Objective To observe and explore the value of combined detection of serum BNP and TnI in patients with acute heart failure(AHF). Methods 60 AHF patients from February 2015 to April 2016 were selected as observation group, and divided into Level III group(n=32) and Level IV group(n=28) according to NYHA classification;60 healthy patients at the same period were selected as control group.BNP and TnI levels were detected by chemiluminescence in each group, and were compared.Results BNP and TnI of observation group were(2624.4 ±378.6) ng/mL and(0.87 ± 0.22) ng/mL, while in control group were(72.4 ±20.2) ng/mL and(0.13 ±0.02) ng/mL, the differences were significant(P<0.05);BNP and TnI in level III group before treatment were significantly lower than grade IV group(P<0.05), after treatment, the level of BNP and III in group IV and group TnI were significantly lower(P<0.05), and the levels of BNP and TnI were significantly lower than those in III group after treatment(P<0.05). Conclusion BNP combine with TnI levels monitoring play an important role in AHF diagnosis and prognosis evaluation, can help to guide the treatment of AHF.

Objective:To identify the function of the 5′-flank upstream regulation region of human CD226 gene.Methods:The upstream regulation region of CD226 was cloned by PCR and ligated into pGL3 vector. Then the vector was transfected into Jurkat cell and luciferase activity was detected after 48 h culture.Results:CD226 gene may have two promoters, P1 and P2,which were located at the region of -843--319 bp and +1-+181 bp respectively, and PMA can up-regulate P1 while down-regulate P2. Both P1 and P2 can be up-regulated by A23187, especially P2.Conclusion:CD226 gene may have two promoters, and PMA and A23187 can regulate CD226 promoter activity in the similar pattern of protein level.

Objective　To evaluate the value of CT virtual gastroscopy (CTVE) in clinical applications. Methods　52 patients (65 foci of stomach) were examined by CTVE combined with 2D CT, gastrointestinal series (GI) and fibric gastroscopy (FG). The accurate ratio in quantitative, locating, qualitative and staging diagnoses was compared. Results　CTVE demonstrated the diameter of 0.3 cm foci in stomach. The accurate ratio in quantitative, locating and qualitative diagnoses with combination of CT and CTVE was higher than that of GI (P<0.001 ) but lower that of FG (P>0.05); In staging, CTVE was better than GI and FG. Conclusion　CTVE is a complementary gastric examination, which can replace GI in the diagnosis of common physical gastrical diseases.

OBJECTIVE To understand the clinical distribution and drug resistance of Enterococcus to provide evidence for the rational use of antibiotics. METHODS The Enterococcus isolated form clinic from Jan 2006 to Dec 2007 and the sensitivity to 13 kinds of antibiotics were tested by K-B method. RESULTS All of 122 strains of Enterococcus were isolated which included 76 strains of E.faecalis(62.3%),29 strains of E.faecium(23.8%) and 17 strains of other enterococcus(13.9%).Most enterococcus were detected from vaginal secretion,urine,drainage fluid,cervical secretion and throat swab.Drug sensitivity test showed that the sensitivity to vancomycin and teicoplanin was high while the resistance to rifampicin,erythromycin,tetracycline and ciprofloxacin was the highest,and the total resistance rate of E.faecium was higher than E.faecalis. CONCLUSIONS The detection rate and resistance rate of Enterococcus present a rising trend,which should be paid for more attention by clinic.Bateria cultivation is necessary for suspected enterococcus infection and the drugs selected according to sensitivity result to improve the curative effect.

Objective To evaluate the indications,method and prognosis of emergent hepateetomy and tran-scatheter arterial embolization(TAE) for spontaneous rupture of primary liver carcinoma(PLC). Methods Clinical data of 85 cases with PLC were analyzed. Patients were divided into four groups: the group of delayed hepatectomy (group A,n=30);the group of emergent transcatheter arterial embolization (group B,n=22);the group of emer-gent hepatectomy (group C, n=18) and the group of medical treatment (group D, n=15). The hemostasis achieve-ment ratio, operative complications, perioperative morbidity, 1-year and 3-year survival rates among the four groups were compared. Results In group A and B, celiac urteriogram in 52 cases showed that extravasation of contrast media happened in 14 cases (26.9%). The hemostasis achievement ratio was 100% (30/30, 22/22, 18/18) in group A,B and C,respectively,which was remarkably higher than that in group D(40%,6/15) (P<0.05);The in-hospital fatality was 0% (0/30),3.8% (2/52) and 16.7% (3/18),which was lower than that of group D(80.0%, 12/15) (P<0.01). The 1-year survival rate was 76.7% and 3-year survival rate of group A was 53.3%, which was higher than that of group B (45.5 % and 31.8 %) and group C (44.4% and 33.3 %) (P<0.05). The cases in group D did not survive one year(P<0.01). Conclusions Emergent hepatectomy and transcatheter arterial emboli-zation are safe and feasible for spontaneous rupture of primary hepatocellular carcinoma. For those with resectable ca-ses,surgical resection is the first choice after transcatheter arterial embolization.

The dialysis for three species of poplar stems apoplast was obtained by microdialysis method, and then the concentration of Na+, K+, Ca2+ in the dialysis sample was directly measured by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry ( GF-AAS) . The flow rate of perfusate was 1μL/min and the cut-off molecular weight of probe was 30 kDa. The real-time and non-destructive test technique established for the detection of ion concentration could be applied in research of poplar biochemical physiology. The recovery of the proposed method was 95. 8%-103. 1%. The contents of sodium ion in Populus wutunensis, Populus simonii and Salix matsudana were 1034-1156 μg/L, 1493-1611 μg/L and 1586-1703 μg/L; potassium ion were 1012-1237 μg/L, 941-964 μg/L and 1095-1201 μg/L; calcium ion were 4976-5237 μg/L, 4786-5042 μg/L and 5893-6142 μg/L. The method could provide reliable data for the study of ion concentration changes of plant response to adapt to all kinds of external environment.

Objective:To review the treatment of life threatening head and neck space infection.Methods:Retrospective was con-ducted to analyse the patient characterization,signs and symptoms at the time of presentation,presence of concomitant systemic co-morbidities,treatment,prognosis and bacteriology.Results:32 patients from 2007.01 to 2013.01(mean age was 57.71 years)were included.The cases were increased year by year.1 1 (34.37%)patients had breathing difficulty requiring tracheostomy and 19 (59.3%)had concomitant systemic comorbidities.23 cases recovered completely,8 with severe mediastinal infection were trans-ferred to the department of thoracic surgery or the department of respiratory medicine.1 patient died.Pus submission rate was 96.87%,the bacteria detection rate was 37.50%.Pus culture showed mixed infection dominated by streptococci.Staphylococcus au-reus,pseudomonas aeruginosa,enterococcus faecalis,prevotella and neisseria were detected.Conclusion:Annually incidence of life threatening head and neck space infection is increasing.Treatment of the infection should include:①Ensuring the airway patency;②Surgical incision and drainage as early as possible;③ Hypoglycemic control,maintenance of hemodynamic,nutritional support,and multi-disciplinary approach are the key points in the management of such infections;④ Systemic antibiotics.

Objective To explore any correlation between gait asymmetry and the balance of hemiplegic stroke survivors.Methods Thirty patients with hemiplegia caused by stroke but who could walk more than 10 metres independently were recruited as the experimental group; 30 age-matched healthy elderly people served as the control group.An AL-600 gait analyzer was used to quantify the spatial and temporal gait parameters of all subjects.Gait asymmetry ratios were calculated.The 30 stroke patients were also assessed with the Berg balance scale (BBS).Two independent sample t-tests were used to compare the step length asymmetry (SLA),swing time asymmetry (SWTA) and STA (stance time asymmetry) ratios for the two groups and their average step widths.Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated relating the SLA,SWTA,STA,step width and BBS results.Results Among the experimental group,swing time and step length on the affected side were significantly different from the unaffected side,and stance time on the affected side was significantly shorter.The control group showed no such significant differences.All of the experimental group's average asymmetry ratios were significantly greater than those of the control group,as was their step width.Step width and BBS score were negative correlated,but step width was positively correlated with the step length and swing time asymmetry ratios.BBS scores were negatively correlated with the step length and swing time asymmetry ratios.Stance time asymmetry and step width showed no significant correlation with the BBS scores.Conclusion The gait of hemiplegic stroke patients is both spatially and temporally asymmetric,and a certain correlation exists between the degree of asymmetry and balance function.
