Background and objective To assess the predictive value of C-reactive protein(CRP) for major adverse cardiac events and the association between CRP level and the coronary lesion morphology and extent in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD).Methods CRP was measured on admission in 177 consecutive elderly (age≥60 years) patients with CHD who underwent coronary angiography. Patients were divided into high CRP group (CRP≥3mg/L) and normal CRP group (CRP ＜3mg/L). The association between CRP levels and the coronary lesion features, including severity of stenosis (mild, moderate, severe), extent of lesion (diffused or nondiffused), eccentricity of the plaque (eccentric or non-eccentric) were analyzed. Patients were followed up for a mean of 8 months for the occurrences of major adverse cardiac events (MACE). Results Compared with patients in normal CRP group, patients in high CRP group were more frequently to have unstable angina, multi-vessel, diffuse, eccentric lesions, positive remodeling, and non-smooth plaques (P＜0.01). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed patients in high CRP group had a significantly lower MACE-free survival rate than patients in normal CRP group (Log-rank = 12.0, P＜0.01); Cox regression analysis indicated CRP level as an independent predictor for the occurrence of MACE (OR=3.16, P＜0.05) Conclusions High CRP level is associated with more extend, severe and eccentric coronary lesions and is an independent predictor for MACE in elderly patients with CHD.

Objective To compare the curative effects of CT-guided ethanol injection and lauromacrogol injection into the sac cavity in treating ovarian endometriosis cysts. Methods A total of 86 patients with ovarian endometriosis cyst were enrolled in this study. The patients were divided into ethanol group (n=44) and lauromacrogol group (n=42). Under CT guidance, injections of ethanol or lauromacrogol into the sac cavity of ovarian endometriosis cysts were respectively performed for the patients of both groups. The patients were followed up for six months, and the curative effects and the complications were analyzed. Results Six months after the treatment, the cure rates of ethanol group and lauromacrogol group were 95.50%and 92.86%respectively, and no statistically significant difference in cure rate existed between the two groups (P>0.05). The preoperative serum CA125 levels of the ethanol group and lauromacrogol group were (48.42±23.68)μg/L and(49.21±22.83) μg/L respectively, and the post operative ones were (23.56±5.89) μg/L and (25.49± 6.10) μg/L respectively; the differences between the preoperative data and the postoperative data were statistically significant in both groups (P<0.05), although the differences in serum CA125 levels between the two groups were not significant (P>0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications in the lauromacrogol group was obviously lower than that in the ethanol group (P<0.05). The cure time in the ethanol group was shorter than that in the lauromacrogol group, although the difference was not significant after six months. Conclusion For the treatment of ovarian endometriosis cysts, CT-guided lauromacrogol injection into the sac cavity has reliable curative effect. Compared to ethanol injection, injection of lauromacrogol is safer and has fewer adverse reactions. Therefore, this technique should be recommended in clinical practice. Serum CA125 can be used as an indicator for the evaluation of curative effect.

Objective To determine the renal effects of chronic exercise training and enalapril in uninephrectomized anti-Thy-1 nephritis Wistar rats (Thy-1-Crf). Methods 5-week-old Wistar rats were subjected to uninephrectomy. Anti-Thy-1 nephritis was induced by injecting 200 μg/kg OX-7 intravenously once a week for four times. They were divided into 3 groups: non exercise; moderate exercise with treadmill running(20 m/min, 0 grade-incline for 60 min); moderate exercise with an angiotensin converting enzyme(ACE) inhibitors, enalapril (2 mg/kg/day i.p.) for 8 weeks.Results Exercise did not suppress the increase in proteinuria in Thy-1-Crf. However, enalapril significantly decreased systolic blood pressure(SBP), urinary protein excretion(UpE), and index of glomerular sclerosis (IGS) in Thy-1-Crf. Conclusion The renal protective effects of moderate exercise in models of renal failure differ depending on the etiology of renal failure. It also suggests that enalapril can widen the acceptable range of exercise intensity in Thy-1-Crf.

Objective To screen and verify the proteins interacting with phosphorylation cluster of DNA dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit((DNA-PKcs) by yeast two-hybrid assay.Methods To know the proteins interacting with DNA-PKcs phosphorylation cluster,yeast two-hybrid assay was applied to screen the cDNA library of human hepatic tissue with a previously constructed plasmid pGBKT7-DPC.The positive clones were further identified by PCR,rotary validation and sequence analysis.Then the eukaryotic expression vectors of the bait protein and screened positive clone proteins were constructed and transfected into human embryonic kidney 293T cells to detect whether the proteins could been expressed correctly.At last,the bait protein and screened positive clone proteins were co-transfected into 293T cells and protein interaction was detected with Co-Immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) assay.Results After two rounds of screening using the yeast two-hybrid assay,12 candidate clones were obtained.Then 7 clones with different insert fragments were identified by PCR,and 3 positive proteins interacted with DNA-PKcs phosphorylation cluster were further verified by rotary validation.Sequencing analysis demonstrated that these 3 proteins were MBNL1,SIK2 and YY1AP1,respectively.Accordingly,the eukaryotic expression vectors of bait protein and 3 positive clone proteins were constructed successfully and expressed correctly in 293T ceils.Finally,the Co-IP assay confirmed that these 3 positive clone proteins could interact with DNA-PKcs phosphorylation cluster.Conclusions Proteins interacting with DNA-PKcs phosphorylation cluster are successfully screened and identified.

Objective: To investigate the value of positron emission tomography/computerized tomography(PET/CT) with fluorine-18-labeled fluorodeoxyglucose(18FDG) for gastric carcinoma.Methods: Thirty-two patients(25 males,7 females,aged 31-82 years) suspected of gastric carcinoma underwent whole-body PET/CT after taking in 600 ml of water to distend the gastral cavity.The maximal standard uptake value(SUVmax) of the region of interest(ROI) in PET and the maximum width of the gastric wall in CT were analyzed.Pathological specimens were obtained from all the patients during surgery or gastroscopy.Results: 18FDG PET/CT found gastric carcinoma in 24 of the patients.The rates of positive and negative prediction and the accuracy of PET/CT in the diagnosis of the disease were 92.3%,100% and 93.8%.SUVmax was positively correlated with the maximum width of the gastric wall,but they exhibited no statistically significant differences between the patients with involved lymph nodes and those without.Based on the PET/CT findings,the 24 gastric carcinoma patients were clinically classified as follows: 9 in stage Ⅰ,1 in stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ,3 in stage Ⅱ,1 in stage Ⅲ and 10 in stage Ⅳ.Conclusion: 18FDG PET/CT is highly valuable for gastric carcinoma in its diagnosis,the evaluation of its biological behavior and determination of its treatment strategies.

Objective To observe the morphology, quantity and migration of Langerhans cells in normal or HPV-infected skin treated with localized hyperthermia. Methods Tissue specimens obtained from 16 patients with condyloma accuminatum (CA) and 15 normal controls were divided into three equal parts, and irradiated by a self-made hyperthermia equipment at 37℃, 42℃ and 45℃ respectively for 30 minutes. Immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry were applied to detect the morphology, quantity and migration of Langerhans cells (LCs), respectively, in these treated specimens. Results With a rise in temperature, the number of LCs in epidermis decreased, the dendrites shortened, decreased in number or even disappeared. After exposure to hyperthermia at 37℃, 42℃ and 45℃, the number of LCs was 782.40±114.8, 649.44±119.40 and 510.88±118.64 per square millimeter respectively, in normal tissue, 646.04±135.67, 489.38±118.19 and 387.93±110.15 per square millimeter respectively in HPV-infected skin tissue.The percentage of migratory LCs expressing CD1a was 0.19%±0.18%, 0.89%±0.19% and 1.59%±0.28% in normal skin tissue treated with hyperthermia at 37℃, 42℃ and 45℃ respectively, 0.62%±0.31%,2.31%±0.54% and 6.33%±0.98%, respectively, in HPV-infected skin tissue; the differences were significant among these different temperatures. Furthermore, the migration of LCs from tissue into culture was enhanced by the treatment with hyperthermia. Conclusions Hyperthermia can promote the migration of LCs, and accordingly enhance the antigen presenting effect of these cells in immune response.

Objective To observe the influence of psychological stress and countermeasure implementation upon the temporomandibular joint ( TMJ ) articular disc and external pterygoid muscle in rats,providing experimental and theoretical evidence for clinical treatment of psychological stress-induced temporomandibular disorders (TMD).Methods The animal models treated by psychological stress induced by alternating current box were established.Before and after subjected to psychological stress,rats were given anxiolytic drugs to eliminate stressors.For all the rats in control group,psychological stress group ( PS group),and psychological stress plus anxiolytic drug injection group ( ( PS + DI) group),the microstructure of TMJ articular disc and external pterygoid muscle the changes in RNA expression of interleukin-1 ( 1L-1 ) were investigated by using transmission electron microscope (TEM),scanning electron microscope ( SEM ) and RT-PCR methods,respectively.Statistical analysis was performed upon the obtained test results.Results The TEM showed pathlogical changes in rats'pterygoid muscles of PS group at 1,3 and 5 weeks,including edema,reduction of substrate density and microchondrial cristae.Instead,these structures were all showed normal in the group of PS + DI and recovering group after removal of stressor.For the rats in PS group,SEM observation revealed that partial synovium of articular disc began to disintegrate 1 week after psychological stress.Strip-like wear degenerations were shown in the surface collagenous fiber in articular disc 3 weeks later,and the surface collagenous fibers in articular disc were arrayed in disorder 5 weeks following stress treatment.No significant microstructural changes in articular disc were observed in all stressor-eliminating groups and ( PS + DI) group 1,3,and 5 weeks following stress treatment.Statistical significance was noted in RNA expression level of IL-1 between PS group and PS + DI group (P＜0.05).In addition,there was significant difference in IL-1 expression between PS group and all stressor-eliminating groups.Conclusion The implementation of countermeasures effectively counteracted the influence upon TMJ induced by psychological stress,and provided possible resolutions for the clinical treatment of TMD induced by psychological stress.

Background Normal ultrastructure is the anatomical basis of retinal pigment epithelial(RPE) cells to perform normal physiological function.At present the precipitation method is often used to detect the ultrastructure of RPE cells with transmission electron microscopy(TEM).Objective The aim of this study was to explore a simple and feasible approach to examine the ultrastructure of human embryonic stem cell-derived retinal pigment epithelial (hESC-RPE) cells.Methods hESCs were induced and differentiated into RPE cells by the spontaneous differentiation method,and the expressions of microphthalmia associated transcription factor MITF and paired-box gene 6 (PAX6),specific protein of RPE cells,in the cells were detected by immunofluorescence assay.hESC-RPE cells were inoculated into Transwell filter,and the ultrastructure of the cell sheet was examined under the TEM.Then the ultrastructure of the cell sheet specimens was compared with those of hESC-RPE cells from cell precipitation and RPE cell specimens of 90-day-old Long Evans rats.Results MITF and PAX6 were positively expressed in hESC-RPE cells.The normal ultrastructure were visible in the RPE cells of rats under the TEM,including apical microvilli,polarized melanin granules,cellular nucleus,basement membrane and intercellular junctions,and the ultrastructure of hESC-RPE cell sheet on Transwell was similar to the RPE cells in rats.However,only scatter melanin granules,nonpolar nucleus and scanty microvilli were observed under the TEM in the hESC-RPE cells by cell precipitation method.Conclusions Without digestion process,hESC-RPE cell sheet on Transwell can retain the normal ultrastructure of hESC-RPE cells under the TEM,with a more simple and reliable advantage.
