Tianjin Medical Journal 2014;(9):937-939
Objective To explore effects of different doses of rosuvastatin on serum soluble OX40 ligand (sOX40L), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods Sixty patients with ACS were evenly divided into 20 mg rosuvastatin treatment group (20 mg group) and 10 mg rosuvastatin treatment group (10 mg group). Twenty healthy volunteers were randomly assigned to control group. The serum levels of sOX40L and MMP-9 were measured and analyzed before and after treatment in three groups. Results The levels of sOX40L and MMP-9 before treat-ment were significantly higher in two treatment groups than those in control group (P<0.01). After two-week treatment with rosuvastatin, serum levels of sOX40L and MMP-9 decreased significantly in two treatment groups compared with those of pre-treatment (P<0.01). Moreover, the levels of sOX40L and MMP-9 were significantly lower in 20 mg group than those in 10 mg group after two-week treatment with rosuvastatin (P<0.05). But the levels of sOX40L and MMP-9 were still higher than control group (P<0.01). Conclusion Larger doses of rosuvastatin may decrease the degradation of extraceller matrix of coronary atherosclerotic plaque and inflammatory reaction, stabilize coronary atherosclerotic vulnerable plaque, and play an important role in improving prognosis in patients with ACS.
2.Roles of transient receptor potential canonical channels in tumors
Journal of International Oncology 2015;(7):522-524
Transient receptor potential(TRP)channels as an important non-selective cation channels family mainly permeate Ca2 + ,Na + and other cations. TRPC channel is a subtribe of TRP family which regu-lates the second messenger of Ca2 + concentration and variety of protease activity,and which can directly or in-directly affect the biological behavior of cells. Recently,more and more evidences have certificated the TRPC channels affect the tumorigenesis and development,such as regulation of proliferation,differentiation,migra-tion,apoptosis and resistance of chemotherapeutic agents during cancer progression.

Objective To test the accuracy of American College of Cardiology (ACC)/American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines for preoperative cardiovascular evaluation for noncardiac surgery in Chinese patients and to compare ACC/AHA guidelines with Goldman index and Lee index. Methods From January to December 2003, all patients aged ≥70 yr or patients aged 40-69 yr with a history of cardio- and cerebro-vascular disease, abnormal ECG or diabetes scheduled for noncardiovascular surgery were included in this study. A total of 1 248 patients were eligible. Their clinical data including demographic data, history of cardiovascular disease, routine physical examination and laboratory tests, the scheduled surgery and type of anesthesia were collected. The patients were then evaluated for cardiac risk and classified according to ACC/AHA guidelines (high, moderate, low and no risk), Lee index (class I -IV ) and Goldman index (class I - III ). The cardiac risk of the scheduled surgery was then stratified according to ACC/AHA guidelines. The patients were followed up until discharged from hospital. Cardiac events were defined as cardiac death, myocardial infarct, myocardial ischemia, minor myocardial cell injury, ventricular dysfunction and serious arrhythmia. Likelihood ratio of the 3 methods was calculated. Risk factors for adverse events were identified by univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis. Results Of the 1 248 patients 694 were male and 554 female. Their age ranged from 40-102 years (mean age 65.4 yr). 44.7 % of the patients were aged ≥ 70 years. High risk operation accounted for 6.3 % and emergency operation 7.9% . One patients died of cardiac event and ten patients of other causes. Seventy-three perioperative cardiac events occurred in 53 patients. The morbidity rate was 4.2% . Goldman index and ACC/AHA cardiac risk stratification were correlated with adverse cardiac outcomes ( P

Objective:To investigate the short-term efficacy of totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (TLDG) after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) versus direct TLDG for early gastric cancer.Methods:The propensity score matching and retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 623 patients with early gastric cancer who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from March 2014 to December 2019 were collected. There were 405 males and 218 females, aged from 26 to 86 years, with a median age of 62 years. Of 623 patients, 25 cases undergoing TLDG after ESD were divided into ESD+TLDG group and 598 cases undergoing TLDG directly were divided into TLDG group. Observation indicators: (1) the propensity score matching conditions and comparison of general data between the two groups after propensity score matching; (2) intraoperative and postoperative situations of TLDG; (3) stratification analysis of the ESD+TLDG group. The propensity score matching was conducted by 1∶2 matching using the nearest neighbor method. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean±SD, and comparison between groups was done using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M (range) and comparison between groups was done using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were represented as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Comparison of ordinal data between groups was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. Results:(1) The propensity score matching conditions and comparison of general data between the two groups after propensity score matching: 75 of 623 patients had successful matching, including 25 in the ESD+TLDG group and 50 in the TLDG group. Before propensity score matching, the body mass index (BMI), cases with tumor diameter ≤20 mm, 21 to 30 mm or>30 mm, cases with tumor classified as stage Ⅰ, stage Ⅱ or stage Ⅲ of clinical staging were (22.3±3.6)kg/m 2, 16, 6, 3, 24, 1, 0 of the ESD+TLDG group, respectively, versus (24.3±2.7)kg/m 2, 238, 125, 235, 312, 126, 160 of the TLDG group, showing significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups ( t=2.744, Z=?2.834, ?4.209, P<0.05). After propensity score matching, the BMI, cases with tumor diameter ≤20 mm, 21 to 30 mm or >30 mm, cases with tumor classified as stage Ⅰ or stage Ⅱ of clinical staging were (22.3±3.6)kg/m 2, 16, 6, 3, 24, 1 of the ESD+TLDG group, versus (23.6±2.9)kg/m 2, 29, 12, 9, 48, 2 of the TLDG group, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( t=1.542, Z=?0.597, 0.000, P>0.05). (2) Intraoperative and postoperative situations of TLDG: after propensity score matching, the operation time and time to postoperative drainage tube removal were 180 minutes(range, 124 to 289 minutes) and 6 days(range, 4 to 13 days) of the ESD+TLDG group,respectively,versus 170 minutes(range, 106 to 250 minutes) and 6 days (range, 4 to 9 days) of the TLDG group, showing significant differences between the two groups ( Z=-2.396, -3.039, P<0.05).
