Sixteen patients with congenital heart disease,4 males,12 females,aged 5-52 years,admitted to Department of Cardiology,Tianchang People's Hospital from October 2007 to November 2008 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients were diagnosed by echocardiography as 4 with congenital patent ductus arteriosus(PDA),6 atrial septal defect(ASD) and 6 ventricular septal defect(VSD).The diameter limitation of PDA,ASD and VSD are 5-17 mm,20-32 mm,and 4-10 mm,respectively.All patients received transcatheter-closure therapy by domestic-made occluders,and diameters of PDA,ASD and VSD were monitored using angiography and echocardiography.The treatment effect was evaluated by echocardiography 72 hours after procedure.The closure rate was 100%,without severe complications.No residual shunt was observed 72 hours after procedure.Four patients developed fever,including 2 acute respiratory infection and 2 pulmonary infection with balanced anesthesia;1 patient with ASD and 2 with VSDs developed arrhythmia.Results suggest that transcatheter closure of congenital heart defects(PDA,ASD and VSD) using domestic-made occluders is safe and effective according to strict indications.

Immune checkpoint is one of the most effective research targets for tumor immunotherapy. Immune checkpoint inhibitors, mainly programmed death receptor 1 and its ligand 1, have achieved good response rates in various tumor treatments, but some tumors still have low response rates. In recent years, bispecific antibodies have developed rapidly in the field of tumor research, because they can target multiple targets and play a combined role in tumor therapy, and can effectively inhibit tumor immune escape. This article reviews the research progress and clinical status of bispecific antibodies targeting immune checkpoints.

Objective:This study was aimed to investigate the influence of CDK7 siRNA on the sensitivity of endometrial carci-noma cell line HEC-1-A to cisplatin (DDP)-based chemotherapy. Methods:Different CDK7 siRNA fragments were synthesized based on the designs of the CDK gene sequence and were transfected into HEC-1-A. Real time reverse transcription polymerase chain reac-tion (RT-PCR) and Western blot analysis were employed to demonstrate the effects of transfection. The best CDK7 siRNA was chosen to specifically silence CDK7 expression in HEC-1-A.The sensitivity of the cells to DDP therapy before and after transfection was deter-mined by methyl thiazol tetrazolium (MTT) cytotoxicity assay, flow cytometry, and Hoechst/PI double-staining fluorescence microsco-py. Results:A total of four different CDK7 siRNA segments were designed and successfully transfected into HEC-1-A cells. The inter-ference effect in each group was confirmed by real time RT-PCR and Western blot assays. CDK7-423 was determined as the best per-forming CDK7 siRNA (over 70%) to transfect into HEC-1-A cells. MTT cytotoxicity test showed that IC50 of DDP decreased to a range from 45.122 μg/mL and 3.200 μg/mL after inhibition of CDK7 expression. DDP toxicity to the endometrial carcinoma cells sig-nificantly increased (P<0.05). Flow cytometry revealed that the average cell apoptosis rate significantly increased after the inhibition of CDK7 expression (11.66%to 37.57%, P<0.05). Similar results were observed using Hoechst/PI double-staining fluorescence microsco-py, and the number of apoptotic corpuscle demonstrated an apparent increase in the low CDK7-expressing group compared with the pa-rental cells. Conclusion:After the downregulation of CDK7 expression by CDK7 siRNA transfection, DDP chemotherapy sensitivity and apoptosis of endometrial carcinoma cells significantly increased. Further research is anticipated on the use of CDK7 as a new treat-ment target for endometrial carcinoma.

Purpose To summarize the CT features and clinical characteristics of atypical primary fallopian tube cancer (PCFT) and ovarian cystadenocarcinoma (OCA), in order to improved the diagnosis. Materials and Methods CT findings and clinical data of 12 patients with atypical PCFT (PCFT group) and 20 patients with OCA (OCA group) were retrospectively studied. All patients were confirmed by pathology. Serum CA125 level, clinical characteristics and CT features of two groups were compared. Results Serum CA125 level of PCFT group and OCA group were (486.13±23.89) U/ml and (1606.94±62.86) U/ml, respectively. There was statistic difference between the two groups (P<0.01). There was significant differences on vaginal bleeding and vaginal discharge between the two groups (P<0.01). There were 4 cases with solid mass, 8 cases with cystic solid mass in PCFT group. And in OCA group, 16 cases with cystic solid mass and 4 cases with cystic mass were revealed, which showed statistic differences between the two groups (P<0.05). Some other findings also showed statistic differences including the diameter of ovarian vein on the affected side, the diameter of the round ligament of uterus on the affected side, tumor volume, and CT values of the mass in venous phase and delay phase (P<0.05 or P<0.01). However, there were no statistic significance in the size of metastatic lymph nodes, the mean CT value of the mass on plain scan and in the arterial phase (P>0.05). Conclusion Clinical findings of serum CA125 level, vaginal bleeding, and vaginal discharge combine with imaging findings of diameter of the ovarian vein in the affected side, diameter of ipsilateral round ligament of uterus, tumor volume, CT values of the mass in venous and delay phase would be the key points for differential diagnosis of PCFT and OCA.

nephrectomy in Wistar rats were used to replicate the animal model of focal and segmental glomerular sclerosis.Then a group of 5/6 nephrectomized rats were given Benzaipril for 20 weeks , in order to evaluate the effects of Benazipril on degradation of extracellular matrix. The results showed that Benzipril not only reduced renal pathological changes, but also significantly decreased the type Ⅳ collagen and MMP 9 deposition and down regulated the mRNA expressions of MMP 9 and TIMP 1 in the remnant kidneys of the 5/6 nephrectomized rats. It suggested that Benzipril might ameliorate glomerulosclerosis through the mechanism of modulating extracellular matrix degradation in the remnant kidney tissue.

A total of 25 fast-growing rhizobium isolates from variety of legumiuous plants in Hainan Province, a tropical region of China, and 7 representative strains of genera Rhizobium, Sinorhizobium and Agrobacterium were characterized by numerical taxonomy. The results indicated that rhizobium isolates from Hainan were taxonomically heterogenous. At thesimilarity level of 70%, 13 strains from Hainan formed a distinct group which could use wider range of carbon and nitrogen sources, and were more resistent to antibiotics and chemicals than known rhizobium species. 2 strains could not fall into any group, and the others fell into different known species respectively. There were no correlations between hosts and the taxonomic positions of their symbionts. The rhizobium isolates from the same host genus or speceis could fall into different groups.
