Objective To investigate the changes of carotid, lipidemia and fibrinogen in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients complicated with cerebral infarction (DCI). Methods 58 cases of DCI (DCI group) were enrolled in this study, and 36 cases of cerebral infarction without diabetes mellitus served as control group. The location, number and nature of carotid atherosclerotic plaque and inner diameter of carotid artery were assessed by Doppler ultrasonography in all the patients, as well as blood lipid, blood glucose and fibrinogen were evaluated. Results In DCI group, the rate of carotid atherosclerotic plaque was 79.3%, the IMT and inner diameter of common carotid artery in DCI group were significantly different from control group (all (P

Lipids metabolism can change after traumas such as operation or injury.The process is com-prised of accelerated hydrolysis of triglyceride in adipose tissue,accelerated absorption of fatty acids by extra-he-patic tissue,improved lipid oxidation rate,and augmented re-esterification of fatty acids in liver and adipose tis-sue.Mechanisms of lipid mobilization include sympathetic stimulation,insulin resistance,and inflammation.How-ever,lipid absorption by liver and intestine is inhibited after trauma.Through post-trauma nutritional support,glu-cose administration improves re-esterification of fatty acids and inhibits lipid oxidation without affecting lipolysis.Fat emulsion infusion inhibits both absorption and secretion of triglyceride in liver.Therefore,clinicians should a-void over-alimentation of glucose and fat to prevent lipid overload,particularly in liver. Intervention of post-trau-matic lipid metabolism improves the outcomes:administration of long-chain triglycerides can prevent exhaustion of essential fatty acids,and administration of cholesterol can improve absorption and oxidation of fat emulsion.

Gastric cancer incidence is one of the most common malignancies in our country and is the second most common in the worldwide,clinic doctors always emphasize early diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer patients,in order to reduce the mortality,however,most patients' condition often have been in the late fall and these patients were badly in efficacy.Looking for a new diagnosis way is a medical prddem,with molecular biology advance and gene chips was improved,it is possible for the early screening of gastric cancer.This assay aims to briefly analyse the role of gene chips in the research progress of early gastric cancer.

Aim To study the effect of proteasome inhibitor MG132 on the expression of caspase-3 and apoptosis in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells.Methods Human umbilical vein endothelial cells was treated with MG132 (2,5 ?mol?L~(-1)) for 24 h. The apoptotic cells were determined by DNA fragment analysis and flow cytometric analysis. The level of caspase-3 mRNA was quantified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The protein contents of caspase-3 were analyzed by immunocytochemistry.Results The results showed that the increase of the degree of human umbilical vein endothelial cells apoptosis was concentration dependent. MG132 could up-regulate the gene/protein expression of caspase-3.Conclusions The results implicated that proteasome inhibitor MG132 induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells apoptosis by accumulation of caspase-3.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of TongluoShu Liquid in treating rheumatoid arthritis at early stage. Methods 100 cases were randomly recruited into a control group and a treatment group with 50 cases in each group. The treatment group was given TongluoShu liquid, 150ml / time, twice a day; and the control group was given Diclofenac Sodium Sustained Release Tablets (Deegan), one granule for each time, twice a day, and Methotrexate 7.5mg / time, once per week. Results In the treatment group, symptoms, signs and biochemical indicators were significantly improved, and the swelling of the soft tissue around the joints in stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ were also reduced. Besides, osteoporosis was controlled and the progress of destruction to the cartilage of stage Ⅲ was detained, though there was no statistical difference between the two groups after the treatment. Conclusion ShuTongluo liquid is a safe and effective medicine with less adverse reactions in treating rheumatoid arthritis.

Objective:To explore the intermedial to long term surgical management in aortic valve insufficiency(AI)after ventricular septal defect(VSD)repair.Methods:A total of 22 consecutive patients with AI after VSD repair in our hospital from January 1996 to December 2007 underwent surgical treatment were enrolled in this study. Valve perforation was mainly pathological changes. Aortic valve replacement was performed in 13 patients and aortic valvuloplasty was done in 9 patients.Results:One patient died after the operation.Post operative X-ray and echocardiogram revealed that both cardio-thoracic ratio(0.57±0.07 vs. 0.52±0.04 P<0.05)and left ventricular end diastolic diameter(54.5±10.2 mm vs. 46.7±5.8mm P<0.05)decreased markedly. 3 patients suffered from mild aortic regurgitation after valvuloplasty.Conclusion:The iatrogenic injury of aortic valve during VSD repair could be corrected satisfactorily by valve replacement or valvuloplasty.

Objective To observe the effects of hot compress on oxaliplatin-induced neurotoxicity.Methods One hundred and twenty patients undergoing chemotherapy with oxaliplatin enrolled in this study were randomly assigned to the control group and expenment group.The control group was given routine health education and the experiment group was treated with hot compress.We compared the incidence of nerotoxocity after 2 and 4 treatment courses.Resulsts The incidence of neurotoxiticity was 75.0%in the experiment group and 91.7%in the control group after 2 treatment courses(P<0.01).The incidences were 86.7%in the experiment group and 98.3%in the control group after 4 treatment courses(P<0.001).Conclusion Hot compress can effectively reduce the incidence of neurotoxicity induced by chemotherapy with oxaliplatin.

OBJECTIVE:To observe therapeutic efficacy and safety of recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide (rhBNP) in the treatment of acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). METHODS:129 ADHF patients admitted in our hospital during Jul. 2013-Jul. 2015 were randomly divided into observation group(69 cases)and control group(60 cases). Control group was giv-en routine treatment. Observation group was additionally given rhBNP 1.5 μg/(kg·d)vein shock(d1),and then rhBNP 1 mg+5%Glucose injection 100 ml by 0.007 5 μg/(kg·min),ivgtt(d2-4). Treatment courses of 2 groups lasted for 7 d. Therapeutic efficacy and heart function indexes [left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVDd)] were observed in 2 groups as well as NT-proBNP level,medication fluid intake and urine volume 24 h after medication. The occurrence of ADR was observed. RESULTS:3 cases dropped out and 66 cases were included finally in doservation group. Total effective rate of AD-HF therapy in observation group (96.97%) was significantly higher than in control group (86.67%),with statistical significance (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in LVEF,LVDd and NT-proBNP between 2 groups before treatment(P>0.05). Af-ter treatment,LVEF of 2 groups were increased significantly while LVDd were decreased significantly;LVEF of observation group [(42.3±3.6)%] was significantly higher than in control group[(37.9±3.3)%],while LVDd of observation group [(55.5± 3.6)%] was significantly lower than in control group[(61.3 ± 3.4)%]. NT-proBNP levels of 2 groups were decreased significant-ly,and the observation group [(1 389.5±29.6)pg/ml] was significantly lower than the control group [(2 778.0±26.8)pg/ml]. 24 h after medication,urine volume of 2 groups were significantly higher than medication fluid intake,and urine volume of observation group [(1 781.4 ± 89.7)ml] was significantly higher than that of control group [(1 372.6 ± 78.3)ml],with statistical significance (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between observation group (3.03%) and control group (5.00%),without statistical significance(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:rhBNP is significantly effective for ADHF,promotes heart function recovery and reduces renal function injury with good safety.
