68 NIH Mice (24-25g) were divided into three groups. Group A was normal control, group B was treated with 54% alcohol in the beverages 0.25ml/per day, and group C was administrated 54% alcohol mixed with folic acid 0.25ml/per day. The histochemical reaction and ultrastructural changes in liver were observed. The reaction of glycogen (PAS reaction), Mg-ATPase SDH LDH G-6-Pasc and ACP was demonstrated respectively by Chayen's, Wachstein-Meisel, Lojda, Bancroft's method, and some procedures of these techniques were modified. The results showed that under the protection effect of acid folic, the regularities seemed to be present in the changes of the following histochemical reactions in the liver cells of the group C (treaded by acid folic) the PAS reaction and the activities of Mg-ATPase SDH LDH G-6-Pase were similar to the group A and apparently higher than that in group B. The activities of ACP were lower those in group B(P

Objective To observe the change of serum smooth muscle myosin heavy chain (smMHC) level in the patients with aortic dissection (AD),and evaluate the effect of smMHC in the early diagnosis and prognosis of AD.Methods Forty-two patients with AD were selected as AD group,30 healthy subjects were selected as control group.Blood samples were collected at four time periods (within 3 h of onset,6 h,12 h,24 h),and serum smMHC level were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results Serum smMHC level of AD group,which collected (within 3 h of onset,6 h,12 h) were significantly higher than that of control group [(88.6 ±21.7),(59.4 ± 18.7),(41.3 ± 10.7) ng/L vs.(17.2 ± 8.3) ng/L,P ＜ 0.01].There was no significant difference between the serum smMHC level of AD group and control group at 24 h after onset [(18.9 ±9.5) ng/L vs.(17.2 ±8.3) ng/L,P ＞ 0.05].Serum smMHC level of Stanford A type group (25 cases) was higher than that of Stanford B type group (17 cases) within 3 h of onset [(95.4 ± 17.8) ng/L vs.(78.5 ± 18.3) ng/L,P＜0.01],and there was no significant difference bewteen the two groups which collected at 6,12 h and 24 h after onset (P ＞ 0.05).Preoperative serum smMHC level was significantly higher than that after intracavitary isolation operation [(58.6 ± 15.9) ng/L vs.(30.1 ± 12.5) ng/L,P ＜ 0.01].Serum smMHC level decreased rapidly after the operation,and there was no significant difference between the two grougs when 12 h after operation [(18.7 ± 8.9) ng/L vs.(17.2 ± 8.3) ng/L,P ＞ 0.05].The serum smMHC level of the deaths (7 cases),which collected within 3 h of onset,6 h,12 h,was significantly higher than that of the survivors (35 cases) [(101.2 ± 20.7) ng/L vs.(86.1 ± 18.9) ng/L,(65.2 ± 16.7) ng/L vs.(58.2 ± 14.2) ng/L,(50.4 ± 10.8) ng/L vs.(39.5 ± 8.3) ng/L,P ＜ 0.05],and there was no significant difference at 24 h after onset (P ＞ 0.05).Detecting serum smMHC level within 3 h of onset,the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.913,with 51.7 ng/L as a diagnostic critical value,sensitivity and specificity respectively was 88.1％ (37/42) and 96.7％ (29/30).When detecting at 6 h after onset,the area under the curve was 0.865,with 38.5 ng/L as a diagnostic critical value,sensitivity and specificity respectively was 90.4％(38/42) and 90.0％ (27/30).Conclusions The level of serum smMHC in patients with AD increase rapidly after onset,and detecting serum smMHC level within 6 h of onset have important clinical significance in early diagnosis and prognosis of AD.

Objective: To explore the effect of probucol on enzyme and receptors of high density lipoprotein (HDL) during reverse cholesterol transportation in experimental rabbits with atherosclerosis. Methods: A total of 24 New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups: Control group, the rabbits were fed by normal diet, High cholesterol group, the rabbits were fed by high cholesterol diet and Probucol group, the rabbits were fed by high cholesterol diet with probucol.n=8 in each group, all animals were treated for 12 weeks. Blood levels of lipids were examined by colorimetric method, serum lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) and cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP) were detected by ELISA, expressions of ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) and scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) in aortic plaque were measured by immunohistochemistry; the above indexes were compared among different groups.
Results: ① for blood lipids by mmol/L, the following indexes in Probucol group were lower than High cholesterol group: TC (15.95±1.51 vs 21.95±3.71), LDL-C (13.01±2.28 vs 17.90±3.51), HDL-C (0.56±0.10 vs 1.13±0.12), all P<0.01.② the following perimeters in High cholesterol group were lower than Control group: for CETP by μg/ml (1.24±0.54 vs 2.07±0.64), for LCAT by μg/ml (15.02±3.81 vs 27.01±8.26), all P<0.05; compared with High cholesterol group, Probucol group had increased CETP (3.43±1.01) and LCAT (38.10±7.96), all P<0.05. ③ positive expressions of ABCA1 and SR-BI in aortic plaque in Probucol group were higher than High cholesterol group: for ABCA1 by % (46.81±10.01 vs 24.10±8.48), for SR-BI by % (48.04±10.90 vs 18.61±6.77), all P<0.01.
Conclusion: Probucol may increase blood levels of LCAT, CETP via up-regulating the expressions of ABCA1, SR-B1 and elevating the reverse cholesterol transportation of HDL, therefore improve HDL function in experimental rabbits with atherosclerosis.

Objective To explore the clinical value of virtual touch quantification technique(VTQ)and fibroscan technique for the diagnosis of hepatic fibrosis.Methods A total of 1 02 patients with chronic liver disease and 78 normal individuals were enrolled in the study.They were all examined with VTQ and fibroscan technique.Pathological results were used as standard criterion.Results The liver tissue riqidity was associated with pathological results.The coefficient of relativity was 0.43309(VTQ)and 0.35840(Fibroscan).ROC curve displayed that VTQ value of 1.4 m/s and fibroscan value of 7.75 kPa can be used to differential diagnose the lowgrade liver fibrosis and high-grade liver fibrosis.The probability of success was 100 0A(102/102)and 100%(78/78)by VTQ,but 88%(90/102)and 100%(78/78)by fibroscan technique.Conclusions VTQ and fibroscan technique are useful in the diagnosis of hepatic fibrosis.Compared with fibroscan technique,VTQ has more advantages in sensitivity practicability and convenience.

Objective To explore the clinical value of virtual touch quantification (VTQ) technique in assessing the hepatic fibrosis. Methods A total of 115 inpatients with chronic liver disease receiving liver biopsy were enrolled in this study, all patients liver tissue was checked by VTQ technique, and the results were compared with those of the control group including 80 healthy subjects. Results VTQ value was significantly different between the two groups (P = 0.0000).The VTQ value among different degree of hepatic fibrosis but between S0 and S1 had statistical significances (P = 0.0212, P = 0.0000).ROC curve displayed that VTQ value of 1.4 m/s could be used to diagnose middle-high-grade liver fibrosis, the sensitivity and specificity were 85.4 % and 64.7%, respectively. Conclusions VTQ can be used as a noninvasive and effective means for assessing the degree of hepatic fibrosis.

The protective effect of vitamin E and the change in activity of enzymes at hepatic injury by carbon tetrachloride(CCl_4) were studied with histochcmical methods. 60 rats were devided into three groups(A,B,C). The group A was untreated control; the animals of group B and C were injected(i. m.) with 0.9% NaCl 1 ml/100g or vitamin E 1 ml/100g body weight qd for 7 days respectively and then treated with 30% CCl_4 0.05ml/l00g by adding to the solution of NaCl or vitamin E from 8th to 14th days. On the 15th day, rats were sacrificed for histochemical study of the liver parenchyma. The results showed that the activity of SDH, G-6-Pase, ATPase, 5-NT or AcP in liver lobules of groups B and C animals were changed conspicuously after treatment with CCl_4. The quantitative histochemistry of SDH and G-6-Pase was also consistent with these results. The activity of SDH, G-6-Pase, ATPase and 5-NT were inhibited, but of AcP was elevated. As compared with those in the rats of group A, the changes however in group B appeared more obviously than those in group C. The results indicated that CCl_4 of the given dose induced acute damage in liver cells, while vitamin E had important protective effect against acute liver damag induced by CCl_4.

Objective:To explore therapeutic effects of sodium nitroprusside (SNP) combined verapamil on no-reflow during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods: A total of 106 patients, who suffered from no-reflow during PCI in our department from Jan 2011 to Dec 2013, were selected.According to random number table method, patients were divided into SNP group (n=55, received SNP based on routine treatment) and combined treatment group (n=51, received verapamil based on SNP group).Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) level before and 16h~18h after PCI, cardiac function indexes after 12-month follow-up, incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were measured and compared between two groups.Results: Compared with before PCI, there were significant rise in cTnI level in both groups on 16~18h after PCI, P=0.001 both;compared with SNP group, there were significant reductions in cTnI level [(1.31±0.44)μg/L vs.(0.11±0.02)μg/L] and percentage of cTnI>0.10μg/L (94.5% vs.54.9%) in combined treatment group, P=0.001 both.Compared with SNP group after 12 months, there was significant rise in left ventricular ejection fraction [(62.29±3.06)% vs.(65.65±3.94)%], and significant reductions in left ventricular end-diastolic dimension[(50.24±3.73)mm vs.(47.60±4.72)mm] and left ventricular end-systolic dimension [(33.29±2.11)mm vs.(31.00±4.33)mm] in combined treatment group, P<0.05 all.There were no significant adverse reactions during hospitalization and follow-up in both groups.Conclusion: When no-reflow occurs during PCI, intracoronary injection of SNP combined verapamil can improve cardiac function, and its safety is good, which is worth extending.

Objective To analyze the difference of salivary microbiome between the patients with functional dyspepsia and healthy controls.Methods Saliva samples were collected from the patients with functional dyspepsia and healthy control.Genomic DNA of the samples was extracted,and the high-throughput sequencing technology was used to conduct DNA sequence of 16S rRNA-V4 region.Subsequently,all the data were performed by the bioinformatic analysis.Results The salivary microbiome in the functional dyspepsia group was dominated by Proteobacteria,while Bacteroidetes was the top microbiota in the heathy control group.In the functional dyspepsia group,the Chao1 index,ACE index,Shannon index and Simpson index were 1 295,1 351,4.93 and 0.90 respectively.In the healthy control group,the above indexes were 1 001,1 351,5.28 and 0.92 respectively.The PCoA ba sically separated the microbiome composition of the two groups.Sixteen kinds of microbiota were significantly different between two groups using linear discriminant analysis effect size tool,including Bacteroidetes,Prevotella,Prevotellaceae,Neisseria,Betaproteobacteria and Proteobacteria,etc.Conclusion Saliva in the patients with functional dyspesia has characteristic microbiome composition,which is dominated by Proteobacteria,but the richness and diversity between the two groups have no difference.Neisseria is one of the significantly different bacteria between the two groups.

Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of singular double antithrombotie therapy (DT) using warfarin plus clopidogrel and the combined antithrombotie therapy of 3-month triple antithrombotie therapy (TT) using warfarin, aspirinand clopidogrel and 9-month double antithrombotie therapy (DT) for the patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing PCI. Methods Ninety patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing PCI were randomly divided into two groups evenly: one group was treated with dual antithrombotic therapy group (DT) and the other group with the combined therapy, e. g. 3-month triple antithrombotie therapy (TT) and 9-month double antithrombotie therapy (DT + TT for short). All patients were followed-up by 12 months. The two groups were compared in terms of incidences of death , myocardial infarction , stroke , target-vessel revascularisation , stent thrombosis and bleeding adverse events. Results The incidences of myocardial infarction, stroke, target-vessel revascularisation , stent thrombosis and bleeding adverse events in the TT + DT group were all significantly lower than the DT group (P < 0.05). The follow-up on the safety indicated that the rate of bleeding in the TT +DT group was insignificantly higher than the DT group (P > 0.05). Conclusion There is no significant difference in safety between the two groups. However, the therapy of TT + DT is more effective.
