0 but was obviously lower than P_ sys in no endoleak. P_ sac approached P_ sys in type Ⅰ and type Ⅳ endoleaks. Some researches showed that P_ sac in type Ⅱ endoleak was higher than that in no endoleak and even approached P_ sys , however the other researches showed that P_ sac in type Ⅱ endoleak was lower than that in no endoleak. Conclusion Postoperative P_ sac dropping greatly eliminated the risk of aneurysm rupture, which symbolized the success of endovascular therapy. Even if the type Ⅰ endoleak of small size might lead to obvious elevation of P_ sac , which necessitates management. The impairment and management tactics of type Ⅱ endoleak remained equivocal, which required further study.

The common, particular structure and the arrangement pattern of the retinula in the compound eye of the housefly Musca domestica have been investigated, and the structures of the retinula cells here been compared with an electron microscope under dark, bright and high intensity light adaptation condition.In general, the retinula of the compound eye is composed of eight retinula cells, but some retinula is composed of six, seven, or nine, ten retinula cells.The arrangement pattern of the retinula in the right, left compound eye and dorsal, ventral regions of the compound eye are the mirror image inversion. But the arrangement pattern of some retinula in the dorsal or ventral region is also the mirror image inversion.The greater part of pigment granules in the retinula cells No.1～6 move towards the rhabdomere, the pigment granules in the retinula cells No.7～8 do not move, but the pigment granules in the some retinula cells No.7～8 move towards the rhabdomere under high intensity light adaptation condition.

HIV-1 fusion inhibitors are a new class of anti-HIV compounds, which block the entry of HIV into target cells through preventing the fusion between viral and cell plasma membrane and thus interrupt the initial steps of viral replication. T-20 (enfuvirtide), which has been clinically approved as the first fusion inhibitor of HIV-1 by U.S. FDA in 2003, can suppress replication of HIV variants with multi-drug resistance to reverse transcriptase and protease inhibitors. Peptides and small molecules display potent anti-HIV fusion activities by targeting gp41 thus inhibit its fusogenic function. In recent years, with the development of studies on the molecular mechanism of HIV membrane fusion process and the function of gp41, many new fusion inhibitors are found and some have been in advanced clinical trials. This review discusses recent progress in the development of HIV-1 fusion inhibitors targeting the gp41.

1. The central retinular cells R_7 in the compound eye of male housefly can be divided into two types which are called here R_(7a) and R_(7b) respectively. R_(7a) approximate many features of R_(1-6) cells, which have a larger, cell body, rhabdomere and axon, terminate in the first optic neuropil (lamina). R_(7b) approximate many features of R_8 cell and project directly to the second optic neuropil (medulla). 2. The central retinular cell R_(7a) in the compound eye of male housefly distribute mainly the dorsal region of the eye, there are a few of R_(7a) in the ventral region of the eye, which only distribute in the first and second row ommatidia under equatorial line, but not found in the compound eye of female housefly.

Pulsed wave Doppler echocardiograpdy was performed in eighteen cases with chronic mitral regurgitation(CMR)and 21 normal individuals td detect the quantitative changes of the mitral diastolic flow spectrum.The results showed that the pseudonormalization of mitral flow spectrum in CMR was actually caused by impaired left ventricle(LV)active relaxation and decreased LV compliance:It thus masked the LV diastolic dysfunction in CMR.E-wave pressure gradiant(E-PG),A-wave pressure gradiant(A-PG),isovolumic relaxation time(IVRT),E deceleration time(E-DT)and LV filling time(LVFT)in CMR group were significantly different in from those in normal group(P<0.01).Therefore it is essential to integrate these parameters as the indexes to evaluate the LV diastolic dysfunction in CMR.

In medical organic chemistry education, seven design method of introduction are put forward by using teaching art in educational segment, allowing students to enhance the study activity in lively atmosphere.

Objective To investigate the effects of the left ventricular geometry on left atrial structure and function in essential hypertension (EH).Methods One hundred and thirty-eight patients with EH and 86 normal controls were studied with echocardiography.According to left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and relative wall thickness (RWT),a total of 138 patients with EH were divided into normal geometry group (58 cases),concentric remodeling group (22 cases),concentric hypertrophy group (21 cases) and eccentric hypertrophy group (37 cases).Correlation between left atrial diameter index (LADI),left atrial ejection force (LAEF) and all parameters was respectively obtained using linear regression analysis,and the stepwise regression analysis was used to assess the independent effect of each parameter.Results Compared with control group,LADI and LAEF were higher ( P

Objective To evaluate the mid-term outcomes of endovascular repair of descending thoracic aortic aneurysm(DTAA) in high-risk patients.Methods Twenty four patients with DTAA received stent-grafts implantation between January 2001 and July 2007 and their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed.All patients were considered high-risk for open surgical repair due to the location or rupture of the aneurysm,high age and severe comorbidities.Spiral computed tomography angiography and 3-dimentional reconstructions were performed at 1,3,6 and 12 months postoperatively and thereafter every year.Results The primary operational success rate was 100%.There were 2 deaths(8.3%) during perioperative period due to multiorgan failure and acute myocardial infarction respectively.Two(8.3%) patients had severe post-operational complications(1 stroke and 1 acute renal insufficiency).Eleven cases of type Ⅰ(46%) endoleak were detected immediately after the operation and among them,the endoleak disappeared after balloon dilatation in 3 cases while the other 8 patients were treated conservatively.Follow-up of 1 to 60 months(mean 18.6?4.2 months) was completed in 19 patients(79.2%).Stent displacement with type Ⅰ endoleake was found in 1 patient at 4 years after the operation and delayed type Ⅲ endoleak occured in another patient at 2 years post-operation.Both patients received endovacular repair again and the endoleaks were closed successfully.One patient died of colon cancer during the follow up.Complete thrombosis of the thoracic aneurysm sac and no stent migration or endoleak was found on the followup CT at 3 months after the operation in all the patients.The decrease in maximal aneurysm diameter was 0-18 mm(mean 6.3?3.1 mm).The prosthetic vascular grafts implanted in 4 patients with preliminary carotid subclavian bypass surgery were patent during the follow-up period.Conclusion Treatment of descending thoracic aortic aneurysm in high-risk patients with endovascular approach showed acceptable early mortality and morbidity and may be considered as a treatment alternative for carefully selected patients.

Objective To summarize the experience in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of pulmonary sequestration. Method The clinical data from 15 patients with pulmonary sequestration underwent surgical operation from July 2000 to January 2009 were reviewed and analyzed retrospectively. Results Pulmonary sequestration was diagnosed in 14 patients before the operation with the diagnosis rate of 93.33% (14 /15).Preoperation plane and contrast chest CT scan were performed in all cases,and 9 patients performed angiography reconstruction. Twelve patients with intralobar sequestration underwent lobectomy and 3 patients with extralobular sequestration underwent local lesion resection. Abnormal supply arteries were intraoperatively found in 14 patients originating from the thoracic main artery, 1 patient from the eeliac artery. Smooth recovery was achieved in all patients. No perioperarive death occurred. Conclusions Pulmonary sequestration is a rare disease with high misdiagnosis rate in some patients. Contrast enhanced CT scan and angiography may improve the diagnosis of pulmonary sequestration. Operation is a safe and effective method for the treatment of pulmonary sequestration.

Objective To explore the diagnosis and treatment of isolated dissection of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA).Methods From Feb 2006 to July 2010,15 patients with isolated SMA dissection were treated in our center,there were 13 males,2 females,the mean age was(53 ± 8) years (range 43 -63).Among them,1 was caused by trauma,14 had unknown etiology,and 9 cases had a history of hypertension.Diagnosis was made by contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) in all cases.Management strategies inlcuded placement of self-expanding bare stent,medical treatment,and transperitoneal SMA fenestration.Results Endovascular stenting was attempted in 14 cases,with a success in 5 and a failure in 9 cases who were then given medical treatment with antiplatelet agents.One case with critical intestinal ischemia underwent open exploration and SMA fenestration.Blood vessel patency resumed.Follow-up with duplex and CT was accomplished in 13 cases,time ranging from 12 to 60 months (mean 28 ± 14mos).There was no recurrent abdominal pain or chronic intestinal ischemia developed during the follow-up.In medically treated patients,there was no aneurismal enlargement of SMA,while in the endovasculartreatmentgroup,allstentsremainedpatentthroughoutthefollow-up.Conclusions Endovascular treatment of isolated dissection of SMA appears to be feasible and effective,despite its relatively low technical success rate.For asymptomatic patients,medical treatment is the treatment of choice.In case of critical intestinal ischemia and with a suspected intestinal gangrene,emergency surgical exploration and fenestration should be performed.
