Objective To study the feasibility and necessity of radial artery angiolgraphy in advance on transradial coronary intervention.Methods A total of 682 patients undergoing transradial coronary intervention were divided into two groups by random digits table method.Previous radial artery angiography (pre-RAA) group of 341 cases underwent radial artery angiography;post radial artery angiography (post-RAA) group of 341 cases in the guide wire,catheter in resistance immediately for radial artery angiography.The radial artery imaging characteristics were observed and the radial artery related complications were recorded in two groups.Results The ratio of radial artery spasm in post-RAA group was higher than that in pre-RAA group [11.4％(39/341) vs.6.2％(21/341),P=0.015].The ratio of operation failed in post-RAA group was higher than that in pre-RAA group [3.2％ (11/341) vs.0.6％ (2/341),P =0.014].The radial artery perforation rate and postoperative 1-6 months of radial artery occlusion rate increased significantly in post-RAA group,and there was significant difference between two groups (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Transradial coronary intervention in advance for radial artery angiography therapy can effectively observe the radial artery morphology,reduce the radial artery related complications.

ObjectiveTo build the computer-aided diagnosis system of left ventricular diastolic function for echocardiography,to make the evaluation process of left ventricular diastolic function for echocardiography more convenient,efficient,standardized and to obtain more accurate,practical,objective and reliable diagnostic results.MethodsFirst,the system was developed by the Macromedia Flash Professional referred to the newest guidelines and suggestions published by the American Society of Echocardiography(ASE) in 2009.Second,the program of left ventricular diastolic function in the computer- aided diagnosis system was designed,debugged and improved according to feedback information frompractical applications.ResultsThe diagnostic system can work simultaneously with echocardiography.If assessment parameters of the newest guidelines and suggestions,published by the American Society of Echocardiography in 2009,are imported to the system,then it can give the diagnosis of the change about the left ventricle filling pressures and score the left ventricular diastolic function quickly and automatically.The system will export standard report with both pictures and text.ConclusionsAccording to our experiment,the computer-aided diagnosis system is able to make the evaluation process of left ventricular diastolic function much more standardized and simplified,which guarantee the objectivity and reliability of the evaluation results.Consequently,it will be able to apply to clinical practice in the future.

To evaluate the effectiveness of enzymatic assisted extraction (EAE) of lipid from the oleaginous yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides in the presence of beta-1,3-glucomannanase at a larger scale, we investigated the effects of enzymatic treatment and extraction conditions on lipid extraction yields at 10-L scale by using the broth of R. toruloides Y4 as the feed and ethyl acetate as the solvent. When it was treated for 0.5 h, the lipid extraction yield reached 71.1%, indicating that the enzymatic treatment process reached similar efficiency to that obtained at 10-mL scale. The inhibitory effect of emulsification was greatly reduced by repeated extraction. After extracted for three times, yields of lipid extraction, solvent recovery and total material recovery reached 92.9%, 87.0% and 94.2% respectively. As it can use the lipid production slurry with good extraction efficiency, EAE technology is promising for industrial production of microbial lipids.

Objective: To evaluate the risk factors for contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with normal or slightly impaired renal function after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: A total of 254 consecutive ACS patients with normal or slightly impaired renal function received PCI in the Second Artillery General Hospital from 2013-06 to 2015-06 were retrospectively studied. All patients had eGRF≥60 ml (min?1.73 m2) and they were divided into 2 groups:CIN group, the patients with serum creatinine increased by 0.5mg/dl (44.2μmol/L) or elevated to 25%higher than the baseline, n=23;Non-CIN group, n=231. The basic condition with laboratory tests, operative indexes were recorded and eGRF value were calculated in all patients.
Results: There were 9%(23/254) patients suffered from CIN after PCI. Multivariate regression analysis indicated that emergent PCI (OR=0.370, 95%CI 0.060-2.297), increased plasma level of NT-proBNP (OR=4.209, 95%CI 1.202-14.742) and without pre-operative aspirin administration (OR=7.950, 95%CI 1.108-57.034) were the clinical risk factors for post-operative CIN occurrence.
Conclusion: Emergent PCI, higher plasma level of NT-proBNP and no pre-operative aspirin administration were the risk factors for CIN occurrence in ACS patients with normal or slightly impaired renal function after PCI.

To shorten the cultivation time and reduce the consumption of raw materials for microbial lipid production, oleaginous yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides AS 2.1389 was cultivated using a two-stage culture mode, in which the cell propagation and lipid accumulation were separated. The yeast cells recovered from the propagation culture were re-suspended in glucose solution for lipid accumulation, through which lipid content over 55% of the dry cell weight was achieved, the longer the propagation stage was, the higher the lipid content. Analysis of the lipid indicated that the long-chain fatty acids with 16 and 18 carbon atoms were major components, suggesting that the lipid can be an alternative feedstock for biodiesel production.

The objective of this work is to investigate how dilution rate and carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratio affects lipid accumulation by Rhodosporidium toruloides AS 2.138 9 in continuous culture. Under steady-state conditions, the increase in dilution rate led to the decrease in lipid content and lipid yield. The highest lipid yield and lipid content at D = 0.02 h(-1) were 0.18 g lipid/g sugar and 57.1%, respectively, while the highest lipid productivity and biomass productivity were obtained at D = 0.14 h(-1). The increase in C/N ratio led to the increase in lipid content. The highest lipid content of 38% was obtained at C/N = 237. The highest lipid yield of 0.12 g lipid/g sugar was obtained at C/N = 92. However, the highest lipid productivity of 0.12 g/(L x h) was obtained at C/N = 32. No significant changes were observed in terms of fatty acid composition of the lipid produced under different C/N ratios, and these three fatty acids, palmitic acid, stearic acid and oleic acid, took over 85% in all samples.
