Purpose To evaluate the correlation between acute pulmonary embolism (APE) and right ventricular parameters by multi-slice spiral computed tomography pulmonary angiogmphy (MSCTPA),and assess the severity and mortality of patients with APE.Materials and Methods The clinical and MSCTPA image data of APE patients from January 2012 to November 2015 was analyzed retrospectively.All the patients were divided into three groups according to the pulmonary embolism type and clinical prognosis:66 cases in mixed embolism group (25 cases of death,41 cases of survival);36 cases in peripheral embolism group,2 cases in centralembolism group.The CT post-processing software was used to measure thoracic aorta and main pulmonary artery inner diameter ratio (PA/AO),right ventricular diameter to left ventricular diameter ratio (RVD/LVD);right ventricular area to left ventricular area ratio (RVA/LVA) on axial four-chamber (4-CH) sections and the largest of maximum minor axis diameters on axial sections (RV/LV-LD).The difference of CT related right ventricular parameters among the mixed embolism groups,peripheral embolism and normal groups was compared.Results Statistical difference was found in right ventricular parameters (RVD/LVD,RV-LD/LV-LD,RVA/LVA) in mixed embolism death patients compared with the patients in other three groups (P＜0.05).There was significant difference of right ventricular parameters RVD/LVD,RVA/LVA in mixed pulmonary embolism survival patients compared with patients in peripheral pulmonary embolism and normal groups (P＜0.05),but there was no significant difference between peripheral APE patients and the control group in all RV and PA/AO parameters (P＞0.05).According to the result of ROC curve in mixed type embolism death patients,RVA/LVA was the best indicator of predicting early death (AUC=0.881),with 100.0％ sensitivity and 73.2％ specificity.Conclusion The right ventricular parameters by multislice CT pulmonary angiography can assess APE patient's condition and forecast their early mortality;and the clinical diagnosis accuracy of RVA/LVA is higher.

Objective To study the effect of CO 2 pneumoperitoneum and enteric disturbance on serum ?-endorphin (?-EP) in SD rats, in order to investigate their influence on peri-operative stress responses in SD rats. Methods A total of 120 SPF-grade male SD rats were randomly divided into four groups with 30 rats in each group. The four groups received CO 2 pneumoperitoneum (Group A), a 5 cm abdominal incision (Group B), a 5 cm abdominal incision with gastroenteric disturbance (Group C), and intraperitoneal anesthesia (Group D or Control Group), respectively. Concentrations of serum ?-EP of these groups were measured 10 min, 20 min, and 40 min after the beginning of surgery, respectively. Results Concentrations of serum ?-EP in the Group A 10 min, 20 min, and 40 min after the beginning of surgery were 274 7?66 6 pg/dl, 157 3?63 8 pg/dl, and 163 9?74 5 pg/dl, respectively, which were all extremely significantly higher than those in the Control Group ( P

In the embryonic period, myosin regulatory light chain (MYL2) plays a pivotal role in the development and function of the heart. A large number of studies have previously confirmed that the mutation of MYL2 gene, also known as MLC2, confers intimate associations with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. MYL2 gene mutation impacts the structure and function of myosin, thereby leading to the occurrence and progression of hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathy as well as the following chronic heart failure. Importantly, MYL2 phosphorylation renders crucial effects in the processes of cardiac contraction, ventricular torsion and cardiac function.

Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of stenting ureteral stent prior to extracorporeal shock wave lithotrip‐sy(ESWL) for non‐obstructive upper ureter and renal stone .Methods From January 2012 to October 2013 ,a total of 96 patients who met inclusion and exclusion criteria were randomly devided into two groups :a stented group (group B) with a double‐J ureter stent fixed pre‐ESWL and a non‐stented group (group A) treated with ESWL direactly .Outcomes were evaluated in 1 month and then the ureter stent was removed ,another evaluation was taken after 2 months .Results The clearance rate in group A was signifi‐cant higher than that of group B at first month(P=0 .02) ,but group B was significant higher than that of group A at the second month(P=0 .001) .The renal colic rate of group A was significant higher than that of group B(P=0 .001) ,the gross hematuria rate of group B was significant higher than that of group A(P=0 .005) .The comparison of fever ,steinstrasse ,lower urinary tract syn‐drome showed no statistical difference(P>0 .05) .Conclusion Stenting ureter stent may increase the clearance rate of ESWL by 1 session for non‐obstructive upper ureter and renal stone ,but the passage of stones mainly happen after the removing of stent .Stent‐ing can also prevent the morbidity of renal colic without increasing low urinary tract syndrome ,but can increase the morbidity of gross hematuira .

Objective:To investigate the effect of Matrine on inhibiting lipopolysaccharide( lipopolysaccharide ,LPS) -induced macrophages to secrete inflammatory cytokines,including tumor necrosis factor-α( TNF-α) ,leukocyte mediated element 1β( IL-1β) on Toll like receptor 4 ( TLR4 ) , c-jun expression. Methods: Cultured macrophage RAW264. 7 of mouse and divided into four groups, including blank control group,matrine group,LPS group,matrine intervention group. Incubated by the concentration was 100 μg/L LPS DMEM for 1 h,then the LPS was discard. Added free serum DMEM or 125. 25 mg/L matrine DMEM to culture. The cells and culture solution of 5,30,60,120 min after the treatment of the above four groups were collected respectively. Detected of mouse RAW264. 7 macrophage TLR4 and c-jun mRNA expression by PCR. Detected of mouse macrophage RAW264. 7 cells c-jun protein expression by immunocytochemical. Measured secretion in cultured solution of TNF-α and IL-1β by ELISA. Results:Expression TLR4 mRNA,c-jun mRNA and c-jun protein and TNF -α and IL-1β secretion quantity indexes of matrine induced and blank group had no statistical significant differences ( P>0. 05 ) . TLR4 mRNA, c-jun mRNA and c-jun protein expression secretion of and TNF-α and IL-1β LPS group at each time point were significantly higher than that of blank group,and the high level to maintain more than 2 h (P<0. 05);matrine intervention group could effectively inhibit LPS induced macrophage TLR4 mRNA,c-jun mRNA and c-jun protein expression and reduce the secretion of inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-1β. Conclusion: Matrine may inhibit LPS induced macrophage mitogen activated protein kinase signal pathway of TLR4 and c-jun expression so that it can effectively reduce the end inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-1β release,effectively inhibit the inflammatory reaction and reduce the degree of endotoxin inflammatory re-sponse.

Diastolic and systolic dysfunction of cerebral artery is an important pathophysioiogical basis of the occurrence and development of cerebrovascular diseases, and is also the presence of decreased cerebrovascular reserve capacity. Cerebrovascular myogenic and metabolic regulation abilities can be evaluated by different methods so as to reflect cerebrovascular reserve capacity, of those, transcranial Doppler ultrasonography is the most widely used one. Various diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and carotid atherosclerosis also have great effect on cerebrovascular reserve capacity.
