Objective To investigate the value of magnetic resonance imaging of heart in diagnosis of unstable angina pectoris.Methods A total of 24 patients with unstable angina pectoris including 15 male and 9 female confirmed by coronary angiography (CAG) were enrolled.All 24 patients were scanned by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging ( CMR),and then the analyses of the first pass images and the delayed contrast enhancement images were carried out for comparison.The findings of cardiac structure,cardiac function,myocardial ischemia,myocardial necrosis,myocardial edema were taken for answering to the images made by echocardiography (UCG) and coronary angiography (CAG) linked with conventional examinations for the diagnosis of coronary disease.Results Compared with the UCG,CMR provided more detailed information about the right ventricle,and the information about left ventricular structure and function given by UCG was very good consistent with that offered by CMR,and CMR could detect myocardial ischemia,myocardial edema and the myocardial necrosis,which were of good consistency with findings often observed by conventional inspection methods.Conclusions Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is of high value in diagnosis and evaluation of unstable angina pectoris and is far superior over other conventional methods for examinations of unstable angina pectoris.

Objective To observe the results of bone bolt crews in treatment of the haplo-detached distal tibiofibular joint.Methods The haplo-detached distal tibiofibular joint were fixed with bone bolt in 7 patients.Their outcomes were evaevaluated according to Mast and Teipner criteria and X-ray.Results All 7 patients were followed up from 12 to 36 months.All were assessed as good,and no fair or poor cases were found.Conclusion Bone bolt fixation was believed to be a good method to treat the haplo-detached distal tibiofibular joint with simple operation,beared shear force and control of brew tightress and was helpful in weight loading and functional exercises in the earlier period after operation,so bone bolt fixation was good in practical value in clinc.

Using the research papers of Peking University Third Hospital recorded in SCIE since 2005 to 2014 as data basis, some bibliometric indexes were analyzed, including papers quality,cited times, impact factor, and funded papers.To reveal the current hospital research status and provide reference for policy drafting and subject development planning.In the past ten years, the quantity of paper increased significantly.However, highly impact papers published by Peking University Third Hospital were relatively rare, the cited times per paper in clinical medicine is lower than that of china mainland.It is necessary to improve the quality of research paper.

Objective To investigate the effects of the compound T0 extracted from Tripterygium wilfordii, a traditional Chinese herb, in comparison with those of cyclosporin A(CyA), on down－ regulating the expression and activities of IL－ 1 and IL－ 2. Methods The cellular reactive systems of peritoneal macrophage (rat)－ thymocytes (rat), and spleen cells (rat)－ CTLL－ 2 (mouse) were set up. The technique of 3H－ TdR incorporation was applied. Results The production of IL－ 1 and IL－ 2 were significantly inhibited by T0 and CyA. The activities of IL－ 1 and IL－ 2 were down－ regulated by T0,rather than by CyA. Conclusion T0 and CyA are potent inhibitors of the production of IL－ 1 and IL－ 2. Effects of T0 on the activities of IL－ 1 and IL－ 2 are different from those of CyA.

Objective To investigate the role and mechanism of simvastatin on colonic fibrosis in rats with 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulphonic acid (TNBS) induced colitis.Methods Forty-eight healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were evenly divided into six groups:control group,TNBS group,simvastatin treated group Ⅰ,group Ⅱ (from zero to 21 days after modeling,simvastatin 5 mg/kg or simvastatin 20 mg/kg treated),group Ⅲ and group Ⅳ (from seven to 21 days after modeling,simvastatin 5 mg/kg or 20 mg/kg treated).Body weight and disease activity index (DAI) of the rats were inspected,and general colon,histological injury and fibrosis were scored.The expressions of collagen types Ⅰ and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) at mRNA level were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).The expressions of collagen types Ⅰ,CTGF and phosphorylation of myosin phosphatase target subunit-1 (p-MYPT-1) at protein level were determined by Western blotting.The data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA.Results Compared with control group,the colon length shortened,while colon weight,DAI score,general colon score,histological injury and fibrosis score significantly increased in TNBS group.And the expressions of collagen types Ⅰ also obviously increased.After intervention of simvastatin,both the colon length and weight of rats were improved.The DAI score,general score,histological injury and fibrosis score were lower than those of TNBS group.The expressions of collagen types Ⅰ,CTGF and p-MYPT-1 (group Ⅰ:0.68±0.22 ; group Ⅱ:0.59 ± 0.27 ; group Ⅲ:0.71 ± 0.20 ; group Ⅳ:0.59± 0.25) in colonic tissue were all lower than those of TNBS group (F=5.169,P＜0.05).There were no statistical significance among four groups (al1 P＞0.05).Conclusion Simvastatin can effectively prevent TNBS-induced rat colitis from colonic fibrosis,the mechanism may be related with Rho-kinase inhibition and down-regulation of CTGF over-expression.

Objective To compare the differences between external standard method and relative correction factor method for determination of the flavonoids from Sorbus tianschanica Rupr.Methods Using HPLC external standard method for determination of hyperoside,rutin,isoquercitrin,quercetin-3-O-(6″-O-malonyl)-β-D-glucoside,astragalin and Kaempferol-3-O-(6″-O-malonyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside in Sorbus tianschanica Rupr.,HPLC relative correction factor method was adopted to establish relative correction factor of the other five flavonoids above with hyperoside as reference.The difference was evaluated by comparing the external standard method with the relative correction factor method.Results There was no significant difference between the T test external standard method and relative correction factor method(P>0.05).Conclusion External standard method and relative correction factor method can be used for determination of the flavonoids from Sorbus tianschanica Rupr.,but in the case of lack of reference substance or mass detection,using the relative correction factor method for determination of rutin,hyperoside isoquercitrin,quercetin-3-O-(6″-O-malonyl)-β-D-glucoside,astragalin and kaempferol-3-O-(6″-O-malonyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside in Sorbus tianschanica Rupr.It was more feasible and it can be used as a new quality evaluation method in determination of flavonoid components from Sorbus tianschanica Rupr.

Objective To explore the expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor -3( HER3) in human epidermal growth factor receptor-2(HER2)-positive breast cancer and its relationship with the therapeutic effect of trastuzumab and clinical prognosis .Methods Clinicopathological characteristics of 235 HER2-positive breast cancer patients undergoing surgery in Jiangsu Cancer Hospital from Jan .2007 to Jun.2012 were analyzed retrospectively.The expression of HER3 was detected using immunohistochemisty staining .The expression of HER3 and its correlation with the clinicopathological characteristics were analyzed .All patients were followed-up to find out the impact of HER3 on the disease free survival and the therapeutic effect of trastuzumab .Results The positive rate of HER3 in Luminal B ( HER2 +) and HER2-overexpressing breast cancer was 100/135 (74.1%), and 85/100(85%)respectively.The difference had statistical significance (P<0.05).The histolog-ical grading and the lymph node metastasis were significantly different in Luminal B ( HER2+) breast cancer .The tumor volume , histological grading and lymph node metastasis were significantly different in HER 2-overexpressing breast cancer .The 5-year disease free survival of HER 2-positive breast cancer patients with negative HER 3 was higher than that with positive HER3.The non-relapse survival time was not significantly different between the pos-itive and negative HER 3 expression in Luminal B ( HER2+) breast cancer patients receiving trastuzumab treat-ment , but was significantly different in HER 2-overexpressing breast cancer patients .Conclusions HER3 is cor-related with unfavourable prognosis in HER 2-positive breast cancer .The treatment targeting HER3 may improve the clinical prognosis of both HER 2-positive and HER3-positive breast cancer patients .The HER2-overexpressing breast cancer patients with negative HER 3 may benefit more from trastuzumab treatment .

Objective To investigate the effects of propofol anesthesia on cognitive function of aged rats. Methods Ninety-six male aged SD rats (16 months) were collected and given propofol anesthesia via tail vein catheter. At 7, 30, and 90 d after anesthesia, fear conditioning experiment was performed to test long-term memory of the aged rats (12 rats at each time point, total 36 rats). At 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 d after anesthesia, spontaneous alternation in Y-maze experiment was performed to test spatial working memory of the aged rats (12 rats at each time point, total 60 rats). Results There were no statistical differences in long-term memory at 7, 30, and 90 d after anesthesia between the propofol group and control group (P>0.05). While spatial working memory of aged rats in propofol group was impaired at 1 and 2 d after anesthesia (P<0.05), working memory of aged rats in propofol group was normal at 3, 4, and 5 d after anesthesia and there were no statistical differences between the experiment and control group (P>0.05). Conclusions These results indicate that clinical dose propofol anesthesia will not induce long-term memory impairment of aged rats, although it impairs spatial working memory of aged rats within 48 h after anesthesia.

This study retrospectively reviewed 9 cases of complicated hepatic cystic hydatidosis with intrabiliary rupture who were surgically treated with pericystectomy in combination with Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy in our hospital from 2004 to 2010. The clinical features, results of laboratory tests, B-mode ultrasonography and CT, post-operative recovery, days of hospital stay after the operation and post-operative complications were statistically analyzed and the patients were followed up. The subjects in our series included 7 males and 2 females, whose average age was 50.78±7.58 years. Before operation, 9 patients suffered from pain of the right upper quadrant and jaundice, which, in 4 cases (44.45%), were accompanied with fever and chills. Preoperative B-mode ultrosonography and CT showed that all the 9 patients had single hydatid cyst, with their diameter being 9.33±1.58 cm on average. The lesions involved segments V, VI in 6 cases, and segment IV in 3 cases. By WHO classification, 7 cases were classified as CE3 and 2 cases as CE4. They all had choledochectasia. The subjects underwent the surgery uneventfully. Intraoperatively, 2-4 biliary fistula orifices were found, with the average of the orifice being (0.79±0.20) cm. After the operation, one patient developed incision infection, one had pulmonary infection and one suffered from reflux cholangitis. No anastomotic leaks or peri-operative deaths took place and follow-up revealed no recurrence and implantative metastasis. We are led to conclude that pericystectomy in combination with Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy can achieve satisfactory results for the treatment of complicated hepatic cystic hydatidosis with intrabiliary rupture.
