Objective:To explore the effect of modified Chushi Weiling Decoction combined with fire acupuncture in the treatment of chronic eczema with spleen deficiency and dampness syndrome.Methods:A total of 106 patients with chronic eczema who met the inclusion criteria from January 2018 to January 2020 in Shandong Taishan hospital were randomly divided into two groups by random number table method, with 53 patients in each group. The control group was treated with loratadine tablets and compound glycyrrhizin tablets, and the observation group was treated with modified Chushi Weiling Decoction combined with fire acupuncture. Both groups were treated for 8 weeks and followed up for 12 months. TCM syndrome scores were performed before and after treatment, Eczema area and severity index (EASI) was used to assess the severity of eczema, and pruritus was assessed by pruritus VAS scale. The serum IgE level was detected by nephelometry, and eosinophils (EOS) count was detected by automatic hematology analyzer. The adverse events and recurrence were recorded and the clinical response rate was evaluated.Results:The response rate was 94.34% (50/53) in the observation group and 77.36% (41/53) in the control group. There was significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=6.29, P=0.012). After treatment, the score of TCM syndrome, EASI and VAS of pruritus in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t values were 11.97, 6.31 and 10.61 respectively, all Ps<0.001). After treatment, the serum IgE level [(57.19±7.54) IU/ml vs. (81.55±12.08) IU/ml, t=12.45], EOS count [(310.54± 52.84) ×10 6/L vs. (465.51±58.04) ×10 6/L, t=14.37] in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.01). The incidence of adverse events was 15.09% (8/53) in the control group and 3.77% (2/53) in the observation group, and there was significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=3.98, P=0.046). The recurrence rate was 6.00% (3/50) in the observation group and 21.95% (9/41) in the control group, and there was significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=5.01, P=0.025). Conclusion:Modified Chushi Weiling Decoction combined with fire acupuncture can improve the skin lesions and itching symptoms, improve the clinical efficacy, reduce the long-term recurrence rate of patients with chronic eczema with spleen deficiency and dampness syndrome safely.

Objectives: To explore weather oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES) may predict the prognosis in patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH). Methods: The consecutive newly diagnosed IPAH patients in our hospital from 2010-11 to 2015-06 were prospectively enrolled and regular follow-up study was conducted to record cardiovascular events (death and lung transplantation). Kaplan–Meier curve, uni- and multivariate Cox regression analysis were performed to assess the survival rate in relevant patients. Results: A total of 210 IPAH patients at the mean age of (32±10) years were finished cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) and received regular follow-up study including 159 female. There were 31 patients died and 1 received lung transplantation over 41 months follow-up period. OUES was positively related to peak oxygen uptake (VO2)/body weight (r=0.71, P<0.0001). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that OUESI and NT-proBNP could independently predict the prognosis of IPAH patients. The 5-year survival rate in patients with OUESI≤0.52 L/(min?m2) was lower than those with OUESI>0.52 L/(min?m2) (41.9% vs 89.8%), P<0.0001.Conclusion: OUES as a submaximal CPET parameter may well predict the prognosis in IPAH patients.

Objective To explore the role of hydrogen sulfide (H 2S ) in acute liver injury induced by crush-ing hind lim bs of rats. Methods The rats w ere random ly divided into the follow ing groups:control, crush-ing, H 2S donor sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) + crushing, H 2S inhibitor propargylglycine (PAG ) + crush-ing group. The acute liver injury m odel w as established by crushing the hind lim bs of rats w ith standard w eight. R ats w ere sacrificed at 30 m in and 120 m in after the crush. The activities of serum aspartate am inotransferase (AST) and alanine am inotransferase (ALT) w ere m easured by colorim etric m ethod, and the content of H 2S in plasm a and the contents of m alondialdehyde (MDA), protein carbonyl, glutathione (GSH) in the liver and the activity of H 2S generating enzym e (cystathionine γ-lyase, CSE) w ere deter-m ined by chem ical m ethod. The expression of CSEm R N Ain liver w as detected by R T-PCR . Results For crush injury group, the levels of ASTand ALTin serum , MDAand protein carbonyl in liver in-creased. The levels of GSH, CSE, CSEm R N Ain liver and H 2S in serum decreased. The adm inistration of NaHS before lim bs crush could attenuate the changes of liver injury, but the pre-treatm ent w ith PAG could exacerbate the changes. Conclusion The decrease of H 2S production could involve in m ediating the acute liver injury induced by traum atic stress in rats.

Objective:To explore the effect of red blood cell distribution width (RDW) on long-term follow-up study in patients with acute pulmonary thromboembolism (APE).
Methods:A total of 214 consecutive patients with the first episode of APE admitted in our hospital from 2009-01 to 2012-12 were enrolled. The patients were divided into 2 groups:RDW≤15%group, n=202 and RDW>15%group, n=12. Baseline RDW was measured at admission, the follow-up study was conducted at 3, 6, 12 months thereafter, and then at once per year. The major primary end point was chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). The independent predictor for CTEPH occurrence was studied by uni-and multivariate logistic regression analysis and the predictive capability of RDWwas evaluated by ROC curve.
Results: All patients ifnished the follow-up study at the mean of (31±17) months. The overall occurrence rate of CTEPH was 7.5% (16/214), which was higher in RDW>15% group than that in RDW≤15% group (33.3% vs 5.9%, P=0.002). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that with adjusted clinical data and other predictors, RDW>15%was still the strong predictor for CTEPH occurrence (OR=7.916, 95%CI 1.474-42.500, P=0.016). Adding RDW to the evaluating model, the predictive capability could be signiifcantly improved by ROC curve (AUC increased from 0.856 to 0.901, P<0.01).
Conclusion: Elevated RDW is the independent predictor for CTEPH occurrence in APE patients, which is helpful to estimate the prognosis and treatment strategy in APE patients.

Objective: To evaluate cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) on sildenaifl effect for treating the patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Methods: A total of 25 PAH patients received sildenaifl treatment in our hospital from 2012-01 to 2014-01 were enrolled as PAH group, in addition, there were a Control group including 24 healthy subjects. The CPET, echocardiography, NYHA function class, 6-mimute walking distance (6MWD) and plasma levels of NT-proBNP at the baseline, (6-12) months and (13-18) months after sildenaifl treatment were assessed and compared between 2 groups. Results: Compared with Control group, PAH group showed decreased aerobic capacity (peakVO?2, Peak O2pulse) and ventilation efifciency (PETCO2@AT, VE?/VC?O2@AT), allP<0.05. At (8±2) months after sildenaifl treatment, aerobic capacity and ventilation efifciency was improved, meanwhile, NYHA function class, 6MWD and plasma levels of NT-proBNP were improved, allP<0.05. At (16±2) months after sildenaifl treatment, 6MWD was similar,P=0.26, while peak VO?2 and peak O2 pulse were decreased than they were at (8±2) months after sildenaifl treatment,P=0.04 and 0.06; the ventilation efifciency was elevated (as presented by increased VE?/VC?O2@AT and decreased PETCO2@AT,P=0.04 and P=0.04); plasma level of NT-proBNP was increased,P=0.05. Conclusion: CPET can effectively evaluate sildenaifl effect for treating PAH patients and therefore and guide the drugs therapy.

Objective To study the dosimetric peculiarity of 3D intracavitary brachytherapy in the application of endometrial carcinoma comparing with traditional 2D plans. Method 39 3D brachytherapy treatment plans of 11 patients with endometrial carcinoma were retrospectively analyzed with re?planning 2D treatment plan, the dose volume histogram ( DVH) parameters such as the target dose volume parameters V150 and D90 , the 2?cc doses to organs such as bladder, small intestine, rectum and sigmoid and the total reference air kerma TRAK were analyzed. The differences between the two groups are compared by paired samples T test. Results For target with V<60 cm3 ,there is no statistically significant difference between 2D and 3D plans,the D90 is (551?17±90?33) cGy and (574?15±117?18) cGy,respectively (P=0?390). As the increase of target volume,the D90 came to be significantly different ( P=0?001) , high dose region V150 for 3D and 2D plans is (51?05±21?61) cm3 and (53?41±11?71) cm3, respectively (P=0?482). With the target volume larger than 60 cm3 ,compare to 2D plans, the 3D plan can increase the target coverage as well as OAR dose except for small intestine ( P=0?128) . In addition, with different plan mode,the BMI did not affect the crisis organ dose such as rectum, small intestine, bladder and sigmoid, the P value is 0?239, 0?198,0?744 and 0?834,respectively. Conclusions For endometrial carcinoma,compared with traditional two?dimensional plans,the 3D brachytherapy treatment plans can significantly improve the target coverage and avoiding overdose of organs, clinical curative effect and side effect still needs further observation.
