Objective To analyze right ventrieular diastolic dysfunction in essential hypertension by quantitative tissue velocity imaging(QTVI). Methods Twenty normotensives and forty-five hypertensives underwent standard Doppler echocardiography and QTVI of right ventricular lateral tricuspid annulus. By QTVI,diastolic measurements were obtained. According to WHO standard, the patients with hypertension were classified into three groups, grade Ⅰ (group Ⅰ) 15 cases, grade Ⅱ(group Ⅱ) 15 cases, grade Ⅲ (group Ⅲ) 15 cases. Results Pulsed Doppler eehocardiography showed impaired Doppler diastolic indexes in hypertensives, without changes among the eases groups. In all hypertension groups, QTVI showed reduction of right ventricular Ea, increase of Aa and Ea/Aa<1 comparison with controls. IVRT of Ⅱ, Ⅲgroups was longer than normal. Conclusions Right ventricular diastolic function with essential hypertension decreased according to the degree of staging. QTVI has a greater predictive value than conventional imaging, and is useful for evaluating right ventricular function in patients with essential hypertension.

OBJECTIVEThis study aimed to detect the difference in the expression levels of autolysin atIS gene of Streptococcus gordonii (S. gordonii) at different growth stages and pH values, as well as to analyze the factors regulating atlS gene expression in S. gordonii.
METHODSS. gordonii wild strains (ATCC 35105) were collected at different growth stages (early exponential phase, mid-exponential phase, late exponential stage, and platform stage) and pH values (pH 7 and pH 5.5), and total RNA was extracted by using a conventional method. Fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (FQ-PCR) was used to measure the relative mRNA expression of atlS gene, with bacterial 16S rRNA as internal reference, for a comparison of the mRNA levels of atlS gene expression in S.gordonii at different growth stages and pH values.
RESULTSFQ-PCR results showed that atlS gene expression increased with gradually increasing growth stage under neutral conditions and was higher than that under acidic conditions (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe atlS gene expression in S. gordonii is influenced by growth stage and pH value factors.

Objective To investigate the posttraumatic stress disorder(PTSD) and ethical decision-making in nurses suffered workplace violence, and analyze the relmionship between them. Methods Totally 340 nurses suffered workplace violence were questionnaired by the PTSD Scale and the Ethical Decision- making Scale. Results The incidence rate of PTSD was 17.06%(58/340), the total score of PTSD was (38.77± 13.57).The scores of ideal ethical practice, actual ethical practice and ethical decision- making in the PTSD group were 121.36±8.33, 105.56±7.76, 226.92±15.52, and were significantly lower than that in the non-PTSD group (140.60±9.01, 117.65±8.41, 258.27±16.73) (t=-14.996, -10.015, -13.153, P < 0.01). The score of PTSD was negtively correlated with the scores of ideal ethical practice, actual ethical practice and ethical decision- making (r=-0.415, -0.431,-0.420, P < 0.05). Conclusions The PTSD probably occurred after workplace violence, nursing administrators should pay close attention to the PTSD and therefore improve nurses′ethical decision-making.

Objective To probe the value of using echocardiography in transcatheter closure of ventricular septal defect (VSD).Methods Under transthoracic echocardiography and digital subtraction angiocardiography monitoring and guidance in the operation,the Amplatzer excentric umbrella occluder was used to occlude the perimembranous defects in 15 cases of patients.Results All of the patients were treated successfully,though mitral regurgitations or residual shunts occurred in 6 cases,and disappeared at once after the position and direction of occluder were regulated in 3 and these complications disappeared gradually one month postoperation in other 3 patients.The umbrella separated from VSD in 1 and occluded successfully when manipulated once again.Complete heart block occurred in 2 and disappeared after 3 days.The positions of umbrella were normal and stable and no other complications were discovered when these patients were followed about 10 months the longest.Conclusions Echocardiography plays an important role in transcatheter closure of VSD with the Amplatzer occluder before,during and after operation and in the period of follow up.

Objective To propose a novel computer-aided segment algorithm, and retrospectively investigate its effect on radiologist's sensitivity and specificity for discriminating malignant masses from benign masses basing on ultrasound images. Methods Four hundred and sixty-six images of 100 masses obtained by conventional ultrasound were processed by a novel segment algorithm. Radiologists who were blind to the histology results were invited to analyse the original and computerized images respectively. The sensitivity and specificity were calculated by means of a binary outcome using receiver operating characteristic(ROC) analysis. Results By using the segment algorithm, the quantity of the image was obviously improved, especially the margin and calcification of the masses. The diagnostic performance of the radiologists was also improved. The sensitivity rose from 70.32% to 90.52% while the specificity was 74.31%. The area under the ROC curve increased significantly (P<0.01) from 80.8% to 90.5%. Conclusions The proposed segmentation algorithm can improve the diagnosis performance of the radiologists by meliorating the quality of the ultrasound image.
