Issue:

Vol 66, Issue 6: 2017

DOI:

Pages:

709–714

Synopsis:

This paper focussed on the detection of TCR Vα and TCR Vβ skewness of patients with Type 1 diabetes. In the results, we found that there were skewed genes in the TCR Vα and TCR Vβ. In our opinion, these skewed genes are probably relative to the onset of Type 1 diabetes.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To detect the skewness of T cell receptor (TCR) Vα and TCR Vβ of patients with Type 1 diabetes.

The Characteristics of QT Interval Dispersion in Obesity-related Hypertensive Patients

Issue:

Vol 65, Issue 4: 2016 – Health Science

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2016.261

Pages:

633-6

Synopsis:

This study found that high cholesterol and high blood pressure of long standing caused blood lipid metabolic disorders, may lead to blood flow dynamics affected by different degree, and make the degree of myocardial cells after very uneven.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To find the characteristics of QT interval dispersion (QTd) in obesity-related hypertensive patients.

Methods: The study comprised 73 obesity-related hypertensive patients (group A), 58 nonobesity-related hypertensive patients (group B) and 105 healthy persons as control (group C). The maximum QT interval (QTmax), minimum QT interval (QTmin) and QTd were compared.

Inhibitory Effects of Paclitaxel Hirudin Complexes on the Growth and Proliferation of Human Coronary Artery Smooth Muscle Cells and Endothelial Cells in Vitro: An Exploration of a New Type of Complex Monomer for Stents Eluting Natural Herbs

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2016.297

Synopsis:

This study investigated the effects of paclitaxel hirudin complexes on the growth of human coronary artery smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells in vitro, which has not been systemically reported.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To prove the effectiveness and feasibility of a paclitaxel hirudin complex and to provide experimental data on the prevention of restenosis, we investigated the effects of paclitaxel hirudin complexes on the growth of human coronary artery smooth muscle cells (HCASMCs) and endothelial cells (HCAECs) in vitro.

Laparoscopic Pancreaticoduodenectomy - Experiences of 40 Cases

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2016.119

Synopsis:

Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) was still one of the most challenging endoscopic surgeries by far and there were still some technical problems to be resolved. In this study, we try to investigate the difficulties and countermeasures of the LPD using a retrospective analysis for the surgical techniques of the LPD carried out for 40 patients in our hospital from December 2009 to Jul 2015 and the clinical data such as operative time, intra-operative blood loss, numbers of scavenged lymph node and postoperative complications were collected. The result showed that application of appropriate surgical approach, improvement of the resection of UP and modification of the pancreaticojejunostomy(PJ) could make the LPD easier and safer.

ABSTRACT

Background: Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) was still one of the most challenging endoscopic surgeries by far and there were still some technical problems to be resolved. In this study, we try to investigate the difficulties and countermeasures of the LPD.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to observe the clinical efficacy of low-dose rituximab patients with cryoglobulinaemia secondary to connective tissue diseases.

Methods: Rituximab (100 mg) was infused in patients once a week for four weeks, combined with prednisone (20 mg) once a day and reduced regularly. The treatment effect was observed regularly.
