Objective: 139 documents (10,646 cases of angina pectoris in patients with coronary heart disease) which were treated with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) of angina pectoris were researched, the application and existing problems of TCM evaluation standards of the efficacy of angina pectoris were studied to determine constructive items (candidate indicatrix) of TCM evaluation standards. Methods: The efficacy evaluation database of angina pectoris was established by the literature search and the software Epidata2.0, recorded in the database, and statistical analysed. Results: There are many kinds of evaluation standards of TCM efficacy of angina pectoris, but the utilization rate of each standard is lower than 40%. The main constructive item in evaluation standards of angina pectoris should include: the effect of the disease, syndrome effects, physical and chemical indicatrix, important clinical event, quality of life, and so on. Conclusion: The current evaluation standards of TCM efficacy of angina pectoris can not meet the clinical needs. A received evaluation standard should be established. The evaluation of TCM efficacy of angina pectoris should adopt integrated multi-dimensional index system.

Objective To investigate the difference of surgical efficacy between extended lymph node dissection and standard lymph node dissection in laparoscopic radical cystectomy.Methods We retrospectively analyzed 62 bladder cancer cases,icluding 52 males and 10 females patients in our hospital from January 2011 to October 2016,who underwent laparoscopic radical cystectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection.Their mean age was (62.5 ± 9.6) years,ranged from 42 to 83 years.27 cases were underwent extended lymph node dissection and 35 cases were underwent standard lymph node dissection respectively.The basic characters,operative time,intraoperative blood loss,intraoperative and postoperative complications,postoperative eating time,postoperative activity time,postoperative hospital stay,lymph nodes positive rate,lymph node density,and cancer-free survival were evaluated.Results All patients were underwent successful operation.There was no significant difference in operation time [(326.2 ± 77.5) min vs.(345.5 ± 66.8) min,P =0.297],blood loss [(198.2 ± 77.5) ml vs.(213.7 ± 160.0) ml,P =0.590],intraoperative complications (0/27 vs.5/35,F =0.063),postoperative complications (8/27 and 9/35,P =0.732),postoperative eating time[(4.8 ±2.2)d vs.(4.6 ± 1.9)d,P =0.817],postoperative activity time[(1.9 ± 0.8) d vs.(1.9 ± 0.9) d,P =0.838] and postoperative hospital stay[(15.6 ± 7.5) d vs.(16.0 ± 5.9)d,P =0.483].In this study,994 lymph nodes and 100 positive lymph nodes were dissected.There were significant differences in the number of lymph nodes dissected in the two groups (23.2 ±6.6 vs.10.5 ±3.6,P ＜0.01).40.74％ (11/27) of cases in ePLND were lymph node positive and the lymph node density was 11.7％ (73/626),which was higher than that of the sPLND group (28.57％ vs.7.34％,respectively).In regard to prognosis,the cancer-free survival rate (DFS) of ePLND group was 96％,91％,80％ and 71％ at 3,6,12 and 24 months follow-up respectively.The other group was 97％ 94％,84％,80％ correspondingly.And no significant difference was detected (P =0.546).Although there was no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05),DFS of ePLND group tended to be higher than that of sPLND group in lymph node positive subgroups.Conclusions Extended lymph node dissection and standard lymph node dissection have similar surgical safety and prognosis,and appropriate surgical procedures should be selected according to the patient's condition.

Background Retninal neovascular diseases caused by hypoxia has become a major blinding disease,which is lack of effective chemical treatment currently,it's important to study the molecuar mechanism of the disease,so as to guide the clinical medication.Objective This study was to explore the effect of 15 (S)-hydroxyeicosate traenoic acid (15-HETE) on the proliferation of hypoxic retinal microvascular endothelial cells (RMVECs) and its probable mechanism.Methods RMVECs were isolated from C57BL/6J mice and incubated and then identified with anti-Ⅷ factor antibody by immunochemistry and immunofluorescence.The cells were divided into the normoxia group and the hypoxia group.The hypoxia cell models were established by treated with 125 μmol/L CoCl2.The cells were cultured with serum-free DMEM containing endothelial cell growth supplement (ECGS)and high glucose for 48 hours,and then different concentrations of 15-HETE (0.0,0.1,1.0,5.0 μmol/L) were added in the medium for 48 hours respectively to subgroup the groups.The proliferation of the cells (absorbance,A) was detected using MTT.The relative expression levels of protein and mRNA of hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α),bcl-2 and caspase-3 were assayed by reverse transcription PCR (RT-RCR)and Western blot.Results The cells showed the positive response for anti-Ⅷ factor antibody with the positive rate of (94.38 ±4.25)％.No significant difference was found in the cell proliferation of various groups under the normoxia condition (F =0.283,P =0.837),but under the hypoxia condition,the proliferation values were significantly different among various groups (F =702.582,P＜0.001).The cell proliferation value in the 1.0 μmol/L 15-HETE group and 5.0 μmol/L 15-HETE group was lower than that of the simple hypoxia group respectively(both at P＜0.05).The inhibitory rates in the 0.1,1.0,5.0 μ mol/L 15-HETE groups were (1.09±0.31) ％,(21.09± 3.53) ％ and (49.86 ±4.15) ％,showing a dosedependent manner.No significant difference was seen in the expression levels of bcl-2,caspase-3 and HIF-1α mRNA in various groups under the normoxia conditions.However,compared with the simple normoxia group,the relative expressions of bcl-2 mRNA and HIF-1α mRNA in the cells were increased by 1.53 folds and 1.7 folds in the simple hypoxia group respectively,and caspasse-3 mRNA expression decreased by 70％ (all at P ＜ 0.05).Under the normoxia condition,the expression of bcl-2 and pro-caspase-3 protein in the cells were not significantly different among the various groups (P＞0.05),however,the expressions of bcl-2 and pro-caspase-3 proteins were elevated by 1.6 folds and 1.9 folds in the hypoxia group in compared with the normoxia group (P＜0.05).Compared with the simple hypoxia group,the expressions of bcl-2 and pro-caspase-3 were lowed by 40.4％ and 42.5％ in the 5.0 μmol/L 15-HETE group (P＜0.05).Conclusions 15-HETE inhibits the proliferation of RMVECs and therefore suppresses neovascularization by down-regulating the expressions of HIF-1α and bcl-2 and the activation of caspase-3 in a dose-dependent manner.

The efficacy and safety of Saccharomyces boulardii in treatment of candida esophagitis was investigated by a single center, prospective, open label and non-inferiority trial.Eighty nine patients with candida esophagitis attending in Shanxi Provincial People′s Hospital during April 2015 to March 2016 were randomly divided into Saccharomyces boulardii group (45 cases) and nystatin group (44 cases), and oral Saccharomyces boulardii powder and Nystatin tablets were given to two groups respectively.The curative effect was evaluated by gastroscopy after the treatment.The results showed that the cure rate of Saccharomyces boulardii group and nystatin group was 68.9%(31/45)and 63.6%(28/44), and the Saccharomyces boulardii was noi inferior to nystatin (x2=3.027, P<0.05).Chi-square test showed that there was no significant difference in effective rate between two groups [91.1%(41/45)vs.93.2%(41/44), x2<0.001, P>0.05].The incidence of adverse reactions in boulardii group was significantly lower than that in nystatin group [2.2%(1/45) vs.22.7%(10/44), x2=8.636, P<0.05].The study suggests that the cure rate of Saccharomyces boulardii is not inferior to nystatin in treatment of candida esophagitis, while the incidence of adverse reactions of Saccharomyces boulardii is lower.

BACKGROUND:Currently, there are many studies on colapsed repair, but a systematic and horizontal comparison is not reported yet. OBJECTIVE: To compare the effect of conventional resin adhesive, resin adhesive+silane coupling agent and adjacent surface open part of the crown on colapsed repair through clinical trial and in vitro experiment. METHODS: (1) Clinical trial: 90 patients with porcelain colapse were randomized into three groups, and respectively treated with conventional resin adhesive, resin adhesive+silane coupling agent and adjacent surface open part of the crown. Success rate was measured and compared among three groups at 1 year after repair. (2) In vitro test: Twenty test specimens were equaly divided into two groups, and treated with conventional resin adhesive and resin adhesive+silane coupling agent, respectively. Then, shear strength was detected in the two groups. Twenty double-crown specimens were equaly divided into four groups. The first three groups were treated with sand blasting, silane coupling agent and their combination treatment, respectively; the rest group had no treatment (control group). After repair, the tensile strength of each specimen was detected.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The success rate of colapsed repair was 37% for conventional resin adhesive, 90% for resin adhesive+silane coupling agent and 100% for adjacent surface open part of the crown. The shear strength was (13.978±0.343) MPa for the conventional resin adhesive and (10.058±0.64) MPa for resin adhesive+silane coupling agent, and there was a significant difference between two methods (P < 0.01). The tensile strength was (0.68±0.04) kN in the control group, (1.00±0.02) kN in the sand blasting group, (1.31±0.08) kN in silane coupling agent group, and (1.09±0.04) kN in the combination group, and there was a significant differences between groups (P < 0.01). Experimental results show that the silane coupling agent+resin adhesive treatment and adjacent surface open part of the crown are superior to conventional resin adhesive.
