Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and angiographic findings of cardiogenic shock(CS)following acute myocardial infarction(AMI) in elderly patients.Methods Between January 2015 and April 2016,we carried out a retrospective observational analysis of consecutive elderly patients in Tianjin Chest Hospital,who suffered CS-complicating AMI.Emergency angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) were performed after admission.All selected patients were divided into CS and non-CS groups according to whether CS occurred.Electrocardiograph (ECG),cardiac enzyme testing,and ultrasound cardiography were performed after admission to monitor the occurrence of CS.Results The incidence of CS-complicating AMI was 8.33％ (34/408) in elderly patients.Among all CS patients enrolled,the aged patients accounted for 91.89 ％ (3 4/3 7).In-hospital mortality rate was 2 9.41 ％ (10/3 4).There were significant differences between two groups in WBC,H s-CRP,blood glucose,CR and ALT (t =2.403,4.596,6.778,6.109,each P＜0.05).The NT-Pro BNP level,the time of FMC,the frequency of left main and multivessel disease were higher in the CS group than in the non-CS group (each P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Elderly patients are bearing high risk of CS following AMI.Prolonged FMC time and the presence of left main and/or multivessel lesion are independent risk factors for the development of CS.The optimal revascularisation strategy can improve the clinical outcome of patients with CS.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of high-frequency electric snare for the treatment of main airway neoplasm through bronchoscopy. Methods The clinical datas of 18 patients from July 2013 to April 2016, who had main airway neoplasm and were treated with high-frequency electric snare through bronchoscopy, were retrospectively analyzed. Meanwhile, the interventional bronchoscopic techniques partly included argon plasma coagulation and cryoablation. After operarion, the relief of symptoms and complications were observed. Results After operarion, the clinical symptoms, shortness of breath, dyspnea index score and the degree of airway stenosis were improved significantly. No serious complications such as massive hemoptysis occurred in all patients. Conclusion High-frequency electric snare is an effective and safe approach for the treatment of main airway neoplasm.

Objective To investigate the clinical distribution and drug resistance of carbapenemsresistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP).Methods A total of 134 clinical strains of CRKP were collected from inpatients in our hospital from January 2014 to December 2016.VITEK-2 compact automatic microbiological analyzer was used to identify the bacteria and the supporting gram-negative bacterial drug susceptibility card was used for susceptibility testing.The sensitivity of other clinical commonly used antimicrobial agents was measured by K-B method.And the clinical distribution of CRKP and its resistance to antimicrobial agents were investigated and analyzed.Results The clinical strains of CRKP were isolated mainly from urine (n=70,52.2％) and sputum (n=38,28.4％).Klebsiella pneumoniae was identified in samples from the department of neurosurgery,including neurosurgery ICU (47.8％,64/134),ICU (23.9％,32/134),department of hepatobiliary surgery (8.2％,11/134) and department of urology (6.0％,8/134).Among all 22 antimicrobial agents tested,the resistant rates of CRKP to 16 antimicrobial agents were ＞90％,especially for ampicillin it was 100％,and those to 19 antibiotics were ＞80％,only for tigecycline it was 23.1％.There were 16 strains of CRKP with positive extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) (11.9％).All the CRKP strains were resistant to more than three kinds of antimicrobial agents,except one strain that was resistant to two kinds.Conclusion There is a wide range of clinical distribution of CRKP,which is resistant to most of antimicrobial agents,while tigecycline still has a strong antibacterial activity to CRKP.

The intestinal absorption properties of four main effective components(gallic acid, ocinolglucoside, ethyl gallate and penta-O-galloyl-β-D-glucose) in Rhus chinensis extracts were investigated by in situ single-pass intestinal perfusion model in rats. The liquid accumulation of perfusion was corrected by gravimetry. The HPLC method was established to determine the concentration of the four effective components in the intestinal perfusion. It showed significant differences(P<0.05) in absorption rate constant(K_a) and effective permeability(P_(eff)) among the three concentrations of components, and the absorption of the four effective components in different intestinal segments was saturated at high concentrations. At the same concentration, there were significant differences in K_a and P_(eff) of the four components in each intestinal segment(P<0.05). The order of K_a and P_(eff) of the four components in the intestine was penta-O-galloyl-β-D-glucose>ethyl gallate>gallic acid>ocinolglucoside, with significant differences between them(P<0.05). In conclusion, gallic acid, orpheolglucoside, ethyl gallate and pentacyl-glucose could be absorbed in the whole intestine. Their absorption rate and permeation ability were related to the intestinal section and the perfusate concentration. These results indicated potential active transport or facilitated diffusion in the intestinal transport process of the four effective components.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics and predictive factors of SSc associated heart disease.Methods:The clinical data of patients with SSc from January 2016 to December 2021 in Ningbo Medical Center Lihuili Hospital were collected. Aight healthy controls come from the medicial examination center. They were divided into a positive group and a negative group based on whether heart involvement was present or not. The clinical manifestations of the two groups were compared by t test, Wilcoxon signed rank test and χ2 test and Logistic regression or ROC curve was used to analyze the prognostic risk of SSc associated heart disease. Then the transcriptome sequencing was used to analyze the differential gene expression. Results:①A total of 75 SSc patients were treated in our hospital, of which 6 patients with overlap syndrome and 1 patient with congenital heart disease were excluded. The clinical data of 68 patients were analyzed including 16 patients in the positive group and 52 patients in the negative group. Among the 16 patients with cardiac involvement, 12 patients (75.0%) had abnormal electrocardiogram, 9 patients (56.2%) with heart valve disease, 8 patients (50.0%) with abnormal cardiac structure and 8 patients (50.0%) with pericardial effusion. The biomarkers were elevated in 10 cases (83.3%). ②Univariate analysis showed that the positive group had a longer course of disease [120(11.2, 132) months vs 48(24, 90)months, Z=-2.08, P=0.037], and the rate of pulmonary arterial hypertension (50.0% vs 11.5%, χ2=11.07, P<0.001) and renal insufficiency(50.0% vs 3.8%, χ2=20.78, P<0.001) in the positive group were significantly higher than those in the negative group. Further Logistic regression analysis revealed that long course of disease [ OR (95% CI) =1.011 (1.001, 1.021), P=0.031], pulmonary arterial hypertension [ OR (95% CI) =5.431, 95% CI (1.065, 27.710), P=0.042] and renal insufficiency [ OR (95% CI) =30.444 (4.139, 223.938), P<0.001] were risk factors for SSc associated heart disease. ③Nail-fold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) was checked in 63 patients. The difference of abnormal NVC changes between the two groups was statistically significant (93.3% vs 58.3%, χ2=5.87, P=0.013). The total number of capillaries in the positive group was significantly less than that in the negative group [3.5(2, 4.8) vs 6 (5, 7), Z=-2.97, P=0.003]. Further ROC curve analysis showed that the total number of capillaries less than 4.5 predicted the occurrence of cardiac involvement (sensitivity was 80.0%, specificity was 83.8%), and the area under the ROC curve (95% CI) was 0.805 (0.061, 1.000, P=0.003).④The transcriptome of a total of 11 SSc patients (including 6 in the positive group and 5 in the negative group) and 8 healthy controls were analyzed to obtain the synchronously down regulated gene TNFRSF13B. The differences between the three groups were statistically significant ( χ2=11.88, P=0.003), especially in the positive group and the healthy controls( χ2=11.19, P=0.004). Conclusion:SSc patients with long course of disease accompanied by PAH and renal insufficiency are prone to have heart involvement. Early capillary endoscopy is also helpful to predict the risk of heart involvement. Moreover, TNFRSF13B genetic testing is helpful but further study is needed.

Objective: To explore the molecular mechanism of miR-130a-3p regulating epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) to affect the invasion and metastasis of breast cancer cells through HGF/MET pathway. Methods: A total of 22 pairs of cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues from breast cancer patients, who were admitted to Affiliated Hospital of Chengde Medical College from January 2018 to October 2018, were collected for this study; in addition, breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7, MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB453) and normal breast epithelial cells MCF10A were obtained from the Institute of Basic Sciences, Chengde Medical College. And then, the expression of miR-130a-3p in tissues and cell lines were detected by qRT-PCR. The experiment cells were divided into control group, miR-130a-3p mimics group, miR-130a-3p inhibitor group, PHA665752 (a small-molecule MET inhibitor) transfection group and PHA665752+miR-130a-3p inhibitor co-transfection group. CCK-8 assay and Transwell assay were performed to detect the proliferation, invasion and migration of MCF-7 cells, respectively. The expressions of EMT and HGF/MET signaling pathway related proteins in MCF-7 cells were detected by WB. In addition, the targeted relationship between miR-130a-3p and MET was verified by Dual luciferase reporter gene assay. Results: miR-130a-3p was down-regulated in breast cancer tissues and cell lines. Over-expression of miR130a-3p could suppress the proliferation, invasion, migration and EMT of MCF-7 cells, while knockdown of miR-130a-3p had the opposite results. The results of Dual luciferase reporter gene assay indicated that miR-130a-3p targetedly down-regulated the expression of MET, and miR-130a-3p negatively regulated the expression of HGF/MET signaling pathway. Further experiments confirmed that miR-130a-3p inhibited the proliferation, invasion, migration and EMT of MCF-7 cells by blocking HGF/MET signaling pathway. Conclusion: miR-130a-3p suppresses the EMT of MCF-7 cells via blocking HGF/MET signaling pathway, thereby repressing the invasion and metastasis of MCF-7 cells.
