Objective To observe the serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI) level and to analysis the relations between the serum cTnI level and prognosis in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and Cardiac Dysfunction.Methods Serum cardiac cTnI level was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay. Results The serum cTnI level in DCM patients with class IV cardiac function (0.53 ?0.31) ?g/L was significantly higher than in DCM patients with class Ⅲ cardiac function (0.45?0.27) ?g/L.There was significantly difference in serum cTnI levels between DCM patients with class Ⅲ cardiac function and DCM patients with class Ⅱ cardiac function(0.29?0.27) ?g/L.Conclusion The higher serum cTnI level is correlated with the severity of cardiac function and may be useful for evaluating prognosis in patients with DCM.

Three aspects of bilingual teaching of Instrument Analysis and experiment were discussed,which mainly included the design of teaching contents,key teaching measures and teaching practices,as well as the evaluation of teaching effect.And some new concepts of bilingual teaching in the curriculum of instruction analysis and experiment were presented as well.

BACKGROUND:Compared with smooth titanium, titania nanotubes cannot only induce mesenchymal stem cels osteogenic differentiation and promote bone integration, but also be used as drug nanocarriers. OBJECTIVE:To prepare dexamethasone-loaded titania nanotube system and to test its drug release characteristics. METHODS:Titania nanotubes were prepared by electrochemical anodic oxidation, and dexamethasone was dripped onto the prepared titania nanotubes. Subsequently layer by layer self-assembly technology was employed to fabricate gelatin/chitosan multilayered structure on the prepared samples. Scanning electron microscope and contact angle test were carried out during the process of building the gelatin/chitosan multilayered structure. The drug release was measured by a ultraviolet spectrophotometer. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Under the scanning electron microscopy, the fabricated titania nanotubes had integral structure with even tube size of about 70 nm and arranged regularly, and the nanotubes were completely covered and sealed by the gelatin/chitosan multilayered membrane. Contact angle test results showed that ever since the fifth layer, contact angles changed alternately and displayed a zigzag profile. Ultraviolet spectrophotometer test results showed that when cultured for 3 hours, the cumulative drug release was about 32.7% and demonstrated an initial burst folowed by sustained release. When cultured for 24 hours, the cumulative drug release about 52.3%. However, after cultured for 7 days, little drug release was detected. And there was about 8.0%-10.0% dexamethasone of initial loading preserved in nanotubes.

Objective To explore the association of Toll-like receptor 4 TLR4 and lipopolysaccharide receptor CD14 gene polymorphisms with Kawasaki disease (KD) susceptibility.Methods Three-color fluorescent staining flow-cytometry was used to detect the expression of TLR4 in peripheral blood white blood cell of 76 KD children and 118 healthy control group.The gene of TLR4 (-896A/G), (-1196C/T) and CD14 (-260C/T) polymorphisms was identified by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphisms; and the relationship between genotype and KD was analyzed.Results 1.The values of mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of TLR4 in peripheral blood white blood cell of the KD groups and the healthy control groups were 2.87?0.96, 10.55?4.87, 23.36?8.28 and 3.26?0.65, 7.55?1.21, 25.41?6.97, respectively; There was a gradual increase of these values on lymphocyte, neutrophilic leukocyte and mononuclear cell in both groups.2.(-896A/G), (-1196C/T) polymorphisms of TLR4 gene were not found in both groups.3.The frequency of each genotype of CD14 gene (-260C/T) was 35.5%CC, 30.3%CT, 34.2%TT in KD group and 38.1%CC, 47.5%CT, 14.4%TT in healthy control group.The frequency of each genotype was significantly different in 2 groups(?2=11.62 P

The paper is to systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of Deng Zhan Xi Xin injection ( DZXXI) as an adjuvant treatment for patients with angina pectoris. The Cochrane Library, Medline, EMbase, CBM, CNKI, VIP, and Wan fang Data base were searched. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of DZXXI combined with western medicine routine treatment versus western medicine routine treatment alone for angina pectoris patients were all included. All trials were assessed according to the Cochrane Reviewer' s Handbook 5.1 for Systematic Reviews of Intervention and Meta analyses were performed by RevMan 5. 2 Software. A total of 30RCTs (3 086 patients including 1 572 patients of treatment group and 1 514 patients of control group) were included. Meta-analysis of treatment group compared with control group showed superior effect over reducing cardiovascular events ( OR = 0.33; 95% CI: [0.16, 0.67], P = 0.002, improving effective rate of DZXXI as adjuvant treatment for angina pectoris patients (OR = 3.97; 95% CI: [3.15, 5.02]; P < 0.000 010 and electrocardiogram curative effect (OR = 2.21; 95% CI; [1.83, 2.68]; P < 0.000 010. Funnel figure seemed that there was publication bias. The current limited evidence showed that when compared with the control group, treatment group was superior in improving patients with angina pectoris. But based on the limitations of the study, rigorous design with long follow up clinical trials are necessary for further evidence.
