Objective To investigate the effect of aspirin combined with atorvastatin in the treatment of diabetic atherosclerosis.Methods 120 patients with diabetic atherosclerosis form August 2014 to February 2016 were selected,and randomly divided into treatment group and control group,60 cases in each group.Control group treated with aspirin enteric-coated tablets,the treatment group treated with aspirin enteric-coated tablets combined with atorvastatin,comparing the two groups before and after treatment of fasting blood glucose,blood lipid related index,carotid intima-media thickness and plaque thickness,and the adverse reactions.Results After treatment, the levels of fasting blood glucose and fasting insulin in treatment group were significantly lower than control group(P<0.05),the carotid intima-media thickness and plaque thickness in treatment group was significantly lower than control group(P<0.05).The levels of TG,TC,LDL-C and HDL-C in treatment group were significantly improved(P <0.05).Conclusion Aspirin enteric coated tablets combined with atorvastatin efficacy significantly in the treatment of diabetic atherosclerosis.

Protein arginine methyltransferase (PRMT) can methylate a variety of proteins,including histones and non-histones,affecting a variety of cellular processes such as transcription,RNA splicing,DNA repair,and cell cycle control.The activity of PRMT is affected by a variety of regulatory mechanisms,and its abnormal expression plays an important role in the development of the diseases,especially in tumors such as breast cancer and leukemia.PRMT has a unique value in the diagnosis or treatment of tumors.With the further exploration of PRMT methylation mechanism,PRMT selective inhibitors have made some progress.PRMT-specific inhibitors are expected to be targeted drugs for the treatment of tumors.

Objective To analyze the clinical features, laboratory findings, electroencephalography (EEG) and neuroimaging of the neurosyphilis presented with parkinsonism as the principal manifestation to improve the diagnosis of neurosyphilis. Methods Eight eurosyphilis patients were from department of neurology of Hainan provincial people’s hospital from early July 2010 to December 2014. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical manifestation, laboratory exami?nations, neuroimaging examinations, diagnosis and treatment outcomes of 8 cases neurosyphilis who presented with par?kinsonism as principal manifestation. Results Myotonia and bradykinesia were principal symptoms in these 8 cases. Limb tremor, posture disorder, abnormal mental behavior and cognitive impairment occurred in some patients. Serum treponema pallidum particle agglutination (TPPA) and toluidine red untreated serum test (TRUST)were positive in 8 cas?es. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) protein and cell counts were elevated in all the patients. CSF-TPPA and TRUST were posi?tive in all the patients. The MRI showed that cerebral infarction in basal ganglia, cerebral atrophy in temporal lobe and hippocampus and ventricular enlargement in all the patients. EEG showed abnormal activity in all the patients. After treatment with a large dose of penicillin, clinical symptoms were obviously improved;the titer of serum and CSF TRUST decreased;and scores of UPDRS decreased in all the patients. Conclusions There is a wide variation in the clinical man?ifestation of the neurosyphilis. When patients present with Parkinsonism, we should comprehensively analyze the laborato?ry examinations, EEG and neuroimaging to rule out the possibility of neurosyphilis.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of cerebral infarction in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods Elderly patients with type 2 diabetes complicated with cerebral infarction from August 2014 to March 2016 in our hospital were selected as observation group of 70 cases, elderly patients with type 2 diabetes alone of 70 cases as control group.The related indicators were compared between two groups, then the indicators with statistical difference were included into the multiple Logistic aggression analysis.Results There were significant difference between two groups of waist to hip ratio (WHR), body mass index (BMI), fasting blood glucose (FBG), 2h postprandial blood glucose (2h PBG), fasting insulin (FINS), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C), triglyceride (TG) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C).The multiple Logistic aggression analysis showed BMI,TG,LDL-C,FINS,2hPBG and WHR were risk factors in elderly type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated with cerebral infarction. Conclusion There are many risk factors in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes complicated with cerebral infarction, higher blood sugar, higher blood lipid and higher body mass index as the independent risk factors, which should be payed attention to and prevent the occurrence of cerebral infarction.

Objective To study the correlations between bone fracture types and healing time in patients with osteofluorosis. Methods Thirty-seven patients with osteefluorosis and long tubular bone fracture were diagnosed in accordance with radiogram retrospectively. The fractures were divided into two groups: sclerotic and osteoporotic. Twenty four fractured patients with non osteofluorosis were included in the study as controls. All of the patients had operation(open reduction and nickelclad internal fixation). Fracture healing in patients with sclerotic and osteoporotic groups was compared with the control group after operation. Results There were notable differenees(F=4.30,P< 0.05) in term of fracture healing time among the three groups [sclerotic group:(18.4±5.3)weeks; osteoporotic group: (24.5±5.1)weeks; control group: (17.6±3.8)weeks]. Notably, there were significant differences between the osteoporotic and control groups(q=2.34,P<0.05), and between sclerotic and osteoporotic gronps(q=2.51, P<0.05). The healing time of the osteoporotic group was longer than that of sclerotic group. The constituent ratios of fracture healing in sclerotic, osteoporotic and control groups were 73.1% (19/26) ,54.5% (6/11),75.0% (18/24) respectively, and the differences among the three groups were statistically significant(X2=3.67,P<0.05). The healing rate of the osteoporotic group was lower than that of sclerotic and control groups(X2=3.12, 3.36, all P< 0.05). The constituent ratios of healing in the sclerotic, osteoporotic and control groups were 26.9% (7/26),45.5% (5/11),25.0%(6/24), respectively, and there differences among the three groups were statistically significant (X2=4.07 ,P<0.05). The delayed healing rate of the osteoperotic group was higher than those of the sclerotic and control groups(X2= 3.87,3.95, all P<0.05). Conclusions Fracture healing time of osteoporotic osteofluorosis after fracture is longer than normal, and the cause might be the loss of bone mass.

Periventricular white matter damage is one of the characteristics of brain damage in preterm infants, and it is the most important type of encephalopathy. The pathological changes including the white matter of coagulation necrosis, oligodendrocyte damage, myelin damage, axonal injury and reactive gliosis and microglia infiltration in necrotic areas. All of these lesions are closely related to the nervous system sequelae in later-neonatal period. The pathogenesis of periventricular leukomalacia in premature infants are mainly cause by its immature brain vascular, and precursor oligodendrocytes of the attack of hypoxia, ischemia, infection, oxygen free radicals, inflammatory cytokines, increasing glutamate, and other high-risk factors. In this paper, an overview of progress in the study of the pathogenesis of periventricular white matter damage in premature infants through literature review to provide a theoretical support for clinical prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

AIM: To investigate the effects and mechanism of enalapril on nephritis of diabetic mice. METHODS: Diabetes was induced by injection of streptozotocin after uninephrectomy. Rats were randomly divided into three groups: control, diabetes, diabetes treated with enalapril (10 mg?kg~-1 ?d~-1 by gavage). 8 weeks after STZ injection, urine albumin excretion rate (AER) were measured, and glomerular morphology were observed by light microscopy. The levels of malonyldialdehyde (MDA) in renal tissue and urine as well as activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) in renal tissue were determined. Immunohistochemistry for ED-1 (macrophage marker), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) were performed by streptavidin-biotin complex (SABC) technique. RESULTS: Increased kidney weight, ratio of kidney weight to body weight, AER and expansion of mesangial as well as tuft areas on histological examination of the kidney were significantly attenuated by the treatment of enalapril (P

Objective To evaluate the left ventricular(LV) torsion and rotation in normal subjects using vector velocity imaging.Methods LV basal and apical short-axis images were captured in 10 healthy individuals to estimate LV torsion and rotation using routine 2-dimensional echocardiography and vector velocity imaging. Results As viewed from LV apex,the systolic basal rotation was clockwise (negative value),and apical rotation was counterclockwise (positive Value). The apical peak systolic rotational velocity was significantly higher than the basal [endo:(150±62)°/s vs (114±65)°/s;epi:(81±40)°/s vs (55±28)°s,respectively,P＜0.01]. The peak systolic endocardial rotational velocity and rotation was significantly higher than epicardial rotational velocity and rotation[basal:(-114±65)°/s vs (-55±28)°/s,(-12±6)°vs (-4±1)°;apical:(150±62)°s vs (81±40)°s,(10±4)°vs(6±2)°,respectivelv,P＜0.05]. There were no significant differences in the time to peak systolic rotational velocity/rotation between basal endocardium/epicardium and apical endocardium/epicardium. Conclusions Vector velocity imaging can assess LV torsion and rotation non-invasively,and normal LV has a kind of characteristic motion of torsion.

Objective To detect peripheral blood level of CD4+ CD25high CD127low regulatory T (Treg) cells in patients with B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) and to explore its clinical significance.Methods The levels of peripheral blood CD4+ CD25high CD127low Treg cells of 100 newly diagnosed patients with B-NHL and 50 healthy adults were detected and analyzed by flow cytometry.Results The levels of peripheral blood CD4+ CD25high CD12low Treg cells were 5.00 ％ and 7.20 ％ in healthy adults and newly diagnosed B-NHL patients,respectively.The difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.001).The level of peripheral blood CD4+ CD25high CD127low Treg cells was significantly higher in the male patients than that in the female (P ＜ 0.01).The level of peripheral blood CD4+ CD25high CD127low Treg cells was significantly higher in elevated LDH patients than that in normal LDH patients (P ＜ 0.01).The level of peripheral blood CD4+ CD25high CD127low Treg cells in stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ patients was significantly higher than that in stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ patients (P ＜ 0.01).The level of peripheral blood CD4+ CD25high CD127low Treg cells in B symptom patients was significantly higher than that in no B symptom patients (P ＜ 0.01).There was no significant relationship between the level of peripheral blood Treg cells and age,IPI score,bulky disease or pathologic subtype (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions B-NHL patients were in an immunosuppresive statue.Male,elevated LDH level,B symptom and Ⅲ-Ⅳ stage were correlated with higher level of peripheral blood CD4+ CD25high CD127low Treg cells.Level of peripheral blood Treg cells may be a useful prognostic factor for B-NHL.
