Objective To investigate the correlation of serum ereatine kinase iseenzyme-MB (CK-MB) and recent cardiac events(30 days, 180 days) and late cardiac events (360 days) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods Serum creatine kinase (CK) and CK-MB in 168 patients with ACS were measured, and these patients were divided into four groups according to the levels of CK and CK-MB. The occurrence of cardiac events analysis of CK and CK-MB was followed up for 30, 180 and 360 days and the relationship between the occurrence of cardiac events and the levels of CK and CK-MB were studied. Results There was statistical correlation between increased CK-MB and abnormal ECG Q wave, ST segment change (P< 0.05), 168 patients had followed up 30, 180 and 360 days, in which cardiac events happened in 57 common patients (64 examples), 27 examples (16.1%) happened in the recent cardiac event, and 37 examples(22.0%) happened in the late cardiac event. The cardiac event and CK-MB elevation had statistical correlation (P<0.05). Conclusion ACS patients with increased CK-MB levels prompt a poor prognosis, and could be an independent indicator of recent and late cardiac events in patients with ACS.

Objective To report the surgical technique and preliminary clinical results of bilateral decompression under microscope via unilateral approach for the treatment of lumbar stenosis. Methods Sixteen eases of lumbar stenosis were treated in our institute. For the surgical treatment, only one side paraspinous muscle was dissected. The upper and lower margins of the adjacent laminae were drilled, and the underlying ligament flavum was exposed. By changing the direction of the microscopy, the base of the spinous process and the internal side of the contralateral laminae were also drilled off till the lateral recess. Finally, decompression of the spinal canal was achieved by removing the ligament llavum. Results Follow-up ranged from 6 to 47 months. Intermittent claudication was totally relieved in 14 out of 16 cases, and markedly relieved in 2 cases. Back pain was relieved totally in 6 cases, marked improved in 8 cases, not change in 2 cases. Pain was significantly relieved in all 5 cases with sciatica, among them, diseetomy had to be performed in 3 cases. During follow-up, there was no symptom recurrence, and dynamic X ray did not show lumbar in-stability. Conclusion Bilateral decompression under microscope via unilateral approach for the treatment of lumbar stenosis is minimally invasive surgery, the effect of the operation is good. The technique has little in-fluence on spinal stability.

Objective: To compare the similarities and differences of teeth movement at different time points after distraction osteogenesis, and to explore the best time point of teeth movement after distraction osteogenesis. Methods: The experiment was carried out on 8 beagle dogs. Group I: started teeth movement at the second week after distraction osteogenesis. Group Ⅱ: started teeth movement at the sixth week after distraction osteogenesis. Analyzed the root, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone by physical measurement, X-rays and HE staining methods. Results: In the second and sixth week after distraction osteogenesis, the distance between the third and fourth premolar teeth reduced significantly(P<0.05), there was a remarkable difference between group I and group Ⅱ(P<0.05). Conclusion: Under the same force, the speed of tooth movement in the second week is faster than that in the sixth week, but periodontal absorption in the second week is more serious than that in the sixth week.

Objective To construct cDNA entry library and cDNA expression library of Armillifer agkistrodontis (A.) nymphs and make a preliminary immunoscreening for the cDNA expression library.Methods The nymphs were collected from the Kunming mice infected experimentally with A.agkistrodontis eggs and the total RNA were extracted from the nymphs using TRIzol Reagent.After purifying the mRNA,the synthesized cDNAs were cloned into the donor vector pDONR222 by BP reaction of Gateway technology and the recombinants were transformed into the DH10B cells by electroporation,the cDNA entry library was obtained.Next,the expression vector pDEST17 was ligated with entry clones by LR reaction,and the recombinants were transformed into the BL21 (DE3) cells.Hence,the cDNA expression library was constructed.Then,the expression library was immunoscreened with the mixed sera of mice infected with A.agkistrodontis,and the insertions of positive clones were sequenced.After that,the open reading frame(ORF) of positive slone sequence,the homology of the screened genes and their encoded proteins were analyzed by Finder and BLAST (basic local alignment search tool) program of National Center of Biotechnology Information(NCBI),and the discovered new genes were submitted into the GenBank.Besides,the physico-chemical properties,secondary structure and B cell epitopes of encoded proteins were also analyzed by bioinformatics software.Results The average titer and total clones of the cDNA entry library were 1.45 × 105 CFU/ml(colony-forming unit,CFU) and 1.74 × 106 CFU,respectively,and the range of fragment length of the inserted cDNA was between 0.2-4.0 kb,with an average of 1.4 kb.The total clones of cDNA expression library were 1.00 × 105 CFU,and the fragment length of the inserted cDNA was between 0.3-2.2 kb,with an average of 1.0 kb.Five positive clones,coded S1,S5,A1,D1 and F1,respectively,were obtained through preliminary immunoscreening.The sequence and homology of the five positive clones were sequenced and analyzed by BLAST program.No significant similarities were found in pentastomida species,which meant that they were all novel genes of A.agkistrodontis.The gene sequences were submitted to GenBank,with the accession number from JQ180451 to JQ180455.Also,results obtained by bioinformatics software showed that the predictive encoding proteins were all potential to be valuable recombinant diagnostic antigens.Conclusions The cDNA library of A.agkistrodontis nymphs is successfully constructed,and five new genes of A.agkistrodontis are discovered.The establishment of cDNA library and the discovery of the new genes will lay a foundation for further studying the gene functions and screening the immunodiagnostic antigens.

Objective To investigate the effect of different concentrations of TPh on hepatoma cells , cell viability and and its possible mechanisms of anti-tumor.Methods The inhibitory rate of hepatoma cells and cell viability on different concentrations of TPh and time were measured by MTT assay;The morphological changes of apoptosis were observed by Hoechst 33258 straining; Cell cycle distribution was evaluated by flow cytometry (FCM).The protein expression of Bcl-2 and Bax were detected by Western blot analysis.Results MTT assay showed that TPh inhibited the proliferation of HepG-2 cells in a dose-dependent manner, and the inhibitory rate increased with the increase of concentration.The inhibitory rate was 50.9% (P<0.01).The results of Hoechst 33258 staining showed that the fluorescence intensity of hepatocellular carcinoma cells was light blue in fluorescence microscopy and bright blue fluorescence in apoptotic hepatocarcinoma cells, and the apoptosis of hepatocarcinoma cells increased with the increase of drug concentration.The percentage of cells in G0/G1 phase increased with the increase of cell cycle, and the ratio of cells in S phase was decreased in G2/M phase compared with blank control group (P<0.05);Western blot results showed that compared with the blank control group, TPh inhibited the proliferation of Bcl-2 cells in a concentration-dependent manner ( P <0.05 ) , and the number of apoptotic cells increased with the increase of drug concentration (P<0.05), and the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax in the TPh group decreased significantly (P<0.05), and the expression of Bax gene increased. Conclusion TPh inhibits cell proliferation, promotes apoptosis and induces HepG-2 to block G0/G1 phase.Its mechanism may increase the expression of Bax and decrease Bcl-2 protein expression.

ObjectiveTo investigate effects of 8Hz 90dB and 8Hz 130dB infrasound on hippocampi ultrastructure of SD rats.Methods60 male SD rats were randomly divided into the control group and experimental group. Rats of experimental group were exposed to 8Hz 90dB or 8Hz 130dB infrasound 2 hours every day for 1,7,14, 21,28,35 and 42 days. As soon as the exposure finished,the right hippocampus of rat was taken and examined by electron microscopy.ResultsHippocampus ultrastructure of rats was changed after only one day exposure to infrasound and the longer exposure to infrasound, the worse ultrastructure changed. But during the latter period,damages of hippocampus ultrastructure became lighter. Different rules were observed between 90dB and 130dB groups.ConclusionInfrasound of 8Hz 90dB and 8Hz 130dB can make hippocampus ultrastructure of rats damaged mainly as denaturalizations. These changes are nonliner with time, and the hippocampus of rats has adaptability to infrasound.

Abstract: Objective　To investigate the fundus arteriosclerosis and its influencing factors in HIV/AIDS patients after long-term highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Methods　The clinical basic data and fundus examination data of 203 HIV/AIDS patients before and after HAART in the Fourth People 's Hospital of Nanning from January 2020 to June 2022 were collected to evaluate the occurrence of fundus arteriosclerosis and analyze its influencing factors. Results　Of the 203 HIV/AIDS patients, 159 patients developed fundus arteriosclerosis, with an incidence of 78.33%, including 33 patients with grade Ⅰ(20.75%), 87 patients with grade Ⅱ (54.72%), 28 patients with grade Ⅲ(17.61%), and 11 patients (6.92%) with Grade Ⅳ. Before HAART, there was no significant difference in CD4+T lymphocyte count, CD8+T lymphocyte count, viral load, white blood cell count, platelet count, hemoglobin, serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, triacylglycerol, total cholesterol, fasting blood glucose, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and serum total bilirubin between the atherosclerosis group and normal group (P>0.05). After 6 months of HAART, CD8+T lymphocyte count, triacylglycerol and fasting blood glucose in atherosclerosis group were significantly higher than those in normal group (P<0.05). In the stratified comparison of CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocyte counts after 6 months of HAART, the proportion of patients with CD4+ lymphocyte count (CD4+)<200 (cells/μL) in the atherosclerosis group was significantly higher than that in the normal group; the proportion of patients with CD4+ lymphocyte count (CD4+)≥500 (cells/μL) was significantly lower than that in the normal group; the proportion of patients with CD8+ lymphocyte count CD8+≥ 800/μL was significantly higher than that in the normal group (all P<0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that opportunistic infection, HIV course, CD4+T, CD8+T lymphocyte count after HAART and triglyceride were independent risk factors for ocular fundus atherosclerosis in HIV/AIDS patients (all P<0.05). Conclusions　The incidence of ocular fundus arteriosclerosis is high in HIV/AIDS patients. More than 4 years of HIV course, combined opportunistic infection, Low CD4+T lymphocyte count after 6 months of HAART, high CD8+T lymphocyte count and high triglyceride level are independent risk factors for ocular fundus arteriosclerosis in HIV/AIDS patients. Fundus screening should be performed before and after HAART in such population, HAART program should be formulated for the risk of cardiovascular disease, and risk management of cardiovascular disease should be strengthened during treatment to improve patient outcomes.
