Objective To survey the application of diagnosis and implementation of treatment guidelines of cerebrovascular disease( CAD)combined community acquired pneumonia( CAP)in the community of Shenyang. Methods Randomly chose 7 hospitals in different levels in districts and counties of Shenyang,and made a retrospective survey on the treatments of CAD combined CAP from Oct. 2009 to Jun. 2012 to clear the implementation. Meanwhile,the collected cases were divided into in compliance with guidelines group and non compliance with guidelines group. The information including clinical stable time,length of hospital stay,efficient treatment,empiric therapy and prognosis with the help of guidelines were collected. Results Four hundred and eighty-eight cases were qualified from collected 532 cases,in which,38. 5% initial diagnosis and treatment was accord with the guidelines formulated by the Respiratory Branch of Chinese Medical Association. The efficiency of initial empirical treatment was 84. 5%. The clinical stable time in compliance with guidelines group was (5. 00 ± 0. 27)d,better than that in non compliance with guidelines group((8. 00 ± 0. 45)d;P=0. 021). The length of hospital stay was(11. 00 ± 0. 25)d in compliance with guidelines group,significantly less than that in non compliance with guidelines group(( 14. 00 ± 0. 53 ) d;P =0. 015 ). The effective rate of patients with respiratory failure in compliance with guidelines group was 90. 9%,higher than non compliance with guidelines group(58. 6%),and the difference was significant(P=0. 026),while there were no significant differences in terms of gender,heart and lung diseases. Conclusion There is the smaller patient proportion that diagnosed and cured in accordance with the guidelines formulated by the Respiratory Branch of Chinese Medical Association. It is no distinctive difference for the efficient treatment of guidelines. But selected antibiotic application according to the guidelines can improve the clinical stable time and hospital stay of CAD combined CAP,as well as reduce invalid cases and reduce the mortality rate. The guidelines need to be further extended.

OBJECTIVE To report on concurrent mutations of APC and MLH1 genes identified in a family affected with familial adenomatous polyposis(FAP). METHODS The proband was diagnosed with FAP based on her clinical manifestation, family history and histopathology examination. She developed endometrial epithelial neoplasia(EIN) two years later. With peripheral blood samples collected from her and members of her family, genomic DNA was extracted, and mutations of the APC and MLH1 genes were analyzed by Sanger sequencing. RESULTS Two novel heterozygous mutations were identified respectively in the APC gene(c.637C>T, p.R213X) and the MLH1 gene(c.1153C>T, p.R385C) in the proband. The former has resulted in a truncated protein, while the latter has led to substitution of Arginine by Cystine. CONCLUSION The concurrent mutations of the APC and MLH1 genes probably underline the FAP and Lynch syndrome(LS) in this pedigree. As the first female identified with such mutations, the proband manifested later onset of symptoms with certain degree of variation. For patient with FAP, a detailed family history should be taken.Potential mutation of the APC gene should be screened.Non-intestinal manifestations should be searched. For those who have developed endometrial lesion such as EIN, mutation of the MMR gene (associated with LS) should also be screened.

Objective:To analyze the expression of human leukocyte antigen G (HLA-G) in human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1)-positive T cells, and to investigate its role in the occurrence and development of HTLV-1 infection.Methods:The expression of HLA-G in HTLV-1-positive T cell lines (MT2 and MT4) was detected by Western blot and real-time PCR. HLA-G gene in MT2 and MT4 cells was knocked down by siRNA, and the effects of HLA-G on the expression of HTLV-1 Tax and P19 at mRNA and protein levels were detected by Western blot and real-time PCR. Moreover, the changes in cytokine expression in MT2 and MT4 cells were monitored at RNA level after HLA-G gene silencing. The proliferation ability of MT2 and MT4 cells was analyzed by CCK8. Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) pathway-related proteins were detected by Western blot.Results:Compared with HTLV-1-negative T cells (Jurkat and MOLT4), the expression of HLA-G increased significantly in MT2 and MT4 cells. After knocking down the HLA-G gene with siRNA in MT2 and MT4 cells, the expression of HTLV-1 Tax and P19 at mRNA and protein levels was decreased, and the expression of antiviral cytokines IFN-γ and TNF-α was increased. The proliferation of MT2 and MT4 cells and STAT3 phosphorylation in these cells were decreased.Conclusions:HTLV-1 could induce T cells to overexpress the immune tolerance molecule HLA-G. Silencing HLA-G gene in HTLV-1-positive T cells could promote the production of antiviral cytokines and reduce IL-6 expression and STAT3 phosphorylation, thereby effectively inhibiting the replication of HTLV-1.

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 135 cm Corsair microcatheter inpercutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) with antegrade approach via radial artery. Methods From June 2010 to February 2014, a total of 81 patients with CTO lesions treated with 135cm Corsair microcatheter (Asahi Intec Co, Japan) and transradial antegrade approach was enrolled in this study. The success rate of CTO-PCI, the rate of Corsair microcatheter crossing the CTO lesions and the number of balloon catheters utilization were retrospectively analyzed. Unique complications related to the Corsair microcatheter were also documented. Results Success recanalization of CTO were achieved in 73 (90.1%) patients. Crossing the CTO body with Corsair microcatheter was found in 56(84.8%) patients. The number of balloon utilized after Corsair microcatheter crossing the CTO was much lower than that of patients who Corsair microcatheter failed to cross (1.3±0.6 per patient versus 2.8±1.2per patient, P < 0.05). The success recanalization rate of combined using Fielder XT guidewire with Corsair microcatheter was 51.5%. There was no complications related to Corsair microcatheter during the index procedure, no major adverse cardiac events during in-hospital clinical follow-up. Conclusions Corsair microcatheter was safe and effective in the recanalization for CTO with transradialantegrade approach. It can simplify the CTO-PCI procedure and reduce the number of balloon catheters.

For studying the effects of Mycobacterium tuberculosis secretory protein ESAT-6 on the related functions of macrophages, RAW264.7 cells were transfected with pEGFP-C1-ESAT-6 and pEGFP-C1 by liposome respectively. After screening with a high level of G418, the macrophage cell lines that stably expressed EGFP-ESAT-6 fusion protein or EGFP were established. The gene and protein expression levels were further analyzed by RT-PCR, fluorescence microscopy and Western blotting. The results indicated that the EGFP-ESAT6 fusion gene was integrated into the chromosome and the protein could be stably expressed in the selected macrophage cell line. These results gave us a tool for the future study in the mechanisms of ESAT-6 protein in modulating the macrophage cells.

The appearance and texture of transferred foot flap were good, and the child could walk and run almost normally.

Objective: To investigate the safety and efficacy of rotational atherectomy in the interventional treatment of coronary chronic total occlusion lesions. Methods: In this retrospective study,a total of 31 consecutive patients with coronary chronic total occlusion(CTO) lesions underwent rotational atherectomy in our hospital from February 2004 to December 2016 were enrolled,and the clinical features were analyzed. Coronary atherectomy was performed if balloon failed to cross the CTO lesions or balloon could not be fully dilated in the CTO lesions after wire crossing. The definition of procedure success was defined as residual stenosis less than 20% after implantation of drug eluting stent and rotational atherectomy. After the procedure, the patients were followed up to observe major adverse cardiac and cerebral vascular events which including cardiogenic death, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident, and target lesion revascularization. Results: The 1.25 mm diameter burr was firstly selected in 80.6% (25/31) patients,and 96.8%(30/31) patients used only 1 burr to complete the rotational atherectomy procedure. The complication rate was 9.8% (3/31) including 1 patient with coronary dissection and 3 patients with slow flow or no flow. There was 1 patent with both coronary dissection and slow flow. The procedure success rate was 96.8%(30/31). Interventional treatment related myocardial infarction occurred in 3 patients during hospitalization.The 30 patients with procedure success were followed up 36(11, 96) months. The incidence rate of major adverse cardiac and cerebral vascular events was 13.3% (4/30), of which the cardiogenic death rate was 3.3% (1/30), the myocardial infarction rate was 6.7% (2/30), cerebrovascular accident rate was 3.3%(1/30),and the target lesion revascularization rate was 6.7% (2/30). Conclusion Rotational atherectomy is safe and effective in the interventional treatment of coronary CTO lesions.

Objective:To analyze the effects of two decomposition algorithms of dual-energy cone beam CT (DECBCT) (direct decomposition and iterative decomposition) on the image quality and material decomposition accuracy of different sizes of phantoms.Methods:Different sizes of imaging parts of patients were simulated using the combination of CatPhan604 phantoms and customized annuluses. CBCT with high energy of 140 kVp and low energy of 100 kVp were acquired using the Varian Edge CBCT system. Then the material decomposition of DECBCT images was performed using the two algorithms. The electron density (ED) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of each material in the CTP682 module were calculated. They were used to assess the decomposition accuracy and image quality of the two algorithms.Results:Based on the values in the Catphan604 manual, both algorithms have high ED accuracy. Only the ED accuracy of four materials of the smallest sized phantom showed statistical difference ( z = -4.21, 4.30, 2.87, 5.45, P < 0.05), but the average relative error was less than 1%. The CNR of the iterative decomposition algorithm was significantly higher than that of the direct decomposition, increasing by 51.8%-703.47%. The increase in the phantom size significantly reduced the accuracy of ED, and the increased amplitude of the relative error was up to a maximum of 2.52%. The large phantom size also reduced the image quality of iterative decomposition, and the decreased amplitude of CNR was up to a maximum of 39.71. Conclusions:Compared with the direct decomposition, the iterative decomposition algorithm can significantly reduce the image noise and improve the contrast without losing the accuracy of electron density in the DECBCT construction of different sizes of phantoms.

【Objective】 To investigate the effect of HLA-G expressed in platelets on Tax protein of human T cell leukemia type 1 virus (HTLV-1). 【Methods】 Platelets were isolated from anticoagulant whole blood, and HLA-G molecule on platelet membrane was detected by flow cytometry. The content of secretory HLA-G before and after platelet lysis was detected by ELISA, HTLV-1 human lymphoma cells MT2 were cultured with platelet lysate (PL). The effect of HLA-G in platelets on the expression of HTLV-1 protein Tax was evaluated by Western blot (WB). 【Results】 Membrane type mHLA-G was highly expressed on the surface of platelet membrane. The expression of secretory sHLA-G (ng/mL) increased after platelet lysis (15.73±1.01) vs (6.65±0.47), the expression of sHLA-G increased with the increase of platelet concentration in a dose-dependent manner. Compared with fetal bovine serum, PL significantly promoted the high expression of HLA-G protein and HTLV-1 virus tax protein in MT2 cells, and the addition of anti-HLA-G antibody to PL could effectively inhibit the expression of Tax and HLA-G protein. 【Conclusion】 High expression of immune tolerance molecule HLA-G on platelets can induce high expression of HTLV-1 protein Tax in human lymphoma cell MT2, which contributes to viral infection.
