Objective: To explore the seasonal correlation of the incidence of bronchial foreign body.
Method: Conduct retrospective analysis on clinical data of 1819 cases with bronchial foreign bodies in our hospital within an eight-year period (from January 2005 to January 2012), with cases classified into 12 groups by admission time (calculated by the Gregorian calendar in months, from January to December) and 4 groups by the Gregorian calendar in seasons (spring from March to May, summer from June to August, autumn from September to November, and winter from December to February), and observe whether the number of inpatients indicates any monthly or seasonal correlation.
Results: The months of November and December indicated the highest number of inpatients, with 263 cases and 274 cases, which accounted for 12.
Objective: To observe the effects of phlegm-dispelling and blood stasis-resolving traditional Chinese drugs on the cell cycle of cardiac myocytes and left ventricular reconstruction in hypertensive rats.
Methods: Bilateral renal artery stenosis was conducted to induce hypertension in rats, which were randomly divided into hypertensive model group (n = 10), sham-operated group (n = 8), high-dose drug group (n = 11) and low-dose drug group (n = 11), with 8 normal untreated rats as the normal control group. The systolic blood pressure (SBP) was measured in the tail artery of the rats.
