Objectives To investigate the risk factors of cardiorenal syndrome type 1 (CRS1) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods The medical date of hospitalized patients with AMI from January,2013 to February,2014 in Hunan Provincial People~ Hospital were reviewed.A total of 265 patients with AMI was divided into CRS1 and non-CRS1 groups.The univariate comparison and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were performed to obtain the CRS1 risk factors.Results In the 265 AMI patients,CRS1 was found in 59 patients (22.3％).Age,history of diabetes,Killip classification,left ventricular ejection fraction (LVFF),baseline serum creatinine,blood urea nitrogen,uric acid,baseline evaluated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR),serum sodium,the left anterior descending artery lesion,emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI),β-blocker,and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor antagonist (ACEI/ARB) were statistically different between CRS1 and non-CRS1 groups (all P ＜ 0.05).Multivariate logistic regression showed that age,history of diabetes,Killip classification,reduced LVEF,reduced eGFR,hyponatremia,the left anterior descending artery lesionn,emergency PCI non-undergo,and β-blocker non-use were independent risk factors for CRS1 after AMI.Conclusions CRS1 is a common complication in AMI patients,which is associated with many factors.Our data suggest that patients with AMI should be more comprehensively assessed and monitored,thereby preventing the occurrence of CRS1.

24. Of 6 patients positive in SDS, 4 cases scored 56 as moderate depression. Mean score was 47.62 for SDS, and 20.31 for HAM before treatment, and 32.23 for SDS, and 8.97 for HAM after 5 weeks of treatment. The differences were statistically significant (P

Extracellular recordings were made in nucleus paragigantocellularis lateralis (PGL) of the rat in response to stimulation of the dorsal periaqueductoral gray matter (dPAG), ventrolateral periaqueductuctoral gray matter (vPAG), deep peroneal nerve (DPN), median nerve (MN) and great splanchnic nerve (GSPL). Stimulation of dPAG or MN evoked mainly excitatory responses while the responses to stimulation of vPAG were inhibitory. However, stimulation of GSPL or DPN produced both inhibitory and excitatory responses. These neurons were not only responsive to one stimulation site, but were likely responsive to any other stimulation sites. Eighty-nine percent of cells tested (73/82) received convergent inputs from two or more sites. Sixty percent (21/35) of the neurons were identified as cardiovascular units based on their barosensitivity and slow conduction velocities of the descending axons projecting into the spinal cord. This result provided new evidence for the integrative function of neurons in PGL under some circumstances.

Abstract: Objective To investigate the differences in epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients with spotted fever (SF) and severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS). Methods A total of 86 patients with SF and 113 patients with SFTS who were laboratory-confirmed in the second-level and above hospitals in Lu'an City from January 2017 to January 2022 were selected. The basic data, epidemiological history, clinical data and laboratory test results of the two diseases were retrospectively analyzed for comparison. Results The proportion of male in SF group was 32.56% (28/86), and the proportion of male in SFTS group was 53.98% (61/113), the difference was statistically significant (χ2=9.067, P<0.01). The proportions of abdominal pain and diarrhea in the SF group were (3.49%, 3/83) and (21.24%, 24/113), which were significantly lower than corresponding (6.98%, 6/86) and (46.90%, 53/113) in the SFTS group (χ2=13.121, 37.322, P<0.01). The incidences of rash and eschar in SF group were 95.35% (82/86) and 20.93% (18/86), which were significantly higher than corresponding 1.77% (2/113) and 0.88% (1/113) in SFTS group (χ2=175.311, 22.721, P<0.01). The levels of leukocytes, platelets and C-reactive protein in the SF group were significantly higher than those in the SFTS group, and the levels of transaminase, lactate dehydrogenase and D-dimer were significantly lower than those in the SFTS group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusions The rash and inflammatory reaction are more obvious in SF patients, while the liver function, myocardial function and coagulation function are significantly impaired in SFTS patients.

A complex disease is rarely a consequence of abnormality in a single gene. It is known that many drugs exhibit a therapeutic effect by acting on multiple targets, produce synergies to intervene the occurrence and development of diseases. Unlike the traditional methods which act on single molecule or pathway, this disease-drug target network constructed with high throughput data vividly showed the complex relationship between drugs, their targets and diseases. However, the networks are usually extremely complex. In order to reduce the complexity, it is necessary to deconstruct the network and identify module structures. In this study, framework of module analysis was summarized from four aspects: module concept, structure and identification methods, importance of disease-drug module identification, and its application. Module-based analysis provides a new perspective for deciphering the drug intervention mechanisms for complex diseases, and provides new ideas and pathways to reveal the mechanisms of multi-target and multi-component drugs.

In order to investigate the characteristics of transdermal delivery of ferulic acid under the treated of microneedle arrays and the influence on permeability of rat skin capillaries, improved Franz-cells were used in the transdermal delivery experiment with the rat skin of abdominal wall and the length of microneedle arrays, different insertion forces, retention time were studied in the influence of characteristics of transdermal delivery of FA. The amount of FA was determined by HPLC system. Intravenous injection Evans blue and FA was added after microneedle arrays treated. Established inflammation model was built by daubing dimethylbenzene. The amount of Evans blue in the rat skin was read at 590 nm wavelength with a Multiskan Go microplate reader. Compared with passive diffusion group the skin pretreated with microneedle arrays had a remarkable enhancement of FA transport (P <0.01). The accumulation of FA increased with the enhancement of insertion force as to as the increase of retention time. Microneedle arrays with different length had a remarkable enhancement of FA transport, but was not related to the increase of the length. The research of FA on the reduce of permeability of rat skin capillaries indicated that the skin pretreated with microneedle arrays could reduce the content of Evans blue in the skins of rat significantly compared with the untreated group. The permeation rate of ferulic acid transdermal delivery had remarkable increase under the treated of microneedle arrays and the length of microneedle arrays ,the retention time so as to the insertion force were important to the transdermal delivery of ferulic acid.

In recent years, more and more research shows that the pharmacokinetic parameter of traditional Chinese medicine can be affected by the disease states. It's possible that drug metabolic enzymes, transporters, cell membrane permeability and the change of microbes group could be interfered with physiological and pathological changes, which enables the pharmacokinetics of traditional Chinese medicine in the body to be altered, including the process of absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion, and then the pharmacokinetic parameters of traditional chinese medicine are altered. It's found that investigating the pharmacokinetic of traditional Chinese medicine in the pathological state is more useful than that of in normal state because the great part of traditional Chinese medicine is mainly used to treat disease. This article reflects the latest research on the pharmacokinetic of traditional Chinese medicine in the disease state such as diabete, cerebral ischemia, liver injury, inflammatory disease, nervous system disorders and fever in order to provide certain reference for clinicians designing reasonable administration dose.

Knee osteoarthritis is a common disease, and also one of the acupuncture advantage treatment disease. Usually the clinicians choose local acupoints based on the characteristics of tendon bone and joint. After a long-term clinical practice, we found that the curative effect could be better if we additionally combine with the abdominal acupoints. We regard this as the breakthrough point to explore the theoretical origin and found that the curative effect of taking the “biao”or“jie” acupoints to treat disease of the limbs is better than just taking the acupoints according to channel tendon therapy. In this paper, we started discussing the basic meaning of “biao”“ben”“gen”“jie”,then studied the relationship between the vertical connection of“biao”“jie” with blood lifting in disease and qi jie playing as a channel in theory. Comparing with clinical report , I proposed the view which is to choose the points of “biao”“ben”to treat limbs disease. This view enriches the theory of acupoints of the treatment of pain diseases, and expends the clinical acupoints in the treatment of osteoarticular diseases.
