Objective To explore the relationship between the level of morning blood pressure surge (MBPS) and High-sensitivity C-reactive protein( hs-CRP) in acute coronary events among old patients and to evaluate their clinical value. Methods One hundred and twenty - three patients with coronary disease were divided into two groups, each of which was old myocardial infarction(OMI, n = 55) and old myocardial infarction with acute cardiovascular syndrome (OMI + ACS, n =68). The control group includes the patients without coronary disease( n =50). The patients who have infection, malignant tumors, liver and kidney dysfunction, blood diseases, valvular heart diseases, congenital heart diseases, aortic dissection,secondary hypertension were not included. All groups were received 24 hours ambulatory blood pressure monitoring to calculate MBPS and the determination of hs-CRP in serum. Results Compared with each two groups, the levels of MBPS and hs-CRP in OMI group were significantly higher than those of the control group (0. 01 ＜ P ＜0. 05) , and had more significance in the other groups ( P ＜0.01). The levels of MBPS and hs-CRP had positive relationship in coronary events in the elderly ( r =0. 76, P ＜0. 01) . Conclusion The level of MBPS is positively correlated with serum hs-CRP which is one of key risk factors of inflammatory reactions by impairing vessels in body. The two factors both play important roles in the occurrence and the development of coronary events among old patients. They both have important clinical value in recurrent acute coronary events among old patients.

Objective:To explore the incidenee of early hematoma growth in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage,and the correlation between early hematoma growth and early neurological deterioration.Methods:The evaluation of nervous system and CT scan in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage within 3 hours after the omet of symptoms were performed respectively at baseline,and 1,2,3,and 20 hours after the baseline.Results:In 106 patients,CT scan shelwed that the volume of intraparenehymal hemorrhage inereased significantly in 26% of patients at baseline and within 1 hour.CT scan showed that the bleeding volume increased in 12% of patients at 1,2,3,and 20 hours.By measuring baseline,1-hour Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS)score,and the changes of the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS),it had found that the baseline status and the increased bleeding volume within 1 hour vdgre closely correlated with the clinical neurological deterioration.Conclusions:The early bleeding volume often inereases significantly in patiems with intracerebral hemorrhage,which is complicated with neurological deterioration.In order to determine whether these therapeutic measures improve the natural course of this early hematoma growth and decrease its occurrence,it is necessary to make a randomized clinical trial.

Objective To explore the impact of hyperglycemia on Hypersensitive C-reaction protein (hsCRP),B-type natriuretic peptide(BNP) and ventricular remodeling in elder patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods One hundred and twenty elder patients with AMI are divided into hyperglycemia group(blood sugar in admission ＞ 7.8 mmol/L) and non-glycemia group(blood sugar in admission ≤7.8 mmol/L).The levels of blood sugar in admission,hsCRP,BNP were detected.LVEF,LVEDD,LVESD,WMS were observed by cardiac echo in admission and two weeks after therapy.Results The blood sugar in admission,hsCRP and BNP of the patients in hyperglycemia group were (9.6 ± 0.6) mmol/L,(1 750.6 ±677.1) ng/L,(56.1 ±38.6) ng/L,higher than those in non-glycemia group (t =38.679 and P =0.000; t =11.941 and P =0.000; t =3.288 and P ＜0.01,respectively).LVEF,LVEDD,LVESD and WMS of patients in hyperglycemia group didn't show statistical significance before and after therapy.However,there were significant in hyperglycemia group (t =2.049 and P =0.043,t =2.836 and P =0.005,t =3.814 and P =0.000,t =2.086 and P =0.039,respectively).Conclusion Hyperglycemia can reduce the increase of hsCRP and BNP,which has an impact on hsCRP,BNP and ventricular remodeling in elder patients with acute myocardial infarction,but the mechanism need to further research.

Objective To compare the efficacy of transumbilical-ultrafine gastroscope sympathectomy for severe palmar hyperhidrosis using two distinct levels of T3 and T4.Methods A total of 84 cases with severe primary hyperhidrosis were randomly allocated to undergo either T3 sympathectomy treatment (T3 group, n =42) or T4 sympathectomy treatment (T4 group, n =42) with no difference between the two groups.The operation time, postoperative hospital stay, patient's hands hyperhidrosis, axillary hyperhidrosis,complications were recorded at follow-up in 1,3,6,12 months.Results Operation on 84 patients were successful with mean operative time of T3 group being 55.02 ± 10.61 min and T4 group being 55.36 ± 10.51 min(P ＞ 0.05).The mean postoperative hospital stay were both 1.5 days.Patients were followed up for diaphragmatic hernia, umbilical hernia, Horner's syndrome and other serious complications for 12 months.No postoperative recurrence of palmar hyperhidrosis, severe compensatory sweating occurred in either group.The number of improved patients in T3 group's palmar hyperhidrosis,axillary hyperhidrosis, and foot hyperhidrosis were :42/42 cases, 10/16 cases, 21/29 cases, while those in T4 group were: 42/42 cases,16/17 cases 18/28 cases.Axillary hyperhidrosis improved to a larger extent in T4 group than in T3 group (P ＜0.05).There were 16(15 mild and 1 moderate)compensatory sweating in T3 group and 7(6 mild and 1 moderate) compensatory sweating in T4 group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion T3 and T4 thoracic sympathectomy using transumbilical-ultrafine gastroscope for primary palmar hyperhidrosis are safe, effective, and feasible.T4 sympathectomy is more effective in improving axillary hyperhidrosis than T3 and shows lower occurrence of postoperative compensatory hyperhidrosis.

Objective To observe the prevention and treatment of the total flavonoids from Litchi chinensis Sonn( TFL) on hepatic fibrosis induced by dimethylnitrosamine(DMN)in rats, and to explore its mechanism. Methods Ninety SD rats were randomly divided into six groups, normal control group, model control group, colchicine group, high-, medium- and low-dose TFL group(n=15).Expect for normal control group, the other groups were given intraperitoneal injection of 2 mL.kg-1 of 5% dimethylnitrosamine for 4 weeks as the model group. The rats in the normal control group and model control group were given 5 mL.kg-1of 0.9% sodium chloride solution, colchicine group was treated with 0.1 mg.kg-1 colchicine.High-, medium-and low-dose TFL groups were given 200, 100 and 50 mg.kg-1 of TFL.The rats were sacrificed and the livers were harvested and stained with HE and Masson staining to observe pathological changes and liver fibrosis in the same part 6 weeks after all the medicine was given to the rats each day. Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting were used to detect the expression of the transforming growth factor β-Ⅰ/type Ⅱ receptor ( TβRⅠ/Ⅱ) , collagen Ⅰ( Col Ⅰ) and Ⅲ collagen ( Col Ⅲ) . Results Compared with the normal control group, the semiquantitative score of liver fiber and the protein expression of TβRⅠ, TβRⅡ, ColⅠ and Col Ⅲ in the model control group were significantly increased(P<0.01).Compared with the model control group, the protein expression levels of TβR, TβRⅡ, ColⅠand ColⅢwere significantly decreased( P<0.01) in the high-,medium-and low-dose TFL group.The semiquantitative score of liver fiber was significantly decreased( P<0.01) with a dose-effect relationship. Conclusion TFL can inhibit formation of DMN-induced liver fibrosis in rats, which may be related with reduction of expression of TβRⅠ/Ⅱ of hepatic fibrosis promoting factor TGF-β1 , inhibition of the activation and increase of hepatic stellate cells, reduction of the collagen content.
