Objective To examine the expression of macrophage migration inhibitory factor(MIF)in lung tissues of rats with experimental pulmonary fibrosis and to discuss its effects on pulmonary fibrosis.Methods36 male SD rats were randomly divided into two groups:the pulmonary fibrosis group and the control group.Rat pulmonary fibrosis was induced by an intratracheal injection of bleomycin.The following tests were undedaken: HE and Masson staining of lung section,immunohistochemical staining of protein of MIF in the lung,RT-PCR of MIFmRNA in the lung.ResultsCompared with the control group,the mRNA and protein expression of lung MIF on day 7 to 28 in pulmonary fibrosis increased and reached the peak on day 14 after an intratracheal injection of bleomycin(P

Objective: To access the application of percutaneous coronary angioplasty via radial artery in treatment of acute myocardial infarction. Methods: Totally 107 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were included in this study. Transradial approach (group A) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was used in 56 patients and the transfemoral approach (group B) PCI was used in 51 patients. The successful rates of puncture procedure and PCI, time of artery carmulation, the carmulation to balloon inflation times, the total procedure time, and local puncture complications were compared between the 2 groups. Results: The successful rates of puncture procedure were IN% in both groups and their successful rates of PCI were higher than 96%. The time of artery carmulation, the cannulation to balloon inflation time, and the total procedure time were similar in group A and group B ([2.93±0.42] min vs [3.07±0.54] min, P=0.14; [17.23±3.47] min vs [16.81±4.86] min, P=0.61; [47.04±7.53] min vs [48.74±6.22] min, P=0.21, respectively). The incidence of bleeding and edema around puncture sites in group B was higher than that in group A (5/51 vs 0/56, P=0.016 4); the vagal reaction rate in group B was higher than that in group B (4/51 vs 0/56, P=0.032 7). Conclusion: Transradial access is a safe and feasible technique for performing percutaneous coronary intervention in treatment of acute myocardial infarction; it can decrease major bleeding complications.

Objective To investigate the correlation between NT‐proBNP ,hs‐CRP level ,echocardiography and early avascu‐lar necrosis of coronary artery syndrome (ACS) ,coronary artery lesion degree .Methods 142 patients admitted in this hospital for chest pain from March 2013 to February 2014 were enrolled ,and all patients′history ,electrocardiogram (ECG) ,plasma levels of N‐terminal pro‐Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT‐proBNP) ,hypersensitive C‐reative protein (hs‐CRP) and cTnT were recorded or tested within 24 hours ,while left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular end‐diastolic diameter (LVEDd) were recorded by echocardiography .According to the history and coronary angiography results conducted during hospitalization ,patients were di‐vided into acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) group ,acute non‐ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) group ,unstable angina pectoris (UA) group and control group (normal coronary angiography ,cTnT and ECG) .Pa‐tients with abnormal coronary angiography results were further divided into single vessel lesion group ,double vessel lesion group and triple vessel lesion group .The differences of plasma NT‐proBNP level ,hs‐CRP level and LVEF in each group ,and multivariate linear regression analysis were conducted to find out the independent risk factors for elevated plasma NT‐proBNP .Results 102 ACS patients and 40 normal patients were enrolled .Plasma levels of NT‐proBNP ,hs‐CRP and LVEF in NSTEMI group (n=30) and STEMI group (n=32) were significant different from UA group (n=40) and control group (n=40) respectively (P<0 .05) . The NT‐proBNP levels in control group and triple vessel lesion group (n=41) were respectively significant different from both sin‐gle vessel lesion group (n=30) and double vessel lesion group (n=31) (P<0 .05) .Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that ,plasma hs‐CRP level (P=0 .007) ,coronary artery lesion degree (P=0 .00) and history of diabetes (P=0 .006) were positive associated factors of NT‐proBNP level ,while LVEF was the negative associated factors of NT‐proBNP level(P=0 .036) .Conclusion Plasma NT‐proBNP level ,hs‐CRP level and LVEF are closely related to ACS ,and they might play an important role in determi‐ning the extent of early ischemic necrosis and clinical classification .Plasma NT‐proBNP level could be an important molecular mark‐er to reflect the degree of coronary artery lesion .

Epigenetics refers to the changes of heritable gene expression without modification of DNA sequences which is one of major research interest of human genome study post gene era. Epigenetics may play an important role in the pathogenesis of retinal diseases. Epigenetics modification in the regulation of gene expression and function mainly includes DNA methylation,histone acetylation and non-coding RNA such as miRNA. The implication of epigenetics has been suggested with the pathogenesis of retinal fibrosis, retinitis pigmentosa, age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. In addition, the epigenetics drug has potential to be used in the treatment of retinal diseases.
