Objective To investigate insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1) on the protective effect of infant myocarditis.Methods The serum levels of IGF-1 was detected by two-site enzyme-linked immunosorbent assy ( ELISA) and CK-MB by electrochemiluminescence at the acute and convalescent in 50 infant with myocarditis,and 50 normal healthy children as the controls.Results The serum levels of IGF-1 in acute myocarditis was significantly lower than those of healthy children and the convalescen[(22.90 ±9.30) mg/L vs (45.69 ±10.95) mg/L, (38.99 ±9.06)mg/L,all P<0.01],while the CK-MB was significantly higher than those of the control group and the convalescent[(77.48 ±8.71)mg/L vs (14.99 ±7.62)mg/L,(17.99 ±6.31)mg/L,all P<0.01.IGF-1 and CK-MB was negative correlation (r=-0.62,P<0.01).Conclusion IGF-1 is involved in the repair process of myocardial injury in myocarditis infant,and play some protective role in the mechanism.

Objective To investigate the effects of three procedures for hysterectomy.Methods The clinical characteristics of 370 cases who respectively received hysterectomy by total transabdominal hysterectomy(TAH,150 cases),transvaginal hysterectomy(TVH,120 cases),or laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy(LAVH,100 cases)were analyzed and their effects and outcomes and the expenses for medical treatment were compared from 2000 January to 2005 December.Results The average operation time of TAH,TVH and LAVH was(78?28) minutes,(102?35)minutes,(119?28)minutes respectively.The average operation time of TAH was significantly shorter than that of TVH and LAVH groups(P＜0.01).The volume of hemorrhage during operation in TAH group was less than that of other two groups significantly[TAH(53?29)ml,TVH(110?35)ml,LAVH(93?50 )ml](P＜0.01).The average time of bowel function recovery in TAH group[(42?7)hours]was significantly longer than that of TVH[(23?5)hours]or LAVH[(25?4) hours]groups(P＜0.01).The average hospital stay after opera- tion in TAH[(8.9?1.1)days]group was significantly longer than that of TVH[(5.7?2.4)days]or LAVH [(6.3?1.9)days] groups(P＜0.01).The average expenses for medical treatment in LAVH[(7273?938)yuans] group was significantly more than that of TAH[(5594?308)yuans]or TVH[(5450?167)yuans]groups(P＜0.01).But the lesion and the complication after operation of three groups had no difference.Conclusion Different procedures for total hysterectomy have their own advantage and disadvantage.The operation procedure must take ac- count of the economy,echnique of medical treatment and the condition of the hospital.

OBJECTIVETo study the differences in the toxicity of vinegar-processed Kansui Radix on normal and cancerous ascites model rats.

METHODNormal and cancerous ascites model rats were taken as the research objects and orally administered with different doses of vinegar-processed Kansui Radix for 7 d. Pathological sections were prepared to observe the damages in liver, stomach, intestinal tissues in rats and detect the impacts on serum, liver, stomach and intestinal tissues and the oxidative damage index.

RESULTCompared with the blank group, all of normal administration groups and model groups showed significant damages in liver, stomach and intestinal tissues. Compared with the model groups, all of normal administration groups revealed notable alleviation in damages. Compared with the blank group, the model groups showed significant increases in AST, ALT and MDA in serum and liver (P < 0.01) and a significant decrease in GSH in serum and liver, stomach, intestinal tissues (P < 0.01). Compared with the blank group, the results showed significant decreases in ALT, AST in serum and ALT in liver in model low, medium and high dose groups and AST activity in liver tissues in the normal high dose group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01); significant decreases in GSH in serum and stomach tissues in normal low, medium and high dose groups and GSH content in liver and intestinal tissues in normal medium and high dose groups (P < 0.05, P < 0.01); notable rises in MDA in liver tissues in normal low, medium and high dose groups and MDA content in serum and stomach and intestinal tissues in normal medium and high dose groups (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Compared with model groups, data revealed significant decreases in ALT, AST in serum in model low, medium and high dose groups, AST in liver tissues of model medium and high dose groups and ALT activity in liver in the model high dose group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01); significant increases in GSH content in serum and stomach tissues of model low, medium and high dose groups, GSH in liver tissues in model medium and high dose groups and GSH in intestinal tissues in the high dose groups (P < 0.05, P < 0.01); and notable declines in MDA content in serum in model low, medium and high dose groups, MDA in liver tissues of model medium and high dose groups and MDA in stomach and intestinal tissues the high dose group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01).

Objective To investigate the prognostic value of heart rate turbulence (HRT) in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Methods From October 2006 to May 2009, a total of 96 elderly CHF inpatients were selected, and the clinic data were recorded. Based on the echocardiogram and dynamic electrocardiogram, the differences of sinus HRT index of patients with different cardiac function classification were analyzed. During 9-28 months medical follow-up, the treatment endpoint was death from heart disease. Based on Logisitc regression, the prognostic values of HRT, age, hypertension, diabetes, myocardial infarction (MI), left ventricular ejection fraction, ACEI and β- adrenergic blocker for death of CHF patients were analyzed.Results There was no significant difference in HRT between grade Ⅱ and grade Ⅲ cardiac function (χ~2 = 1.60, P>0. 05), and between grade Ⅲ and grade Ⅳ cardiac function (χ~2 = 1.43, P>0. 05). But there was significant difference in HRT between grade Ⅱ and grade Ⅳ cardiac function patients χ~2 =9.84, P<0. 05), and HRT was weaken in grade Ⅳ group. The average follow-up time was (18. 0±9.6) months. Of all 96 patients, there were 34 dead of heart disease. There were correlations of death of CHF with HRT, low LVEF (≤ 45%), age (≥65 years), diabetes, MI and classification of heart function. Conclusions The sinus HRT in CHF patients has a favorable prognostic value.

Objective:To comparatively observe the effects of 20(R)-ginsenoside Rg3 and PEG-PLGA-Rg3 nanoparticles on the Lewis lung cancer mice and to explore the mechanisms of Rg3 and PEG-PLGA-Rg3 nanoparticle anti-cancer in vivo.Methods:Lewis lung cancer mouse model was established and 60 mice were randomly divided into 5 groups with twelve in each group:PEG-PLGA-Rg3 nanoparticles group (Rg3-N),PEG-PLGA group (PEG),Rg3 group (Rg3 ),normal control group (C),saline control group(NS),and received intragastric administration for 1 4 days.The weights of the mice were measured every 2 days and the weight curves were obtained.At the same time,the color pattern,activity and men-tal status were observed.The mice were sacrificed when the administration was over,and the effects of 20 (R)-ginsenoside Rg3 and PEG-PLGA-Rg3 nanoparticles on tumor weight,and the tumor:weight ratios were analysed.In addition,the tumor microvessel density (MVD)was measured by immunohistochemi-cal staining with anti-CD31 antibody to compare the effects of Rg3 and PEG-PLGA-Rg3 nanoparticles on the tumor angiogenesis in vivo.Furthermore,the levels of such angiogenesis and proliferation factors as MMP-9,HIF-1 α,VEGF,Ki-67 were examined by RT-PCR,Western blot and immunohistochemistry to explore the internal molecular mechanisms of anti-tumor effects in vivo.Results:The trends of variation of the mice weights in NS group and PEG group were rising early but declining later.In contrast,the trends of the other three groups were rising early and became stable later.In comparison with NS group, the mice of Rg3 group and Rg3-N group had better general status:brighter color,more active and better spirit.Compared with NS group,the tumor weight in PEG group,Rg3 group and Rg3-N group showed no significant difference but the tumor:weight ratio and MVD in Rg3 group and Rg3-N group declined signi-ficantly (P <0.01 ).Besides,there was no significant difference between Rg3 group and Rg3-N group. At the same time,the level of VEGF mRNA,the protein expression of MMP-9,HIF-1 α,VEGF in Rg3 group and Rg3-N group decreased compared with NS group.Furthermore,the level of each index above-mentioned in Rg3-N group was lower than that in Rg3 group.The expression of Ki-67 in PEG group,Rg3 group and Rg3-N group showed no significant difference compared with NS group.Conclusion:Rg3 and PEG-PLGA-Rg3 nanoparticle may suppress the expression of VEGF,MMP-9 and HIF-1 αin Lewis lung cancer mice,thereby indirectly contributing to their antitumor effects and alleviating the mice’s general status.In addition,PEG-PLGA nanoparticles embedding can promote Rg3 antitumor effect in vivo.
