Objective To explore the role of ethyl pyruvate (EP) on E-cadherin of airway epithelium and airway inflammation in a TDI-induced mouse asthma model. Methods 30 male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into control group , asthma group and EP group. On day 1 and 8 , mice in asthma group and EP group were treated with 0.3%TDI on the dorsum of both ears for sensitization. And on day 15 , 18 and 21 the mice underwent an aerosol inhalation of 3% TDI, and saline (100 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally 1 hour before inhalation. The control group underwent acetone and olive oil (AOO) sensitization on day 1 and 8, AOO challenge on day 15, 18 and 21. Saline (100 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally 1 hour before challenge. One hour before each challenge, mice were given EP (100mg/kg) or vehicle via intraperitoneal injection. On day 22, airway reactivity, IL-4 , IFN-γand IgE in the serum were detected , immunohistochemistry and WB were used to assess E-cadherin levels. Results Airway reactivity, IL-4, IFN-γin and IgE in the serum in asthma group are significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05). Treatment with EP dramatically decreased airway hyperresponsiveness in TDI-challenged mice, as well as IL-4, IFN-γ and IgE (P < 0.05). E-cadherin in control group was distributed evenly at the connection of epithelial cells. E-cadherinin distribution was chaotic and its expression was decreased in asthma group. EP intervention can ameliorate the damage of E-cadherinin. Conclusions EP can ameliorate the destruction of E-cadherin in airway epithilum by TDI.

Objective To investigate the impact of paced QRS duration (pQRSd) on heart function in patients with right ventricular apical pacing. Methods Seventy-six patients with Ⅲ° atrioventricular block received pacemaker treatment were enrolled and randomized into group A (pQRSd < 190 ms, n = 52) and group B(pQRSd≥ 190 ms, n = 24). The concentration of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP),parameters of left atrial diameter (LAD), left ventricular ejection fracetion (LVEF), left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular end systolic dimension (LVEDD) were measured before operation, at 12 months and 24 months after implanting, respectively. The parameters of echocardiography assay, the concentration of BNP and the incidence of heart failure event after implantation were compared between two groups. Results At 12 months after implanting, LVEF of the patients in the group B decreased significantly compared with that of group A (P < 0.05). However, the echocardiography paramenters and the concentration of BNP were not significantly different between the two groups (P > 0.05). At 24 months after implanting, LAD、LVEDD、LVESD of group B increased significantly compared with those of group A [LAD,( 44.5 ± 6.2) mm vs (41.6 ± 5.1) mm, LVEDD, (52.7 ± 9.3) mm vs (48.2 ± 7.5) mm, LVESD, (37.5 ± 5.6) mm vs (33.8 ± 4.9)mm, each P < 0.05, respectively]. The concentration of BNP of group B increased significantly [(408.2 ± 102.1)ng / L vs (243.7 ± 92.8)ng / L, P < 0.001], and LVEF of the patients in group B decreased significantly compared with those of group A [(46.3 ± 6.8)% vs (51.6 ± 5.2)%, P < 0.001], respectively. No significant difference in the incidence of heart failure event (41.7% vs 26.9%, P > 0.05)between two groups during 24-month follow-up. Conclusion The prolonged paced QRS duration has a detrimental effect on long-term cardiac function during RVA pacing in patients with Ⅲ°atrioventricular block.

Objective To investigate antenatal sonographic findings of the fetal isolated callosal hypoplasia and partial agenesis. Methods A retrospective study was performed on the cases of hypoplasia and partial agenesis of the corpus callosum suspected at antenatal sonographic basic examination from 2006 to 2014, all the cases were confirmed by pathology or magnetic resonance imaging(MRI). For the surviving infants, clinical follow-up had been performed to assess the developmental outcome. Results Thirteen fetuses suspected with callosal underdevelopment were identified at a median gestational age of 31 (range, 18~39) weeks. Ten cases were confirmed by autopsy and MRI, including 9 with partial agenesis and 1 with hypoplasia. Among the 10 fetuses confirmed with isolated partial agenesis or with hypoplasia, incidence of the absent cavum septum pellucidum was 20%, the ‘Tear-drop’ lateral ventricles was 40%, the upward displacement of the third ventricle was 80%. Pregnancy was terminated electively in 8 of the cases with partial agenesis or with hypoplasia. Among the 2 surviving infants, apparent normal development was observed in only one case, but we lost the follow-up of this case at two-year-old. Six fetuses received the chromosome identification, almost all of them were normal. Conclusion The basic ultrasonic examination is feasible for the antenatal diagnosis of isolated callosal underdevelopment the. The indirect classical signs of callosal partial agenesis and hypoplasia are different with those of complete agenesis of the corpus callosum. The incidences of the‘Tear-drop’ lateral ventricles and the upward displacement of the third ventricle are higher than the absence of CSP. The chromosome of isolated callosal partial agenesis or hypoplasia is normal, however, the prognosis is uncertain.
