Objective To review the outcome of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) using left internal thoracic artery grafts in the patients aged over 70 years old.Methods Two hundred and eighty-eight patients aged over 70 years old from January 2009 to January 2014 who underwent CABG were selected.All of the patients were divided into two groups on base of the graft:control group:only saphenous vein graft was used in 138 cases; observation group:the left internal thoracic artery to the left anterior descending artery was used in 150 cases,which also included total arterial grafting,facilitated by the use of the radial artery,right gastroepiploic artery was operated in 7 cases,beside these artery grafts,saphenous vein graft was used to anastomosis with other vessels.Results Operative mortality was 2.9％ (4/138) in control group and 2.0％ (3/150) in observation group,and there was no significance (P ＞ 0.05).The volume of blood drainage was larger in observation group [(796.2 ± 382.4) ml] than that in control group [(512.8 ± 387.5) ml],and there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).At the same time,there was no significant difference in the incidence rate of second thoractomy,malignant arrhythmia,stroke,poor wound healing,and usage of intraaortic balloon counterpulsation between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion It does not increase the mortality and incidence of serious complications using the left internal thoracic artery to the left anterior descending artery in the patients aged over 70 years old during CABG.

Liver metastasis is one of the main causes of treatment failure in colorectal cancer, and the key to improve the efficacy of treatment is to adopt precision therapy. Oligometastatic classification clearly defines the treatment methods and goals for distinguish-ing liver metastases, as well as promotes nonsurgical methods for local treatments. In addition to RAS oncogene, other biomarkers with prognostic and therapeutic predictive values urgently need to be identified. Precision therapy encompasses the entire course of optimal treatment in colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) including the following:optimization of therapy sequence for initial resectable liver metastases, treatment predictive value of KRAS oncogene for liver resection, selection of sensitive subgroups for conversion ther-apy, application of the optimal follow-up strategy, and formulation of individual comprehensive treatment regimens. This review focus-es on the recent progress of precision treatment for CRLM.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of epicardial adipose tissue(EAT) thickness for the recurrence of atrial fibrillation (RAF) after concomitant valve replacement and bipolar radiofrequency ablation.Methods From January 2012 to May 2014,156 patients with permanent atrial fibrillation and organic valvular diseases underwent concomitant valve replacement and successful bipolar radiofrequency ablation in the First People's Hospital of Shangqiu.After 1 year of follow-up,the recurrence of AF was analyzed and the correlation factors were analyzed statistically.Results All patients completed a regular follow-up.During a 12-month follow-up period,RAF was observed in 39 patients (25.0％).Echocardiography-derived regional EAT thickness was significantly greater in RAF patients than that in non-RAF patients((6.9±0.6) mm vs.(5.5±0.7) mm,t=4.649,P＜0.05).The EAT thickness strongly correlated with patients age,body mass index,Ratio of left atrial diameter,mitral diastolic blood flow velocity and early diastolic velocity of mitral annulus,low density lipoprotein-cholesterol and thyroglobulin (r =0.62,0.57,0.68,0.59,0.73,0.76;P ＜ 0.05).Cox multivariable analysis showed that,duration of AF history (95％CI:1.01-1.15,P =0.040),left atrial diameter (95％CI:1.07-1.24,P =0.021) and EAT thickness (95％CI:1.05-1.79,P =0.009) were independent predictors of RAF.Conclusion Echocardiography-derived regional EAT thickness combined with left atrial diameter may serve as effective parameters in identifying patients at the highest risk for RAF.

Objective To explore the effect of psychological resilience and mood on mental health of leftbehind children.Methods Positive and Negative Affect schedule (PANAS),the Resilience Scale for Chinese Adolescent (RSCA) and Mental Health Scale of Middle School Student (MSSMHS) were administrated to 796 left-behind children.Results ①Positive/negative emotions could significantly predict psychological resilience (β=0.875,P＜0.01 ; β=-0.713,P＜0.01).②Psychological resilience had significantly negatively forecast mental health (β=-0.759,P＜0.01).③The relationship between negative affect and mental health was partially mediated by psychological resilience (P＜0.01).The relationship between positive affect and mental health was completely mediated by psychological resilience.Conclusion Psychological resilience plays an important role in the relationship between positive/negative emotions and mental health.Positive affect can improve mental health of left-behind children through psychological resilience.

AIM: To investigate the differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into neuron-like cells induced by the supernatant of rat C6 glloma cells. METHODS: The heparin anticoagulant human bone marrow sampling was performed and human MSCs were separated flom human bone marrow using Percoll gradient method, followed by trypsinization and passage culture. When the MSCs at 4-6 passages reached a confluence of 90%, they were inoculated into a 24-well culture plate at a density of 2×103 per well. Cells were then divided into induction group and control group. In the induction group, C6 glioma cells were induced by the complete culture medium supplemented with 50% C6 glloma ceils supernatant (L-DMEM containing 0.1 fetal bovine serum), and half of the culture medium as replenished every 2 days. In the control group, cells were cultured in the complete culture medium. Both groups were treated 3 days and the expression of neuron-specific marker was monitored with S-P immunocytochemical stain. RESULTS: After an induction period of 24 hours, the differentiated MSCs showed typical neuron-like appearance, while the controlled cells exhibited no obvious alters. After 3 days of the induction, the neuron specific enola,se-positive rate of the cells in the induction was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.01). The neurofilament protein-positive rate of cells in the induction group was (44.2±2.4)%, and the control group cells did not express neurofilament protein. Typical glial astrocyte marker glial fibrillary acidic protein was negatively expressed in both groups. CONCLUSION: Differentiation of MSCs into neuron-like cells can be induced by the supematant of rat C6 glioma cells in vitro.

Objective:To determine the prevalence of Salmonella paratyphi C phage ( SPC-P1 ) in dif-ferent Salmonella serovars and to identify the integration sites in host genome. Methods: Based on the complete genome of SPC-P1 in S. paratyphi C RKS4594, 6 pairs of primers were designed and used to amplify the fragments of SPC-P1 in 11 S. typhi, 11 S. paratyphi A, 12 S. paratyphi B and 23 S. para-typhi C strains. At the same time, 100 complete genomes of Salmonella including 20 serovars available in National Center for Biotechnology Information ( NCBI) database were downloaded and aligned by Mauve 2. 3. 1 to determine the prevalence of SPC-P1 in these serovars. Primers were designed according to the integration sites of SPC-P1 in the genome of RKS4594 , and used to amplify ten strains having SPC-P1 in the genome. The PCR products were sequenced to investigate the integration sites of SPC-P1. Results:SPC-P1 was widely distributed in S. paratyphi C genome. In the study, 14 strains had all 6 fragments and 2 strains had 3-5 fragments. All the amplified fragments showed expected sizes. In contrast, in the ge-nomes of S. typhi, S. paratyphi A and S. paratyphi B, no or only 1-2 fragments could be amplified, and the sizes were smaller than expected. The results from Mauve showed that only in the genome of S. choleraesuis, which was a close relative of S. paratyphi C, there existed an almost complete genome of SPC-P1. The insertion site of SPC-P1 in all the ten S. paratyphi C strains tested was between pgtE and yfdC genes. Conclusion:SPC-P1 is a unique virulence factor of S. paratyphi C. It may play roles in the host range and pathogenicity of S. paratyphi C.
