Objective To explore the effect of radiofrequency catheter ablation( RFCA) on cardiac reverse remode-ling and improvement of life quality in cardiomyopathy patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation( PAF) . Methods 95 cardiomyopathy patients with PAF were enrolled in our study and divided into two groups. RFCA group:62 patients received circumferential pulmonary vein isolation, ( left ventricular end-diastolic ) LVEDD ≥55 mm (male), LVEDD ≥50 mm (female); Drug group:33 patients were treated with drug for controlling heart rate ( resting heart rate around 60~80 bpm, heart rate during daily activity <100 bpm) . 72 hours after admission or 6 months after surgery in RFCA group, when the heart rate returned to normal or 6 months after treatment in Drug group, Short-Form36(SF-36) was used to evaluate the quality of living in the patients respectively; transthoracic echocardiography was performed in sinus rhythm;LAD, LVEDD and LVEF of the patients were measured. Results in RFCA group, LAD and LVEDD of 62 patients reduced and LVEF increased in 6 months after surgery statisti-cally significant(P<0. 05). In Drug group, 6 months after treatment, LAD and LVEDD of 33 patients increased ( P<0. 05 ) , without significant change in LVEF. There was no statistical significance in psychological health, physical function and general health perceptions, but there was significant improvement in social function and phys-ical function,affective state, physical role and energy in both RFCA group and drug group (P<0. 05), and it was more obvious in RFCA group(P<0. 05). Conclusion RFCA can reverse cardiac structural remodeling via sinus rhythm maintenance and improve the quality of life in cardiomyopathy patients with PAF.

Objective To establish a normal lumbar spine 3-dimensional(3D) finite element model(FEM) and discuss the biomechanics of the lumbar motions. Methods A geometrical model was constructed on the basis of a healthy adult male's lumbar CT image.The lumbar spine FEM was established by finite element analysis software.After setting the boundary and loading the burden,the lumbar spine's range of motion and stress distribution in different institutions such as anterior flexion,posterior extension,left or right bending and axial rotating were recorded. Results The lumbar spine FEM included 114 953 tetrahedron units.The results of the FEM matched the results of the in vitro experiment of biomechanics. Conclusion The lumbar spine FEM can imitate the motions of the lumbar spine.

To explore the effect of tripterygium glycosides on the level of peripheral blood cell factors of Graves ophthalmopathy (GO). In the study, 64 patients of GO in moderate-severe acute stage were selected, and randomly divided into the treatment group (32 cases) and the control group (32 cases). Both of the two groups were provided with basic treatment. The control group was added with prednisone(0. 75 mg kg-1 d-1 ), which gradually reduced (by 5-10 mg week-1 )to the minimum dose of 5 mg d-1. The treatment group was treated with 20 mg tripterygium glycosides, three times a day. One therapy course is three months. The levels of peripheral blood cells(TNF-alpha , IL-2, IL-10, IFN-gamma)of the two groups before and after the treatment and the clinical efficacy were observed. The study indicated that, before the treatment, TNF-alpha, IL-2, IFN-gamma in both groups were significantly higher than that in the health group, but with IL-10 notably lower than the healthy group. After the treatment, TNF-a, IL-2, IFN-gamma in the treatment group significantly decreased, but with IL-10 significantly increasing (P <0. 01). After the treatment, the two groups showed significant difference (P <0. 01). The total clinical efficacy in the treatment group was 88. 10% , and that in the control group was 57. 14% (P <0. 01). After the treatment, the two groups showed significant changes in the exophthalmos degree (P < 0. 01). The results showed that the level of peripheral blood cells (TNF-alpha,IL-2, IL-10, IFN-gamma)of GO patients was positively correlated with the severity of ocular disease. The combined therapy of tripterygium glycosides and methimazole show such advantages as low side effect and high clin-

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of sleep deprivation on expressions of Mir-132,mir-134 in the different regions of rat brain.MethodsAll the male SD rats were divided into control group ( normal sleep group),sleep deprivation (SD).The modified multiple platform method (MMPM) was used to establish sleep deprivation model.Mir-132,mir-134 level was detected by real time PCR.ResultsMir-132 were significantly increased in SD groups in hippocampus compared with the control groups ( 51.87 ± 8.13 vs 67.25 ± 7.59 ) (P ＜0.01 ).Mir-134 were significantly decreased in SD groups compared with the control groups( 1.82 ±0.15 vs 1.45± 0.12 )(P ＜ 0.01 ).There were no statistically significant differences in cortex and thalamus (P ＞ 0.05 ).Cortex mir-132 level in SD group and control group was 1.57 ±0.10,1.48 ±0.11 respectively,and it was 1.37 ±0.09,1.36 ±0.11 in thalamus;Cortex mir-134 level in SD group and control group was 98.26 ± 5.17,100.80 ±4.15respectively,and it was 97.56 ± 6.28,91.01 ± 4.07 in thalamus.ConclusionThe upregulation of mir-132 and downregulation of mir-134 implies that two miRNAs did opposite actions in the processes of sleep deprivation.This findings indicate that hippocampus mir-132,mir-134 levels in the SD rat may reflect associated depressive patho-physiological processes.

OBJECTIVE:Allele frequencies and forensic parameters for six miniSTR loci(D10S1248,D14S1434,D22S1045,D4S2364,D2S441 and D1S1677)were analyzed in a population of 173 unrelated Chinese Han population individuals from Northeast China.METHODS:The six miniSTR loci were preformed in two multiplex fluorescent PCR systems.ABI 310 Genetic Analyzer was utilized in capillary electrophoresis and the lengths of allele fragments were analyzed.Genetic data collection and analysis software were used for data collection and genotyping.Statistical analysis was performed to the data.RESULTS:The six miniSTR loci showed a moderate degree of polymorphism in Han population from Northeast China.The observed allele sizes were from 67 bp to 115 bp,and the observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.728 to 0.827.The combined power of discrimination and the combined power of exclusion for the six miniSTR loci in Northeast China were 0.999 99,and 0.993 31,respectively.CONCLUSION:The six miniSTR showed a moderate genetic polymorphism in Han population from northeast of China.Due to their small size of PCR amplicon,the six miniSTR could be useful supplements to the CODIS STRs,and they would be useful in population genetics and forensic analysis.

Objective:To study the effects of polysaccharide from Lycium barbarum (LBP) on cell apoptosis and bc1-2 gene expression in irradiated mice. Methods:Forty eight Kunming mice were divided into three groups (LBP group, radiation group and normal group). LBP chow was prepared through adding 0.8%LBP to normal chow and was supplied to LBP group. Normal chow was supplied to normal group and radiation group. LBP group and radiation group were exposed to whole-body 60Co ?-rays at the dose of 0.084 Gy/day for 6 w, five times a week and the total dose was 2.52Gy. Then the micronucleus frequency of polychromatic erythrocytes(MF),chromosome and sperm aberration frequency, caspase-3 mRNA expression, cell apoptosis and bcl-2 gene expression were detected. Results:LBP could significantly lower MF, chromosome and sperm aberration frequency, and cell apoptosis , and it could increase the proliferation activity of bone marrow cells and bc1-2 gene expression in irradiated mice and decrease caspase-3 mRNA expression.Conclusion:The radioprotective effect of LBP is related to regulation of cell apoptosis and bc1-2 gene expression.
