Objective To explore the risk association of ABCA1-V771M polymorphism with coronary heart disease (CHD) in Hart nationality in Northwest of China. Methods With case-control study, ABCA1-V771M polymorphism was detected in 204 unrelated Hart nationality people in Northwest of China, and all the subjects by coronary angiography were grouped into 106 cases and 98 controls. The genotypes and alleles frequency distribution of ABCA1-V771M polymorphisms were analyzed by PCR-RFLP analysis, and the clinical statistics of serum lipids were compared and its effects of ABCA1-V771M polymorphism on the plasma lipid levels and coronary atherosclerotic heart disease were analyzed. Results The genotypic frequencies of ABCA1-V771M polymorphism matched well under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P>0.05), V and M allelic frequencies were 33.3% and 66.7%. In comparison with VV+VM genotype carriers, MM genotypes carriers had much lower plasma levels of HDL-C (P<0. 001) and much higher plasma levels of TG (P<0. 05). M allelic frequency in CHD group was significantly higher than V allelic frequency (P<0. 05). M allele was related with more severity of atherosclerosis in the coronary artery than V allele (P<0.05). However, there was no obvious difference in the incidence of AMI among carriers with three genotypes of ABCA1-V771M polymorphism (P>0.05). Conclusion ABCA1-V771M polymorphism was not only associated with the plasma levels of HDL-C and TG, but also related to the susceptibility and severity of coronary atheroselerotic heart disease. Moreover, M771 allele appeared to be atherogenie among Han population in Northwest of China.

Objective: To investigate the effects of lactoprotein iron chelates on rats with iron deficiency anaemia (IDA), so as to provide insights into developing and utilizing novel iron supplements. Methods: Seventy weaning female SPF-graded rats of the SD strain were randomly divided into the control group (A), model group (B), ferrous sulfate group (C), lactoferrin group (D), lactoferrin iron chelate group (E), Casein oligopeptide iron chelate group (F) and whey protein oligopeptide iron chelate group (G), with 10 rats in each group. The rats in group A were fed with normal diet, and the others were fed with poor iron diet for IDA modeling. The corresponding interventions were given by intragastric administration once a day. The iron ion concentrations of group C, E, F and G were 2.0 mg/kg, and the protein and oligopeptide concentrations of group D, E, F and G were 2 000 mg/kg. Body weight and hemoglobin of rats were measured weekly during 21-day intervention. At the end, peripheral blood samples were collected, and blood routine, iron metabolism and liver function indicators were determined. Results: After the intervention, among blood routine indicators, the rats in group C, E, F and G showed elevated hemoglobin, red blood cell, mean corpuscular volume and hematocrit, and decreased free protoporphyrin and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration when compared with the rats in group B (all P<0.05); among iron metabolism indicators, the rats in group C, E and G showed elevated serum ferritin, the rats in group C, E, F and G showed elevated serum iron, the rats in group C, D, E, F and G showed decreased unsaturated iron binding capacity and total iron binding capacity when compared with the rats in group B (all P<0.05); among liver function indicators, the rats in group E and G showed decreased alanine transaminase when compared with the rats in group B (both P<0.05). Conclusions Lactoprotein alone could not completely improve IDA in rats compared with traditional iron supplement (ferrous sulfate). Lactoprotein iron chelate, especially whey protein oligopeptide iron chelate, could significantly improve IDA, iron reserve and liver function damage in rats.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the application of 3D printing and digital technology in preoperative assessment and planning of internal fixation surgery for complex tibial plateau fracture.

METHODSComplex tibial plateau fractures and commonly used plates for tibial plateau were imaged using computed tomography (CT) to reconstruct the 3D fracture and plate models. The 3D models were used to perform virtual reduction and preoperative planning of internal fixation surgery with the most appropriate plates assisted by the 3D library of plates. According to the optimal plan, the 3D physical models of tibial plateau fractures and plates were 3D printed to simulate internal fixation operation. The effects of internal fixation were compared between the virtual surgery and the simulated surgery based on the 3D models.

RESULTSThe effects of internal fixation in the simulated surgery based on the 3D models were consistent with those of the virtual surgery. No significant difference was found in the screw length between the two surgeries.

CONCLUSIONThe combination of 3D printing and digital design can improve the effects of internal fixation for complex tibial plateau fractures.

Objective:To optimize the topological design of locking plate for distal radial fracture so that the internal fixation stiffness can be customized.Methods:Models of both the distal radial fracture and the conventional locking plate fixation were constructed using software for three-dimensional modeling and computer-aided design. Based on the data from our previous finite element analysis, a decrease of 33.33% in axial stiffness but retention of more than 90.00% in torsional stiffness were defined as the optimization limits. The conventional plate was redesigned by way of topological optimization iterations. Finite element analysis was done to compare stiffness and interfragmentary strain (IFS) between the new optimized design and conventional design of the locking plate under both compressive and torsional loads.Results:The axial stiffness of the optimized plate was 636.5 N/mm with a downgrading magnitude of 19.7% which was close to the given limit; the torsional stiffness was 634.12 Nmm/° with a downgrading magnitude of 8.8% which remained under the given limit. In the optimized design, a more significant increase was observed in axial IFS than that in shear IFS, leading to a similar effect as the stiffness regulation did.Conclusion:The optimized design of locking plate for distal radial fracture can provide a reliable solution for customized regulation of the internal fixation stiffness.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of microRNA-29b(miR-29b)for left ventricular hypertrophy(LVH)in elderly patients with coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods:From January 2015 to December 2018, 140 elderly patients with CHD admitted in our hospital were enrolled, including 70 CHD patients without LVH(the NLVH group)and 70 CHD patients with LVH(the LVH group). Seventy healthy elderly adults without CHD who underwent heart examination at our hospital during the same period were included as the control group.The interventricular septum thickness(IVSD), left ventricular posterior wall thickness(LVPWD) and the relative expression level of microRNA-29b were detected and compared among the three groups.The correlation of microRNA-29b with IVSD and LVPWD was analyzed, and the diagnostic value of microRNA-29b for LVH in elderly CHD patients was analyzed.Results:There were significant differences in IVSD, LVPWD and the relative expression level of microRNA-29b among the three groups( F=22.838, 22.147 and 114.096, all P=0.000). The IVSD, LVPWD and the relative expression level of microRNA-29b were higher in the LVH group than in the NLVH group( t=3.479, 3.206 and 9.852, all P=0.000)and than in the control group( t=3.904, 3.553 and 10.792, all P=0.000). The relative expression level of microRNA-29b was higher in the NLVH group than in the control group( t=2.306, P=0.420). The receiver-operating characteristics(ROC)curve analysis of microRNA-29b for the diagnosis of LVH in elderly CHD patients showed that the maximum entry point of Youden index was 0.80, the optimal critical value was 3.52, the sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of LVH was 91.73% and 88.27%.Pearson correlation analysis showed that the expression level of microRNA-29b was positively correlated with IVSD and LVPWD( r=0.63 and 0.61, P=0.000). Conclusions:The expression level of microRNA-29b is significantly increased in elderly CHD patients with LVH, and positively correlated with IVSD and LVPWD.The expression level of microRNA-29b has high sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of LVH in elderly CHD patients.
