Objective To explore the relationship between left atrial diameters (LAD) and prothrombotic state in senile patients with hypertension (HT) and atrial fibrillation (AF). Mcthods Totally 105 patients with cssential hypertension were divided into 65 patients with atrial fibrillation and 40 cases without atrial fibrillation,and then patients with atrial fibrillation were subgrouped into paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation groups.30 healthy people without hypertension and atrial fibrillation were used as control group.LAD was determined by M type ultrasound cardiogram.Fibrinogen (Fg),D-Dimer(D-Dimer),von willebrand (vwF) and haematocrit (HCT) were also measured as prothrombotic state and compared among the groups. Results In groups of HT with AF versus HT without AF versus control,LAD[(43.56 ± 6.72) mm vs.(36.28 ± 5.83) mm vs.(31.63±4.32)mm],Fg[(4.24±0.59)g/L vs.(3.09 ±0.49)g/L vs.(2.80± 0.46)g/L],D-Dimer [(0.43±0.13)mg/L vs.(0.28±0.]0)mg/L vs.(0.18±0.08)mg/L],vwF[(290.44±29.02)％ vs.(101.32±21.36)％ vs.(84.15±20.26) ％],HCT[(0.46±±0.07)vs.(0.37±0.05)vs.(0.34±0.03)]were significantly higher in HT patients with atrial fibrillation than those without atrial fibrillation and control ( all P＜ 0.05),and there were differences in LAD and D-Dimet (P＜＜0.05),but not in Fg,vwF and HCT (all P＞0.05) between patients without atrial fibrillation and control.LAD[(46.75±7.32)mm vs.(40.82±6.21)mm],Fg [(4.68±0.65)g/L vs.(3.85±0.53)g/L],D-Dimer [(0.48±0.16)mg/L vs.(0.40±0.12)mg/L],vwF [(384.96±29.75)％ vs.(209.43±28.63)％] and HCT [(0.49±0.08)vs.(0.43±0.06)] in persistent atrial fibrillation group were increased than those in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation group ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Fg ( r =0.683 ),D-Dimer ( r =0.735 ),vwF ( r=0.763) and HCT(r=0.759)were corrclated with LAD (all P＜0.01). Conclusions Increased LADmight he one of the elevated risks of atrial fibrillation and a higher prothrombotic state is increasing with larger LAD in senile hypertension.

Objective To investigate effect of first, second, and third trimester placental factors (PF) on CD4, CCR5, and CXCR4 expression in human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs), and to explore their influence on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) vertical transmission.Methods Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were treated with first, second,and third trimester PF (concentration 25%) respectively for 24 hours. The expression of CD4, CCR5,and CXCR4 in PBLs, and the percentages of CCR5+, CXCR4+,and CCR5+CXCR4+ cells in peripheral blood CD4+ lymphocytes were determined with flow cytometry.Results All trimester PFs reduced CCR5 expression in PBLs. The efficiency of the first trimester PF was higher than that of the second and third trimester PF. The percentage of CCR5+ cells in peripheral blood CD4+ lymphocytes of PF groups was significantly lower than that of the control group, and the percentage of CCR5+ cells in peripheral blood CD4+ lymphocytes of the first trimester PF group was significantly lower than that of the second and third trimester group. The percentages of CCR5+CXCR4+ cells in peripheral blood CD4+ lymphocytes of PF groups were significantly decreased as compared with the control group, and the percentage of CCR5+CXCR4+ cells in peripheral blood CD4+ lymphocytes of the first trimester PF group was significantly lower than that of the third trimester PF group.Conclusion PF can reduce the expression of CCR5 in human PBLs and peripheral blood CD4+ lymphocytes, indicating that PF might reduce R5 virus infection via preventing HIV entry, and might play an important role in reducing R5 virus intrauterine infection.

Objective To find the microorganisms which hydrolyze sugar residues of steroidal saponins at C-3 position and to obtain their glucosyl-derivatives.Methods The enzymes secreted by fermentation of Curvularia lunata((3.438 1)) in the culture medium were employed to transform polyphyllin Ⅴ(compound Ⅰ) and polyphyllin Ⅵ(compound Ⅱ).The products were separated by means of chromatography on C_(18) column and their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral analyses.Results Compounds Ⅰ and Ⅱ could be transformed by C.lunata((3.438 1)) and the main products were identified as diosgenin-3-O-?-D-glucopyranoside,named trillin(compound Ⅲ) and pennogenin-3-O-?-D-glucopyranoside(compound Ⅳ),respectively.Conclusion The terminal rhamnosyls of polyphyllin Ⅴ and polyphyllin Ⅵ at C-3 position could be hydrolyzed selectively by C.lunata((3.438 1)) for the first time.

Objective To explore the indications, superiority and surgical technique of periareolar approach in the management of benign breast diseases. Methods 132 patients with benign breast disease (91 cases of Fibroadenoma, 12 cases of limited gland hyperplasia, 8 cases of cyst, 2 cases of benign phyllodes tumor and 6 cases of male gynecomastia) underwent operation through areolar incision. Results All patients were followed up for 1-10 months. 107 cases were satisfied with their treatment,19 cases were not quite satisfied with the relatively long incision, and 6 cases were not satisfied with the front incision. The one-month-later reexamination showed that 117 cases feel good and 15 cases had partial numbness of the nipple (15/132, 11.36%). All but two patients wound healing delayed because of local hematoma (2/132, 1.52%). Neither necrosis nor infection was found. Conclusions With the advantages of fewer complications and cosmetic effect, periareolar approach can be applied in management of various benign breast diseases. Factors such as indications, anatomical layer, postoperative molding, appropriate drainage, pressure dressing should be taken into consideration for the success of operation.

Objective:To observe the effects of Deoxyschisandrin on hemorrheology and coagulation function in ulcerative colitis (UC)mice.Methods:Trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS)induced UC mice model was prepared.And then UC mice were randomly divided into model group,positive control group,high,medium,and low dose groups of deoxyschisandrin (80,40,20mg/kg),and in addition,a normal control group was set up.There were 10 mice in each group respectively.UC mice were intragastricly administrated with different concentration of deoxyschisandrin in medication group,or with equal volume distilled water in normal group or model group,respectively.The blood viscosity was determined by blood rheometer,and the bleeding time (BT)and the clotting time (CT)were also observed through the methods of tail cutting and blood coagulation in glass plates accordingly.Results:Compared with model group,the BT (P ＜ 0.01)and CT (P ＜ 0.05)were significantly prolonged,and the blood viscosity was decreased obviously (P ＜ 0.05) in UC mice after administrated with different concentration deoxyschisandfin for 14 days.And the effects in high dose group were strongest and similar to those in the positive group.Conclusions:Deoxyschisandrin can improve hemorrheology and coagulation function in UC mice.

Objective To investigate the optimal time and molecular mechanism of gene therapy for promoting distraction osteogenesis by observing the effect of gene transfecting at different time on expression of cyclins in mandibular distraction area.Methods Forty eight New-Zealand rabbits were employed.After accomplishing bilateral mandibular distraction osteogenesis model,the rabbits were randomly divided into the group A,B,C and D.The group A,B and C were transfected by recombinant plasmids pIRES-hBMP2-hVEGF165 2 μg(0.1 μg/μL)at the distraction area instantly after operation,on postoperative 4,14 d and given local electroporation stimulation.The four groups entered the consolidation stage after 10 d continuous traction at a rate of 1 mm/d on postoperative 4 d.Three rabbits in each group were respectively sacrificed on 7,14,28,56 d of the consolidation stage.The expression of cyclin A,D1,and E of fresh bone tissue in distraction area were detected by immunohistochemical staining.Results Cyclin A,D1,and E were strongly expressed in the traction gap on 7,14 d of consolidation stage found,which was strongest on 7 d,moreover the group A,B and C were stronger than the group D.The expression in each group was weakened on 28,56 d.The expression on 7 d in the group B was stronger than that in the4 group A,C and D(P<0.05),the expression had no statistical difference between the group A and C(P>0.05),but all were stronger than the group D(P<0.05);the expression in the group B and C on 14 d was stronger than that in the group A and D,but the expression had no statistical difference between the group B and C and between the group A and D(P>0.05).Conclusion The high expression of cyclin A,D1 and E can promote the cellular division,proliferation and differentiation in distraction area,thus accelerates the new bone formation in the distraction area,prompting that the distraction period is the best time for distraction osteogenesis under gene therapeutic intervention.
