Objective To investigate the levels of serum chemerin in the acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients and explore the clinical significance.Methods A total of 76 AMI patients from January 2013 to December 2013 were inrolled and 30 healthy patients were included as normal control(NC) group.Chemerin, tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α), adiponectin were asessed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELlSA).The clinical data of high sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP), body mass index (BMI), blood lipids, underlying diseases et al were collected.Results Serum levels of chemerin in AMI patients was higher than the NC group significantly((12.97±4.17) μg/L vs.(30.96± 17.16) μg/L, t =5.642, P<0.001).The Serum levels of Chemerin in single vessel disease group, two vessel disease group and triple vessel disease group were (22.25 ± ±6.93) μg/L, (28.57 ± 15.92) μg/L, (37.95 ± 16.52) μg/L respectively and was linearly increasing relationship with increasing AMI severity (P<0.001, F =22.84, r2 =0.397).Serum levels of Chemerin positively correlated with TNF-α, hs-CRP level(r2=0.347,0.455 ,P<0.001) and negative correlated with adiponectin(r2 =0.396,P<0.001).Logistic regression analysis showed that chemerin was an independent risk factor for AMI (OR =4.822,95% CI 4.422-7.141, P =0.032).Conclusion The results showed that serum chemerin levels were significantly elevated in AMI patients,and chemerin may be involved in the development process of AMI.

Objective To investigate the key nursing points during and after phacoemulsification and intraocular implantation of multiple focus lens.Method Pre-and post-operative nursing was done to the patients undergoing cataract surgery for 42 eyes of 42 patients.Result All surgeries were well done without complication.The patients’visual acuity had significant improvement after operation as compared to the pre-operation(P<0.05).Conclusions Intraocular implantation with a multiple focus lens can markedly improve the patients’vision and enhance their life quality.It is important for a nurse to conduct mental care,health education and complete preoperative examination. After surgery,the disease conditions should be carefully monitored and instructs on eye protection should be done to the patients for the purpose of promoting their recovery.

AIM: To investigate the pharmacological effects of recombined basic fibroblast growth factor (rbFGF) on retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) of rats. METHODS: Using calibrated cross-action forceps a moderate crush injury was inflicted on the nerve. After crush injury, rbFGF, saline and VB 12 were administered by retrobublar injection. Four weeks after injury , the apoptosis of RGCs was measured with flow cytometer. RESULTS: Four weeks after operation, it was shown that the rbFGF, but not saline or VB 12 injection could significantly improve the maintainance of RGCs of rats. After 800 U, 1600 U and 2400 U rbFGF injection, the injured RGCs were rescued by 24.5%, 27.3% and 28.5% respectively. Furthermore, it was also found that rbFGF injection could effectively prevent the axons from injury. The flow cytometer showed that the rate of apoptosis was reduced markedly on 7 days at rbFGF group. CONCLUSION: rbFGF can significantly promote the functional repair of injured optic nerve. [

Objective To evaluate the value of ADC and FA of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in differentiating clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of kidney pelvis.Methods Thirty-eight histopathology proven ccRCC and TCC patients (29 cases of ccRCC and 9 cases of TCC) were retrospectively enrolled.All the patients were performed abdominal MR fat saturation T1WI,fat saturation T2WI,LAVA and DTI (b=0,600 s/mm2).MR images were reviewed and analyzed by two radiologists in a double-blind manner with the value of ADC and FA measured using the Functool on AW 4.4 workstation.The data of two observers were analyzed with intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC) to assess inter-observer consistency.The differences of ADC values and FA values between ccRCC and TCC were compared by independent t-test.The ROC curves were used to analyze and compare the diagnostic value of DTI in differentiating ccRCC and TCC.Results The inter-observer agreements were good (ICC>0.75).The ADC value of ccRCC was statistically higher than that of TCC ([2.03 ± 0.49] × 10-3 mm2/s vs [1.57 ± 0.43] × 10-3 mm2/s,P =0.015).But the FA value of ccRCC was statistically lower than that of TCC ([0.24±0.10] vs [0.42±0.22],P=0.002).The area under the ROC curve of ADC was 0.761 (P<0.05),and the sensitivity and specificity were 79.3% and 77.8%.The ADC threshold for differentiating ccRCC from TCC was 1.59× 10-3 mm2/s.The area under the ROC of FA was 0.762 (P< 0.05),and the sensitivity and specificity were 66.7 % and 93.1%.The FA threshold for differentiating ccRCC from TCC was 0.326.Conclusion MR DTI can effectively discriminate ccRCC and TCC.FA values has good diagnostic specificity in differentiating between ccRCC and TCC.

Objective To assess the utility of single source-dual energy CT for distinguishing bladder cancer from hematoma. Methods We retrospectively identified 14 patients with postoperative or follow-up bladder hematoma who had undergone dual energy protocol (40-140 keV)scanning by single source-dual energy CT.The subjective scoring of tumor detection and image quality,the optimal monochrome images and iodine-water images were evaluated by two radiologists who didn’t know the results.The consistency of two observers was analyzed by Kappa test.Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the difference between the two kinds of diseases and ROC curve was used to analyze the diagnostic efficiency.The statistical differences of image quality scoring among different images were obtained by using Mann-Whitney U test.Results The consistency of the two observers about scoring of lesion detection was good for all groups.There were statistical differences between two groups in non-enhanced phase and arterial phase of mixed-energy images,non-enhanced phase,arterial phase and delayed phase of optimal monochromatic images,and all phase of iodine-water images. The AUC of iodine-water images in the four phases (0.985,1.000,0.955,0.924,respectively)were all higher than that of polychrome unenhanced and arterial phase images (0.909,0.909).The diagnostic efficiency of arterial phase on iodine-water images was the highest.Sensitivity and specificity were both 100% when score was greater than 2.5.There was no statistical difference between two kinds of diseases on non-enhanced phase,delayed phases of mixed-energy or monochromatic images(P >0.05).There were no statistical differences in image quality scoring among the three groups with the same phases (P>0.05).Conclusion Optimal monochromatic images and iodine-water images of single source-dual energy CT are more effective than conventional CT in distinguishing bladder cancer from hematoma.

Objective Following up with otoscopy after the middle ear surgery in order to understand the prognosis and recurrence of the surgical cavity. Methods Four hundred and eighty-three ears after middle ear surgery were followed up with otoscopy to understand the situation of its dry ear, surgical cavity lesions as well as whether there was recurrence. Among 483 ears with middle ear surgery, 172 ears were performed with tympanoplasty, 211 ears with tympanoplasty plus modified mastoidectomy, 26 ears with up wall mastoidectomy plus tympanoplasty, 15 ears with radical mastoidectomy, 59 ears with mastoid surgical cavity repair. Results By otoscopy 12 ears were found with secondary tympanic membrane perforation, 9 ears with tympanic membrane perforation without healing, 36 ears with granulation in tympanic membrane or mastoid, 23 ears with recurrent cholesteatoma, 11 ears with middle ear effusion, 5 ears with canal stenosis, 16 ears with fungus infections in surgical cavity, 2 ears with prolapse of artificial auditory ossicles, 3 ears with necrosis of mastoid cavity flap. The time of dry ear after the surgery in open mastoidectomy was (2.1 ± 0.4) months. Conclusion Following up regularly with otoscopy after middle ear surgery is benefit to the clearance of residual disease, preventing recurrence and promoting early dry ear.
