Guanxin Danshen Dripping Pills Improve Quality of Life and Cardiovascular Prognoses of CHD Patients after PCI with Anxiety or Depression (GLAD Study): A Randomized Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Study.

Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of Guanxin Danshen Dripping Pills (GXDS) in the treatment of depression or anxiety in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methods: From September 2017 to June 2019, 200 CHD patients after PCI with depression and anxiety were included and randomly divided into GXDS (100 cases) and placebo control groups (100 cases) by block randomization and a random number table. Patients in the GXDS and control groups were given GXDS and placebo, respectively, 0.

Critical selection of internal control genes for quantitative real-time RT-PCR studies in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated human THP-1 and K562 cells.

The choice of internal control genes is important since it may affect the study outcome in RT-qPCR. Indeed, it is well-known that expression levels of traditional internal control genes can vary across tissue types and across experimental settings within one specific tissue type. The aim of this study is an evaluation of a set of housekeeping genes (HKGs) to be used in the normalization of gene expression in vitro different cultured cells, THP-1 and K562.

[Repetition of teaching contents between genetics and relative courses in agricultural and forestry colleges and approaches to solving the problem].

Genetics is one of the main courses in agricultural and forestry colleges. However, there is large repetition of teaching contents and joining problems between genetics and the relative courses. The negative effects of above problems are discussed in this paper.

[Inhibitory effect of N-acetylcysteine upon atherosclerotic processes in rabbit carotid].

Objective: To discuss the effect of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) upon matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) in the atherosclerotic processes in rabbit carotid.

Methods: The atherosclerotic models were generated in vitro by injuring rabbit internal carotid with arterial canal balloon. These rabbits were divided into 3 groups (15 mg/kg NAC, 30 mg/kg NAC and control group) and treated for 8 weeks.

[Effects of probucol, aspirin and atorvastatin combination therapy upon atherosclerosis].

Objective: To investigate the effects of probucol, aspirin and atorvastatin (PAS) combination therapy upon atherosclerosis.

Methods: A total of 436 patients with coronary artery disease were selected and randomly divided into control group (aspirin 100 mg, atorvastatin 10 mg daily) and PAS group (aspirin 100 mg, atorvastatin 10 mg and probucol 0.25 g daily).

[Epidemiologic study of admitted children with Kawasaki disease in Beijing from 1995 to 1999].

Objective: To evaluate the epidemiologic picture of Kawasaki disease (KD) in Beijing and its suburbs.

Methods: A questionnaire form and diagnostic guideline for KD were sent to all hospitals with pediatric inpatient beds throughout Beijing and its suburbs. Pediatricians were asked to review the medical records and report all patients with KD diagnosed during the 5-year period from January, 1995, to December, 1999.
