Objective To investigate the relationship between AT2-receptor 1675A/G gene polymorphism and essential hypertension in men.Methods The 113 EH male patients and 101 controls were born in Jining.The 1675A/G polymorphism of AGTR2 gene was detected by PCR,HRM and gene sequencing.Results There was difference in genetypes(AA,GG) distribution and allele frenqency of AGTR2 1675A/G between male EH and control group (P＜0.05).Genotypes(AA,GG) distribution in EH group[56(49.6%) and 57(50.4%)]are significantly higher than that in control group [32 (31.7%) and 69 (68.3%)](P＜0.05).Allele frenqency in EH group[A:112(49.6%) and G:114(50.4%)]is significantly higher than that in control group[64(31.7%) and 138(68.3%)](P＜0.05).Conclusion The 1675A/G polymorphism of AGTR2 gene may be associated with male EH in Jining area,Shandong province.

[Objective]To explore the operation modes and outcomes of proximal femur tumor with pathological fracture. [Methods]There were 46 cases to be reviewed from october 2001 to June 2007,all were respectively treated by 6 surgery methods:curettage and bone grafts after fracture healing by external fixation in 7 cases (Group A),bone transplantation and internal fixation in 11 cases (Group B),fibula grafting with blood vessel after curettage in 6 cases (Group C),bone cement plugging and interlocking intramedullary nailing after curettage in 8 cases (Group D),tumor segment resection and endoprosthesis in 12 cases (Group E),and hip joints disarticulation in 2 cases (Group F).[Results]According to Enneking evaluation standard in limbs function,the excellent to good rate was 85.7% in Group A,88.8% in Group B with 9 cases followed up,83.3% in Group C,66.6% in Group D with 5 patients died,75% in Group E with 5 patients died and 1 case recurrence.[Conclusion]Proper operation methods of the proximal femur depend on the basis of tumor characteristics,the degree of damage and fracture displacement. Benign tumor could be treated by tumor curettage and bone grafts,femoral neck fracture by rigid fibula graft,malignant tumor by prosthesis replacement or interlocking intramedullary nails.

Objective This study was aimed to investigate the methodology of radiofrequency ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) in complicated cases Methods 130 cases (87 males) with the average age of 56 years were enrolled consecutively Each patient was diagnosed PAF by Holter and ECG After routine transseptal procedure and cannulation, retrograde pulmonary venography was taken to show the anatomic morphology of all pulmonary veins (PVs) Under the guidance of Lasso circular mapping catheter, all cases underwent electrical isolation for four PVs using the saline irrigated ablation catheter Results (1) By venography,21 PVs (16 2%) were found to have enormously dilated ostia in 21 out of 130 cases 5 PVs (3 8%) had left common trunks 3 PVs (2 3%) had right common trunks In 6 cases right PVs were found to have multiple bifurcated ostia, and the prevalence rate was 4 7% (2) A total of 341 PVs were targeted for segmental ablation in 130 cases Complete isolation was failed in 29 PVs, including 11 PVs with dilated ostia Among the 29 PVs, 14 were left superior PVs (LSPVs), 8 were left inferior PVs (LIPVs), 5 were right inferior PVs (RIPVs), and 2 were right superior PVs (RSPVs) Conclusion The anatomical variants of PV was the main cause of complicating radiofrequency ablation in patients with PAF

To investigate the effect of preceding naloxone injection into the third cerebroventricle or acute subdiaphragmatic vagotomy on the gastric acid secretion inhibited by the somatostatin analogue octreotide given by intracerebroventricular (icv) injection. The third ventricles were cannulated in male Wistar rats anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital. One week later, acute gastric lumen perfusion was carried out. The gastric perfusion samples were collected every 10 min and were titrated by 0.01 mol/L NaOH to neuter. On the basis of subcutaneous injection of pentagastrin (G-5, 160 micro, g/kg), icv injection of physiological saline (group A, n = 20), icv injection of octreotide (0.05 micro g) (group B, n = 20), icv injection of naloxone (2.5 micro g)+octreotide (0.05 micro g) (group C, n = 20), acute subdiaphragmatic vagotomy+ icv injection of physiological saline (group D, n = 20), or acute subdiaphragmatic vagotomy+icv injection of octreotide (0.05 micro g) (group E, n = 20) were conducted. Before and after icv injection, 1-h total acid output (TAO) was determined and compared. The experimental data were expressed in change rate (%) of TAO. The change rates (%) of TAO were 4.60% in group A, -20.35% in group B, -18.06% in group C, 5.01% in group D and -21.59% in group E, respectively. Comparison of group B or C versus group A showed that P < 0.01 and comparison between the group E versus group D showed that P < 0.01. Whereas the differences between group C and group B, group E and group B were not statistically significant (P > 0.05 for all). The results indicate that the central inhibition of gastric acid secretion by octreotide may not be mediated by the endogenous opiate substance or its receptor and the peripheral pathway for icv injection of octreotide to suppress gastric acid secretion is via extra-vagus route.

One hundred patients with type 2 diabetic neuropathy were divided into L-carnitine group and control group with 50 eases in each group. Data showed significant improvements in clinical symptoms scores, visual analogue scale and quantitative sense test after 16-week L-earnitine treatment (all P < 0.05). The study demonstrates that L-earnitine has affirmative effect on patients with diabetic neuropathy, especially in alleviating pain.
