Objective To investigate the changes of platelet aggregation rate and platelet surface CD 41+CD62P+ expression af-ter clopidogrel discontinuation in the patients with percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI)) .Methods The platelet aggregation rates and platelet surface CD41+CD62P+ in 52 PCI patients with oral clopidogrel for near 12 months and discontinuation soon were measured before clopidogrel therapy(T0 ) ,in 1 week after clopidogrel therapy(T1 ) ,1 week before clopidogrel discontinuation(T2 ) , 1 week(T3 ) and 1 month after clopidogrel discontinuation (T4 ) .Results Compared with T0 ,the platelet aggregation rate and the expression of platelet CD41+CD62P+ at T1 were significantly decreased ,the difference showing statistical significance (P<0 .05) , which at T2 maintained the lower levels ;which at T3 were increased ,which at T4 were recovered to those at T0 .The platelet aggre-gation rates at various time points were (44 .20 ± 18 .36)% ,(25 .38 ± 12 .10)% ,(23 .74 ± 8 .15)% ,(51 .79 ± 10 .55)% and(45 .97 ± 16 .42)% respectively ,and the positive rates of CD41+ CD62P+ were(12 .96 ± 11 .48)% ,(3 .93 ± 3 .33)% ,(4 .72 ± 3 .14)% , (13 .90 ± 10 .38)% and(10 .84 ± 8 .13)% ,respectively .Conclusion In the patients treated with 12-month clopidogrel after PCI ,the platelet aggregation rate and the CD41+CD62P+ positive rate are mildly increased at 1 week after clopidogrel discontinuation and gradually returned to the level before discontinuation at 1 month after clopidogrel discontinuation .

Purpose To investigate the effect of sensitivity on image quality and radiation dosage of digital chest radiography. Materials and Methods A total of 300 healthy people undergoing chest X-ray examination were randomly enrolled and divided into two groups according to body weight (150 people with normal weight and 150 overweight), which were further randomly divided into three subgroups (S200 subgroup with low-sensitivity, S400 subgroup with mid-sensitivity, S800 subgroup with high sensitivity, each subgroup contained 50 people). With other parameters unchanged, digital chest photography with different sensitivities was performed to each subgroup (S200, S400 and S800, respectively), and then uploaded the data to PACS and recorded mAs value and dose area product (DAP) value for each time. Then the image quality was assessed by three doctors in terms of mAs value, DAP, image quality score and noise score. Results In all subgroups of normal weight, differences on mAs and DAP were significant (F=1443.191-1829.895, P<0.05) whilst differences on image quality score and noise score were not significant (F=0.686-2.516, P>0.05). In all overweight subgroups, differences in mAs, DAP, image quality score and noise score were significant (F=163.358-290.656, P<0.05). According to one-factor analysis of variance, mAs value was S200>S400>S800 (F=0.626-3.210, P<0.05), DAP value was S200>S400>S800 (F=0.416-1.416, P<0.05), there was no difference in image quality score and noise score (F=0.001-0.100, P>0.05). In overweight group, there was no difference between subgroups of S200 and S400 (F=0.120-0.145, P>0.05); whilst differences between subgroups of S200 and S800 were significant, the same appeared in subgroups of S400 and S800 (F=1.655-2.360, P<0.05). Conclusion Radiation dose can be effectively controlled by regulating sensitivity with image quality unaffected. It is advisable to choose high-sensitivity photography for patients with normal weight and low or mid-sensitivity photography for overweight patients.

To identify the genotype and analyze the molecular characteristics of dengue virus strain SZ0524 isolated from serum samples of patients with early stage of dengue fever in Shenzhen in 2005 so as to explore its possible origin. The C6/36 cell line was cultivated with virus strain SZ0524 and its suspension was harvested. The type of isolated virus strain was determined by RT-semi-nested PCR and fluorescent PCR. E gene of isolated virus strain was amplified by RT-PCR and sequenced. Homology and phylogenetic tree of E gene of this dengue virus with the strains isolated from other areas were constructed. This SZ0524 strain was further identified by fluorescent PCR, and confirmed to be the type 4 virus after obtaining the 392bp band with type 4 specific primers. The homology of nucleotide sequence of E gene of SZ0524 strain with the standard type 4 dengue virus H241 strain were 99.7%, but the homology with the standard dengue virus 1,2,3 in the same fragment were 57.0%, 59.2% and 56.2% respectively. Analysis of the phylogenetic tree indicated that SZ0524 was more close to D4-73NIID and D4-61NIID strain, next to H241 strain, and they lied in the same branch of phylogenetic tree. The isolated dengue virus type 4 belonged to genotype Ⅰand the SZ0524 strain was proved to be dengue virus type 4 in the molecular level. Combined with epidemiology information, it is suggested that this case can be classified as an imported case and the SZ0524 strain may be transferred from the southeast asian region.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the expressions of angiotensin converting enzyme 2(ACE2)/ACE mRNA in myocardium-nephors and the blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR).Method A total of 18 male of 12 weeks old SHRs and 18 male of 12 weeks old Wistar Kyoto(WKY)rats were got for the experimental study.Nine SHRs and 9 WKY rats were randomly taken out as controls and sacrificed for detecting the mRNA expressions and protein of ACE2 and ACE.Other halves of rats of both groups were fed for 12 weeks and then sacrificed for detecting of the same biomarkers as in controls.The mRNA expressions of ACE2 and ACE were determined by real-time quantitative RT-PCR.The protein level of ACE2 and ACE were determined by immunohistochemistry.Results Systolic blood pressure(SBP)in SHRs of 12 and 24 weeks old increased compared with that in WKY(all P＜0.01).SBP in SHRs of 24 weeks old increased compared with that in SHRs of 12 weeks old(P＜0.01).The cardiac and renal expressions of ACE2 mRNA in SHRs of 12 and 24 weeks old were all significantly lower than those in WKY rats(P＜0.01).The expressions of ACE mRNA in SHRs of 12 and 24 weeks old were all significantly higher than those in WKY rats(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).The cardiac and renal expression of ACE2 mRNA in SHRs of 24 weeks old was significantly lower than that in SHRs of 12 weeks(P＜0.01).The myocardial and renal expression of ACE mRNA in SHRs of 24 weeks old was significantly higher than that in 12 SHRs of weeks old(P＜0.01).The positive reactions of ACE2 protein found in kidney displayed in brown colur.The ACE2 proetin appeared in uniform distribution of brown granules in WKY rats and comparatively scanty distribution of brown granule in SHRs.Conclusions There are correaltions between the expressions of ACE2/ACE mKNA as well as protein and blood pressure.

The efficacy and safety of uric-acid-lowering therapy (UALT) on slowing the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) accompanied by hyperuricemia were assessed. We searched Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMbase, CNKI, Wanfang and Vip databases up to November 15, 2012 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) which compared the effect of UALT to control therapy in hyperuricemic patients secondary to CKD, and then performed quality evaluation and meta-analysis on the included studies. Seven RCTs involving 451 cases were included. UALT delayed the increase of serum creatinine (MD=-62.55 μmol/L, 95% CI: -98.10 to -26.99) and blood urea nitrogen (MD= -6.15 mmol/L, 95% CI: -8.17 to -4.13) as well as the decrease of glomerular filtration rate [MD=5.65 mL/(min·1.73 m2), 95% CI: 1.88 to 9.41], decreased systolic blood pressure (SBP) (MD= -6.08 mmHg, 95% CI: -11.67 to -0.49), and reduced the risk of the renal disease progression (RR=0.30, 95% CI: 0.19 to 0.46). However, there was no statistically significant difference in 24-h urinary protein quantity and diastolic blood pressure (P>0.05). We identified that UALT could delay the progression of CKD with secondary hyperuricemia. And this also indirectly proved that hyperuricemia was a risk factor for the CKD progression.
