Objective To investigate early nasogastric nutrition on patients with acute decompensated chronic heart failure,and observe its influence on patient's disease outcome.Methods From January 2012 to December 2013,100 cases with acute decompensated chronic heart failure were used as the research subjects,were randomly divided into experimental and control groups with 50 cases each group.Patients of two groups adopt expansion of blood vessels,strong heart,diuresis,and routine anti-infection treatment;Based on this scheme,experimental group adopt early nasogastric nutrition.The cardiac function index,the change of nutritional status and clinical curative effect and the result of follow-up within 1 year after discharge of two groups were compared.Results Left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDD) and left ventricular end-systolic dimension (LVESD) in two groups after treatment were decreased,and the descender of experimental group was superior to that of the control group with statistically significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).After treatment,left ventricular ejection fractions (LVEF) of two groups were improved,and the rise of experimental group was superior to that of control group with statistically significant difference (P ＜0.05).In the two groups after treatment,the serum brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels were significantly decreased,and the descender of the experimental group was more than that of control group with statistically significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).After treatment,body mass index (BMI),the level of serum prealbumin (PA),transferrin (TRF),and the total number of lymphocytes of two groups were increased significantly (P ＜ 0.05);and BMI,the level of serum PA and TRF,and the total number of lymphocytes of the experimental group were significantly better than those of the control group (P ＜ 0.05).The total effective rate of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P ＜ 0.05).The exacerbation rates,readmission and mortality rate of experimental group follow-up within 1 year after discharge were significantly lower than that of the control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The early nasogastric nutrition on the patients with acute decompensated chronic heart failure was better able to improve patients' nutrition state,more conducive to patients with cardiac function recovery,improve the clinical curative effect,and reduce the exacerbation rates,and readmission and mortality rate.

OBJECTIVETo compare the efficacy between eccentric fixation and internal fixation for treatment of intertrochanteric fractures of femur,to provide a theoretical basis for the selection of the treatment method of the intertrochanteric fractures of femur.

METHODSFrom February 2007 to January 2010,82 patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture were treated by internal fixation including 39 cases of eccentric fixation involving 23 males and 6 females, aged from 41 to 81 years old with an average of (62.68±10.69), using the DHS or proximal femoral locking plate; 43 cases of intramedullary fixation involving 15 males, 28 females,aged from 43 to 78 years old with an average of (62.60±8.37),using PFN or PFNA fixed. The surgical incision length, operative time, blood loss and postoperative Harris score between two groups were compared.

RESULTSThe wound of two groups were primary healing without operative complications. All cases received follow-up for an average time of 18.3 months (12 to 28 months). The incision length, operative time and blood loss had a statistically significant difference between two groups (P<0.05). Harris scores of hip joint function at 1 month after operation had statistically significant difference between two groups (P<0.05), and Harris scores at 12 months after operation had no statistical significance difference between two groups. The rate of excellent and good was 89.7% in eccentric fixation group and 90.7% in intramedullary fixation group,the difference was not statistically significant (t=0.0613, P>0.05). In eccentric fixation group, there was 1 case of fracture nonunion with DHS loose and ensuing hip varus deformity. In intramedullary nail fixation group, there was no anti-rotation out,distal intramedullary nail of femoral refracture occurred in 1 case.

CONCLUSIONTwo treatment methods for the treatment of femoral fractures had a good therapeutic effect,but the intramedullary fixation had shorter operative time and less blood loss than the eccentric fixation,it prior to apply to osteoporosis and unstable femoral intertrochanteric fractures.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effects of sacral canal injection on nerve root local inflammatory factors in rat model with lumbar disc herniation, in order to identify its mechanism of treatment.

METHODSForty-eight male SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group(group A), model group (group B), Chinese medicine group(group C) and western medicine group(group D). There were 12 rats in each group. The model of lumbar disc herniation was established using compression and inflammatory stimulation in group B, C, D. All rats were given epidural catheterization and group A and B with physiological saline (1 ml/kg), group C with mixed liquor of 2% lidocaine and compound Danshen injections and physiological saline (2:2: 16) and group D with mixed liquor of 2% lidocaine and triamcinolone acetonide injection and physiological saline (2:2:16), once a week for a total of three treatments. Four rats were killed every 1 week after injection for once, and the inflammatory factors of tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), interleukin-l (IL-1) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were detected by ELISA method.

RESULTSThe levels of TNF-alpha, PGE2, IL-1 and IL-6 in compressed nerve tissues in group B were increased than those of group A (P < 0.01). The levels of PGE2, IL-1 and IL-6 in group C and D were decreased than those of group B, and group D was much less(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in level of TNF-alpha among group B, C, D (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONCompound compression with inflammatory stimulation can lead to massive release of inflammatory mediators, such as TNF-alpha, PGE2, IL-1 and IL-6. Both injection with compound Danshen injections and triamcinolone acetonide injections by sacral canal can reduce the levels of part inflammatory mediators (PGE2, IL-1 and IL-6), and the effect of Glucocorticoid is better than Danshen (P < 0.05).

BACKGROUNDTo explore the effect of treating hepatitis hyperbilirubinemia with Chinese traditional "cooling the blood and invigorating blood circulation" method.

METHODSSeventy-two patients were randomly divided into two groups. The control group (n=36) was treated with hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) 80-120 mg daily on the basis of routine western medicine treatment. The therapy group (n=36) was treated with "cooling the blood and invigorating blood circulation" decoction on the basis of routine western medicine treatment. After using the medicine for 28 days, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBIL), albumin (ALB) in plasma were measured to compare the effects of the two methods.

RESULTSThe effective rate of the therapy group was 80.55%, that of the control group was 50%. There was significant difference in efficacy between the two groups (P<0.05).

CONCLUSION"Cooling the blood and invigorating blood circulation" method may be effective and safe in the treatment of hepatitis hyperbilirubinemia.

Objective To analyze the incidence, clinical feature and late complications, and treatment for diabetes ketoacidosis (DKA) in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus.Methods Ninty children with type 1 diabetes mellitus within 10 years were retrospectively reviewed.The onset situation,clinical feature and long-term complication,and treatment of DKA were analized.Results High morbidity was found in 10 to 16 years old children.DKA was often caused by infection; late complications of diabetes mellitus was resulted from interrupted injection of insulin.Conclusions Emergency treatment for DKA may involve the injection of small dose insulin,correction of the disorder of water and electrolysis and regulation of acid-base.The education of patients and parents about diabetes mellitus and long-term injection of insulin are of importance in preventing the complications.

Objective To observe the effects of fosinopril(FOS),a new generation angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor(ACEI),on protein and mRNA expression of transforming growth factor-?_1(TGF-?_1) of rat glomerular mesangial cell(GMC) induced by lipopolysaccharide(LPS);to demonstrate the preventive mechanism against glomerular sclerosis by applying FOS.Methods The cultured GMC in classic way were divided into 3 groups:control group;LPS group;LPS+FOS group.TGF-?_1 concentration in GMC supernatant fluid was detected by ELISA;TGF-?_1 mRNA expression was determined by semiquantitative real-time RT-PCR.Results LPS group was obviously higher than control groups in TGF-?_1 secretion and mRNA expression,while LPS+FOS group decreased distinctively in TGF-?_1 secretion and mRNA expression compared with LPS group.Conclusions FOS has obviously inhibited on TGF-?_1 expression of rat GMC both at protein level and mRNA level,which reveals that it may be an important mechanism by FOS on restraining the development of glomerulosclerosis.

A new thermophilic fungus J18 isolated from the soil samples was identified as Paecilomyces thermophila. This strain produced effectively xylanase utilizing several lignocellulosic materials in the solid-state fermentation (SSF) , and wheat straw was the best carbon source. The results of single-factor-experiment showed that the wheat straw of particle size 0. 3 mm ~ 0.45 mm, initial moisture content of 83% , initial pH of 7. 0 and cultivation temperature of 50℃were the optimal conditions for xylanase production. Under the optimized conditions, it produced 18 580 U/g dry substrate after 8 days of cultivation. Therefore, xylanase production by Paecilomyces thermophila in SSF possess great potential for commercial applications.

Objective To develop an ideal cultural method to amplify embryonic hepatic stem cells and inhibit their differentiation in vitro. Methods Suspension of ED 14 Fischer (F) 344 rat em-bryonic hepatic stem cells was prepared by collagenase digestion and mechanical disaggregation. Then cells were divided into two groups randomly. The cells in group 1 were seeded into type I collagen-coated plates by adherent culture while those in group 2 were seeded into soft agar medium by suspen-sion culture. After culture for 2 weeks, the morphology and ultrastructure of cells in both groups were observed and compared by inverted microscope and transmission electron microscope, respectivley.The expression of CD90. 1 and CD49F, the two specific stem cell surface markers, was tested by flow cytometry to manifest the establishment of embryonic hepatic stem cells. Alkaline phosphatase stai-ning was used to detect stem cell differentiation. Result Embryonic hepatic stem cells in group 2 were characterized by higher nucleus-cytoplasm ratio and less cell organelles, higher expression of CD90. 1 and CD49F, and stronger positive reaction for alkaline phosphatase staining compared with those in group 1. Moreover, the cells in group 1 showed significant differentiation features. Conclusion Em-bryonic hepatic stem cells cultured suspendedly in soft agar medium experience less differentiation than those adherently cultured in serum-added culture medium, and can proliferate and form clone ball with a specific stem cell feature.
