Objective:To discuss effect of nicorandil on unstable angina patients With persistent Weakly positive for troponin I (TnI).Methods:A total of 111 unstable angina patients With persistent Weakly positive for TnI Were randomly divided into control group (received routine treatment,55 cases) and intervention group (received nic-orandil 5mg,3 times/d based on routine treatment,56 cases).The relief of chest pain in one Week,the recurrent hospitalization for chest pain aggravation in 3 months and the cardiac mortality rate in one year betWeen tWo groups Were observed in tWo groups. Results:Compared With control group,the relief of angina pectoris in one Week (63.6% vs. 91.1%,χ2=11.97,P=0.0005)significantly increased,re-hospitalization for chest pain aggravation in three months (56.4% vs.19.6%,χ2=15.91,P=0.0001)significantly decreased in intervention group;but cardiac mortality rate during one year betWeen tWo groups Was no significant difference (5.5% vs. 8.9%,χ2=0.50,P=0.4792).Conclusion:Nicorandil can significantly reduce the unstable angina and re-hospitalization for chest pain aggravation in patients With persistent Weakly positive for TnI,but there Was no significant difference in reducing mortality Within one year betWeen tWo groups.

Objective:To investigate the causes of death and etiological characteristics of skin tissue donors, and to provide reference for allogeneic skin transplantation.Methods:From October 2008 to October 2018, 49 skin tissue donors accepted by the Burn Department of Wuhan Third Hospital met the inclusion criteria of this study, and a cross-sectional study was conducted. According to the cause of death, the donors were divided into accidental death group (19 cases) and non-accidental death group (30 cases). The sex and death age of 49 donors were recorded, and the death age between different sex donors and that of donors between accidental death group and non-accidental death group were compared. Diseases or circumstances that caused the death of donors, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, syphilis virus carrying status, and peripheral blood microbial culture results of 49 donors were recorded, and the detection of blood-borne infectious risk factors of donors between accidental death group and non-accidental death group was compared. Abnormal skin tissue was also selected during allogenic skin graft preparing for pathological examination. Data were statistically analyzed with Mann-Whitney U test and continuity correction chi-square test. Results:(1) Out of the 49 donors in this group, 38 were male (77.55%) and 11 were female (22.45%). The death age was 42.00 (24.00, 55.00) years, and the death age of male donors was similar to that of female donors ( Z=0.120, P>0.05). The death age of donors in accidental death group was lower than that in non-accidental death group, but the difference was not statistically significant ( Z=-1.581, P>0.05). (2) Among the causes and circumstances of the 49 donors in this group, there were 19 cases (38.78%) of injury, poisoning, and some other consequences of external causes, 11 cases (22.45%) of circulatory system diseases, 9 cases (18.37%) of tumors, 3 cases (6.12%) of nervous system diseases, 2 cases (4.08%) of respiratory system diseases, and 2 cases (4.08%) of congenital malformation, deformation, and chromosome abnormality, 1 case (2.04%) of blood and hematopoietic organ diseases and some diseases related to immune mechanism, 1 case (2.04%) of digestive system disease, and 1 case (2.04%) of genitourinary system disease. (3) There were 9 donors (18.37%) with blood-borne infectious risk factors among the 49 donors in this group, including 8 cases (16.33%) of blood-borne infectious diseases, which were 5 cases (10.20%) of hepatitis B, 2 cases (4.08%) of syphilis, and 1 case (2.04%) of hepatitis C, respectively. Blood microorganism culture was positive in 1 case (2.04%), in which multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa was detected. Risk factors of blood-borne infection were detected in 2 donors in accidental death group, with detection ratio lower than that in non-accidental death group (7 cases), but the difference was not statistically significant ( χ2=0.562, P>0.05). (4) A total of 8 donors′ abnormal skin tissue were selected, including 4 cases of intradermal pigmented nevus, 1 case of scar, 1 case of pseudoepithelioma hyperplasia, 1 case of epidermal verrucous hyperplasia, and 1 case of large amount of pigment granules in dermis. Conclusions:Non-accidental death caused by diseases is the main cause of death of skin tissue donors, and the risk of donor-derived infection of non-accidentally dead donors is slightly higher than that of accidentally dead donors. Before the allogeneic skin is obtained and transplanted, the cause of death of the donor should be carefully investigated, and the health status should be evaluated, so as to avoid the occurrence of donor-derived infection.

Objective To explore the effects of triclosan (TCS) on the immune function of mice. Methods Forty male and female Kunming mice (25±2 g) were selected. The animals were divided into 5 groups according to body weight ratio, including a blank control (saline solution) group, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) group, and three triclosan solution groups (59.375 mg/kg, 118.75 mg/kg, and 237.5 mg/kg, respectively). There were 8 mice in each group, half male and half female. Animals were treated with TCS by intragastric administration once a day for two weeks. Upon the completion of the treatment, animals were sacrificed, the spleen, thymus and other tissues were collected, and the ratios of their weight to body weigh were calculated. The peripheral blood was taken by eye-ball removal method, and the half hemolysis value was determined. Results Compared with the positive control group, the spleen index of male mice in the medium dose group and high dose group increased significantly (P < 0.05), and the spleen index of female mice in the high dose group showed significant difference (P < 0.05). Compared with the positive control group, the thymus index of male high dose group was significantly different (P < 0.05). The thymus indexes of female high, medium, and low dose groups all were significantly different compared to the control group (P < 0.05). HC50 results showed that the HC50 of both male and female mice decreased (P < 0.05). Conclusion High concentration of triclosan can inhibit the immune function of Kunming mice.
