Aim To determine the effects of sodium tashinoneⅡA sulfonate(TSN) on monophasic action potential(MAP) and tachycardia-induced electrical remodeling of rabbit atria in vivo.Methods Twenty-four rabbits were equally divided into two groups randomly: control group and TSN group.Electrical catheters were localized in the right atrium through right internal jugular vein.Right atrial MAP was recorded by multiple channel recording. ERP of right atrial(AERP) was assessed by programmed electrical stimulation before pacing and from 0~8 hours after the onset of the pacing.Results The AERP_(200 ms) of control group was shortened from (105.9?3.8) ms to(114.7?7.2) ms and the rate-dependent of control group's atrium was lost through the pacing process compared with TSN group before pacing(P

Objective To determine the prevalence of VTE in wegener's granulomatosis(WG)and its relation with disease activity as well as the risk factors.Methods Patients diagnosed with WG between 2000 and 2008 were included.Retrospective,systematic analysis and comparison were made between the characteristics of patients in the venous thromboembolism(VTE)group and non-VTE group.Results Seyenty-onepatients with WG were included.Seven VTEs(2 pulmonary emboli.5 deep venous thromboses)occurred in association with WG,all occurred during active phase of the disease.The prevalence of VTE was 9.8%.According to univariate analysis,male sex,nephritic range proteinuria(24 h)≥3.0 g and elevated serum creatinine were significantly associated with VTE.There were no significant differences in classic risk factors between patients with and without WG-associated VTE.Conclusion Patients with WG have an increased risk of developing VTEs.especially when WG is active.Male sex,nephritic range proteinuria(24 h)≥3.0 g and elevated sernm creatinine are risk factors.Clinicians taking care of patients with WG should be highly aware of the risks for VTE and maintain a low threshold for evaluating patients for possible deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism.

Objective To study the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of Baihuadan Analgesic Spray, so as to provide theoretical basis for further development of new drugs. Methods Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in the inflammatory tissues of mice with xylene-induced auricular inflammation and in the rats with albumen-induced pedal swelling were measured for the observation of anti-inflammation action of Baihuadan Analgesic Spray. The pain threshold in mouse hot-plate test and mouse acetic acid writhing test was determined to observe the analgesic effect of Baihuadan Analgesic Spray. Results Middle dose of Baihuadan Analgesic Spray (1 mg/mL) significantly reduced the auricular swelling rate induced by xylene in mice, improved the pain threshold of mice and prolonged pain latency in hot plate test (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). High dose of Baihuadan Analgesic Spray (2 mg/mL) reduced the content of PGE2 in pedal inflammatory tissues (P < 0.05), and the effect on reducing the times of mouse writhing was obviously superior to that of the Voltaren Gel group. Conclusion Baihuadan Analgesic Spray has obvious anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the mid-term clinical effect of nano-hydroxyapatite and polyamide 66 (n-HA/PA66) intervertebral fusion cage in treatment of thoracolumbar burst fractures.Methods A total of 87 patients with thoracolumbar burst fractures were managed by thoracolumbar body resection combined with n-HA/PA66 intervertebral fusion cage from December 2007 to September 2008.The clinical effect, safety and radiographic outcomes were evaluated.Results No nerve damage was deteriorated in all the patients.The neural function was improved for 1-2 grade except for four patients at Frankel grade A.The patients were followed up for mean 21.3 months (17-24 months).The kyphosis was (14.4 ± 12.6)° preoperatively, (3.7 ± 8.7) ° immediately after surgery and (4.0 ± 8.3)° at final follow-up.The distance between the upper and lower vertebral bodies was (96.9 ± 17.2) mm preoperatively, (109.5 ± 17.1) mm immediately after surgery and (108.3 ± 16.4) mm at final follow-up.No cage replacement, internal fixation breakage or neurologic impairment were observed during follow-up period.There were 58 patients with grade E fusion, 22 with grade D fusion and 7 with grade C fusion.ConclusionsAnterior decompression combined with n-HA/PA66 intervertebral fusion cage is an effective method for treatment of thoracolumbar burst fracture.The kyphosis is rectified and the intervertebral distance is corrected, with a high rate of fusion.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of 100 cases with Wegener's granulomatosis (WG). Methods One hundred patients with WG admitted to our center in recent 11 years were retrospectively analyzed. Results The ratio of male to female was 1.04:1. The average age was (39±17) years (ranging from 4 to 72 years). The upper respiratory tract (86%), lung (82%), kidney (70%) and ocular (53%) were the major affected organs, followed by neurological system ( 12% ) and cardiovascular system ( 11% ). cANCA was positive in 77% of patients, while ANCA was negative in 8%. Images mostly showed multiple nodules/mass with/without cavity in lung (59%) and sinusitis (57%). The pathologic features were necrotic granulomatosis and/or microvasculitis,which was 78% in nasal mucosa/mass biopsy and 75% in lung.Focal segmental necrotic glomerulonephritis ( 59% ) was an important feature for confirming the diagnosis. Of the WG groups, 49% of patients were in generalized subgroup followed by localized (22%), early systemic ( 15% ), severe renal (9%) and refractory group (5%). The patients were treated with corticosteroid and cyclophosphamide. The remission rate in the induction phase was 78%, while the mortality rate was 4%. The follow-up duration ranged from 1 to 145 months. Complications included infection (22%), chronic renal failure( 12% ), deep venous thrombosis( 11% ). Five patients died(8% ), in which 2 patients died of infection.Conclusion The clinical manifestations of Wegener's granulomatosis are complicate. ANCA testing, images of sinus and lung and histological biopsy have played important roles in early diagnosis, which is significant to initiate appropriate and prompt treatment in order to reduce complications and improve prognosis.

The key technology of the device for the viviperception of the animal mesenteric microcirculation is to simulate the celiac environment in the device. The technical requirements of the device for microcirculation viviperception are that the observation box should be able to "keep warm, preserve moisture, continually perfuse, and fix the sample"; and the lighting should be "intense", "convergence", and "cool". After actual application, it was found that the newly designed and developed the device by research personnel of Wannan Medical College for the viviperception of the animal mesenteric microcirculation can meet the technical requirements, which is able to "keep warm, preserve moisture, continually perfuse, and fix the sample", and using LED lamp as the microscope light source is "intense", "convergence", and "cool". This device is ingenious and reasonable in design, stable in technology, convenient in operation, and competent in microcirculation viviperception. It solves the technical problem to simulate the celiac environment for mesenteric microcirculation viviperception. The device provides convenience to observe and study the microcirculation, which is worth to be applicated widely.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of dyslipidemia and the relationship between breakfast frequency and dyslipidemia in residents over 40 years old in Yiling area of Yichang City in Hubei Province. Methods A random sampling was conducted, and 10 420 inhabitants were investigated during 2011 to 2012. Results The morbidity of dyslipidemia was 64. 0%. It was significantly higher in female than in male (65. 9% vs 60. 6%). Compared with regular breakfast eaters, non-breakfast eaters had significantly higher morbidity of higher blood low density lipoprotein-cholesterol(LDL-C) and hypertriglyceridemia(P<0. 05). The risk of elevated serum LDL-C was higher in the non-breakfast eaters group(OR=2. 382, 95%CI 1. 300-4. 367, P=0. 019) after adjusted by age, sex, smoking, drinking, etc. Conclusions Compared with regular breakfast eaters, breakfast skippers had significantly higher morbidity of dyslipidemia. Eating breakfast on daily basis may have a significant protective effect on preventing dyslipidemia.
