Objective To observe endothelial and fibrinolytic functions of atrial fibrillation(AF)dogs induced by chronic rapid atrial pacing and effects of cilazapril on it and to investigate the mechanism of thrombogenesis in AF.Methods From January to August of 2004,16 dogs were randomly divided into control group(n=8)and cilazapril group(n=8).All dogs were paced at 400 bpm for 6 weeks by AOO pacemaker.The dogs in cilazapril group received cilazapril(1mg?kg-1?d-1)from 1week before pacing to 6 weeks after pacing.Plasma angiotensinⅡ(AngⅡ),von Willebrand factor(vWF),tissue-type plasminogen activator(t-PA)and plasminogen activator inhibitors-1(PAI-1)level were measured before and after rapid pacing respectively.Results After rapid atrial pacing,plasma AngⅡ,vWF,t-PA and PAI-1 level increased significantly in control group dogs(AngⅡ:(349.9?28.3)ng/L vs(198.4?19.4)ng/L,P

In order to quickly and accurately identify the onset and offset of the QRS complex in electrocardiogram (ECG) signal with different forms, a triple local transform method was employed in the present study to detect the suspected onset and offset points of QRS. The accurate onset and offset points of QRS complexes were selected according to the rules drawn by the trial process based on the characteristics of angle and amplitude constituted within these suspected points. The method makes full advantage of the angle and amplitude characteristics of the QRS complex, by which the results can be acquired with some simple arithmetic quickly, accurately and adaptively. The method was investigated with data from the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database and satisfactory results were obtained.

Purpose To investigate the prognostic significance of NQO1 protein expression in colorectal carcinoma ( CRC) patients. Methods 192 cases of primary CRC, 28 of colonic dysplasia, and 44 of adjacent non-tumor tissues were selected for immunohisto-chemical staining of NQO1 protein. Correlation between NQO1 overexpression and clinicopathologic characteristics, and the survival rates were calculated by the statistical methods. Results The strongly positive rate of NQO1 protein in CRC was significantly higher than that in gastric dysplasia and adjacent non-tumor tissues (P<0. 01, respectively). NQO1 high-expression rate was positively cor-related with differentiation, serosal invasion, lymph node metastasis, and clinical stage (P <0. 05, respectively). Survival curve showed that the disease-free survival and 5-year survival rates of the patients with high NQO1 expression were obviously shorter than those of patients with low NQO1 expression (P<0. 001, respectively). Further analysis showed that, high expression of NQO1 predic-ted the lower disease-free survival and 5-year survival rates in late-stage patients (P<0. 01, respectively). Importantly, NQO1 was an independent risk factor for the prognosis of CRC using Cox proportional hazards regression model ( HR: 1. 398,95%CI: 1. 011 ~1. 934, P=0. 043). Conclusions Detection of NQO1 protein expression in CRC has an important clinical significance, and it is ex-pected to become a new biomarker for CRC.

Objective To investigate the short-cycle repeated transurethral resection ( Re-TURBT) combined pirarubicin treatment of T2 muscle invasive bladder tumor efficacy and safety.Methods From October 2010 to December 2013, 56 clinically diagnosed cases of bladder cancer were divided into two groups;the experimental group was taken a short-cycle repeat transurethral resection surgery, and the con-trol group taken along open surgery to remove the tumor and its surrounding 2cm bladder tissue, postopera-tive patients were given pirarubicin infusion therapy.Results Each patient completed the trial.For the ex-perimental group, blood loss and operative time was significantly lower than the control group ( P <0.05). For experimental group after 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months, maximum bladder capacity ( MBC) and patient perception of bladder condition ( PPBC) were significantly higher than control group ( P <0.05 ) . For experimental group after 3 months and 6 months, maximum urinary flow rate ( Qmax) was significantly higher than control group ( P <0.05) , but no significant difference between two groups at 12 months.The incidence of adverse events, vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF) , and a total recurrence rate showed no significant difference ( P >0.05).For experimental group, bladder perforation in 1 case, 1 case was forced to open surgery, the incidence rate was about 6.7%.Conclusions The short-cycle repeated trans-urethral resection combined pirarubicin treatment of T2 invasive bladder tumor was simple, effective and se-curity.

Methods Thirty-six patients with the recurrence cervical lymphnode of head and neck tumor after radiotherapy (17 patients) or radiotherapy plus neck dissection (19 patients) were treated with 125I seed implantation guided by ultrasound or CT under local anesthesia. The median number of seeds was 27( range from 3 to 78 ). Postoperative quality evaluation were routinely obtained for all patients. The actuarial D90 ranged from 90-160 Gy (median, 130 Gy). Results The follow-up rate was 100%. The number of the patients who were followed up over 1-and 2-year were 11 and 3. The overall response rate was 81%. The 1-and 2-year over local control rates, over survival rates were 69% and 35%, 50% and 22%, respectively.The 1-and 2-year local control rates in patients with recurrence node after radiotherapy plus neck dissection were 72% and 54%, while those were 67% and 50% in patients with recurrence node after radiotherapy,respectively (χ2=00,P=0.965). The 1-and 2-year survival rates in two groups were 48%, 13% , and 51%, 39%, respectively (χ2=0.17, P=0.676). Conclusions 125I seed implantation is a safe,minimal invasive with low morbidity and high efficacy salvage treatment method for cervical lymph node recurrence of head and neck tumor after radiotherapy with or without neck dissection.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of CT- and bronchoscopy-guided 125I seed implantation in the treatment of central lung cancer complicated with atelectasis. Methods:Retrospective analysis was conducted on twenty-nine patients who were treated from May 2016 to Oct 2019 in the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University for central non-small-cell lung carcinoma complicated with pulmonary atelectasis that was inoperable due to medical reasons. 125I seeds were implanted into the trachea under the guidance of bronchoscopy first.The 125I seeds were then implanted into the hilum of the lungs by percutaneous puncture under the guidance of the CT and template.The seed activity was 18.5-29.6 MBq, and the prescription dose was 120 Gy.TPS planning and quality verification were performed before and after the operations.The rate of atelectasis recanalization, the satisfactory rate of dose verification, the improvement of dyspnea index, the survival time, and the adverse events during and after operation were observed. Results:All 29 patients with lung cancer complicated with atelectasis successfully completed the seed implantation, and the satisfactory rate of quality verification was 93.1%.The rate of atelectasis recanalization at 2, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months was 93.1%, 89.7%, 78.6%, 76.2%, and 60%, respectively.Their dyspnea and anoxia symptoms were significantly relieved in 5-28 months after treatment.The results showed that the patients′ dyspnea index was 2.8-0.8 before treatment and 1.4-0.9 after treatment.The median follow-up period was 20 months and median survival was 21 months.Adverse events associated with the radiation therapy included pneumothorax, hemoptysis, cough, fever, and particle displacement.No level-3 or more serious adverse events occurred.Conclusions:The CT- and bronchoscopy-guided 125I seed implantation is a safe and effective therapy option for the treatment of central non-small-cell lung carcinoma associated with atelectasis.It contributes to a high rate of local recanalization, and can rapidly improve clinical conditions and quality of life of the patients with few adverse reactions.
