ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of Baixuanxiatare capsule combined with isotretinoin capsules on serum interleukin(IL)-8,IL-4 and tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α in patients with tricuspid acne,Three or four degrees of acne in patients with optimal program.Methods 92 patients with acne vulgaris from October 2014 to October 2016 were randomly divided into observation group(n=46)and control group(n=46).The control group was treated with isotretinoin capsules.The levels of IL-8,IL-4,TNF-α,clinical efficacy and side effects were compared between the two groups.Results The scores of IL-8,IL-4 and TNF-α in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The clinical efficacy of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group(P0.05)The total effective rate was significantly higher than that of the control group [95.65％(44/46)vs78.26％(36/46)](P<0.05); the total incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was significantly lower than the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Baixuanxiatare capsule combined with isotretinoin capsules in treating 34 acne acne is more effective than isotretinoin capsules alone and has low side effect,so it is worthy to be popularized.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the relationship among lipoprotein‐associated phospholipase A2 (Lp‐PLA2 ) gene A379V and T403V locus polymorphisms and genetic susceptibility of coronary heart disease (CHD) .Methods:Lp‐PLA2 gene A379V and T403V locus polymorphisms of 160 coronary angiography confirmed CHD patients (CHD group ) and 117 healthy subjects (healthy control group ) were measured using gene sequencing technique .ELISA was used to measure blood lipids and plasma Lp‐PLA2 level in two groups ,and they were compared between two groups . Results:Compared with healthy control group ,there were significant rise in age ,male proportion ,plasma levels of hs‐cTnI ,hsCRP ,TC ,LDL‐C , Lp (a) ,WBC ,mononuclear cells (MNCs) and Lp‐PLA2 [ (119.98 ± 49.41) ng/ml vs .(248.59 ± 76.51) ng/ml] ,and significant reduction in HDL‐C level in CHD group ( P<0.01 all) .The CC , CT , TT genotype and C , T allele were de‐tected all in A379V and T403C locus of two groups .Compared with healthy control group ,there were significant rise in frequencies of CC genotype (1.7% vs .9.3% ) and C allele (13.7% vs .20.3% ) of Lp‐PLA2 gene T403C locus in CHD group , P< 0.05 both . All genotypes and alleles of A379V locus possessed no significant difference between CHD and healthy control group . Conclusion:Plasma Lp‐PLA2 level may be related to CHD risk .Lp‐PLA2 gene T403C locus poly‐morphism possesses certain relationship with genetic susceptibility of CHD .
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the ultrastructures of rat alveolar type II cells and change of composition of phospholipid(PL) and content of protein in pulmonary surfactant(PS), to investigate the relation between change in composition of PL and activity of alveolar type II cells.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The rats lung injury models were made by intratracheally instilling bleomycin(BLM) (4 mg/ml, 5 mg/kg). 28 rats were divided into four groups: 3-day group, 7-day group, 14-day group and 28-day group. Preparations of each group were stained histochemically and examined by electron microscope, content of PL in BALF, composition of PL and content of protein of each group were determined respectively.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>(1) Rats lungs in experimental groups were found that PS lost continuously, appeared homogenous and chorionic, dropped in the pulmonary alveolies. 3-day group was more apparent. Ruthenium red attaching on pulmonary surfactant was thicker in 3-day group, and the colour deeper, no difference in 7-day group and 14-day group, thinner in 28-day group. Content of PL in PS of BALF was increasing. Content of phosphatidylglycerol(PG) increased in 3-day group, decreased in 7-day, 14-day and 28-day group. The change of content of phosphatidylinositol(PI) was reversed. (2) Alveolar type II cells degenerated, necrotized, even disintegrated in 3-day group and 7-day group. 3-day group was more apparent. Proliferations of alveolar type II cells were found in each group, 7-day group was more apparent. We found that type II cells transformed to type I cells in 14-day group, extended and attached on bare basement membrane. Content of protein in PS was the highest in 3-day group, almost equal to the content of the control group in 28-day group.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Morphologic change and alternation of quality and quantity of PS after bleomycin-induced pulmonary injures specifically reflect the activity of alveolar type II cells. Measuring content of PL in BALF is one of simple and feasible method judging activity of alveolar type II cells when lungs of the rats are injured early by bleomycin.</p>

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>To observe the CT appearance and pathological changes of VX2 tumor in rabbit lung after radio-frequency ablation.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>After VX2 tumor tissue suspension was injected into the lungs, the transplanted lung cancer models were established in 36 New Zealand white rabbits. Twenty-eight rabbits were treated with radio-frequency ablation, and another 8 rabbits without any treatment as control. The CT appearances and pathological changes were observed in different time intervals after the treatment in 14 rabbits out of experimental group. The survival periods of the rabbits were recorded in the rest 14 rabbits of experimental group and the control group respectively.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Coagulative necrosis and cell apoptosis appeared in the tumor tissues after the ablation, and inflammatory cells were found in the lung tissues around the areas of ablation. Wadding shadows appeared in CT images after the treatment and disappeared with the inflammation vanished, but the tumor shadows ceased to increase. In the experimental group, tumor tissues were almost necrosed in the target areas of 21 rabbits, however, peripheral residual nests of histologically viable tumor were found in the target areas of the other 7 rabbits. The survival periods of rabbits in the experimental group and the control group were 38 days±3.4 days days and 26 days±2.8 days respectively (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Radio-frequency ablation may be an effective method in the treatment of lung cancer.</p>
ABSTRACT
50%),3 cases speculate that tubecavity didn′t change obviously between cancer lesion and bronchus.The main appearance of bronchiole near lesion distribution was presented as expressed,displacement,going round.There was not constriction obviously or blockage in tubecavity.The main appearance of histology near lesion border was presented as degenerated fibrous tissue envelope and collapse alveoli tissue by lesion expressed.Conclusion The pathological base of interface imaging asymmetry distribution in PLC is bronchial tube emphraxis,lymphatic vessel refluent obstruction,pulmonary interstitial fibrous tissue proliferation,carcinoma infiltration in cancer nodules and lung interface that cancer lesion resulted.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the imaging diagnosis of tumors and tumor-like lesion of fibrous histiocyte origin in the femora.Methods Imaging features of femoral fibrous histiocyte neoplasm and tumor-like lesion were restrospectively analyzed in 17 cases ,including 16 cases proved by surgery and pathology, and one case was follow-up studied in five years.All cases were examined by plain X-ray flim, CT scan in 5 cases. Results There were fibrous dysplasia of bone in 8 cases,non-ossifying fibroma in 5cases ,fibrosarcoma of bone and benign fibrous histiocyte tumor of bone in 1 case respectively ,malignant fibrous histiocyte tumor of bone in 2 cases. They were diagnosed correctly before operation in 13 cases (13/17,76.5%) and misdiagnosed in 4 cases.Conclusion The most of femoral fibrogenic tumor and tumor-like lesion can be dingnosed correctly before operation ,because of they are of specific imaging features, while femoral fibrous histocyte original tumors are not of specific imaging findings, it must combine with clinical and pathologic data in diagnosis.
ABSTRACT
AIM:To investigate the functional changes and histopathological basis of Oddi's sphincter under hypercholesterolemia. METHODS:Twenty - four New Zealand rabbits were equally divided into be groups ran- domly. Experimental groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ fed with cholesterol - added forage for 4 and 8 weeks respectively before sacri- ficed. Images, functions and histopathological characteristics of Oddi's sphincters of experimental groups were studied and compared with control group by cholangiography, catheter manometry, and quantitative analysis of nitric oxide synthase. RESULTS: The hasal pressures of proximal low - pressure segment of Oddi's sphincter of hath experimen- tal groups Ⅰand Ⅱ (20.9?6.1 mmHg, 25 .6?9.1 mmHg, respectively) were higher than those of control group sig- nificantly (11 .7?2. 8 mmHg, P
