In order to explore the significance of cardiomyocyte apoptosis in coronary heart disease (CHD), the TUNEL and transmission electron microscopic (TEM) techniques were performed. The results showed that the permillage of cardiomyocyte apoptosis in infarct area in patients of sudden death from CHD was significantly higher than that in control group (557.94? 144.10‰ VS 34.30?20.68‰, p

Objective To study the level of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and platelet-activating factor acetyl-hydrolase(PAF-AH) and high sensitive C reactive protein(hsCRP) on peripheral blood mononuclear cells in Acute Coronary Syndrome(ACS) patients and the effect of atorvastatin on them and the clinical significance. Methods To measure and compare the content of COX-2,PAF-AH and hsCRP in normal control group and ACS group(before and after treatment). Result The content of COX-2,PAF-AH and hsCRP are significantly different between normal con-trol group and ACS group (before treatment) (P < 0.05), and between ACS group (before treatment) and ACS group (after treatment) too(P < 0.05). Conclusions The inflammatory cytokines COX-2,PAF-AH and haCRP have sig-nificant correlation with the occurance of ACS. Atorvastatin can decrease COX-2 and hsCRP level, and can increase PAF-AH level. So atorvastatin takes an important role in lessening inflamatory reaction level in ACS patients.

Objective To investigate the dynamic expression of SOCS-3, TNF-α in live and spleen of mice induced by AOPP, and to discuss the mechanism of MODS induced by AOPP, so that to give some intervention method over MODS in the future. Method Thirty-six adult BALB/c mice were divided into 3 groups randomly: AOPP group (n=12). Water normal group (n=12) and normal group (n=12). After post poison 2 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours,the fiver and the spleen tissue were taken out. The expression of SOCS-3 and TNF-α were detected by RT-PCR. And data were analyzed with ANOVA. Results After AOPP of 2,6,12,24 hours, the mRNA expression of SOCS-3 increased obviously in the liver and spleen compared with the normal group (P<0.05), it reached peak at the 24th hour in liver,and reached peak at the 12th hour in spleen, then descended at 24th hour (P<0.05). The mRNA expression of TNF-α increased obviously in the liver and spleen than normal group (P<0.05), and reached peak at the 12th hour,then descended at 24th hour (P<0.05), the electro-phoresis image of RNA was 5 s 15 s and 30 s,RT-PCR amplification of β-actin showed,the expression of SOCS-3, reached peak at the 24th hour in liver and it reached peak at the 12th hour in spleen, then descended at 24th hour (P<0.05), TNF-α reached peak at 12th hour in the liver and spleen, then descended at 24th hour. By statistic analysis, positive correlation was indicated among SOCS-3 and TNF-α mRNA expression in liver (y=0.089+0.758x, r=0.939, F=252. 168, P<0.01) positive correlation was indicated among socs-3 and TNF-α mRNA expression in spleen (y=0.057+0.361x,r=0.953,F=336.122, P<0.01). Conclusions At different point of time after Aopp,the mRNA expression of socs-3 and TNF-α showe the same trend in liver and spleen,the levels of SOCS-3, TNF-α all increase significenfly.

Objective To evaluate the significance and role of ultrasound parameters in the female stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Methods The changes of the distance of bladder neck mobility,posterior urethra-vesical angle,urethral angle and residual urine volume before and after the operation of transobturator tension-free vaginal tape surgery (TVT-O) for 46 cases of female SUI (experimental group ) by ultrasound were studied,and compared with 43 normal women (control group). Results The experimental group before the operation had the greater distance of bladder neck mobility and posterior urethra-vesical angle [(14.46 ± 1.28) mm, (124.87 ±2.95)°] than the control group [(7.47 ±0.55) mm, (107.83 ±3.24)°] (P ＜ 0.01 ), but the urethral angle [( 23.61 ± 2.28 )°] was smaller than the control group [(36.24 ±2.23 )°] (P ＜ 0.01 ). There was no significant difference in the distance of bladder neck mobility, posterior urethra-vesical angle, urethral angle and residual urine volume between the experimental group after the operation and the control group (P ＞ 0.05 ). The experimental group before the operation had the greater distance of bladder neck mobility and posterior urethra-vesieal angle than those after the operation [(7.84±0.76) mm, (108.74±3.63)°] (P ＜0.01), the urethral angle was smaller than that after the operation [(34.39 ± 3.46)°] (P ＜ 0.01 ), but the residual urine volume had no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusions After the operation, there are some changes in the distance of bladder neck mobility, posterior urethra-vesical angle and urethral angle for the patients with female SUI,and these parameters can be restored the normal state,and have the relatively stable effect. The residual urine volume dosen't increase after the operation. Ultrasound has the advantage in objectively assessing the severity and recovery status after the operation exclusion of mental and psychological factors.

Objective To evaluate the effect of uterine-reserved in the pelvio floor reconstruction,and select the best surgery for patients. Methods Through the observation and follow-up for 14 cases of uterine-reserved (experimental group) and 17 cases of uterine-removed (control group), to compare the information during the surgery, postoperative recovery, and quality of life of the two groups. Results The operation time, blood loss, postoperative discharge time, antibiotics application time and hospitalization time in experimental group were significantly lower than those in control group(P ＜ 0.05). The paruria, abdominal distention in experimental group [14%(2/14), 14%(2/14)] were significantly lower than those in control group [53% (9/17), 24% (4/17)] (P ＜ 0.05), and sexual satisfaction was significantly higher in experimental group than that in control group [71% (10/14) vs. 47% (8/17)] (P ＜ 0.05). There were no significant difference in pelvic pain, constipation of the two groups (P＞ 0.05). The POP-Q scores were normal after the operation both the two groups, each group beforeand after surgery compared the POP-Q score, were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusions Uterine-r eserved in the pelvic floor reconstruction can maintain the structural stability of the pelvic floor, and has the advantage of shorter operation time, less bleeding, more rapid recovery. Recent results are similar with hysterectomy, can reduce the risk of perioperative period to the elderly women.

Objective To investigate the change of the content of suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS-1) in the liver of septic mice and its working mechanism.Methods Adopted Cecalligation and puncture (CLP) to create models of sepsis and divided randomly adult male BALB/c mice into 8 groups,including normal controlled group,sham-operated group,and the killed groups 2 hours,6 hours,12 hours,24 hours and 48 hours after operation.After extracting the RNA and protein from the liver tissue of the mouse groups,reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was adopted to determine the relative content of SOCS-1 mRNA in the tissue,Western blot was adopted to determine the relative content of protein and the SPSS statistics software was adopted to calculate the correlation.Then observed the pathological change of liver tissues,and detected SOCS-1 protein expression by immunohistochemistry.Results After CLP suergery,the expression of SOCS-1 on gene degree in the liver and the expression of SOCS1 on protein degree in the liver increased rapidly at the 6th hour ( P ＜ 0.05 ),with the former reaching peak ( P ＜ 0.05 ) at the 24th hour and the latter remaining high all the time.There were pathological changes such as fatty degeneration and necrosis in the septic liver tissue,hepatic SOCS-1 protein expression could be detected by immunohistochemistry.Conclusions CLP induced sepsis could lead to the increase of the expression of SOCS1 in the liver.

Objective To investigate the incidence of systemic inflammatory response syndrome(SIRS) after cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR) and to observe the effect of Ulinastain in inhibition of inflammatory mediator.Methods Forty patients surviving more than 48 hours after CPR were divided into Ulinastain and control groups randomly. Activity of nuclear factor kappa B(NF-?B), IL-6,TNF-? of the patients was detected .All patients were evaluated by SIRS diagnosis standard and their general organ function was examined. All data were compared between two groups.Results Activities of NF-?B, IL-6,TNF-? of patients after CPR was significantly higher than that of normal people (P

Objective To investigate the expressions and clinical significanees of suppressors of cytokine signaling-1 (SOCS-1) and SOCS-3 in myocardium of patients with sudden cardiac death (SCD). Method This study included myocardial autopsy specimens of 24 patients admitted between 2005 and 2006. Of them, 9 cases had the findings of autopsy examination consistent with coronary atberosclerosis (non-myocardial infarction) leading to SCD (non-MI group), 7 patients died of acute myocardial infarction (MI group) and 8 patients died of traffic accidents and trauma The expressions of SOCS-1 mRNA and SOCS-3 mRNA in the myocardium of non-MI and con-trol group were detected by using RT-PCR. The levels of SOCS-1 protein and SOCS-3 protein were detected by us-ing immunohistochemistry. Statistical analysis were performed by using SPSS version 13.0 software and the data were processed with ANOVA test. Results The expressions of SOCS-1 mRNA and SOCS-3 mRNA in non-MI and MI groups were were significantly higher than those in control group (0. 788±0. 101) and (0. 741±0.111) vs.(0.436±0.044) (P <0.01); (0.841±0.092) and (0.776±0.070) vs.(0.454±0.076), P <0.01, re-spectively). The antibody-positive cells of SOCS-1 protein in myocardium of non-MI group and MI group were significantly higher than those in myoeardium of control group (320.00±48.48) and (347.14±70.88) vs.(42.50±10.35) (P < 0.01), respectively. The antibody-positive cells of SOCS-3 protein in myoeardium of non-MI group and MI group were significantly higher than those in myocardium of control group (381.11±59.25) vs.(40.00±10.69), (P < 0.01)and (332.86±111.91) vs. (40.00±10.69), (P =0.001). Conclusions The expressions of SOCS rnRNA and SOCS-3 mRNA in myoeardium of patients with SCD from coronary diseases are significantly increased contributing to the pathogenesis of SCD.

Objective To observe the effect of automobile exhaust pollutants in air of underground parking area on immune system of mice. Methods Thirty female Kunming mice were divided into a control(relatively clean) group and a polluted group(each n=15)by a random number table method. The control group was housed on the roof of a mechanical building located at the south campus of Sun Yat-sen University,while the polluted group was housed in the minus second layer of underground parking lot at the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. The data of atmospheric pollutants were recorded at both feeding sites. The mice's food-intake and body weight were also observed. After 3 months of observation,the mice were sacrificed and peripheral serum was harvested. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was performed to detect the level of tumor necrotic factor-α(TNF-α),transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1)and interleukin-4(IL-4). Results The levels of air pollutants in pollution group were higher than those in control group〔carbonmonoxide(CO,mg/m3:16.784±3.093 vs. 2.249±0.112),nitrogen oxides(NOx, mg/m3:0.318±0.041 vs. 0.065±0.030)and particulate matter(PM2.5,mg/m3:0.309±0.051 vs. 0.055±0.013),all P<0.001〕. The amount of food intake and body weight of the polluted group were obviously lower than those of the control group〔food-intake:670 g vs. 960 g,body weight:(37.13±1.11)g vs.(41.23±1.34)g, both P<0.001〕. There was no abnormal death in both groups. The serum levels of TNF-α(ng/L:247.93±22.25 vs. 143.33±39.01), TFG-β1(ng/L:395.77±41.29 vs. 319.15±20.72) and IL-4(ng/L:231.89±20.04 vs. 194.09±3.57)were significantly higher in the mice of polluted group than those in the control group(all P<0.001). Conclusions The automobile exhaust pollutants in the air of underground parking lot have obvious effects on the levels of serum inflammatory cytokines of mice. It is suggested that the presence of pollutants activate the body's inflammatory process and lead to disturbance of immune system of female Kunming mice.
