Objective To identify predictors of prescription initiation and persistence of warfarin in non-valvular atrial fibrillation ( NVAF ) patients with high risk of stroke ( CHA2 DS2-VASc≥2 ) . Methods NVAF patients consulted in our hospital from Aug , 2011 to Apr, 2015 were enrolled.Patients who underwent radiofrequency catheter ablation were excluded . Patients were divided into two groups (warfarin group and non-warfarin group).Logistic regression was used to estimate the predictors of initiation warfarin prescription.Kaplan-Meier survival and Cox proportional hazards model was performed to determine rate of warfarin persistence and its associated factors .Results A total of 622 AF patients were enrolled and 490 patients with CHA2DS2-VASc≥2.Ten patients lost follow up and 480 patients were followed up with a mean follow-up period of ( 40.0 ±11.55 ) months.Of which 245 NVAF patients ( 51%) had a warfarin prescription.Patients with ischemic stroke ( OR 2.447 , 95%CI 1.435-4.171 , P=0.001 ) , heart failure ( OR 2.009 , 95%CI 1.084-3.724 , P=0.027 ) and persistent AF ( OR 2.231 , 95%CI 1.448-3.437 , P=0.0001 ) had a higher likelihood of warfarin prescription .Anemia ( OR 0.479 , 95%CI 0.238-0.964 , P=0.039), concommitant Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) use (OR 0.638, 95%CI 0.456-0.891, P=0.008 ) and longer distance to hospital ( OR 0.759 , 95%CI 0.610-0.945 , P=0.014 ) decreased the likelihood of warfarin prescription . One hundred and seventy-six ( 71.8%) warfarin users continued persistent therapy and the overall proportion of warfarin persistence was 78.3% for one year , 71.0% for 3 years.Seventy-six existing warfarin users continued the warfarin therapy (80%, 76/95),one hundred new users showed persistence to therapy ( 66.7%, 100/150 ) .Warfarin use before enrollment significantly increased warfarin persistence than new prescription ( P =0.008 ) .Variables associated with higher discontinuation were new prescription ( HR 1.786 , 95% CI 1.029-3.100 , P=0.039 ) , TCM use ( HR 1.687 , 95%CI 1.201-2.37 , P=0.003 ) and longer distance to hospital ( HR 1.446 , 95% CI 1.121-1.865, P=0.005).Conclusions In anticoagulation clinic, concommitant TCM use, distance to hospital and other factors were associated with warfarin initiation prescription and persistence .Identifying factors associated with warfarin treatment could help in developing adherence of patients .

Objective To examine the neural basis of item memory and source memory with fMRI approach.Methods Eight male and eight female healthy fight-handed native Chinese speakers were involved in this study.The item memory and source memory task were conducted with 504 highly frequent Chinese double-character words in the Block-designed experiment.Participants underwent such a double- round procedure as fMRI scanning following study.The fMRI data collected from a GE 1.5T MRI system were analyzed to generate corresponding activation maps for females and males respectively(P20)using statistical parametric mapping software(SPM).Results For females,item memory task activated the bilateral dorsolateral prefrontal cortex(BA6,the number of activated voxel clusters was 62 or 11 in the left and the right,respectively),source memory more activated the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex(BA6/46,the number was 59).For males,item memory activated the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex(BA6/46,the number was 64),source memory activated the bilateral dorsolateral prefrontal cortex(BA6,9 and 40 in the left and the right).Conclusion On the neural basis of item or source memory,there exists dissociation,which is that right dorsolateral prefrontal areas are more activated by item memory while left dorsolateral prefrontal areas by source memory.For the difference of gender,it is suggested that left dorsolateral prefrontal areas(BA6/46)are more activated in females while right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex(BA6/46)more in males.

In this paper, a new method of combining translation invariant (TI) and wavelet-threshold (WT) algorithm to distinguish weak and overlapping signals of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) is presented. First, the 1H-MRS spectrum signal is transformed into wavelet domain and then its wavelet coefficients are obtained. Then, the TI method and WT method are applied to detect the weak signals overlapped by the strong ones. Through the analysis of the simulation data, we can see that both frequency and amplitude information of small-signals can be obtained accurately by the algorithm, and through the combination with the method of signal fitting, quantitative calculation of the area under weak signals peaks can be realized.

AlM: To investigate expressions of matrix metalloproteinase-2 ( MMP-2 ) and extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer ( EMMPRlN) in retinoblastoma (Rb) and the relationships between MMP-2, EMMPRlN and tumor development.METHODS:lmmunohistochemical technique was used to detect expressions of MMP-2 and EMMPRlN in 39 cases of paraffin embedded Rb samples. Quantitative analysis of expressions of MMP-2 and EMMPRlN were assessed by measuring the mean gray scale of Rb tissue with LElCA lM50 Color Pathologic Analysis System. The differences of expressions of MMP-2 and EMMPRlN in each clinical and pathological stage were statistically analyzed, and the same step was also undertaken to study the relationship between Rb with MMP-2 positive expression and that with EMMPRlN positive expression.RESULTS:The positive expression rate of MMP-2 was 90% (Gray value: 109. 64 ± 14. 52; 35/39), and that of EMMPRlN was 85% (Gray value:108. 01±13. 60;33/39). The expressions of MMP - 2 and EMMPRlN were significantly higher in tumors of glaucomatous stage (Gray value:108. 21±11. 47 and 107. 56±14. 32) than those in intraocular stage ( Gray value: 121. 13 ± 11. 32 and 119. 34 ± 12. 66; P<0. 01 and P<0. 05). And the same conclusion can be concluded between those in extraocular stage (Gray value: 91. 03 ± 11. 71 and 92. 26 ± 12. 93) with those in glaucomatous stage (P<0. 01 and P<0. 05). The expressions of MMP-2 and EMMPRlN were significantly higher in tumors with optic nerve invasion (Gray value:103. 89±13. 39 and 105. 23±14. 00) than those without optic nerve invasion ( Gray value: 118. 39 ± 15. 11 and 117. 53±16. 13) (P<0. 01 and P<0. 05).CONCLUSlON:The positive expression levels of MMP-2 and EMMPRlN may correlate with tumor infiltration and metastasis.

Objective To investigate certain risk factors for postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF) in elderly patients with coronary heart disease after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB)surgery in order to provide a basis for the prevention and treatment of AF after OPCAB.Methods A total of 139 elderly patients with coronary heart disease who had undergone OPCAB surgery in our hospital were collected as research subjects and divided into the AF group and the nonAF group according to the occurrence of AF after operation.The patients' general information and clinical data were retrospectively analyzed.Risk factors for AF after OPCAB surgery in elderly patients with coronary heart disease were investigated.Results The incidence of AF after OPCAB was 15.8％ in elderly patients with coronary heart disease.There were no statistical differences in gender,history of diabetes,history of myocardial infarction,preoperative β-blocker usage,number of coronary artery lesions,or operation time between the AF group and the non-AF group (P＞0.05).The percentage of patients who were of older age (t=9.960) or had a left ventricular ejection fraction ≥40％ (x2=4.942),a left atrial diameter ≥40 mm (x2 =4.491),a history of hypertension (x2 =12.357),dopamine medication after operation (x2 =8.511),or a bypass vessel count≥ 3 (x2 =5.385) was higher in the AF group than in the non-AF group (all P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that age,history of hypertension,dopamine medication after operation,left atrial diameter and bypass vessel count were the risk factors for AF after OPCAB surgery in elderly patients with coronary heart disease (OR 3.080,2.435,2.465,3.593,and 1.921,respectively,P＜0.05 for all).Conclusions The incidence of AF after OPCAB is high in elderly patients with coronary heart disease and is affected by many risk factors.These risk factors should be assessed before surgery so that appropriate prevention measures can be taken.
