Objective To explore the morbidity, diagnosis, treatment and prognostic influencing factor of 25 cases of male breast cancer. Methods The clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of 25 patients with male breast cancer were retrospectively analyzed. Results The morbidity of patients with male cancer was rela-tively low(1.1%), but they have older year(an average of 56 years), and longer course (an average of 39 months). The major pathological type was infiltrative cancer. The modified or traditional radical mastectomy combined with ra-diotherapy and chemotherapy and endocrine therapy were often applied. Conclusion Male breast cancer had lower morbidity, longer course and poorer prognosis.

Objective To evaluate the outcome of percutaneous intervention for the diseased bypass grafts in patients with previous coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG).Methods Sixty-six patients with diseased grafts after CABG underwent percutaneous intervention between July 2003 and July 2004.Angiographic follow up was suggested to all patients and major adverse cardiac events(MACE,including death,acute myocardial infarction and target lesion revascularization)were recorded within 6 months of follow up.Results Sixty-six patients with 74 diseased grafts(83 lesions) underwent percutaneous intervention.The angiographic success rate was 96.97%((64/66)) and the procedural success rate was 95.45%(63/66).No reflow phenomenon occurred in 2 cases,1 case restored TIMI 3 flow after administering verpamil but the other patient failed to restore the blood flow. Distal embolization occurred in 1 case.Abrupt closure in 1 case because of Dtype dissection not treated during the procedure but TIMI 3 flow was obtained after repairment with another stent.No MACE(death,acute myocardial infarction and acute emergency revascularization) occurred during hospitalization and the incidence of MACE was 31.3%(20/64) at 6 months follow up.In-segment restenosis rate was 32.5%(13/40) in 37 patients with angiographic follow-up.Conclusion Percutaneous intervention for diseased bypass grafts is feasible,safe and effective.

CB-HRP was injected into the ovary of the domestic hens of 75-90 days old to trace the originating neurons of the vagus nerve innervated the ovary. The results were as the following:1. The afferent vagus neurons innervated the ovary were located in the nodose ganglia and the jugular ganglia. The afferent fibers in the ovarian medulla were found chiefly in the solitary tract, the nucleus of the solitary tract and the commissural nucleus of Cajal also.2. The efferent vagus neurons were located mainly in the subnueleus ventralis parvicellularis (VP)and the subnueleus ventrolateralis (VL)of the dorsal vagal motor nucleus, and a small number of neurons extended from the subnueleus VP and VL to the neighbouring five subnuclei.

Objective To study the levels of IL 6 production in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in 25 patients with inactive and active (include mild、 moderate and severe) ulcerative colitis(UC) and age, sex matched 20 healthy subjects.Methods Peripheral blood monocytes (PBMC) were stimulated with PHA for 48 hours to induce IL 6 production. IL 6 content in the culture medium was assayed by using B9 cells. Results IL 6 production was significantly increased in PBMC from active UC. There was an increasing tendency with severity of disease. But no significant difference was found between the extent of the lesious. Conclusions The levels of IL 6 production in PBMC can be an indicator of the activity of UC.

Pain has been defined as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience that is associated with actual or potential tissue damage,or is described in terms of such damage.Pain individual difference increases the complexity of clinical diagnosis and treatment of pain.China started relatively late on pain research and standardized pain treatment.It is necessary for further research on pain related to the clinical problem,the development of pain translational medicine,and improvement of clinical quality.The paper carries on the review.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia,but its pathogenesis is still unclear.With the development of sleep medicine,obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is found to associate with the occurrence of AF and recurrence after catheter ablation.This article reviews the pathophysiology of OSA,and relationship between OSA and the occurrence of AF,and its mechanism.It indicates that clinicians should pay close attention to the existence of OSA during diagnosis and treatment of AF.

BACKGROUND:Drug eluting stents(DESs)has been applied in treatment of saphenous vein grafts,but few reports are present.OBJECTIVE:To retrospectively compare the late loss and major adverse cardiac events(MACE)between DES and bare mental stents(BMS)in patients with diseased saphenous vein grafts.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:The experiment,a grouping control study and follow-up observation,was performed from January 2002 to February 2007 in Beijing Luhe Hospitat and Beijing Anzhen Hospital.PARTICIPANTS:Ninety-seven consecutive patients with saphenous vein graft lesions were treated with DESs (DESgroup.n=50)or BMSs(BMS group,n=47).METHODS:All patients underwent percutaneous coronary implantation and received clinical follow-ups immediately.They were scheduled to undergo 12-month coronary angiography.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:The cardiac events including death,myocardial infarction,target lesion and/or target vessel revascularization.Late lumen loss was recorded and compared between the two groups.RESULTS:There were no significant differences on the gender,age,history of bridge vessels and complication between the two groups(P>0.05).A total of 97 patients with 118 lesions localized in 105 diseased saphenous vein grafts were included:50 patients received 71 DESs for 59 lesions,whereas 47 patients received 62 BMSs for 59 lesions.Procedural success was achieved in 94.0%of patients in the DES group and 93.6%in BMS group(P=0.43).At 12 months,the cumulative incidence of MACE was significantly lower in DES group than in BMS group(1 2.0%vs.29.8%.P=0.03).Angiographic follow-up was available for 54 patients,26 patients in DES group and 28 in BMS group.Late lumen loss was significantly reduced in DES group[(0.32±0.65)mm vs.(0.79±1.23)mm,P=0.01].The DES group had a significantly lower incidence of target lesion revascularization compared with BMS group(6.0%vs.19.1%.P=0.05).By Cox regression analysis,independent predictors for MACE at 12-month follow-ups were diabetes (OR:2.37;CI:0.95 to 5.88;P=0.064),BMS(OR:2.86;CI:0.98 to 8.34;P=0.05),and stent per lesion(OR:2.92;CI:1.25 to 6.82;P=0.01).CONCLUSION:DES is superior to BMS in diseased saphenous vein grafts,and it can significantly reduce late lumen loss and MACE.

Objective To investigate the influence of Angiopoietin-1(Ang1)gene modified mesenchymal stem cells on the expression of adhension factors from endothelial cells,to clarify the feasibility of modulating inflammation reaction by gene modification after stem cells transplantation.Methods Genetic engineering rMSCs were constructed by lentivirally-tranduced Ang1 gene,the expressions of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 at different time points after 20 ?g/L VEGF stimulating were investigated,the supernatants of gene modified rMSC were collected and then added into HUVEC culture with different concentrations of Ang1,the expressions of adhension factors after VEGF stimulated were observed at the same time.Results Genetic engineering rMSCs were successfully constructed,the expressions of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 mRNA were significantly increased after VEGF stimulated,the maximal value was at 8 h,the ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 mRNA expressions were decreased after incubation with Ang1 at different concentrations,Ang1 suppressed the VEGF-stimulated protein levels of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1.Conclusion The supernatants of Ang1 gene modified stem cells can suppresse VEGF-stimulated inflammation reaction of HUVEC.

Methods:The volatile constituents from Folium isatidis were analyzed by head-space solid micro-extraction coupled with GC-MS for the first time. Results: Thirty-five compounds (89. 95%) were identified from the volatile constituents in Folium isatidis. The main volatile constituents of Folium isatidis were 6, 10, 14-trimethyl-2-pentadecanone (6. 32%), nonanal (5. 99%), phenethyl isothiocyanate (5. 79%) and palmitic acid (5. 62%). Conclusion:Palmitic acid and benzyl alcohol may be the main effective constituents in Folium isatidis.
