Objective To summarize the clinical experience of coronary angiography before coronary artery grafting (CABG) with concomitant valvular surgery in patients with valvlar disease. Methods From April 2000 to May 2005, two hundred and eleven patients over 50 years old (mean age 60 3.5) with valvlar diseases were studied retrospectively. Coronary angiography was utilized for patients who were found to have risk factors for atherosclerosis. Coronary stenosis over 50% of its calibre was considered positive, and 75% stenosis (including LMCA stenosis more than 50%) was used as the indication for coronary artery bypass surgery. Results Coronary angiography was employed in 128 patients and 30 cases (23.4%) had coronary artery stenosis exceeding 50%. CABG was concomitantly performed during cardiac valvular surgery in 24 patients. In-hospital mortality in patients with valve surgery alone was 0.5%, which was significantly lower compared with patients with valve surgery combined with CABG group (4.2%)(P

Objective To examine the effects of nitroglycerin tolerance on the following myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (MI/R). Methods Male Sprague-Dawley rats were rardomly subjected to either one of the following treatments: GTN 600 ?g/(kg/h) or saline infusion for 12 h. GTN tolerance was determined with the measurement of mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) and isolated arterial tension. All the GTN-tolerated and the control rats were subjected to 40 min of ischemia followed by 4 h of reperfusion. Myocardial apoptosis (TUNEL analysis), myocardial infarction size (Evans blue-TTC stain), plasma creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity were determined. Results Nitrate tolerance aggravated MI/R injury as evidenced by increased myocyte apoptosis and infarction size and plasma CK, LDH activity. However, sole GTN tolerance without MI/R injury failed to show any deleterious effect on rat heart. Conclusion GTN tolerance may exert a “potential" deleterious effect on the ischemic hearts.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features of patients with ankylosing spondylitis ( AS) and malignancies. Methods: In the study, 31 AS patients with malignancies in Peking University First Hospital from January 2006 to July 2014 were enrolled, and their clinical features were compared with AS patients without malignancies at the same time in the hospital. Then their general characteristics, clinical and imaging findings of AS, characteristics of malignancies and prognosis were retrospectively analyzed. Results:The 31 cases of AS with malignacies accounted for 11 . 8% of all AS patients admitted to the hos-pital in the same period. They comprised of 27 males (87%) and 4 females (13%) . Their mean ages at diagnosis of AS were 43 ± 17 years ( range:16-76 years) , and their mean ages at diagnosis of malig-nancy were 60 ± 12 years ( range:31-87 years) respectively. Malignancy was diagnosed after the estab-lishment of AS in 27 of our patients. Furthermore, imaging changes typical of AS were found in all the 31 patients at the diagnosis of AS, but the majority of them had never received any proper treatment for AS. The malignancies of 31 AS patients included bladder cancer (7 cases) , hematological malignancy (6 ca-ses), lung cancer (5 cases), renal cancer (5 cases), prostate cancer (2 cases), carcinoma of renal pelvis (2 cases) , breast cancer (2 cases) , gastric carcinoma (2 cases) , rectal cancer (2 cases) , neu-roendocrine carcinoma (2 cases) , colon carcinoma (1 case) , and esophagus cancer (1 case) . Conclu-sion:There is risk of malignancy in AS. Malignancy is not rare in patients with AS. Bladder cancer is the most common one followed by hematological malignancy. In consequence, close attention should be paied to the conditon of AS with malignancy in clinical practice.

Objective To compare serum protein fingerprint among Uygur patients with thyroid cancer and benign thyroid nodules, and Han patients with thyroid cancer, and to screen ethnic-specific protein markers of thyroid cancer. Methods Using the technology of two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE), the protein expression profiles of Uygur and Han patients with thyroid cancer and Uygur patients with thyroid nodules were established and compared by image analysis software between two groups. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry coupling techniques ( LC-MS/MS) were used to identify differential protein. The protein′s name, cellular localization and functional classification were searched in Swissport database. Results There are 11 differentially expressed proteins by comparison of sera in Uygur patients with benign thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer, in which complement C3 and C4b levels were down-regulated in the serums of Uygur patients with benign thyroid nodules, and 9 proteins such as heme-binding proteins etc were up-regulated. There are 7 differentially expressed proteins by comparison of serums in Uygur and Han patients with thyroid cancer, in which transferrin level was up-regulated in the serum of Uygur patients with thyroid cancer, and 6 proteins such as cytokeratin-1 etc were down-regulated in serum of Uygur patients with thyroid cancer. Conclusion Combined screening of multiple labelled proteins including heme-binding protein,α2-macroglobulin, and transferrin protein etc may provide the basis for the diagnosis of thyroid cancer in Uygurs and Hans.

171.1?mol/L) was 25.0%, 37.7% and 46.3%, the percentage of the fulminating hepatitis was 3.0%, 5.9% and 14.0%, and the mean hospital stay days for the convalescent patients were 31.59?18.97, 31.13?13.70 and 37.51?18.33 days, respectively. All these variables were significantly higher in aged group compared with youth and middle-aged groups. The levels of alanine transaminase (ALT) lowered significantly with the advance of age, and they were 1 711.7?1 063.4, 1 423.0?913.2 and 1 162.7?792.5U/L, respectively. The same was true in serum albumin and choline esterase (ChE). On the other hand, the percentage of acute hepatitis without jaundice decreased to 17.9%, 6.4%and 2.5% from the youth to the aged. However, TBIL on admission (131.41?106.97 vs 169.60?136.11 vs 164.36?106.22?mol/L) and the elevation of the peak of TBIL (135.01?109.15 vs 186.08?150.64 vs 209.63?143.74?mol/L) of the middle-aged and the aged were significantly higher than those of the youth. There was no significant difference in the symptoms, the ratio of direct to total bilirubin, mortality to complications among them. Furthermore, the serum IgM and IgG antibodies against HEV were negative in about 8.1% of the patients with HEV. Conclusion With a higher incidence and more severe hepatic damage, the middle-aged and the aged patients need a longer duration for recovery than the young patients.

ve To establish a method for determination of arsenic in drinking water. Methods The contents of arsenic in water samples were determined directly by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotome-try with masking agent of palladium. The working conditions were defined as wave length of 193.7 nm, slit width of 1.3 nm, current of hollow cathode lamp of 12.0 mA; drying 40 sec at 80℃~140℃ ; ashing 20 sec at 1100℃~1200℃; atomizing 5 sec at 2 300℃; purifying 4 sec at 2 600℃ . Results The linear relationship was 10~200?g/ L ar-senic. The average recovery rates of water samples at concentrations of 50 ?g/ L and 150?g/ L arsenic after being added arsenic standard solutions were 100.7% and 103.6% respectively, and sensitivity reached 10?g/ L. The cor-relation coefficient were 0.9954~0.999 7 obtained from 6 randomly repeated determination of standard curve. The metal ions coexisting in determined water samples didn't interfere the determination of arsenic under the application of common uncoated graphite tube. The 0.2% aluminum didn't disturb the determination of arsenic also. Conclusion This method could be applied in the determination of arsenic in water, especially could be applied in the direct deter-mination of arsenic in more clear water samples.
