereafter, to explore the possible cell-mediated immune mechanisms of HBsAg positive HBV infection on the survival of DLBCL. Methods:A total of 294 newly diagnosed DLBCL patients were enrolled in this cohort study. Four-color flow cytometric method was used to enumerate the absolute number of CD3+, CD4+, CD8+T lymphocytes and the CD4+/CD8+ratio in peripheral blood samples, at the onset of disease, 2-4, 4-6 and 6-12 months after the initiation of chemotherapy, individually. Results:The absolute number of CD3+, CD4+, CD8+T lymphocytes in both groups were similar at the onset of disease;the count of CD4+lymphocytes was lower in HBsAg positive group during 2 to 4 months after the initiation of chemotherapy, compared with that in the HBsAg negative group. During 4 to 12 months after chemotherapy, the CD4+/CD8+ratio in peripheral blood samples was significantly lower in HBsAg positive group. Conclusion:For newly diagnosed DLBCL patients who received chemotherapy, the dynamic nature of cell mediated immune response was characterized as a low counts of CD4+T lymphocyte during the ifrst several cycles of chemother-apy followed by a decreased circulating CD4+/CD8+ratio. Depressions of cell immunity after chemotherapy in HBsAg positive DLBCL patients were greater and prolonged.

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of Ba-pulling and Qian-traction manipulation with neck suspension and movement for acute cervical radiculopathy. Methods: A total of 85 patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomized into an observation group and a control group by random numbers, with 43 cases in the observation group and 42 cases in the control group. The observation group was treated with Ba-pulling and Qian-traction manipulation with neck suspension and movement;while the control group was treated with Bashen-pulling and stretching manipulation in a supine position. The treatment was performed once a day, 10 times as a treatment course. The therapeutic efficacy was evaluated after 1 treatment course, and the changes in the scores of visual analog scale (VAS) and neck disability index (NDI) were observed. Results: The total effective rate was 97.7% in the observation group, and 83.3% in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, the VAS and NDI scores of both groups were significantly decreased (both P<0.01), and the differences in the VAS and NDI scores between the two groups were statistically significant (both P<0.01). Conclusion: Both Ba-pulling and Qian-traction manipulation with neck suspension and movement and Bashen-pulling and stretching manipulation in a supine position can relieve pain and improve cervical function in patients with acute cervical radiculopathy, and Ba-pulling and Qian-traction manipulation with neck suspension and movement can produce more significant efficacy than Bashen-pulling and stretching manipulation in a supine position.

OBJECTIVETo assess the clinical effectiveness of volar and radial column approach by plate fixation for the treat- ment of unstable fracture of distal radius.
METHODSAccording to Cochrane Systematic Review, Medline, Embase, Cochrane Li- brary, CNKI and CBM, randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of volar and radial column approach by plate fixation for the treat- ment of unstable fracture of distal radius were searched for from 1966 to 2014. Data analysis was performed with the Cochrane Collaboration's RevMan 5.0 software.
RESULTSTotally 391 patients of 6 RCTs and 2 retrospective cohort studys were included and divided into volar plate group (187 cases) and radial column plate group (204 cases). Meta-analysis result showed: compared with radial column plate group, volar plate group had significant difference in recovery of wrist function [SMD = 0.74, 95% CI (0.47, 1.01), P < 0.00001], Gartland-Werley scores [SMD = -1.39, 95% CI (-2.24, -0.53), P = 0.001], postoperative neural in- jury [OR = 3.67, 95% CI (1.37, 9.84), P = 0.01 1 and postoperative wrist pain [OR = 0.32, 95% CI (0.13, 0.74), P = 0.008]. But no significant difference was identified in DASH scores [SMD = -0.36, 95% CI (-0.97, 0.26), P = 0.25], radiographic result assess- ment [SMD = -0.18, 95% CI (-0.53, 0.16), P = 0.3], postoperative grip strength [SMD = 0.71, 95% CI (-0.12, 1.54),P = 0.09], postoperative tendinous damage [OR = 0.31, 95% CI (0.10, 0.98), P = 0.05] and carpal tunnel syndrome [OR = 0.96, 95% CI (0.63, 1.48), P = 0.87].
CONCLUSIONCompared with radial column plate internal fixation, volar approach plate fixation for treat- ment of distal radius intra-articular fracture has advantage of recovery of joint functionand. However, the volar approach plate fix- ation was associated with a higher risk of long-term complications than the radial column approach plate fixation.
