Objective To study the changes and their value of ultrasonic myocardial integrated backscatter (IBS)in normal control and patients with super-acute phase of myocardial infarction. Methods There were 38 cases of acute myocardial infarction(AMI)patients in the super-acute phase(time ＜ 2 h infarction)and the acute phase(infarction time ＞ 2 h,typical ECG changes)for myocardial ultrasonic backscatter parameters detection,an additional 25 cases as healthy control group. The myocardial infarction region and non-infracted myocardial tissue region average duration of cardiac cycle of integrated backscatter(IBS)were measured,and IBS adjusted value (IBS%)was calculated as the ratio of myocardial IBS to the pericardium,the difference of IBS at end-diastolic and late systolic was used as cyclic variation of IBS(CVIB). The ratio of IBS to pericardial CVIB was used as its adjusted value(CVIB%). Over the same period for the electrocardiogram,myocardial enzymes and cardiac troponin I were measured. Results When ECG was not typically changed in patients with super-acute phase AMI,the IBS values significantly increased in the myocardial infarction region than the normal control group (43. 7 ± 10. 8)dB vs.(22. 6 ± 4. 6)dB,P ＜0.01),and CVIB was significantly lower than that in the normal control group(10. 2 ±2. 6)dB vs.(13. 2 ± 3.8)dB,P ＜ 0.01]. The IBS in the acute phase in patients was significantly higher than that in the normal control group and those non-infarcted areas,and CVIB was significantly lower than that in the normal control group and those in the non-infarcted areas. The changes were consistent with the ECG changes. Conclusions Ultrasonic backscatter parameters might be helpful for diagnosis of hyperacute period of AMI,and the determination of the scope and extent of AMI.

Objective To explore the effects of environmental lead exposure on immune system in preschool children. Methods The blood lead levels of 217 preschool children were determined by graphite furnance atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The distribution of T_lymphocyte subsets: CD 3+,CD 3+CD 4+,CD 3+CD 8+, B cells (CD 3- CD 19+), NK cells (CD 3-CD 16+CD 56-) were analyzed by flow cytometer, the levels of serum immunoglobulin G and immunoglobulin M were determined by scattering turbidimetry, the levels of serum immunoglobulin E were examined with ELISA. Results The mean level of blood lead of 217 preschool children was (0.46?0.27)?mol/L(range:0.11～2.71 ?mol/L). The blood lead levels of 63 preschool children were ≥0.48 ?mol/L. 38 preschool children among 63 preschool children with blood lead level of ≥0.48 ?mol/L were selected as the high_blood_lead group, 35 preschool children with blood lead levels of 0.05). Condusion The blood lead levels of ≥0.48 ?mol/L presented adverse effects on the T_lymphocyte subsets.

Objective:To explore the sexual behavior of high school students of Beijing and its relationship to parent and peer attachment.Methods:847 students of two high schools in Beijing were investigated with self-designed inventory on sexual behavior and Inventory of Parental and Peer Attachment.Results:The age of first menstruation among girl was 12.7,that of first semen loss of boys was 13.2.3.3% students had sex intercourse(in boys 16/350,in girls 12/497),the average age of them was 16.0.39.1% students had dating experience.The source of sex information came mainly from friends(38.8%),books and newspaper(24.5%),and school education(15.8%).Boys had more positive attitude to sex behavior of peers than girls.Students with safe attachment to parents were more conservative to sex behavior than those with unsafe attachment to parents.They also had less sexual behaviors.Conclusion:Sex behavior and attitude of high school students in Beijing have week association with attachment pattern.

Icarrin is the main monomer extracted and purified from Epimedium koreanum Nakai. Using dependentcell lines and LDH release assay,the synergistic effects of icarrin on inducing IL-2, 3, 6 and enhancing NK,LAK cell activity were studied. Results showed that icarrin can induce tonsil mononuclear cells to produce IL-2, IL-3,and IL-6 in collaboration with PHA in a dose-dependent manner. IL-2 and IL-6 peaked at 48h after reaction,and IL-3 peaked at 72h. Icarrin enhanced NK and LAK cell activity dose-dependentlylthe LAK activitypeaked on the 5th day. These results suggested that icarrin may be an effective BRM agent

Objective To investigate the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphism (677C→T) of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase and Alzheimer′s disease(AD) in south China Han people. Methods By applying polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), MTHFR 677C→T mutation was detected in 45 AD patients and 48 healthy controls. Results The frequency of MTHFR 677C→T mutation of patients showed no significant difference to that of healthy controls (P > 0.05). There is no statistic significance between AD group and controls in C, T gene frequency(P>0.05). But T gene frequency is higher in AD group than in control group. Conclusion MTHFR C 677T is not the pathogenic factor for AD, but could have some effects on AD.

Objective:To explore the correlation among serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI),N terminal pro brain natri-uretic peptide (NT-proBNP)and main endpoint events of heart in patients with chronic stable heart failure.Meth-ods:The present study enrolled 95 patients with NYHA cardiac function class III~IV from Feb 2010 to Feb 2011.According to levels of cTnI and NT-proBNP,the patients were divided into cTnI negative group (n=60)and cTnI positive group (n=35);NT-proBNP negative group (n=40)and NT-proBNP positive group (n=55),all patients were followed up for two years,and the main endpoint events were cardiogenic sudden death and rehospitalization caused by acute aggravation of heart failure.Results:Compared with negative group,the hazard ratio (HR)of end-point events was 2.69 and confidence interval (CI)was 1.54~ 4.72,P = 0.002 in cTnI positive group;HR was 2.54 and CI was 1.35~4.78,P =0.003 in NT-proBNP positive group;further interclass crossover analysis found that,when patients'cTnI and NT-proBNP were both positive,the hazard ratio of cardiac endpoint events was the highest (HR=6.34,CI 2.26~17.9,P <0.001).Conclusion:In patients with chronic stable heart failure,serum elevated levels of cardiac troponin I and N terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide are important predictors reflecting prognosis of patients with heart failure.
