Objective To identify the potential correlation of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25 (OH)D3]and C-reactive protein (CRP) with coronary artery disease.Methods We measured the serum 25 (OH)D3 and CRP levels in 416 suspected coronary heart disease patients who underwent coronary angiography.Gensini scores were used to assess the severity of coronary stenosis.Based on the results of coronary angiography,the 416 patients were divided into normal group (n =246),stable angina group (n =110),and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) group (n =60).Results The serum levels of 25 (OH) D3 in the normal group and stable angina group were significantly higher than that in the ACS gropu [(33.15 ± 20.95) nmol/L vs.(15.55 ±5.7) nmol/L,(28.93 ± 16.45) nmol/Lvs.(15.55 ± 5.7) nmol/L,bothP<0.001].TheCRPlevelin the normal group was significantly lower than those in the stable angina group and the ACS group [(4.33 ± 0.12) rng/Lvs.(5.68 ± 0.25) mg/L,(4.33 ± 0.12) mg/Lvs.(5.73 ± 0.31) mg/L,bothP<0.001].The serum 25 (OH)D3 was not correlated with CRP or Gensini score in the normal group.In the ACS group,the serum 25 (OH) D3 was negatively correlated with CRP level and Gensini score (r =-0.026,P =0.045 ; r =-0.256,P =0.048),while CRP level was positively correlated with Gensini score (r =0.459,P <0.001).Inthe stable angina group,the serum 25 (OH)D3 was also negatively correlated with CRP level and Gensini score (r =-0.211,P =0.027; r =-0.208,P =0.029),and the latter two were positively correlated (r =0.574,P < 0.001).Conclusions Low serum 25 (OH) D3 levels are associated with coronary artery stenosis.Combining with CRP,it may be involved in the pathogenesis of coronary heart disease through inflammatory mechanism.

Objective To explore the effects of AP on pulmonary fibrosis. Methods Alveolar macrophages (AM) were treated by AP for 24 hours. Pulmonary fibroblasts (FB) were cultured with the supernatant of AM medium. The protein of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-?1) of AM, the proliferative activity and hydroxyproline (Hyp) content of FB were examined. Rats were treated with AP by intratracheal instillation and sacrificed at 3 days. The TGF-?1 mRNA content in the lung was examined. Results The positive staining macrophages in low and high AP groups and the quantity of TGF-?1 in high AP group were obviously higher than those in the control group (P

Objective To investigate the influence of two general anesthestic modes on postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in the patients undergoing laparoscopic radical hysterectomy .Methods One hundred ASA Ⅰ‐Ⅱ patients undergoing lapa‐roscopic radical hysterectomy were randomly allocated to the propofol group (group P) and sevoflurane group (group S) ,50 cases in each group .The anaesthesia time ,total dose of sufentanil ,total dose of vecuronium ,recovery time ,recovery time for regaining ori‐entation and complications during anesthetic recovery period were recorded .The cognitive function was assessed by the mini‐mental state examination (MMSE) on preoperative 1 d (T0 ) ,postoperative 1 d (T1 ) ,postoperative 3 d ,(T2 ) ,postoperative 7 d (T3 ) ,post‐operative 1 month (T4 )、postoperative 3 months (T5 ) and the POCD occurrence situation was evaluated by adopting the Z scoring . Results The total dose of sufentanil and vecuronium in the group S was lower than that in the group P (P<0 .05) ,the recovery time and time for regaining orientation in the group S was longer than that in the group P (P<0 .05);the incidence rates of shive‐ring ,dysphoria and upper respiratory tract obstruction in the group S were higher than those in the group P (P<0 .05) .There were no statistically significant difference in the MMSE scores between the two groups (F=0 .14 ,P=0 .709);the MMSE scores in each group had statistical differences among different time points (F=74 .46 ,P<0 .01) .The interaction effect existed between the gen‐eral anesthetic mode and time with MMSE score (F=7 .99 ,P<0 .01);the MMSE scores at T1 ,T2 in the group S were lower than those in the group P (P<0 .05) .The incidence rate of POCD at T1 ,T2 、T3 ,T4 in the group S was higher than that in the group P (P<0 .05) .Conclusion The incidence rate of POCD in the patients undergoing laparoscopic radical hysterectomy by adopting sevoflurane inhalation general anaesthesia is higher than that by adopting propofol anesthesia ,but which has no difference after postoperative 3 months .

Objective:
To explore the mechanism of abnormal expression of microRNA155 (miR155) in myeloma drug-resistance to probe the possibility of inhibiting miR155 expression to restore chemotherapy sensitivity and its molecular mechanism in drug-resistant myeloma cells.
Methods:
Drug-resistant myeloma cell-line RPMI8226/DOX was established by culturing RPMI8226 cells with continuous low concentration and intermittent gradually increasing concentration of doxorubicin

Objective To investigate the value of MRI in thmmbolytic thempy of hyperacute cerebral arterial thrombosis.Methods One hundred and sixteen patients with acute cerebral arterial thrombosis were recruited.plain CT and multi.modal MRI were performed in all patients.Thirty-three patients with hyperacute cerebral infarction were treated bv recombinant tissue plasminogen activator(rt-PA) and followed-up periodically using MRI.Results The 33 patients with thrombolysis selected by MRI demonstrated clinical improvement.90 d moclified Rankin scale scores(mRs)were less than 2 and life quality Barthal indexes(BI)were from 80 to 100.The complication included one asymptomatic parenchymal hematoma(PH1)one weeks after thrombolytic therapy and 4(12.2%)hemorrhagic infarction(HI)6 to 24 hours after thrombolytic therapy.Condusions MRI has significant clinical value for the screening and follow-up of intravenous thrombolytic therapy of hyperacute ischemic stroke.MRI-based thrombolysis is a safe and effective method for hyperacute ischemic stroke.

Objective:
To understand the epidemiology characteristics of child injury aged 6-17. Data was from the National Injury Surveillance System (NISS) and the results of the study would provide corresponding intervention strategies and decision-making for child injury prevention.
Methods:
Descriptive analysis was applied to depict the general information, injury event and clinical characteristics of child injury aged 6-17 from 2015 to 2018.
Results:
A total of 331 663 child injury cases aged 6-17 were reported, with the male and female ratio appeared as 2.19∶1. 15:00-18:59 was the peak time of injury cases from 2015 to 2018. The majority of the injuries occurred unintentional(94.85%). The top three causes of injury cases were falling(51.38%), blunt injury (12.50%)and road traffic injury(11.27%). The injuries occurred mainly at home(28.23%), in schools/public places (27.70%) and on the road/street(20.35%). The main activities were leisure activities (46.67%) and sports activities(14.36%). 49.06% cases were bruise. 31.18% of the injury involved with head, but 83.32% of injuries were minor, while 90.05% left hospital after the treatment.
Conclusion
Falls, blunt injury and road traffic injury are the key causes of children aged 6-17 to go to the outpatient /emergency department for treatment. Prevention and control should be carried out according to the epidemic characteristics of injuries among children of different genders and ages.
