ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Naoxueshu oral liquid on cerebral hemorrhage caused by hypertension. Methods140 patients with cerebral hemorrhage were randomly dividied into two groups with a 1∶1 ratio,treatment group and control group. Patients in treatment group received Naoxueshu oral liquid 30 ml daily,while that in control received Naoxuekang oral liquid 30 ml daily. The changes of score on Chinese medical integration,National Institutes of Health (NIH) Stroke scale and the volume of intracranial hemorrhage were evaluated before and a month after treatment.ResultsThe decrease of NIH score of patients in treatment group was (12.73±3.94),but(4.72±3.01) with the control's (t=13.5327,P<0.001). The decrease of the volume of intracranial hemorrhage of patients in treatment group was (13.28±4.17) ml,but (8.37±7.24) ml with the control's(t=4.9228,P<0.001). ConclusionComparing with Naoxuekang,Naoxueshu can accelerate absorption of hematome and ameliorate the recovery of neurological disability more efficiently.

Objective To summarize the clinical features,treatment and prognosis of infantile hepatic hemangioendothelioma(IHHE) combined with congestive heart failure(CHF) in children.Methods A retrospective analysis was made with the clinical data from 4 children with IHHE combined with CHF in Department of Pediatric Cardiology,Affiliated Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center of Guangzhou Medical University from May 2013 to December 2015.Results Among 4 infants,there were 3 male and 1 female,mean aged of 109 days (21-219 days),the average weight of 4 350 g (2 750-6 500 g),and 1 case was admitted because of abdominal swelling and respiratory distress,1 case of abdominal swelling,jaundice,shortness of breath admission,1 case of fever and shortness of breath admission,and 1 case of cyanosis and shortness of breath admission.Two patients were associated with hemangioma and Kasabach-Merritt syndrome.Three cases had multiple liver hemangioma scattered in the left lobe and right lobe of the liver,and 1 case had solitary liver hemangioma scattered in the right lobe.Tumor size diameters were ranged from 2-10 mm.Four children had been used Prednisone [1-2 mg/(kg · d)] and Digoxin,Dopamine,Furosemide,Spironolactone.Two cases responsed well to the therapy and were followed up for 2 years or 1 year and 6 months respectively,whose heart size,heart function and pulmonary hypertension became normal.One case with Kasabach-Merritt syndrome responsed poorly to the therapy.Two cases experienced transcatheter hepatic arteriovenous fistula embolization by using coil occlusion of hepatic artery-venous fistula.The postoperative hepatic tumor volume was significantly decreased,and the heart function was improved.One patient was followed up for 1 year and 6 months,and the heart size,pulmonary hypertension and heart function returned to normal.One case was still under follow-up.One case with Kasabach-Merritt syndrome died from heart failure and severe infection before surgery.The mortality rate was 25％ (1/4 cases).Conclusions IHHE is a rare cause of CHF in children.If heart failure is found unexplained in children,abdominal ultrasound or CT examination should be done immediatey in order to confirm the presence or absence of IHHE.The mortality rate in IHHE associated with CHF is very high.Early identification,early intervention,especially Prednisone combined with transcatheter hepatic arteriovenous fistula embolization can significantly improve heart function,reduce the mortality and improve the prognosis of IHHE associated with CHF in children.

Objective To evaluate the role of phosphoinositide 3 kinase/protein kinase B/glycogen synthase kinase 3β (PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β) signaling pathway in mitigation of ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury by diazoxide postconditioning in isolated rat hearts.Methods Pathogen-free Sprague-Dawley rats were used in the study.Thirty hearts were excised and passively perfused in a Langendorff apparatus with oxygenated K-H solution at 37 ℃.The hearts were randomly divided into 5 groups (n =6 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),I/R group,diazoxide postconditioning group (group DZ),PI3K inhibitor LY294002 group (group LY),and diazoxide postconditioning + LY294002 group (group DZ + LY).In group C,the hearts were continuously perfused with K-H solution for 70 min.In group I/R,the hearts were perfused with cardioplegic solution 4 ℃ ST-Thomas 10 ml/kg,the perfusion pump was then stopped to induce global ischemia,and 40 min later the hearts were perfused with K-H solution for 30 min.In DZ group,5 min of retrograde perfusion with diazoxide 50μmol/L was performed through the aorta starting from the onset of reperfusion.In LY group,5 min of retrograde perfusion with LY294002 15 μnol/L was performed through the aorta starting from the onset of reperfusion.In LY + DZ group,5 min of retrograde perfusion with LY294002 15 μmol/L was performed through the aorta starting from the onset of reperfusion,followed by 5 min of retrograde perfusion with diazoxide 50 μmol/L.At 20 min of stabilization (T1) and 30 min of reperfusion (T2),heart rate (HR),coronary flow (CF),left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP),left ventricular developed pressure (LVEDP) and ± dp/dtmax were measured.The expression of total Akt (t-Akt) and total GSK-3β (t-GSK-3β) and phosphorylation of Akt and GSK-3β in myocardial tissues were determined by Western blot.Results Compared with C group,HR,LVDP and ± dp/dtmax were significantly decreased,and LVEDP was increased at T2 in the other four groups,CF was decreased in I/R,LY and DZ + LY groups,and the phosphorylation of Akt and GSK-3β in myocardial tissues was increased in DZ group.Compared with I/R group,HR,CF,LVDP and ± dp/dtmax were significantly increased,and LVEDP was decreased at T2,and the phosphorylation of Akt and GSK-3β in myocardial tissues was increased in DZ group,and no significant changes were found in the phosphorylation of Akt and GSK-3 β in LY and DZ + LY groups.Compared with DZ group,HR,CF,LVDP and ± dp/dtmax were significantly decreased,LVEDP was increased,and the phosphorylation of Akt and GSK-3β in myocardial tissues was decreased in LY and DZ + LY groups.Conclusion PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β signaling pathway is involved in the mechanism by which diazoxide postconditioning mitigates I/R injury in isolated rat hearts.

Aim To discuss whether specific mitochon-drial ATP-sensitive potassium channel opener diazoxide ( DZ ) postconditioning activates RISK signaling path-way to protect isolated rat hearts against ischemica reperfusion injury ( IRI ) . Methods Langendorff de-vice was used to establish rat in vitro model of myocar-dial ischemia reperfusion. SD rats were randomly di-vided into normal group ( NOR ) , control group ( CON ) , diazoxide after treatment group ( DZ ) , and LY294002 antagonistic nitrogen Triazine group ( DZ +LY) , with 8 cases in each. The following was com-pared:①whether heart function of each group changed at the end of equilibration and reperfusion; ② at the end of myocardial perfusion and separation, protein was extracted, and protein kinase B ( PKB / Akt ) , P70S6 kinase (P70S6K), endothelial nitric oxide syn-thase ( eNOS) phosphorylation level of expression were analysed by Western blot. Results ① Indicators of changes in heart function: for DZ group at the end of reperfusion , HR , CF , LVDP , LVEDP , +d p/d tmax and -dp/dtmax were significantly better than those in CON group and DZ + LY group ( P <0.01 ) , but worse than those in NOR group ( P <0.01 ); there was no statistical difference in cardioac function at the end of equilibration. ② For DZ group at the end of reperfu-sion Akt, P70S6K, eNOS phosphorylation level of ex-pression were significantly higher than those in NOR group, CON group, and DZ + LY group (P<0.01). There was no difference in expression level of ERK1/2 phosphorylation ( P >0.05 ) . Conclusion Diazoxide postconditioning through the activation of RISK signa-ling pathway can protect isolated rat hearts against is-chemia reperfusion injury.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of different doses of oxaliplatin on the efficacy and safety and related index-es of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE). METHODS:100 HCC patients were randomly divided into control group (50 cases) and observation group (50 cases). After TACE,control group re-ceived arterial infusion chemotherapy of 40 mg/m2 oxaliplatin,once a day+20 mg Epirubicin hydrochloride for injection,once a day,with little lipiodol. Observation group received arterial infusion chemotherapy of 80 mg/m2 oxaliplatin (the same usage with control group)+Epirubicin hydrochloride for injection(the same dosage with control group),with little lipiodol. Alanine aminotrans-ferase (ALT),aspartate aminotransferase (AST),total bilirubin (TBIL),white blood cell count (WBC) and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in 2 groups after 3 d treatment were observed,and the total overall survival (OS) and the incidence of adverse reactions were followed-up. RESULTS:Abdominal pain,incidences of nausea and vomiting,ALT,AST and TBIL in observation group were significantly higher than control group,WBC was significantly lower than control group,the differences were statistically sig-nificant (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in fever,hair loss,incidence of peripheral neurotoxicity,OS in 1 year and 3 years,and AFP in 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Compared with 40 mg/m2 oxaliplatin,80 mg/m2 can reduce the in-cidence of abdominal pain,nausea,vomiting,but other effects are poor than 40 mg/m2,and it can not prolong the survival time of patients.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy of entecavir combined with intervention in the treatment of liver cancer patients with HBV DNA-negative hepatitis B. METHODS:100 liver cancer patients with HBV DNA-negative hepatitis B were random-ly divided into observation group and control group,50 cases in each group. Control group received intervention,percutaneous punc-ture of femoral artery,then injected Pirarubicin hydrochloride for injection + lipiodol in parent artery until blood stagnation,and also conventional liver protection therapy was conducted;observation group additionally received 1 mg Entecavir tablet,qd,for continuous 6 months. Clinical efficacy,HBV DNA quantification,Child-Pugh score and liver function indexes in 2 groups were compared. RE-SULTS:The total effective rate in observation group was 44.0%,which was significantly higher than control group(26.0%),the dif-ference was statistically significant(P<0.05). There were no significant differences in HBV DNA quantification,Child-Pugh score and liver function indexes between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,HBV DNA quantification,Child-Pugh score,fetoprotein,alanine aminotransferase, total bilirubin and aspartate aminotransferase significantly decreased in observation group,the differences were statis-tically significant compared with control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Entecavir combined with intervention can obviously im-prove the clinical efficacy and liver function indexes of liver cancer patients with HBV DNA-negative hepatitis B.
