Chinese Circulation Journal 2015;(3):256-259
Objective: To explore the relationship between serum levels of carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) and hemodynamic changes in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF).
Methods: A total of 110 CHF patients with clear diagnosis, admitted in our hospital from 2013-01 to 2014-06 were studied. According to NYHA classiifcation, the CHF patients were divided into 3 groups: NYHA I-II group,n=40, NYHA III group,n=38 and NYHA IV group,n=32. There was a Control group including 40 subjects from healthy physical examination. The levels of CA125, B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were recorded at admission, discharge and 3 months follow-up period; the relationship between CA125, BNP and LEVF were studied in CHF patients.
Results:①In CHF patients, the levels of CA125 and BNP increased with NYHA classification by NYHA I-II group > NYHA III > group > NYHA IV group accordingly,P<0.05; while LVEF decreased with the elevated NYHA classiifcation, allP<0.05.②Correlation study indicated that CA125 positively related to BNP (r=0.64,P<0.001), LAD (r=0.28,P<0.01), LVEDD (r=0.35,P<0.001), and negatively related to LEVF (r=-0.63,P<0.001).③After treatment, the serum levels of CA125 in NYHA III group and NYHA IV group were obviously decreased,P<0.05.④There were 27 patients died at in-hospital and follow-up period, their levels of CA125 were (110.3 ± 40.2) before treatment and (67.1 ± 20.2) after treatment; for 83 survivors, their levels of CA125 were (66.7 ± 30.6) before treatment and (50.3 ± 24.5) after treatment, allP<0.05.
Conclusion: Serum level of CA125 is positively related to the severity of CHF, it might be used as a serum predictor for prognosis in CHF patients.

Objective: To explore early diagnostic value of combined detection of ischemia-modified albumin and other biochemical markers for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods: A total of 156 patients, who received treatment within 4h because of chest pain onset, were divided into ACS group (n=112) and non-ischemic chest pain group (NICP group, n=44) according to coronary angiography (CAG). Blood sample was taken within 4h and during 4~8h after chest pain to measure cardiac biochemical markers, including ischemia-modified albumin (IMA), LDH, CK, CK-MB and cardiac troponin I (cTnI), comprehensive analysis was performed by detected results of above biochemical markers and CAG. Results: For diagnosis of ACS, within 4h after onset IMA possessed highest sensitivity (87.50%) and highest accuracy (80.77%), cTnI possessed highest specificity (95.45%); In 4~8h IMA still possessed highest sensitivity (91.07%), cTnI still possessed highest specificity(97.73%), CK(85.90%),and IMA(85.25%)possessed highest accuracy (both CK and IMA had no significant difference); According to comprehensive analysis, regardless of within 4h or during 4~8h after chest pain, IMA possessed highest sensitivity and highest accuracy, cTnI possessed highest specificity. Within 4h after chest pain, detection of IMA combined above-mentioned other four indexes increased sensitivity (89.28%), specificity (95.45%) and accuracy (91.02%)to highest level. Conclusion: For diagnosis of ACS, IMA possesses highest sensitivity and highest accuracy, cTnI possesses highest specificity; IMA combined above-mentioned other four indexes may increase sensitivity, specificity and accuracy to highest level.

Objective To investigate the influence of m4-1BBL on the anti-tumor effects induced by truncated human prostate specific membrane antigen (tPSMA) gene in mice. Methods A eukaryotic expression plasmid encoding tPSMA and m4-1BBL (pDC316-tPSMA-IRES-m4-1BBL), pDC316-tPSMA and pDC316 were constructed. C57BL/6 mice were vaccinated in the quadriceps femoris, respectively. The CTL activity of spleen cells from the immunized mice against prostate cancer RM-1-tPSMA was detected by CCK-8 kit in vitro. The tumor growth was then observed. Results The target cell specific cytotoxicity rate induced by pDC316-tPSMA-IRES-m4-1BBL was 42.6%, compared to 24.8% in the pDC316-tPSMA group and 10.8% in the pDC316 group. The difference was significant (P<0.05). The volume of tumor in the pDC316 group was 2657.4mm3 7 d after vaccination, compared to 1334.5 mm3 in the pDC316-tPSMA group, 9 d after vaccination. In the pDC316-tPSMA-IRES-m4-1BBL group, the tumor volume was 445.8 mm3, 12d after vaccination. The difference was significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Gene vaccines co-expressing tPSMA gene and m4-1BBL gene could significantly enhance anti-prostate cancer effects in mice.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of dexmedetomidine and dezocine used to supplement awake tracheal intubation assisted by fiberoptic bronchoscope (FOB) in elderly patients.Methods Sixty elderly patients aged 65-77 yr,of ASA physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ (Mallampati grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ),scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =20 each) using a random number table:dezocine group (group DEZ),dexmedetomidine group (group DEX) and dezocine combined with dexmedetomidine group (group DEZ+DEX).Dezocine 0.1 mg/kg was injected intravenously in group DEZ.Dexmedetomidine 0.4 μg/kg was infused intravenously over 10-15 min in group DEX.In group DEZ+DEX,dexmedetomidine 0.4 μg/kg was infused intravenously over 10-15 min,and dezocine 0.1 mg/kg was injected simultaneously.Laryngeal mucous membrane was sprayed with 2% lidocaine for topical anesthesia during infusion in all the three groups.In addition,1% tetracaine 3 ml was injected into trachea through cricothyroid membrane.Awake tracheal intubation was performed and assisted by FOB after the end of administration in all the three groups.Cardiovascular response (MAP or HR>30% of baseline values) and respiratory depression (SpO2<90% and RR<8 bpm) were recorded during the period between induction of anesthesia and 3 min after intubation was completed.The intubation time was recorded.The tolerance of tracheal tube was assessed in the patients.At the time of topical anesthesia,when epiglottis came into view,immediately after tracheal tube was successfully inserted into trachea,and at 3 min after successful intubation,perfusion index and Ramsay sedation score,and patients' satisfaction with the sedation (Ramsay sedation score 2-4) were recorded.Results Compared with group DEZ or DEX,the tolerance of tracheal tube was significantly enhanced,intubation time was shortened,the rate of satisfactory sedation was increased,perfusion index and the incidence of cardiovascular response were decreased in DEZ+DEX group.There was no significant difference in respiratory depression among the three groups.Conclusion Dexmedetomidine and dezocine can provide better condition for awake tracheal intubation assisted by FOB than dexmedetomidine or dezocine alone in elderly patients.

Objective: To quantitatively evaluate the abnormal tense of parasympathetic nerve via measuring the heart rate deceleration capacity (DC) and heart rate variability (HRV) in patients with vasovagal syncope (VVS).
Methods: Our research included 2 groups: VVS group,n=28 patients with positive head-up tilt test treated in our hospital from 2013-06 to 2014-08 and Control group,n=30 patients without cardiovascular disorders. The DC and HRV were examined and compared between 2 groups.
Results:① The overall deceleration capacity (ODC) (9.4 ± 2.9) ms and daytime deceleration capacity (DDC) (8.9 ± 2.9) ms in VVS group were higher than those in Control group (7.5 ± 2.5) ms and (7.5 ± 2.5) ms respectively,P<0.05.② More patients in VVS group presented daytime-to-nighttime deceleration capacity ratio (DNratio) >1 than those in Control group (9/28, 32.1% vs 2/30, 6.7%),P=0.019.③ The SDNN (139.8 ± 34.0) ms, SDSD (29.9 ± 15.7) ms and rMSSD (40.9 ± 18.8) ms in VVS group were higher than those in Control group, (115.5 ± 29.4) ms, (21.8 ± 6.6) ms and (28.9 ± 8.4) ms respectively,P<0.05.④ Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that ODC was positively related to vasovagal syncope occurrence (OR=2.045, 95% CI: 1.100-3.801,P=0.024).
Conclusion: VVS patients have abnormally increased indexes of DC and HRV, HDC is the predictor for vasovagal syncope occurrence.
