Objective To detect the changes in cTnI and CK MB during extracorporeal circulation and the myocardial injury by extracorporeal circulation. Methods The value of cTnI and CK MB was determined in 30 persons during extracorporeal circulation. We divided them into 6 groups according to pre operation, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours after operation. Modified method (Bodor et al) was used to detect cTnI, and immune suppression method to detect CK MB. Results cTnI and CK MB were, cTnI ( ?s ) (5.20?2 80) ?g/L,CK MB ( ?s ) (10.75?4.70) U/L in 28 persons. They elevated 6 hours after operation. 12 24 hours after operation cTnI and CK MB increased to the maximum, cTnI 28.80 71.30 ?g/L,CK MB 55.60 71.30 U/L. During 48 72 hours, CK MB decreased to normal, 49.70 22.80 U/L. cTnI was 9.40 19.80 ?g/L 72 hours after operation. Conclusion Extracorporeal circulation may cause myocardial diseases. cTnI is a more sensitive biochemical marker for myocardial diseases.

Objective To understand the distribution and change in drug resistance of common pathogens before and after the implementation of special rectification activity on antimicrobial use in 2011-2015,and provide guidance for clinical application of antimicrobial agents.Methods Antimicrobial use in hospitalized patients and pathogens isolated from patients in a hospital from 2011 to 2015 were collected,changing trend of resistance rates of major pathogens to commonly used antimicrobial agents was analyzed.Results From 2011 to 2015,antimicrobial utilization rate in hospitalized patients dropped from 75.84%to 37.35%,antimicrobial use density decreased from 59.53 per 100 patient days to 33.63 per 100 patient days,both showed a downward trend(both P<0.05).A total of 10 091 strains of pathogens were isolated,2 338(23.17%)of which were gram-positive bacteria,7 110(70.46%)were gram-negative bacteria,and 643(6.37%)were fungi.The top five pathogens were Escherichia coli(20.85%),Klebsiella pneumoniae(15.90%),Pseudomonas aeruginosa(11.70%),Staphylococcus aureus(7.35%),and Acinetobacter baumannii(6.82%).Resistance rates of major pathogens to commonly used antimicrobial agents decreased year by year(P<0.05),resistance rates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae to piperacillin/tazobactam,cefoxitin,and amikacin declined most obviously(all<4%in 2015);compared with Acinetobacter baumannii,Pseudomonas aeruginosa had higher sensitivity to commonly used antimicrobial agents,resistance rates to piperacillin/tazobactam,cefoperazone/sulbactam,ceftazidime,cefepime,amikacin,and ciprofloxacin decreased obviously,resistance rate to above antimicrobial agents was <20%,to carbapenems was higher than other commonly used antimicrobial agents.Resistance rates of Acinetobacter baumannii to amikacin,levofloxacin decreased most obviously,to meropenem and imipenem increased obviously,in 2015 were both above 50%.Resistance rate of Staphylococcus aureus to fluoroquinolones declined most obviously(<2%),vancomycin-resistant strains were not found.Conclusion After the implementation of special rectification activity,resistance rates of common pathogens decreased with the decline of antimicrobial use,rational use of antimicrobial agents may be related to delaying bacterial resistance.

Objective To explore effects of sequel recanalization PCI therapy(primary coronary intervention,PCI) on cardiac function for the patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI),and related factors.Methods 116 patients with STEMI enrolled were divided randomly into two groups:sequel recanalization PCI group(58 cases) and conventional PCI group(58 cases),and the patients of sequel recanalization PCI group were fully absorbed for thrombus before conventional PCI,then compared estoration of their cardiac function of the patients of two groups at once and 2 weeks after PCI procedure,respectively.Meantime to study the effect related-factors for cardiac function by Logistic regression analysis.Results There were significant differences between two groups in RESVmax(P =0.03) 、RESVmin(P = 0.00) 、REFmax(P = 0.00)、 REDVmax(P = 0.01) and the ratio of E/A(P =0.02)(all P＜0.05);it showed that the restoration of cardiac function of sequel recanalization PCI group was faster than that of conventional PCI group.If sequel recanalization PCI served as a variable for predicting REFmax being 50%,the results of logistic regression showed that OR(odds ratio) value was 3.47,95% CI(confidence interval) 1.39-9.75,P =0.04.Among other variables,as was time-to-recanalization(OR =4.59,P =0.01);infarct size(OR =4.59,P=0.01);Kiliip grades(OR = 3.99,P =0.02)and age(OR=2.75,P=0.04).Conclusion The sequel recanalization PCI could be better than conventional PCI for the patients with STEMI in restoration of heart function,but there should be some other effective factors.

Objective To evaluate the effects and safety of uterine artery embolization for uterine leiomyoma. Methods Total of 185 patients with uterine leiomyoma were treated by UAE. They were followed for one to 6 years to observe the changes of leiomyoma size and improvement in clinical symptoms. Ovarian function was evaluated in 44 cases. Results Bilateral embolization of uterine arteries was performed in 185 patients. Follow-up of 1 ～6 years for 292 leiomyoma indicated that one to 9 months after embolization, shrinkage of leiomyoma size was the most significant factor. One year after embolization, leiomyoma sizes decreased a little. Shrinkage of submucous leiomyoma was more significant than that of intratumoral one, and the latter was more significant than subserous one. Shrinkage of leiomyoma with large size ( volume ≥ 150cm~3) was less than that of small one. Menorrhagia, anemia and pressure symptoms were all resolved. There was no significant difference between pre- and post embolization ovarian hormone level. Conclusions The significant reduction in leiomyoma volume and resolution of clinical symptoms confirmed that the treatment validity of symptomatic leiomyomas by UAE. UAE is an effective therapeutic procedure which has no adverse effect on the ovarian function.

Objective To investigate the biological properties of human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs) which were preconditioned with phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor (Vardenfil). Methods hAMSCs were in vitro isolated and cultured, hAMSCs were pre-treated with vardenfil in final concentration of 10 μmol/L. The morphology of Vard-hAMSCs was observed, and the immunological characteristics, proliferative capacity, and ability of anti-oxidative damage of hAMSCs and Vard-hAMSCs were analyzed by flow cytometry. Double labeling immunofluorescent staining was used to count the differences of differential potential between neural cells of hAMSCs and Vard-hAMSCs. Results (1)Flow cytometry revealed that both hAMSCs and Vard-hAMSCs positively expressed CD90、CD105 and CD73, and negatively expressed CD34、CD45、CD11b and HLA-DR. The SPF and PI in Vard-hAMSCs group were (0.57 ± 0.40)% and (2.20 ± 1.60)% respectively, there was no statistical significance compared with hAMSCs group; (2)After 4 hours treated by H2O2, the apoptosis rate in Vard-hAMSCs group were (7.67 ± 0.82)%,which were markedly lower than that in the hAMSCs group and specific blocker group; (3)Under the same induction condition, positive rates of MAP-2 and GFAP in Vard-hAMSCs group were (49.8 ± 6.42)%and (55.2 ± 6.10)% respectively detected by double labeling immunofluorescent staining, which were significantly higher than the control group. Conclusion The strategy that hAMSCs are treated with vandenfil can enrich the ability of anti-oxidative damage and the differential potential for neural cells in a certain time, and the morphology, immunological characteristics, proliferative capacity of Vard-hAMSCs have no significant change. It suggests that pre-treatment with vandenfil may provide a optimized experimental strategey for hAMSCs which were used to treat nervous system disease.

Melanogenesis is a biosynthetic pathway to produce melanin pigment in melanocyte, involving a series of intricate enzymatic and chemical catalyzed reactions. Melanogenesis involves five signaling pathways that converge on microphthalmia-associated transcription factor. In addition, many cytokines, involved in the regulation of melanogenesis, play an important role in the development, proliferation, differentiation and migration of melanocytes. Polyoxometalate can be used as a potential inhibitor of melanin production. Hence, this paper reviews the signaling pathways of melanogenesis and their regulatory mechanism, to apply polyoxometalates in the melanin production pathway, and briefly introduces the regulatory factors of related pathways.

Objective To explore the effects of military stress on memory function in battlefield environment confined intensive training of peace-keeping soldiers.Methods 41 peace-keeping soldiers were chosen as the research objects.They were tested the memory function,respectively after they trained intensely in the domestic and in Sudan for five months.The memory function included verbal memory:WHO-UCLA auditory verbal learning test (immediate recall,the insert test,the short time delay memories,long delayed recall,long delayed recognition,visual memory) using the Rey Ostereitb Complex Figure (graphics copy and graphic delayed recall).Results The peace-keeping soldiers got lower scores in the insert tested(4.59±2.03) and graphics copy(35.85± 0.36) than in the domestic (4.85 ± 2.21,35.71 ± 0.46,P＞ 0.05),but there was no significant difference.They got lower scores in the immediate recall (41.68±9.87),the short time delay memories (9.27±2.77),long delayed recall (9.12±2.99),long delayed recognition (27.56± 1.70),and graphic delayed recall (16.90± 6.16) than those in the domestic(51.68±8.63,11.73±2.15,12.24± 1.96,29.00± 1.43,23.15±7.16,P＜0.01),and the difference was statistically significant.Conclusion The peace-keeping soldiers battlefield environment stress has a certain effect on the soldiers' memory function.

Objective To investigate the clinical presentation,diagnosis,and surgical management of anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor encephalitis.Methods One case of anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis in a previously healthy 17-year-old female related to the development of NMDA receptor autoantibodies triggered by an ovarian teratoma was reported.The related literature was reviewed and the clinical feature was summarized.Results Removal of the ovarian teratoma combined with intravenous immuneglobulin and corticosteroid proved curative with eventual resolution of the paraneoplastic disease process and associated psychiatric symptoms.Conclusion Increasingly,reports of anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis associated with ovarian teratomas,as well as a novel assay to measure these antibodies suggest an etiology for this disease process that may be amenable to prompt surgical excision.

Objective:To summarize the experience and early outcomes of transapical mitral valve-in-valve procedure with J-Valve in patients with bioprostheses degeneration.Methods:The clinical data of 29 patients who underwent mitral transcatheter valve-in-valve implantation with J-Valve from April 2020 to March 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. There were male 16 and female 13 patients with average age (72.0±11.6) years. Patients underwent previous mitral valve replacement with bioprostheses of Hancock Ⅱ in 17, Edwards SAV in 7, Edwards Perimount in 3, Balmedic in 1, Mosaic in 1. The size of mitral bioprostheses included 25 # for 8 patients, 27 # for 17 patients, and 29 # for other 4 patients. The operations were performed in the hybrid operation room. Under X-ray fluoroscopy and TEE monitoring, the retro-preseted J-valve was implanted into the mitral bioprosthetic valve via the intercostal space and apical puncture. Results:One patient was converted urgently to mediate sternotomy, and the transcatheter mitral valve was reset after opening left atrium on cardiopulmonary bypass due to the migration of transcatheter valve. twenty eight patients were successfully completed transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve procedure with technical success achieving in 96.6% . Among the 28 patients who successfully were completed valve-in-valve procedure, 1 died and 27 were discharged in well condition. The mean mitral transvalvular gradient was (7.6±2.2)mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), no death or other major complications occurred during the follow-up.Conclusion:The application of J-Valve interventional valve in patients with bioprosthesis degeneration can achieve favourable early outcomes, even if the patient was replaced with a small bioprosthesis in the previous operation, the hemodynamic effect was still satisfactory.
