Objective: To analyze influence of fluvastatin on carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and pulse pressure (PP) in patients with essential hypertension (EH). Methods: A total of 62 EH patients were enrolled and randomly divided into fluvastatin group (n=32, received fluvastatin therapy based on routine antihypertensive therapy) and routine treatment group (n=30, received routine antihypertensive therapy). Course of treatment was one year for all patients. Levels of blood lipids, PP and carotid IMT were compared between two groups before, six and 12 months after treatment. Results: Compared with before treatment, there were significant decrease in levels of all blood lipids, PP [(66.9±7.3) mmHg vs. (53.1±6.2) mmHg] and IMT [(0.97±0.42) mm vs. (0.76±0.29) mm] in fluvastatin group after treatment six and 12 months, and significantly improved more than those of routine treatment group, P<0.05 all. The levels of above-mentioned indexes were no significant improvement in routine treatment group before and after treatment(P>0.05). Conclusion: Fluvastatin can improve carotid intima-media thickness and pulse pressure in patients with hypertension and is worth extending in clinic.

Setting up the 3D finite element (FE) model on the basis of medical images is a necessary method of biomechanical analysis. The pretreatment, including data processing of images and mesh generation, becomes the bottleneck of FE analysis, and this is especially the case of the modeling for thoracic vertebrae, because the shapes and data are complicated. In this paper, on the basis of the data for building a 3D FE model of thoracic vertebrae, we present some structures and types of data which are essential for the reconstruction of CT medical image, analyze some methods for obtaining and processing the data from images, and then advance a theory for data management based on mesh generation by block with the software MSC. Marc. A 3D-FE Model of T10-T12 thoracic vertebrae is set up, which keeps the configuration of the true one, and satisfies the requirements of biomechanical analysis. We focus affention on the data obtainment and management during medical image processing and FE modeling, all of which are very important for the biomechanical analysis. It is helpful and instructive to reconstruct some similar tissues of human body on the basis of the medical images from CT, MRI, etc.

A finite element model of human mandible is developed from CT scan images by the technologies of three-dimensional reconstruction, image processing and meshing. The mandible model is connected to one modified head model of Hybrid III dummy with joint according to the anatomic structure and mechanical characteristics of the temporomandibular joint. Then a finite element model of the human head with the true anatomic structure mandible is developed. This model has been validated with the cadaver test results. It can be used in researches on the mechanism of craniofacial blunt-impact injury and on the assessment of injury severity.

Objective:To explore the correlation between thyroid hormone content and treatment outcome in patients with biphasic disorder (BPD) and depressive disorder (DPD) before and after treatment.Methods:From June 2017 to June 2019, 72 patients with BPD(BPD group), 46 patients with DPD(DPD group) who met the diagnostic criteria of International Statistics and Classification of Disease and Health problems-10th Edition (ICD-10) in the Third People′s Hospital of Jiangmen, and 20 normal controls(control group) in our Hospital were enrolled in this study.The serum concentrations of total thyroxine (TT 4), total triiodothyronine (TT 3) and high sensitivity thyrotropin (HS-TSH) were measured at baseline, and the above hormone concentrations were measured in the study group after treatment for 12 weeks.The 17 Hamilton depression scale (HAMD-17) and Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA), Bech-Rafaesdn Mania Rating Scale(BRMS) were used to evaluate the severity of symptoms at baseline and at the end of treatment.The curative effect was compared between the two groups, and the correlation between the curative effect (score reduction rate) and thyroid hormone level (concentration change) was observed. Results:At baseline, the concentrations of TT 4, TT 3 of patients with depressive phase in BPD group[(54.75±12.26)nmol/L, (86.26±15.29)nmol/L] were lower than those in the control group[(145.64±12.15)nmol/L, (156.78±36.54)nmol/L], and the TSH level in BPD group[(68.97±5.98)mIU/L]was higher than that in the control group[(45.59±9.28)mIU/L]; the levels of TT 4, TT 3 of patients with manic and mixed phase in BPD group[(166.75±12.25)nmol/L, (186.36±35.15)nmol/L] were higher than those in the control group, and the level of TSH in BPD group[(7.87±3.56)mIU/L] was lower than that in the control group; the concentrations of TT 4, TT 3 in DPD group[(65.59±23.11)nmol/L, (92.21±19.36)nmol/L] were lower than those in the control group, and the TSH level in DPD group[(69.38±14.75)mIU/L] was higher than that in the control group, the differences were ststistically significant ( t=5.867, 4.657, 2.369, 2.789, 3.247, 6.356, 4.358, 3.265, 2.365, all P<0.05). After treatment for 12 weeks, there were no statistically significant differences in TT 3, TT 4, HS-TSH concentrations among the three groups (all P>0.05). After treatment for 12 weeks, the scores of HAMa+ d, BRMS in BPD group and DPD group were significantly lower than those at baseline ( t=8.854, 12.321, 6.756, all P<0.05). The score of HAMa+ d was negatively correlated with TT 4, TT 3 concentrations, and positively correlated with HS-TSH concentration.The score of BRMS was positively correlated with TT 4, TT 3 concentrations, and negatively correlated with HS-TSH concentration. Conclusion:The level of thyroid hormone in patients with biphasic disorder and depressive disorder is different from that in normal subjects, and the level of thyroid hormone is closely related to the curative effect.

Objective:To investigate the factors predictive of heart failure developing during hospital stay after undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 534 patients with coronary heart disease who underwent PCI treatment at Hangzhou Ninth People′s Hospital from January 2017 to September 2022. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether heart failure occurred after the operation: a heart failure group consisting of 51 patients and a control group consisting of 483 patients. Univariate comparison and multivariate analysis were performed on factors that could lead to heart failure between the two groups, and a prediction model was established.Results:Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in age at admission, presence of cerebral infarction, presence of hypertension, New York Heart Association (NYHA) heart function classification, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), serum albumin, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (dNLR), D-dimer, and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels between the PCI postoperative heart failure group and the control group (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that age ≥60 years, LVEF<40%, presence of cerebral infarction, NYHA heart function classification Ⅱ/Ⅲ, serum albumin<40.15 g/L, and dNLR≥2.30 were independent risk factors for the development of heart failure during hospitalization after PCI (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Age, LVEF, presence of cerebral infarction, NYHA heart function classification, serum albumin, and dNLR can all affect the occurrence of heart failure during hospitalization after PCI for coronary heart disease. Establishing a prediction model based on these indicators can provide guidance for clinical practice.
