Objective To evaluate the changes of platelet aggregation rate and short-term prognosis after the application of colopidgrel with booster doses or replaced by ticagrelor for ACS patients with CYP2C19 medium-metabolized genotype). Method A total of 302 patients with medium-metabolized genotype were randomly divided into colopidgrel group (75 mg/bid) and ticagrelor group (90 mg/bid). Patients in both groups accepted other conventional treatments of coronary heart disease and accompanied diseases. The platelet aggregation rates and platelet inhibition rates were observed before and after the treatment. The incidence of adverse events was followed up within 1 m. Results After one-week treatment, the platelet aggregation rates of the inducement with 5 μmol/L ADP had statistical significance between colopidgrel group and ticagrelor group ( P = 0 . 019 ) and the platelet inhibition rates had statistical significance difference between the two groups (P = 0.000). No severe adverse events occurred within one-month follow-up and 10 dyspnea patients were all in ticagrelor group. Conclusions Compared with booster doses of clopidogrel, ticagrelor presents obvious inhibitory effect on platelet of patients with medium-metabolized of ACS but it increases the incidence of dyspnea.

Objective To observe the protective effect of erythropoietin (EPO) on anoxia of motoneurons after spinal cord injury in rats.Methods The motoneuron was dissociated from neonate Wistar rats and cultivated in vitro with deprivation of oxygen in the medium. The changes of morphology were observed by phase-contrast microscopy, and the expression of EPO receptor (EPOR) was detected with Western blotting. The survival rate of motoneuron was measured with methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay, and the level of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was observed. Results Compared with the control group, the expression of EPOR and the level of LDH increased (P<0.01),and the survival rate of motoneuron decreased (P<0.01) in the anoxia group. Compared with the anoxia group, the expression of EPOR and the level of LDH decreased (P<0.05), and the survival rate of motoneuron increased (P<0.01) in the EPO group, which was related with the level of EPO. Conclusion EPO could relieve the damage of motoneuron caused by anoxia, especially by upregulating EPOR.

Objective To investigate the perceptions of medical staff about chemotherapeutic symptoms in children with leukemia.Method Sixty-one doctors and nurses were involved in the investigation using a self-designed questionnaire on uncomfortable symptom scale.Result The main symptoms of chemotherapy included hair loss,poor appetite,nausea,vomiting, oral mucositis and fatigue.Conclusion Chemotherapeutic symptoms are common in children with leukemia and need appropriate nursing management.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of domestic BuMA biodegradable drug eluting coronary stent in elderly coronary heart disease patients over 75 years old with shortened duration of clopidogrel treatment. Methods 100 elderly patients who received coronary angiography and PCI were included, and they were randomly divided into the observation group ( n=50, received oral clopidogrel for 9 months) and the control group (n=50, received oral clopidogrel for 12 months). The occurance of angina pectoris, AMI, bleeding events and the results of control angiography were compared between the two groups after 12 months of follow-up. Results All the 100 patients were followed up in 12 months after discharge. 4 patients ( 8. 0%) in the observation group and 3 patients ( 6. 0%) in the control group had recurrent angina. Control coronary angiography 12 months later showed no restenosis in the stents. There was no significant difference between the two groups in the recurrence of angina pectoris and coronary stent restenonsis. No acute myocardial infarction,cliniacl bleeding events and late stent thrombosis occurred in the two groups. Conclusions The application of the domestic BuMA biodegradable drug eluting stent for the treatment of coronary heart disease patients over 75 years old is safe and effective with shortened duration of clopidogel treatment.

Apolipoprotein A5(ApoA5)level and other indices were determined in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and healthy individuals.Compared to control group,ApoA5 level in the diabetic group was lower (P

AIM To establish an HPLC method for the simultaneous content determination of saikosaponin a,saikosaponin c,saikosaponin d,rutin,quercetin,isorhmnetin and kaempferol in the aerial and underground parts of “Zhongchai No.2” (Bupleurum chinense DC.from Sichuan Province).METHODS The analysis of “Zhongchai No.2” methanol extract was performed on a 30 ℃ thermostatic Hypersil GOLD column (250 mm × 4.6mm,5.0 μm),with the mobile phase comprising of acetonitrile-0.1％ phosphoric acid flowing at 0.8 mL/min in a gradient elution manner,and the detection wavelength was set at 210 nm.RESULTS Seven constituents showed good linear relationships within their own ranges (r≥0.999 1),whose average recoveries were 96.30％-102.7％ with the RSDs of 0.95％-3.8％.There were a lot of flavonoids in the aerial parts of samples,while a large number of saponins existed in the underground parts,but almost no flavonoids were found.CONCLUSION The aerial parts (stems and leaves) of “Zhongchai No.2” also have medicinal value,to which we should pay attention.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility and results of laryngeal functional preservation surgery for piriform sinus carcinoma with paraglottic space involvement. METHOD: Fourteen cases of piriform sinus carcinoma with paraglottic space involvement were reviewed. Laryngoplasty was performed after tumor was resected, bilater al selective neck dissections were performed at the same stage. Postoperative chemoradiotherapy was applied to 11 patients while the other 3 patients did not receive chemotherapy nor radiotherapy. The follow-up time ranged from 6 months to 5 years, and the mean follow-up time was three and a half years. RESULT: Twelve cases healed primarily while 2 cases experienced delayed heal because of pharyngeal fistula. Postoperative swallow bucking occurred in all patients, the longest gastric feeding time was 2 months. For the patients underwent postoperative chemoradiotherapy, the tumor did not recur in ten cases during the 3 years follow-up, while recurred in another case and the patient died without further treatment. Among those 3 cases without postoperative radiotherapy or chemotherapy, the tumor recurred in 2 cases during the following 6 months and chemoradiotherapy was applied, no recurrence presented in one patient, another one lost of follow-up. For the patient with recurred tumor 8 months after surgery, total laryngectomy was employed with postoperative chemoradiotherapy, the case died of tumor recurrence one and half year after the first surgery. The 3-year survival rate was 78.6%. For the vocal cord at lesion side, the mobility was noticeable in 6 patients, and visible anatomic landmark was lost in the other 8 patients. CONCLUSION Laryngeal function preservated surgery could be performed in selected cases of piriform sinus carcinoma with para-glottic space involvement in order to achieve better clinical results and quality of life.

A male patient,39 years old,presented with symptoms of cataract,dwarf,progeria,polydactyly and genu valgum,after the extracapusular cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation on both eyes,the visual acuity was improved and his fundus examination was normal.As the syndrome is different from any eye syndrome we have ever known,so it maybe a new one.
