Objective:To discuss effect of nicorandil on unstable angina patients With persistent Weakly positive for troponin I (TnI).Methods:A total of 111 unstable angina patients With persistent Weakly positive for TnI Were randomly divided into control group (received routine treatment,55 cases) and intervention group (received nic-orandil 5mg,3 times/d based on routine treatment,56 cases).The relief of chest pain in one Week,the recurrent hospitalization for chest pain aggravation in 3 months and the cardiac mortality rate in one year betWeen tWo groups Were observed in tWo groups. Results:Compared With control group,the relief of angina pectoris in one Week (63.6% vs. 91.1%,χ2=11.97,P=0.0005)significantly increased,re-hospitalization for chest pain aggravation in three months (56.4% vs.19.6%,χ2=15.91,P=0.0001)significantly decreased in intervention group;but cardiac mortality rate during one year betWeen tWo groups Was no significant difference (5.5% vs. 8.9%,χ2=0.50,P=0.4792).Conclusion:Nicorandil can significantly reduce the unstable angina and re-hospitalization for chest pain aggravation in patients With persistent Weakly positive for TnI,but there Was no significant difference in reducing mortality Within one year betWeen tWo groups.

Objective To investigate the treatment and prevention strategies of hematomas in operation area after anterior approach surgery for cervical spondylosis.Methods A retrospective review was conducted on 12 with hematoma compression in operation area out of 785 patients managed by anterior cervical surgery from January 2007 to July 2013,including 10 males and 2 females at age ranging from 40-71 years (mean 56.8 years).Surgery method was anterior cervical corpectomy and interbody fusion using titanium mesh cage plus plate and intraoperative blood loss was 300-1 200 ml.Primary clinical manifestations were neurological dysfunction in 5 patients,dyspnea in 6,and both neurological dysfunction and dyspnea in 1.There were 10 patients with the presence of symptoms at postoperative 0.5-22 hours,1 at postoperative 73 hours,and 1 at postoperative 74 hours.All the 12 patients underwent a second anterior cervical exploration.Results There were 5 patients with epidural hematoma,6 with subcutaneous hematoma,and 1 with both hematomas.After surgical interventions,the patients presented improvement in respiratory and neurological function,with inapparent respiratory abnormality and improved neurological function at discharge.One patient was died of cardiovascular-associated disease after being discharged from hospital.The left 11 patients were followed up for mean 19.8 months (range,6-43 months),with improved Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score at final follow-up.Conclusions Hematoma took place frequently in the early period,especially within 24 hours in operation area after anterior approach to cervical disorders and close attention should be paid to respiratory and limb sensation and motion functions.Early detection and early surgical interventions are the key countermeasures to avoiding the severe results.

AIM: To investigate the functional role of TGF-?_1 signal protein Smad2/3 in tubulointerstitial fibrosis associated with unilateral ureteral obstruction in rats. METHODS: The unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) model was induced by the ligation of left ureter. Rats were sacrificed at 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days after UUO was initiated. TGF?_1 protein, phosphorylated Smad2/3 and interstitial ?-smooth muscle actin (?-SMA) expression were assayed by immunohistochemical staining. TGF-?_1 mRNA in the obstructed kidney was analyzed with in situ hybridration. HE and Masson staining were used for histological and morphometric studies of the pathological change in obstructed kidney. RESULTS: The results showed that upregulation of TGF-?_1 in tubulointerstitium of both cortex and medulla at day 3 (a 3.1 fold increase vs control, P

AIM:To investigate the expression and probable role of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase(ERK1/2)in renal fibrosis associated with diabetic in mice.METHODS:Male homozygous C57BL/6 mice were divided at random into control group(intraperitoneally injected with citrate buffer)and diabetes group(received 5 consecutive daily intraperitoneal injections of streptozotocin at dose of 50 mg?kg-1?d-1).All mice were followed up for 16 weeks.Diabetes was confirmed by serum glucose levels exceeding 16.7 mmol/L.Mice were killed at 0,4,8,12 and 16 weeks respectively after streptozotocin injection.The kidney tissues were obtained from diabetic and control mice.Serum glucose,kidney weight/body weight(KW/BW),24 h albumin excretion rate(UAE)and the serum creatinine(Scr)were measured.The kidney tissue was used for histological and morphometric studies of glomerular size,glomerular matrix expansion(PAS),and the expression of TGF-?1,phosphorylated ERK1/2 and collagen Ⅲ by immunohistochemical staining.RESULTS:The serum level of glucose in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice increased significantly.The kidney weight/body weight ratio,glomerular volume and glomerular matrix expansion in diabetic mice were obviously higher than those in control mice.Serum creatinine and 24 h albumin excretion rate in diabetic mice increased significantly compared with control mice.TGF-?1,phosphorylated ERK1/2 and collagen Ⅲ levels were obviously increased in the kidney of diabetic mice compared with those in control mice(P

Objective To explore the role of sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin-one (Siglec-1) in the process of atherosclerotic inflammation induced by oxidized low-density hpepmtein (ox-LDL). Methods Ox-LDL was synthesized by oxidization of native LDL and different concentration of ox-LDL was added to the culture medium of RAW264.7. Forty-eight hours later, cells and supernatants were collected separately. The expression of Siglec-1 protein and mRNA were measured by flow cytometry(FCM) and real-time quantitative RT-PCR, respectively. The levels of monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), macrophage inflammatory protein-1α(MIP-1α) and IL-8 in supernatants were determined by ELISA. Re-sults By the stimulation of ox-LDL, Siglec-1 protein and mRNA on RAW264.7 cells were significantly in-creased, meanwhile, the cytokines levels in culture supematants were significantly higher than that in the control group. And both Siglec-1 expression and cytokine secretion were ox-LDL dose-dependent. Conclu-sion Ox-LDL can increase Siglec-1 protein and mRNA expression and some inflammatory cytokines secre-tion on RAW264.7 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Manifested by enhanced Siglec-1 expression, the acti-vated macmphages may take a part in the development and progression of atherosclerosis.

Coronaviruses (CoVs) are generally associated with respiratory and enteric infections and have long been recognized as important pathogens of livestock and companion animals. Mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) is a widely studied model system for Coronavirus replication and pathogenesis. In this study, we created a MHV-A59 temperature sensitive (ts) mutant Wu"-ts18(cd) using the recombinant vaccinia reverse genetics system. Virus replication assay in 17C1-1 cells showed the plaque phenotype and replication characterization of constructed Wu"-ts18(cd) were indistinguishable from the reported ts mutant Wu"-ts 18. Then we cultured the ts mutant Wu"-ts 18(cd) at non-permissive temperature 39.5℃, which "forced" the ts recombinant virus to use second-site mutation to revert from a ts to a non-ts phenotype. Sequence analysis showed most of the revertants had the same single amino acid mutation at Nsp16 position 43. The single amino acid mutation at Nsp16 position 76 or position 130 could also revert the ts mutant Wu"-ts 18 (cd) to non-ts phenotype, an additional independent mutation in Nsp13 position 115 played an important role on plaque size. The results provided us with genetic information on the functional determinants of Nsp16. This allowed us to build up a more reasonable model of CoVs replication-transcription complex.

Objective To observe the effect of movement exercise combined with electroaeupuneture on the expression of Nestin in the hippocampus dentate gyrus (DG) after cerebral ischemia-repeffusion.Methods Fifty- four Wistar rats were used and randomly divided into a control group (Group A),an exercise training group (Group B),and an exercise training combined with electroacupuncture group (Group C).The middle cerebral arteries (MCA) of all the rats were occluded for 1 h,followed by reperfusion for 7,14 and 21 davs.Immunohistochemistry method was used to detect the expression of Nestin in the hippoeampus dentate gyrus.Results The number of Nes- tin-positive cells peaked in DG in all groups on the 7th day after cerebral isehemia-reperfusion.The number of Nes- tin-positive cells in DG ipsilateral to the ischemia-reperfusion lesion were significantly more than those in the opposite side at various time points (P
