Objective To observe the variation of cerebral brain flow (CBF)and pathological characteristics in peripheral brain tissue of nidus after operation of brain arterivenous malformations (BAVM) and explore the mechanism and theaputic strategy of normal perfusion pressure breakdown (NPPB)after microsurgery. Methods 12 cases of BAVM that have received surgical resection were analyzed prospectively, and 8 cases of them were embolized with Onyx. The pathological characteristics of the nidus and peripheral brain tissue was observed with microscope and electron microscope. The variation of CBF in peripheral brain tissue of the nidus following microsurgical resection was observed by using Laser Doppuler Perfusion Imaging (LDPI) system. The monitering result of CBF in little meniugioma(n=6) during surgery was used as the control. Results There was small vessel expantion, neuron necrosis, gliocyte hyperplasia and blood brain barriar (BBB) destruction in peripheral brain tissue of BAVM nidus, the visibal brain tissue edema and inflammatory cell infiltration in peripheral brain tissue of the nidus and the revascularization in the emolized nidus vessels were observed after embolization with Onyx. There was significant change of CBF between pre-and post-operation (P<0.05),and after controlling depressurization during surgery was the increasing CBF step down (P<0.05). Conclusion The BBB breakdown and increasing CBF of peripheral brain tissue of the nidus may be the pathological foundation of brain hemorrhage and edema after BAVM microsurgical resection. So embolization before the operation, controlling depressuriation during and after surgery is the important methods for preventing and curing the NPPB of BAVM after microsurgery.

Objective To assess the analytical performance of three sensitive cardiac troponin Ⅰ assays and compare the clinical application to provide help in choosing the detection method for clinical laboratory. Methods A total of 474 serum samples were collected from apparently healthy subjects and a total of 112 serum samples were collected from patients presenting with symptoms suggestive of acute myocardial infarction. The functional sensitivities of three assays from Abbott, Beckman-Coulter and Ortho were determined ( CV = 10% ). The reference ranges have been established. The analytic performance was compared according to the assessment mode described by Apple. The relationship was compared among the different assays. The preliminary clinical application value for different detection methods has been evaluated and validated with self-established reference ranges. Results The functional sensitivities ( CV = 10% ) of the cTnI assays for Abbott, Beckman-Coulter and Ortho were 0. 030, 0. 04 and 0. 013 μg/L, respectively.The 99th percentiles of cTnI in healthy volunteers were 0. 021, 0. 02 and 0. 026 μg/L respectively. The analytical data of ROC curve showed that the area under curve (AUC) of the cTnI assays for Abbott,Beckman-Coulter and Ortho for diagnosis of AMI was 0. 852,0. 909 and 0. 910,respectively. There was no statistical difference between any two methods(Z1 = 1.18 ,Z2 = 1.21 ,Z3 =0. 026,all P ＞0. 05). There were good consistency between the 99th percentile obtained from our laboratory and suggested by manufacturers (Kappa value were 1. 000, 0. 730 and 0. 893 respectively, all P ＜ 0. 01 ). Conclusions The analytical performance of two cTnl assays is "clinical accepted" ,the other one is accepted according to guideline. All of them could detect cTnI in apparently healthy subjects. There exist differences among three assays, but their diagnostic characteristics for AMI are not significantly different.

Objective To assess the analytical performance of hs-cTnT and biological variations in healthy population as well as establish hs-cTnT reference intervals. Methods The serum samples from 100 acute myocardial infraction patients and 474 apparently healthy subjects were collected. The functional sensitivity,within- and between-run imprecision were determined. The hs-cTnT assay and con-cTnT assay were evaluated. The serum hs-cTnT levels were detected in apparently healthy subjects to establish reference intervals. Moreover,the long-term and short-term biological variations for hs-cTnT in healthy volunteers were assessed. Results The functional sensitivity of hs-cTnT was 0. 005 μg/L. The within- and between-run precision for lower level control(0. 014 μg/L) and higher level control(2. 500 μg/L) was 2. 97% vs 3. 64%and 0. 66% vs 1.01% ,respectively. The correlation between hs-cTnT assay and con-cTnT assay was good ( R2 =0. 972 ,P ＜0. 01 ). The 99th percentile in apparently healthy subjects was 0. 003 μg/L for women less than60 years, 0.008 μg/L for men less than 60 years, 0.015 μg/L for women above 60 years and 0. 021 μg/L for men above 60 years. The CVa, CVi, CVg and CVt of short-term biological variations in detecting hs-cTnT from 22 apparently healthy subjects were 3.8%, 4. 8%, 49.9% and 58.5%,respectively. The CVa,CVi ,CVg and CVt of long-term biological variations were 5. 3% ,6. 4% ,56. 6% and 68. 3% respectively. Conclusions The analytical performance of the hs-cTnT is better than con-cTnT assay,achieving acceptable level according to guideline. Our experimental result could provide the basis for the new high sensitivity cTnT assay in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.

Objective To assess the differences in nutrient composition by chemical analysis method and weighing method,A corps of armed police forces daily dietary nutrient intakes were investigated in Tianjin,to understand the status of the actual intakes of dietary nutrient.Methods A dietary survey was performed using the weighing method and with ref-erence to China food composition database in 2002.The intake of each nutrient was calculated through chemical analysis;Nutritional analysis was used in the collection of duplicate food portions during the dietary survey.Results For most of the main dietary nutrients(protein,fat and carbohydrates),minerals (Na,K,Mg,Ca,Zn,Cu and Se)and vitamins (β-car-otene,vitamin E,thiamine,riboflavin,vitamin C,niacin,and vitamin A),the calculated values of intakes were found to exceed those obtained via chemical analysis.Conclusion Differences of the two methods of dietary survey were ultimately due to the analysed values were below the calculated ones.So it is necessary to improve methods of food storage and trans-portation in order to obtain adequate nutrition and to improve the health of troops.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application of multimodality treatment of brain arteriovenous malformation (BAVM) with Onyx embolization and microsurgery.Methods There were 48 patients with BAVM treated by combination of Onyx embolization and microsurgery.The clinical features,therapeutic process,complications and discharge status (by MRI,DSA and Glasgow outcome scale,GOS) were recorded in detail.The prognosis was estimated by modified Rankin scale (mRS) with 6-42 months' follow-up.Results The total resection rate was 97.9％.The therapy-related complications happened in 8 patients (16.7％).Among them,4 cases had dysfunction of central nervous system (8.3％),2 cases with intra-cerebral hemorrhage (4.2％),and 2 suffered from severe cerebral edema (4.2％).Good recovery was seen in 38 cases (79.2％) evaluated by GOS when discharged from hospital.The follow-up result mRS ＜ 3 was 97.9％.Conclusion Multimodality treatment of BAVM with Onyx embolization and microsurgery should be a good therapeutic strategy.

Objective To evaluate the influence of highly active antiretroviral therapy ( HAART) on bone mineral density ( BMD ) of human immunodeficiency virus ( HIV) infected patients and correlating clinical factors. Methods The clinical data from 2007 to 2008 were analyzed, including 50 patients treated with HAART (named treated group) ,12 HIV-infected antiretroviral-naive patients (named untreated group) and 20 healthy people (named control group).Lumbar, femoral neck, femur, femoral greater trochanter and whole body BMD were measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry.The data were respectively analyzed.Results There were 19 (38.0% ) patients with osteopenia and 1(2.0% ) patient with osteoporosis in the treated group.There were 6(50.0% ) patients with osteopenia and 2 (16.7% ) patient with osteoporosis in the untreated group.There were 5(25.0% ) patients with osteopenia, no one with osteoporosis in the control group.The prevalence of osteopenia/osteoporosis was statistically higher in the untreated group than that in the control group (P = 0.02).The BMD of femur, femoral neck and greater trochanter [(0.97±0.14) , (0.91 ±0.13 ) , (0.76 ±0.12) g/cm2] in the HIV-infected group (including the treated and untreated group) were significantly lower than that in the control group [(1.04±.12) , (0.98±.14) , (0.84±0.11) g/cm2 ,P <0.05].There were no significantly differences in the BMD between the untreated group and the treated group.In the treated group, osteopenia/osteoporosis correlated with body weight less than 60 kg (r=0.074,P =0.004) and the viral load before HAART(r=5.103,P =0.021).Conclusions The prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis in antiretroviral-naive HIV-infected patients is higher.The BMD of HIV-infected patients are reduced compared with the healthy people.The BMD is similar among HIVinfected patients irrespective of antiretroviral treatment Body weight less than 60 kg and the viral load before HAART are the risk factors of osteopenia/osteoporosis for the HIV-infected antiretroviral patients.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application of hs-cTnT in diagnosis of AMI. Methods The detectable rates of hs-cTnT and con-cTnT from 147 AMI ( including 122 NSTEMI )patients on immediate admission were compared. The related biological markers including hs-cTnT, con-cTnT, CKMB mass and MYO were determined for all samples from 481 patients with chest pain on immediate admission and 4 h, 12 h ,20 h and 28 h after admission. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of all markers. The change rates of hs-cTnT within 4 hours from AMI group, non-AMI heart disease group, AMI related high risk disease group and control group were compared with serial detection. Results The detection rates of hs-cTnT for AMI and NSTEMI patients were 90. 3% and 91.0%, and both were significantly higher than the rates of con-cTnT, which were 61.9% and 60. 6% (x2 =23.08,18. 64,all P＜0. 01 ). Among different makers obtained from different collecting times,hs-cTnT had the highest detection rate. For admission cases, the area under curve of hs-cTnT, con-cTnT,CKMB mass and MYO were 0.935, 0.851, 0.827 and 0.769 respectively, and the differences have statistical significance(Z1 = 3. 13, Z2 = 4. 46, Z3 = 5.62, all P ＜ 0. 05 ). Besides, there was a significant difference between the change rate of hs-cTnT of AMI and other groups (x2=166.09,P＜0. 01).Conclusions In comparison with con-cTnT, hs-cTnT could provide reliable results for earlier diagnosis of AMI, and could also reduce misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis of NSTEMI. Combining single test of hs-cTnT with serial tests was superior to using cut-off value alone in diagnosis. Moreover, it could be helpful to distinguish non-AMI patients from true AMI patients due to the improved detection sensitivity. Because of its good diagnostic performance, hs-cTnT test may limit the application value of some other "early markers".
