Objective To explore the changes of left atrial systolic function in patients with coronary heart disease after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods Strain rate imaging (SRI) was performed on 23 patients with coronary heart disease before CABG, 1 week, 1 and 3 months after CABG to evaluate left atrial systolic function quantitatively. Results No significant change of left atrial systolic function was detected 1 week after CABG (P＞0.05 ). E/A and LVEF increased, LAFS, AEF and SRa decreased 1 month after CABG compared with those before CABG (P＜0.05). Three months after CABG, changes turned more significantly (P＜0.01). Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) increased 1 and 3 months after CABG, and its changing rate negatively correlated with those of Sra (r=-0.751,-0.783; all P＜0.01). Conclusion Left atrial systolic function is affected by CABG, presenting as decrease of pump function. SRI can be used to evaluate the atrial systolic function quantitatively and monitor the changing of left atrial systolic function dynamically after CABG.

Objective To explore the effect of coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG) on left atrial (LA) function by strain rate imaging(SRI). Methods Twenty-three patients with coronary heart disease who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting were involved. SRI was performed on those patients to evaluate LA function quantitatively at baseline (before CABG),and at 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after CABG. Peak strain rate(SR) was measured at each segment (septal, lateral, posterior, anterior, and inferior walls) and mean peak systolic SR (SRs),peak early diastolic SR (SRe) and peak atrial systolic SR (SRa) were calculated by averaging data in each segment. Results Compared with the baseline,LV pre-systolic volume(LAVp), maximal volume (LAVmax), minimal volume (LAVmin), LV active emptying fraction (LAAEF) and passive empting fraction(LAPEF) had on significant differences at 1 week (P >0.05). LAVp,LAVmin,LAVmax and LAAEF decreased gradually after CABG, LAPEF increased gradually after CABG (P <0.05). Compared with the baseline, the peaks of SR curve showed no significant differences at 1 week (P >0.05). Nevertheless,the peaks of SR were increased at systole and early diastole,decreased at atrial contraction at 1 month (P <0.05). Those changes were turned more significantly at 3 months (P 0.01). Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) both increased at 1 month and 3 months,and its changing rate correlated inversely with the changing rate of SRa respectively (r = -0.751, -0.783,all P<0.01).Conclusions LA function is affected by CABG, presented as reservoir and pump functions decreased and conduit function increased. SRI can evaluate the atrial function quantitatively and monitor the changing of LA function dynamically after CABG.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of frontoparietal drill versus parietal drill in the burring hole and drainage for chronic subdural hematoma(CSDH),and provide an evidence for clinical application.Methods A total of 82 patients with CSDH from January 2013 to January 2016 in our hospital were randomly divided into observation group and control group.The observation group chose frontoparietal drill which located at the front 1/4 point at the axial view with the thickest hematoma.Control group chose parietal drill which nearby the parietal tuberodties at the axial view with the thickest hematoma.The postoperative residual hematoma volume,intracranial gas volume,recurrence rate,neurologic function and mental state between two groups were compared.Results The postoperative residual hematoma volume,intracranial gas volume,the recurrence rate and CSS were lower compared with the control group,the differences were significant(P<0.05).The MMSE score of observation group were higher that of the control group,the difference was significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The frontoparietal drill has a better effect to remove the hematoma and promotes neural functional recovery.

The percent of N and C composition in spores or sporocarps of different species of two genera of VA mycorrhizal fungi—Gloraus and Sclerocystis were analysed. It was found that culture period effects the percent of N,C and their ratio, although the influences of host and origin of strain of fungi on those appeared to be low. N,C percentage and their ratio in spores or sporocarps were variable among fungal species of a same genus, but difference between two genera was significantly. This technology may serve as a supplementary indicator for classification and identification of VA mycorrhizal fungi.

Objective To observe imaging characteristics and changes of vivo two-dimension multi-voxel proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (~1H-MRS) in the rabbit models of VX2 hepatic carcinoma after high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment. Methods VX2 hepatic carcinoma models were established in 20 New Zealand rabbits. Routine MR and 2-dimentional ~1H-MRS scanning were performed before and after HIFU treatment. The central regions of interest (ROI) of the VX2 tumor, tumor border and paratumor normal liver tissues were selected. The Cho/Cr and Lip/Cr of the same ROI before and after HIFU treatment were compared. Results Total 28 satisfied spectrogram diagram of ~1H-MRS were brought into statistical analysis. Of all the spectra, 6 metabolite peaks were detected as lipids (Lip), glutamine and glutamate complex (Glx), choline (Cho), lactate (Lac) and creatine (Cr). Cho and Lac peak in tumor center and tumor border regions after HIFU treatment were higher than those before HIFU treatment. Lip peak was lower than before, and major metabolites of paratumor normal liver tissues did not changed significantly. Statistical differences of Cho/Cr and Lipid/Cr of tumor center and border region were found between before and after HIFU treatment (P＜0.05). Conclusion Two-dimension multi-voxel ~1H-MRS can reflect major changes in the level of metabolites of different ROI for hepatic VX2 carcinoma after HIFU treatment.

Objective To prepare a conjugate vaccine by linking Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib)polysaccharide to PsaA protein carrier and evaluate the immunogenicity and efficacy of the conjugate vaccine. Methods A recombinant protein rPsaA,expressed by using the genetic engineering technology, was used as a protein carrier to prepare conjugate vaccine together with Hib polysaccharide. Ten mice at age of 3 weeks were immunized with the conjugate vaccine,while another 10 age-matched mice were immunized with Hib-tetanus toxoid(Hib-TT)vaccine which was produced formerly as a control. The mice treated with equal volume of PBS were set up as the negative control. The IgG antibodies in serum samples against PsaA and Hib polysaccharide were detected in two weeks after the final immunization. A suspension of Pneumococ-cus was injected into the middle ears of mice from experiment and control group. Histopathological analysis was performed to measure the clearance of bacteria in the middle ears and the severity of infection on days 3 and 7 after bacterial challenge. Results The rPsaA protein was prepared by the genetic engineering tech-nology and purified successfully with anion-exchange column. The Hib polysaccharide-PsaA protein conju-gate vaccine was prepared through a series of amide condensation reactions. The detection of IgG antibodies against PsaA protein and Hib polysaccharide in the immunized mice demonstrated that there was no signifi-cant difference with the titer of IgG against Hib polysaccharide between the mice immunized with the Hib-PsaA conjugate vaccine and those immunized with the Hib-TT vaccine. Less Pneumococcus strains were de-tected in the middle ears of mice immunized with the conjugate vaccine than those mice immunized with the Hib-TT vaccine three days after challenge. The mice from control group showed severe inflammation in the middle ears than those from experiment group. The Hib polysaccharide-PsaA protein conjugate vaccine im-proved protection against Pneumococcus infections as compared with the Hib-TT vaccine. Conclusion The rPsaA protein could be produced by genetic engineering technology and purified by anion-exchange column. The Hib polysaccharide was successfully conjugated with the rPsaA protein through amide condensation reac-tion. Both anti-PsaA and anti-Hib immune responses were induced in young mice by the injection of Hib pol-ysaccharide-PsaA protein conjugate vaccine. Apart from providing protection against Hib infection,the con-jugate vaccine might also be used for the prevention of acute otitis media caused by Pneumococcus infection.

AIM: To evaluate the effect of GYY4137, a novel hydrogen sulfide (H2S) donor, on cytosolic lipid decomposition in mouse primary steatosis hepatocytes.METHODS: Oleic acid (OA) was used to induce hepatic steatosis model in vitro.The C57BL/6 mouse primary hepatocytes isolated and cultured by 2-step in situ perfusion were divided into 4 groups: the cells in control group were incubated with normal medium for 54 h;the cells in model group were incubated with OA at 1.2 mmol/L for 48 h followed by serum-free phenol red-free RPMI-1640 for 6 h;the cells in H2S group or DL-propar-gylglycine (PAG;an inhibitor of cystathione γ-lysase, inhibiting H2S synthesis) group were incubated with OA at 1.2 mmol/L for 48 h followed by serum-free phenol red-free RPMI-1640 which contained 1 mmol/L GYY4137 or 200 μmol/L PAG for 6 h.The glycerin release and the protein expression of hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) in the cells were mea-sured.RESULTS: Compared with model group, the glycerin release and the protein expression of phosphorylated HSL (p-HSL) in H2S group decreased significantly, while those increased significantly in PAG group.CONCLUSION: In steatosis hepatocytes, exogenous H2S possibly decreases cytosolic lipid decomposition by decreasing the protein level of p-HSL.
