Objective To study the prognostic value of left ventricular endocardial pacing in percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation(PTSMA)in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy(HOCM).Methods Fifteen HOCM patients with resting left ventricular outflow gradient(LVOTG)≥30 mmHg and/or stress LVOTG≥50 mmHg were included in this study.Left ventricular endocardial pacing was attempted in the patients 20 minutes before PTSMA.Heamodynamic parameters and LVOTG were monitored during operation and follow up echocardiography was performed 1 month after the operation.Results The mean chickness of the ventricular septals decreased from 22.07?7.85 mm before PTSMA to 17.39?5.79 mm 1 month afterwards(P

Objective: To screen out DNA binding proteins specifically recognizing CpG immunostimulatory sequence (ISS) for further investigating the molecular mechanisms of ISS. Methods: Yeast one hybrid system was adapted in screening a human bone marrow cDNA library using 4 copies of ISS as bait. The ISS binding activity of the positive clone was confirmed by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). Results: Four dual positive colonies were obtained, two of them encoded proteins with unknown functions. The other 2 encoded light chains of immunoglobulin with amino sequences homology to anti DNA Ab and HBsAb respectively. EMSA showed HBsAb specifically bound to CpG ODN at pH6.4 and pH 5.8. Conclusion: HBsAb may have ISS specific DNA binding activity.

Objective To evaluate the effect of 131 iodine(131I) therapy in medium and large goiter with hyperthyroidism in order to investigate the influence of pretreatment with antithyroid drugs (ATD) methimazole(MMI) and propylthiouracide (PTU) on 131I therapy.Methods A total of 338 hyperthyroidism patients (136 cases for male,202 cases for female) with thyroid mass greater than 40 grams were treated with 131I in the People's Hospital of Sichuan Province.Thyroid function,thyroid 131I uptake ratio and thyroid imaging were measured before treatment were measured 1-3 months later after administration of 131I,and they were followed up for 6 months to 4 years.Results There were statistical difference between pretreatment and 3 months later of 131I therapy in terms of free triiodothyronine (FT3),(Free thyroxine) FT4.The level of FT3 decreased from (31.9 ± 16.2) pmol/L to (7.8 ±8.5) pmol/L(t =23.9,P =0.000) and level of FT4 decreased from (58.8 ± 22.2) pmol/L to (19.4 ± 16.9) pmol/L(t =25.4,P =0.000).Among 338 patients,109 patients (32.2％) were developed hypothyroidism,and 91 patients (26.9％) were cured,91patients (26.9％) with improved state,20 patients(5.9％) with ineffective and 27 patients(8.0％) with relapse after administration of 131I.The total effective rate was 94.1％ (318/338).Thyroid weight,levels of FT3,FT4,thyroglobulin antibody(TGA),thyroid microsomal antibody(MCA) in effective group were (49.8 ± 9.97) g,(32.5 ± 16.3) pmol/L,(59.5 ± 22.2) pmol/L,(43.6 ± 35.3) ％,(30.1 ± 22.6) ％ respectively,and were (56.9±15.7) g,(22.8 ± 12.8) pmol/L,(47.9 ±20.3) pmol/L,(22.8±30.0)％,(15.3 ±20.5)％ respectively in ineffective group.There were statistically significant differences between the ineffective group and effective group (t =2.932,2.602,2.287,2.501,2.766 ; P =0.000,0.010,0.023,0.013,0.006).Logistic regression analysis was showed that weight of thyroid and serum FT3 were the most important factors in affecting 1131 therapy.Conclusion 131 I therapy for medium and large-sized goiter with hyperthyroidism is safe and effective.ATD may not reduce the effectiveness of subsequent 131I of hyperthyroidism.Thyroid weight and FT3 are the key influential factors in affecting 131I.

To detect furaltadone metabolite 3-amino-5-morpholinomethyl-2-oxazolidinone ( AMOZ ) in fish sample, an Eu3+ labeling time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay ( TRFIA ) was developed. The effects of experimental conditions including AMOZA-OVA concentration, dilution of antibody, and reaction time on the sensitivity of TRFIA were explored. The results showed that the optimized assay conditions were as follows:the AMOZA-OVA concentration was 0. 25 μg/mL; the antibody was diluted 5í104 folds, and the competitive reaction time was 50 min. Under optimal conditions, the method showed a detection limit of 0. 01 ng/mL, an IC50 of 0. 26 ng/mL and a linear range (IC20-IC80) of 0. 025-2. 83 ng/mL. The recoveries of AMOZ in fish at three spiked levels ranged from 78 . 0% to 86 . 0%, and the relative standard deviations were less than 15%. Good correlation between the ic-TRFIA and high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was obtained for spiked food samples. The proposed ic-TRFIA method was suited for the determination of AMOZ residue in food samples.
