Objective To investigate the effect of Xuezhokang treatment on blood pressure and pulse pressure(PP) of elderly patients with primary hypertension(PH). Methods Fifty-eight elderly PH patients were treated with Amlodipine(5 mg/d).After the blood pressure were decreased to mild hypertension level,all the patients were randomly divided into 2 groups:30 patients in the Xuezhikang group,and 28 patients in the control group.The patients in the control group were treated with low fat and low salt diet and Amlodipine as before,and the patients in Xuezhikang group were treated not only with Xuezhikang 300 mg twice a day and Amlodipine as before for 12 weeks.Results The SBP and PP(mm Hg)were improved in both Xuezhikang and control groups,and Xuezhikang showed a better therapeutic effect(P<0.05)than did the control.Xuezhikang group had SBP of(149±9,pretreatment)and(130±8,posttreatment),and PP of(64±11,pretreatment)and (48±7,posttreatment)(all P<0.05).Control group showed SBP of(144±9)and(130±8)in pre-and post-treatment respectively,and showed PP of(60±10,pre-Rx)and(48±7,post-Rx)(all P<0.05). Conclusions Anti-hypertensive medications in a routine dose combined with Xuezhikang have a better effect on the hypertension treatment in elderly patients.

Objective Amblyopia is common disease in children. It can cause visual suppression that damage binocular vision function especially to the development of stereopsis. The objective of this study was to investigate the stereoscopic vision in children with different types and degrees of amblyopia. Methods This is a clinical retrospective comparative analysis. 178 children with amblyopia from Sichuan Provincial Corps Hospitial CAPF were enrolled in this study. Approximation zero disparity, crossed disparity, uncrossed disparity were examined with Yan' s stereogram. The classification of stereogram based on the criteria of Okuda. The degree of amblyopia was graded based on the corrected vision acuity. Results The differences in the eyes and percentage of approximation zero disparity, crossed disparity, uncrossed disparity among refractive amblyopia group, anisopia amblyopia group and strabismic amblyopia group were statistically significant, respectively(χ~2 =13. 979, P =0. 001; χ~2 = 15. 198, P = 0. 001 ; χ~2 =6. 974, P = 0. 031) . Approximation zero disparity, crossed disparity in mild amblyopia were better than of medium amblyopia in ametropic amblyopic children (P < 0. 05) . No statistically significant difference in the eye number and percentage of uncrossed disparity was found between mild and moderate refractive ametropia (P > 0. 05) . The same outcomes also were seen in approximation zero disparity, crossed disparity, uncrossed disparity between mild and medium anisopia amblyopia (P > 0. 05) . No statistically significant differences in the eye number and percentage of approximation zero disparity, crossed disparity were found between mild and moderate strabismic amblyopia (P >0. 05) . Conclusion Amblyopia affects the development of stereoacuity. Amblyopia is aggravated with the increase of amblyopia degrees. The influence of amblyopia on stereoscopic vision is most mild in refractive ametropic and most serious in strabismic amblyopia.

The xylose reductase of Pichia stipitis is one of the most important enzymes. It can be used to build up recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain for utilizing xylose and producing ethanol. Intercellular redox imbalance caused by NADPH preference over NADH for Pichia stipitis xylose reductase (PsXR) has been considered to be one of the main factors for poor ethanol productivity. Some key amino acids of PsXR, which affect the activity or coenzyme preference, were investigated in our previous study. In this study, Lys21 were rational designed for site-directed mutagenesis to alter coenzyme specificity of PsXR from NADPH and NADH into single NADH. The wild gene and mutagenesis genes were ligated into pET28b, and were transferred into E.coli BL21(DE3). After induced by IPTG, the xylose reductases were purified. Purified mutants K21A (Lys21-->Ala), K21R(Lys21-->Arg) were characterized by steady-state kinetic analysis. The results showed that the coenzyme dependence of K21A was completely reversed to NADH.

Objective To investigate the variation characteristics of peripheral platelet parameters in children with dengue fever and to assess their use and value in diagnosis,prognosis and treatment for dengue fever.Methods Platelet parameters of 69 pediatric patients with dengue fever in acute febrile phase and remission period and 103 healthy controls were compared.The difference of platelet parameters between the liver function injury group and the normal liver function group,the coagulation dysfunction group and the coagulation function normal group,the severe group and the mild group with dengue fever was compared,the causes of thrombocytopenia in children with dengue was investigated so as to better understand the situation of bone marrow producing platelets.Results P-LCR,PDW,MPV were significantly higher in patients in acute febrile phase of dengue fever,compared with the healthy subjects(P<0.01),while PCT,PLT were significantly lower in patients in acute febrile phase of dengue fever,compared with the healthy subjects(P<0.01).MPV was significantly lower in patients with abnormal hepatic function when compared with patients with normal hepatic function(P<0.05),while other platelet parameters did not show significant differences(P>0.05).PLT and PCT were significantly lower in the severe patients than those in the mild patients(P<0.05),while other platelet parameters did not show significant differences(P>0.05).Peripheral platelet parameters did not show significant differences between patients with or without abnormal coagulation function (P>0.05).Conclusion Peripheral platelet parameters may play a role in the diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of dengue fever in children.

Objective To analyze the influencing factors of vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) in re-pregnancy puerperae and mother-infant outcomes.Methods A total of 290 re-pregnant women after cesarean were enrolled in the study,and 210 pregnant women were successfully given vaginal delivery,among whom 180 cases with vaginal birth were selected as the observation group,and 80 cases with cesarean section were as control group.The factors affecting the success of vaginal delivery after cesarean section were analyzed,and the maternal and neonatal outcomes between the two groups were compared.Results The univariate analysis showed that fetal head position,fetal abdominal circumference,fetal biparietal diameter,uterine height,premature rupture of membranes,Bishop score,and epidural anesthesia of two groups were statistically significant(P < 0.05);Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that Bishop score,fetal abdominal circumference,fetal head position,and epidural anesthesia were independent influencing factors of VBAC success (P < 0.05).The incidence rates of uterine rupture,the rate of neonatal asphyxia,hospitalization rate,Apgar score of two groups showed no significant difference (P > 0.05).The bleeding rates at 2,24 h in the observation group were lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05).Conclusion There are various factors that affect the success of vaginal delivery after cesarean section,and prenatal examination should be scientifically evaluated.If there is no indication of cesarean section,maternal vaginal delivery should be guided to improve the maternal and child outcomes and life quality of mother and child.
