The left ventricular bands of isolated human heart were studied by microscopy, echocardi ography and gross anatomical method. The results indicate that the structures of the bands were those commonly observed in human heart. They could be classified into two types: myo-bands and tendinous bands. However, we could only differentiate the “bands whose” diameter was more than 1.5mm with Aloka-SSD720 echocardiograph (made in Japan). we suggest that the resolution of the instrument we used was too low, and this might be the main reason that the detection of left ventricular bands was much lower than the incidence, we classified these bands according to the adhering points and diameters of bands.In this paper, the forming factors of bands and their clinical significance are also discussed.

The effect of high dos; dexamethasone(5mg/kg wt, intravenous injection)to prevent and treat the secondary pathological damage of craniocerebral injury was studied in animal models of craniocerebral injury caused by high-velocity missiles in dogs.We observed ths physiological changes, analyzed the value of serum and. cerebrospinal fluid lactate dehydrogenase, estimated the permeability of blood brain barrier (BBB) and studied brain pathology by light and electron microscopy.The results suggest high dose dexamethasone can help to restore ths structure and function of BBB, protect brain cells as well as lessai the secondary pathological damage in tha respiratory and circulatory systems and reduce th production of lipoptrox-ides(LPO).

In order to provide an experimental evidence for clinical utility, we undertook a series of experimental studies of glucocorticosteroid to treat closed head injury and gun shot brain wound, For studies of closed injury in rats, there were four groups as follows: Group 1: methyl prednisone 30mg/kg (MPG); Group 2: dexamethasone 5 mg/kg (HDMG): Group 3: dexamethasone0.5mg/kg (LDMG); and Group 4: normal saline as a control group (CG) For study of gun shot wound of brain, The dogs were divided into three groups, Grup 1 (wound group, n=8); Group 2 (treated group, n=7) and group 3 (control group, n=7). After injury, the vital signs were observed, the water content of the brain and Even' s blue level were measured and the brain were examined under optical and electronic microscopy, All results proved that secondary traumatic edema in the animals used high dose glucocotricosteroid were much more slight

Vasovagal syncope (VVS) is the most common cause of transient loss of consciousness ( TLOC ),mainly with head-up tilt test (HUTT) for diagnosis and treatment evaluation.Beacause of potential risks in the process of HUTT,it is necessary to explore an early,accurate,safe,effective,inexpensive and convenient means of diagnosis and evaluation for VVS.The means of quantitative history are now in practice of clinical trials.The means commonly used are Calgary Presyncope Form (CPF)and three questionaires about point scores in the Calgary syncope symptom studies.Due to its stable,simple and easy to apply features,CPF has some advantages on assessing the effectiveness of different treatment methods for VVS.The three questionnaires have some application potential in diagnosis for VVS.

Objective: To study the urban and rural difference impacts of aging on health care expenditure. Methods: Using 2002-2011 panel data of 31 provinces throughout the country to build fixed effect models for the urban and rural areas and make comparative analysis. Results: For urban and rural areas, there are significant differences in the impact of aging on health care expenditure, the estimated coefficients are 0.13 and 0.48 respectively. Conclusion:Under the background of the aging process, it needs to strengthen the construction of rural medical insurance system in China, increase financial support and rural health resource allocation.

The changes of immunoreactive TRH (TRH-ir) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma before and after acute traumatic head injury were determined with radioimmunoassay (RIA) on a feline model of acute experimental head trauma. The results showed that the concentrations of TRH-ir in experimental animals pre- and 2, 4, and 6h post-injury were 119.48?51.77, 460.71 ?178.72, 377.27? 139.33, and 280.17?110.46pmol/L in CSF, and 122.58?28.87,1158.89?163.18, 909.69?160.55, and 545.38?132.80pmol/L in plasma, respectively, while those in control animals measured at the corresponding time were 112.22?53.42, 105.36?49.64, 100.63?52.89, and 104.52?52.42pmol/L in CSF, and 113.57 ?25.79, 107.32?26.60, 119.84?31.53, and 117.21?28.95pmol/L in plasma, respectively. The contents of TRH-ir in CSF and plasma in the experimental group after traumatic head injury were significantly higher than those, in the control group (P

The effects of high frequency jet ventilation(HFJV) on brain resuscitation had been investigated in 28 cats in which simple brain functional failure was produced by occlusion of both carotid and both vertebral arteries. The results suggested that HFJV could improve endurance of cats when subjected to brain ischemia, raise the survival rate of cats with reversible brain functional failure, and prolong the survival time of cats with permernent brain functional failure. The mechanisms of how HFJ would exert beneficial effect on brain resuscitation was discussed.

Objective To evaluate the association between genetic polymorphisms in promoter regions of matrix metalloprotein‐ase‐1 (MMP‐1)‐1607bp1G/2G ,matrix metalloproteinase‐7 (MM P‐7)‐181‐bpA /G and susceptibility of cervical cancer using Meta‐analysis .Methods Relevant studies that had relationships of the polymorphism in promoter regions of matrix metalloproteinase‐1 (MM P‐1)‐1607bp1G/2G ,matrix metalloproteinase‐7 (MMP‐7)‐181‐bpA /G and susceptibility of cervical cancer were collected as case‐control groups .RevMan5 .0 software was applied to analyze the odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals(CI) of the as‐sociation between polymorphisms and susceptibility of cervical cancer .Results Finally ,6 studies were selected ,containing 4 studies of MMP‐1 and 2 studies of MMP‐7 .For MMP‐1‐1607bp1G/2G ,OR was 0 .76 (95% CI = 0 .51 - 1 .13 ,P= 0 .17) under 1G/1G +1G/2G ∶ 2G/2G model ,OR was 0 .72 (95% CI = 0 .42 - 1 .23 ,P = 0 .42) under 1G/1G ∶ 2G/2G model ,OR was 0 .79(95% CI =0 .57 - 1 .09 ,P= 0 .15) under 1G ∶ 2G model ,it was concluded that there was no statistical significance between them .For MM P‐7‐181bpA /G ,OR was 0 .47 (95% CI = 0 .30 - 0 .74 ,P= 0 .001) under AA + AG ∶ GG model ,OR was 0 .43 (95% CI = 0 .26 - 0 .74 , P= 0 .002) under AA ∶ GG model ,OR was 0 .77(95% CI = 0 .62 - 0 .94 ,P= 0 .02) under A ∶ G model ,there were statistical signifi‐cance differences under all models .Conclusion Polymorphisms in promoter of MMP‐7‐118bpA/G are associated with the suscepti‐bility of cervical cancer and an allele is a protective factor .It is still not confirmed that significant association between the MM P‐1‐1607bp1G/2G and susceptibility to cervical cancer exists in current literature .

Objective To investigate the relationship between cytoreduction outcome and staging of ovarian cancer with preoperative blood cell count.Methods The data of 148 ovarian cancer patients from January 2007 to June 2012 were analyzed retrospectively.Clinicopathological and blood cell count data were collected,and benign ovarian tumor group (n =96) as controls.Results Compared to the control group,there were significant differences in the number of white blood cells,neutrophils,lymphocytes,monocytes,platelets,neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio,and platelets to lymphocyte ratio in patients with ovarian cancer (P ＜ 0.05).The same results were also observed in advanced groups and early groups.While between optimal cytoreduction and suboptimal cytoreduction,there were significant differences in platelets,monocytes,neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio,and platelets to lymphocyte ratio (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The cytoreduction outcome and pathological staging of ovarian cancer are closely related to the preoperative blood cell count.Blood cell count is important for the identification of benign and malignant ovarian tumors,cytoreduction outcome and the prediction of pathological staging,and may be of significance to the monitoring and prognosis of the disease.
