Objective To study the clinical application s of intravenous myocardial contrast echocardiography (IMCE) in assessing myocardial reperfusion in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) using intravenously infused Levovist. Methods IMCE was performed in 13 AMI patients before and after thrombolytic therapy. The power Doppler signals of the myocardial segments were analyzed and the time-amplitude curves were plotted during Levovist infusion and incremental triggering. The maximal amplitude score (A), the mean ascending slope of the curve(?) and the product of A?? were measured. All patients were followed up for 3 months. And then IMCE indices were estimated for left ventricular function. Results There was a significant increase in A,? and A?? between before and after thrombolysis(P

Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of rubella outbreaks from 1998 to 2006,and to evaluate the effect of rubella control in Jinan.Methods The data from routine report system for infections disease and rubella surveillance system were collected and a descriptive epidemiological analysis were conducted.Results There were 74 rubella outbreaks with 1,212 cases|which accounted for 73.10% (1212/1658)of tolal cases from 1998 to 2006.All outbreaks occurred in native population.The age distribution was dominated by groups of 5-14,15-19,and 20-29 years old,ant they accounted for 50.50%,45.21%,and 3.80% of the total cases respectively.In all outbreak cases,only 0.49% were immunized,93.65% didn't immunized, and 5.86% were unknown.43 outbreaks occurred in middle school.Conclusion The adolescents were key population for rubella outbreak prevention.And the most effective strategy for reducing the incidence of rubella and outbreaks are to keep high quality routine coverage of rubella vaccine.

Acute myocardial ischemia and reperfusion led to arrhythmias and increase of glutamic oxalacetic transaminase (GOT),lactate dehydrogenase (LDH),non-csterified fatty acid (FFA) and malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and decrease of superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in rats. 3, 6-di-methylamino-dibenzopyri-odonium edetate (IHC-72) 5 mg?kg-1 iv significantly reduced the incidence of ventricular tachy-cardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation(VF) ,shortened the duration of arrhythmias induced by reperfusion, decreased the release of GOT, LDH and FFA, obviously reduced the MDA content,and effectively protected SOD activity in ischemia-reperfused rat hearts. Our experimental results suggested that IHC-72 had protective effects on ischemia-reperfusion injury rat hearts in vivo. The mechanism of the protection might be associated with the inhibition of cellular lipid peroxidation.

Objective:To check RNA binding protein QKI-5's expression level in breast cancer cells and inhibiting effect on cancer cell proliferation.Methods:QKI-5's expression level was checked in different breast cancer cells by Western blotting,cancer cells of overexpressed QKI-5 gene could be stabilized by slow virus infection construction,MTT and FCM were used to check cell period to express QKI-5's influence on cell proliferation and period.Results:MCF-7 cells have relatively low QKI-5 expression level in three breast cancer cells,MTT experiment result has obvious reduced influence on QKI-5's expression of MCF-7 cell proliferation P＜0.05,mean-while,cell period inspection shows that overexpressed QKI-5's MCF-7 cells have obvious G1 retardant,cells in S and G2/M periods are reduced.Conclusion:High expression of QKI-5'in breast cancer could cause slow cell proliferation by inhibiting cancer cell period,hence causing limited tumor growth.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the technique of transoral Orvil EEA stapler (OrVil) for laparoscopic gastrectomy of gastric cancer in our hospital.Methods Between Sep 2012 and Aug 2013,73 patients at our department underwent open (n =36) or laparoscopic (being reconstructed by OrVil,n =37) gastrectomy.Early surgical outcomes of the two groups were compared to assess the effectiveness,security and postoperative complications of OrVil procedure.Results The two groups had similar mean numbers of dissected lymph nodes (29 ± 10 vs.31 ± 14,t =-0.697,P =0.488),lengths of postoperative hospital stay (14 ± 5 vs.12 ± 3 d,t =1.933,P =0.057) and postoperative complications (11 vs.11,P =0.939).Intraoperative blood loss was significantly less (189 ± 79 vs.343 ± 90 ml,t =-7.782,P =0.000) and time to first flatus significantly shorter (2.9 ±0.5 vs.3.5 ±0.6 d,t =-4.714,P =0.000) with the use of OrVil.Operation time of laparoscopic group was significantly longer than that of open group (266 ± 97 vs.204 ± 39 min,t =3.607,P =0.001).There was one each anastomotic leakage in both groups.Conclusions With the suitable approach and skillful technique,OrVil is a technically safe and feasible surgical procedure for the treatment of gastric cancer.

Objective To evaluate the value of ghrelin on predicting prognosis in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) after hospital discharge.Methods Totally 145 patients withCHF (age≥60 years,83 males and 62 females) were divided into 3 subgroups by New York Heart Association classification (NYHA):class Ⅱ (n=48),class Ⅲ(n=57) and class Ⅳ(n =40).According to the basic diseases,the CHF group was divided into five subgroups.All patients were followed up for about 2 years.The study included 55 healthy control subjects (30 males and 25 females).Results Plasma ghrelin level was lower in CHF cases (1.66±0.28) μg/L than in control subjects (2.27±0.26) μg/L (t 3.77,P＜0.01).The ghrelin level in NYHA Ⅱ(1.85±0.13) μg/L were higher than in NYHA Ⅲ (1.56±0.28) μg/L,the latter were higher than in NYHA Ⅳ (1.27±0.24) μg/L (P＜0.05).The plasma ghrelin level of patients after treatment (1.98±0.25) μg/L was increased compared with that of before treatment (1.66±0.28) μg/L (P＜0.05).No significant difference was found among the five basic disease groups (P＞0.05).During the follow up periods of (637±97)days,plasma ghrelin level was decreased in patients with cardiovascular event (1.26±0.38) μg/L than in patients without cardiovascular event (1.86±0.34) μg/L.The plasma ghrelin was negatively correlated with left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) and left ventricular ejection fraction (P＜0.05).Conclusions The plasma ghrelin in elderly patients with CHF is decreased than in healthy adults,and its level is lower in patients with severe heart failure.The plasma ghrelin is a predictor of cardiovascular event and death in elderly patients with CHF.
