OBJECTIVETo observe thee efficacy of different ways of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for treating elderly coronary heart disease (CHD) patients.

METHODSTotally 470 elderly CHD patients were classified to three age brackets (equal to or more than 85 years old, 60 to 74 years old, 75 to 84 years old). They were assigned to the transradial intervention (TRI) group (236 cases) and the transfemoral intervention (TFI) group (234 cases) according to different intervention pathways. Correlated indices and postoperative clinical efficacy were compared between the two groups.

RESULTSA higher successful rate of surgery was obviously got in patients 85 years old or older than 85 than in those 60 to 74 years old and 75 to 84 years old (P <0. 05). The incidence of major cardiovascular events (MACE) was reduced at post-operative 12 and 24 months in patients 85 years old or older than 85 (P <0. 05). The case number for changing intervention pathway were increased in the TRI group with statistical difference (P <0. 05). Compared with the TFI group, the case number for changing intervention pathway was increased; the time for arteriopuncture, the time for catheterization, and the time for X-ray exposure were prolonged; the time for postoperative bedding were obviously shortened; the incidence of vascular complications at the puncture site were lowered. The incidence of postoperative 12-month MACE was lowered, all with statistical difference (all P <0. 05). The incidence of MACE within postoperative 24-month MACE decreased in patients 60 to 74 years old and 75 to 84 years old (P <0. 05). The incidence of MACE within postoperative 24 months increased in patients 85 years old or older than 85 of the TRI group with statistical difference (P <0. 05).

CONCLUSIONTRI can be preferably chosen for PC in treating elderly CHD patients.

BACKGROUND:Wnt signal pathway is involved in the regulation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells differentiating into osteoblasts, promotes osteoblasts proliferation and differentiation, inhibits programmed death of osteoblasts, and indirectly affects the function of osteoclasts.
OBJECTIVE:To summarize the relationship between Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway and bone disease.
METHODS:A computer-based online search was performed to find papers published between January 2000 and January 2014 in CNKI database and Elsevier database. The key words were“Wnt/β-catenin, osteoblasts, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, osteoarthritis, chondrocytes”in Chinese. Documents concerning the effects of Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway on osteoblasts and bone disease were included.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Wnt signaling pathway is consisted of Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway (Wnt typical signal pathway), Wnt/Ca2+signal pathway and Wnt/planar cellpolarity signal pathway. Wnt signaling pathway is one of the most important regulatory systems that plays a key role in modulating the differentiation, proliferation and programmed celldeath of osteoblasts, osteoclasts and chondrocytes. The role of Wnt signal pathway in patients with rheumatoid arthritis is mediated by osteoblasts. The inhibitory factor of Wnt signal pathway in osteoblasts is upregulated, which reduces the ratio of osteoprotegerin/receptor activating factor ligand, promotes the osteoclasts differentiation and immaturation. The researches addressing the components and effect of Wnt signal pathway are important for the special treatment of bone diseases and the prevention of osteoporosis or other bone diseases.

Gestational hyperlipidemic pancreatitis is an uncommon complication of pregnancy that incurs a high risk of morbidity and mortality of both maternal and fetal patients.We described the response of continous renal replacement therapy in a woman with extreme gestational hyperlipidemia and severe pancreatitis.Five consecutive plasma exchanges didn't lead to a remarkable reduction(10.4% and 4.8%,for the first and fourth times,respectively) at triglyceride levels as the literatures have reported,which reveals that plasma exchange and continous veno-venous heamofiltration may be importment,instead of crucial methods in dealing with gestational hyperlipidemic pancreatitis.Abstract:SUMM ARY Gestational hyperlipidem ic pancreatitis is an uncommon complication of pregnancy that in-curs a high risk ofmorbid ity and mortality of both maternal and fetal patients.W e described the response of continous renal replacement therapy in a woman with extreme gestational hyperlipidem ia and severe pancreatitis.Five consecutive plasma exchanges d idn’t lead to a remarkable reduction(10.4% and 4.8%,for the first and fourth times,respectively) at triglyceride levels as the literatures have reported,which reveals that plasma exchange and continous veno-venous heamofiltration may be importment,in-stead of crucialmethods in dealing with gestational hyperlipidem ic pancreatitis.

ObjectiveTo analyze literature on acupuncture-related adverse events published in periodicals in Science Citation Index (SCI) and Medllars Online(Medline).MethodsWe searched the Web of Science database and the Medline database to identify articles about the safety of acupuncture therapy.Case reports,case series,surveys and other observational studies were included if they reported factual data,but review articles,translations and clinical trials were excluded.ResultsFindings:The inclusion criteria were met by 232 articles that in total reported on 389 cases of adverse events after acupuncture.Conclusion Acupuncture therapy is relatively safe,most acupuncture-related adverse events can be avoided by standardized clinical practice.Establishment of acupuncture medical safety standard system is extremely urgent.

The experiment was conducted to examine the effect of zinc toxicity on the peripheral blood T-lymphocyte by the method of flow cytometry(FCM) and ANAE.200 one-day-old Avian broilers were divided into four groups,and fed with the diets as follows:①control group(Zn 100 mg/kg diet) and ② zinc toxic groups(Zn 1 500 mg/kg diet,zinc toxic group Ⅰ;Zn 2 000 mg/kg diet,zinc toxic group Ⅱ;Zn 2 500 mg/kg diet,zinc toxic group Ⅲ) for seven weeks.The ANAE positive ratios of the peripheral blood T-lymphocytes were much lower in the three zinc toxic groups than that in control group at 7 weeks of age.CD4+ T cell numbers were reduced from 2 to 7 weekds of age in zinc toxic group Ⅲ and from 6 to 7 weeks of age in zinc toxic group Ⅱ,as compared with that of control group.The numbers of CD8+ T cell decreased at 2 and 4 weeks of age in zinc toxic groups Ⅱ and Ⅲ,and at 7 weeks of age in zinc grups Ⅰ and Ⅲ.CD4+/CD8+ ratio was higher at 2 and 4 weeks age,and lower at 6 and 7 weeks of age in zinc toxic groups Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ than in control group.The results showed that zinc toxicity would suppress the development of T-lymphocytes and reduce the peripheral blood T-lymphocyte populations.Potential mechanism underlying these observations are also discussed.

Objective:To explore the impact of clinical pharmacists involved in the treatment team on the reasonable drug use rate in medical orders. Methods:Totally 782 medical records including hypertension and 1-3 kinds of hypertension associated diseases in our hospital from January 2011 to December 2011 were used as the pre-intervention group, and 1 061 ones with the same conditions from September 2012 to August 2013 were used as the post-intervention group. The patients of the two groups were divided into 8 dis-ease subgroups, clinical pharmacists performed timely intervention on the medical orders in the post-intervention group, and the rational drug use rate between the two groups was compared. Results:In hypertension, hypertension associated coronary heart disease, hyper-tension with heart failure and hypertension with diabetes subgroups,the difference in the rational drug use proportion before and after the intervention was statistically significant(P<0. 01), in hypertension with coronary heart disease and heart failure, hypertension associ-ated coronary heart disease and diabetes, hypertension with heart failure and diabetes subgroup, the difference in the rational drug use proportion before and after the intervention was statistically significant(P<0. 05), while in hypertension with coronary heart disease, heart failure and diabetes subgroups, the difference was not statistically significant(P>0. 05). After the medical records in the 8 sub-groups were aggregated, the difference in the rational drug use proportion before and after the intervention was statistically significant( P<0. 01). Conclusion:Clinical pharmacists should involve in the clinical treatment to intervene irrational drug use,which can signifi-cantly improve the medical record rationality, avoid the health risks as much as possible and ensure the medication safety and treatment effectiveness for patients.

Objective To study the effects of enteral immunonutrition on immune function in patients with multiple trauma. Method A total of 32 patients with multiple trauma admitted to general ICU in ChangZheng hospital, Shanghai from March 2007 to May 2008 were randomly (random number) divided into two groups,enteral immunonutrition group (EIN group, n = 16)and the general formula enteral nutrition group (EN group, n = 16).Two groups of patients on the third day after injury began to accept the EIN and the general formula EN which respectively support at least 14 days. The patients peripheral blood lymphocyte count (TLC), immunoglobulin (IgG,IgM, IgA) ,and T-lymphocyte subsets (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD4/CD8) were detected on the day of the group formation, the seventh and the fortteenth day of the nutritional support. Results TLC, IgG, IgM, IgA, CD4 and CD4/CD8 ratio were significantly higher in EIN Group on the 7th and 14th day than that on the first day ( P ＜0.05), and extended with the EIN and sustained increase. All immunization indicators of EN group on the 7th day were no significant changes compared with the day of the group formation, and on the 14 th day TLC, IgG, IgM,IgA, CD4 and CD4/CD8 ratio were significantly higher than that on the day of the group formation ( P ＜ 0.05),but were significantly lower than that in the EIN group on the 14th day ( P ＜ 0.05). Conclusions Compared with the general formula EN, EIN is more helpful to restore and increase the humoral and cellular immune function in early post-multitraumatic phase.
