Objective To investigate the effect of postremission consolidation therapy with intermedium-dose cytarabine (MDAC) in elderly patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). Methods Clinical data of 61 elderly AML patients (except M3) in postremission who achieved complete remission (CR) in two period of remission induction program were retrospectively analyzed. Results There were 26 cases in MDAC group and 35 cases in standard-dose cytarabine (SDAC) group. In MDAC group and SDAC group, the relapse free survival (RFS) time were 42.7 months and 16.0 months respectively (P= 0.002), the overall survival (OS) time were 44.6 months and 18.2 months respectively (P= 0.004), and the cumulative relapse frequencies rates were 26.9 % (7/26) and 54.3 % (19/35) respectively (x 2= 4.567, P= 0.033). However, 3 years OS rate of the two groups were 23.1%(6/26) and 8.6%(3/35) (x 2=2.496, P=0.114) , and there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Conclusion MDAC could improve RFS and OS for the elderly AML patients in postremission who received CR in the early stage, and the incidence of adverse reactions is similar to that of SDAC.

Objective To investigate the role of activities of sympathetic nerve in the pathogenesis of shoulder-hand syndrome (SHS) by analyzing the hand sympathetic skin response (SSR) at the acute stage of SHS after stroke. Methods 50 stroke patients with SHS at the acute stage were assigned as SHS group, another 50 stroke patients without SHS as control group (N-SHS group) and 50 health volunteers as health group. Every patient was subjected to the detection of bilateral hand SSR. Results The detection rates of SSR in the SHS group and N-SHS group were significantly lower than that in the Health group (P<0.01). In comparison within the SHS group, the amplitude of SSR on the affected hand was apparently higher than on the healthy hand (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference in the SSR latencies in both hands ( P > 0 . 05 ) . In comparison with the health group , bilateral SSR latencies of the SHS group were longer than those of the health group (P<0.05) and bilateral SSR amplitudes were all lower than those of the health group (P<0.01). Conclusions The bilateral hand sympathetic skin responses could change at the acute stage of SHS after stroke, with possible presentations of central inhibition of sympathetic activity. The abnormality of SSR may be an early warning indicator in patients with hemiplegia after stroke complicated with SHS.

Objective To investigate the correlation of endothelial function variation with pulse pressure index in Uygur acute coronary syndrome patients in Xinjiang. Methods Uygur patients were divided into acute coronary syndrome group (n=208) and control group (n=157) according to their Coronary angiography results. Height, weight and blood pressure were measured on admission and basic medical history were recorded. Fasting blood glucose (FBG), three acyl glycerin (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were ex-amined using fasting venous blood;Plasma Coagulation FactorⅧ(CFⅧ) and von Willebrand factor(vWF)were examined using ELISA. Results There are no statistical difference in age, gender, history of hypertension, diabetes history, history of smoking, drinking, body mass index, PPI, HDL-C and FBG between two groups. The systolic pressure, diastolic blood pres-sure, pulse pressure, TG, TC, LDL-C and vWF, CFⅧlevels in acute coronary syndrome group were higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). The levels of plasma vWF and CFⅧwere positively correlated with pulse pressure and PPI, it also was positively correlated between the levels of plasma vWF and CFⅧ(P<0.01). Conclusion The endothelial func-tion was significantly impaired in Xinjiang Uygur patients with acute coronary syndromes, and vascular endothelial damage was positively correlated with pulse pressure and PPI. The pulse pressure and PPI can be used to evaluate the vascular endo-thelial function indirectly.
