Objective To investigate the hemodynamics of basilar artery and its blood-supply area in patients with vertigo by 3.0 T MR.Methods Fifty patients with vertigo were selected as case group and 50 healthy volunteers were selected as control group.All subjects in the case group and in control group were examined by brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),magnetic resonance angiography(MRA),fast cine phase contrast(Fast CINE PC) and flow-sensitive alternating inversion recovery sequence (FAIR).After image postprocessing,the velocity and the blood flow volume of basilar artery were measured and calculated.The FAIR value of bilateral occipital lobe,cerebellum,pons and medulla oblongata was measured.Statistical testing was performed.Results The average velocity,peak velocity and blood flow volume of the basilar artery in case group were significantly lower than those in the control group(the average velocity:(22.47 ±9.14) cm/s vs (31.41 ±5.97) cm/s,t =-5.79,P ＜ 0.0001 ; peak velocity:(31.60 ± 13.18) cm/s vs (44.00 ± 7.84) cm/s,t =-5.71,P ＜0.0001 ;blood flow volume:(91.14 ±43.92) ml/min vs (127.49 ± 28.33) ml/min,t =-4.92,P ＜0.0001).The perfusion of the posterior circulation in the case group was lower than that in the control group ((882.35 ±35.22) vs (906.34 ±36.82),t =-3.33,P =0.0012).The average velocity,peak velocity and blood flow volume of the basilar artery in case group whose brain parenchyma and blood vessels were normal were (26.31 ±5.16) cm/s,(36.33 ±6.60) cm/s,(95.38 ±28.16) ml/min respectively,which were all less than those in the control group (average velocity:t =-2.72,P =0.0086 ; peak velocity:t =-3.12,P =0.0027 ;blood flow volume:t =-3.53,P =0.0008).The perfusion of the basilar artery blood-supply area in case group whose brain parenchyma and blood vessels were normal was (904.00 ± 35.82),there was no difference when compared with the control group (906.00 ± 36.82,t =-0.20,P =0.8427).Conclusion Whether the brain parenchyma and blood vessels is normal or not,the velocity and blood flow volume of the basilar artery in patients with vertigo are decreased,but the perfusion of the basilar artery blood-supply area are different,it depends on whether there is ischemia.

Objective To investigate angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism in patients with hypertension in the elderly and it's relation with serum ACE level among Chinese population.Methods Polymorphism of ACE gene was categorized into three genotype:two deletion alleles (genotype DD),heterozygous alleles (genotype ID),and two insertion alleles (genotype II).Polymerase chain reaction(PCR) was used to examine ACE gene polymorphism.Compared the distribution of three ACE genotypes frequencies and D allele frequency in 56 patients with hypertension in the elderly and 40 healthy subjects,whose serum ACE levels were measured.Results The frequency of D allele was higher in the hypertension group (0.61) than in healthy subjects (0.46) (P<0.05).A significant difference in serum ACE level was observed between the hypertensives and healthy (31.0±11.1) U/L and (25.1±10.0) U/L respectively,P<0.05.The highest level of serum ACE activity was in genotype DD,and the lowest level in genotype II,and intermediate in genotype ID.A significant difference in serum ACE level was observed among the genotype DD and ID,and among the genotype DD and II.Conclusion ACE gene I/D polymorphism was associated with serum ACE level.D allele might be a genetic risk factor for hypertension in the elderly.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic efficacy of coronary heart disease intervention and effect on vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) and C-reactive protein(CRP) levels.Methods 127 cases with angina and myocardial infarct were done PCI(PTCA/PTCA percutaneous transcoronary angioplasty+stenting),the therapeutic efficacy was observed,and perioperative VEGF and CRP levels were determined.Results 146 brackets cases were placed in 127 cases,all brackets were successfully inserted into target vascular lesion sites;2 cases with two rami pathological changes given up PTCA because guide wire couldn't pass anterior descending branch narrow part;4 cases took place no re-flow phenomenon,operation achievement ratio was 95.3%.The levels of post-operative CRP increased 142.9%,but the levels of post-operative VEGF decreased 31.9%.Conclusion The therapeutic efficacy PCI on coronary heart disease is satisfactory monitoring CRP and VEGF in blood serum could be helpful to understand the therapeutic efficacy and inflammation degree.

Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin 9 (PCSK9) inhibitor is recently added to the list of effective lipid-lowering drugs in addition to statins, which can reduce low density lipoprotein cholesterol, treat increased low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) patients. In the past 30 years, the prevalence of dyslipidemia increased significantly. LDL-C characterized dyslipidemia is an important risk factor of ASCVD and a part of metabolic syndrome, which exists before or after or at the same time of the appearance of obesity, diabetes, and glucose intolerance, coronary heart disease and other diseases. Decreasing LDL-C level can significantly reduce the incidence and mortality risk of ASCVD. In this paper, the research on the regulation of dyslipidemia by PCSK9 inhibitors is discussed.

Objective To investigate the association between the insertion/deletion(I/D) polymorphism of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene and the myocardial infarction (MI) among Chinese population. Methods Polymerase chain reaction(PCR) was applied to the examination of ACE gene polymorphism. A comparison was performed between 50 patients with MI and another 50 healthy subjects.Results The frequencies of DD genotype (0.38) and D allele (0.58) were both higher among the MI group than that among the control group (0.16 and 0.41 respectively,P

Objective To study possible mechanisms of oxidative damages in rat lung type Ⅱ cells induced by cooking oil fume (COF). Methods The rat type Ⅱ lung cells were pretreated with anti_oxidant N_acetylcysteine (NAC) for 30 miuntes and were exposed to COF for 12 hours. The contents of MDA and GSH were detected with thiobarbituric acid colorimetric assay and 5,5_dithiobis 2_nitrobenzoic acid colorimetric assay. Results The significant increase of the contents of MDA and significant decrease of the contents of GSH were observed in the rat lung type Ⅱ cells with the increase of exposure doses of COF and the prolongation of exposure time of COF. The pretratment of NAC could reduce the production of MDA and increase the contents of GSH of the cells. Conclusion The possible mechanisms of oxidative damages in rat lung type Ⅱ cells induced by cooking oil rume might be formation of lipid peroxidation and interference of GSH anti_oxidative systems of the cells.
