Objective To study effects of early intensive atorvastatin treatment in patients with acute coro- nary syndrome.Methods A total of 196 patients with acute coronary syndrome were divided into two groups ran- domly:one group had 101 patients and were given low dose atorvastatin(10mg/d)for 30 days and the other group had 95 patients and took large dose atorvastatin(80mg/d)for 30 days.The serum levels of serum lipid,MMp-1, MMP-9 and high sensitivity-C reactive protein(hs-CRP)were detected before and after therapy.Some clinical data such as symptoms and treadmill exercise test were compared before taking medicine and every week later in the total of 30 days.Results 30 days later,the levels of MMP-1,MMP-9,hs-CRP decreased significantly and had statistical difference between two groups(P

Objective To evaluate effects of irbesartan and low dose amiodarone in patinets with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation who had normal heart function,and long-term therapeutic effect of maintain sinus rhythm.Methods A total of 142 patinets with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation were divided into two groups randomly:amiodarone group(n = 72),irbesartan and amiodarone group(n = 72),term of follow-up was 18 months.First class end point was atrial fibrillation recrudescence.The post-treatment rate of maintain sinus rhythm,and inner diameter of left au- ricle at pretherapy and post-treatment for 6,12,18 months with amiodarone group and irbesartan and amiodarone group were compared.Results After treatment for 12 months,inner diameter of left auricle in amiodarone group ex- ceeded irbesartan and amiodarone group(P

Objective To investigate effects of early administration of high-dose rosuvastatin(40 mg) on coronary microvascular function and short-term outcome in patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute myocardial infarction(AMI). Methods Ninety-four consequent AMI patients treated with primary PCI were divided into rosuvastatin group (50 patients) and control group (44 group). The infarct-related artery flow of epicardium was classified in compliance with the TIMI criteria. Myocardial and microvascular perfusion was assessed using the TMPG. The incidence of the MACE and the cytotoxicity and hepatotoxicity of rosuvastatin was respectively recorded in 30 d follow-up period. Results Either patients in the rosuvastatin group or in the control group showed better TMPG immediately after PCI (P<0.05), compared with that before treatment. However, the post-PCI TMPG of the rosuvastatin group was obviously much better than that of control group (P<0.05). Compared with that in control group, the 30-day composite MACE rate was lower in rosuvastatin group and in the TMPG 3 patients of rosuvastatin group:12.0%(6/50) vs. 34.1%(15/44), P<0.05;11.1%(3/27) vs. 42.9%(6/14). There was no cytotoxicity and hepatotoxicity in two groups. Conclusions Early administration of high-dose rosuvastatin (40 mg) can improve coronary microvascular function and short-term outcome in patients treated with primary PCI for AMI, and it is efficient and safety.

OBJECTIVE To study the possibility of acellular bony microtubule used to construct tissue engineering ossicular prosthesis. METHODS To prepare the acellular bony microtubule, observe the change of its histocompatibility and biomechanics. The acellular bony microtubule carried with collagen/ BMP-2 was implanted into the middle ear of the animals. The ectopic osteogenesis was observed. RESULTS The acellular bony microtubule has good histocompatibility. There wasn’t significant change about biomechanics. After carried with collagen/BMP-2, the bony microtubule can induce osteogenesis in the animal’s middle ear. CONCLUSION The acellular bony microtubule carried with collagen/BMP-2 has the possibility to be used to construct tissue engineering ossicular prosthesis.

Objective To explore the rehabilitation effect of group education intervention in self-control on schizophrenic patients. Methods 112 schizophrenic patients were divided into study group (56 cases) and control group (56 cases). Two groups were treated with antipsychotics. The control group was subjected to general healthy education, while the study group received education intervention of self-control. All patients of two groups were assessed by Self-care Behavior Questionnaire(SCBQ), Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale(BPRS) and Social Disability Screening Schedule(SDSS) before and affter intervention, and drug-compliance was also assessed.Results After one year, the total score of SCBQ was significantly higher in the study group than in the control group, while the total scores of BPRS and SDSS were significantly lower in the study group than in the control group (P<0.01); Drug-compliance was significantly more in the study group than in the control group(P<0.01).Conclusion Group education intervention of self-control can improve distinctly the ability of self-control disease, have positive effect on remission psychical symptom, and improve the social function and retention psychosomatic healthy.

Objective To investigate the morbidity of anomalous coronary origin from the opposite coronary sinus, which may cause sudden death of young athletes in Chinese population.And to identify the imaging characteristics of this anomaly and its clinical significance combined with literature review.Methods The computed tomographic coronary angiography (CTCA) database at TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital was reviewed.All of the patients diagnosed with isolated anomalous origin of a coronary artery from the opposite sinus of valsalva (anomalous origin of coronary artery, AOCA) and subsequent coursing between the pulmonary artery and the aorta were collected from 14 343 Chinese individuals.The location of anomalous coronary origin, the shape and course of the proximal ectopic arterial segments were identified.The nonatherosclerostic stenotic caliber of the segments and the angle between the ectopic coronary artery and the adjacent aortic wall were assessed.Results Seventy-four patients of AOCA (including the left or right single coronary artery) were diagnosed using CTCA.Among the 74 cases, the potentially serious course of the ectopic coronary artery between the pulmonary artery and the aorta were identified in 59 individuals.Fifty-six cases of ectopic right coronary with interarterial course (anomalous origin of right coronary artery, AORCA) and three patients with anomalous origin of the left coronary artery (AOLCA) were found, including two cases judged as potentially serious origin of either single left coronary artery (n=1) or single right coronary artery (n=1).The morbidity of the potentially serious anomalous origin of coronary artery in Chinese population was established as 4.1‰ (59/14 343).In the subgroup of AORCA, the lumen of initial ectopic segment was frequently compressed and stenotic.In 29 cases (52.7%) the stenosis of the lumen were more than 50%, and in 3 cases (5.4%) the stenosis of the ectopic coronary artery were more than 70%.The incidence of AORCA was 17.7 times higher (56/3) than that of AOLCA in Chinese population.Conclusions Nowadays CTCA is considered the most useful imaging technique in identifying the origin, shape and course of ectopic initial segment of the coronary artery.The significance of these anatomic characteristics, that may induce sudden death in Chinese young athletes, need to be investigated further.

This study is to report the establishment of an UPLC-MS/MS method for the determination of plasma concentration of UA carried in self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) and its pharmacokinetics in rats. It was used for determination and analysis when serum with internal standard was extracted from C18 solid-phase column. Acquity UPLC BEH C18 column (100 mm x 2.1 mm, 1.7 microm) was used for separation. The mobile phase was acetonitrile -0.1% ammonia with gradient elution at the flow rate of 0.2 mL x min(-1). The column temperature was 40 degrees C and the detection wave length was 210 nm. It was detected by negative ion using electrospray ionization source (ESI) and scanned by multiple reaction ion monitoring (MRM) mode. The liner relationship of UA was very good in the range of 1.19-3 815.00 ng x mL(-1) (r = 0.999 0). Recovery rate of different concentrations were 87.42%-89.95%. The precision of inter-day and intra-day were less than 11%. The method developed in our study was proved to be sensitive, rapid and simple. It is suitable for the pharmacokinetic study of UA-SMEDDS in rats.

Objective To analyze the operative therapeutic effect of proximal femoral nail antirotation blade (PFNA),dynamic hip screw (DHS) and femoral proximal locking compression plate (LCP)internal fixation in treatment with femoral intertrochanteric fracture of the aged.Methods Seventy-three aged patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture were divided into 3 groups according to different internal fixation method:PFNA group (30 cases) was treated with PFNA internal fixation,DHS group (22 cases) was treated with DHS internal Fxation,LCP group (21 cases) was treated with LCP internal fixation.The operative time,intraoperative bleeding volume,fracture healing time,bad limb load time and hip joint function score were compared among the 3 groups.Results The operative time in PFNA group,DHS group and LCP group was (73.9 ± 8.5),(82.3 ± 10.6),(79.5 ± 11.2) min,there was statistical difference between PFNA group and DHS group (P ＜ 0.05),but there was no statistical difference between PFNA group and LCP group (P＞ 0.05).The intraoperative bleeding volume in PFNA group was significantly lower than that in DHS group and LCP group [(160.2 ± 15.6) ml vs.(208.4 ± 20.2) and (216.6 ml ± 24.9) ml],there was statistical difference (P ＜0.05).The fracture healing time and bad limb load time in PFNA group were significantly shorter than those in DHS group and LCP group [(97.4 ± 5.8) d vs.(101.2 ± 4.2),(110.0 ±8.3) d and (78.0 ±5.4) d vs.(85.9 ±7.6),(90.8±6.0) d],furtbermore DHS group were significantly shorter than those in LCP group,there were statistical differences among the 3 groups (P ＜ 0.05).There were no statistical differences in excellent and good rate of hip joint function score among the 3 groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions PFNA is the ideal therapeutic method for femoral intertrochanteric fracture of the aged.It has better curative effect compared to the DHS and LCP,and has less surgical trauma and can shorten the recovery time.

This study aimed at identifying pig-hide gelatin from tortoise shell glue using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray-time of flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS).The samples of tortoise shell glue were digested by trypsin before the analysis on UPLC coupled with QTOF mass spectrometry.The ions at m/z 925.4 were selected as the marker peptides of pig-hide gelatin.It was found that the test results of the ions at m/z 925.4 were positive in the samples with low contents of the marker peptides of tortoise shell glue,indicating the existence of pig-hide gelatin.However,the result of bovine-hide gelatinordonkey-hide gelatin was negative,while negative results were detected in tortoiseglue standard.The finding was in conformity with previous references over the fragmentation regularity of MS/MS.In conclusion,the method can be adopted to identifying the pig-hide gelatin from tortoise shell glue and applied to the quality control of tortoise shell glue with high specificity and sensibility.

This study aimed at developing an ultra-performance liquid chromatography electrospray time of flight-mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS) method for the identification of bovine hide gelatine from the shell glue of the red-eared slider.Tortoise shell glue was made from the shell of red-eared slider or Reeves' turtle (Chinemys reevesii).The samples were analyzed on UPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS after being digested by trypsin,and the ions at m/z 604.8,m/z 641.3,m/z 790.8 of the marker peptides of bovine hide gelatin were detected.As a result,it was found that the test results of the ions made from the shell of red-eared slider at m/z 641.3 were positive,taking the same fragmentation regularity of MS/MS as the standard of bovine-hide gelatine,while negative results were detected from the ions made from the shell of Reeves' turtle.In conclusion,the method was simple and accurate provided a basis for distinguishing the tortoise shell glue from bovine hide,which could be also used for the quality control of tortoise shell glue.
