A questionnaire survey on chronic heart failure management was conducted in 110 physicians from Xindu,Supo,Jiajiang and Xinhua community hospital in Chengdu from January 2007 to June 2010.Results showed that 77.3％ (85/110) of community physicians lacked knowledge about prevention,diagnosis and treatment of chronic heart failure,and the diagnostic accuracy rate was only 51.3％ (40/78) in these community hospitals.There was lack of awareness of the guideline of chronic heart failure:the rate of β blockers use was 15.0％ (6/40) and only 5.0％ (2/40) used the target dose; the rate of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor use was 17.5％ (7/40) and only 7.50％ (3/40) used the target dose.In addition,90％ (99/110) of community doctors lacked the education and management for patients with heart failure.The survey suggests that the current situation of chronic heart failure management in community physicians in Chengdu is unsatisfactory.It is necessary to strengthen the training of community physicians.

Objective To investigate the suppression effect of expressing parvovirus H-1 nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) gene on human gastric cancer cells and the possible mechanisms.Methods A recombinant enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) labeled NS1 of parvovirus H-1 plasmid was constructed.Human gastric cancer cell line SGC7901 was transfected with recombinant plasmid (experiment group) or blank vector (negative control group) and blank control group was treated with equal amount of phosphate buffered saline (blank control group).After transfection,the distribution of fluorescent signal was observed under fluorescent microscope.The expression of NS1 at gene and protein level was measured.Cell growth curve of each group was drawn.The expression of cell senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) was tested.The changes of cell cycle were investigated by flowcytometry.Two groups' comparision was performed by t-test.Results After transfection,NS1 was expressed in SGC7901 cells at gene and protein level.Compared with negative control group,the fluorescent signal accumulated in cell nucleus in experiment group.The percentage of SA-β-Gal positive cell in experiment group ((30.5 ± 1.4) ％) was higher than that of negative control group ((4.4± 1.1) ％) and the difference was statistically significant (t =-12.931,P ＜ 0.01).The growth inhibition rate of SGC7901 cells from the first day to the fourth day was 45％,62％,73％ and 77％,respectively.The cell cycle of eGFP-NS1 expressed SGC7901 cells was arrested at G0/G1 phase.Conclusion Parvovirus H-1 NS1 play the role in cell nucleus of gastric cancer cell line SGC7901 and could make cell cycle arrested at G0/G1 phase,which effectively inhibited the proliferation SGC7901 cell.

The microflora plays an important role in providing nutrients to the intestinal mucosal cells.The disruption of the intestinal microflora balance may modify the intestinal barrier function, and influence the health.Dietary fibre can be divided into solububle fibre and insoluable fibre.Insoluable fibre plays an important role in faecal bulking and prevention of constipation.The human body can obtain energy for growth and maintenance of cellular function from fermentation of solable fibre.

Objective To prepare 99Tcm-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) affibody (ABH2) and explore its feasibility as an imaging agent in HER2-positive breast cancer.Methods Sodium glucoheptonate and SnCl2 · 2H2O were used to label ABH2 with 99Tcm.The labeling yield and radiochemical purity of 99Tcm-ABH2 were determined.The stability of 99Tcm-ABH2 was tested in PBS and serum.The equilibrium disassociation constant (Kd) of 99Tcm-ABH2 was measured with MBA-MD-361 breast cancer cells.SPECT/CT imaging was carried out at 1.0 h and 4.5 h after injection of 37 MBq 99Tcm-ABH2 in nude mice (n=4) xenografted with MBA-MD-361 breast cancer.The T/NT (liver,brain,lung,heart,bone and muscle) ratios were deduced from SPECT/CT acquired data.For the blocking experiment,200 μg ABH2 was injected intravenously before 99Tcm-ABH2 injection.SPECT/CT imaging was performed in the same way.The T/NT ratios were compared between non-blocked and blocked groups by one-way analysis of variance.Results Fhe labeling yield of 99Tcm-ABH2 was above 99％.99Tcm-ABH2 was substantially stable in PBS and serum;the radiochemical purity was (95.0± 1.0)％ after incubation with serum at 37 ℃ for 6.0 h.The Kd of 99Tcm-ABH2 was 1.7 nmol/L.The radioactive uptake in cancer was visualized at 1.0 h and 4.5 h after injection of 99Tcm-ABH2 in HER2 positive MDA-MB-361 breast cancer.99Tcm-ABH2 was cleared out mainly through urinary system.The ratios of tumor to liver,lung,brain,heart,muscle and bone were 1.81± 0.60,8.95±1.13,20.08±6.12,7.61±0.56,10.62±1.78,11.42±2.07,respectively at 4.5 h after 99Tcm-ABH2 injection.After ABH2 blocking,the corresponding T/NT ratios were 0.60±0.23,3.05± 1.38,5.24±2.17,2.42±1.02,8.16±2.66,2.76±0.48 (F=29.38,P＜0.05) respectively.Conclusion 99Tcm-ABH2 could be synthesized with high purity,and this new agent could be used to image HER2-positive breast cancer specifically.
