2.China Heart Failure Registry Study——A Multicenter, Prospective Investigation for Preliminary Analysis on Etiology, Clinical Features and Treatment in Heart Failure Patients
Chinese Circulation Journal 2015;30(5):413-416
Objective: China Heart Failure Registry Study (China-HF) is aimed to understand the etiology, clinical features and treatment of in-hospital heart failure (HF) patients in China. Methods: Based on geographic region and economic condition, we prospectively recruited the in-hospital patients with primarily diagnosed HF, and the demographic information, etiology, clinical features and treatment condition were collected by electronic case report form in all patients. Results: A total of 8516 HF patients from 88 participating hospitals between 2012-01 and 2014-12 were analyzed. The average age of patients was at 66 years with 54.5% male. There were 6777/7997 (84.7%) patients with NYHA functional classiifcation at III-IV, 4207/8516 (49.4%) with coronary artery disease (CAD), 4649 (54.6%) with hypertension, 2109/7102 (29.7%) with chronic kidney disease and 2478/6608 (37.5%) with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 40%. The patients with infection 3909/8516 (45.9%) and exertion or stress 2214 (26.0%) and myocardial ischemia 1967 (23.1%) were the major cause of HF worsening. There were 6165/8516 (72.4%) patients treated by intravenous diuretics during hospitalization, and after discharge, 5722 (67.2%) patients received oral loop diuretics, 2563 (30.1%) received angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, 2095 (24.6%) received angiotensin II receptor antagonist. The median length of in-hospital stay was 11 days and the in-hospital mortality was 5.3% (451/8516). Conclusion: China-HF provides a comprehensive insight of clinical features for the in-hospital HF patients in China. There is still a gap for medications between our current condition and the guideline, it is important to educate both patients and physicians in clinical practice.

Along with the frequent international communication of TCM, translation of related classics becomes increasingly important. The translation of TCM classics' titles, which reveal the content of the classics, is equally essential. Dictated by the translating principles of standardization, correspondence, readability and nationalism, the paper analyzed the translation of TCM classics' titles containing modesty words, and put forward the following translation strategies translation: The method of foreignization is preferred for the translation of titles involving heterogeneous culture in order to retain the unique TCM concept while the method of domestication is advised for the translation of titles involving elements in conflict with the target culture; In the translation of TCM classics' titles containing modesty word(s), weakening or omitting the sense of self-depreciation is proposed. The paper aimed to contribute to the standardization of TCM nomenclature translation in order to promote international dissemination of TCM classics.

Purpose:To study whether the inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt survival pathway could sensitize the response of tumor cells to some chemotherapyeutic agents. Methods:The different tumor cells has been treated with the combination of isoform specific Akt inhibitor and either adriamycin or camptothecin; the quantitation of the induction of apoptosis by drugs has been estimated with caspase 3 assay; immunoprecipitation western blotting has been used to evaluate the inhibition of the phosphorylation of different isoforms of Akt after the treatment. Results:①The inhibitors could reduce the phosphorylation of Threonine 308 and Serine 473 of isoform specific Akt. ②The inhibition of any one isoform specific Akt could not reverse the resistance of tumor cells tested to chemotherapeutic drugs, but it is not the same case if blocking of two isoforms of both Akt1 and Akt2 was done at the same time. ③The synergistic effects of Akt inhibitors is maybe relative to the level of endogenous PTEN(phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10) expression. Conclusions:It is required to inhibit two isoforms of both Akt1 and Akt2 in order to maximally sensitize the tumor cells to chemotherapy.
