Objective To investigate the effect of 24h Holter monitoring in patients with asymptomatic myocardial ischemia diagnosis. Methods 80 patients with asymptomatic myocardial ischemia in coronary heart disease(CHD)were detected by 24h Holter monitoring,and the results were recorded. Results In 80 patients of CHD myocardial ischemia occurred in 75 cases,accounting for 93.75%,and ischemic ST segment depression appeared total of 824 matrix times,and in each case there were 1 to 23 matrix times,an average of 8.3,and the average ST segment depression was(0.15±0.06)mV; Most of asymptomatic myocardial ischemia occurred in the daytime,and the peak onset occured in 6 to 12 hours; High and low heart rate was positively correlated with the degree of ischemia,and faster heart rate was,more obvious ST segment depression was down,more serious myocardial ischemia was induced. Conclusion 24h Holter monitoring of asymptomatic myocardial ischemia condition assessment and early prevention is important.

Purpose:To detect DNA polymerase ? gene (pol?) mutations in human gastric cancer specimens and the relationship between H.pylori infection and pol? mutation. Methods:Extracting total RNA from gastric carcinoma,corresponding cancer specimens tissues and normal tissues, synthesizing cDNA and then using them as templates proceed PCR,The products of PCR were checked by SSCP. Extracting DNA from the specimen, we could detect the H.Pylori from the tissue of gastric carcinoma and the tissue adjacent to them by PCR.Results:There were 7 abnormal SSCP of 32 gastric carcinoma samples, and the mutation rate was 21.9%, but nothing abnormal was found in the tissues adjacent to the tumor. The results of H.Pylori DNA were positive in 15 samples from 32 gastric carcinoma tissues. Positive rate was 46.9(15/32).Detection result of tissues adjacent to tumor was consistent with gastric carcinoma. Comparing pol? SSCP to H.pylori-DNA in gastric carcinoma,we found the positive samples of pol? SSCP correlated with H.pylori-DNA.Conclusions:It is suggested that the pol?gene mutation may be associated with carcinogenesis and development of human gastric cancer. H.pylori infection is possibly related to pol? mutation in gastric carcinoma.

BACKGROUND: Prospective studies concerning bone metabolism and bone mineral density variation after fractures have been reported from the 1960s, but these studies are mainly focused on tibia and fibula and ankle fractures in patients with low sample size.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the changes in bone mineral density and bone metabolism indexes in elderly women within 6 to 12 months after hip fractures, and to analyze the correlation.
METHODS:We selected 48 elderly women with hip fractures admitted in the Department of Orthopedics, Beijing Aerospace General Hospital in China from May 2011 to July 2013. Standards for fol ow-up were developed to measure the bone mineral density and bone metabolism indexes in the L 1-4 spinal segments and both sides of the hip. The bone metabolism indexes included bone alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, cross-linked C-terminal peptide of col agen I, and serum tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b levels. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed based on measurements of bone mineral density and bone metabolism indexes after fracture healing.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After fracture healing, bone mineral density of the fractured hip and lumbar vertebra was significantly lower than the baseline value. There was no statistical difference in bone mineral density between the healthy hip and the baseline value. At 6 months after fractures, bone alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, cross-linked C-terminal peptide of col agen I, and serum tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b levels were significantly higher than the baseline values. At 12 months after fractures, osteocalcin level was significantly higher than the baseline value, while other indexes of bone metabolism measurements showed no statistical difference from the baseline values. When healing of hip fractures met the clinical and radiographic standards, the partial regression coefficient of delta-Z score reached peak in the changes of serum osteocalcin and bone mineral density of the fractured hip. Under clinical healing of fractures, serum osteocalcin level exhibits a higher value for the assessment of recovery speed of bone mineral density. Monitoring corresponding bone metabolism indexes after fracture healing can improve the accuracy of judging bone mineral density changes to reduce the risk of secondary fractures.

Objective To evaluate the influence of preoperation medical treatment on recurrence of atrial fibrillation(AF) in valve replacement postoperative patients of rheumatic heart disease during in-hospital and other risk factors. Methods One-hundred and eight patients with rheumatic heart disease and AF that underwent valve replacement postoperative patients were randomly divided into 2 groups: the treatment group (n =54)and the control group (n = 54 ). The treatment group were treated with ranipril, felodipine and simvastatin for 1 month and other conventional preoperational treatments before operation . The control group were only treated conventional preoperational therapy. Occurrence of AF postoperation were observed during inhospital. Results The occurrence of atrial fibrillation of the two group was no difference( 35.85% vs 41.51%,P = 0.55) immediately after rebeat. There was significant difference in the occurrence of atrial fibrillation of the 2 groups within 24 h post-operation ( 47.17% vs 69.81%, P = 0.02 ) . Logistic regression showed that intervention before operation had significant effect on the occurrence of AF( OR =0.39,95% CI: 0.17 -0.86,P =0.018) ,as well as the diameter of left atrium (LAD) ( OR= 4.28,95% CI:1.12 - 18.23, P = 0.018 ),pulmonary artery pressure(PAP) ( OR = 3.28,95% CI: 1.14 - 12.25, P = 0.01 ), duration of atrial fibrillation (AFD) (OR = 4.19,95% CI: 1.15 -14.22,P = 0.011). ROC curve showed that the best cut-off of LAD was 46.5 mm to predict AF,with sensitivity of 73% and specify of 85% ;the best cut-off of PAP was 48.5 mm Hg,with sensitivity of 75.6% and specify of 80.3% ;the best cut-off of AFD was 7. 5 months,with sensitivity of 76.1% and specify of 88.3%. Conclusion The recurrence of AF can be effectively reduced during hospitalization by the preoperational triple treatments for patients with rheumatic heart disease successfully underwent valve replacement operation , which is also beneficial for maintenance of sinus rhythm after operation.

BACKGROUND:So far the positive or negative effects of mesenchymal stem cel s on tumor growth and metastasis are under discussion. OBJECTIVE:To explore the mechanism of bone marrow mesenchymal cel s in promoting lung cancer metastasis. METHODS:Primary rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were obtained by direct adherence method of the whole bone marrow, and differential adherence combined with digestion control method was performed to purify cel s. Lung cancer cel lines were cultured, and the effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s on the migration, invasion and metastasis of lung cancer cel s were observed by scratch test, cel invasion and migration assays. Orthotopic lung cancer models were established in rats and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were seeded onto the left lung of rats. Then, pathological changes of lung tissues were observed at 14 days after transplannation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After the scratch test, the migration rate of lung cancer cel s became higher, and the scratches healed with time. And after cel transplantation, the number of migrated lung cancer cel s increased, as wel as the ability of lung cancer cel s penetrating the Matrigel was strengthened. Besides, fibrous connective tissues could be found around the lung cancer tissues, and necrosis with distinct boundary and large tumor nuclei;the metastatic tissues showed obvious infiltration and necrosis with large tumor nuclei. These results suggest that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s can promote the invasion, migration and metastasis of lung cancer cel lines.
