中药副作用不容忽视

多年来，“中药副作用少”的说法，使人们对某些中草药的肾毒性缺少足够的认识和重视。20世纪90年代中期，比利时医生首先发现，相当数量的“肥妞”、“胖嫂”在无所禁忌地服用减肥中药后发生急性肾衰，由此提出了“中药肾病”的概念。近几年，因滥服中草药导致肾炎和急性肾功能衰竭的病人日趋增多。专家为此呼吁：必须提高人们对中草药肾毒性的认识。

谨防小儿脓疱疮诱发肾炎

脓疱疮俗称黄水疮,是一种常见的由化脓性球菌引起的急性炎症皮肤病,具有接触传染特征。脓疱疮90%以上见于儿童,以1-4岁为高发年龄,症见皮肤上发生小红疹子、水疱或脓汁沉于疱底、呈半月型积脓状的大疱、脓疱,疱易破溃,流黄水,结脓痂,患儿自觉瘙痒,一般无全身症状。由于接触传染     

Cell therapy in congestive heart failure

Congestive heart failure （CHF） has emerged as a major worldwide epidemic and its main causes seem to be the aging of the population and the survival of patients with post-myocardial infarction. Cardiomyocyte dropout （necrosis and apoptosis） plays a critical role in the progress of CHF; thus treatment of CHF by exogenous cell implantation will be a promising medical approach. In the acute phase of cardiac damage cardiac stem cells （CSCs） within the heart divide symmetrically and/or asymmetrically in response to the change of heart homeostasis, and at the same time homing of bone marrow stem cells （BMCs） to injured area is thought to occur, which not only reconstitutes CSC population to normal levels but also repairs the heart by differentiation into cardiac tissue. So far, basic studies by using potential sources such as BMCs and CSCs to treat animat CHF have shown improved ventricular remodelling and heart function. Recently, however, a few of randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials demonstrated mixed results in heart failure with BMC therapy during acute myocardial infarction.     

Effect of a distal protection device on epicardial blood flow and myocardial perfusion in primary percutaneous coronary intervention

Objective: The beneficial effect of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has been well established, but there is the problem of no-reflow phenomenon which is an adverse prognostic factor in primary PCI. In the present study the effect of a distal protection device (PercuSurge GuardWire; GW) on epicardial blood flow and myocardial perfusion was evaluated. Methods and Results: Patients with AMI were randomly divided into 2 groups, the GW and the control groups. The GW group included 52 patients with AMI who underwent primary PCI with GW protection and the control group included 60 patients who underwent primary PCI without GW protection. Epicardial blood flow in the infarct-related artery (IRA) and myocardial perfusion were evaluated according to the thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade and the myocardial blush grade (MBG). We found TIMI score of 3 was obtained significantly more frequently in the GW group (96%) than in the control group (80%). The MBG score of 3 was obtained also significantly greater in the GW group (65%) than in the control group (33%). Conclusion: Primary PCI with GW protection can significantly improve epicardial blood flow and myocardial perfusion.

西藏地区表现为Opalski综合征的急性缺血性脑卒中

目的 总结Opalski综合征的诊治经验,提升临床对该疾病的诊治效率。方法 详细分析1例高原地区发生的Opalski综合征的临床、检验和影像学资料,并结合文献检索总结33例特点。结果 33例患者中发病年龄在26～86岁之间,男性22人,占比66%,女性11人,占比33%.临床表现中为偏瘫100%、感觉障碍78%、眩晕66%、恶心呕吐45%,被发现的体征中Horner征48%、babinski(+)39%、眼震21%.影像学表现中延髓及高颈段梗死81%,小脑、枕叶梗死占27%,PICA或椎动脉闭塞或狭窄54%,椎动脉夹层12%.结论 Opalski综合征常表现为偏瘫、感觉障碍、眩晕、恶心呕吐等症状,体征中常见Horner征、眼震等,并非所有患者都存在babinski（+）,在临床工作中需注意相关临床特点,早期识别并给予血管再通治疗。     

脂蛋白相关磷脂酶A2、心脏型脂肪酸结合蛋白联合心电图在急性心肌梗死诊断中的应用价值

目的 探讨脂蛋白相关磷脂酶A2(Lp-PLA2)、心脏型脂肪酸结合蛋白（F-ABP）联合心电图在急性心肌梗死（AMI）诊断中的应用价值。方法 回顾性分析医院可疑AMI患者127例,根据冠脉检查结果和临床诊断标准分为AMI组（n=65）和非AMI组（n=62）。两组均接受血清TC、LDL-C、TG、NT-proBNP、Lp-PLA2、F-ABP水平检测及心电图、超声心动图检查。分析AMI组Lp-PLA2、F-ABP水平与血脂、心脏参数的相关性,评估不同指标对AMI的诊断效能。结果 126例疑似AMI患者心电图确诊AMI 58例,包括典型变化31例,非典型变化10例,ST段下移伴T波改变13例,ST段正常和T波改变4例。AMI组Lp-PLA2、F-ABP、TC、LDL-C、LVDD、NT-proBNP水平高于非AMI组（P<0.05）,LVEF水平低于非AMI组（P<0.05）。Lp-PLA2及F-ABP与TC、LDL-C、NT-proBNP、LVDD呈正相关（P<0.05）,与LVEF呈负相关（P<0.05）。以Lp-PLA2 197 ng/mL和F-ABP-0....
