Objective To discuss the factors that maybe related to the analysis of results of percutaneous balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty (PBPV) and the changes of cardiac morphology after PBPV. Methods Multiple linear regression was used to study peak gradient, balloon-anulus ratio (BAR), pulmonary orifice area and time of inflation before and after PBPV. One hundred and thirty-eight patients (age between 6 months and 28 years old, mean 8.34?0.81). T test was used to study the diameter and thickness of the right ventricle (RV), and Rv 1 of ECG before and during the follow-up. F test was used to determine peak gradient before and after PBPV and during the follow-up. Results There was a notable reduction in the peak to peak gradient from 13.55?0.69 kPa to 4.51?0.41 kPa (P

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of compound kushen injection (CKI)in the treatment for patients with advanced liver cancers.Methods Relevantly randomized controlled trials from China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI),Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP),Wanfang Data,and Pubmed were searched until November,2014.Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of supportive care compared with combined therapy of CKI in the treatment for patients with advanced liver cancers were included.The methodological quality of RCTs was assessed independently with bias risk according to the Cochrane collaboration.All data were analyzed with the Review Manager 5.3.Results Eight RCTs involving 472 patients were included.The meta-analysis results suggested that the shortterm efficacy of the treatment group be higher (P =0.008) and that the pain relief be a significant benefit in the treatment group (P <0.01).Adverse reactions were not observed.Conclusions CKI is an effective and safe adjuvant drug for advanced liver cancers.

AIM:To investigate the effects of angiotensin Ⅱ(AngⅡ)blockers on TNF-? and the relationship between TNF-? and proteinuria in patients with chronic glomerulonephritis(CGN).METHODS:32 patients examined by biopsy as primary CGN with proteinuria were treated by benazepril,valsartan or combination with benazepril and valsartan for 8 to 12 weeks respectively.The TNF-? levels in serum and urine,24 hours proteinuria quantity,and serum creatinine level were assayed and recorded respectively before and after 8 to 12 weeks therapy.RESULTS:The TNF-? levels in serum and urine and 24 hours proteinuria quantity were reduced significantly after therapy [(7.8?3.9)vs(5.0?1.6)fmol/mL,(11.9?6.8)vs(8.3?3.5)fmol/mL,(2.6?2.0)vs(1.0?0.5)g,respectively;P

H1N1 influenza A spread around the world in 2009.There were lots of patients in China too.We did this research to know the epidemiological feature and transmission route and strengthen the prevention and control measure of the influenza.Methods:We collected the nasopharyngeal swab and serum samples of 56 patients who had flu symptom from the infectious disease department of 1st hospital of Jilin University from October in 2009 to December in 2009.The specific antibody of the serum samples were detected by the blood clots suppression method and the H 1N1 RNA of the nasopharyngeal swab was detected by the Nest-RT-PCR assay.Results:The results of nucleic acid test showed that 21(37.5%) and 16(27.8%) samples were found NP and M of influenza A positive respectively and only 2 ( 3.6%) were found H1N1 of influenza A positive.The results of the blood clots suppression method showed that the serum samples of 27 patients (48.2%) could suppress the red blood cells blot of H 1N1 influenza A specifically and all the antibody titer was more than 1∶320.The antibody titer was more than 1∶5 120 in 8 of them.There′s significant difference of the serum antibody titer between the recovery phase and the acute phase.The specific H1N1 influenza A antibody of 27 (48.2%) serum samples in the recovery phase were positive and it was much higher than the result of nucleic acid test .Conclusion:The nucleic acid could be detected in the acute phase and the serum antibody detection could be done in the later stage .Using both the assays could increase the positive rate of H 1N1 influenza.

AIM:To investigate the effect of TSM tablet on rat's atherosclerotic model's endothelial cell and explore the mechanism of it.METHODS:Fifty Wistar rats were randomly assigned into five groups:control group,model group,Simvastatin group,TSM high group,TSM low group.All groups were fed with high fat diet and vitamin D3 except for control group to set up atherosclerosis model.After 12 weeks we detected circle endothelial cell,angiotensinⅡ and electron microscopy morphology of arteries.RESULTS:Level of circulating enthelia cell(CEC) and AngⅡin model rats were significantly higher.TSM can reduce level of the CEC and AngⅡ.Model group rat's artery endothelial cells were severely damaged under electron microscopy;rat's artery endothelial cellsin TSM group were basically intact and its internal elastic membrane was unbroken on it thickness was even,without significant lesion.CONCLUSION:TSM by reducing the number of CEC,the level of AngⅡ used for experimental atherosclerotic endothelial cell in rats has the protective effect.

ObjectiveTo investigate the expression of CCL2 and its effects on the proliferation and adhesiveness on leukemia cells in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL). MethodsThe bone marrow mesenchymal cells (BMMSC) and bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNC) of 30 ALL patients and 30 healthy controls were studied, and CCL2 level was evaluated by ELISA. CCL2 gene mRNA level in ALL was determined by RT-PCR. The cell proliferation and adhesiveness were detected by MTT assays. The cell counts were measured by flow cytometry. ResultsThe BM plasma levels of CCL2 in patients at diagnosis were significantly higher than that in healthy controls [(780.12±129.61) pg/ml vs (120.49±25.21) pg/ml,t =4.96, P =0.00]. Supernatant levels of CCL2 in BMMSC were significantly higher than that of BMMNC [(572.38±35.39) pg/ml vs (193.85±15.45) pg/ml,t =5.37,P =0.00]in vitro.CCL2 cannot induce leukemia proliferation alone,but could induce leukemia proliferation in BMMNC and BMMSC co-culture in a dose- and time-dependent manner.CCL2 could increase the leukemia adhesive to the BMMSC compared with control (r =0.824,P =0.02).ConclusionPatients with B type ALL had higher levels of CCL2 which was secreted by BMMSC. The leukemia could induce the BMMSC to secrete CCL2. CCL2 could promote the survival and proliferation of leukemia in the presence of BMMSC and BMMNC, and enhance ALL cells adhesion toBMMSC in a dose-dependent manner.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes with the use of a saline-coupled bipolar sealer during liver resection.Methods 101 patients underwent liver resection for primary hepatic carcinoma at the People's Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from August 2015 to December 2016.The patients were divided into two groups according to whether the Aquamantys(R) system was used or not.In group A (n =62) the clamp crushing technique was used for liver parenchymal transection.In group B (n =39) the Aquamantys(R) system was used.The intraoperative and postoperative complication rates were compared.Results The operation time in group B was significantly longer than group A (216.4 min vs.253.5 min,P < 0.05).The intraoperaitve blood loss in group B was significantly less than group A (381.1 ml vs.257.2 ml,P < 0.05),and less blood transfusion was required (211.3 ml vs.90.9 ml,P < 0.05).The volume of abdominal drainage fluid in group B in the first and the 5th day was significantly less than group A (242.6 ml vs.199.2 ml,P<0.05;84.3 ml vs.70.4 ml,P<0.05,respectively).The drainage tube in group B was taken off earlier than in group A (8.1 d vs.7.0 d,P < 0.05).The average hospitalization stay after surgery in group B was also significantly shorter (13.4 d vs.11.6 d,P < 0.05).There was no significant difference in the overall postoperative complication rate (P > 0.05) between the 2 groups,and no death was observed.Conclusion The use of a saline-coupled bipolar sealer (Aquamantys(R)) in liver resection for hepatocellular carcinoma was associated with less intraoperative blood loss and was better for the patients' postoperative recovery.
