Objective To investigate the effects of FKBP12.6 gene transfection on the contractility of ventricular myocytes of rats with heart failure.Methods Rat model of heart failure was established by a surgical operation of abdominal aortic stenosis.The enzymatic hydrolysis was employed to isolate the rats' ventricular myocytes.Mediated by adenovirus the FKBP12.6 gene was transfected into ventricular myocytes.Ad-GFP infected cardiac myocytes from heart failure rats and normal rats were used as control.Western blotting and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) were used to detect the specific overexpression of FKBP12.6.Transfected ventricular myocytes were loaded with the membrane-permeant Ca2+ dye X-rhod-1-AM.Under the condition of field stimulation,the laser confocal microscope in line-scan and plane-scan mode was used to detect the Ca2+ transients and myocytes contraction.Results The mRNA and protein levels of FKBP12.6 in the myocytes of rats with heart failure were significantly lower than that in normal myocytes(0.47?0.08 vs 0.96?0.12,0.25?0.04 vs 0.48?0.07,P

Objective To observe the effect of early intervention on motor and mental development in premature infants. Methods 108 cases of hospital-born premature infants were divided into early intervention group (n=57) and control group (n=51). All the cases accepted conventional treatment and health-care, and the intervention group accepted the early intervention in addition. They were assessed with psychomotor development index (PDI) and mental development index (MDI) of Bayley Scales of Infant Development when they were 1 or 2 years old. The incidence of cerebral palsy when they were 2 years old were recorded. Results 2 cases (1 for each) lost during the follow-up.The PDI and MDI were more in the intervention group than in the control group (P<0.05), both as the 1 and 2 years old. The incidence of cerebral palsy was less in the intervention group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The early intervention can promote mental and motor development in premature infants, and reduce the incidence of cerebral palsy later.

Objective:To explore the preoperative diagnostic value of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN).Methods:Data of 62 patients with IPMN confirmed by pathology who underwent EUS before surgery from 2008 to 2018 in Peking Union Medical College Hospital were analyzed. Characteristics that could distinguish low-grade dysplasia (LGD), high-grade dysplasia (HGD) and invasive carcinoma (IC) were explored. A scoring system based on EUS findings was established to determine the preoperative pathology of IPMN by using logistic model.Results:Of the 62 patients, 15 (24.2%) were diagnosed as having LGD, 20 (32.3%) HGD and 27 (43.5%) IC. Univariate analysis showed that the size of mural nodules and width of main pancreatic duct (MPD) were predictive factors for IPMN pathology. The possibility of higher pathological grading would increase 8% for every 1 mm increment in mural nodules. Multivariate analysis showed that only mural nodules≥5 mm ( OR=7.31, 95% CI : 2.49-21.40, P<0.001) was an independent risk factor to distinguish LGD, HGD and IC. Mural nodules≥5 mm, main pancreatic duct (MPD)≥10 mm and mural nodules <5 mm were assigned 2 points, 1 point and 1 point, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, and area under receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC) of the EUS scoring system to distinguish benign and malignant IPMN were 0.830, 0.867, and 0.867, respectively. Conclusion:Preoperative EUS helps to distinguish LGD, HGD and IC. The size of mural nodules and the width of MPD are vital risk factors to distinguish benign and malignant IPMN.

Objective To investigate the effects of minimally invasive intracranial hematoma clearance on the perihematomal glutamate(Glu) level,permeability of blood-brain barrier(BBB) and brain edema.Methods Thirty rabbits with body weight of 2.80-3.40 kg were used to established the model of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH) and randomly divided into the minimally invasive group(MI) and control group(MC) after the model was prepared successfully.The MI group underwent minimally invasive procedures for removing intracranial hematoma by stereotactic instrument within 6 h after establishing the ICH model.The brain tissue was extracted on postoperative 1,3,7 d,and the perihematomal brain tissues were taken to detect the Glu level,BBB permeability and water content of brain tissue,which were compared with those in the control group.Results The Glu level,BBB permeability and brain water content on 1,3,7 d in the MI group were lower than those in the MC group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The minimally invasive surgery for removing intracranial hematoma is helpful to reduce perihematoma Glu level,BBB permeability and brain water content.

BACKGROUND:A series of pathological changes were found in atlas, including atlas dislocation, atlanto-occipital junction instability and vertebral fractures. Atlantoaxial pedicle screw, nail and rod fixation or nail plate fixation is a novel repair method recently proposed, and has certain advantages. OBJECTIVE:To compare the repair effects of atlas pedicle screw on different types of atlas lesions. METHODS:A total of 42 fresh vertebrae were obtained from Department of Human Anatomy, Basic Medical School, Inner Mongolia Medical University. In accordance with bone thickness of sagittal vertebral artery groove bottom, vertebrae were divided into three types:type I (common type), type II (light variation), and type III (severe variation). Al samples were subjected to atlas pedicle screw fixation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The screw pul out force in different bone densities of vertebrae was not the same. Vertebrae with great thickness and great bone density had big screw pul out force (P<0.05). However, the screw in different cortical bone of vertebrae had the same function. No compression on blood vessels or phenomenon affecting vertebral activity was visible. These results indicated that atlas pedicle screw implantation showed good safety, no side effects, did not affect the normal work and life of patients.
