Objective To research the clinical efficacy of alprostadil injection in treatment of patients with emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods Eighty-five patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI) were enrolled in this study,and they were randomly divided into treatment group (45 patients) and control group (40 patients).All patients were given 300 mg aspirin and 300 mg clopidogrel before operation,anti-platelet aggregation and long-term hpid regulation were given.On the basisof conventional treatment,0.9％ sodium chloride (NaCl) 100 ml and alprostadil injection 10 μ g were given in treatment group,2 times one day,a total of 14 d.After treatment for 1,6 months,the heart function and systohc function were assessed by echocardiography.High sensitive C reactive protein (hs-CRP),endothehn (ET)-1 and interleukin (IL)-6 were measured with ELISA,nitric oxide (NO) was measured with chromatometry.The basic clinical characteristic,inflammatory markers and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were analyzed during in-hospital and follow-up period between two groups.Results The level of IL-6,hs-CRP,ET-1,NO in two groups had no significant difference before treatment and after treatment for 1 month (P ＞ 0.05).After treatment for 6 months,the level of IL-6,hs-CRP,ET-1,NO in treatment group had significant difference compared with that in control group [(1.04 ± 1.10) ng/L vs.(3.82 ± 1.34) ng/L,(1.5 ±1.2)mg/Lvs.(3.5 ±0.8) mg/L,(62.18 ± 20.22) ng/L vs.(85.56± 16.55) ng/L,(55.25 ± 8.25) μmol/L vs.(46.16 ±9.20) μ mol/L] (P ＜0.05).The level of left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV),left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV),left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in two groups before treatment and after treatment for 1 month had no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).After treatment for 6months,the level of LVESV,LVEDV in treatment group were significandy lower than those in control group [(82.5 ± 20.6) ml vs.(90.5 ± 20.1) ml,(130.5 ± 33.8) ml vs.(144.3 ± 28.6) ml],the level of LVEF was significantly higher than that in control group [(57.8 ±6.3)％ vs.(48.5 ±6.5)％],there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).The mortality rate and the incidence of MACE was 7.5％ (3/40),25.0％ (10/40)in control group,which were significantly higher than those in treatment group [4.4％ (2/45),13.3％ (6/45)],there were significant differences (P ＜0.05).The incidence of heart failure in control group was 22.5％(9/40),which was significantly higher than that in treatment group [11.1％(5/45)],there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Using alprostadil injection for patients with AMI after emergency PCI can prevent left ventricular remodeling,improve left ventricular function,and can reduce the incidence of MACE.Alprostadil injection can reduce the inflammatory reaction in patients with AMI,inhibit catecholamine release,inhibit platelet adhesion and aggregation,and stable plaques,reduce the incidence of MACE.

The ischemia-modified albumin(IMA) forms after the human serum albumin experiences ischmia/reperfusion,which is a novel marker for myocardial ischemia.IMA exhibits a reduced capacity to bind to certain transition metals,such as cobalt.It can be measured by the Albumin Cobalt Binding test in serum.Several clinical researches suggested that IMA is an ideal biomarker for myocardial ischemia and an important assay for diagnosis of acute coronary syndromes.

Objective To study the pathogenesis of anemia in chronic aristolochic acid nephmpathy(CAAN) rats. Methods The hemoglobin(Hb)values of sixty-two male SD rats were assayed to determine its normal range.Among them,24 rats with normal Hb value were randomly divided into 2 groups:model group (MG)in which rats received the extract of Aristololochia manshuriensis Kom (AmK) by gavage,and control group (CG) received tap water only by gavage.Body weisht(BW),Hb,24 h urinary protein excretion(UP)and creatinine clearance (Ccr)of 6 rats in each group were measured before administration and at the end of the 8th week, respeetively.then these rats were sacrificed.The relative area of renal interstitial fibrosis was measured by microscopy.The mRNA expression of erythropoietin (EPO)in kidney tissue Was determined by real-time RT-PCR;protein expression of type I collagen(Coll),aminopeptidase P (APP),hypoxia indHeible factor let and 2α(HIF-1α and HIF-2α)in kidney tissue Was examined by immunohistochemistry staining. Results Hb values of normal rats presented normal distribution. The normal Hb was (155.9±16.5) g/L. Rat anemia was diagnosed when Hb was below 123.6 g/L. There was no difference in all the examination results between CG and MG before administration (P>0.05). Compared with CG, the Hb and Cer in MG were significantly decreased [(121.66±15.68) g/L vs (169.00±12.89) g/L, (0.63±0.13) ml/min vs (1.27±0.18) ml/min, P< 0.01], and the UP in MG was significantly increased at the end of the 8th week [(27.04±9.40) mg/d vs (6.11±0.84) mg/d, P<0.01]; the relative areas of fibrosis and Col l in renal interstitium of MG were significantly enlarged [(12.89±2.33)% vs (0.55±0.10)%, (13.92±2.92)% vs (1.32±0.84)%, P<0.01]; the protein expression of APP and the mRNA expression of EPO in the kidney tissue of MG were significantly down-regulated [(0.55±0.23)% vs (3.77±1.06)%, 0.005±0.001 vs 0.032±0.013, P<0.01]; the protein expression of HIF-lα and HIF-2α in the kidney tissue of MG was significantly up-regulated (2.55±0.16 vs 1.12±0.46, 2.33±0.33 vs 1.15±0.27, P<0.01), at the end of the 8th week. Conclusions The pathogenesis of anemia in CAAN may be due to the decreased production of EPO caused by the destruction of peritubular capillary. The compensatory up-regulation of HIF-lα and HIF-2α expression can not prevent the anemia development.

This paper summarized the nursing experience of one infant with right lower limb ischemia caused by amniotic band syndrome. The nursing key points included:careful observation of the infant condition,exposing the wound,raising the affected limb,wound disinfection,and removing necrotic tissues at the surface skin,applying topical drugs for promoting tissue growth and antibiotics,selecting appropriate dressing to provide suitable environment for tissue regeneration;debridement of inguinal skin,dressing change,assessing pain and providing corresponding care during debridement;infection prevention. After 29 days of treatment and careful nursing care,the skin damage was repaired on the right lower limb,swelling subsided,the necrotic tissues at right inguinal region were completely cleared,granulation tissue was formed,and the infant was discharged smoothly.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of xCT on tumor metastasis in breast cancer cell MDA-MB-231. Methods Wound scratch assay and Transwell assay were performed to evaluate the effect of disruption and knockdown of xCT on cell migration and cell invasion in breast cancer cell MDA-MB-231 .Western Blot and RT-PCR were used to detect the expression levels of autophagy and EMT related markers in breast cancer cell MDA-MB-231 after treatment with sulfasalazine (SASP), an inhibitor of xCT activity and SLC7A11-RNAi.Results Both the scratch assay and the transwell migration assay showed that inhibition of xCT reduced the motility of MDA-MB-231 .The expression level of autophagy related protein LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰwas elevated, the protein level of transcription factor Snail was down-regulated, while the mRNA level of Snail did not change in xCT inhibited MDA-MB-231 cells compared with MDA-MB-231 cells.Epithelial marker E-cadherin was up-regulated but mesenchymal marker Vimentin was down-regulated when xCT was deficient.Con-clusion Our current studies show that xCT is an endogenous regulator of tumor growth and metastasis in MDA -MB-231 and the expression level of xCT determines the phenotypes of MDA-MB-231 cells in invasion and migration in vitro.Inhibition of xCT can activate autophagy , induce the degradation of Snail ,and attenuate the EMT process in highly metastatic MDA-MB-231 cells.

AIM:To discuss the related factors that affected the stability of posterior corneal surface after laser in situ keratomileusis ( LASIK) .
METHODS:About 64 patients (64 eyes) were enrolled. The correlation among the changes in posterior corneal surface 6 month after LASIK, surgery method, corneal flap thickness ( FT ) , ablation thickness ( AT ) , postoperative residual corneal stroma thickness ( RCST ) , preoperative thinnest corneal thickness ( CT ) , flap thickness/preoperative thinnest corneal thickness ( FT/CT ) , ablation thickness/preoperative thinnest corneal thickness ( AT/CT) , postoperative residual corneal stroma thickness/preoperative thinnest corneal thickness ( RCST/CT) , anterior and posterior preoperative corneal height, the difference of the forward shift in posterior corneal surface ( diff value ) of preoperative and preoperative intraocular pressure were analyzed.
RESULTS: The changes of diff value between preoperative and postoperative were related with diopter (r=0.419, P=0.014), AT (r=0.394, P=0.023), AT/CT (r=0.501, P=0.004), Diff value of preoperative (r=0.501, P=0. 004), RCST (r=-0. 385, P=0. 033) and RCST/CT (r=-0. 401, P=0. 025). The changes of height value from posterior corneal surface between preoperative and postoperative were related with diopter (r=0. 520, P=0. 002), AT (r=0.504, P=0. 003), AT/CT (r=0. 442, P=0. 013), Diff value of preoperative (r=0. 624, P=0. 000) and RCST/CT (r=-0. 394, P=0. 028).
CONCLUSION: AT, RCST, AT/CT, RCST/CT and diff value of preoperative should be the key index that predicted the stability of posterior corneal surface after LASIK,the further research will give the range of safety value.
