In recent years, there's a new theory of lipid condensation or accumulation being the etiology for obstruction of qi in the chest result in heart disease. The theory believes that thick lipid exists in meridians. If one takes too much fatty diet, there will be lipid condensation or accumulation, resulting in disturbance of qi transformation in meridians,. Scholars explore the relationship of preventive treatment of disease by traditional Chinese medicine with lipid condensation or accumulation theory. This enriches the etiology of TCM.

0.05), which were lower than that with manual compression. The failure rates were 8.3% and 9.2% respectively, but the vascular complications were less than 1%. Hematoma and femoral artery infection were seen in the PCI group, but happened less compared with manual compression. The removing of the arterial sheaths will not be limited by the anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapies, and it could be performed immediately after CAG and PCI, making hemostasis more easy to archeive. It could also reduce the burden of the medical staff, and be accepted by the patients. Conclusion Femoral arterial closure following PCI using regular and intensive anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapies could be safe and effective with vascular complication rates similar to or lower than with manual pressure.

BACKGROUND: Coronary angiography is called "the golden standard" for the diagnosis of coronary heart disease (CAD). Foreshortening of vessel segments in angiographic projection images usually caused by the inappropriate projection angles or positions may lead to misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the optimal angiographic views of main coronary artery and its branches in different somatotype or heart type patients and to investigate the specific relationships between the optimal angiographic views and the different somatotypes and heart types with computer-assisted techniques.DESIGN: A controlled observation.SETTING: Department of Cardiology, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University.PARTICIPANTS: Altogether 1 369 patients were admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University to undergo coronary angiography from January 2001 to December 2006 and recruited for this study. Written informed consents of coronary angiography were obtained from all the patients. The protocol was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Medical College of Nanchang University.METHODS: All 1 369 inpatients were assigned into 3 groups by body mass index (BMI): fat somatotype group (n =489, BMI: 26-31 kg/m2, transverse heart type), general somatotype group (n =502, BMI: 23-25 kg/m2, general heart type), and thin somatotype group (n =378, BMI: 17-22 kg/m2 vertical heart type). In each group, all arteries including left main coronary artery (LM), proximal segment of the anterior descending coronary artery (LAD), distal-mid segment of LAD, proximal segment of circumflex branch (LCX), distal-mid segment of LCX, proximal-mid and distal segments of right coronary artery (RCA) were properly and carefully analyzed using Compart software, and then we got its optimal angiographic viewing angle. Finally, we arranged these data and induced whether different somatotype group patients have different optimal angiographic viewing angles specifically for some coronary artery or not.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Optimal angiographic viewing angles.RESULTS: All 1369 patients participated in the final analysis. Optimal angiographic viewing angle for LM: left anterior oblique (LAO)(40±5)°/ caudal (CAU)(25±5)° or right left anterior oblique (RAO) 25°/CAU35°. In the fat somatotype group, the angle should be added 10° to its optimal angle, and in the thin somatotype group, the angle should be decreased by 10°, and the differences between the general somatotype group and the fat somatotype group or the thin somatotype group were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Optimal angiographic viewing angle for proximal segment of LAD: RAO (50±8)°/ cranial (CRA)(23±8)°. In the fat somatotype group, the optimal angle should be added 10°, but in the thin somatotype group, it should be decreased by 10°. The differences between the general somatotype group and the fat somatotype group or the thin somatotype group were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Optimal angiographic viewing angle for distal-mid segment of LAD: RAO (40±5)°/CRA (45±5)° or LAO (11±5)°/CRA (45±5)°. Optimal angiographic viewing angle for proximal segment of LCX: LAO (45±5)°/CAU (35±5)° or anteroposterior (AP)/CAU36°. Optimal angiographic viewing angle for distal-mid segmental of LCX: LAO (45±5)°/CAU (35±5)° or RAO (6±4)°/CAU (30±5)°. Optimal angiographic viewing angle for proximal-mid segment of RCA: LAO (35±5)°/CAU (14±5)° or LAO (48±5)°/CRA (15±5)°. For the thin or fat somatotype group, the optimal LAO angle should be increased by 15°, the optimal RAO angle should be decreased by10° for fat somatotype group and should be increased by 10° for thin somatotype group, and the differences between the general somatotype group and the fat somatotype group or the thin somatotype group were statistically significantly (P < 0.05). Optimal angiographic viewing angle for distal segment of RCA: LAO (53±5)°/CAU (17±5)°.CONCLUSION: The message can be got clearly about the whole coronary artery and the accuracy percentage of stenosis by changing angiographic viewing angle regularly to its own optimal angle in different somatotype or heart type patients. It's very important for making the choice of diagnosis and therapy

Purpose To investigate whether thoracotomy can induce lung injury in the operative side and the protection by ambroxol in this procedure. Methods 24 patients with esophageal carcinoma who were performed esophagectomy with anastomosis over the arcus aortae were randomized into 2 groups:an ambroxol group (ambroxol 1 g iv gtt qd×3,preoperatively) and a controlled group without any respiratory medication.General anesthesia by tracheo-cannula combined with continuous epidual anesthesia were used in all the patients.Bilateral broncho-alveolar lavage(BAL) was carried out after intubation preoperatively and before removal of the cannula postoperatively.Total Phospholipid(TPL),Saturated Phosphaytidylcholine(SatPC) and Total protein(TP) in the BALF were measured.The ratio of SatPC/TPL and SatPC/TP represented the activity of PS. Results In the controlled group,SatPC/TPL and SatPC/TP of the left lung(operation side) showed significant difference(P<0.05),compared with the right side(non-operation side).In the ambroxol group,no significant difference of such ratio was showed. Conclusions Thoracotomy can induce lung injury and bring out the decrease of PS and increase of protein exudation in the operative side.Large dose of ambroxol can promote in synthesize and secretion of PS and protect those changes.

Objective:To illustrate the role of miRNA-143 on the invasiveness of cervical cancer cells. Methods:MiRNA-143 mimics or inhibitor sequences were transiently expressed in the cervical cancer cells by liposome transfection. Transwell assay was ap-plied to test the invasive ability of cervical cancer cells after miRNA-143 over-expression or inhibition. Bioinformatics assay was used to predict the targets of miRNA-143. RT-qPCR and luciferase reporter assay were performed to detect the expression of MACC1 mRNA in the cancer cells. RT-qPCR was conducted to test the expression of miRNA-143 and MACC1 mRNA in 20 fresh primary cervi-cal cancer and their matched para-neoplastic tissues. Statistical analyses were performed to evaluate the association between the expres-sion of miRNA-143 and MACC1 mRNA in the 20 cases of cervical cancer. Results:Transwell assays revealed that the miRNA-143 over-expression inhibited the cell invasiveness, while miRNA-143 inhibition promoted the invasive ability of the cervical cancer cells. Bioinformatics analyses revealed that miRNA-143 could target the 3'-UTR of MACC1. Dual luciferase reporter assay confirmed that miRNA-143 can affect 3'-UTR sequence in MACC1 genes. RT-qPCR analyses indicated that the expression of MACC1 mRNA was ob-viously down-regulated after miRNA-143 over-expression, while significantly increased after the miRNA-143 inhibition. The migration in Caski/miRNA-143 inhibitor cells was obviously elevated after being transfected with MACC1 shRNAs. RT-qPCR analyses showed that the expression of miRNA-143 was obviously decreased in the cancer tissues compared with the normal tissues, while MACC1 mRNA was apparently decreased in cancer tissues compared with the normal ones. Statistical analyses revealed that miRNA-143 was negatively correlated with MACC1 mRNA in the 20 cases of cervical cancer. Conclusion:This study reveals that miRNA-143 is down-regulated in the cervical cancer tissues. MiRNA-143 may play an important role in the regulation of cell invasiveness by targeting MACC1 in the cervical cancer cells.

Objective To observe the effects of endobronchial decimeter wave therapy on ventilation func-tion of patients with the constrictive endobronehial tuberculosis (EBTB). Methods Forty-four EBTB patients weredivided into an experiment group and a control group. All the patients of the two groups were treated with generalchemotherapy, the patients of experiment group accepted endobronehial decimeter wave therapy at the same time. Thepurulent secretion or caseous necrosis of the diseased region was drawn-off from the bronchi lumina by bronchoseope,then the antenna of the decimeter wave irradiator was inserted into the diseased region through the biopsy pore to per-form the radiation. The vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in the 1st second and maximal voluntary ventilationwere tested before and 60 days after the operation. Results Endobronehial decimeter wave therapy significantly re-duced the constriction of bronchi, improved the lung ventilation function, and relieved the anhelation symptom of pa-tients in the experiment group to a significantly larger extent than those in the controls group (P< 0. 01 ). Moreover,the therapeutic effects of endobronchial decimeter wave therapy were more significant for the endomembrane tuberculo-sis with pulmonary closure due to ulcerous necrosis or granulation hyperplasy ( P < 0. 05 ) , but ineffective for the atro-phy due to fibrous constriction. Conclusion Endobronchial decimeter wave therapy could reduce the incidence oflung closure in endomembrane tuberculosis and improve lung function.
