Objective To investigate the effect of low molecular weight heparin calcium combined with breviscapini in treating a-cute exacerbation of elderly chronic pulmonary heart disease and its mechanism.Methods 86 patients with acute exacerbation of elderly chronic pulmonary heart disease in our hospital from October 2011 to June 2013 were randomly divided into two groups. There were no significant differences in age,gender and disease condition between the two groups.44 cases were in the therapy group and the other 42 cases were in the control group.Both two groups received the routine therepy.On this basis the therapy group was added with low molecular weight heparin calcium and breviscapini.Then the improvement of clinical symptoms and the changes of plasma nitric oxide (NO)and endothelin-l (ET-1)after treatment were observed in the two groups.Results The total effective rates in the therapy group and the control group were 90.1%and 71.4% respectively;the levels of plasma NO and ET-1 after treatment in the two groups were significantly improved,but the improvement in the therapy group was better than that in the control group with the statistical difference between them(P <0.05).Conclusion Low molecular weight heparin calcium combined with breviscapini can significantly improve the symptoms in the ederly pulmonary heart disease,decrease the lung arterial press,re-lieve the load of right ventricle and affect the levels of plasma NO and ET-1 with less adverse reactions.

Objective To investigate the relationship between myeloperoxidase(MPO) and ankle brachial index(ABI) in patients with htypehypertension.Methods A total of 133 patients were enrolled in this study,and divided in to htypehypertention group(n=72),non-htypehypertension group(n=30) and normotension group(n=31).Their Hcy,ABI and MPO levels were measured and compared.Results The ABI in htypehypertention group and non-htypehypertension was significantly lower than that in normotension group (P<0.05),ABI in non-htypehypertension group was lower than that of htypehypertonsion group(P<0.05).MPO and CRP in the htypehypertension group was significant higher that those of normotension group(P<0.05).The ABI was negatively related with the serum MPO and CRP levels in htypehypertention group (r=-0.712,-0.722,P<0.05).Conclusion ABI is closely related with MPO,and play an important role in diagnosis of artery function impairment and high risk of htypehypertension patients.

HOXA10 gene plays an essential role in differentiation of the endometrium and in human reproduction. The aim of this study was to investigate the regulatory effect of sex steroids and HB-EGF on HOXA10 gene in Ishikawa cells. Ishikawa cells were incubated with 17-beta estradiol (10(-8) mol/L), medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) (10(-6) mol/L), RU486 (10(-5) mol/L) or HB-EGF (10 ng/mL) for 48 h respectively. The expression of HOXA10 gene was detected by immunofluorescence, reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blotting. Our results showed that either estrogen alone, progestin alone or progestin combined with estrogen could significantly increase the expression of HOXA10 gene 48 h after the treatment (P<0.05). But estrogen combined with progestin and RU486 could inhibit the up-regulation by estrogen and progestin. HB-EGF could elevate the expression of HOXA10 gene 48 h after the treatment (P<0.05). It is concluded that both estrogen and progestin can up-regulate the expression of HOXA10 gene in Ishikawa cells, but RU486 can inhibit the effect and HB-EGF can elevate the expression level of HOXA10 gene.

Objective To investigate the clinical manifestations and MR imaging features of olivopontocerebellar atrophy(OPCA).Methods The clinical data and MR findings of 8 patients with OPCA (OPCA group) were retrospectively analyzed,and 75 cases of healthy physical examination people were chosen as control group (they were divided into 21-30 years group,31-40 years group,41-50 years group,51-60 years group,61-70 years group,and 15 cases in each group),all subjects under went pons measurement.Results All 8 patients with OPCA were sporadic cases.The cerebellar symptom,autonomic symptoms and extrapyramidal symptoms were common manifestations.The head MR imaging of OPCA presented with cerebellum and brain stem atrophy,cross sign was the characteristic appearance.Vertical diameter and anteroposterior diameter of the pons in OPCA group patients was (20.63 ± 2.16) and (16.74 ±4.37) mm,compared with control group [(27.14 ±1.73) and (22.28 ± 1.49) mm],there was significant difference (P < 0.01).In control group,vertical diameter and anteroposterior diameter of the pons maximum in 21-30 years group and 31-40 years group,increased with age,the value had been reduced,but there was no significant difference (P > 0.05).Conclusion MR is the first choice for the diagnosis of OPCA,combine with clinical manifestations may improve the diagnostic accuracy.

ObjectiveTo comprehend the similarities and differences of postoperative quality of life between mastectomie avec dissection axillaire and modified radical mastectomy among patients with breast cancer,and in order to supply references for establishing corresponding nursing measures. Methods160patients with early breast cancer were selected,40 patients accepted the mastectomie avec dissection axillaire (the conservative group)and 120 patients accepted modified radical mastectomy (the radical group).The quality of life of patients was surveyed with questionnaires. ResultsThe EORTC QLQ-C30 score of the conservative group was not significant than the radical group.The EORTC QLQ-BR 23 score showed that the conservative group had a better self-evaluation of their configuration. ConclusionsThe patients who accepted the mastectomie avec dissection axillaire will live a better life than those who accepted modified radical mastectomy.

Objectives To investigate the clinical characteristics and diagnosis of Gaucher disease. Methods The clini-cal features, enzyme activities and genetypes of an infant with Gaucher disease II were analyzed. Results The main clinical manifestations of the infant included hepatosplenomegaly, ocular dyscinesia and mental retardation. Gaucher′s cells could be seen in the bone marrow aspirates. Glucocerebrosidase activity was low (0.3 nmol/g/min). Serum chitotriosidase activity was high (87317 nmol/L/min). GBA mutations were M85T (c.371T>C) and R120W (c.475C>T). Conlusions Main features of Gau-cher disease II are hepatosplenomegaly with nerve system injury. Glucocerebrosidase activity and gene analysis are important for the diagnosis of Gaucher disease.

ObjectiveTo analyze clinical manifestations and treatment of eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE) in children.MethodsThe clinical data of 10 children with EGE under the treatment from June 2014 to June 2012 were analyzed retrospectively.ResultsThere were 10 children (6 males and 4 females) aged from 9 months to 14 years. Clin-ical symptoms of eight preschool and school age children included abdominal pain (8 cases), vomiting (4 cases), diarrhea (3 cases), ascites (3 cases), rash (3 cases), fever (2 cases) and hypoalbuminemia (2 cases). Clinical symptoms of two in-fant and toddler were diarrhea and hematochezia. Peripheral blood eosinophils were increased in 10 children. IgE was elevated in 9 children. One child had very high C-reactive protein. Endoscopic examination showed mucosal congestion, swelling, erythema, erosion. Multiple sites of biopsy showed eosinophil count> 20/HP. One child was diagnosed by lap-aroscopic exploration. The treatment included diet avoidance, omeprazole, anti-allergic drug. Four children were treated with corticosteroids. All children had been followed up for 6 months to 2 years. One child had relapsed.Conclusion The clinical manifestations of EGE are various. Endoscopic biopsy is necessary for diagnosis. Laparoscopy also is help-ful for diagnosis. Dietary and glucocorticoid therapy were effective.
