Pharmacological Research Progress of Novel Antihypertensive Drugs.

Cardiovascular disease stands as the leading cause of death globally, with hypertension emerging as an independent risk factor for its development. The worldwide prevalence of hypertension hovers around 30%, encompassing a staggering 1.2 billion patients, and continues to escalate annually.

Resistant mechanisms and molecular epidemiology of imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii.

The aim of the study was to investigate the resistant mechanisms and homology of imipenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii). A total of 46 non-duplicate imipenem‑resistant A.

[The ultrastructural features of sputum deposition and its value in the diagnosis of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis].

Objective: To investigate the ultrastructural features of sputum deposition (SD) and its value in the diagnosis of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP).

Methods: Seven patients with PAP diagnosed by lung biopsy and cytology were enrolled in this study. The patients consisted of 5 men and 2 women, whose median age was 48 years (range 36 to 73).

Case of interstitial lung disease possibly induced by exposure to iron dust.

Interstitial lung diseases are primarily attributable to occupational or environmental exposures to dusts and irritants. We report on a case of interstitial lung disease, possibly secondary to iron exposure. Our male patient presented with cough and shortness of breath of more than 20 years' duration after his occupational exposure had ended.

[The clinical diagnosis and analysis of pulmonary mucosa associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma].

Objective: To improve the diagnosis of pulmonary mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (PMALT) lymphoma.

Method: The clinical and radiographic data of 13 cases of pathology confirmed PMALT lymphoma admitted from June 1998 to June 2006 were respectively analyzed.

Results: There were 9 males and 4 females, with an average age of 55 years.
