Objective To investigate the effects of high loading dose of atorvastatin on lipoprotein-associated phospho?lipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) and inflammatory cytokines in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), who underwent emergen?cy percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods A total of 65 cases with AMI who underwent emergency PCI be?tween October 2011 and August 2013 were randomly divided into two groups:control group (n=32, atorvastatin 20 mg/24 h) and high dose atorvastatin group (n=33, atorvastatin 40 mg/24 h). Two groups of patients were given the same basic treat?ment. Blood samples were obtained before treatment and 72 h after PCI in two groups. Levels of Lp-PLA2, interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) were detected in two groups. The adverse drug reactions were observed. Results There were no significant differences in Lp-PLA2, IL-6, TNF-α, ALT and AST levels between two groups (P>0.05). After PCI, the levels of Lp-PLA2, IL-6 and TNF-αwere significantly increased compared with those of baseline in two groups, and they were more notable in control group than those of high dose atorvastatin group (P<0.05). The levels of ALT and AST were also significantly higher after operation compared with those of basic levels (P<0.05), while there were no significant differences in ALT and AST after PCI between two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion The high loading dose of atorvastatin in AMI patients underwent emergency PCI can de?crease the inflammation and stabilize the plaques in acute stage, and which is safe.

Objective To investigate the effects of ibutilide and amiodarone on the ventricular transmural heteroge-neity of repolarization and ventricular arrhythmia for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. Methods Eighty-seven patients with paroxymal atrial fibrillation at 48 h~7 d were enrolled and randomized to two groups, ibutilide and amiodarone treat-ment groups. The successful rate of cardioversion to sinus rhythm was compared between two groups. The electrocardiograph-ic QT interval and Tpeak-end/QT ratio were also analyzed before and after treatment in two groups. Results The successful rate of cardioversion was significantly higher in ibutilide group than that of amiodarone group (61.7%vs 40.7%, P<0.05). The QT intervals and Tpeak-end/QT ratio were both significantly increased in ibutilide group (P<0.05), which were re-turned to the levels before treatment in 2 hours and 1 hour, respectively (P<0.05). The QT intervals were significantly in-creased in the amiodarone group (P<0.01), which were continued until 4 h after treatment. There were no significant differ-ences in the Tpeak-end/QT ratios before and after treatment (P>0.05). Conclusion The successful rate of cardioversion to sinus rhythm for atrial fibrillation by ibutilide was significantly higher compared with that of amiodarone. Ibutilide slightly in-creased the transmural heterogeneity of repolarization within the first hour, which may increase the risk of ventricular arrhyth-mia.

A method of ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time of flight-mass spectrometry ( UPLC-Q-TOF MS) was developed to determine 35 kinds of illegally added chemical fungicides in pesticide formulations. The samples were pretreated based on the ultrasonic extraction by the solvent of methanol, and then separated on a Zorbax C18(100 mm×1. 8 mm, 2. 1 μm) column by a gradient elution with 0. 1% formic acid aqueous solution and acetonitrile as the mobile phase. The mass spectrometer was operated under positive mode. Under the optimal conditions, the recoveries at three spiked levels (0. 2, 0. 4, and 2. 0 mg/kg) were in the range of 81. 0%-101. 3% and the RSDs were 1. 0%-4. 4%. Based on the developed method, 100 samples were analyzed, and among which 6 samples were screened out chemical fungicides. The proposed method was high-efficient, accurate and reliable for the qualitatively screening of illegaly added chemical fungicides.
