OBJECTIVE: To investigate the antagonistic effect of Salvia miltiorrhiza on cyclosporine A (CsA)-induced chronic nephrotoxicity. METHODS: 54 patients underwent renal transplantation were divided into 3 groups according to dosage of salvia miltiorrhiza: CsA+high-dose of salvia miltiorrhiza group, CsA+loe-dose of salvia miltiorrhiza group (trial group) and CsA control group (control group). Plasma concentration of CsA, serum creatinine (Scr), blood urea nitrogen (Bun), 24 h urines and 24 h urinary protein were recorded. The parameters of morphology and hemodynamics were compared among 3 groups. The differences of index among 3 groups were analyzed statistically. RESULTS: The level of Scr, Bun and 24 h urinary protein in CsA+high-dose of salvia miltiorrhiza group were decreased significantly while 24 h urines was increased, compared with other 2 groups. There was significant difference among 3 groups (P0.05). The intrarenal blood flow and renal arterial resistance index were increased significantly in CsA+high-dose of salvia miltiorrhiza group. CONCLUSION: High-dose of salvia miltiorrhiza combined with CsA can reduce the CsA-induced nephrotoxicity perfently.

As the dressings currently used in clinic settings unflat shape in general, they can't be fitted completely on occiput, heel, elbow, knee and other body parts unflat. This paper developed one kind of foam dressing of special shape based on local anatomy. The foam dressing is waterproof and air permeable, it can cover the wound closely enough to prevent bacteria from invasion and infection. With a saturated absorption ratio of 1: 8 or higher, it can keep the wound clean and moisture by absorbing large amounts of wound inflammatory secretions and is almost completely permeable to oxygen and carbon dioxide. Assuring safety and effect meanwhile, it has better outcomes than common dressings in the same application settings.

The present study shows that mushroom juice exhibits a significanteffect on growth of L. acidophilus in reconstituted skim milk. When 5% - 10% mushroom juice was added in skim milk, they shorten generation time and the rate of lactic acid production was accelerated. After 10h incubation at 37℃ cell counts of L. acidophilus in test groups were much more than in control group, were up to 108/mL.

Background Essential hypertension (EH) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are frequently co- existed.Previous studies proved that EH can cause arrythmia,whereas,the arrythmia and the structure changed in hypertensive patients coexisted with T2DM are scarely reported.Objective To study the characteristics and mech- anism of arrhythmia in essential hypertension (EH) patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods One hundred sixty eight patients were groupped as follows:EH group (n=65),T2DM group (n=31),EH+T2DM group (n=52),and normal group (n=20).The clinical data,echocardiographies and 24-hour dynamic eletroear- diogram were determined in all patients.Results 1)Arrhythmia incidence in EH+T2DM group was a statistically higher compared to EH group and T2DM group(P

Objective:To evaluate the effect of high intensity interval training on cancer patients.Methods:Web of Science, EBSCO, PubMed, Ovid, EMbase, Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI and Wanfang database were searched for randomized controlled trials of the effect of high intensity interval training on cancer patients, RevMan5.3 software was used for analysis.Results:Eleven articles with a population of 614 were included in the analysis, which involved 323 cases of the intervention group and 291 cases of the control group. The analysis showed that high intensity interval training could improve the total quality of life ( SMD values were 0.40, 95% CI 0.14-0.65, P<0.01) and peak oxygen uptake ( MD values were 3.00, 95% CI 2.19-3.80, P<0.01) of cancer patients, and reduce carotid intima-media thickness ( MD values were -0.06, 95% CI-0.08--0.03, P<0.01), but did not reduce the high-sensitivity C-reactive protein ( MD values were -0.61, 95% CI-1.23-0.01, P>0.05) and body weight ( MD values were 0.16, 95% CI-3.19-3.51, P>0.05). Conclusions:High intensity interval training has a positive impact on quality of life, cardiopulmonary function and carotid intima-media thickness with cancer patients, but has no significant effects on high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and body weight.

The peroneal artery chimeric bone flap combined with chimeric flap of lateral femoral circumflex artery was applied in the repair of a case defects of both ulna and radius arteries combined with large extensive ring-like soft tissue defects of forearm in November, 2018, causing no blood supply to the hand. In the one-stage surgical procedure, anastomosis of the ulnar and radial arteries with the pedicle of the 2 flaps by Flow-through anastomosis were performed and the blood supply of the forearm and hand was restored. Six months after the surgery, the rotation functions of forearm, wrist joint and fingers were recovered. The patient was able to carry out daily activities and some of precision tasks.

Clinical effect is of great importance to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and the rigorous and scientific methods for clinical effect assessment should be highly stressed in the clinical research of TCM. In this article, the authors analyzed the current status of the effect assessment of TCM and proposed some measures to improve the current effect assessment of TCM, in the hope of establishing an internationally accepted system of effect assessment reflecting the superiority and characteristics of TCM therapies.

Neurobiology,one of the important subject in life science frontier,comprises extensive and comprehensive contents.It is significant and essential for each discipline of medicine to offer this course.During last several years of teaching and practice,some methods,skills and ideas have been utilized and summarized.Modem medical education,by offering this course,will accord with the development concept of the transition from biomedicine to bio-psycho-social medical model,and this course will provide the substantial foundation for cultivating qualified medical students.

Objective To compare the results of manually -tested speech recognition threshold (SRT ) with automatically software -recorded SRT in the trial of Mandarin disyllabic test ,exploring the significance to the clini-cal applying .Methods 128 normal people of different ages without hearing loss and 57 workers exposed to noise in an automobile manufacturing was selected .These two group of volunteers speak mainly Mandarin in their daily life . MADSEN Conera (Danmark) clinical audiometr was applied .A group of double syllable word list with the same dif-ficulty of equivalence was used as test material .The initial presentation level was 20 dB HL higher than PTA .Then compared the results of manually -tested SRT with automatically software -recorded SRT .Results In the normal group ,the automatic value SRT was 7 .84 ± 3 .98 dB HL ,the manual value was 9 .19 ± 4 .47 dB HL ,and the average value of speech frequency threshold was 7 .63 ± 5 .78 dB HL .In the noise group ,the automatic value SRT was 6 .10 ± 8 .40 dB HL ,the manual value was 18 .81 ± 9 .52 dB HL ,and the average value of language frequency threshold was 27 .18 ± 19 .13 dB HL .There was significant difference between the values of SRT tested manually and recorded automatically (P<0 .01) .Conclusion There are differences between SRT valued manually and automatically .The SRT in people with normal hearing can be tested using automatic -recorded method .This method is convenient for screening in people without hearing loss .To exam in people with hearing loss ,the manual test is more appropriate .
