Objective To observe the efficacy and safety of trimetazidine/coenzyme Q10 combination in the treatment of the elderly patients with chronic heart failure(CHF).Methods Sixty-two male patients aged over 80 years with CHF were randomly divided into intervention group and control group.Patients in control group received optimal conventional CHF therapy according to the guideline for CHF,while patients in intervention group received trimetazidine of 20 mg,3 times per day,coenzyme Q10 20 mg,3 times per day,additionally for 6 weeks.Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF),left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD),plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP),6 min walking distance (6MWT) and NYHA cardiac function classification of two groups before and after treatment were observed.Results Before treatmen,the NYHA function class of patients in intervention and control groups were 2.8±0.7,2.7±0.7 respectively,after treatment were 2.1± 0.6,2.4 ± 0.7 respectively,the differences were significant before and after treatment (t=6.808,2.249;P＜0.01,P＜0.05).Before treatment,BNP of intervention and control groups were (540±351)ng/L,(483 ± 351) ng/L respectively,after treatment were (219± 172) ng/L,(316 ± 202) ng/L respectively,the differences were significant before and after treatment (Z =-4.927,-4.042;P ＜ 0.01).Moreover,after treatment,NYHA function class and plasma BNP in intervention group were significantly better than those in control group (t =-2.109,P ＜ 0.05;Z =-2.219,P ＜ 0.05).Before treatment,LVEF,LVEDD and 6MWT of intervention group were (44.3 ± 3.1) ％,(54.0 ± 4.7) mm and (217.0 ± 60.9) m respectively,after treatment were (46.8±3.9) ％,(53.2±4.3) mm and (267.0±91.1) m respectively,the differences were significant before and after treatment(t=-8.313,2.254,-4.561;P＜0.01 or P＜0.05).Moreover,after treatment,LVEF and 6MWT in intervention group were significantly better than those in control group ((44.9± 3.5)％,(213.2 ±78.1) m;t =2.000,2.186;P ＜ 0.05).No significant adverse events were detected in the intervention group.Conclusion Combination of trimetazidine and coenzyme Q10 on the basis of the conventional treatment in the elderly with CHF,can further improve cardiac dysfunction and have a good safety.

Objective To investigate the cause of high cardiovascular lethality in patients with diabetics mellitus. Methods Sections from autopsied coronary arteries and myocardium of dead patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetics mellitus and 12 dead control subjects were used for histomorphometric studies. Results The coronary atherosclerotic lesion in diabetics patients was not different in severity from those in controls. Nor was there difference in number of myofibers or diameters of myocardic fibers and capillaries.But the capillary density and the ratio of capillary number to myocardic fiber number in diabetics group were significeantly reduced compared with control group(P<0.0 l),and the capillary basement membrane in the former was significantly thicker than in the latter(P<0.01).Conclision The decrease in number of capillaries and the thickening of basement membrane enhance myocardiac vulnerability to further ischemia and hypoxia,which may undelie high lethality of myocardiopathy in diabetic patients.

Objective To study the role of IL 12 and IL 13 mRNA in children with asthma. Methods Use of semi quantitative RT PCR, IL 12 and IL 13 mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC), as well as total IgE in serum from children with asthma, which is in the period of acute phase, were detected. Results Compared with control group, The expression level of IL 12 mRNA were decreased and that of IL 13 mRNA were increased in asthmatic children; The sicker the patient was, the lower expression of IL 12 mRNA, the higher expression of IL 13 mRNA; No matter how the IgE level was, there was significantly different between the expression of IL 12 and IL 13 mRNA. Conclusion IL 12 and IL 13 may be one of the factors causing bronchial chronic inflammation.

ObjectiveTo assess the clinical application of endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD) for early esophageal carcinomas and pre-malignant lesions. MethodsESD was performed for early esophageal carcinomas and intraepithelial neoplasms without submucosal infiltration. First, normal saline was injected into the submucosa to elevate the lesion from the muscle layer. Then, the surrounding mucosa of the lesion were cut, and the lesion was dissected along the connective tissue of the submucosa. ResultsOf 15 early esophageal carcinomas and intraepithelial neoplasms, ranging from 2.5 to 4.5 cm (mean size 3.2 cm) , 14 (93.3%) underwent ESD successfully . All 14 lesions were confirmed pathologically, and no basal or dissected margin was involved. The mean ESD procedure time (from fluid injection to complete dissection) was 75 min ( ranging from 45 to 150 min). Minor bleeding (mean volume 30 ml) occurred in all lesions, which was stopped by electric coagulation, argon plasma coagulation and clamps. No delayed bleeding occurred. The perforation rate of ESD was 0(0/15). Fourteen patients were followed up after ESD for 6 to 18 months (mean=11.5), and healed with no residue or recurrence. ConclusionESD is a novel endoscopic procedure to reseet early esophageal carcinomas and pre-malignant lesions, with which large lesions can be resected and pathological information can be provided.

Objective To evaluate the curative and prophylactic effects of pulmonary surfactant (PS) on neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) by two different administration means. Methods 35 neonates with NRDS were divided into groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ randomly, prophylactic group were randomly divided into groups Ⅲ and Ⅳ, the means of administration in all patients was through tracheal tube. Neonates in group Ⅰ and Ⅲ, were given curosurf in several times with different posture, group Ⅱ and IV were given in one time with supine position. Blood gas analysis, index of mechanical ventilation, the duration of mechanical ventilation, hours of oxygen requirement and hospitalization between Ⅰ and Ⅱ group, the incidence of NRDS between Ⅲ, and IV group were analyzed and compared before and after treatment. Results After treatment for 6 and 24 hours, the oxygenation and lung function of group Ⅰ and Ⅱ improved respectively (P<0.05), the total times of assisted ventilation, Supplemental oxygen therapy and hospitalization were significantly decreased, the differences of those index were no significant between Ⅰ and Ⅱ group (P0.05), the incidence of NRDS have no different between Ⅲ and IV group. Conclusion Pulmonary surfactant is effective and safe for treating and prophylacting NRDS, and have no relationship with the means of administration.
