A 63-year-old female patient received Ⅳ infusions of salvianolate,cattle encephalon glycoside,and pantoprazole and an intramuscular injection of diphenhydramine (only once) in Emergency Department for dizziness,nausea,vomiting,and weakness of lower limbs.Laboratory tests showed no abnormalities in liver function.Craniocerebral CT showed multiple lacunar ischemic demyelination and bilateral internal carotid atherosclerosis.The patient was diagnosed with lacunar cerebral infarction and admitted to hospital.On the night of admission,oral rosuvastatin calcium 10 mg/d and clopidogrel75 mg/d were given.Eleven hours later,laboratory tests showed aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 254 U/L and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 157 U/L.Salvianolate and pantoprazole were discontinued and reduced glutathione was given.On day 3 of reduced glutathione treatment,laboratory tests showed AST 587 U/L and ALT 660 U/L.Rosuvastatin calcium-induced liver transaminase elevation was considered.Then rosuvastatin calcium was discontinued and compound glycyrrhizin was given.On day 9 of rosuvastatin calcium withdrawal,laboratory tests showed AST 112 U/L and ALT 201 U/L,and then reduced glutathione was discontinued.On day 15 of rosuvastatin calcium withdrawal,laboratory tests showed AST 42 U/L and ALT 63 U/L,and then compound glycyrrhizin was discontinued.The patient was discharged 4 days later.At 2 weeks of follow-up,no abnormalities in liver function were found in the patient.

Objective To investigate the effects of nutritional treatment in patients with AIDS.Methods A total of 104 HIV/AIDS patients with a total score of nutritional risk screening≥3 were divided into two groups:observation group (n =50) who were treated with nutritional therapy,control group(n =54) who refused nutritional treatment.The changes of parameters in two groups were observed before(I0) and 1 month after (I1)treatment and 3 months after treatment (I2).Results Compare with thecontrol group,the weight,BMI and ALB in observation group were higher at the time of I1 and I2 (P＜0.05);Except for Hb and ALB,the other indexes had significant difference between the time of I0,I1,I2 in control group.While all the indexes had significant differencebetween the time of I0,I1,I2 in observation group.Conclusion Long-term comprehensive nutritional therapy can improve the nutritional status of AIDS patients,which provides patients with a good basis for anti-viral treatment.

Objective To explore the association between body mass index(BMI)/waist circumference (WC)and blood triglyceride(TG)level in adults. To evaluate the value of the BMI and WC in diagnosing the hypertriglyceridemia by the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Methods A total of 1 093 adults(707men and 356 women)were examined in our hospital from July to September in 2008.Height,weight,WC and blood triglyceride were measured and analyzed.The ROC curve was drawn to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the threshold values.Results The hypertriglyceridemia rate was 33.5%among men and 8.3%among women.The BMI and WC of hypertriglyceridemia group were significantly higher than those of normal TG group for both men and women(P<0.01).The area under ROC curve was 0.728±0.041 for men and 0.708±0.021 for women when using BMI to predict hypertriglyceridemia.The optimal threshold value was 24.5 for men and 22.5 for women.The area under ROC curve was 0.790±0.042 for men and 0.714±0.020 for women when using WC to predict hypertriglyceridemia.The optimal threshold value was 86 cm for men and 77 cm for women.Conclusions Both BMI and WC are associated blood triglyceride level. WC and BMI are useful parameters in predicting hypertriglyceridemia.

Aim To investigate the effects of chloride on the injury of the ventricular myocytes from anoxia-reoxygenation. Methods Under the conditions of anoxia-reoxygenation injury, primary cultured rat ventricular myocytes were treated with 4-acetanide- 4′-isothiocya- natostilbene -2,2′-disulfonic acid (SITS),4,4′,-dii sothiocya-nostilbene-2,2′-disulfonicacid (DIDS) or replaced Cl~- with equimolar gluconate, respectively. Then the cell viability and the contents of Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD)and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in the media were measured. Results The release of LDH and MDA was significantly increased in the anoxia-reoxygenation group, while the cell viability and the activity of SOD, GSH-Px decreased significantly compared with those in the control group. In both Cl~--free+ A-R group and SITS+A-R group, LDH and MDA release was noticeably lower than those of the A-R group, while the cell viability and the activity of SOD, GSH-Px significantly increased compared with those in the anoxia-reoxygenation group. But the cell viability and the contents of LDH, MDA, SOD and GSH-Px in the DIDS+A-R group had no significant change compared with those in the anoxia-reoxygenation group.Conclusion Cl~- plays an important role in anoxia reoxygenation injury. SITS provides effective protection to the cardiac myocyte subjected to anoxia reoxygenation injury, while DIDS cannot provide such protection.
