Objective To investigate the changes of serum levels of CysC and NT-proBNP in patients with hypertension .Meth-ods 89 patients with hypertension were selected and divided into five subgroups:Group A (n= 20) with simple hypertension;Group B(n=18) with hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy ;Group C(n=15) with hypertension and heart failure;Group D(n=17) with hypertension and early renal damage;Group D(n=19) with hypertension and coronary heart disease .20 healthy in-dividuals were selected as control group .The serum levels of CysC and NT-proBNP were measured in all the groups .Results The serum levels of CysC in group B ,C and D were higher than control group (P<0 .05) ,and serum CysC level in group E was lower than control group(P<0 .05) .The serum level of NT-proBNP in group D was higher than control group(P<0 .05) ,and the serum NT-proBNP levels in group B ,C and E were significantly higher than control group (P<0 .01) .Conclusion The detection of CysC and NT-proBNP in patients with hypertension is helpful for understanding the progression of the disease and the occurrence of amalgamative diseases ,and it provides positive proof for clinical treatment .

Aim To clarify the regulation role of ca-thepsin B ( Cat B ) in cell proliferation and apoptosis induced by SAHA in ER-positive breast cancer cell line MCF-7.Methods MTT was used to screen the optimal concentration and treatment time of SAHA . The expression levels of related proteins were deter-mined by ELISA , and the morphological changes were observed through time-lapse live cell imaging acquisi-tion.Cell viability and apoptosis assay in MCF-7 cells were assessed by Muse Cell Analyzer with SAHA and /or Cystatin C treatment .Results MTT assay showed that the anti-tumor efficacy of SAHA was significant . The optimal concentration and treatment time were 10μmol? L-1 and 24 h respectively . ELISA assay showed that SAHA could induce expression of Cat B in MCF-7 cells.Real-time live-cell imaging experiments demonstrated that the combination treatment of Cystatin C and SAHA significantly resumed the inhibitory effect caused by SAHA alone .Cytology test showed that SA-HA alone obviously depressed the cell viability and in-duced apoptosis . However , the effect was reversed with the combination of Cystatin C .Conclusion Cat B plays an important role in apoptosis induced by SAHA in ER +breast cancer cells MCF-7.

Objective To study diagnostic methods for early renal injury in hypertension patients. Methods Urinary microalbumin (mALB) and ? 2 microglodulin(? 2 MG) levels were measured with rate nepherometry. Total quantitative enzyme immunoassay was employed to measure urinary retinol binding protein (RBP) levels, rate for urinary N acetyl beta D glucosaminidase (NAG), and Jaffes rate for urinary creatinine (Cr). Results The levels of urinary RBP, mALB, ? 2 MG, NAG in hypertension patients were significantly higher than those in controls ( P

Objective To evaluate the clinical effects of endobronchial ultrasound - transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) in the evaluation of staging of lung cancer.Methods Between July 2008 to March 2010,the first 128 patients selected by CT or PET/CT scanning with lung cancer in whom metastatic carcinoma in the hilar and/or mediastinal lymph nodes underwent EBUS-TBNA and were clinically followed up.There were 102 males and 26 femals with the age of 37 - 85 years,average 60.1 years.Review the performance in check and the result of biopsy.Results From 128 patients of mean age 60.1 years ( range 37 - 85 ),189 lymph nodes were punctured.The mean diameter of the nodes was 12.3 mm and the range was 6-16 mm.There were no procedural complications.Accuracy,sensitivity,and specificity for EBUS-TBNA were 98.53％,98.50％,and 100％,respectively.Conclusion EBUS-TBNA allows real-time visualization of mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes,allowing sampling safely and efficiently.It has great potential for diagnosis of staging of lung cancer.

Objective To screen the Doc 1R gene recombinant plasmid by use of colony PCR. Method The recombinant colonies were transfered into the PCR reaction mixture. The PCR primers were used for constructing mouse Doc 1R genomic sequence. Result Among the 5, 3 positive strips in the size of 1 500 bp were visible, which were the same as the Doc 1R gene fractions in terms of their sizes were screened as positive clones. The positive colony were further confirmed by double digestion and DNA sequencing. Conclusion Colony PCR is a simple, efficient and reliable technique for screening the recombinant.

Objective To observe the efficacy of 3-dimensional image recombinant guidance in treatment of portal hypertension.Methods A total of 73 cases of portal hypertension were randomized into study and control groups: In study group(n=37),3DCT or MRA imaging display of whole portal venous system was used as guide in selecting portoazygos vein disconnection(P-AVD) operation;in control group(n=36),the classic P-AVD operation was performed.The postoperative complication rate and the degree of amelioration of esophageal varices were cbserved.Results Compared with the control group,the short term rebleeding rate in observation group(0.00%,0/37) was lower than that in control group(11.11%,4/36),improvement rate of esophageal varices in observation group(100%,37/37) was higher than that in control group(86.11%,31/36),and the aggregate rate of portal hypertensive gastric disease and esophageal varices in observation group(0.00%,0/36)was lower than that in control group(13.9%,5/36).There was a statistical difference between the two groups(all P

Objective To investigate the value of neuronavigation system in resection of pituitary adenoma through the endonasal transsphenoidal approach. Methods Twenty-one patients with pituitary adenomas underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or CT scans studies. The image datasets were transported into the neuronavigation system. The anatomic information of approach was reconstructed for three-dimensional visualization and the best approach was designed. The midline structure and internal carotid artery were displayed in real-time intraoperatively, the anterior-wall of sphenoidal sinus and the floor of sella were accurately opened and the tumor was resected guiding by neuronavigation system. Results All the operations were smoothly and accurately performed under the neuronavigation by transsphenoidal approach. No injury occurred in the internal carotid artery and cavernous sinus. After surgery, 13 patients got better vision and visual field. Postoperative transient diabetes insipidus was found in 11 cases, and CSF leak in 1 and serious hyponatremia in 2 cases. Total tumor removal was achieved in 17 patients and subtotal removal in 2 cases during operations, which were confirmed by postoperative MRI. Three-month follow-up data showed only one recurrence case (subtotal tumor removal), the recurrence rate was 4.8%. Conclusion Neuronavigation system provided real-time localization with three-dimensional anatomic information of the endonasal transsphenoidal approach during pituitary adenomas surgery. As a result, the approach proceeds more smoothly and accurately, the tumor can be resected more completely, the surgical injury and complications can also be reduced.

Objective To investigate the effects of probucol and losartan on cell proliferation after balloon angioplasty in hypercholesterolaemic rabbits.Methods Forty male New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into high cholesterol diet group,probucol group,losartan group and combined drugs group.The iliac arteries of the rabbits were balloon-injured and the insulin-like growth factor-I receptor(IGF-IR),vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),and proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA) were detected by using immunohistochemical method.Results Compared with high cholesterol diet group,the lumen areas were enlarged and the intimal areas were decreased in the probucol group,losartan group and combined drugs group(all P
