Objective To explore the changes in serum concentrations of angiogenic factors in patients with unstable angina pectoris.Methods A total of 60 patients with unstable angina pectoris was eligible for study and divided into diabetes group ( A group, n =20) and non-diabetes group (B group, n =40).Another 30 general-matched healthy subjects from medical examination center were enrolled as control group .Serum samples were collected , and serum concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), angiopoietin-1, angiopoietin-2, angiogenin, angiostatin, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and platelet-derived growth factor-BB ( PDGF-BB) were measured by cytokine array technology and compared between the groups .Results Compared with the control group, the serum concentrations of VEGF [(325.2 ±210.1)pg/ml] and angiopoietin-2 [(3031.3 ±1865.5)pg/ml] were sig-nificantly increased in patients with unstable angina pectoris (both P <0.05).Whereas,no significant differences in serum concentra-tions of angiogenin,angiopoietin-1,angiostatin,bFGF,and PDGF-BB were detected between control group and patient groups .There were no significant differences in serum concentrations of above all 7 biomarkers between diabetes group and non-diabetes group .Con-clusions Serum concentrations of VEGF and angiopoietin-2 were increased in patients with unstable angina pectoris ,and diabetes didn't affect the increases in serum concentrations of VEGF and angiopoietin-2 caused by unstable angina pectoris .

BACKGROUND:How to effectively improve the airway management and improve oxygen supply at the same time through a simple and effective method becomes an operation key for physicians in fiberoptic bronchoscopy. OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical effect of self-made simple masks in painless fiberoptic bronchoscopy. METHODS:A total of 60 patients receiving painless fiberoptic bronchoscopy, 32 males and 28 females, with a mean age of (57.8±10.9) years were randomized into two groups: test group with self-made simple mask during painless fiberoptic bronchoscopy and control group with laryngeal mask. In the course of examination, the changes of oxygen saturation, mean arterial pressure and heart rate were observed at different time points. And adverse events of both groups were also recorded. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Patients from both groups successfuly completed fibre bronchoscopy. The oxygen saturation, mean arterial pressure and heart rate in the two groups were not significantly different (P > 0.05). However, the test group (one case of bucking) was superior to the control group (seven cases of sore throat) in terms of adverse events (P < 0.05). The simple mask can improve the oxygen supply and reduce the adverse events.

Objective:To find out the characteristic topog ra phic distribution of the muscle spindles in human masseter.Methods: The muscle spindles of masseter on both sides of 5 human corpses fixed in for malin for more than 1 year were observed by histological technique and quantitat ively analyzed by picture analysis equipment.Results: The muscle spindles were maldistributed and the spindles were commonly clustered in some i ndividual portions,and the muscle spindles figures of the masseter were diversif orm,which were predominantly composed of the spindle simple and spindle complexe s. The spindle complexes in the deep portion was obviously more than that in the superficial. The muscle spindles in the muscle close to the temporomandibular j oint and muscle tendon in the deep portion were more than that in the other port ions.Conclusion:The distribution of muscle spindles in the masse ter is heterogeneous,muscle spindle density in the deep portion is greater than that in the superficial.

Objective: To study the architectural features and the biomechanical properties of human masseter and temporolis muscles. Methods: The architecture parameters of masseter and temporolis muscles on both sides of 5 human corpes fixed in formalin for more than 1 year were measured and quantitatively analyzed. Results: Human masseter and temporolis muscles were multipennate, there existed many layers of aponeurosis to which muscle fibers attached especially within the superficial portion of the masseter. The parameters of superficial portion of the masseter were statistically different from those of the deep portion, so were those of anterior portion of temporolis from those of posterior portion; the posterior part of the temporolis was the heaviest, the deep of the masseter the lightest. The physiological cross-sectional area of the superficial part of masseter was the largest, the posterior of temporolis the second, the anterior of temporolis the third, and the deep of the masseter the smallest. Among the ratios of muscle weight vs physiological cross-sectional area in each portion of the masseter and temporolis, the ratio in the deep part of masseter was the largest, that in the posterior of temporolis the smallest, that in the superficial of the masseter was similar to that in the anterior of the temporolis. In addition, the fiber in the posterior of the temporolis was the longest and that in the deep of the masseter the shortest. Conclusion: The deep portion of masseter is designed for force production, the posterior of the temporolis for velocity production, and the superficial of the masseter and the anterior of the temporolis for both force and velocity production. The deep part of masseter and the anterior of temporolis play an important part in maintaining mandibular position and balence, and the superficial of masseter and the posterior of temporolis play a major role in producing occlusive force and mandibular fast retrusion.
