Objective To explore the risk factors related to death in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI) in hospital,so as to guide clinical treatment to reduce the occurrence of death.Methods Two hundred and seventy cases with AMI who got in infarction within 24 h were studied in the Cardiology Departmentof Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University from Jan.2010 and Jun.2013.The patients were divided into the death group(n =32) and the cured group(n =232) according to the endpoint in hospital.The clinical information was recorded and multiple factors logistic regression analysis was applied to analyze the risk factors of death due to AMI.Results The age,serum creatinine(Cr) in both groups were ((65.21 ± 13.55) years old,(76.41 ±10.19) years old) and ((100.23 ±65.99) μmol/L,(139.22 ±92.03) μmol/L) and there were statistically significant differences (P < 0.05).The differences of other indicators in two groups were no statistically significant.Clinical data comparison between the two groups showed that incidence rate of arrhythmia (14.7%),the disease rate of anterior descending coronary artery (50.4%),the disease rate of circumflex branch coronary artery (48.7%),the level of high sensitivity C reactionprotein (hs-CRP) ((5.92 ± 4.41) mg/L),brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) ((844.89 ± 1108.41) ng/L) and creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) ((87.99 ± 140.45)U/L) in death group were lower than those in cured group (31.3%,81.3%,68.8%,(10.82 ± 2.29) mg/L,(1210.57 ± 984.44) ng/L,(161.86 ± 214.75) U/L; P < 0.05).Multiple factors logistic regression analysis showed that elder age (OR =1.078,95 % CI:1.014-1.118,P =0.015),arrhythmia occurred or not in hospital (OR =1.636,95% CI:1.151-3.041,P =0.024),the pathological changes of anterior descending coronary artery (OR =1.428,95 % CI:1.143-2.437,P =0.018),the level of hs-CRP (OR =1.352,95% CI:1.137-1.607,P =0.001) were the independent risk factors for myocardial infarction patients' death.Conclusion Elder age,arrhythmia occurred in hospital,the pathological changes of anterior descending coronary artery,the high level of hs-CRP are the independent risk factors for AMI patients death.Relevant measures in the treatment should be taken to reduce their risk of death.

Objective To explore the effect of early pelvis control training on the balance function in patients with hemiplegia. Methods 60 early stroke patients were divided into the treatment group and the control group. The patients in the treatment group accepted the early pelvis control training based on the normal early rehabilitation which was given to the control. They were evaluated with Berg Balance Scale and the Modified Bathel Index before and 2 months after treatment. Results The scores of Berg Balance Scale and the Modified Bathel Index of the treatment group improved more than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The early pelvis control training can improve the balance dysfunction after hemiplegia effectively.

Objective To study the structures of the plasmids of Klebsiella pneumoniae KF3 at the genome metagenome level througth with whole plasmid DNA sequencing, to analyze the functional genes carried by plasmid and to identify the correlation of resistance and pathogenicity between the plasmids and the host strains. Methods The alkaline lysis method was used to extract plasmids. We constructed the small insert pUC18 library and the large insert Forsmid library, sequenced and used the Phred / Phrap / Consed package to assemble these sequences and gained a complete sequence. The open reading frame(ORFs) were predicted by the Glimmer software and annotated, analyzed the functions of these genes. Results We successfully constructed the pUC18 library and the Fosmid libraries for the plasmid DNA and obtained three circular double-stranded DNA plasmids: pKF3-70 (69 477 bp), pKF3-90 (91 327 bp) and pKF3-147 ( 147 416 bp). There were drug resistant genes, conjugative transfer genes and mobile DNA elements identified on three plasmids. Conclusion The three plasmids of KF3 could be transferred among different strains. It would lead to the dissemination of the resistant genes.

Objective:To study the correlation between third lumbar skeletal muscle index(LSMI) and inflammatory factors and other factors in peripheral blood in gastric cancer patients.Methods:From October 2017 to December 2019, patients with gastric cancer admitted to West China Hospital Sichuan University were included. The LSMI of patients was obtained by dividing the area of skeletal muscle at the third lumbar vertebra level by the square of the height based on preoperative abdominal imaging data. The correlation between preoperative LSMI and inflammatory factors and other factors in peripheral blood were analyzed by person correlation analysis.Results:This study included 132 patients with gastric cancer. Among them, 39 were classified as stage Ⅰ, 36 were stage Ⅱ, and 57 were stage Ⅲ, respectively. Pearson correlation analysis suggested that the LSMI of gastric cancer patients was positively correlated with peripheral red blood cell count( P<0.01), hemoglobin( P<0.01), and prealbumin( P<0.01), and negatively correlated with interleukin-6(IL-6, P=0.027) and C-reactive protein(CRP, P= 0.014). Conclusion:Our study suggested that LSMI can be used as a nutritional index in gastric cancer patients and IL-6 and CRP played an important in the occurrence and development of sarcopenia in gastric cancer patients.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of coronary heart disease risk fac tors,and explore the relationship of severity of coronary artery lesions in patients with coronary heart disease and coronary heart disease risk factors.Methods In our hospital for treatment of coronary artery disease patients during April 2013 to August 2014,230 cases of hospitalized patients were divided into two groups after coronary angiography diagnosis,including 170 cases of patients with coronary heart disease as the observation group,and 60 patients with coronary atherosclerosis as the control group with the degree of stenosis less than 50%.The clinical data of two groups were used to study the risk factors for coronary heart disease.The relationship was analyzed between severity of coronary artery pathological changes and coronary heart disease risk factors.Results For the observation group,type 2 diabetes,smoking,and men were associated with coronary heart disease (CHD),with the corresponding OR (95% CI) of 17.489 (11.013-30.017),48.632 (20.379-117.178),and 18.976 (13.105-28.331),respectively.Smoking and type 2 diabetes were associated with coronary artery stenosis degree (P < 0.05),with OR 95% (CI) of 10.15 (2.012-2.584),and of 7.23 (1.613-2.176).The results found there was no relationship among hypertension,dyslipidemia,coronary heart disease (CHD),and age.There was a link between the body mass index (BMI) and the severity of the disease.For observation group,left ventricular ejection function,high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP),and Ccr were related to the severity of coronary lesions,and the patients existed lower Ccr,left ventricular ejection function abate,and increased hs-CRP levels increase,P<0.05,and the OR (95% CI) were 1.986 (5.204-17.627),1.103 (1.012-1.027),and 2.131 (1.901-2.369).Conclusions Type 2 diabetes,smoking,male patients with coronary heart disease risk factors had a close relationship,and the severity of coronary artery lesions included the reduced re nal function in patients and the increased hs-CRP level.

Monoclonal antibody-based therapy has achieved great success and is now one of the most crucial therapeutic modalities for cancer therapy. The first monoclonal antibody authorized for treating human epidermal growth receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer is trastuzumab. However, resistance to trastuzumab therapy is frequently encountered and thus significantly restricts the therapeutic outcomes. To address this issue, tumor microenvironment (TME) pH-responsive nanoparticles (NPs) were herein developed for systemic mRNA delivery to reverse the trastuzumab resistance of breast cancer (BCa). This nanoplatform is comprised of a methoxyl-poly (ethylene glycol)-b-poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) copolymer with a TME pH-liable linker (Meo-PEG-Dlink m -PLGA) and an amphiphilic cationic lipid that can complex PTEN mRNA via electrostatic interaction. When the long-circulating mRNA-loaded NPs build up in the tumor after being delivered intravenously, they could be efficiently internalized by tumor cells due to the TME pH-triggered PEG detachment from the NP surface. With the intracellular mRNA release to up-regulate PTEN expression, the constantly activated PI3K/Akt signaling pathway could be blocked in the trastuzumab-resistant BCa cells, thereby resulting in the reversal of trastuzumab resistance and effectively suppress the development of BCa.
