Objective:To explore the efficacy of nimodipine in treating cognitive impairment of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) and the value of magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in CSVD.Methods:A total of 80 patients with CVSD and cognitive dysfunction who admitted to Suzhou Municipal Hospital from February 2018 to February 2019 were selected, and the patients were divided into control group (40 patiengts) and observation group (40 patients) by random number table method. The control group received basic treatment and donepezil, and the observation group added nimodipine on the basis of control group. All patients were followed up for 12 months. Before treatment, 6 months after treatment and 12 months after treatment, the patients’Montreal cognitive assessment scale (MoCA) score, daily living ability scale (ADL) score, and Tinetti balance and gait analysis(TGA) were recorded. The levels of total cholesterol (TC), triacylglycerol (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), homocysteine (Hcy) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) before and after treatment were recorded. The changes of DTI data before and after 12 months′ treatment in the two groups were recorded.Results:The MoCA score, ADL score, and TGA score of the two groups were higher than those before treatment and at 6 months and 12 months after treatment, and those 12 months after treatment were higher than those at 6 months after treatment. There were significant differences ( P<0.05). The MoCA and ADL scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group at 6 and 12 months after treatment at 6 months: (24.61 ± 2.54) scores vs. (22.21 ± 2.83) scores, (71.53 ± 6.25) scores vs. ( 69.51 ± 6.81) scores; 12 months: (26.39 ± 2.16) scores vs. (23.76 ± 2.64) scores, (78.39 ± 5.76) scores vs. (72.39 ± 6.12) scores, P<0.05. At 6 months and 12 months after treatment, the visual space and execution ability, delayed memory, and orientation scores were higher than those before treatment, and in the observation group 12 months after treatment was higher than those 6 months after treatment: (5.97 ± 1.37) scores vs. (5.36 ± 1.29) scores, P<0.05. The observation group′s visual space and executive ability, abstract thinking, delayed memory, and orientation score were higher than those in the control group at the same period ( P<0.05). The levels of TC, TG, LDL-C, Hcy and hs-CRP of the two groups after treatment for 6 and 12 months were lower than those before treatment, and the levels of these index at 12 months after treatment were lower than those at 6 months after treatment ( P<0.05). The levels of Hcy and hs-CRP in the observation group were lower than those in the control group at 12 months after treatment, and Hcy was lower than that in the control group at 6 months after treatment ( P<0.05). After treatment, the fractional anisotropy (FA) values of the center, frontal lobe, and parietal lobe of both sides of the two groups were higher than those before treatment, and the difference in the observation group before and after treatment was higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05). After treatment, the mean diffusivity (MD) values of both frontal lobe and parietal lobe of the two groups were lower than those before treatment, and the difference between the observation group before and after treatment was higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Nimodipine has a good effect on the treatment of CVSD, which can effectively improve the patients′ cognitive impairment and other symptoms. DTI can sensitively sense the white matter integrity and cerebral blood flow perfusion of patients, which has a positive significance for the prevention and treatment of CVSD.

Objective To investigate the effect and the mechanism of different G-CSF-priming protocols on leukemia cell lines (HL-60 and U937) in vitro and provide the clinical guidance to clinical treatment of acute leukemia.Methods The leukemia cell lines HL-60 and U937 were used as model to detect the effects of three drugs alone and combined two drugs (HA) or three drugs (HAG) respectively.Cell viability and cell growth inhibition were performed by cell count kit-8 (CCK-8) assay.Apoptotic marker AnnexinV/PI,cell membrane surface antigen CD11b,cell cycle,mitochondrial membrane potential (JC-1) and Caspase-3 were determined by flow cytometry.Results After using of HAG for 48 h,HL-60 and U937 cells counts were decreased significantly and the apoptotic marker Annexin V was significantly increased. To compare the single drug group with two drug combination group,the result was significantly different (P <0.05),and the apoptosis of U937 cells was higher than HL-60 cell line.CD11b expression among the three groups did not change (P > 0.05).Using of CAG and MAG,the mitochondrial nembrane potential of HL-60 and U937cells was increased,the three-drug combination group was significantly higher than single-drug group and control group (P <0.05); Caspase-3 was activated,the fluorescence intensities of Caspase-3 of the three-drug combination group and single drug group were significantly higher (P <0.05) comparing with the control group.Conclusion HAG regimen could induce leukemia cells to apoptosis through the reduction of mitochondrial membrane potential and the activation of Caspase-3 to induce apoptosis of leukemia cells.

The paper presented the competence theory,and its application in the current hospital recruitment in China.Based on existing studies,the authors proposed a competence-based hospital recruitment indicator system and measurement approach,consisting of 15 level-1 indicators and 16 level-2 indicators.They also named the merits of such a system compared to conventional ones as evidenced in practice.On such basis the paper proposed to further improve such a system and mechanism,as well as the quantitative research and empirical study of the competence indicator system.

Objective To investigate the effect of arsenic trioxide on expression VEGF of lymphoma cells. Methods The VEGF mRNA expression was analysed by by Real-time PCR, and VEGF protein expression in Raji and Jurkat lymphoma cell lines by ELISA. Results ATO can inhibit lymphoma cells by inducing apoptosis. ATO induced lymphoma cell apoptosis was due to time.With the period of ATO effecting on cells goes, the expression of VEGF mRNA and the protein were down-regulated significantly (after 24, 48, 72 h). There were, the VEGF mRNA △△Ct data of treated with ATO, at 12 h, for Raji: 0.75±0.15, 72 h, Jurkat: 1.67±0.13. After 72 h, Raji: 8.95±0.38; Jurkat: 9.09±0.16 (f =3.54, P <0.01; t =3.65, P <0.01). And about the VEGF protein, at 12 h, Raji: 198.38±4.37; Jurkat: 563.11±3.81. After 72 h, Raji: 23.55±2.06; Jurkat: 57.11 ±3.88 (t =2.48, P <0.05; t =2.59, P <0.05). Conclusion ATO can inhibit the proliferation of lymphoma cells by down-regulating the expression of VEGF mRNA and its protein.
