Objective The study aimed to analyze the clinical data of patients with pulmonary embolism and summarize the clinical characteristics of pulmonary embolism,in order to improve the correct diagnostic rate and the prognosis. Methods Data of 178 patients who were cured in our hospital from January 2011 to December 2014 were analyzed retrospectively,including relative risk factors,clinical behaviors,examination data,misdiagnosis and prognosis. Results Patients with pulmonary embolism had related basic diseases and risk factors. Their clinical symptoms,signs and ordinary detection methods indicated pneumatorexis and cardiovascular injury,but lacked of specificity. The misdiagnosis rate of the first diagnosis was 48.88%,including 22 cases of the misdiagnosis to COPD, 18 cases to pneumonia and 16 cases to coronary heart disease. The misdiagnosis rate of elderly patients was 56.36%, while that of the young and middle-aged patients was 36.80%,the difference was statistically significant,P < 0.05. Computed tomography pulmonary angiography(CTPA)could accurately observe the pathological changes of pulmonary embolism,and all the patients were diagnosed by CTPA in the research. 11 cases(10%)of elderly patients died,while 2 cases(2.9%)happened in young and middle-aged patients. There was no statistical significant difference(P > 0.05). Conclusion Although the related risk factors of pulmonary embolism in patients existed,the misdiagnosed rate of the disease was high and prognosis was poor due to many confusing basic diseases. And the symptoms,signs and ordinary inspection of the patients lacked specificity. CTPA,being utilized to diagnose pulmonary embolism reliably,should be promoted.

Aim To investigate the the protective effects of a novel recombinant Trichinella spiralis 38 ku protein ( rTsP38 ) on intestinal I/R injury and the po-tential mechanisms. Methods Male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into sham group ( group S) , in-jury group ( group I) , rTsP38 vaccinated group ( group T) and adjuvants vaccinated group ( group A ) , and received subcutaneously phosphate buffer solution (PBS), PBS, rTsP38, or adjuvants, respectively, at 2-week intervals 6 weeks before the surgical proce-dure. Results Intestinal I/R caused severe intestinal injury evidenced by significant increases in modified Chiu 's score and neutrophils infiltration, accompanied by decreases in daily food intake and body weight. The mRNA level of arginase-1 ( Arg-1 ) was decreased and the mRNA level of inducible nitric oxide synthase 2 ( NOS2) was increased in group I. RTsP38 significant-ly ameliorated intestinal injury and improved intestinal function following intestinal I/R accompanied by de-crease in neutrophils infiltration and increase in cell proliferation in the intestine, compared to mice without rTsP38 pretreatment. Fold changes of Arg-1 mRNA level were significantly increased in group T. Conclu-sions These findings indicate that rTsP38 exerts pro-tection on intestinal I/R injury in mice via promoting M2 macrophages polarization.

To probe the effect of paeoniflorin on periovular granuloma and liver fibrosis in mice infected with Schistosoma japonicum in different times of infection and the treatment with praziquantel (PZQ). The models of hepatic fibrosis induced by S.japonicum were established by exposure of BALB/c mice percutaneously through the tail to cercariae of S.japonicum. and mice with treatment were randomly divided into 3 groups: i.e. groups of pre-treatment (I), group of simultaneous treatment (Ⅱ) and group of post-treatment (III). All groups, except the normal control group, were orally introduced with PZQ. And mice in the paeoniflorin-treated group and control group were separately introduced with paeoniflorin and 0.5% sodium carboxymethycellulose respectively. The treatments in group I, II and III were started 30 days before PZQ usage, simultaneously with PZQ or 30days-after PZQ usage respectively. Mice in these groups were sacrificed on the 102, 132 or 162 days after infection. Then the serum levels of hyaluronic acid (HA), amino-terminal peptide of type III procollagen (PIIIP) and liver hydroxyproline (Hyp) were detected. The histopathology was examined by HE and Masson staining; the degree of hepatic fibrosis and the area of egg granuloma were analyzed. The expression of collagen I was examined by immunohistochemical method. It was found that the area of granuloma and degree of hepatic fibrosis in the paeoniflorin-treated groups in group I and III were significantly lower than those in the model control groups. Also, paeoniflorin could induce decreas expression of collagen I. Meanwhile the levels of serum HA, PIIIP and liver Hyp were all reduced in comparison with those in the control group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). However, in group Ⅱ, no significant difference was noted between the treated and the control group in most data. Paeoniflorin also showed the effects to reduce the size of periovular granuloma and to reduce the expression of type I collagen, thereby to resist the development of hepatic fibrosis caused by S. japonicum.-It is evident that PAE shows an efficaciously therapeutic effect on the development of liver fibrosis of shistosomiasis, whenever it is administered before or after the usage of schistosomicides.
