ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of early activities after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) on duration and expenditure of hospitalization and activities of daily living (ADL) of patients.Methods68 AMI inpatients without complications were divided into the early activity group (33 cases) and control group (35 cases). Patients of the early activity group started early activity training by the bed from the 2nd day after admission, and those of the control group from the 10th day. One week before discharge, ADL of all patients were assessed with Barthel index (BI), and duration and expenditure of hospitalization of two groups were compared.ResultsThe average duration and expenditure of hospitalization in the early activity group were obviously lower than those in the control group (P<0.05～0.01), but the total scores of ADL and the scores of most items at discharge were markedly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05～0.01).ConclusionEarly activity training by the bed can obviously shorten the duration of hospitalization, reduce the medical cost and improve the ADL of AMI patients.

Objective We adopt acupuncture associating with TAX,to investigate the anti-cancer effect and mechanism.Methods 48 mice with inoculated Lewis Lung Carcinoma were divided randomly into 4 groups:model group,acupuncture group,medicine group,combination of acupuncture and medicine group.Growth state of the mice and change curve of tumour.Protein expression of apoptosis related factor p53 and Bc1-2 in tumour were observed by Western Blotting method.Results Acupuncture,TAX and the combination of acupuncture and TAX separately had anti-tumor effect,with the combination was the best and improve growth state of the mice.p53 and bc1-2 can be detected in four groups.Compared with model group,the expression of other groups was lower.Compared with acupuncture group and medicine group, the exprission of combination group of acupuncture and TAX was lower.Conclution Combination of acupuncture and TAX can prohibit p53 Mutant and decrease Bcl-2,which have co-operating effect.

Objective To summarize the effect of bronchoscopy for sputum suction on aspiration pneumonia in elderly patients. Methods 45 elderly patients with aspiration pneumonia treated with bronchoscopy for early sputum suction on the basis of comprehensive treatment were assigned into group A ,and another 44 elderly patients with the same disease receiving the only comprehensive treatment as the control group (group B). After treatment,the two groups were compared in terms of temperature,WBC,arterial blood partial pressure of oxygen and lung shadow resolution. The key links in the operative manipulation were summarized. Results In group A, the temperature and WBC both resumed to the normal level, the time for increased arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) in group A was significantly shorter than in group B and lung shadow resolution significantly more evident than in group B (P < 0.01). In group A, the sputum suction was completed and there were no cases of death and serious complications. Conclusions Early bronchoscopy for sputum suction in the treatment of aspiration pneumonia in elderly people is effective. Skilled operation and accurate grasping of the key points of the suction process make sure that this technology can be more applicable in clinical practice.

ObjectiveTo investigate the age distribution of serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) and explore its correlation with fasting blood glucose(FBG)and lipid in the male elderly.MethodsThe levels of FBG,triglyceride (TG),low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C),high density lipoprotein (HDL-C) and PSA were reviewed in 2903 elderly men (aged ≥ 60 years) in our hospital.The subjects were classified into 6 groups by age,and PSA levels were compared among groups.The correlations of FBG,TG,LDL-C,HDL-C with PSA were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis.Results The level of PSA had the trend to increase with age.Positive association of TG,LDL with serum PSA level,but negative correlation between HDL and serum PSA level were noted in the group aged 60-64 years (r=0.10,0.15,0.12,P＜0.05).In the group aged 66-69 years,there was negative relationship between FBG and serum PSA(r= 0.10,P＜0.05).No relationship could be found in other groups (P＞0.05).ConclusionsPSA level may increase with age,but without relation with FBG,TG,LDL-C and HDL-C.

Objective To detect the expression of translationally controlled tumor protein (TCTP) in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) tissue and cell lines A431 and SCL-1,and to evaluate the effect of TCTP on apoptosis in and proliferation of SCC cells.Methods An immunohistochemical method was used to measure the expression of TCTP in tissue specimens from 65 patients with SCC.Western blot was performed to detect the expression of TCTP in A431 and SCL-1 cells.Three small interference RNAs (siRNAs) targeting the TPT1 gene were designed,synthesized,and transfected into A431 cells.Then,reverse transcription (RT)-PCR and Western blot were conducted to measure the expression of TPT1 mRNA and TCTP,respectively,methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay and flow cytometry were carried out to detect cell proliferation and apoptosis,respectively.Results TCTP was overexpressed in SCC tissue specimens,and the expression level was positively correlated with the histologic grading of SCC (P ＜ 0.05).Western blot showed that TCTP was expressed in both A431 and SCL-1 cells,and the expression was relatively high in A431 cells.The transfection efficiency of siRNAs varied from 90％ to 95％.A decrease in the expression of TPT1 mRNA and TCTP was induced by the siRNAs in A375 cells (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The downregulation of TCTP expression may increase the apoptosis in and suppress the proliferation of A431 cells.

Background Corneal contact lens have been widely used in vitrectomy.The corneal ring accompanying with the contact lens therefore is also much concerned.We designed a sutureless silicone corneal ring to renew a suturing?ring,but its detection of physicochemical properties and hiocompatihility is necessary for clinical application. Objective This study was to investigate the physicochemical properties and biocompatibility of the newly designed sutureless silicone corneal ring. Methods The Shore hardness,tensile stress-strain tests,tear strength,transmittance and the haze of the novel silicone ring were tested.The bioeompatibility of sutureless silicone corneal ring to corneal epithelial cells was evaluated by determining cytotoxieity.The ring was implanted into the counjunctival soc of 6 Japanese white rabbits for 4 hours to determine its stimulation response by measuring the area of corneal fluorescence staining,and then the ring was placed on the skin surface of 6 SD rats for 4 hours to assess the presence of allergic reaction by calculating the swelling area of skin. Results The new sutureless silicone corneal ring showed good physiological features with a Shore hardness of 63.4 degree,tensile strength more than 5.86 MPa,elongation＞100%and tear strength 34 kN/m.The transmittance of 3 legs in the ring was more than 93%;however,the haze was less than 0.1%.Cytotoxicity of the ring was 3.1 1×10-6%.No obvious corneal fluorescence staining was seen at any time point in all the rabbit eyes in the stimulating test.Furthermore,there was not any skin swelling in various time points in all the SD rats in the allergy test. Conclusion The physicochemical properties of the silastic used in our newly designed sutureless silicone cornea ring can meet the demands of the ring.The biological evaluation complies with the ISO i0993-1 international standards and meets the demands of the organism.Thus,it is all ideal material to use in constructing the corneal ring.

Objective:To explore the correlation among cardiac troponin I (cTnI),cardiac troponin T (cTnT),crea-tine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB)levels and range of myocardial infarction in aged patients with acute myocardial in-farction (AMI).Methods:Clinical data of 80 aged AMI patients hospitalized in our internal medicine department from Sep 2012 to Sep 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.Correlation among levels of cTnI,cTnT,CK-MB and range of myocardial infarction were analyzed before and one week after treatment.Results:Compared with before treatment,there were significant reductions in levels of cTnI [(4.63±0.21)μg/L vs.(0.15±0.03)μg/L],cTnT [(0.71±0.05)μg/L vs.(0.17±0.01)μg/L],CK-MB [(40.21±2.13)U/L vs.(23.32±2.11)U/L]and myo-cardial infarction area [(35.25±4.65)mm2 vs.(23.17±3.76)mm2 ]after treatment,P <0.01 all;Pearson cor-relation analysis indicated that cTnI,cTnT and CK-MB were all positively correlated with myocardial infarction area (r =0.99,0.98,0.95,P <0.01 all).Conclusion:Cardiac troponin I,T and creatine kinase isoenzyme are closely related to myocardial infarction range.Combination of these three indexes can be used as important basis for judging myocardial infarction range in patients with myocardial infarction.
