Objective To study the two-phase flow dynamics distribution and red blood cell distribution under the fluid-solid coupling interaction in left coronary artery at the typical time point within one cardiac cycle,and to investigate the formation and development mechanisms of left coronary artery atherosclerotic plaque Methods The blood was regarded as a two-phase fluid.Based on fluid-solid interaction between blood and vascular wall,the computational fluid dynamics method was used to make the transient numerical simulation of two-phase flow in the left coronary artery under fluid-solid interaction;the distribution of blood flow in the left coronary artery at the typical time point within one cardiac cycle was studied,the relationship between hemodynamic parameters and the formation of atherosclerotic plaque was analyzed.Results A lowspeed eddy zone existed in an area between the distal segment of circumferential branch and the proximal outside of blunt-edge branch of the left coronary artery,where both internal wall shear stress and red blood cell volume fraction were very small and the blood flow pattern was very complicated.Conclusion At the lowspeed eddy zone that carries small wall shear stress,the lipid concentration polarization and macromolecular material deposition are easy to be produced.The area that has less red blood cells is liable to develop hypoxia,resulting in increased vascular wall permeability and intimal injury,which will activate the immune system,causing lipid accumulation in vascular wall and intimal hyperplasia and,thus,to induce the formation of atherosclerotic plaque.(J Intervent Radiol,2017,26:253-257)

Objective To investigate the effect of labor induction of full-term pregnancy use of oxytocin,and the incidence of adverse reactions of mode of delivery of cervical dilatation balloon with pubeisheng.Methods The clinical data of full-term pregnant women who were delivered in our hospital from October 2014 to November 2015 were retrospectively analyzed,According to the induction of labor is divided into the way of pubeisheng group and cervical dilation balloon group.The differences of delivery mode,oxytocin utilization,maternal and neonatal outcomes and adverse reactions were observed between the two groups.Results Cervical dilatation balloon group vaginal delivery rate was 90.38％,higher than that of pubeisheng group(P<0.05); oxytocin use rate of 11.54％,lower than that of pubeisheng group(P<0.05); Cervical dilatation balloon group first,second and third labor time is shorter pubeisheng group(P<0.001); The cervical dilation balloon group bleeding more than pubeisheng group(P<0.001),two groups of infection,urinary retention complication rate had no significant difference.Two groups of neonatal aspiration pneumonia incidence rate had no significant difference after the birth of 1min Apgar score difference,and cervical dilatation balloon group after the birth of 5min Apgar was higher than that of pubeisheng group(P<0.05).Conclusion The application of cervical dilation balloon in the induction of labor in term pregnancy is better,which can significantly improve the rate of vaginal delivery,reduce the use rate of oxytocin and shorten the labor process,and has the value of clinical application.

Background and purpose: Previous studies have confirmed that the expression of leucine-rich repeat-containing 3B (CLRRC3B) was significantly decreased in different human cancers, which was also associated with the migration and invasion of cancer cells. The aim of this study was to explore the potential mechanism of LRRC3B in the development of esophageal cancer. Methods: The LRRC3B expression was detected in 60 cancer tissues and 60 adjacent non-neoplastic tissues by immunohistochemistry. The mRNA and protein expression of LRRC3B in Eca109 and HEECs were detected using real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RTFQ-PCR) and Western blot, respectively. Eca109 cells with different treatments were divided into three groups:normal group, negative control group (transfected with pCMV6 plasmid), overexpression LRRC3B group (transfected with pCMV6-LRRC3B plasmid). Transwell assay was used to measure the migration and invasion of Eca109 cells in different groups. The protein levels of E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Vimentin and p-Akt were determined by Western blot. Results: The expression of LRRC3B in esophageal cancer tissues was lower than that of non-cancerous tissues, as well as the expression of LRRC3B in Eca109 was decreased compared with that of normal esophageal epithelial cell line HEEC. Overexpression of LRRC3B significantly inhibited Eca109 cells migration and invasion, upregulated the expression of E-cadherin and decreased the expression of N-cadherin and Vimentin. Moreover, overexpression of LRRC3B significantly inhibited the phosphorylation of Akt in Eca109 cells. Conclusion: The expression of LRRC3B was decreased in esophageal cancer. Overexpression of LRRC3B can efficiently inhibit the EMT progression in esophageal cancer cells by suppressing PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Objective To study the influence of general anesthesia and epidural anesthesia on postoperative short-term cognitive function in the elderly patients undergoing orthopedics surgery.Methods 120 patients with hip joint displacement or internal fixation after femur fracture and American Society of Anesthesiology Ⅰ and Ⅱ were randomly divided into general anesthesia and epidural anesthesia groups(n=60 for each group).Artery blood pressure(ABP)and heart rate were recorded before operation,pre-operation after anesthesia,during 30 min operation,during main operation and at operation end.Cognitive function was detected by mini-mental state(MMS)before induction of anesthesia and 6 h,12 h,24 h and 72 h after anesthesia.Results There were no differences in ABP and heart rate during operation between the two groups(P＞0.05).The scores of MMS in general anesthesia group at 6 h(26.5±0.5),12 h(25.4±0.7)and 24 h(27.4±0.3)were decreased as compared with pre-induction of anesthesia(29.5 ± 0.3)(P＜ 0.05),while no difference was found at 72 h(29.3±0.3).The scores of MMS in epidural anesthesia group at 6 h(26.6±0.4)and 12 h(25.6±0.8)were lower(P＜0.05),while had no difference at 24 h(29.1±0.4)and 72 h (29.5±0.4)(P＞0.05)as compared with pre-induction of anesthesia(29.4±0.4).At 24 h after anesthesia,the MMS scores were higher in epidural anesthesia group(29.1±0.4)than in general anesthesia group(27.4±0.3)(P＜0.01).Conclusions General anesthesia may contribute to more obvious influences on cognitive function than epidural anaesthesias within 12h after operation in the elderly patients undergoing orthopedics surgery.

Objective To analyze the risk factors of the patients with gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM),to explore the effect of GDMon pregnancy outcome,and provide reference for early clinical prevention and intervention. Methods Randomly selected 220 GDMpatients who were treated from January 2014 to January 2016 as the observa-tion group,and collected 236 cases of non -diabetic pregnant women in our hospital during the same period as control group.Retrospectively analyzed the risk factors of GDM and the effect of GDM on pregnant women and neonates by questionnaires and clinical data.Results Single factor analysis and Logistic regression analysis showed that the age, history of diabetes,body mass index(BMI)before pregnancy,BMI before 1 week of childbirth and weight of oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT)were the risk factors of GDM(OR =2.988,5.684,4.255,3.765,3.051;P =0.003, 0.000,0.000,0.024,0.021 ).The incidences of phydramnion,postpartum hemorrhage,pregnancy period hyperten-sion,premature rupture,premature birth,cesarean section and ketoacidosis in the observation group were higher than the control group,and the differences were statistically significant (χ2 =5.539,11.338,14.103,4.527,8.160, 4.719;P =0.019,0.001,0.000,0.033,0.004,0.030).The incidence of newborn malformation,asphyxia,fetal distress and macrosomia in observation group were higher than the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(χ2 =4.929,5.539,4.163,5.950;P =0.026,0.019,0.041,0.015).Conclusion The age,history of diabetes,BMI before pregnancy,BMI before 1 week of childbirth and weight of OGTT were the risk factors of GDM, which should pay close attention to these people and take corresponding treatment measures,so as to improve the adverse outcome of maternal and infant in clinic.

Objective To investigate the effects of CNTN-1 on the invasion and migration of human esophageal cancer EC9706 cells and the possible mechanism.Methods The expression of CNTN-1 in human esophageal cancer EC9706 cells was measured by qPCR and Western blot.After transfection with CNTN-1 siRNA or CNTN-1, the cells were divided into control group, scrambled siRNA group, CNTN-1 siRNA group, pcDNA3.1-vector group and pcDNA3.1-CNTN-1 group.Cell proliferation, invasion and migration were respectively analyzed by BrdU assay and Transwell test.The expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were detected by qPCR and Western blot.Results The mRNA and protein expression of CNTN-1 were significantly upregulated in EC9706 cells.Compared with control, cell proliferation, invasion and migration, as well as the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were significantly decreased by CNTN-1 siRNA, while they were increased by CNTN-1 overexpression (P<0.05).ConclusionsCNTN-1 can influence the invasion and metastasis of esophageal cancer cells through the regulation of the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9.

Objective To study the pain controlling effects of non-pharmaceutical interventions in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) setting. Methods Infants who received radial artery puncture were assigned into control group, non-nutritive sucking (NNS) group and NNS plus glucose (NNS + GS) group according to their admission sequences. Each group contained 20 patients. Heart rate ( HR), respiratory rate (RR) and oxygen saturation (SpO2 ) before and after the procedure were monitored using Multi-Parameter Monitor ECG. Neonatal pain was evaluated using the preterm infant pain profile (PIPP). Results Among all three groups, after radial artery puncture, HR and RR were significantly increased, and SpO2 was significantly decreased (P < 0. 01). HR, RR and SpO2 variations in NNS group and NNS + GS group were less significant than the control group (P < 0. 05), and recovered to baseline more quickly. During the radial artery puncture, PIPP scores of infants in NNS and NNS + GS group were significantly lower than the control group (P < 0. 01), with NNS + GS group lower than NNS group (P <0. 05). Conclusions HR, RR and SpO2 can be used as physiological indicators of neonatal pain. PIPP score is simple and practical to be used in NICU setting. Both NNS and NNS + GS can partially relieve neonatal pain, and NNS + GS works better.
