Objective To explore the value of reactive hyperemia index (RHI) in predicting the postoperative angina pectoris (AP) in the patients with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods Three hundreds and forty-seven patients with coronary heart disease treated by PCI therapy were continuously enrolled in our department from October 10 2015 to August 10 2016.RHI was detected in all cases during hospitalization period by using the noninvasive endothelial function test (Endo-PAT) technique.Then the cases were divided into the control group (RHI≥1.67) and observation group (RHI ＜1.67) according to RHI results.The incidence of AP after discharge from hospital,rehospitalization rate due to AP,frequency and duration of AP were observed in the two groups.Results The AP incidence rates in the control and observation group were 17.04％ and 31.13％ respectively,the difference was statistically significant(P=0.003);the re-hospitalization rate due to AP was 2.22％ and 7.55％ respectively,the difference was statistically significant(P =0.035);the incidence rates of AP attack≥5 times were 6.67 ％ and 16.51 ％ respectively(P=0.008);the duration of AP was (6.39±2.68) min and (8.67±2.58) min,respectively(P=0.001);the Logistic regression analysis showed that the Syntax scores≥23 points and RHI＜1.67 were the risk factors for AP recurrence after PCI(OR=2.265,95％CI:1.354-3.787,P=0.002;OR=2.110,95％CI:1.228-3.628,P=0.007).Conclusion Reduced RHI is closely related with recurrent AP after PCI,increases the incidence,rehospitalization rate due to AP,attack frequency and duration of AP.

Objective To analyze the survival rate of HIV /AIDS patients receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy(HAART)since the implementation of the national Four Free and One Carepolicy against HIV in Hangzhou.Methods Clinical data of 2370 AIDS patients were collected from National AIDS Comprehensive Treatment Information System Treatment Library from 2004 to 2014.The data, including basic information,viral load,CD4 +T lymphocyte counts,starting time of treatment,WHO clinical stage,infection pathways and follow-up were respectively analyzed.Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards models were used to analyze the survival rate and the factors affecting survival.Results The total follow-up time was 3968.14 person years and 57 patients died in 2370 patients with a mortality rate of 1 .44 /100 person years (57 /3968.14).Kaplan-Meier method showed that the cumulative survival rates of the first,third and fifth year were 98.08%,96.20% and 95.24%,respectively.The overall mortality rate fell from 6.06 /100 person years in 2006 to 1 .44 /100 person years in 2014.The mortality rate of AIDS-related disease declined from 1 .10 /100 person years in 2009 to 0.90 /100 person years in 2014.Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the risk of death for patients with CD4 +T 200-349 cells/μL was 0.466 times(95%CI 0.246-0.882)as that for patients with CD4 +T cells <200 /μL.The risk of death was 3.408 times(95%CI 1 .365-8.506)in patients aged≥ 50 years,3.788 times(95%CI 1 .645-8.718)in patients aged 40 to <50 years,and 2.593 times(95%CI 1 .139-5.905)in patients aged 30 to 40 years as that in patients aged <30 years.The mortality risk for patients with baseline WHO stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ was 1 .960 times as patients with WHO stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ (95% CI 1 .117-3.439 ).Conclusions Patients with increased age,low CD4 +T counts and baseline WHO stage Ⅲ or Ⅳ are main risk factors affecting survival rate of HIV /AIDS patients,early antiviral therapy is the key for improving the survival rate of patients.

Objective To assesse the quality of life of patients after cardiac pacemaker implantation using the Chinese version of SF-36.Methods Ninety-eight patients with permanent cardiac pacemaker implantation were investigated before and after the operation in terms of quality of life by using the Chinese version SF-36.Results Successful surgery was performed on all the 98 patients.The previous symptoms of the patients were improved to vari- ous extend after the operation.The quality of life of the patients was significantly improved after operation as demon- strated by the significant difference of the scores in 9 domains of SF-36 when compared with those before the operation (P

OBJECTIVETo build three-dimensional (3-D) visible model for surgical treatment of infection of fascial spaces of hand.

METHODSSerial thin cross-sections (0.2 mm) of hand were made by cryomicrotome, and the thin cross-sections of metacarpal parts were observed. A personal computer was employed to reconstruct 3-D model of metacarpal fascial space.

RESULTSThe shapes, locations and adjacent relations of the mid-palmar space, thenar space and metacarpal bones were displayed clearly from computerized 3-D model, which could be the cross-reference of the cross-sections expediently.

CONCLUSIONThe computerized 3-D reconstruction of metacarpal fascial spaces can provide some guidance for surgical treatment of infection and other diseases of metacarpal fascial spaces.

Small ubiquitin-like modifier protein (SUMO) modification is a highly dynamic process, catalyzed by SUMO-specific activating (E1), conjugating (E2) and ligating (E3) enzymes, and reversed by a family of SUMO-specific proteases (SENPs). There are six members of the human SENP family, and each SENP has different cellular locations and substrate specificities. However, the precise roles of SENPs in cellular processes have not been elucidated to date. This brief review will focus on recent advances pertaining to the identified targets of SENP1 and its potential role in prostate cancer.

Objective To study Epstein-Barr vires infection and p16 protein abnormal expresson in carcinogenesis and progression of gastric adenocarcinomas (GAC). Methods Immunohistochemical staining SP method was used to detect the expression of LMP-1 and p16 in 97 cases of GAC. Results EBV LMP-1 and p16 protein were detected in 30.9% (30/97) and in 63.91% (62/97) cases of gastric adenocarcinomas respectively.There was no significant difference between EBV-positive and EBV-negative gastric carcinomas in sex, histologic type, depth of tumor invision, lymph node metastasis and clinical stages (P>0.05);overexpression of p16 was associated with lymph node metastasis and clinical stages; no correlation was found between the expression of EBV LMP-1 and p16 protein. Conclusion ①EBV play a role in carcinogensis of GAC. ②P16 gene abnormality is frequently involved in GAC and might be one of the important prognostic factors. ③EBV infection and p16 alteration are two independent roles in GAC carcinogenesis.

OBJECTIVESTo investigate the internal links between immune responses and Tregs and cytokine by the expression of T regulatory cells (Tregs), Foxp3 mRNA of different response groups and the detection of cytokine secretion after hepatitis B vaccination.

METHODSBlood samples were collected in different response groups. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression of Foxp3 mRNA of peripheral blood mononuclear cells; The surface markers CD4 and CD25 in peripheral-blood mononuclear cells were determined by flow cytometry; ELISA tests were used to detect the production level of phytohemagglutinin (PHA) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, IL -4, IL-12, IL-18 stimulated by HBsAg and (IFN) gamma.

RESULTS(1) Foxp3 expressions in response group and non-response group were higher before or after PHA and HBsAg were stimulated. Differences were statistically significant (P value less than 0.05) ; (2) In peripheral blood, the percentage of CD4+CD25+ Treg of CD4+ T cells in response group (0.59%+/-0.46%) was obviously lower than those in control group (1.30%+/-1.44%) ; (3) Peripheral blood mononuclear cells stimulated by PHA and HbsAg in each group, the concentration of IFNgamma in non-response group [(11.00+/-9.03) IU/ml] was markedly lower than those in response group [(38.88+/-28.16) IU/ml],and differences were statistically significant (P value less than 0.01); (4) In PHA- or HBsAg-stimulated peripheral-blood mononuclear cells, the concentrations of IL-18, IL-4 and IL-12 had no significant difference.

CONCLUSIONSTo some extent, CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Treg cells may be involved in negative regulation of the immune responses to HBV vaccination. Immune non-response to HBV vaccination may be connected to insufficient secretion of IFNgamma; There was no correlation between the titer of anti-HBs and the expressions of IFNgamma and CD4+CD25+ Foxp3.
