Objective To study the effects of QRS-complex duration of patients with chronic left heart failure on their in-hospital prognosis. Methods Total 174 patients admitted for chronic left heart failure ( New York Heart Association class 3 and 4 ) from January 2014 to June 2015 were enrolled the study. They were divided into two groups according to the QRS duration at admission:normal QRS duration group (QRS ≤120 ms, n=145) and prolonged QRS group (QRS ﹥120 ms, n=29). The differences of clinical characteristics and incidences of exacerbated left heart failure, fatal arrhythmias and cardiac death during hospitalization were compared between the two groups. The influences of QRS duration on in-hospital adverse cardiovascular events was analyzed by logistic regression. Resu1ts The proportion of males (75. 9% vs. 24. 1%, P=0. 001), plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) (7. 1 ± 0. 8 vs. 6. 6 ± 1. 0, P=0. 02), left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDd) [(60. 7 ± 9. 9)mm vs. (53. 5 ± 10. 8)mm, P=0.001], left ventricular end systolic diameter (LVESd) [(49.1 ±13.3)mm vs. (39.7 ±13.0)mm, P﹤0. 001], and the incidence of exacerbated left heart failure (20. 7% vs. 4. 8%, P = 0. 003), fatal arrhythmias (55. 2% vs. 21. 4%, P ﹤0. 001) and cardiac death (6. 9% vs. 0. 7%, P =0. 019) during hospitalization were significantly higher in the prolonged QRS group than in the normal QRS group. Left ventricular ejection fraction( LVEF) in the prolonged QRS group was significantly lower than in the normal QRS group (39. 6% ±17. 3% vs. 50. 5% ± 17. 3%, P =0. 002). Heart rates [(92. 4 ± 21. 4)bpm vs. (81. 6 ± 19. 9)bpm,P=0. 035], plasma BNP(7. 2 ± 0. 8 vs. 6. 7 ± 1. 0, P=0. 029), LVEDd(63. 5 ± 9. 1 vs. 57. 9 ± 9. 1, P=0. 015), LVESd (52. 9 ± 12. 2 vs. 44. 3 ± 11. 8, P=0. 005), incidences of left heart failure deterioration (18. 2% vs. 3. 2%, P=0. 018), fatal arrhythmias (63. 6% vs. 36. 5%, P=0. 027) and cardiac death ( 9. 1% vs. 0%, P=0. 015 ) during hospitalization among male patients in the prolonged QRS group were significantly higher than those in the normal QRS group, but LVEF ( 35. 0% ± 15. 3%vs. 47. 1% ± 16. 2%, P =0. 003 ) was on the opposite. The incidence of left heart failure deterioration among female patients in the prolonged QRS group was higher than that in the normal QRS group ( 28. 6%vs. 6. 1%, P=0. 034). QRS complex duration was positively related to LVEDd ( r=0. 4019, P﹤0. 001) and LVESd ( r =0. 3289, P ﹤0. 001 ) . LVEF in male patients was significantly lower than in female patients (40. 0% ± 16. 7% vs. 53. 2% ± 17. 6%, P﹤0. 001). On the contrary, LVEDd [(59. 4 ± 9. 4) mmvs. (50.3±10.6)mm,P﹤0.001],LVESd[(46.6±12.5)mmvs. (36.2±12.4)mm,P﹤0.001] were greater in male patients than in female patients. After adjusting for gender , age, cigarette smoking, history of high blood pressure, serum creatinine, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, LVEF, LVEDd, LVESd, use of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors ( ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blockers ( ARB) and aldosterone receptor blockers, multiple logistic regression analysis showed that prolonged QRS complex duration is an independent risk factor of adverse prognosis for the patients with HF during hospitalization (OR=4. 21,95%CI:1. 59-11. 12,P=0. 004), and female gender is a protective factor for them ( OR=0. 304,95%CI:0. 116-0. 793,P=0. 015). Conc1usions The incidences of left heart failure deterioration, fatal arrhythmias and cardiac death in the chronic left heart failure patients with prolonged QRS duration were higher than in those with normal duration. Female gender is a protective factor for chronic left heart failure.

A rapid high-throughput method for the determination of 26 mycotoxins involving multifunctional cleanup column coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry ( LC-MS/MS) was developed and validated for the determination in feedstuffs. The feedstuff samples were extracted by ultrasonic treatment for 1 hour and the extraction solvent was acetonitrile/water/formic acid (84:15. 9:0. 1, V/V). 1 mL of the supernatant layer was purified by a commercial Mycospin 400 multifunctional cleanup column, then dried and re-dissolved by 0. 25 mL water/methanol/formic acid (95:4. 9:0. 1, V/V) in a vial for injection into the LC-MS/MS system. Chromatographic analyses were carried out on a reversed phase C18 column and using a gradient elution with 0. 1% formic acid aqueous solution and 0. 1% formic acid methanol solution. The mass spectrometer was operated in a multiple reaction monitoring ( MRM) mode that selected one precursor ion and two product ions for each target compound. Validation studies were carried out in maize and soybean meal as representative matrixes. The most target compounds had different level of matrix effects. So, matrix-matched calibration was adopted for quantification. Mean recoveries from spiked samples at three levels ranged from 61 . 9% to 119 . 5% with relative standard deviations of 0 . 8%-18 . 6%. Limits of quantification ranged from 0. 5 μg/kg to 25 μg/kg.

Objective To investigate the expression of TGF-β activated kinase1 (TAK1),phosphoryted TAK1 (p-TAK1) and the density of tumor associated macrophages (TAM) in human pancreatic carcinoma tissues and pairing adjacent normal pancreatic tissues,and explore their relationship.Methods The expression of TAK1,p-TAK1,CD68 (the marker of tumor associated macrophages) proteins in 57 samples of pancreatic cancer tissues and 35 samples of pairing adjacent normal pancreatic tissues were detected by immunohistochemical method,then the density of TAM was evaluated.The relationship between the protein expression and TAM,and the relationship between them and clinicopathologic parameters were examined using SPSS 18.0 software,and the independent risk factors of TNM staging were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression.Results TAK1 and p-TAK1 were positively expressed in 42.1% (24/57) and 40.4% (23/57) pancreatic carcinoma tissues,significantly higher than adjacent normal pancreatic tissues [14.3 % (5/35) and 11.4% (4/35)];the proportion of pancreatic carcinoma tissues with high density TAM was 38.6% (22/57),higher than that of adjacent pancreatic tissues [8.6% (3/35)],the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).TAK1 expression was positively related to tumor size,tumor differentiation,lymph node metastasis,distant metastasis and clinical staging;p-TAK1 expression was positively related to tumor differentiation,lymph node metastasis,distant metastasis and clinical staging;the density of TAM was positively related tumor differentiation,lymph node metastasis,distant metastasis and clinical staging (all the P values were less than 0.05).The expression of TAK1 and p-TAK1were positively correlated with the density of TAM (P <0.001).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that high density of TAM was independently associated with advanced clinical staging (P =0.002,OR =129.5,95% CI 6.2 ~2718.6).Conclusions TAK1 pathway and TAM may play an important role in the pathogenesis and progression of pancreatic cancer,and there may be synergy effect between them.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of focal ischemic preconditioning (IPC) on the expression of protein kinase-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase ( PERK ) and glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) mRNA and protein after focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in rats.MethodsAll 120 male SD rats were randomly divided into three groups: sham-operation group,middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) group and brain ischemia preconditioning (BIP) group.Each group was further divided into 4 subgroups according to 12 h,1,2 and 3 d after I/R.The IPC models were made in order to measure the expression of PERK,GRP78 mRNA and protein by in situ hybridization and Western blot,and the apoptosis rate of neuron by flow cytometry. Results ①The expression of PERK mRNA increased and reached the peak at 12 h,then decreased continuously after 1 d.BIP could decrease its expression.The expression of PERK protein increased at 12 h and reached the peak at 24 h,then decreased continuously after 2 d.BIP could decrease its expression.②The expression both of GRP78 mRNA and its protein all increased and reached the peak at 12 h,then decreased continuously.BIP could increase their expression (mRNA:12 h: 136.70±9.53,F=32.265; 24 h:147.54 ±9.97,F=54.920; 2 d:158.16 ±9.44,F=45.374; 3d: 165.85±10.26,F=16.493,P<0.05; protein:12 h: 1.319±0.116,F=5.619,P<0.05; 24 h: 1.226±0.108,F=33.742,P<0.01; 2 d:1.183 ±0.112,F =46.556,P <0.01; 3 d:1.115± 0.098,F =11.730,P<0.05).③The rate of apoptosis neuron of rats in MCAO increased markedly at 12 h after reperfusion,and reached the peak at 1 d,then decreased continuously.BIP could decrease the rate of apoptosis neuron. Conclusion BIP can protect neurons through inhibiting the expression of PERK and inducing the expression of GRP78 after endoplasmic reticulum stress in rats.
