Objective To investigate the influence factors of left ventricular hypertrophy ( LVH) in incipient systemic lupus erythe-matosus (SLE) patients with lupus nephritis (LN).Methods A total of 210 LN patients in the authors′centre were enrolled in this cross-section study .General information , laboratory measurements , examinations of left ventricular hypertrophy by ultrasonography were col -lected.Patients were divided into two groups according to left ventricular mass index (LVMI):left ventricle thickening (LVT) group (n=89) and left ventricle normal group (n=121).General information and laboratory results of two groups were statistically analyzed .In-fluence factors of the patients were analyzed with Spearman rank correlation and multiple linear regression .Results Serum uric acid and hyper-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were higher in left ventricular thickening (LVT)group, as compared with those in left ventricle normal group .Hemoglobin and estimated glomerular filtration rate ( eGFR) in LVT group were significantly lower than those in left ventricle normal group (P<0.05).Spearman rank correction indicated that LVH was positively correlated with serum uric acid and hs-CRP (r=0.283、0.327, all P<0.05).LVH was negatively correlated with hemoglobin and eGFR (r=-0.232, -0.186, all P<0.05).Multiple linear regression showed hs -CRP and hemoglobin correlated with LVH (β=0.235、-0.206, all P<0.05).Conclu-sion Inflammatory state and anemia were risk factors of LVH in LN patients .

Objective To observe the effect of Bacillus coagulans tablets Combined with minus Xiaoyao powder, Nifuratel nystatin soft capsule in treatment of VVC. Methods A total of 108 cases of VVC. patients were randomly divided into 2 groups:observation group and control group. In the observation group (n=54), patients were given vaginal placement of Nifuratel nystatin soft capsule, 1 capsule daily, for 6 days;oral administration of minus Xiaoyao powder, 1 agent daily, for 7 days; and oral administration of Bacillus coagulans tablets, 3 tablets one time, 3 times a day, for 14 days, double dose at first. In control group (54 cases), patients were given vaginal placement of Nifuratel nystatin soft capsule, 1 capsule daily, for 6 days;and oral placement of vitamin C tablet, 1 tablet one time, 3 times a day,for 14 days. The short-term effect and the long-term recurrence of were observed 3-7 days, 1 months, 3 months, 6 months after stopping drug treatment. Results 3 days after stopping drugs, the effective rate in the observation group and the control group was 92.59%and 81.48%, respectively, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05) . 6 months after stopping drugs, the recurrence rate was 9.26% in the observation group, and 20.37% in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05) . Conclusion For Vaginal candidiasis, on the basis of antifungal therapy, giving Bacillus coagulans tablets for regulation of intestinal micro ecological environment, and traditional Chinese medicine minus Xiaoyao powder for clearing heat and removing dampness, soothing the liver, can significantly improve the short term and long term curative effects,and reduce the recurrence rate.

Objective:To investigate the best compatibility plan for nitroprusside sodium for injection. Methods: An L16 (43 × 26 ) orthogonal design was used with four factors:temperature, solvent, solvent volume and time. The content of sodium nitroprusside was detected by HPLC, the insoluble particles were observed by a GWF-5J type particle analyzer, pH was detected by a PHS-2C preci-sion acidity meter, and a comprehensive scoring method was used to optimize the compatibility plan. Results:The optimized compati-bility plan was as follows:50mg sodium nitroprusside was dissolved in 250ml sodium chloride injections, avoiding light and used up in 26h. Conclusion:The plan provides scientific basis for the clinical medication.

Objective:To evaluate the compatible stability of sodium nitroprusside for injection ( SNP) in two kinds of solutions (5% glucose and sodium chloride injections) . Methods:A, B, C and D solution of SNP was respectively prepared according to the concentration of clinical use. The stability of SNP solution was studied in different environment with different storing time, and the as-sessment indices included the appearance, insoluble particles, pH value, ultraviolet-visible absorption spectrum and SNP content. Re-sults:The SNP solutions in 5% glucose and sodium chloride injections were stable in 26 hours in photophobic condition at 20℃ and 35℃. Under an incandescent lamp with or without lightproof, the solutions were very unstable. Conclusion:Both sodium chloride and 5% glucose injections can be used as the solvent for SNP with 26h stability. SNP injections prepared and used in clinics should be pre-served away from light to ensure the safety and effectiveness.

AIM: To investigate the effect of hypercapnia on hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension and the changes of lysyl oxidase (LOX) and extracellular matrix collagen cross-links in the rat.METHODS: Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: normoxia group, hypoxia group, hypercapnia group and hypoxia+hypercapnia group.LOX activity was detected by fluorescence spectrophotometry.LOX protein expression was detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blot.The mRNA expression of LOX in the pulmonary artery was detected by real-time PCR.RESULTS: The levels of mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP), RV/(LV+S) and WA/TA in hypoxia group were significantly higher than those in normoxia group (P<0.01).Moreover, the levels of mPAP and RV/(LV+S) in hypoxia+hypercapnia group were significantly lower than those in hypoxia group (P<0.01).However, no significant difference of mPAP and RV/(LV+S) between hypercapnia group and normoxia group was observed.In hypoxia group, the collagen cross-links in the lung tissue was significantly higher than that in normoxia group and hypercapnia group (P<0.01).Importantly, collagen cross-links in the lung tissue of hypoxia+hypercapnia group was significantly lower than that in hypoxia group (P<0.01).There was no significant difference in collagen cross-links between hypercapnia group and normoxia group.The expression of LOX at mRNA and protein levels and its activity in the pulmonary arteries of hypoxia group were significantly increased as compared with normoxia group (P<0.01).Furthermore, the expression of LOX at mRNA and protein levels and its activity in the pulmonary arteries in hypoxia+hypercapnia group were lower than those in hypoxia group (P<0.01).CONCLUSION: Hypoxia not only up-regulates LOX but also promotes collagen cross-linking in the rat lung, which contributes to the development of pulmonary hypertension.Hypercapnia inhibits hypoxia-induced LOX expression and collagen cross-linking, therefore impairing the progress in hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension.

The clinical, pathological features and diagnostic methods of one case of adult-onset neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID) were analyzed. The patient was 61-year-old female presented with progressive cognitive impairment, episodic unconsciousness, stroke-like attack and paroxysmal digestive tract symptoms. Diffusion-weighted images showed high signals at the cerebral cortico-medullary junction with lace-type distribution, which persisted. Skin biopsy revealed intranuclear inclusion bodies in adipocytes, fibroblasts, and sweat gland cells. This case suggests that adult neuronal nuclear inclusion disease is a chronically progressive neurodegenerative disease with a highly clinical heterogeneity. The subcortical lace sign and eosinophilic intranuclear inclusion bodies by skin biopsy contribute to the diagnosis.
