Objective To study the correlations among the lipoprotein associated phospholipase A2 (Lp‐PLA2) ,hypersensitive C‐reactive protein(hs‐CRP)and D‐dimmer in patients with the coronary heart disease .Methods 260 cases of patients with coronary heart disease(CHD) were enrolled in the study as observation group and 260 healthy people from the physical examinations were recruited as control group .The concentrations of Lp‐PLA2 ,hs‐CRP ,D‐dimer and other biochemical indicators in blood sera of the two groups were detected ,using the Spearman correlation analysis to test the relationship between those indicators .Results The Lp‐PLA2 ,hs‐CRP ,D‐dimer levels of the observation group were obviously higher than those of control group .The Lp‐PLA2 level of the observation group was positively correlated with the cardiac function index(r=0 .873 ,P<0 .05) .hs‐CRP was positively cor‐related with cardiac function index(r=0 .782 ,P<0 .05) .D‐dimmer was positively correlated with the functional grades of heart(r=0 .674 ,P<0 .05) .Conclusion Lp‐PLA2 ,hs‐CRP and D‐dimer could be important indicators for the detection of coronary heart disease .

Objective To retrospectively analyze the effects of nerve block anesthesia versus general anesthesia on intertrochanteric fracture in the elderly. Methods The 104 elderly inpatients undergoing closed reduction and intramedullary nailing for the treatment of femoral intertrochanteric fractures were recruited into this study at Department of Orthopedics ,Xiangya Hospital ,Central South University from January 2015 to June 2017.Medical records were collected and analyzed by SPSS 16.0 or GraphPad Prism 6.0 software. Results A total of 104 patients were divided into general anesthesia group(n= 48 )and nerve block anesthesia group (n= 56 ). There was no statistical difference in the demographic characteristics between the two groups. The changes in heart rate ,maximum changes of systolic/diastolic blood pressures ,and infusion volume during surgery were lower in the nerve block anesthesia group than in the general anesthesia group [(12.7 ± 7.3)vs. (18.1 ± 7.8)beats/min ,(22.5 ± 8.8/12.2 ± 7.5)mmHg vs. (34.3 ± 7.9/21.6 ± 6.6)mmHg ,(792.9 ± 387.0)ml vs. (1 083.0 ± 445.5)ml ,respectively ,t=3.64 ,7.14 ,6.73 ,5.16 ,all P<0.01]. There was no statistically significant difference between two groups in other perioperative data and the number of deaths at three months and one year after surgery. Conclusions As compared with the general anesthesia ,the nerve block anesthesia has less effects on the heart rate ,less maximum changes of systolic and diastolic blood pressures ,and less infusion volume during surgery ,and has no significant increase in postoperative mortality ,which is safe and worthy of further promotion.

Objective:Type H blood vessels are a subtype of bone-specific microvessels(CD31hiEmcnhi)that play an important regulatory role in the coupling of angiogenesis and osteogenesis.Despite reports on the distinct roles of type H and L vessels under physiological and pathological bone conditions,their genetic differences remain to be elucidated.This study aims to construct a competitive endogenous RNA(ceRNA)network of key gene for differencial expression(DE)in type H and L vascular endothelial cells(ECs)through integrated bioinformatic methods. Methods:We downloaded relevant raw data from the ArrayExpress and the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)database and used the Limma R-Bioconductor package to screen for DE lncRNAs,DE miRNAs,and DE mRNAs between type H and L vascular ECs.A total ceRNA network was constructed based on their interactions,followed by refinement using protein-protein interaction(PPI)networks to select upregulated and downregulated key genes.Enrichment analysis was performed on these key genes.Random validation was conducted using flow cytometry and real-time RT-PCR. Results:A total of 1 761 DE mRNAs,187 DE lncRNAs,and 159 DE miRNAs were identified,and a comprehensive ceRNA network was constructed based on their interactions.Six upregulated(Itga5,Kdr,Tjp1,Pecam1,Cdh5,and Ptk2)and 2 downregulated(Csf1r and Il10)key genes were selected via PPI network to construct a subnetwork of ceRNAs related to these key genes.Upregulated key genes were mainly enriched in negative regulation of angiogenesis and vascular apoptosis.Results from flow cytometry and real-time RT-PCR were consistent with bioinformatics analysis. Conclusion:This study proposes a ceRNA network associated with upregulated and downregulated type H and L vascular ECs based on selected key genes,providing new insights into the regulatory mechanisms of type H and L vascular ECs in bone metabolism.
