Objective:To explore the application value of combined detection of troponin I (cTnI) and creatine kinase isoenzyme mass (CKMBmass), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and fibrinogen degradation products (FDP) in the diagnosis and treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods:A total of 102 AMI patients in Wanbei Coal Power Group General Hospital from July 2019 to June 2020 were selected as the AMI group. In addition, 60 patients diagnosed with chest pain (CP) and chest distress (CD) during the same period were selected as the CPCD group, and 60 healthy patients were selected as the healthy control group. The levels of cTnI, CKMBmass, IL-6 and FDP in the peripheral blood of the three groups were compared, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of cTnI, CKMBmass, IL-6, and FDP. The AMI group was given thrombolytic therapy. The clinical data of patients with different curative effects, the trend of changes in peripheral blood cTnI, CKMBmass, IL-6 and FDP levels before and after treatment were compared, and the relationship between the above indicators and clinical indicators and curative effects were analyzed.Results:The levels of peripheral blood cTnI, CKMBmass, IL-6 and FDP in the AMI group were higher than those in the CPCD group and the healthy control group, and the levels of peripheral blood cTnI, CKMBmass, IL-6 and FDP in CPCD group were higher than those in the healthy control group ( P<0.05). The area under the curve (AUC) values of cTnI, CKMBmass, IL-6 and FDP in the combined diagnosis of CPCD and AMI were 0.898 and 0.926, respectively, which were higher than those of single diagnosis. The time from onset to thrombolysis, infarct location, diabetes, diastolic blood pressure (DBP), systolic blood pressure (SBP), left ventricular end systolic volume (LVESV), left ventricular end systolic diameter (LVESD), left ventricular end diastolic volume (LVEDV), left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) on admission of effective patients and ineffective patients were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The levels of peripheral blood cTnI, CKMBmass, IL-6, and FDP of effective patients were lower than those of ineffective patients when they were admitted to the hospital and 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h after treatment ( P<0.05). The peripheral blood cTnI, CKMBmass, IL-6, and FDP on admission were positively correlated with DBP, SBP, LVESV, LVESD, LVEDD, LVEDV, and was negatively correlated with LVEF ( P<0.05). Multiple linear stepwise regression analysis showed that after the onset to thrombolysis time, infarct location, smoking, diabetes, SBP, DBP, LVESV, LVESD, LVEDD, LVEDV, LVEF and other factors at admission were controlled, the levels of peripheral blood cTnI, CKMBmass, IL-6, FDP were still significantly related to the efficacy ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The peripheral blood cTnI, CKMBmass, IL-6, and FDP are all abnormally expressed in AMI patients. Combined detection has clinical significance for the diagnosis and treatment of AMI.

Objective To investigate the prevalence and spectrum of β-thalassemia mutations in C, uangdong province, and provide a reference for prenatal diagnosis and genetic counseling in this population. Methods Three thousand two hundred and forty-seven blood samples were randomly selected from Guangzhou and 2984 blood samples from Shenzhen from January in 2005 to January in 2009. PCR and reverse dot blot hybridization (RDB) were adopted for detection of β-thalassemia mutations in Guangzhou and Shenzhen city. Results Seven hundred and fifty-one individuals in Guangzhou were found to have β-hemoglobin gene mutations, the detection rate was 23.13%(751/3247); 10 different mutations were identified, namely CD41-42(-TCTT), IVS-Ⅱ-654(C→T), -28(A→G), CDI7(A→T), CD71-72(+A), 13E, IVS-I-1(G→T), CD43(G→T), -29(A→G), CDI4-15(+G), which accounted for 42.53% (336/790) ,25.19% (199/790), 12.66% (100/790), 10.89% (86/790) ,3.29% (26/790), 2.15%(17/790), 1.27%( 10/790), 1.14%(9/790) ,0.51%(4/790) ,0.38%(3/790), respectively; the most common mutation was CD41-42(-TCTT), which accounted for 42.53%(336/790). In Shenzhen, 179 individuals were found to have β-thalassemia mutations, the detection rate was 6.00% (179/2984); 8 different mutations were identified excluding CD43 (G→T) and CD14-15 (+G); the most common mutation, however, was IVS-lI--654(C→T), which accounted for 40.44% (74/183). Conclusions The β-thalassemia mutations in Guangdong province are not only frequent, but also obviously heterogeneous, and the mutations differ from region to region. CD41-42 (-TCTT),ⅣS-Ⅱ-654(C→T), -28(A→G), CD17(A→T) were the 4 predominant mutations.

The clinical analgesic effect of electro-acupuncture (EA) stimulation (EAS) on breakthrough pain induced by remifentanil in patients undergoing radical thoracic esophagectomy, and the mechanisms were assessed. Sixty patients (ASAIII) scheduled for elective radical esophagectomy were randomized into three groups: group A (control) receiving a general anesthesia only; group B (sham) given EA needles at PC4 (Ximen) and PC6 (Neiguan) but no stimulation; and group C (EAS) electrically given EAS of the ipsilateral PC4 and PC6 throughout the surgery. The EAS consisting of a disperse-dense wave with a low frequency of 2 Hz and a high frequency of 20 Hz, was performed 30 min prior to induction of general anesthesia and continued through the surgery. At the emergence, sufentanil infusion was given for postoperative analgesia with loading dose of 7.5 μg, followed by a continuous infusion of 2.25 μg/h. The patient self-administration of sufentanil was 0.75 μg with a lockout of 15 min as needed. Additional breakthrough pain was treated with dezocine (5 mg) intravenously at the patient's request. Blood samples were collected before (T1), 2 h (T2), 24 h (T3), and 48 h (T4) after operation to measure the plasma β-EP, PGE2, and 5-HT. The operative time, the total dose of sufentanil and the dose of self-administration, and the rescue doses of dezocine were recorded. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores at 2, 12, 24 and 48 h postoperatively and the incidence of apnea and severe hypotension were recorded. The results showed that the gender, age, weight, operative time and remifentanil consumption were comparable among 3 groups. Patients in EAS group had the lowest VAS scores postoperatively among the three groups (P<0.05). The total dose of sufentanil was 115±6.0 μg in EAS group, significantly lower than that in control (134.3±5.9 μg) and sham (133.5±7.0 μg) groups. Similarly, the rescue dose of dezocine was the least in EAS group (P<0.05) among the three groups. Plasma β-EP levels in EAS group at T3 (176.90±45.73) and T4 (162.96±35.00 pg/mL) were significantly higher than those in control (132.33±36.75 and 128.79±41.24 pg/mL) and sham (136.56±45.80 and 129.85±36.14 pg/mL) groups, P<0.05 for all. EAS could decrease the release of PGE2. Plasma PGE2 levels in EAS group at T2 and T3 (41±5 and 40±5 pg/mL respectively) were significantly lower than those in control (64±5 and 62±7 pg/mL) and sham (66±6 and 62±6 pg/mL) groups. Plasma 5-HT levels in EAS group at T2 (133.66±40.85) and T3 (154.66±52.49 ng/mL) were significantly lower than those in control (168.33±56.94 and 225.28±82.03) and sham (164.54±47.53 and 217.74±76.45 ng/mL) groups. For intra-group comparison, plasma 5-HT and PGE2 levels in control and sham groups at T2 and T3, and β-EP in EAS group at T3 and T4 were significantly higher than those at T1 (P<0.05); PGE2 and 5-HT levels in EAS group showed no significant difference among the different time points (P>0.05). No apnea or severe hypotension was observed in any group. It was concluded that intraoperative ipsilateral EAS at PC4 and PC6 provides effective postoperative analgesia for patients undergoing radical esophagectomy with remifentanil anesthesia and significantly decrease requirement for parental narcotics. The underlying mechanism may be related to stimulation of the release of endogenous β-EP and inhibition of inflammatory mediators (5-HT and PGE2).

Background Whether ocular anterior and posterior chamber exist a blood-aqueous barrier is in controversy.Conventional method can not offer a good evidence because it is unable to detect the aqueous component in the posterior chamber.Objective This study was to investigate the distribution of Gadolinium-diethylene triamine pentaacetic acids(Gd-DTPA)after peripheral iridectomy with magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)in rabbit.Methods Monocular peripheral iridectomy was performed on the right eyes in 8 clean New Zealand white rabbits and the fellow eyes were as controls.0.2 ml/kg(0.5 mol/L)Gd-DTPA,a tracer of MRI,was injected into ear vein in vivo to scan the eyes with MRI for the observation of the permeability and distribution.The signal enhanced ratio of interest region associated with time were analyzed.Results The signal in ciliary body of both eyes showed an immediately sharp enhancement within 10 minutes following the injection of Gd-DTPA with a peak intensity at 30-40 minutes,and then the intensity was gradually weaken over time.The signal was stronger in the operative eyes than that in the fellow eyes.The signal in the posterior chamber was gradually increased after operation,however,that in posterior chamber of the control eyes was lower.The interest regions of Gd-DTPA were ciliary,anterior chamber and posterior chamber,and the enhanced signal intensities were consisted in the posterior chamber after operation.However,the increase of the signal was not seen in the posterior chamber in the control eyes.Conclusions The pathway of plasma protein entering into the anterior chamber is very different from that of aqueous secretion.There exists a barrier between the anterior and posterior chamber which might be an integral part of the blood-ocular barrier.

Armillariella tabescens EJLY2098 was capable of secreting p-mannanase by konjac inducement. A 34 orthogonal design was applied to determine the optimum medium of inducing mannanase by Armillariella tabescens EJLY2098. The results suggested that Armillariella tabescens EJLY2098 secreted the high-activity enzyme in the optimum medium, which was composed of 2% konjac, 1% peptone, 25% potato juice,0.3% KH2PO4,15% MgSO4?7H2O, 0.01% VitB1. Purified by DEAE-anion exchange chromatography, two eluting peaks (P1 and P2) with the p-mannanase activity were obtained, and one of them (named?-mannanase P2) was a single band by the SDS-PAGE, and the molecular weight of?-mannanase P2 was 78. 9kDa. The isoelectric point of?-mannanase P2 was estimated to be 4.0-4. 1. The optimum activity for the enzyme was found at 60℃and pH4. 0 - 6. 0, and the enzyme was stable between pH4. 5 - 6. 0. The activity of?-mannanase P2 were enhanced by Na+ and Ba2+ . This?-mannanase can be used in feed industy. a new fungi secreting?-mannanase was obtained, providing an important base for cloning mannanase gene and constructing recombin microbe expressing?-mannanase .

Background: Creatine transporter (CRTR) deficiency is the most common creatine deficiency syndrome,
of which the final diagnosis relies on mutation in the X-linked CRTR gene. To date, more than 90
mutations in the SLC6A8 gene have been reported. This paper discusses a novel mutation detected via
the thorough sequencing of all the X-chromosome-specific exons investigated in a four and a half year
old boy with an intellectual disability, speech and language delay and motor disturbance. Methods:
A brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and a proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS)
were carried out, the creatine and creatinine concentrations in the urine were checked and all exons
were sequenced. Results: A detailed clinical investigation revealed a reduction in the cerebral creatine
levels in the brain by the MRS, elevated creatine and creatinine concentrations in the urine and signal
abnormalities in the left frontal cortex of the brain by the MRI. A novel change was identified in the
heterozygosity of the exon 10: c.1395-c.1401 deletion.
Conclusion: The use of a combination of powerful new technologies, such as thorough exome-nextgeneration
sequencing and a brain MRS, should be considered, in order to determine any neurometabolic
diseases, especially when the signal abnormalities in the brain MRI cannot be explained by any other
factors. This mutation results most likely in a dysfunction of the creatine transport and synthesis,
hence causing central nervous system symptoms.
