Objective To evaluate the change of left ventricular(LV) function by real-time three dimensional echocardiography(RT-3DE) and to explore the clinical value of change of serum adiponectin level in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS).Methods One hundred and twenty patients were divided into MS group and control group according to the diagnostic standard of the nternational Diabetes Federation.Transthorasic 2D ultrasound and RT-3DE examination were performed in all study objects, and serum adiponectin levels were measured.Results Parameter index [including Tmsv16-SD, Tmsv12-SD,Tmsv16- Dif, Tmsv12-Dif, Tmsv16-SD (％), Tmsv 12-SD (％), Tmsv16-Dif (％), Tmsv12-Dif (％)] of 17segment time to minimal systolic volume in MS group was more than that in control group (all P ＜0.05).Some regional systolic index of LV and serum adiponectin level were less than that in control group (all P ＜0.05).Compared with the control group, E/E' was lower (P ＜ 0.05).There were significant relations between serum adiponectin level and E/A of mitral valves, E'/A' of mitral annulus and E/E'(r = 0.368,0.493,and -0.347 respectively, P ＜0.05).Conclusions RT-3DE can rapidly evaluate LV systolic and diastolic synchrony in MS patients.E/E' show an excellent correlation with serum adiponectin level,and it may be a new promising method for routine evaluation of LV diastolic function.

s: The horse mushroom (Agaricus arvensis Schaeff ex Fr.) is one of most excellent edible mushroom,and was cultivated in world at resent year.But up to now,the breeding systems and life-cycle of horse mushroom has been poorly know.In this study,the random amplified polymorphic DNA was employed to analyse the mating reaction between self-fertile homokaryonic isolates by paired.The results demonstrated: (1) the mating reaction happened and the heterokaryonic offspring formed when the intercompatible self-fertile homokaryonic isolates were paired;(2) perhaps the horse mushroom is possessed of double breeding systems-homothallism and heterothallism;(3) RAPD is very effective method for verifying artificially synthesized heterokaryons and monitoring the transmission of genetic loci in mating of fungi.

The article introduces the pathogenesis of genetic and acquired thrombophilia and elucidates the relationships among thrombophilia, pediatric stroke, adult ischemic stroke and cerebral venous thrombosis. Meanwhile, it briefly introduces the relationships between acquired thrombophilia and cerebrovascular diseases.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational allocation of earth quake medical rescue drugs. METHODS:The number and types of drugs used by Chinese government medical detachment in Nepal earthquake in 2015 were analyzed statistical-ly. RESULTS:Top three kinds of drugs were antipyretic analgesics,Chinese patent medicine for activating meridians to stop pain and antihypertensive drugs;among which,Yunnan baiyao capsule,Ibuprofer sustained release tablet,Nifedipine sustained release tablet were more used;main dosage form was oral preparation,followed by external application and topical preparation. CONCLU-SIONS:Foreign aid relief teams can foresee the quantity and type of rescue drugs depending on station sanitary conditions,medica-tion habits,the characteristics of patients to guarantee the medical detachment work and avoid medical resources waste.

Has 80% medical trouble dispute and the medical trouble communication in the modern medical trouble dispute does not arrive related,Then 20% case and the medical technology concern.Obviously communicates in the solution medicine trouble relations is playing the very important role.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of reduced glutathione in the treatment of drug-induced liver disease. METHODS: Literatures were retrieved from PubMed, Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CBM, VIP, CNKI databases by computer and from relevant Chinese medical journals by hand. Trial selection, quality evaluation and information extraction were performed according to including and excluding criteria. Meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.0 software. RESULTS: The meta-analysis of 13 included RCTs showed that total effective rate, ALT and total bilirubin in trial group were significantly different from control group(P

Objective To study the changes of the myocardial cell apoptosis in myocardial infarction of rabbits. Methods The model of rabbit with myocardial infarction was established.HE staining,TUNEL staining, immunohistro-chemistry staining, ultrathin section for electron microscope and DNA electronic gel phorensis were performed in samples of ischemia or infarction in different times.The position of apoptotic myocytes in different phases of ischemia were observed by light microscope and electronic microscope. Results After 30 minutes to 4 weeks ischemia.there were a few TUNEL positive nucleus of myocytes in the margin area of myocardial infarction;HE staining-found typical expressions of apoptosis,such as chromosome conglomeration,chromosome gathered at the edge or chromosome aggregation,dark-stained nucleus,cell shrinkage,were obvious in 4-8 hours.A lot of positive nucleus of myocytes stained by TUNEL were found in the early stages of myocardial ischemia in myocardial infarction.gradually ascended and then became hardly visible from 8 hours to 3 days.Nucleus swelling,karyorrhexis and karyolysis were found in the area of myocardial infarction.then cells were broken.DNA agarose electrophoresis found DNA fragment of most myocytes in 30 minutes of ischemia,just a few cardiocytes decomposed to the big segments.At 4hours of ischemia the most cardiocytes decomposed to big segments,and there were a blurry"ladder"in DNA strand breaks from 8 hours to 1 day.It showed that apoptotic cardiocytes existed in the margin area of myocadial infarction. Conclusions There are cardiocytes apoptosis in the margin area of infarction from 30 minutes to 4 weeks after myocardial ischemia.Maybe it relates to the reperfusion caused by collateralization establishment or infiltration from circumference.

BACKGROUND:It has been known that there exists a close relationship between leptin and obesity.Then,how are serum leptin and insulin related to obesity-related hypertension(ORH)? OBJECTIVE:To study the changes of serum leptin and insulin in elderly men with ORH,and investigate the relationship between leptin resistance and ORH in elderly men. DESIGN: Retrospective controlled study based on diagnosis. SETTINGS:The Department of Neurology and the Department of Nuclear Medicine,Affiliated Union Hospital of Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology. PARTICIPANTS: Altogether 62 elderly male inpatients or outpatients aged from 60 to 82 years in the Affiliated Union Hospital of Tongji Medical College from October 2001 to June 2002 were selected.The diagnosis of hypertension was based on the diagnostic criteria established by the WHO in 1999:systolic blood pressure(SBP) ≥ 140 mm Hg(1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa) and(or) diastolic blood pressure(DBP) ≥ 90 mm Hg. INTERVENTIONS:The content of serum leptin and insulin in 41 hypertensive and 21 normotensive elderly men was determined by the method of radioimmunoassay. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Blood pressure,body mass index (BMI),serum leptin and insulin level. RESULTS:The content of serum leptin and insulin in the hypertensive obese men were increased significantly by 1.8 μ g/L and 2.7 mIU/L,respectively,as compared with that in the normotensives (t=2.212,2.395,P< 0.01). The level of serum leptin and insulin in the ORH patients was increased by 2.7 μ g/L and 4.7 mIU/L,respectively,as compared with that of the normotensives with significant differences (t=3.348,5.113,all P< 0.001). The level of serum leptin in the hypertensive patients older than 70 years was significantly increased by 1.7 μ g/L compared with that of those aged 60 to 70 years(t=2.767,P< 0.05). CONCLUSION:Resistance to leptin and insulin exists in obesity-related hypertension of elderly men and leptin is closely associated with obesity-related hypertension.

In order to increase the yield and quality of the medicinal plant and enhance the competitive power of industry of medicinal plant in our country, this paper analyzed the status, problem and countermeasure of the tissue culture of medicinal plant on large scale. Although the biotechnology is one of the most efficient and promising means in production of medicinal plant, it still has problems such as stability of the material, safety of the transgenic medicinal plant and optimization of cultured condition. Establishing perfect evaluation system according to the characteristic of the medicinal plant is the key measures to assure the sustainable development of the tissue culture of medicinal plant on large scale.
