Methods 112 cases of elderly patients with heart failure who were treated in our hospital from February 2014 to February 2016 were selected, these patients were randomly divided into conventional therapy group and combined treatment group (conventional therapy combined with low-dose aspirin beauty metoprolol treatment group) two groups, 56 cases in each group. Conventional therapy group was given routine treatment, combined treatment group wered treated on the basis of conventional therapy combined with metoprolol in the treatment of low-dose of aspirin. The plasma P-selectin, VWF, DD, BNP levels, HR, LVEDV, LVEF and clinical efficacy of the two groups were statistically analyzed. Results The P-selectin, VWF, DD, BNP levels of the combined treatment group were significantly lower than those in the conventional treatment group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), the total treatment effective rate 89.3% (50/56) was significantly higher than the conventional therapy group 78.6% (44/56), the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the two groups in HR, LVEDV, and LVEF. Conclusion Low-dose aspirin combined with metoprolol can improve the high blood coagulation and cardiac function of elderly patients with heart failure.

Objective To investigate the changes in 20S proteasome activities in the brain and spinal cord of acute and chronic morphine-dependent mice.Metbods Male ICR mice,weighing 25-30 g,were used in the study.The experiment was performed in 2 parts.In experiment Ⅰ,16 mice were randomly divided into 5 groups (n =8 each) using a random number table:control group (group C) and acute morphine dependence group (AMD group).In experiment Ⅱ,16 mice were randomly divided into 5 groups (n =8 each) using a random number table:control group (group C) and chronic morphine dependence group (CMD group).Acute morphine dependence was induced with morphine 100 mg/kg injected subcutaneously,and the mice were sacrificed 3 h later.Chronic morphine dependence was induced by increasing doses of morphine for 4 days,the initial dose of morphine was 20 mg/kg injected subcutaneously twice a day and was increased by 10 mg/kg every day,the dose of morphine was 10 mg/kg injected subcutaneously on 5th day,and then the mice were sacrificed 1 h later.In group C,the equal volume of normal saline was given instead,and the other treatments were similar to those previously described in morphine dependence groups.After the mice were sacrificed,the hippocampus,prefrontal cortex,striatum and spinalcord were isolated for determination of 20S proteasome activity,measured as chymotrypsin-like (ChT-L),trypsin-like (T-L) and peptidylglutamyl-like hydrolyzing (PGLH) activities.Results Experiment Ⅰ Compared with C group,PGLH activity in the spinal cord and T-L activity in the striatum or prefrontal cortex were significantly weakened in group AMD.There was no significant difference in 20S proteasome activity in the hippocampus between the two groups.Experiment Ⅱ Compared with C group,ChT-L and T-L activities in the spinal cord were significantly weakened,and PGLH activity in the striatum was enhanced in CMD group.There was no significant difference in 20S proteasome activity in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus between the two groups.Conclusion 20S proteasome activity in the spinal cord and brain is weakened in acute morphine-dependent mice,20S proteasome activity in the spinal cord is weakened,20S proteasome activity in the striatum is enhanced in chronic morphine-dependent mice,these changes have specificity in terms of position and type of activity,and the changes mentioned above may be related to development of morphine dependence in mice.

Objective To discuss the value of double tunnel separation technique in the application of laparoscopic radical resection for rectal carcinoma. Methods A retrospective analysis of clinical data of 67 cases of laparoscopic radical resection for rectal carcinoma from September 2010 to July 2014 was made.There were 37 cases of Miles operation and 30 cases of Dixon operation, with laparoscopic double tunnel separation technique which refered to under the sigmoid colon mesentery space and under the mesorectum space. Results All cases of laparoscopic radical resection were completed.The duration of operation was 100-240 min, with an average of 158 min.The intraoperative blood loss was 50-200 ml, with an average of 110 ml.The hospitalization time was 8-15 d, with an average of 10 d.Complications included postoperative anastomotic leakage in 1 case, small intestinal obstruction induced by intestine pelvic adhesion in 1 case, and lower extremity deep venous thrombosis in 1 case, all of which were cured with conservative treatment. Conclusions Double tunnel separation technique in laparoscopic radical resection is helpful to application of total mesorectal excision, thus effectively protects blood vessels, nerves, and ureters.Meanwhile, the lymph nodes and extranodal tumor deposits can be cleaned to the greatest degree.

Objective,To evaluate the value of magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) in clinical diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis.Methods,Forty-six patients (29 men,17 women,age ranged 11-72,mean age 41.5) with tuberculous meningitis were examined with MRI.The MRI findings of tuberculous meningitis were analyzed retrospectively.Results,On pre-contrast T1WI and T2WI,meningeal lesions in the basal cistern region were detected in twenty cases.Abnormal meningeal thickening and enhancement were found in 38 patients.Meningeal and cerebral miliary tuberculous foci were demonstrated in 21 cases.Ependymal involvement was found in six patients and cranial nerves were affected in other two patients.No abnormal meningeal enhancement was detected in eight mild cases.On the follow-up images in nine patients,the abnormal findings alleviated in varied degree or,remained unchanged.Conclusion,The pathological changes in tuberculous meningitis could be demonstrated effectively by specific findings on MRI.MRI,especially the post-contrast MRI,proved a reliable modality in clinical diagnosis and assessment of tuberculous meningitis.

Object To study the apoptosis induced by sodium artesunate (SA) in human liver cancer cells and its molecular mechanism. Methods Induction of the apoptosis was analyzed by fluorescent microscope, transmission electron micrograph and flow lytometry based on drug treated BEL-7402. Expressions of p53, p21 and bc1-2 were determined by Western blot. Results The expression level of p53 and p21 had no change remarkbly, but the expression level of bc1-2 was reduced compared to that of the control group after the human liver cancer cells were treated by SA. Conclusion The apoptosis in human liver cancer cells (BEL-7402) may be induced by SA, the molecular mechanism of apoptosis may be p53-independent, that is no relative to p53 and p21. Otherwise, it is relative to bc1-2 down-regulation.
