Objective To study changes of serum IL-17 and IL-35 levels in patients with heart failure. Methods 60 patients with heart failure (observation group)were selected as research subjects.60 patients accord-ing to different severity were divided into acute period heart failure (34 cases)and stable stage heart failure (26 ca-ses);60 patients graded according to the NYHA standards were divided into 24 cases of heart failure with grade Ⅱ, 20 cases of grade Ⅲ ,16 cases of grade Ⅳ.According to the different primary diseases :expansion cardiomyopathy group (20 cases in group A),the coronary heart disease group (group B,24 cases),hypertensive heart disease group (group C,16 cases).During the same period,42 healthy elderly people in our hospital were selected as control group. The serum IL-17,IL-35 levels were tested,and the serum IL-17,IL-35 levels in patients with heart failure were ana-lyzed.Results Serum level of IL-17 in the observation group was higher than the control group,and the difference was significant [(15.61 ±4.02)pg/mL vs (9.49 ±3.96)pg/mL,t =9.018,P <0.01].Serum level of IL-35 in the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group,and the difference was significant[(52.78 ± 4.29)pg/mL vs (61.49 ±4.81)pg/mL,t =11.963,P <0.01].The level of serum IL-17 in acute stage of patients with heart failure was higher than that of stable heart failure,and the difference was significant (t =6.278,P <0.01);IL-35 level in serum of patients with heart failure in acute phase was lower than that of stable heart failure,the difference was significant (t =9.529,P <0.01).With the increase in heart failure grade,serum IL-17 level showed a rising trend,and the differences among three groups had statistical differences (F =6.098,P <0.01);serum IL-35 level decreased,and the differences among three groups had statistical differences(F =8.978,P <0.01).The serum IL-17 level of A group was higher than that in B group and C group,there were significant differences (F =6.096, P <0.01),the serum IL-17 level between B group and C group had no statistical difference (t =0.172,P >0.05). The serum IL-35 level of A group was lower than that of B group and C group,there were significant differences (F =8.978,P <0.01),the serum IL-35 level between B group and C group had no statistical difference (t =0.208,P >0.05).Serum IL-17 and serum IL-35 level was negatively correlated (r =-0.429,P =0.009).Conclusion High expression of IL-17 in elderly patients with heart failure,while IL-35 decreased in elderly patients with heart failure, IL-17,IL-35 are closely related to the senile congestive heart failure and the severity of illness.Serum IL-17 is nega-tively correlated with the level of serum IL-35.

The concept of modern medicine in treating chronic heart failure (CHF) has changed markedly in recent years. To improve the quality of life and prolong life, the treatment goal is no longer just temporary improvement of symptoms, more importantly, is to prevent and delay the occurrence and development of ventricular remodeling. Long-term chronic over-activation of sympathetic system, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and other neuroendocrine factors promotes myocardial remodeling, increases myocardial injury and deteriorates cardiac function. Despite short-term use can significantly improve the blood flow dynamics, long-term use of beta-adrenergic receptor stimulators and phosphodiesterase inhibitors does not prolong life, but increases the rate of sudden death caused by cardiac arrhythmia. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and beta-blockers have become the preferred drugs in treating chronic heart failure. In fact, after long-term use, beta-blockers can significantly improve ventricular remodeling, enhance ventricular function and reduce the incidence of sudden death of patients with CHF. In traditional Chinese medicine practice, short-term use of drugs for warming yang and reinforcing qi can improve symptoms of CHF, but long-term use may have adverse effects, for these medicines can stimulate sympathetic system. Early treatment with medicines of cold and cool property may be more favorable to patients with CHF, except the advanced patients who need special intervention. Eliminating heat and nourishing yin may play more active role in controlling the occurrence and development of CHF. Drugs with good efficacy and value in treating CHF may be developed from the Chinese herbal medicines with eliminating heat and nourishing yin property.

Objective To explore the early diagnosis of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (LDVT)and evaluate the therapeutic effect of anticoagulant therapy in hospitalized patients with acute ischemic stroke. Methods According to Wells model for suspecting lower extremity deep venous thrombosis,patients with suspected LDVT were confirmed by compression ultrasonography. If the patients diagnosed with LDVT had no contraindications to anticoagulant therapy,they were treated with low molecular weight heparin(LMWH)subcutaneous injection and oral warfarin at the same time.The dosage of oral warfarin was determined by Roberts'age adjusted warfarin loading protocol.LMWH was stopped when the patients'international normalized ratio(INR)was 2.0~3.0 for two consecutive days. Results From January 2003 to August 2007,2067 cases with acute ischemic stroke were admitted to the department of neurology in Huizhou Municipal Central Hospital including 18 cases with LDVT and the incidence was 0.9%.The patients with LDVT all had paralytic extremities including 13 left legs and 5 right legs with deep vein thrombosis.All the 18 cases were treated by anticoagulant including 17 cases with oral warfarin treatment for 3 months.Symptoms in all LDVT patients were eliminated.12 cases had been observed for one year and 5 cases for three months after they stopped taking warfatin.There were no patients with pulmonary thromboembolism and LDVT recurrence. Conclusions By using Wells model for suspecting LDVT,patients with acute ischemic stroke-complicated LDVT can be timely diagnosed.The goal of prompt and enough anticoagulant can be achieved according to Roberts'age adjusted warfarin loading protocol.Because of racial difference,population difference and other unknown factors,the incidence of acute ischemic stroke patients with complicated LDVT is much lower in Huizhou.It suggests that it should be unnecessary to use LMWH in patients with acute ischemic stroke to prevent LDVT in Huizhou.

Objective To synthesize a novel vector of chitosan-particles loaded with gadolinium (Gd-CPs) and observe the adhesion and absorption of the particles in the colon wall of mice with MR imaging in-vivo.Methods Chitosan particles (CPs) with and without gadolinium loaded were synthesized with the emulsion-droplet coalescence method.Sixteen mice were randomly classified into two groups.The suspension with Gd-CPs or with CPs was infused into the rectum of the 8 mice of each group,respectively.MR scans were performed before,during and 40 minutes after infusion for each mouse.Samples of the colon correlated to the enhanced area were obtained for electron microscopy examination.Signal intensity (SI) of ROIs in the wall of rectum or colon,muscles of the pelvis near the rectum and background were measured and corresponding relative SIs were calculated.Relative SI values between the two groups and pre- and post- infusion were compared with pared t test.Results Dimension of the Gd-CPs was about 500 nm,and content rate was about 30%. Values of relative SI of the rectum for pre- and post- infusion in the Gd-CPs group were 0.84±0.06 and 0.98±0.09(t=4.327,P<0.01),respectively,while those in CPs group were 0.83±0.04 and 0.84±0.05(t=0.658.P>0.05). The medial value of signal increase rate for CPs group was 19.0%.Gd-CPs particles were found inside the mucosal cells under the electron microscopy.Conclusion MR imaging in-vivo can reveal the phenomenon of adhesion and absorption of mucosa targeted chitosan particle carriers. Clinical MR imaging based on small animal coil is a good method to monitor colon mucosa targeted particle vectors in-vivo.
