ObjectiveTo investigate the intervention of level of atorvastatin calcium tablets (lipitor) on soluble CD40 (CD40L) and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in patients with angina.Methods 65 patients with coronary heart disease were divided into stable angina (SA group,n= 30) and unstable angina (UA group,n= 35).The vein blood was collected in the hospitalized morning,2,4,6 weeks after treatment and serum levels of hs-CRP and CD40L were measured and compared between the two groups.ResultsThe levels of soluable CD40L [(20.52± 2.91)μg/L] and CRP [(7.96±1.69) mg/L] in UA group were higher than SA group [(7.96±-1.35) tg/L and ( 1.58 ± 0.91 ) mg/L] (t = 21.705、18.493,both P＜ 0.05) before treatment,and after treatment,their levels in the two groups were significantly lower than pre-treatment (P＜0.01).ConclusionsCD40L and hs-CRP may involved in the pathophysiology of unstable angina process and can be used as an indicator reflecting vulnerable plaque.Lipitor might enhance stability of atherosclerotic plaque and prevent acute coronary events by reducing levels of CD40L and hs-CRP.

To promote the development of key discipline construction in hospitals,we described the integration of refined management into the construction of key disciplines and different aspects including personnel training,featured specialty,research,and hardware were discussed.We concluded that refined management in essential to the development of hospital,and a mechanism needs to be established to ensure the long-term effect.

Caveolae is a specified micro-domain of plasma membrane, which consists of caveolin and many lipid molecules and membrane proteins. Caveolae plays important roles in internalization of extra-membrane molecules, transmembrane signal transdution and transport of cholesterin. Recent studies indicated that caveolae and its components were up-regulated in multidrug resistant tumor cells and might participate the development of multidrug resistance of tumor cells. This paper concentrated on the role of caveolae in tumor multidrug resistance.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of tolterodine tartrate in treating patients with early overactive bladder(OAB) symptoms after transurethral resection prostate (TURP).Methods Thirty-one patients who received TURP and were found OAB at recent follow-up were enrolled and divided by random digits table method into study group ( 16 cases) and control group ( 15 cases).The patients in study group were treated with 2 mg tolterodine tartrate twice a day for four weeks,while the changes of OAB in control group were observed.The OAB symptoms score (OABSS),maximum flow rate(Qmax),24 h urination and adverse reactions during the period of medication of two groups before and after treatment were recorded and observed.Results The second evaluation,all the indexes except Qmax in study group improved significantly compared with those of the first evaluation in study group and control group the second evaluation.The indexes included urination times[(6.8 ± 1.0) times vs.( 12.5 ± 1.5) times,(11.8 ± 1.2)times],urgency times[(1.4 ± 1.1) times vs.(4.1 ±2.2) times,(4.1 ±2.3) times],urine volume [(214 ±36) ml vs.( 177 ± 46) ml,( 178 ± 44) ml ],nocturia times [ ( 1.9 ± 0.7) times vs.(2.9 ± 1.3 ) times,(2.8 ±1.4) times ],urge incontinence times [ (0.6 ± 0.5 ) times vs.( 1.6 ± 1.0) times,( 1.5 ± 1.0) times ].OABSS in study group the second evaluation was significantly lower than that in the first evaluation in study group and the second evaluation in control group [ (3.6 ± 1.8 ) scores vs.( 7.6 ± 3.3 ) scores,(7.4 ± 3.2) scores,P ＜ 0.01 or ＜ 0.05 ].There was no statistical significance in all the indexes in control group between the first evaluation and the second evaluation (P ＞ 0.05).There were 2 cases with adverse reactions which performed as dry mouth which could be tolerant.ConclusionTolterodine tartrate is efficient and safe in treating patients with early OAB symptoms after TURP.

This paper reviewed and analyzed the management and performance of 43 key clinical pmjeets in recent ten years in Fudan University(the clinical part of original Shanghai Medical University).It was found that hardware equipments of clinic,the ability of disease prevention,diagnosis and treatment obviously improved,the talent training and personnel structure received outstanding outcome,the academic level of basic researches got obvious promotion,the preponderant disciplines established gradually and consolidated,and the center radiation effect showed preliminary success under the aid of key project fund.Constructing the key clinical projects should boost actively amalgamation of medicine and sciences and pay a great attention to develop the medicine auxiliary discipline to further enlarge the clinical research achievements and fully display the guidance function for the development of our country~clinical medicine discipline under the new situation.

In order to establish more simple and effective rat orthotopic lung transplantation models, 20 rats were divided into donor and recipient groups. Rat lung transplantation models were established by using improved cuff technique. All the 10 operations were accomplished successfully. The mean operative time of recipients was 45 +/- 4 min. The survival time was over 30 days after lung transplantation. The checks of X-ray were almost normal. There was no significant difference in the blood gas analysis before and after clipping the right hilum (P > .05). This method is more simple, applicable and requires less time.

This paper introduces the disadvantages of traditional surgeon training model,discusses the significance and urgency of founding training center of surgical techniques and skills,and explores the details on how to found training center of surgical techniques and skills and its function and application in surgeon training.

Objective To assess the effect of nicotinic acid on hyperphosphatemia in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.Methods Twenty-six MHD patients with stable disease condition and hyperphosphatemia that could not be successfully controlled by conventional methods were selected.All patients were treated with oral nicotinic acid for 20 weeks.The changes of serum calcium,high sensitivity Creactive protein (hs-CRP),albumin (ALB),aspartate aminotransferase (AST),alanine aminotransferase (ALT),gamma-glutmyltransferase (GGT),total bilirubin (TBIL),derect bilirubin (DBIL),high density lipoprotein cholesferol (HDL-C),low density lipoprotein cholesferol (LDL-C),triacylglycerol (TG),total cholesterol (TC),intact parathyroid hormone,hemoglobin,platelet count,etc were observed before and after treatment.Results Two patients withdrew from this study because.of pruritus and diarrhea after two weeks of oral nicotinic acid.In 24 cases,compared with that before treatment,the serum phosphate,calcium-phosphorus product was decreased [(1.49 ± 0.19) mmol/L vs.(2.13 ± 0.16) mmol/L,(4.40 ± 0.49)mmol2/L2 vs.(5.45 ± 0.36) mmol2/L2] and HDL-C was increased [(1.45 ± 0.14) mmol/L vs.(1.18 ± 0.15)mmol/L] after treatment,and there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the serum calcium,iPTH,LDL-C,TG,TC,ALB,AST,ALT,GGT,TBIL,DBIL,hs-CRP,platelet count,hemoglobin between before and after treatment (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Nicotinic acid is effective as all adjuvant measure in control of hyperphosphatemia in patients on MHD and can increase HDL-C.It provides a new approach for the treatment of hyperphosphatemia.

Objective To investigate the effects of stretch load on the ultramicrostructure and c-kit expression of the bladder interstitial cells of cajal (ICCs) in rats. Methods Rat model with detrusor overactivity due to partial outflow obstruction with bladder neck ligation were established. The effects of stretch load on the changes of ultramicrostructure of the bladder ICCs were observed by scanning electron microscopy. The changes in c-kit gene expression of ICCs in stable, overactive, and normal detrusors were analyzed with RT-PCR. Results The ultramicrostructure of the ICCs changed significantly. The expression of c-kit was significantly higher in the overactive group than that in stable and normal groups (P
