Objective: To investigate the effect of nocturnal hypertension in essential hypertension (EH) patients with early renal dysfunction. Methods: A total of 182 EH patients were enrolled in this study. According to weather the average night blood pressure (BP) > 120/70 mmHg, the patients were divided into 2 groups: Nocturnal hypertension group,n=89 and Control group,n=93. The levels of urine micro albumin (mALB), podocalyxin (PCX) and serum Cyst-C were examined and compared between 2 groups. Results:① For BP: the average systolic and diastolic BP in Nocturnal hypertension group were higher than those in Control group as SBP (138.05 ± 6.33) mmHg vs (102.51 ± 8.76) mmHg, DBP (84.11 ± 6.32) mmHg vs (70.03 ± 4.56) mmHg, P<0.05. ② For renal dysfunction biomarkers: several biomarker levels were higher in Nocturnal hypertension group than those in Control group as mALB (13.60 ± 0.69) mg vs (10.04 ± 0.73) mg, PCX (5.35 ± 1.69) ng/ml vs (2.05 ± 0.88) ng/ml and serum Cyst-C (1.35 ± 0.69) mg/L vs (1.02 ± 0.44) mg/L, allP<0.05.③ For correlation study: In Nocturnal hypertension group, the PCX level was positively correlated to the levels of mALB (r=0.675,P<0.05), Cyst-C (r=0.734,P<0.05), night BP (r=0.830, P<0.05) and the duration EH (r=0.688,P<0.05). Conclusion: EH patients with nocturnal hypertension have more incidences to suffer from renal dysfunction, the examination of mALB, PCX and Cyst-C are beneifciary for the early diagnosis in relevant patients.

Objective: Giant left ventricle is one of the important dangerous factors impacting the results of valve replacement operation.In order to improve the efficiency of operation,we summarized our experience in valve replacement surgery for patients with giant left ventricle(LVEDD ≥ 7.0 cm).Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 138 cases of giant left ventricle treated by valve replacement operation in our hospital from June 1996 to April 2008.The preoperative left ventricular end diastolic dimension(LVEDD),left ventricle end systolic dimension(LVESD),left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) and left ventricular fractional shortening(LVFS) were 7.38-10.51 cm(mean 7.98?0.39),5.20-7.93(mean 5.88 ? 1.03),0.21-0.66(mean 0.43 ? 0.11) and 0.10-0.45(mean 0.25 ? 0.07),respectively.Eighty-nine of the patients had the heart function(NYHA) of class Ⅲ,and the other 49 class Ⅳ.Mitral valve replacement(MVR) was performed for 57 cases,aortic valve replacement(AVR) for 26,double valves replacement(DVR) for 40,and Bentall operation for the other 15.Meanwhile,78 of them underwent tricuspid valve plasty(TVP),and another 17(LVEDD ≥8.5 cm and LVEF ≤ 25%) partial left ventriculectomy(PLV).Results: The early postoperative mortality rate was 5.8%,mainly due to postoperative multiple organ failure,severe low cardiac output syndrome and ventricular fibrillation.Compared with the preoperative data,postoperative echocardiography showed that LVEDD and LVESD were decreased slowly at 2 weeks,and LVEF and LVFS significantly improved at 6 months.In the 17 patients who underwent PLV,LVEDD and LVESD were significantly reduced at 2 weeks,and LVEF and LVFS markedly improved.Conclusion:The key to the efficiency of valve replacement for giant left ventricle was proper choice of the blood containing stop-beating fluid during the operation,preserving the posterior valve of the mitral valve and the structure beneath it,shortening aortic cross-clamping time as much as possible,and perioperative prevention and management of arrhythmia.The short-term effect of valve replacement with simultaneous PLV is satisfactory,while its long-term effect is yet to be further investigated.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are a family of nuclear hormone receptors belonging to the steroid receptor superfamily. Three PPAR isoforms, PPAR?, PPAR? (also known as PPAR?) and PPAR? have been found in the mouse. They can activate expression of many genes, including those involved in lipidmetabolism. PPAR? is ubiquitously expressed, but the level of expression differs markedly between different cell types. PPAR? is expressed in skeletal muscle at 10- and 50-fold higher levels compared with PPAR? and PPAR?, respectively. A role for PPAR? in skeletal muscle is to increase the genes expression with relation to oxidative metabolism. In order to determine the molecular mechanisms governing PPAR? gene expression in muscle, a 2 kb 5′ flanking region was cloned and analyzed. The DNA fragment is able to transcribe GFP in COS7 cells. Dual luciferase assay is used to quantify promoter activity. Deletion analysis of the 2 kb PPAR? promoter fragment in COS7 and NIH 3T3 cells shows that the proximal promoter sequence, nt -197 to +120, confers basal transcriptional activity of the mouse PPAR? gene. Computational analysis of putative cis-acting elements located within the ～2.0 kb mouse PPAR? 5′-flanking sequence was performed using the TRANSFAC database and MatInspector software and 4 potential MEF2A binding sites were found. And there is a potential binding site sharing 100% identity with positive element of MEF2A in the proximal promoter (nt -261). Co-transfection experiments of the PPAR? promoter reporter and pMEF2A expression plasmid (pMEF2A) showed that MEF2A significantly enhanced transcription activity of PPAR? promoter in NIH 3T3. Moreover, the enhancive effect depended on the concentration of plasmid pMEF2A transfected into cells. The results suggested that MEF2A may enhance transcription activity of the PPAR promoter in muscle cells.

Objective To explore the change of serum thyroid hormone related indicators and the probability of occurrence of thyroid dysfunction abnormality in the patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods 86 patients with T2DM and 61 age-matched and gender-matched individuals with healthy physical examination as controls were selected and detected serum FT3,FT4 and TSH by the electrochemiluminescence method Results The serum FT3,FT4 and TSH in the T2DM group were 5.09 pmol/L, 17.32 pmol/L and 2.81 mIU/L respectively;which in the normal control group were 4.99 pmol/L,17.24 pmol/L and 2.71 mIU/L respectively,the differences between the two groups had no statistical significance(P >0.05).Among 86 cases of T2DM,29 cases had the serum abnormal TSH with the abnormal rate of 33.7%,which in the control group was 14.8% with statistical difference between the two groups(P <0.05).Among T2DM patients,the TSH abnormal rate of in females was 42.1%,which was higher than 17.2% in males.Conclusion The serum thyroid hormone detection is necessary for the T2DM patients,especially female pa-tients,which is conducive to early screening,prevention and treatment.

Methods Serum uric acid, creatinine (Cr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), fasting gluose (FG), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG) were detected in 1073 subjects with hyperuricemia and 1235 subjects with normal serum uric acid as control of middle and elder groups. Results The means of Cr, BUN, FG, TG ,TC in hyperuricemia were significantly higher than those in the control group,respectively (males: t′ =7. 508,P ＜0.05;t′ =9. 484,P ＜0.05;t=6.208,P＜0.05;t′ =7.055,P ＜0.05;t = 5. 097,P ＜0.05;females;t′ = 11.221,P ＜0.05;t′= 8.314,P ＜0.05 ;t =5. 641 ,P ＜0.05 ;t′ =8. 328 ,P ＜0.05 ;t =7. 227 ,P ＜ 0.05). In males,the mean of the BUN; FG and TG were significant different among the different age groups (the control group: F = 3. 500, P ＜ 0.05; F = 5. 607, P ＜0.05 ;F =3. 378,P ＜0.05 ;the hyperuricemia group: F= 15.400,P ＜0.05 ;F =5. 111 ,P ＜0.05 ;F = 11. 143 ,P ＜0.05), the positive rate of BUN, Cr, FG and TG were significant different among the different age groups (control group:χ2 = 17. 112,P ＜ 0.05;χ2 =7. 807,P ＜0.05 ;χ2 = 17. 829,P ＜0.05;χ2=8.433,P ＜0.05; hyperuricemia group:χ2 =35. 587,P ＜0.05 ;χ2 =83. 005 ,P ＜0.05 ;χ2 =41. 639,P ＜0.05 ;χ2 =31. 466,P ＜0.05). In the same age group,the mean and the positive rate of BUN and Cr were significantly higher in the hyperuricemia group than in the control group(P ＜ 0.05). The mean of TG was significantly higher in every age group of the hyperuricemia group than controls (P ＜ 0.05), but the positive rate had no significant differences in the age group of ≥ 70 years (P ＞0.05). The mean and the positive rate of FG and TC were significant differences in middle age group between the hyperuricemia and the control group (P ＜ 0.05), but were no differences in elder age group(P ＞ 0.05). In females,the mean and positive rate of Cr, BUN, FG,TG and TC were significant different in different age groups of the controls(BUN:F = 13. 759,P ＜0.05;χ2 = 19. 491 ,P ＜0.05; FG: F = 13. 554,P ＜0.05;χ2 = 33. 438,P ＜0.05;TG:F= 18. 160,P ＜0.05;χ2 = 16. 978,P ＜0.05;TC: F = 37. 647,P ＜0.05;χ2 =60.547,P ＜0.05) ,but in the hyperuricemia group that were only significant difference in BUN, Cr and TC (BUN:F = 5. 830, P ＜ 0.05; χ2 =11.941,P＜0.05;Cr:F=4.057,P ＜0.05;χ2 =20.097,P＜0.05;TC:F=7.934,P ＜0.05;χ2 = 16.405,P ＜0.05). In same age group compared of all the indices were similar with male. Conclusions The mechanism of serum uric acid increasing are different in middle age and elderly age. In middle age, it is metabolic disturbance. However,in elderly age it is descending of the kidney function.

Cardiomyocyte autophagy plays an important role in maintaining normal cardiac structure and function.Recent studies have shown that cardiomyocyte autophagy is decreased in the aging heart.The expression of autophagy-related genes Atg5, Atg7 and Beclin1 decreases in the aging myocardium.Decreased cardiomyocyte autophagy in the aging heart is associated with dysregulation of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase(PI3K)/serine-threonine kinase(Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR), adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase(AMPK)and/or the SIRT1 signaling pathways.In addition, reactive oxygen species and some neural hormonal factors such as endothelin-1 can also mediate the decrease of cardiomyocyte autophagy in cardiac aging.The regulation of cardiomyocyte autophagy may provide new strategies for the prevention and treatment of cardiomyopathy in the elderly.
