Objective To investigate the effect of time from myocardial infarction (MI) onset to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on plasma matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) level and left ventricle (LV) remodeling in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction of anterior wall,and the relationship between MMPs and left ventricular remodeling.Methods All patients with anterior wall STEMI undergoing PCI were divided into early PCI group (PCI within 18 h after MI onset) and delayed PCI group (PCI between 2 and 3 weeks after MI onset).Plasma MMP-2 and MMP-9 activities were assayed on admission,and at 2 days,1 week after admission.One-year follow-up was finished after PCI.Left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV),left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV) and left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) were measured by echocardiography at baseline and one year later to elucidate the effects of time from onset to PCI on LV remodeling and the relationship between MMP-2,-9 levels and LV remodeling.Results The MMP -9 activity at 2 days after myocardial infarction was lower in early PCI group than in delayed PCI group [(46±26)μg/L vs.(66±40) μg/L,P=0.000].The changes in LVEDV and LVESV (△LVEDV and △LVESV) were lower and the change in LVEF (△LVEF) was higher in early PCI group than in delayed PCI group [(10.9±6.2) ml vs.(15.0±6.0)ml,(-1.1±5.7) ml vs.(2.9±4.6) ml,(5.5 ±4.0) ％ vs.(3.8±3.4) ％,P=0.000,0.000 and 0.015].MMP-9 had positive correlations with △LVEDV and △LVESV,and a negative correlation with △LVEF at admission and after 1-year follow-up (r=0.32,0.36 and-0.29,respectively,P=0.000,0.000 and 0.001).Conclusions MMP-9 activity at admission is correlated with LV remodeling and LV function.Early PCI can reduce MMP-9 activity and improve LV remodeling after myocardial infarction.

Objectives To evaluate the performances of transcranial Doppler (TCD) and vessel-encoded arterial spin labeling MRI perfusion imaging (VE-ASL) in the evaluation of collateral circulation of cerebral arteries. Methods Thirty patients with unilateral ICA or MCA stenosis diagnosed by TCD and carotid duplex ultrasound and confirmed by MRA underwent VE-ASL. Peak systolic velocity (PSV) of bilateral MCA in the same depth, distal to the stenosis site, was recorded. Cerebral blood flow (CBF) in bilateral MCA territories was measured by VE-ASL. The detection rates of collater-al flow using TCD and VE-ASL were compared. Results TCD revealed that PSV in the ipsilateral and contralateral MCA were (31.6 ± 10.5) cm/s and (83.1 ± 9.2) cm/s, respectively. VE_ASL revealed that CBF in the ipsilateral and contralateral MCA territory were (22.5±9.8) mL·min-1·100g-1 and (31.7±8.3) mL·min-1·100g-1, respectively. The PSV ratio of the ipsi-lateral/contralateral MCA was significantly lower than the CBF ratio of the ipsilateral/contralateral MCA(0.37 ± 0.173 vs. 0.66±0.141, P=0.001). The detection rates of collateral flow using TCD were lower than those using VE-ASL. The detec-tion rate was 26.7% vs. 70% on TCD vs. VE-ASL in anterior collateral circulation (P=0.001), was 16.7% vs. 60% (P<0.001) on TCD vs. VE-ASL in posterior collateral circulation. The total display rate of collateral flow was 36.7%vs. 86.7%on TCD vs. VE-ASL (P<0.001). Conclusions TCD is inferior to VE-ASL in evaluating the collateral circulation because of the limitations including the anatomical variations of the circle of Willis and formation of leptomenigeal anastomoses.

Objective To evaluate the acute side effects and efficacy of three dimensional conformal radiotherapy(3DCRT) combined with chemotherapy(CT) for locally advanced non small cell lung cancer(LANSCLC). Methods From Sept. 2000 to Dec.2001,24 patients with LANSCLC were treated with three dimensional conformal radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy navelbine+cisplatin NP. Results The overall response rate(CR+PR)was 91.7% for the primary tumor, and 100% for metastatic mediastinal lymph nodes.The leucopenia rate was 95.8%(54.2% grades 3,4). Acute radiation esophagitis occurred in 54.2% of patients(Grades 1,2). Acute radiation pneumonitis was observed in 12.5% of patients (Grades1,2). Conclusions 3DCRT combined with CT is well tolerated in most patients with LANSCLC. Its early responses are milder than the conventional radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy . Remote results await further follow up.

BACKGROUND:The treatment of displaced acetabular fractures consists of formal open reduction and internal fixation.However,extensile exposure can lead to a lot of complications Percutaneous screw fixation for acetabukar fractures can decrease these complications Recently developed fluoroscopic-based computerized navigation technology not only allows the surgeon to achieve maximum accuracy of screw fixation but also significantly reduce radiation exposure time.OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the clinical application of the fluoroscopic-based computerized navigation system for percutaneous screwing for acetabular fractures.METHODS:A total of 18 adult patients with 20 non-displaced and displaced acetabular fractures were treated with percutaneous screw fixation under the guidance of a fluoroscopy-based navigation system.All acetabular fractures were acetabular anterior column fractures and posterior column fractures,which were fixed by varied hollow screws Static muscle contraction and limited active and passive motion were performed at 2 days,and weight-bearing exercise was performed at 4 weeks after operation.The time of screw implantation,screw position deviation,screw biocompatibility,as well as adverse effect after screw implantation was observed.In addition.d'Aubigne and Postel scoring was used in follow-up.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 30 acetabular screws were inserted.The average operation time for per screw was24.1 minutes from the image acquisition to wound closure.The average fluoroscopic time for per screw was 27.6 seconds.Compared to the final position of the screw,the average wire tip error was 1.5 mm and the average trajectory difference was2.25°.One patient sustained a transient femoral nerve palsy which was attribute to reduction clamp inserting from the use of the limited open reduction method rather than screw fixation itself and resolved 2 months after the operation.No evidence was noted of secondary displacement of the fragment or screw failure Using the rating system of d'Aubigne and Postel,13 patients had excellent results,4 patients had good results,and 1 patient had a fair result.The excellent to good rate was 94%All results demonstrated that percutaneous screw fixation of acetabular fractures with fluoroscopy-based navigation can produce excellent results in selected patients with non-displaced and displaced fracture amenable to closed or limited open reduction,which becomes a safe and effective alternative to traditional open reduction and internal fixation for the treatment of certain acetabular fractures.

Objective To study the differences in retinoic acid receptor γ(RARγ) mRNA expression levels in blood leukocytes between antipsychotic-free and antipsychotic-naive schizophrenic patients and healthy control,especially in different genders. Methods Forty-three acute schizophrenic patients who were antipsychotic-naive or antipsychotic-free for at least three months (male = 34, female = 9) and 39 age- and sex-matched healthy subjects (male =25 ,female = 14) were included for blood leukocytes expression of RAR γ mRNA ,using real-time PCR technique. Results Kolmogorov-Smirnov Z analysis showed a significant increase of RARγ mRNA (P =0.041) level in blood leukocytes of pooled schizophrenic patients(0. 027 ± 0. 003) than in the healthy subjects (0. 020 ± 0.002). The elevation was mainly found in the female patients (0. 030 ± 0.003). Within-sex analysis showed that the female schizophrenic patients showed a trend increase (P = 0. 166) of RAR γmRNA expression compared with the male patients (0. 026 ± 0. 001) and exhibited greater RARγ mRNA expression (P = 0. 014)when compared with the female healthy subjects(0. 018 ±0.004). Conclusions The present findings showed an abnormal expression of leukocyte RARγ mRNA level in antipsychotic-free and antipsychotic-naive schizophrenia especially in the female patients. Blood RARγ markers could add to the diagnosis and individualized pharmacotherapy of schizophrenic patients ,especially the female patients.

BACKGROUND: Infection following kidney transplantation has become one of the main reasons for graft failure and death of allograft recipients. However, there is not a standard therapeutic scheme for infection following kidney transplantation. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical features and treatment measures of infection, additionally, to increase the cure rate of infection following kidney transplantation.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A retrospectively analysis was performed at the Organ Transplantation Center, the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical College from February 2006 to February 2008.PARTClPANTS: Eighteen cases of infections in 84 kidney allograft recipients.METHODS: All cases were checked by chest X-ray. Patients who had no significant lung infection symptoms or obvious signs received lung CT scan. Pathogen detection was performed, including hemoculture, urine culture, sputum culture, nose swabs culture, throat swab culture, checking clinically important cytomegalovirus (CMV), EB-DNA and mycoplasma in blood, acid-fast bacilli and eumycete culture in sputum. All cases of pulmonary infection underwent a comprehensive treatment-antiviral drugs, antibiotics and antifungal. Depending on the individual condition and absolute values of lymphocytes and CD4+T cells, the immunosuppressant was adjusted individually. The occurrence time, clinical symptom, auxiliary examination and treatment strategies were analyzed.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The occurrence time of infection and clinical symptoms; imaging manifestation and results of pathogenic detection; selection of antibiotics and immunosuppressant adjustment.RESULTS: Among 18 cases, 11 cases (61.2%) were deceased-donor kidney transplant recipients. Inflection following kidney transplantation occurred in 12 cases (66.7%) within 3 months, and increased to 15 cases (83.3%) within 3-6 months. Of the 18 infection cases, 14 cases (77.8%) had a main symptom of fever. There were 15 cases (83.3%) of respiratory tract infection, including 13 cases (72.2%) of pulmonary infection. Fungal cultivation, especially Monilia, was positive in 6 cases. Three out of the 18 cases (16.7%) died, two of whom had CMV infection. Mixed infection occurred in all cases.CONCLUSION: Infected patients following kidney transplantation present with diversity pathogens, which are dominated by bacteria, fungus and virus. Severe pneumonia combined with CMV infection demonstrates that poor prognosis, fungal and virus infection following kidney transplantation should be given more attention. Combined de-escalation therapy is the main method, and timely adjustment and even discontinuance of immunosupprassive agents is one of the key points in the treatment of infection following kidney transplantation

Objective:To construct a replication-deficient adenovirus carrying p16 gene and to investigate its anti-tumor activity on human gastric cancer xenografts in nude mice.Methods:p16 cDNA was amplified by PCR and was inserted into the plasmid pSuCMV,the latter was then used to recombine the replication-deficient adenovirus AdCMV-p16 in 293 cells.Human SGC-7901 gastric cancer xenograft models were established in nude mice and were divided into 3 groups:AdCMV-p16,Ad-LacZ,and control groups.Mice in AdCMV-p16 group received intratumoral injections of 2?108 pfu/100 l AdCMV-p16(injected every other day for 5 times).Mice in control group received the same volume of virus preserving solution.The tumor volumes were measured at predefined time points.The anti-tumor effect of AdCMV-p16 was observed by p16 immunochemical study and TUNEL detection of cell apoptosis.Results:The replication-deficient adenovirus expressing p16 gene evidently inhibited the growth of human gastric cancer xenografts in nude mice(P0.05),only with a inhibition rate of 4.26%.The pathological examination showed that apoptoses were the main changes in AdCMV-p16 group,and p16 gene was found in the cancer cells.Conclusion:The replication-deficient adenovirus harboring p16 gene can recover the expression of p16 in gastric cancer cells and subsequently inhibit the growth of human gastric cancer.
