Objective: To explore the clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of papillary musclehypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Methods: Our research contained 2 groups: Papillary muscle hypertrophic cardiomyopathy group,n=21 patients treated in our hospital from 2013-01 to 2015-12 including 18 male and 3 female; Control group,n=50 subjects without cardiovascular disease those were conifrmed by our hospital at the same period of time. Clinical and MRI examinations were conducted in all patients, the ifndings were compared between 2 groups. Results: Compared with control subjects, papillary musclehypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients had the main symptoms of shortness of breath, chest tightness and pain; associated with systolic murmur; ECG could be normal or with T wave inversion; cardiac MRI showed that 1/2 papillary muscle diameter>1.1cm. Blood levels of triglyceride, left atrial diameter, inter-ventricular septum thickness, the values of E/A and EDT were statistically different between 2 groups, allP<0.05. Conclusion: Clinical features of papillary muscle hypertrophic cardiomyopathy were lack of speciifcity, the morbidity and clinical signiifcance should be further investigated.

It is considered that the central nervous system (CNS) is an immunologically privileged organ, but its immunological privilege is not complete, and immunological rejection may also occurred after tissue transplantation. Neural stem cell (NSC) transplantation has developed a brand-new approach for the treatment of various CNS diseases. Despite the low immunogenicity of NSC, there are also troubles of immunological rejection. This article reviews the immunological characteristics of CNS, the mechanisms of immunological response and immunological rejection in CNS, as well as the problems of immunological rejection of NSC transplantation.

AIM: To examine the effects of monocyte-endothelium interaction on the expression of CD36 in monocytes and observe the functions of cytokines in this process. METHODS: The monocytes and endothelial cells were cultured alone or cocultured together to form different cell culture conditions. The level of M-CSF in culture medium was determined by enzyme linked immune sandwich assay(ELISA) technique, and the expression of CD36 in monocytes was determined by flow cytometry. RESULTS: The expression of CD36 in monocytes was low in monocytes cultured alone but increased significantly when monocytes and endothelial cells were cocultured(P

Objective To understand the blood pressure variability (BPV) and the influencing factors through ambulatory blood pressure monitoring during hemodialysis (HD) in the end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients.Method Eighty-one ESRD patients on maintenancing HD for more than three months were enrolled into the study.The patients were with properly dry body weight.The blood pressure was monitored using dynamic blood pressure monitor around the HD.BPV was estimated with the coefficient of variation (CV) and standard deviation (SD) of the systolic blood pressure (SBP-CV,SBP-SD).Patients were divided into two groups according to the mean of SBP-CV:high SBPV group and low SBPV group.The possible influencing factors such as age,dialysis duration,ultrafitration volume,ultrafiltration/body weight,therapy of antihypertensive,electrolyte,nutrition state,metabolic bone disease indexes,inflammatory state and serum lipid state were analyzed and compared between the two groups.And multivariate stepwise regression analysis was made between the SBP-CV,SBP-SD and the above observational parameters.Results The average SBP-CV of the 81 patients was (8.12± 3.16)％,SBP-SD was (11.22±4.55) mm Hg.The proportion of hypertention and hypotention in high SBPV(SBP-CV≥8.12％) group (20.0％,25.7％) was higher than that in the low SBPV(SBP-CV ＜8.12％) group (8.7％,6.5％)(P =0.009).Serum high-sensitivity c-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were higher in high SBPV group than that in the low SBPV group[(7.19± 5.95) mg/L vs (3.35±2.78) mg/L,P =0.001 and (180.31±96.32) U/L vs (98.00±41.19) U/L,P =0.049].Serum creatinine and potassium were higher in the low SBPV group than that in the high SBPV group [(1015.83±276.20) μmol/L vs (893.63±216.61) μmol/L,P =0.034 and (5.27±0.78) mmol/L vs (4.80± 0.23) mmol/L,P =0.005].SBP-SD was positively correlated with hs-CRP (β =0.499,P ＜ 0.01),SBP-CV was positively correlated with hs-CRP and dialysis vintage (β =0.464 and 0.211,P ＜ 0.01 and P ＜ 0.05) by the multivariate stepwise regression analysis.Conclusions The SBP-CV during HD is 8.12％ in ESRD patients.Hypertention and hypotention are more often in the higher SBPV patients.SBPV is closely related to the serum hs-CRP.

Objective To establish a dual liver transplantation rat model,which could benefit the future clinical practice.Methods Y type vein derived from the crossover segment of vena cava and two iliac veins in donor and Y type bile duct prosthesis were employed to recanalize portal vein and bile duct from dual liver grafts to recipient liver.The dual right upper lobes with about 45％ ～ 50％ of the recipient liver volume were taken as donor.One was orthotopically implanted at its original position,while the other was rotated 180° sagittally and heterotopically positioned in the left upper quadrant.Survival rate was analyzed to evaluate the function of dual liver grafts.Results A total of 7 rats which underwent dual liver transplantation survived more than 7 days and the survival rate was 58.3％.5 rats died due to abdominal hemorrhage,bile leakage and liver abscess.Conclusion Using Y type vein and bile duct prosthesis,we successfully established a novel rat model of dual right upper liver lobe transplantation.

Objective To establish the multiple quantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR)assay and evaluate its clinical application in prenatal diagnosis.Methods Totally 170 samples Were collected between May 2008 and July 2009 in prenatal center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital:123 of them were amniotic fluid,9 were chofionic villous samples,20 were fetal blood and 18 were villi from aborted fetuses.All samples were from women of Han nationality,with mean age of (34.1±4.6) years old,and with mean gestational age of(19.6±1.0)weeks.Cytogenetic cultures and karyotyping were made to every sample.Genomic DNA wag extracted from the samples.The sequences of twenty short tandem repeat (STR) markers were designed according to the GenBank and references,including 6 STR markers in chromosome 21.4 in chromosome 18.4 in chromosome 13,4 in chromosome X,1 in chromosome Y and 1 universal marker in both X and Y chromosome.Each sample was amplified by two sets of multiple QF-PCR,which included 4 STR markers in each of 21,18,13 and sex chromosomes. If the result was uninformative,the third set of anotherd 4 STR markers was added. Results ( 1 ) Karyotyping. Cytogenetic analysis were made for all the 170 samples, 151 (89%) of which were normal, and 19 (11% ) were abnormal (2)QF-PCR assay. 167(98% ) samples were detected by QF-PCR. The results were obtained within 2 -3 days after sampling. 134 samples were proved normal by QF-PCR, which was consistent with karyotyping. Among the 19 abnormal karyotype samples, 18 were detected as abnormal( eight were 21-trisomy, three were 18-trisomy)by QF-PCR. Among the 167 samples, 150(90% ) were detected using the first and second set of STR mixtures, and 3(2% ) were detected when the third set of STR was added. The remain 14(8% ) were uninformative. (3) The diagnostic efficiency of QF-PCR. The sensitivity of QF-PCR in prenatal diagnosis of common aneuploidities was 95%, the specificity, the false positive rate, the false negative rate, the positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 100% ,0,5%, 100% and 99% , respectively. (4)Autusome and sex chromosome detection by QF-PCR. Among all the STR markers,D21S1270 and D21S1411 had the highest heterozygosifies in chromosome 21, and DXS8377 had the highest in sex chromosome. The amplifications were stable. Conclusion Multiple QF-PCR assay is a valid alternative in rapid prenatal diagnosis of common chromosome aneuploidies. With high accuracy, it can be used for numerous sample test in large-scale laboratories.
