Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and complicated left ventricular wall rupture (LVWR). Methods A retrospective analysis was made on the clinical features, diagnosis and successful treatment in three AMI patients with LVWR from December 2015 to April 2016. Results Three cases were included in this study. Case 1, the mesh like cardiac rupture after AMI was diagnosed by ultrasonic Doppler. Emergency revascularization was performed due to the combined cardiac shock, and the infarct related artery was opened. The vasoactive drugs were used after revascularization to reduce ventricular pressure load and volume load in the haemodynamic monitoring, and anticoagulation, antiplatelet agents were less used or discontinued to promote local thrombus healing of ventricular rupture. Case 2 was a recurrent myocardial infarction patient. LVWR was diagnosed by ultrasonic Doppler one day after emergency operation. The ruptured ventricular wall was encapsulated by thrombus. The drug therapy was effective in hemodynamic monitoring. LVWR was further confirmed by cardiac CT after clinical stabilization. Case 3 was diagnosed LVWR by ultrasonic Doppler four days after AMI. Because the ruptured ventricular wall was limited by incompletely organized thrombus, and the haemodynamic condition was stable, selective surgical repair of rupture after coronary angiography was performed. Conclusion The effective drug therapy combined with percutaneous coronary intervention and surgical repair can reduce the risk of death in patients with LVWR after AMI.

Objective:
: Kinesin family member C1 (KIFC1), a non-essential kinesin-like motor protein, has been found to serve a crucial role in supernumerary centrosome clustering and the progression of several human cancer types. However, the role of KIFC1 in glioma has been rarely reported. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the role of KIFC1 in glioma progression.
Methods:
: Online bioinformatics analysis was performed to determine the association between KIFC1 expression and clinical outcomes in glioma. Immunohistochemical staining was conducted to analyze the expression levels of KIFC1 in glioma and normal brain tissues. Furthermore, KIFC1 expression was knocked in the glioma cell lines, U251 and U87MG, and the functional roles of KIFC1 in cell proliferation, invasion and migration were analyzed using cell multiplication, wound healing and Transwell invasion assays, respectively. The autophagic flux and expression levels matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2) were also determined using imaging flow cytometry, western blotting and a gelation zymography assay.
Results:
: The results revealed that KIFC1 expression levels were significantly upregulated in glioma tissues compared with normal brain tissues, and the expression levels were positively associated with tumor grade. Patients with glioma with low KIFC1 expression levels had a more favorable prognosis compared with patients with high KIFC1 expression levels. In vitro, KIFC1 knockdown not only inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of glioma cells, but also increased the autophagic flux and downregulated the expression levels of MMP2.
Conclusion
: Upregulation of KIFC1 expression may promote glioma progression and KIFC1 may serve as a potential prognostic biomarker and possible therapeutic target for glioma.

Objective To observe the effects of Ziyin Xifeng Fang ( ZYXFF) , a Chinese medicine com-pound formulated by the method of nourishing yin and extinguishing wind, on the blood pressure and renal JAK/STAT signal pathway in the rat model of spontaneously hypertension ( SH) . Methods 40 SH rats were randomly divided into four groups ( n=10 each):model group, low dose of ZYXFF( low-dose) group, high dose of ZYXFF ( high-dose) group and compound apocynum group. Another 10 SKY rats with the same background were included in the control group. The rats of three treatment groups were ad-ministered intragastrically ( i. g. ) proper drugs, and those of control group and model group were i. g. sa-line for consecutive 42 days. The systolic blood pressure ( BP) was measured by using small animal non-invasive blood pressure meter at Day 0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 and Day 42. Two hours after i. g. at the last day of medication, all the rats were sacrificed. The serum contents of creatinin ( Cr) , blood urea nitrogen ( BUN) , and uric acid ( UA) were determined. The serum contents of IL-6 and TNF-αwere detected by ELISA assay, and the protein expression of renal p-JAK1 and p-STAT1 were measured by Western blot. Results Compared with control group, BP, Cr, BUN, UA, IL-6 and TNF-α increased significantly in model group, and the all indexes of the rats of the three medication groups decreased remarkably ( P<0. 05 or P<0 . 01 ) , especially the effects of high dose of ZYXFF and compound apocynum were stronger than those of low dose ZYXFF. Compared with control group, in model group rats renal p-JAK1, p-STAT1 protein expression significantly increased ( P<0 . 01 ) . The protein expressions of p-JAK1 and p-STAT1 decreased in the three medication groups compared with the model group ( P <0 . 05 or P <0 . 01 ) . Conclusion The mechanism of ZYXFF lowering blood pressure and attenuating the renal function impairment should be by the way of inhibiting the activation of JAK/STAT signal pathway.
