Objective To investigate the effects of different pacing sites of right ventricle on serum N terminal Pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-ProBNP) and left ventricular systolic function.Methods A total of 76 patients with an implanted DDD pacemaker were randomly divided into right ventricular septal pacing group (RVSP group,n=40) and right ventricular apex pacing group (RVAP group,n=36) according to the ventricular leads position.Serum NT-proBNP level,left ventricular end diastolic dimension(LVEDD)and left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)were analyzed before and 6 months after operation in the two groups.Results There was no difference in serum NT-proBNP level between the two groups before operation,but the serum NT-proBNP level increased in both groups 6 months after operation,and it was higher in RVAP group than in RVSP group (P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in LVEDD and LVEF in RVSP group before and after implantation (P＞0.05).Compared with pre-implantation,LVEDD was increased and LVEF was decreased in RVAP group 6 months after implantation (both P＜0.05).Linear correlation analysis showed that serum NT-proBNP level was negatively correlated to LVEF (2γ=-0.76,P＜0.05).Conclusions Compared with RVAP,RVSP can keep the normal sequence of electrical activity and exert less adverse effects on left ventricular systolic function.Therefore,RVS is an ideal pacing location.

Objective To investigate the correlation of father involvement with early social adaptation behaviors.Methods With social adaptation scale for infant-junior middle school' s student and a self-made questionnaire,1246 normal children,age from 16 to 72 months,were investigated.Regression analysis was performed to get the correlation of social adaptation with time and activities of father involved.Results After controlling for mother-,child- and family-related factors,the regression analysis showed that standard score of social adaptation was positively rehted with the time of father involved ( β =0.05,P=0.03 ),the time father invloved explain 12％of the variation of social adaptation.The father-child activities were related with social adaptation behavior,playing was related with work skills (β =0.09,P＜0.01 ) and socialization ( β =0.06,P＜0.05),story listening related with communication ( β =0.07,P ＜ 0.05) and self-management ( β =0.06,P ＜ 0.05 ),other activities related with self-dependence ( β =0.07,P＜0.05) and work skills ( β =0.06,P＜0.05).Conclusion The time and activities of father involved are related with children' s social adaptation.The effect of father involvement on early social adaptation is positive.

Objective To investigate the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2)in pancreatic carcinoma and the relationship between MMP-2 with tumour clinicopatholngical features. Methods The expression of MMP-2 was detected by S-P immunohistochemistry in 36 cases with pancreatic carcinoma and 14 normal pancreat-ic tissues. Results The positive expression rate of MMP-2 was 66.7% (24/36) in pancreatic carcinoma tissue and 14.3% (2/14) in normal pancreatic tissues (χ2 = 3. 587, P < 0.01 ) ;The expression rate of MMP-2 in pancreatic carcinoma tissue with positive-node was 86.7% ( 13/15 ) ,which was higher than that with negative-node,which was 52.4% ( 11/21 ) ( P < 0.05 ) ; As to TNM staging in pancreatic carcinoma, the expression rate of MMP-2 was 41.2% (7/17) with Ⅰ,Ⅱ staging and 89.5% (17/19) with Ⅲ,Ⅳ staging(χ2=9.418,P <0. 01 ) ;The expression rate of MMP-2 was 50.0% (5/10) ,66.7% (10/15) and 72.8% (8/11) in highly,moderately and poorly differentiated pancreatic carcinoma(P > 0.05 ). Conclusions The expression of MMP-2 is strengthened significantly in pancreatic carcinoma tissue and involved in turnout invasion and metastasis features; MMP-2 might be regarded as one more marker for the invasive properties of pancreatic carcinoma.
