Objective To explore the effects of electrical stimulation below the contraction threshold on apoptosis and the expression of caspase-3 in cardiomyocytes after myocardial infarction in rats.Methods Thirty-two rats were randomly divided into 4 groups:a sham-operated group,a myocardial infarction group,an ischemic electrical stimulation group and a non-ischemic electrical stimulation group.TdT-mediated X-dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL)was used to investigate apoptosis of cardiomyocytes.Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RTPCR)and immunohistochemical techniques were used to detect the expression of caspase-3.Results ①Compared with the sham-operated group,the amount of apoptotic cardiomyocytes increased significantly in the two electrical stimulation groups and the ischemic myocardium group.Compared with the ischemic myocardium group,apoptotic cardiomyocytes decreased significantly in the two electrical stimulation groups.There was no significant difference between the two electrical stimulation groups.②Compared with the sham-operated group,in the ischemic myocardium group and the two electrical stimulation groups,expression of caspase-3 increased significantly.Compared with the ischemic myocardium group,expression of caspase-3 decreased significantly in the two electrical stimulation groups.There was again no significant difference between the two electrical stimulation groups.Conclusions Electrical stimulation below the contraction threshold can reduce ischemic cardiomyocyte apoptosis in rats.The mechanisms may be associated with down-regulation of the expression of caspase-3.Electrical stimulation below the contraction threshold of the myocardium can also reduce cardiomyocyte apoptosis in rats.

Objective To explore whether health examination save medical insurance fund or not. Methods To observe the sparing medical cost which 371 health examination people avoid repeated checking and shorten the length of stay during hospitalization from March 2006 to March 2007. To observe the effect of sparing medical cost because of regular health examination, early discovery diseases, pretreatment promptly and avoidance transforming to advanced diseases. Results Because of avoiding repeated checking and shortening the length of stay,everybody save the medical cost about 570 yuan,371 people can save about 21 ten thousands yuan. To statistics the average hospital cost of different courses of eight common diseases and malignant tumors from January to November at 2007, we discovered that the medical cost is large distinction between the earlier period and advanced stage of disease. For example: the medical cost of one stage of hypertension is 6608 yuan ,the two stage is 8838 yuan ,the three stage is 13 869 yuan, and the stage of hypertensive heart disease is 13 033 yuan. Parts of health examination crowd who stay at my hospital from 1996 were visited for five years ,we conformed many chronic diseases by prompt intervention can relieve and even reverse, avoiding the transformation to incurable disease which will consume a large number of strength and money. Conclusion Health examination resource is a medical treatment resource which isn't restricted by social security fund, the utilization can not only save medical cost but also discover and treat diseases earlier, thus we can save the strength and money before the advanced diseases.

Objective To study the relationship between the expression of breast cancer susceptibility gene (BRCA)1 and the pathological parameters in sporadic breast cancer. Method Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of BRCA1 in 42 cases of breast cancer tissues and 30 cases of breast fibroadenoma tissues and analyzed the correlation of the results with other parameters which included tumor size,tumor type,histological grade and axillary lymph nodes metastases. Results The positive expression rate of BRCA1 was 52.4% (22/42) in breast cancer patients and 85.7% (36/42) in breast fibroadenoma patients. The lower positive expression rate of BRCA1 was found in axillary lymph nodes metastases (P < 0.05). The positive expression rate in stage Ⅲ of breast cancer was lower than that in stage Ⅰ (P < 0.05 ) and was also lower than that in stage Ⅱ (P < 0.05 ), but there was no significant difference between stage Ⅰ and stage Ⅱ (P > 0.05). No significant correlation was observed among expression of BRCA1 and tumor size, tumor type (P > 0.05). Conclusions BRCA1 plays an important role in pathogenesis and development of breast cancer.BRCA1 maybe a adjuvant index for treating breast cancer and estimating prognosis.

Objective To explore the role of the change of the CD11b expression in hyperleukocytosis and acute promyelocytic leukemia(APL) differentiation syndrome, we observed the effects of all-trans retinoie acid(ATRA) and trioxide arsenic(ATO) alone or the combination together with daunorubicin (DNR) on CD11b expression of human APL cell line NB4 cells. Methods By using the mono-antibody of CD11b FITC-conjugated, we monitored the level of CD11b expression of NB4 cells by flow cytometry. Results With the length of the 1 μmol/L ATRA exposure,the CD11b expression was increased. Exposed to ATRA for 24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 168 h;the CD11b expression of NB4 cell was (33.34±3.15)%, (55.59±5.13)%, (86.08±5.12)% and (90.69±2.69)%, respectively which were higher than control group and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). With the length of the 1 μmol/L ATO exposure, the CD11b expression showed no significant difference with control group(P>0.05), but was significantly lower than that in ATRA exposure(P<0.01). Exposed to 1 μmol/L ATRA combined with 1 μmol/L ATO for 72 h and 168 h, the CD11b expression were (18.81±1.40)% and (25.61±4.54)%, which were significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05, P<0.01), but significantly lower than ATRA exposure (P<0.01). With the exposure to 1 μmol/L ATRA combined with 1 μmol/L ATO and 1 μmol/L DNR, the CD11b expression was also significantly lower than ATRA exposure (P<0.01) and showed no difference with control group (P>0.05). Conclusion By avoiding the increase of CD11b expression of promyelocytic leukemia cells, ATRA combined with ATO or two drugs together with DNR could play a role in eliminating incidence of hyperleukocytosis and retinoic acid syndrome.
