Objective To investigate the curative effects of oxalic acid Ai Sciplan in assisting psychological therapy for coronary heart disease accompanied with depression. Methods A total of 136 patients of coronary heart disease with de?pression were randomly divided into control group and treatment group. The routine drug treatment was given to control group. Treatment group was given oxalic acid Ai Sciplan which is assisted by the psychological therapy based on the routine drug treatment schedule for six months. HAMD score before treatment, one-week, one-month, 3-month and 6-month after treatment were compared between two groups. Homocysteine (Hcy) and high sensitive C reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels were detected by circulating enzymatic method before treatment and 6-month after treatment. The WHO quality of life scale (WHOQOL-BREF) was used to assess the quality of life in two groups of patients. The improvements of angina and depressive symptoms were evaluated after 6-month treatment. The cardiovascular events were followed up in two groups. Re?sults HAMD scores significantly decreased after treatment in both groups (P < 0.05). HAMD scores at all different time points were significantly lower after treatment than those before treatment in treatment group. In control group, HAMD scores at different time points were also significantly lower after treatment than those before treatment, except time point of one week after treatment. The levels of Hcy and hs-CRP were decreased after treatment in two groups, and the levels were lower in treatment group than those of control group. Values of WHOQOL-BREF score, mental status, social relations and the sur?rounding environment scores were higher after treatment in both groups. Also they are higher in treatment group than that of control group. The angina and depressive symptoms were improved in treatment group. The incidences of angina, myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, heart failure, sudden cardiac death and other cardiovascular events were significantly lower in treat?ment group than those of control group (χ2=9.396, P<0.05). Conclusion Escitalopram oxalate combined with psychological therapy shows a significant beneficial effect and a better prognosis in the treatment of coronary heart disease and depression.

Objective To determine the effects of adiponectin on high glucose induced BeWo cell proliferation in vitro. Methods BeWo cells were seeded in 96-well plates at the appropriate density. After treatments with high glucose (25 mmol/L), western blot analysis of cyclin D1 and a colorimetric assay (cell counting kit-8, CCK-8) were used to analyse BeWo cells′proliferation, and western blot was used to detect the expression of adiponectin. Moreover, we added adiponectin (20μg/ml) in the culture medium and three methods were utilized for cell proliferation analysis: CCK-8, cell cycle analysis (by flow cytometry) and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) immunocytochemical staining. Results Compared to BeWo cells cultured by normal glucose and high mannitol, the proliferation of BeWo cells treated by high glucose increased (P<0.05). Compared with BeWo cells cultured by high mannitol, the expression of adiponectin in BeWo cells treated by high glucose decreased. After added adiponectin in the culture medium, the proliferation of BeWo cells treated by adiponectin+high glucose decreased than that of cells treated by high glucose (0.770±0.050 versus 0.990±0.070, P<0.05);the proportion of G2+S phases of BeWo cells treated by adiponectin+high glucose decreased than that of cells treated by high glucose [(40.7±2.1)%versus (44.9± 3.9)%, P<0.05];the rate of PCNA positive cell in BeWo cells treated by adiponectin+high glucose decreased than that of cells treated by high glucose [(28 ± 5)% versus (44 ± 5)%, P<0.05]. Conclusion Adiponectin could inhibit proliferation of high glucose induced BeWo cells in vitro.

Objective To investigate the interfractional and intrafractional prostate motion during hypofractionated precise radiotherapy for prostate cancer. Methods From 2013 to 2016, twenty?eight patients who received 5 Gy radiotherapy in 9 fractions for prostate cancer were enrolled as subjects. Every patient had three gold fiducials implanted into the prostate by transrectal ultrasound guidance two weeks before computed tomography ( CT) simulation. All patients underwent CT scans in the supine position with full bladders and rectal balloons filled with 60 ml air. The Pinnacle planning system was used to design the treatment plans. Twenty?three patients were treated with a Synergy accelerator. Those patients underwent cone?beam CT ( CBCT) scans prior to treatment. The set?up error was recorded by bone alignment between CBCT images and planning CT images. The prostate displacement was then recorded by gold fiducial alignment. The interfraction prostate displacement was defined by the difference between the above two parameters. The other 5 patients were treated with a Novalis accelerator. Based on gold fiducial alignment,the real?time tracking of gold fiducials was carried out by the ExacTrac system to evaluate the intrafractional prostate displacement. Results A total of 207 measurements of interfractional prostate displacement were made in the 23 patients before treatment. The mean interfractional prostate displacements in the left?right (LR),superior?inferior (SI),and anterior?posterior (AP) directions were (0.05±0?10),(0.20±0?22),and (0.19±0?18) cm,respectively. The displacements larger than 0?3 cm in the above three directions were observed in 1,52,and 49 measurements,respectively,while the displacements larger than 0?5 cm in the three directions were observed in 1,29,and 16 measurements,respectively. A total of 225 measurements of gold fiducial displacement were made in the 5 patients during treatment. The mean intrafractional prostate displacements in LR,SI,and AP directions were (0.61±0?50),(0.68±0?69),and (0.70±0?67) mm, respectively. The displacements larger than 3 mm in the three directions were observed in 0, 1, and 1 measurement, respectively. Conclusions In hypofractionated precise radiotherapy for prostate cancer, the interfractional prostate displacement is significantly larger than the intrafractional prostate displacement. The interfractional prostate displacement must be corrected before radiotherapy. In order to avoid off?target irradiation due to postural changes in patients,the tracking of the intrafractional prostate displacement is still necessary although the displacement is relatively small. The rectal balloon can help immobilize the prostate.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Weixuening granule combined with prednisone for treatment of patients with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) and its impact on platelet-associated antibodies(PAIgG, PAIgM, PAIgA). Methods Sixty patients with ITP were randomly divided into a observation group (30 cases, Weixuening granule combined with prednisone) and a control group (30 cases, prednisone therapy alone), 3 months constituting a therapeutic course. The clinical effects, platelet count (PLT) and PAIgG, PAIgM, PAIgA of two groups were observed after two courses of treatment. The time of withdrawing prednisone, relapse rate in 1 year and adverse reactions were also monitored. Results The total effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group [90.00%(27/30) vs. 73.33%(22/30), P<0.05]. The time of withdrawing prednisone was significantly shorter in the observation group than that in the control group(days:39.8±7.8 vs. 55.3±6.5, P<0.05). The relapse rate in 1 year in the observation group was obviously lower than that of the control group [23.3%(7/30) vs. 50.0%(15/30), P < 0.05]. The PLT levels were markedly increased after treatment in the two groups, the levels of platelet-associated antibodies PAIgM and PAIgA after treatment in the two groups were lower than those before treatment, and the degree of improvement in observation group was superior to that of the control group [PLT (×109/L):113.25±15.47 vs. 84.79±20.37, PAIgM:(28.91±10.42)%vs. (30.75±9.37)%, PAIgA:(19.32±11.54)%vs. (21.15±15.16)%]. The level of PAIgG in the observation group was decreased obviously after treatment, while in the control group, it did not have significant change before and after treatment, and in the comparison of the level of PAIgG after treatment between the two groups, there was statistical significant difference [(15.29±9.02)%vs (32.41±9.34)%, P<0.05]. There were adverse reactions in the two groups, including centrality obesity, polytrichosis, acne, and hyperglycemia;the incidence of the above side effects in observation group was lower than that of the control group [73.3%(22/30) vs. 86.7%(26/30)], but the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusions The combined use of Weixuening granule and prednisone for treatment of patients with primary ITP is more effective than administration of prednisone alone;the adverse reactions are less in combined therapy group. Possibly, the better therapeutic effect of combined therapy is related to the decrease of platelet-associated antibodies and increase of the platelet generation.
