Objective To summarize experience in treating patients with native value endocarditis ( NVE) , and discuss the effect of timing of surgery on the infection control , cardiac function recovery and long-term mortality among patients . Methods Eighty NVE cases with antibiotic treatment were recruited between January 2006 and May 2013 .According to the timing of surgery, the subjects were divided into the early surgery group (38 cases) and the late surgery group (42 ca-ses) .The infection-related markers and cardiac function indexes before and after surgery , and 1-year, 3-year and 5-year mortality after surgery were analyzed .Results The infection control and recovery of cardiac function in the early surgery group were better than in the late surgery group (P<0.05).The difference in 3-year and 5-year mortalities between the two groups was significant .Conclusions For NVE patients with routine antibiotics treatment , the surgical effect and long-term survival rate are much better in the early surgery group than in the late surgery group .

Objective To evaluate the value of technetium-99m methoxy isobutyl isonitrile(99Tcm-MIBI) tomography and integrated CT scan in preoperative localization diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Methods 31 patients with PHPT were selected .15 minutes and 90 minutes ( delayed images ) after intravenous administration of 99 Tcm-MIBI 370 MBq, static anterior planar images of the neck and chest were obtained .99 Tcm-MIBI tomography and integrated CT scan were acquired after the delayed images .All patients received neck ultra-sound scan before surgery .The imaging findings were compared to the pathological results .Results The detec-tion rate of hyperparathyroidism lesions of 99 Tcm-MIBI dual-phase imaging and 99 Tcm-MIBI tomography and regis-tration with integrated CT scan was 87.1%and 93.5%respectively, without statistical significance (P>0.05). However , they were both higher than ultrasound scan which had a detection rate of 64.5%.The differences had statistical significance (χ2 =4.039 and 7.884 respectively , P<0.05 ) .The detection rate of parathyroid hyper-plasia of 99 Tcm-MIBI tomography and registration with integrated CT was both 80.0%, higher than that of the ul-trasound test(40.0%)and 99Tcm-MIBI dual-phase imaging(40.0%).The fusion imaging with integrated CT scan provided detailed anatomy data and more information for surgical doctors .Conclusions 99 Tcm-MIBI tomography and registration with integrated CT scan can improve the detection rate of PHPT compared with 99 Tcm-MIBI dual-phase imaging , provide detailed anatomy data , and has high clinical value in preoperative localization diagnosis of PHPT.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the relationship between the net photosynthetic rate and the quality of Siraitia grosvenorii.
METHODTaken two species of S. grosvenorii: Yongqing No. 1 and Yehong No. 1 as the experimental material, CI-310 portable photosynthesis system was used to test the net photosynthetic rate in the late growth period; HPLC was used to determine momordica-glycosides V.
RESULTLight compensation point of Yongqing No. 1 was lower than that of Yehong No. 1 and the light saturation point was identical, the weight of dried fruit and the content of momordica-glycosides V of Yongqing No. 1 were higher than those of Yehong No. 1 at the late growth period.
CONCLUSIONThe net photosynthetic rate can be used as an important subservient index to assess the quality of S. grosvenorii.

Objective Using middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model to observe protective effect of effective components of bezoar on brain damage.To discuss the anti-cerebral ischemia mechanism and compare the efficacy of effective components of bezoar from the endoplasmic reticulum stress intervention angle.Methods Rats were stratified randomly divided into sham group,model group,Qingkailing group (positive drug,3 mL/kg),taurine group,ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA,78 mg/kg) group,taurine-conjugated ursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA,100 mg/kg) group.Through establish MCAO model in rats,observed the scores of the neurologic impairment,measured infarct volume by TTC.Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting were Used to detect the content of P-PERK,P-EIF2α,and ATF4.Results Compared with sham group,neurologic impairment scores of model group significantly reduced (P < 0.01).Compared with model group,Qingkailing group,UDCA group,and TUDCA group significantly improved neurological function in rats (P < 0.05,0.01).Compared model group,all the treatment groups could significantly reduce the volume of cerebral infarction (P < 0.01).Compared with sham group,expression of P-PERK,P-EIF2α,and ATF4 was significantly increased (P < 0.01).Compared with model group,all the treatment groups reduced the expression of P-PERK,P-EIF2α,and ATF4 in varying degrees,effect of Qingkailing and TUDCA were more obvious.Conclusion The effective components ofbezoar alleviate cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury in rats by inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress,the effect of TUDCA is better than that of taurine and UDCA.

Objective:
To investigate the relationship between V-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homologue B1 (BRAF)V600E mutation and metastasis after thyroidectomy in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) with different recurrence risk stratification.
Methods:
From March 2014 to September 2017, 134 PTC patients (45 males, 89 females; age: 16-72 years) who underwent 131I treatment in the Department of Nuclear Medicine of Liaocheng People′s Hospital and had undergone BRAFV600E mutation detection were retrospectively analyzed. The recurrence risk during surgery was divided into 3 levels: low-, medium- and high-risk. Each recurrence risk group was divided into 3 subgroups according to the postoperative follow-up results: non-metastasis group, cervical lymph node metastasis group and pulmonary metastasis group. BRAFV600E mutation rates in different groups were compared (
