OBJECTIVE: Interventional occlusion of intracristal ventricular septal defects (IVSD) is a node point. Reports concerning angiography features and successful occlusion of IVSD using domestic occluder are rare. The aim of this paper is to investigate the angiography features of IVSD and the experience of interventional occlusion with domestic occluder. METHODS: Totally 46 cases of IVSD were diagnosed by color Doppler echocardiography that they had interventional indications.According to the short axis view of aortic, they were divided into 4 groups: A (11:30-12:00), B (12:00-12:30), C (12:30-13:00) and D (13:00-13:30). Different groups were performed with adequate angle angiography to show ventricular septal defect, as well as to decide strategy, which to choose occluder and occluded methods.RESULTS: All 46 patients were occluded successful. Technical success rate was 100%, without related complications. A group included 10 cases, B group 13 cases, C group 16 cases and D group 7 cases. The left anterior oblique angle of IVSD left ventricular angiography was greater than other type of VSD, and increased gradually with the changes in the defect location (Group A to D). According to the defect size and different groups, the defects were successfully occluded with symmetric,decentered, zere-decentered type occluder. Modified pigtail catheter was good value in practice occlusion of IVSD.CONCLUSIONS: Left anterior oblique angle in IVSD left ventricular angiography should be bigger. Domestic occluder is safe,effective, with less complication and cost, which can be the first choose for patients with LVSD.

Objective To observe the safety and efficacy of FOLFOX4 regiment in elderly versus young patients with advanced colorectal cancer. Methods There were 61 patients enrolled in this study, with 28 elderly patients aged 70 years and over, 33 young patients aged less than 70 years.They suffered from advanced/recurrent colorectal cancer and received FOLFOX4 regiment (Oxaliplatin +CF+5-FU). Every 14 days were as a cycle, and the therapeutic safety and efficacy were evaluated after three cycles. Adverse events and response to treatment were compared between the elderly and young patients. Results The main adverse effects were myelosuppression, gastrointestinal disturbance and neurotoxicity. The incidence rate of diarrhea was significantly higher in elderly patients than in young patients, but the most of diarrhea were at grade Ⅰ - Ⅱ. The incidence rates of leucocyte decrease and neutrophil decrease were higher in elderly patients than in young patients (92. 8% vs. 78. 8%, 39.3% vs. 36.3%), but there were no statistically significant differences between them. The incidence rate of neurotoxicity was 46.5% in elderly patients and 36.4% in young patients (P>0. 05). The recent efficacy rate was 25%, disease control rate was 71.4% and median time-to-progression (TTP) was 6 months in elderly patients and 24.2%, 84.8% and 7 months in young patients (all P>0.05). Conclusions FOLFOX4 regiment is well-tolerated and effective in both young and elderly patients.

Objective The antimicrobial peptide LL-37 ( LL-37) is the mature form of Human Cationic Antimicrobial Pep-tide of 18kD (hCAP18) and play a certain regulation role in the pathogenesis of asthma .However, the mechanism is unclear.The aim of this study was to investigate the role of inflammatory release from human eosinophils induced by the antimicrobial peptide LL -37 in the pathogenesis of asthma and the underlying mechanisms . Methods Sixteen mild or medium allergic asthma patients from January 2015 to January 2016 in Panzhihua college affiliated hospital were enrolled .Another 16 healthy volunteers were enrolled as control .Pri-mary eosinophils were isolated from peripheral blood .The cells were divided into two groups:asthma group and healthy control group . Cells were divided into blank , PAF, LL37, single cytokine ( IL-5, GM-CSF) and cytokines combined with LL-37 group based on in-tervention (cell treating factors) difference;Cells were divided into PTx, WRW4, suramin, and LL-37 combined with inhibitors group based on inhibitors difference;Cells were grouped into LTD 4 and LTB4 treatment based on leukotrienen difference;ELISA was applied to analyze cysteinyl leukotrienes ( cys-LTs) level in various treatment groups;Western blot was used to detect change of cPLA 2, p-cP-LA2, ERK1/2, p-ERK1/2 in the cells from the control group after PTx and WRW 4 treatment and the level of hCAP 18 after leukot-riene treatment. Results Compared with the control 15 μg/mL LL-37 sub group, the expression of Cys-LTs was increased in the control 30μg/mL LL-37 sub group 15 and 30 minutes after the LL-37 treatment [(54.02±7.15) pg/105 vs (37.86±6.33) pg/105, (53.30±6.99) pg/105 vs (36.27±6.46) pg/105, P<0.05].Compared with the control IL-5 sub group (26.18±4.86) pg/105, the ex-pression of Cys-LTs was increased in the control IL-5+15 μg/mL LL-37 sub group (59.97±6.83) pg/105 and the control IL-5+30μg/mL LL-37 sub group (81.44±13.70) pg/105(P<0.05).Compared with the control sub group , the expression of Cys-LTs was in-creased in the asthma 15 μg/mL LL-37 sub group and the asthma 30μg/mL LL-37 sub group ( P<0.05) .Compared with the control LL-37 sub group, the expression of Cys-LTs was decreased in the control PTx sub group , control WRW4 sub group, control suramin sub group, control PTx +LL-37 sub group, and control WRW4+LL-37 sub group (P<0.05).Western blot results indicated that LL-37 treatment induced the activation and phosphorylation of ERK 1/2 in eosinophil, and PTx and WRW4 blocked the upregulation of pERK1/2 induced by LL-37.Treatment with PD inhibited the phosphorylation of cPLA 2 and the release of Cys-LTs induced by LL-37. hCAP18 was higher in the asthma groups than the healthy control . Conclusion LL-37 was identified as an eosinophil-activating pep-tide that could trigger the release of inflammatory mediators , which might be involved in occurrence and development of asthma through regulating ERK1/2 phosphorylation, inducing cPLA2 phosphorylation and finally initiate synthesis of cys-LTs.This suggests that LL-37/hCAP18 and its signaling pathway might be potential therapeutic targets for asthma .
