OBJECTIVE:To observe the efficacy and safety of amiodarone combined with valsartan in the treatment of paroxys-mal atrial fibrillation in elderly patients. METHODS:130 elderly patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation were randomly divided into observation and control group. Control group was orally given Amiodarone tablet 0.6 g in the first week,3 times a day,0.4 g in the second week,twice a day,0.2 g in the third week,twice a day;observation group was additionally given valsartan capsule 0.4 g in the first 1-3 day(s),once a day,the dose was increased to 0.8 g if patients showed no hypotension,once a day,and then decreased to 0.4 g if the pressure was lower than 100/60 mm Hg,once a day. The treatment course for both groups was 12 weeks. Clinical efficacy,and left atrium(LA),left ventricular end-diastolic volume(LVEDV),left ventricular systolic volume(LVESV), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF),heart rate,cardiothoracic ratio,systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure before and after treatment,and incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups were observed. RESULTS:Total effective rate in observation group was significantly higher than control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). After treatment,LA, LVEDV and LVESV,heart rate,cardiothoracic ratio,systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure in 2 groups were significant-ly lower than before,and observation group was lower than control group,LVEF was significantly higher than before,and observa-tion group was higher than control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). There was no significant differ-ence in the incidence of adverse reactions(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The efficacy of amiodarone combined with valsartan is more obvious than only amiodarone in the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in elderly patients,with similar safety.

The tadpole extract without large molecular protein(T-871) was prepared from dry tadpoles. This extract and RPMI1640 medium were mixed in the ratio of 1:50(V/V) to form T-871 medium. HeLa cells were cultured in the T-871 medium in order to study the possible mechanism of HeLa cell differentiation induced by tadpole extract. We found that there was a decreased acitivity of LDH which may be released through HeLa cell membrane in the 2 day's cultured T-871 medium. After 3 day's culture in the T-871 medium we found that on the HeLa cell membranes, Na-K-ATPase activity reduced and the content of Con A receptors increased. When these cells were analyzed by flow cytometry(FACS-420), the results indicated that HeLa cells accumulated in G_2 and M phases of the cell cycle and the influence on DNA and RNA content of the HeLa cells was insignificant. HeLa cells cultured by RPMI 1640 medium or T-871 medium for 3 days were inoculated into the dorsal hypodermis of 12 nude mice, respectively. Then after 24 hours this extract was injected to each nude mouse at dose of 0.3 ml each day. Our study showed that T-871 could result in decrease of tumor formation such as delay of tumor nodule appearance and reduce of tumor weight. This study suggested that the changes of the cell membrane may be caused by the tadpole extract. It may also reduce malignancy of the HeLa cells.

Objective To investigate the sequences of the 3' end of genomes from enterovirus 71 isolated from pediatric patients with different symptoms in Beijing during 2008-2009.Methods Clinical specimens were collected from pediatric patients suffering from hand,foot and mouth disease(HFMD)and/or with neurological complications who visited the affiliated Children's Hospital during the epidemic seasons of 2008 and 2009 in Beijing.The samples were inoculated into the Vero cell line,and the virus isolates were further identified by nested reverse transcription-nested PCR(RT-nPCR)assay using universal enterovirus primers,type specific primers for EV71 and CA16.The 3' end of genomes(including 3D and 3' UTR regions)from 10 EV71 strains derived from various clinical presentations were amplified and sequenced.Results Analysis of the nucleotide sequences of the amplified fragments showed that the 3' end of genomes of 10 EV71 isolates include the 3D region of 1386 nucleotides(nt)encoding the 3D polymerase(3Dpol,462 amino acids),the terminator codon TGA and 3' UTR of 81 nt.Nucleotide sequence identities among 3D regions from these 10 EV71 isolates were in the range of 95.8%-99.6%,while the nucleotide sequence identities for 3' UTR were 96.3%-100%.The majority of nucleotide changes were located at the third codon positions which caused silent mutations,thus the amino acid sequence changes of 3Dpol among those 10 EV71isolates were scanty.The residues 140 and 263 which were R and 1 were substituted by K and V,respectively in 3 of 4 neurovirulent strains,whereas only 1 of 6 strains from mild cases had these 2 amino acid changes.The sequences of the 3D and 3' UTR regions of 10 EV71 isolates were compared to the representative strains of known genotypes from the GenBank.The nucleotide and amino acid sequences of 10 EV71 isolates in the 3D region exhibited highest homology to the subgenotype C4 of EV71(92.7%-94.2%and 96.8%-97.6%.respectively).However,3' UTR of 10 EV71 isolates shared the highest nucleotide identity with CA16/G10(88.9%-91.4%).The phylogenetic analysis based on the 3D regions demonstrated that 10 EV71 isolates had the closest genetic relationship with the representative isolate of CA sub-genotype of EV71 and shared more homology with CA16/G10 than other known genotypes of EV71.Conclusion Genetic analysis of the 3' end of genomes from 10 EV71 strains indicated that the 3' end of genome may play a role in the evolution of EV71.

Objective To develop a convenient reverse transcription PCR(RT-PCR)method for identifying genotypes of human metapneumovirus(hMPV)from clinical samples.Methods According to the gene sequences of hMPV G with different genotypes,the A and B genotype specific primers were designed.A diplex RT-PCR was applied to identify different genotypes according to the molecular weight of PCR products in agarose gel.37 clinical samples were detected through this method.Results It was convenient to distinguish different genotypes of hMPV(383 bp for A and 284 bp for B)by the diplex RTPCR,and there was no non-specific amplification for common respiratory viruses.so it meant that the specificity of primers was good.The results of genotyping 37 clinical samples showed that 20 samples were identified as genotype A by both sequence analysis of M gene and diplex RT-PCR,whereas 17 samples were identified as genotype B by sequence analysis of M gene.but in these 17 samples 14 samples were identified as genotype B by the diplex RT-PCR and remaining 3 samples could not be genotyped because there was no PCR product after amplification.The consistency rate for these two methods Was 91.9%[(20+14)/37].Conclusion The method of diplex RT-PCR Was developed successfully and can be used for identify genotypes of hMPV.
