Objective To discuss the value of Duke treadmill score in the diagnosis of coronary heart disease.Methods 94 inpatients underwent treadmill test and coronary angiography,the relationship between the Duke treadmill score and the results of coronary angiography was analyzed.Results The prognostic accuracy and positive predictive value of Duke treadmill score to male and female were 88.9％,85.0％ ;those of traditional electrocardiogram ST standard were 89.6％,82.5 ％,the differences were significant (x2 =4.27,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The Duke treadmill score is much more significant than the traditional ST standard in the prognostic accuracy and positive predictive value of diagnosing coronary heart disease.

ObjectiveTo analyse the clinical characteristics of elderly patients with permanent cardiac pacemaker implanted. MethodsTo retrospectively analyze 41 elderly patients( ≥80 years) with permanent pacemakers implantation. Observing the clinical symptoms, bradyarrhythmia category, pacing mode, intraoperative pacing parameters,intraoperative and postoperative complications. ResultsAll patients were operated successfully. Pacing modes were,VVI 29 cases,VVIR 2 cases,DDD 9 cases and DDDR 1 case. Ventricular electrode located in right ventricular apical pacing. Atrial electrode located right heart ear. During the operateing, severe complications did not happen such as heart perforation, malignant arrhythmia. One case of postoperative dislocation electrode and one case of pocket hematocele were observed. After treatment, they were cured, no infection and pacemaker syndrome happened. 6 patients died during follow-up, postoperative from two months to 6 years. ConclusionPacing therapy in elderly patients is good. Surgical risk was not increased.

Chronic severe hepatitis is a critical disease with high mortality. Currently, effective drugs and therapy still lack. Comprehensive and supportive treatment, artificial liver and liver transplantation are the main therapies. A great number of studies on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in many ways combined with Western medicine treatment for chronic severe hepatitis have been reported, but the efficacy and safety still lack systematic evaluation.

0.05), but not in other brain regions. The number of GFAP-immunopositive cells of the E.coli-treated pups was markedly increased in periventricular white matter and hippocampus at P7 compared with the control group (P0.05). CONCLUSION: Intrauterine infection induces an increased expression of GFAP in the neonatal brain. [

Objective To evaluate the safety,feasibility and efficacy of emergency percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)on the spot in the patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI)in country hospitals by interventional cardiologists from higher-level hospitals(converse transport).Methods A total of 81 AMI patients received emergency PCI on the spot by interventional cardiologists from other higher-level hospitals (transported doctors)from Mar 2004 to Sep 2008 in our hospital.The mean age of patients was 68.6 ± 3.6 years (36.0-83.0 years).Forty-six patients were male and 35 were female.There were 56 cases with anterior myocardial infarction and 25 with inferior myocardial infarction(including 11 cases combined with right ventricular infarction).The average time from symptom onset to admission was 6.2 ± 1.8 hours(2.0-12.0hours).Results Three cases were transported to higher-level hospitals for CABG because of severe conditions.The other 78 cases received emergency PCI on the spot,among whom 66 cases received primary PCI.Another 12 cases received rescue PCI.Eight one stents were implanted in total into the infarcted arteries.One operation was failed because the balloon could not go through the lesion.The success.rate was 98.7％.Four patients occurred peri-operative cardiac adverse events and 2 cases died.Four cases died during the 32-86 months follow-up,of whom I was cardiac death and 3 was non-cardiac deaths.No fatal cardiovascular events occurred in the remained cases.Conclusion Emergency PCI on the spot by interventional cardiologists from other cities(converse transport PCI)in AMI is safe,feasible and effective.But it needs to be confirmed in a large-scale study in the future.

Objective To observe the protective effect of gradual ischemic postconditioning (IP) capable of improving reperfusion on reperfusion injury in patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEAMl) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI).Methods 102 in-patients with STEAMI undergoing PPCI in the Department of Cardiology in the First People's Hospital of Kunshan City Affiliated to Jiangsu University from February 2011 to August 2014 were enrolled in this study. They were divided into three groups by a random number table: IP group (32 cases), gradual IP group (30 cases) and routine reperfusion group (40 cases). In IP group, after the opening of the infarction related blood vessel, ischemic postconditioning within the first minute of arterial reperfusion was made through three episodes of 1 minute inflation and 1 minute pressure withdrawn of an angioplasty balloon, and then persistent reperfusion was carried out. In the gradual IP group, the patients received three times of gradual angioplasty balloon inflation and denation, 1 minute/1minute, 30 seconds/30 seconds and 15 seconds/15 seconds respectively, presenting the gradual change of IP time. In the routine reperfusion group, after the opening of blocked blood vessel, the patients underwent routine PCI to persistently recover the coronary artery blood supply. The changes of related lead ST segment regression (Sum-STR), incidence of reperfusion arrhythmia, corrected thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) franle count (CTFC), peaks of MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase (CK-MB), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and frequency of adverse events in follow-up period were compared among the three groups.Results The baseline characteristics were comparable in three groups. The incidence of ventricular premature beats was significantly lower in gradual IP group than that in routine reperfusion group [30.0% (9/30) vs. 55.0% (22/40),P < 0.05], and although theincidence of ventricular premature beats was lower in IP group than that in routine reperfusion group [34.4% (11/32) vs. 55.0% (22/40)], no statistically significant difference was found (P > 0.05). The incidence of ventricular tachycardia was significantly lower in IP and gradual IP groups than that in routine reperfusion group [15.6% (5/32), 13.3% (4/30) vs. 40.0% (16/40), bothP < 0.05]. The incidences of ventricular fibrillation, bradyarrhythmia and sinus arrest were lower in IP group and gradual IP group than those in routine reperfusion group, but no statistically significant differences were found (allP > 0.05). In IP group and gradual IP group, the Sum-STR incidence, CTFC, CK-MB peaks were lower than those of routine reperfusion group [Sum-STR: (56.7±18.3)%, (57.3±21.5)% vs. (44.6±21.6)%; CTFC: 25.47±5.37, 24.46±6.41 vs. 31.62±7.56; CK-MB peaks (U/L): 126.3±78.5, 121.6±82.5 vs. 147.4±72.5; allP < 0.05], the effect of gradual IP group being the best among the three groups. The levels of LVEF were slightly higher in IP and gradual IP groups than the level in routine reperfusion group (0.507±0.042, 0.511±0.062 vs. 0.497±0.062), but no statistically significant difference was found (bothP > 0.05). In routine reperfusion group, one patient died because the ventricular fibrillation could not be corrected and another one died of no-reflow during operation. Each group had 1 patient died during the 4 weeks of follow-up after operation, in the routine reperfusion group, one died of refractory heart failure, and the cause of death of other two patients, one in IP group and another in gradual IP group, was considered due to subacute thrombosis in stent. Major bleeding events were not found in each group.Conclusion Gradual IP can ameliorate myocardial reperfusion injury more significantly in patients with STEAMI undergoing PPCI.

Objectives To track bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) labeled by enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) and superparamagnetic iron oxide ( SPIO ) -poly-L-lysine (PLL) compound by MRI in vitro for autotransplantation into pancreas of type 1 diabetes miniature pigs. Methods The BMSCs were isolated by density gradient centrifugation and attachment culture from type 1 diabetes minipigs' bone marrow. Expressional intensity of EGFP in BMSCs transfected lentivirus-EGFP with a multiplicity of infection Different magnetic resonance scanning protocols were carried out on various density BMSCs labeled by different concentration of SPIO in various time-point in vitro. Results When SPIO concentration was 25mg/L (count in Fe3 + ), the positive Fe3+ -labeling rate of BMSCs was 93. 1%. Most of SPIO particles in BMSCs' cytoplasm were observed in secondary lysosomes, but they were not detected in important organelle as cell nucleus. Comparing with gelatin the MRI of BMSCs labeled with SPIO in the condition with 1 ×104/ml cells density and 25 mg/L Fe3+ concentration in vitro, the signal intensity changes (△SI) after BMSCs labeled with SPIO 3 weeks and 6 weeks in TSE T1WI, TSE T2WI and FLASH T2 * WI sequences were 12%, 41%, 63% and 7%, 28%, 46% respectively (P ＜ 0.01 and P ＜ 0.05, respectively).Conclusions The data showed that the porcine BMSCs labeled with SPIO and EGFP could be traced successfully in vitro by MRI in the suitable sequences.

Objective To study the relationship between the polymorphism of interleukin-12B (IL-12B)gene and coronary heart disease.Methods We recruited 256 patients with coronary heart disease admitted to our department as the study group and 256 normal subjects as the control group.The polymorphism of IL-12B gene was detected by polymerase chain reaction and single nucleotide polymorphism.Coronary artery stenosis,visfatin,high sensitive C reactive protein and cardiac function were determined.Results The difference in rs15677380 and rs14050311 allele frequencies between the study group and the control group was significant (χ2 =6.19,7.24,P=0.045,0.021).The G allele of rs15677380 and C allele of rs14050311 were risk factors for coronary heart disease (OR=1.32,1.49).Conclusion IL-12B gene is associated with the occurrence and development of carotid atherosclerosis and participates in the development of coronary heart disease.

Objective To analyze the clinicopathologic characteristics,treatment and prognosis of retinoblasto-ma without calcification.Methods The clinic and pathologic data of 20 cases of retinoblastoma without calcification were analyzed retrospectively.All the cases were selected from 710 cases of retinoblastoma archived in Beijing Tongren Hospital,Capital Medical University from April 2010 to April 2015.The inclusion criteria was no calcification on CT scan before treatment.The patients after enuclea-tion were diagnosed according to pathology;the patients without enu-cleation were diagnosed according to clinical manifestations,Retcam fundus,ophthalmic ultrasound and the reduction of tumor after chemotherapy.The clinical features,treatment and prognosis were summarized through statistical analysis of the 20 cases.The patients were followed -up through clinical reexamination and telephone calls.Results In this study,there were 14(70.0%)male and 6(30.0%)female patient′s;there were 19 cases(95.0%)less than 5 -year -old,14 cases (70.0%)less than 3 -year -old,1 case (5.0%)less than 1 -year -old.Eighteen cases (90.0%)were unilateral disease,and 2 cases (10.0%)were bilateral disease.According to international Intraocular Retinoblastoma Classification stage:4 cases (18.2%)in stage E ,17 cases (77.3%)in stage D ,1 case (4.5%)in stage C.Five cases (25.0%)were enucleated eyes,and pathology report was retinoblastoma.Nine cases (45.0%) were treated with pre -enucleation chemotherapy,and finally enucleated after poor tumor shrinkage or recurrence,and the pathology was retinoblastoma.Five cases (25.0%)without enucleation were stable.One case (5.0%)failed to follow -up owing to the patients irregular treatment.In 14 enucleation cases,histopathologic high risk factors could be found in 3 cases (21 .4%),and couldn′t be found in the other 11 cases (78.6%).In the cases that were not enuclea-ted,the tumor diminished in size or new calcification presented in the fundus examination,and in 12 cases,new calcifi-cation was pre-sented on follow -up CT scan.Follow -up failed in 1 case(5.0%),but follow -up was available for 19 cases,and among them 13 cases (68.4%)were disease -free survival and 6 cases (31 .6%)were alive with tumor. Conclusions Close attention should be paid to the untypical retinoblastoma with no calcification on CT scan through well -taken medical history and meticulous imaging examination,in order to give early diagnosis and therapy.

Objective To investigate the relationship between type-2 diabetes mellitus and artery atherosclerosis(AS) in the elderly. MethodsThe clinical data of 277 elders,who were admitted in hospital between April 2005 and September 2007, were retrospectively analyzed. These elders were divided into four groups: type 2 diabetes with carotid atherosclerosis (CAS) group (group A, n=119), type 2 diabetes without CAS group (group B, n= 30), non-diabetic with CAS group (group C, n=32), non-diabetic without CAS group (group D, n=96). The correlation between carotid artery plaque and related factors were studied. Results① Compared with group C,fasting blood glucose[(7.14±2.49) mmol/L vs. (5.21±0.87) mmol/L], triglycefide [(1.41±0.78) mmol/L vs. (0.95±0.39) mmol/L],left and right common carotid artery IMT [(0.85±0.11) nun vs. (0.79±0.08) mm, (0.85±0.11)mm vs. (0.78±0.09)mm] and PI [(1.37±1.16) vs. (0.50±0.80)] of group A were significantly increased, while high density lipoprotein [(1.29±0.32) mmol/L vs. (1.58±0.45) mmol/L] is significantly decreased(P=0.01). ②Compared with group B, left and right common carotid artery IMT [(0.85±0.11) mm vs. (0.80±0.11)mm,(0.85±0.11)mm vs. (0.80±0.12)mm,PI[(1.37±1.16) vs. (0.00±0.00)]and incidence of stroke 34.5% (41/119) vs. 13.3% (4/30) of group A are significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). ③Carotid artery plaque was positively correlated with history of diabetes(r=0.051, P<0.01),hypertension(r= 0.169,P<0.01),coronary heart disease (r=0.109,P<0.05),stroke(r=0.136,P<0.05),fatty liver(r= 0.340,P<0.01),FBG(r=0.339,P<0.01),TG(r=0.195,P<0.01),APOB (r=0.152,P<0.05),but negatively correlated with HDL-C (r=-0.143, P<0.05). Conclusion The risk of AS is higher in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes than that of non-diabetes. The incidence of stroke is higher in type 2 diabetes with AS than those of type 2 diabetes without AS. Carotid artery plaque is positively correlated with diabetes, hypertension, history of coronary heart disease, history of stroke, fatty liver, FBG, TG, ApoB, but negatively correlated with HDL-C.
