Objective To determine the relationship between angiotensin converting enzyme gene polymorphism and ? myosin heavy chain gene and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) among people of Han nationality in Liaoning province. Methods The insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism of ACE gene was detected by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 43 patients with DCM and 53 normal controls. The exons 13,14 of cardiac ?-MHC gene from 43 patients and 53 controls were amplified restrictively by using PCR. The amplified products of PCR were digested by restrictive en-donuclease DdeⅠ and NlaⅢ to identify the mutations at No. 8848 and 9124 nucleotide of ?-MHC gene. Results The frequency of ACE DD genotype and the frequency of the allele D was remarkably higher in individuals with DCM than those in normal control people ( P

Almost 3% of newborns are diagnosed as small for gestational age(SGA)worldwide.Born SGA is one of the important causes of perinatal morbidity and mortality,and is also associated with metabolic diseases in adulthood.Low birth weight by itself is insufficient to characterize growth restriction,as it does not include information about the neonate’s body proportionality.Depending on the origin,timing and severity of in-sult,small for gestational age infants are classified into two types:proportionate or symmetric growth restriction (SGR)and disproportionate or asymmetric growth restriction(AGR).There may be differences in physical and neurological development of these two types.This study compares three classification indexes,and to find differ-ences in postnatal growth of these two types.

Objective To understand the distribution of overweight and obesity in 0-5 years old children who were born small for gestational age ( SGA) in Shanghai through a cross-sectional investigation. Methods All resident children aged 0-5 years were included, covering all 18 districts in Shanghai. Health-check cards were prepared for SGA children. The check-up included weight,length/height and head circumference. Body mass index ( BMI) was used to evaluate the overweight and obesity according to the standard of World Health Organization ( WHO) . Results This study investigated 728 602 children aged 0-5 years in Shanghai,and ultimately 23 871 of them were defined as SGA,a-mong whom 9 805(41. 4%) were boys and 14 066(58. 9%) were girls. The BMI of SGA children were higher than that of appropriate for gestational age( AGA) from 4 to 18 months,while for the rest of the time,they were basically the same. There was no difference in changing tendency of BMI between SGA children and those AGA children. The distri-bution of overweight and obesity according to the standard of WHO in SGA boys among different ages was 7. 7% to 20. 7%, and 15. 7% in average;the distribution of SGA girls among different ages was 5. 9% to 18. 3%,and 12. 9% in average. The proportion of overweight at the age of 4-18 months was significantly higher than that of other ages. There was no correlation between overweight at 0-2 years old and overweight at the age of 5(P>0. 05). Conclusions Com-pared with SGA girls,overweight and obesity in SGA boys were more serious. The age of 4-18 months were the period of high incidence of overweight. There was no correlation between overweight at 0-2 years old and overweight at the age of 5.

Objective To study the relationship between the apolipoprotein B(apo B) gene polymorphism and mycoardial infarction.Methods Two polymorphic sites of the apo B gene,Xba1 and Msp1 were examined by PCR in a sample of 65 patients with myocardial infarction(MI) and 60 healthy individuals selected from a population of the chinese Han nationality.Results The frequency of X+allele(presence of Xba1 cutting site)in MI cases was significantly higher than that in controls(P

Objective:To investigate the change of apoptosis-associated genes in human lung adenocarcinoma cell lines A549/DDP cells,which were induced by the recombinant human interleukin-24(rhIL-24) combined with Cisplatin (DDP). Methods: Six genes expression level by GeXP genetic analysis system at the same time,after rhIL-24,DDP and rhIL-24+DDP were used to intervene in A549/DDP cells. Results:rhIL-24 could induce Bax gene,Caspase3 gene and Rb gene transcription up regulation;Bcl-2 gene and survivin gene transcription down regulation. But no regular change in the genes expression level of P53. Bax,Survivin and Rb were more obviously changed after rhIL-24 combined with DDP. Conclusion: RhIL-24 can induce apoptosis of A549/DDP cells through upregulated the genes expression level of Bax,Caspase3,Rb and down regulated of Bcl-2,Survivin.

With the public hospitals expanding,the nurses at age of marriage or bearing are enrolled and account for large part of all health care workers in China.A significant percentage of nurses in the period of pregnancy or lactation,especially abortion and sterility,deteriorate the shortage of nursing human resources and the nurses' health.It is essential to cope with the matter in order to maintain the nurses and contribute to the professional development.In this paper,we review the human resource management of the nurses during the periods at home and abroad from the human resources,occupational protection and management approaches,which is contributed to supplement the human resource.

As one of the important factors that impact the life of quality to the elderly,visual impairment has become a research highlight in developed countries.And some related results have been found out.It is in the primary stage of establishing the elderly community extending service system in China.Based on this background,literature about the impact of visual impairment on quality of life of the residential setting elderly and related interventions were reviewed.By drawing the experience from developed countries,we aim to innovate perfect interventions,improve the quality of life,avoid unexpected events such as fall and medication mistakes.

Objective To investigate the effect of plasmid pEGFP- hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)-C1 on rat acute ischemia of hindlimb.Methods The eukaryotic expressed plasmid pEGFPHGF-C1 carrying human HGF cDNA was constructed.The transfection efficiency and the expression level of HGF were evaluated by transfecting pEGFP-HGF-C1 into primary rat skeletal muscle cells.Ligation-induced ischemia of femoral artery of one hindlimb in Wistar rats was performed.The plasmids (200 μg/500 μl) were injected once directly into the ischemic limb muscle (5 sites around ligation position) immediately after ligation.HGF expression was detected in the muscle tissue of rats on days 3,6 and 9 by immunochemical stain and Western blot.At day 24,the muscles were removed and stained with CD31 to assess histologically the capillary formation.Results The primary rat skeletal muscle cells could be transfected 0efficiently with pEGFP-HGF-C1 using LipofectamineTM2000 (0.8％),and secreted HGF which peak concentration was (5402.0±227.9) ng/L at 4 d.HGF expression was detected clearly in muscle tissue on days 3,6,9 in pEGFP-HGF-C1 groups.Western blot semi-quantitied analysis showed the levels of HGF expression were higher than control groups on days 3,6,9(P＜0.05).A significant increase in capillary density was found in rats transfected with human HGF(10.81±2.35) as compared with sham group (6.11±0.90) and control group (5.45±0.90) at 24 d(P＜0.01).Conclusions Intramuscular injection of naked human HGF plasmid may induce therapeutic angiogenesis in rat ischemic hindlimb models,as potential therapy for peripheral arterial disease.

Objective To assess the value and feasibility of 64-slice spiral CT in diagnosis of coronary artery aneurysm in the follow-up of young children with previous Kawasaki disease. Methods Twelve boys (mean age 5.1 years) for follow-up (ranged 1.1 to 5.1 years) with known Kawasaki disease and coronary artery aneurysms underwent coronary CT angiography using 64-slice spiral CT.The number,location,shape and size of each coronary artery aneurysm were recorded and compared with those of echocardiography performed simutaneously. Results A total of 30 coronary artery aneurysms were identified with mean diameter of(7.5±3.8) mm,and mean maximum length of (12.4±9.1) mm.10 aneurysms were small in size,7 aneurysms were medium in size and 13 were giant aneurysms.Fourteen aneurysms were saccular,and the remaining 16 were fusiform. Among the aneurysms in left coronary artery,7 of them were located in the main branch,9 were located in the proximal segment of the anterior descending branch,4 were located at the middle segment of the anterior descending branch,and 2 were located in the circumflex branch.Among the aneurysms in right coronary artery,6 of them were located in the proximal segment,9 were located in the middle segment,and 4 were located at the distal segment.Nine of the aneurysms involved 2 segments of the coronary arteries,and one involved 3 segments.Six stenotic segments were found. Calcification was found in 5 aneurysms and 3 of them had thrombosis. Echocardiography failed to detect 8 aneurysms of small size and located in the middle or distal segments of the coronary arterys.Conclusion The 64-slice CT angiography proved valuable for monitoring young children with Kawasakidisease.

Objective:To elucidate the characterization of CD8+T cell in H1N1 influenza vaccine for children.Methods:PBMCs were isolated from 31 children aged from 3 to 6 years old who had accepted H 1N1 influenza vaccine during December 2009 to January 2010.The lymphocytes were joined with the H 1N1 influenza vaccine as experimental group and cultured .The experiment set without vaccine group as control group .At last we detected the surface molecules by FCM .The CCK-8 assay was added to detecting cellular proliferation and cellular proliferation index were detected by CCK-8.Results: CD8+T cells of PBMC in the two groups were 13.41%and 9.41%,P>0.05.CD8+CD45RAA+naive T cells in the two groups were up to more than 80%,P>0.05.The proportion of CD8+CD45ROA+memory T cells in two groups were up to 17%-19%,P>0.05.Two subsets of CD8+CD45ROA+memory T cells :CCR7+and CD62L+single positive memory T cell subsets in the experimental group were significantly lower than that of the control group,P<0.05.The CCK-8 assay was added to detect cellular proliferation .Only 51.16% of which cellular proliferation index was greater than 0.8,with none was greater than 1 in this study.Conclusion:This study showed that the CD4+T cells were low-level,naive T cells (CD8+CD45RAA+)were higher,with antigen stimulation and response.H1N1 vaccination specific memory T cells were few in number , specific memory T cell subsets were diversity , control memory cells were the main phenotypic characteristics .Cellular proliferation index showed that the proliferation of specific CD 8+T cells vaccine was poor .
