Objective:To analysis the effects of alprostadil and yishen huashi particles on blood glucose,blood lipid,renal function and urinary podocyte proteins of patients with diabetic nephropathy.Methods:98 patients with diabetic nephropathy were selected and randomly divided into the control group and the experimental group with 49 cases in each group.The patients in the control group were treated with alprostadil,while the patients in the experimental group were treated with yishenhuashui particles on the basis of the control group.Then the curative effect,the levels of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbAlc),blood glucose (FPG),2 h postprandial blood glucose (2h PG),triglycerides (TG),total cholesterol (TC),high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C),low density lipoprotein (LDL-C),blood urea nitrogen (BUN),creatinine (Cr),β2 microglobulin (β2-MG),bladder inhibition (Cys-C) and urinary podocyte proteins (PCX) in the two groups were observed and compared between the two groups before and after the treatment.Results:The total effective rate of experimental group was higher than control group (P＜0.05).After treatment,there was no statistically significant difference about the HbA1c,FPG and 2 HPG between the two groups (P＞0.05).After the treatment,the levels ofTG,TC,LDL-C,BUN,Cr,β2 MG,Cys C,PCX and urinary nephrin/urine Cr of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group (P＜0.05).The HDL-C of experimental group was higher than that of the control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion:The curative is effect of alprostadil and yishen huashi particles in treatment diabetic nephropathy patients,can conducive to the improvement of blood glucose,blood lipid,renal function,reduce the concentration of urinary podocyte related proteins.

Objective To investigate the value of Habib 4X in hepatic resection. Methods The clinical outcome of 21 patients with liver disease who received liver resection at the Tianjin Third Central Hospital from November 2009 to April 2010 were retrospectively evaluated. All the operations were carried out by using Habib 4X. Results All patients received hepatectomy, including right hepatectomy in three patients, left hepatectomy in one patient, multiple segmentectomy in nine patients, single segmentectomy in seven patients and partial liver resection in one patient. All tumors were reseeted completely. The mean operation time was (50±25) minutes and the mean blood loss was(129±117)ml. No patient was transferred to ICU. Three patients were complicated with bile leakage, one with lymphatic leakage and four with pleural effusion, and they were cured by non-surgical treatment. There were no patients with postoperative hemorrhage, incision infection or hepatic failure. No mortality was observed. The mean postoperative hospital stay was(19±14)days. Conclusions Radiofrequency energy was applied along the margins of the tumor to create zones of necrosis before resection with a scalpel, offering hepatobiliary surgeons an additional method for performing liver resections with minimal blood loss, low morbidity and mortality rates. As for malignant tumors, minor or major liver resection assisted by Habib 4X is safe, and it can reduce the chance of positive incisal margin.

OBJECTIVETo observe the anti-inflammatory effect of total saponins of Panax japonicus on LPS-induced RAW264. 7 macrophages.

METHODThe effect of total saponins of P. japonicus of different concentrations on RAW264. 7 cell viability was determined with the MTT method. The NO kit assay was adopted to detect the NO release of total saponins of P. japonicus to LPS-induced RAW264. 7 cells. The enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the secretion of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin 1-beta (IL-1beta). The reverse transeriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to determine the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) ,TNF-alpha,IL-1beta. The protein expression of nuclear transcription factor-kappaB p65 (NF-kappaB p65) was tested by Western blot.

RESULTThe safe medication range of total saponins of P. japonicus was less than 80 mg x L(-1). Compared with the LPS model group, total saponins of P. japonicus high, middle and low dose groups (0.1, 1, 10, 40 mg x L(-1)) could significantly reduce the secretion of NO, TNF-alpha, IL-1beta of LPS-induced RAW264. 7 cells, and inhibit the expressions of iNOS, TNF-alpha and IL-1beta mRNA and the protein expression of NF-kappaB p65.

CONCLUSIONThis study preliminarily proves the protective effect of total saponins of P. japonicus on LPS-induced RAW264.7 macrophages. Its action mechanism may be related to NF-kappaB signal pathway.

Objective To identify the different causes of atrial fibrillation (AF) in Chinese by coronary artery angiography,and to compare the episode of stroke in different patients.Method A total of 782 adult patients diagnosed with AF were identified from Anzhen Hospital over a 8-year period.There were 273 patients with rheumatic valvular AF and 509 patients with nonvalvular AF.The results of electrocardiogram,echocardiography and coronary artery angiography were retrospectiwely analyzed to find out the proportion of causes and to compare the episode of stroke in patients with rheumatic valvular AF with those having nonvalvular AF.Results The patients with rheumatic valvular atrial were significantly younger than of coronary heart disease (52.40?5.03 years old vs 64.30?3.25 years old,P
