Unloading and successful treatment with bioresorbable stents during percutaneous coronary intervention: A case report.

Background: With the development of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the number of interventional procedures without implantation, such as bioresorbable stents (BRS) and drug-coated balloons, has increased annually. Metal drug-eluting stent unloading is one of the most common clinical complications. Comparatively, BRS detachment is more concealed and harmful, but has yet to be reported in clinical research.

[Expert consensus statement on Danshen Chuanxiongqin Injection in clinical practice].

Danshen Chuanxiongqin Injection is a commonly used medicine in cerebral infarction and coronary heart disease,which is recommended by many disease guidelines/consensus for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. However,there are irrational drug using in clinic,which affects the efficacy and brings safety risks. Based on clinical research evidence and expert experience,recommendations/consensus suggestion are determined through the nominal group method.

miR-24-3p Suppresses Malignant Behavior of Lacrimal Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma by Targeting PRKCH to Regulate p53/p21 Pathway.

MicroRNA (miRNA) may function as an oncogene or a tumor suppressor in tumorigenesis. However, the mechanism of miRNAs in adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is unclear. Here, we provide evidence that miR-24-3p was downreglated and functions as a tumor suppressor in human lacrimal adenoid cystic carcinoma by suppressing proliferation and migration/invasion while promoting apoptosis.

Effects of yiqi huoxue recipe and Coxsackie virus B type 3 on the expression of ribosomal protein S20 in rat cardiac myocytes.

Objective: To study the effects of yiqi huoxue recipe and Coxsackie B virus type 3 (CVB3) on the expression of ribosomal protein S20 in rat cardiac myocytes, to explore the pathogenesis of myocarditis induced by CVB3 and the mechanism of yiqi huoxue recipe on gene level, and to further investigate whether yiqi huoxue recipe is an effective prescription for CVB3 myocarditis.

Methods: A modified suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) was used to isolate differentially expressed genes between the CVB3 infection group and the treatment group with yiqi huoxue recipe. The results were further verified by fluorescence RT-PCR.

[Effects of Chinese herbal compound for supplementing qi and activating blood circulation on actin, Cx43 expressions and gap junctional intercellular communication functions of myocardial cells in patients with Coxsackie virus B 3 viral myocarditis].

Objective: To observe the effect of Chinese herbal compound for supplementing qi and activating blood circulation (CHC) on the gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) function of myocardial cells in patients with Coxsackie virus B 3 (CVB3) viral myocarditis.

Methods: Expressions of actin and connexin43 (Cx43) in myocardial cells of patients arranged in three groups (the normal control group, the viral infected group and the CHC treated group) were detected by immunohistochemical method; the fluorescence photobleaching recovery rate of cells was detected by laser scanning confocal microscope.

Results: As compared with the viral infected group, the expressions of actin and Cx43 were increased and the GJIC function was improved in the CHC treated group.

[A comparative study on the ethics of Western and traditional Chinese medicine].

The ethics of Western medicine and that of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) developed separately in their own ways. The formation and development of ancient medical ethics of China were extensively and deeply influenced by Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and other religious thought, while the ancient ethic basis of western society was influenced by traditional Judaism, Christianism, Catholicism and other natural philosophical thinking of ancient Greece and Rome. With the progress of medical and life sciences, the medical ethics begins to transfer into the life ethics, thus giving rise to new questions in the ethics of Western medicine and TCM.
