Objective To explore carotid atherosclerosis and its relative factors of maintenance peritoneal dialysis patients. Methods The general clinical conditions,hematobiochemical parameters and color ultrasound parameters of 27 maintenance peritoneal dialysis patients and 24 controll patients were collecled. General clinical conditions included body weight, height and BMI. Hematobiochemical paremeters included Hb, Alb, LP (a), TC, TG, HDL-C,LDL-C, CRP, plasma fibrinogen, C3, Apo-A 1, Apo-B, LP (a). Color ultrasound parameters included plaque incidence rate,thickness of vascularendothelium(IMT). Results Compared with the controll group,maintenance peritoneal dialysis patients: plaque incidence rate, thickness of vascularendothelium (IMT) increased significantly, Age, TC, TG,LDL-C,LP (a), dialysis time increased significantly in plaque-positive group(all p ＜ 0. 05), while Hb, Alb andPAB decreased significantly (all P ＜ 0.0 5) , CRP increased significantly (P ＜ 0.0 1) . Conclusions In maintenance peritoneal dialysis group,CRP,LP(a) had positive relationship with C-IMT. CRP had negative relationship with ALb. CRP had not relationship with age and dialysis time. There were relationships among malnutrition,inflammation and atherosclerosis in maintenance peritoneal dialysis patients. Interdiction of the relationship may played a very important role in ameliorating the prognosis of the maintenance peritoneal patients.

Objective To study the effects of combination therapy (psychological intervention+clopidogrel+aspirin) for coronary heart disease. Methods 88 cases were selected from January 2016 to April 2017 in patients with coronary heart disease in our hospital. In a randomized approach, patients were divided into treatment groups and control groups, with 44 cases per patient. Patients in the control group were treated with aspirin, and the treatment group was treated with a combination therapy (psychological intervention+clopidogrel+aspirin). The treatment effect, angina and adverse reaction were observed and compared. Results Comparing the therapeutic effect of two groups of patients, the treatment group total effective rate was 97.73%, control group total effective rate was 79.55%, significant difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); Compared two groups of patients with angina, the treatment group patients with onset time (4.32±1.18) shorter, longer time interval (5.03 ±1.34), less number of attacks (1.67±0.49), with statistical significance (P<0.05); Compared to the adverse reactions in the two groups, the incidence of adverse reactions in the treatment group was 4.55%, compared with 18.18% in the control group. Statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusion Psychological intervention in combination with clopidogrel and aspirin enteric-coated metformin hydrochloride in the treatment, in the clinical treatment of patients with coronary heart disease angina pectoris, shows good therapeutic effect, has higher application value.

The current United States Pharmacopeia–National Formulary (USP–NF) includes more than 250 mono-graphs of fixed dose combinations (FDCs), and some of them need to be updated due to incompleteness of impurity profiles and obsolescence of analytical methodologies. A case study of metoprolol tartrate and hydrochlorothiazide tablets is presented to summarize challenges encountered during the USP monograph modernization initiative of FDCs and to highlight an "adoption and adaptation" approach employed for method development. To this end, a single stability-indicating HPLC method was devel-oped to separate the two drug substances and eight related compounds with resolution 2.0 or higher between all critical pairs. Chromatographic separations were achieved on a Symmetry column (C18, 100 mm × 4.6 mm, 3.5 μm) using sodium phosphate buffer (pH 3.0; 34 mM) and acetonitrile as mobile phase in a gradient elution mode. The stability-indicating capability of this method has been demon-strated by analyzing stressed samples of the two drug substances. The developed HPLC method was validated for simultaneous determination of metoprolol tartrate and hydrochlorothiazide and relevant impurities in the tablets. Moreover, the developed method was successfully applied to the analysis of commercial tablet dosage forms and proved to be suitable for routine quality control use. The case study could be used to streamline USP's monograph modernization process of FDCs and strengthen compendial procedures.

Objective To analyze anemia in patients with chronic heart failure changes in relevant indicators.Methods 48 chronic heart failure patients(observation group)and 48 healthy people(control group).were erolled the peripheral blood red blood cell count(RBC),hemoglobin(Hb),hematocrit(Hct)and other anemia-related indicators were measured.Results The results of the observation group RBC,Hb,Hct,were(3.37 ±0.49)× 1012/L,(103.64±14.33)g/L,(0.31 ±0.08)respectively,the control group were(4.64 ±0.51)× 1012/L,(121.33 ±17.69)g/L,(0.37 ± 0.07),between the two groups were statistically significant(t =4.46、3.06、4.18,P =0.02,0.04,0.04);treatment,symptoms of heart failure in observation group mitigation,RBC is(3.76 ± 0.58)× 1012/L,compared with the control group the difference was significant(t =0.48,P =0.03); observation group Hb,Hct were (123.77 ± 17.26)g/L,(0.37 ± 0.05),and were not significantly different with the amtrol gronp(P =0.06,0.11).Conclusion Elderly patients with anemia associated with heart failure were lower than healthy people,heart failure and anemia had,a significant correlation with aremia.

Observation of tongue fur is one of the methods of diagnosing diseases in TCM,and tongue fur scaling cytology has important significance for quantitative standard of inspection of the tongue.In this paper,normal and abnormal tongue fur scaling cytology are studied and application laws of tongue fur scaling cytology in TCM syndrome differentiation typing,i,e.,syndrome differentiation of Wei,Qi,Ying and blood,syndrome differentiation of Zang-and Fu-organs,syndrome differentiation of Qi, blood,body fluid,and syndrome differentiation of the eight principal syndromes are expounded.

Objective To explore the value of left parasternal anterior mediastinaotomy (Chamberlain procedure) in the diagnosis of mediastinal lymph node enlargement with unknown causes and anterior mediastinal space-taking lesions. Methods By using the Chamberlain procedure, biopsy was performed in 32 cases of enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes with unknown causes or mediastinal space-taking lesions, which were found by CT scans. Results All of the 32 cases were pathologically diagnosed, with a diagnostic accuracy of 100%. Three patients with pericardial effusion received concurrent pericardial fenestration and then their symptoms relieved. Four patients underwent concurrent lung biopsy. The operating time was (48?15) min, the blood lose was ( 40.6?23.5) ml, and the postoperative hospital stay (3.6?1.4) days. No deaths or postoperative complications occurred. Conclusions Chamberlain procedure is a safe and valuable method in the diagnosis of mediastinal space-taking lesions with unknown causes or enlargement of the fifth and sixth groups of mediastinal lymph nodes, which routine mediastinoscope cannot reach. Some other simple therapies, such as lung biopsy or pericardial fenestration, can also be employed at the same time.

Objective To observe the characteristic changes of tongue temperature on patients of different hepatopathy tongue of blood stasis and different blood stasis syndrome types (BSS). Methods The diagram of tongue temperature was gotten in Thermoviewer SAT-HY6000A. Results The temperature of whole tongue of normal group fell down in turn as follows:root of tongue, margin of the tongue, middle surface of tongue, apex of tongue. The temperature of tongue of all the hepatopathy group was sharp dropped compared with normal group (P

From May 2009 to February 2012, five patients with traumatic lower limb arteriovenous fistula were admitted in our department .Four patients underwent endovascular stent grafting , and one patient was given fistula indwelling , deep femoral artery-superficial femoral artery end to side anastomosis , and femoral artery-superficial femoral artery artificial vescular grafting .Four patients were cured, which were followed for 3, 5, 3, and 3 years, respectively, without recurrence.One patient with endovascular stent grafting failed to isolate the fistula effectively and a second stent grafting failed , too.Endovascular stent grafting is an effective method in the treatment of fistula, with less bleeding, small trauma, and rapid recovery.By using the technology of through the hillsto isolate limb fistula, the covered stent might not be released when the fistula is located at low position and at the same time the left iliac artery bifurcation angle is small .
