Objective To study the influence of arachidonic acid (AA) on L-type calcium channel in rabbits sin-gle cardiomyocyte and its mechanism of antiarrhythmia. Method The single ventricular cardiomyocyte was isolat-ed by using enzyme dispersion method and whole-cell clamp-patch technique was used to record L-type calcium current.All data were analyzed using ANOVA. Results AA inhibited Ica-L in a concentration-dependent manner. The application of 3 μmol/L, 10 μmol/L and 20 μmol/L arachidonic acid reduced the density of peak Ica-L from (10.79±0.93)pA/pF to (8.99±0.43)pA/pF to (7.60±0.35)pA/pF and to (5.60±0.30)pA/pF, respctive-ly (n=7, P<0. O1 ). The Ica-Lpartially resumed after washout. The AA up-shifted the I-V curves of Ica-L without changes of their shape,peak and reverse potentials. The AA also markedly shifted the inactivation curve to left, and prolonged the recorvery time from inactivation,but did not change the curve of calcium channel activation. Con-clustions By acceleration of L-type calcium channel inactivation and prolongation of recorvery time from inactiva-fion,arachidonic acid can reduce the calcium ion influe and prolong effective refractory period, playing the role of antiarrhythmia.

Objective To assess the value of enhanced MSCT scan for the Crohn's disease of small bowel.Methods Fourty-five patients of small bowel Crohn's disease who were proved by multi-methed were examined by two-phase enhanced scan with MSCT.The images were reformed in ADW 4.2 by MPR mainly.The CT values of the lesion segments in different phases were tested, with one way ANOVA in statistical analysis; the density difference between the lesion segments and normal segments in different phases were tested,the cases were divided according to 10 HU,and compared them with each other by X2 test.Results The average CT value of lesion segments was (39.3±3.7) HU in plain scan, (74.8 ± 13.8) HU in artery phase, (90.2 ± 12.3) HU in portal vein phase, there were sinigicant difference in them(F =258.87,P < 0.01).There were sinigicant difference in CT value of lesion segments between any phase and other two phases (P < 0.05).In 45 cases, there were 44 cases and one case that the difference of CT value were ≤±10 HU and > 10 HU respectively in plain scan, 6 cases and 39 cases in artery phase, 2 cases and 43 cases in portal vein phase, by X2 test, there were sinigicant difference betwwen plain scan and artery phase(X2 =32.49,P <0.01), and significant difference between plain scan and portal vein phase(X2 = 39.22,P <0.01), there were no significant difference between artery phase and portal vein phase (X2 = 1.10,P>0.05).After enhancement, the lesions can display clearly than plain scan, and the detectable rate was raised highly.Conclusion Two-phase enhancement scan can diagnosis the Crohn's disease of small bowel and evaluate it overall.

OBJECTIVE:To compare therapeutic efficacy and safety of laparoscopy combined with dienogest and laparoscopy combined with dienogest and TCM in the treatment of endometriosis. METHODS:126 endometriosis patients were selected and divid-ed into control group and observation group,with 63 cases in each group. Control group received combined with dienogest(25 mg/time,qd);observation group was additionally given TCM on the basis of control group. Therapeutic efficacy,recovery time of ovula-tion,menstrual recovery time and ADR were compared between 2 groups,and recurrence and pregnancy of them were followed up for 2 years. RESULTS:The total effective rate of observation group (93.65%) was significantly higher than that of control group (80.96%),with statistical significance (P<0.05). The menstrual recovery time and recovery time of ovulation in observation group were significantly shorter than control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). The incidence of ADR in observation group (9.52%)was significantly lower than control group(26.98%),with statistical significance(P<0.05);the recurrence rate of observa-tion group (4.76%) was significantly lower than that of control group (17.46%),with statistical significance (P<0.05). In 2-year follow-up,there were 23 pregnancy patients in observation group,which was significantly higher than that of control group (9 cas-es),with statistical significance (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Laparoscopy combined with dienogest and TCM in the treatment of endometriosis have better clinical effect,higher safety and lower recurrence rate. The patients are easily pregnant.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of biofeedback for anxiety patients by carrying out a Meta-analysis.Methods We searched CNKI,VIP,CBM(1989 to 2013) to identify relevant randomized-control trials applying biofeedback for anxiety patients.We used Review Management (RevMan) 5.0 software (provided by the Cochrane collaboration) to conduct Meta-analysis.Results We included 11 studies.Meta-analysis for the biofeedback group vs.the control group showed that biofeedback was significantly superior to control (SMD=-3.00,95％CI:-4.40～-1.61); Meta-analysis for the biofeedback plus drug group vs.drug group showed that biofeedback plus drug was significantly superior to drug (SMD=-1.33,95％CI:-1.82～-0.85).Conclusions We found evidence that biofeedback (applying alone or combined with drugs) is effective in improving anxiety symptom.But all the studies had methodological limitations,our conclusion needs further studies with strict design,high quality and consistent assessment tools to be expounded and proven.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of E-cadherin on the proliferation ability of Hep-2 by method of RNA interference technology to silence the expression of E-cadherin. METHODS The specific siRNA sequences and non-silencing siRNA were designed and synthesized. Hep-2 cells were transfected and then the down expression of E-cadherin gene in vitro cultured Hep-2 cells were got. The silencing effect of E-cadherin gene was explored by Fluorescence Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction and the proliferation of the transfected Hep-2 cells were detected in vitro by MTT assay. RESULTS 1.When transfected with the ratio of recombinant plasmid and the quality of liposome volume at 1:1, the transfection efficiency at the siRNA-3 group was the highest and can be up to 65%. 2.The results of Fluorescence Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction: recombinant plasmid pRNAT-U6.1/Neo-siRNA1, pRNAT-U6.1/Neo-siRNA2 and pRNAT-U6.1/Neo-siRNA3 can down regulate the expression of E-cadherin mRAN. Set blank control group as a baseline (set to 1), the changes of expression of E-cadherin relative to β-actin in siRNA-1group was 0.00092, siRNA-2 group was 0.00143, siRNA-3 group was 0.00045 and the negative control group was 3.44898. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). 3. MTT: The growth rate of Hep-2 cells treated by specific siRNA was faster than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Effectively inhibition the expression of E-cadherin's mRAN can enhance the proliferation of Hep-2 cells.

[Objective] To propose a criterion for making conclusions on paternity tests based on STR genotyping. [Method] To use binomial distribution formula to calculate minimal numbers of STR loci that must be tested for different scenarios in paternity testing. [ Results ] We proposed a set of criteria for making STR paternity testing conclusions. For triplet tests, concluded "paternity positive" for the following four cases when the cumulative paternity index (PI) was greater than 10 000: 1) no inconsistent STR locus was detected in 15 loci (PE > 0.571 4/locus) or 2) only one inconsistent STR locus was detected in 19 loci or 3) only two inconsistent STR loci were detected in 28 loci or 4) only three inconsistent STR loci were detected in 35 loci; otherwise, concluded "paternity negative" when at least four inconsistent STR loci had been detected. For single parent tests, concluded "paternity non-exclusive" for the following cases when the cumulative PI was greater than 10 000: 1) no inconsistent STR locus was detected in 18 loci (PE>0.411/locus) or 2) only one inconsistent STR locus was detected in 29 loci or 3) two inconsistent STR loci were detected in 41 loci; concluded "paternity negative" when three or more inconsistent loci were detected. [Conclusion] Our experience has proven that these criteria are robust in STR paternity testing.

Postoperative complications happened in 15 cases (62.5%, 15/24) and the postoperative mortality rate was 20.8%.ConclusionsThe elderly patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm are always complicated with manyother chronic diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease , diabetes mellitus, chronicbronchitis. The operation for abdominal aortic aneurysm in elderly patients has high risk. Reasonablesurgical procedure and active perioperative management are the key for successful treatment.

Objective To explore the impact of hypoxia/reoxygenation stimulation on phenotype and immune activity of dendritic cells(DCs) cultured from murine bone marrow. Methods Mouse DCs were generated from bone marrow cells and were divided into control group and hypoxia/reoxygenation group. DC in control group was cultured at normal condition, and in hypoxia/reoxygenation group was cultured at hypoxic condition for 4 h followed by cultured at normal condition for 24 h. Flow cytometry and mixed lym-phocyte reaction(MLR) was used to detect the phenotype and functional properties of DCs. ELISA was used to detect the concentration of TNF-α, IFN-γ and IL-12 in the supernalant, Imrounochemistry was used to de-tect the concentration of NF-κB. Results Hypoxia/reoxygen stimulation increased the CD80, CD86, MHC Ⅱ in the cytomembrane of DCs and TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-12 concentration in the supernalant. Hypoxia/reoxy-gen stimulation also promoted the shift of NF-κB to karyon. Conclusion Under hypoxia/reoxygen stimula-tion, DCs express high level of surface molecules, and possess strong immune activity.
