ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the diagnostic radiology equipment number,radiological staff structure,protection allocated at the medical institutes in Jiaxing city,with the purpose to provide basic data for the further optimization of resource allocation.Methods As required by the national radiation health monitoring program and using the stratified random sampling method,a total of 111 hospitals at grades Ⅲ,Ⅱ,Ⅰand other types were used to select 50％radiological institutions in Jiaxing.Unified questionnaires were used to investigate the basic situation in these hospitals,such as diagnostic radiology equipment,configurable protection equipment,radiation worker number and diagnostic frequency.Results The hospital number at grades Ⅲ,Ⅱ,Ⅰand other types accounted separately for 13.5％,21.6％,46.9％and 18.0％of the total.The equipment numbers for radiotherapy,nuclear medicine,interventional radiology and X-ray imaging at grade Ⅲ hospitals accounted for 100％,100％,57.9％and 38.0％,respectively,significantly higher than others.The numbers of conventional photofluorography and fluoroscopy equipment at grades Ⅰhospitals accounted for 34.2％and 50％,slightly higher than others ;CT and mammography devices were distributed at the grades ⅡandⅢhospitals.The frequencies at X-ray diagnosis,CT diagnosis and interventional therapy and diagnosis,radiotherapy,and nuclear medicine diagnosis and therapy were 178.9,157.5,3.1,1.5,2.2 and 0.1 per thousand person-year in Nanhu district,which were higher than in the other areas of Jiaxing city.Conclusions Grade Ⅲhospitals have more diagnostic radiology devices and radiation workers than in non-grade-Ⅲ hospitals.These hospitals were all equipped with adequate amount of protection equipment.The frequency of diagnostic radiology in Nanhu district hospital was significantly higher than that in other district hospitals.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of bisoprolol combined with rosuvastatin on endothelial function and inflammation in patients with coronary slow flow (CSF). Methods Ninety CSF patients treated from August 2014 to October 2015 were randomly divided into control group, statin group and combined group, thirty cases in each group. The control group was given conventional therapy (aspirin 100 mg/d and isosorbide mononitrate 60 mg/d), statin group was given rosuvastatin 10 mg/d on the basic of control group, while the combined group was given bisoprolol 5 mg/d on the basic therapy of statin group. The serum concentrations of nitric oxide (NO), endothelin-1(ET-1), high-sensitivity c-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were detected before treatment and 8 weeks after treatment. The improvement of patients with angina pectoris was evaluated. Results After eight-week treatment, the NO levels were significantly increased in combined group and statin group, while the ET-1, hs-CRP and IL-6 levels were significantly decreased than those before the treatment (P<0.05). At the same time, comparing with the statin group and control group, the NO level was increased in combined group (P<0.05), while the ET-1, hs-CRP, and IL-6 levels decreased significantly (P<0.05). There were significant differences in the effective rates between the combined group (90.0%) and the statin group (83.3%), which were higher than those in control group (56.7%). Conclusion Bisoprolol combined with rosuvastatin can improve the endothelial function and anti-inflammatory in the treatment of CSF.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To observe the correlated serum inflammatory factor and cytokine changes in patients with coronary stent implantation, and to explore the significance of these changes.METHODS: Chinese Journal Full-Text Database was retrieved with search terms of coronary artery disease, percutaneous coronary interventions, inflammation, intimal hyperplasia, apoptosis and platelet-derived growth factor from 1995 to 2008. The language was restrained Chinese. A total of 17 literatures were collected, which concerns the changes of correlated inflammatory factor and cytokine levels and its significance. The literatures were sorted according to research object, experimental grouping,sample collection, assay method, experimental result, as well as experimental conclusion. Simultaneously, the patients received coronary stent implantation was analyzed to explore the significance of inflammatory factor and cytokine changes.RESULTS: The dynamic changed serum inflammatory factor and cytokine in patients with coronary stent implantation may be associated with the following mechanisms:①Endothelial cells were easily damaged in the balloon dilatation or stent implantation,therefore, inflammatory mediators or inflammatory factors were exposed to blood circulation, which stimulating neutrophilic granulocytes and up-regulating leukocyte adhesion molecule CD11b expression. ②Many stimulus could arise nuclear factor induced inflammatory reaction, produce interleukin 6, and stimulate C-reactive protein generation. ③The level of angiotensin Ⅱ increased at several days following stent implantation, and heightened with time prolonged, the proliferation of angiotensin Ⅱ was regulated by platelet-derived growth factor. By increasing the expression of endothelin, the synthesis of endothelin was accelerated, the proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells was promoted, which ultimately resulted in atherogenesis, balloon damage also involved in this process, which may be one of the mechanisms of restenosis.CONCLUSION: The changes of correlated inflammatory factor and cytokine can be served as inflammatory reaction indexes;moreover, soluble CD40 ligand, C-reactive protein and matrix metalloproteinase 9 may be associated with in-stent restenosis.
ABSTRACT
AIM:To observe the effect of levcromakalim(Lev) on endthelin-1(ET-1) induced proliferation and the expression of protein kinase C(PKC) in cultured rat vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMCs).METHODS: VSMCs were isolated from rat aorta and were cultured with different concentrations of Lev in vitro after stimulated to proliferation by ET-1(10~(-8)(mol?L~(-1))).Vitality of VSMCs was detected by MTT;DNA replication was evaluated by 3H-TdR method.Flow cytometry was used to analyze cell cycle and apoptosis.The expression of PKC? protein and mRNA were determined by Western blot and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).RESULTS:Vitality of VSMCs and 3H-TdR intermingle rate were decreased(P
