Objective: To access the risk for smoking on morbidity of acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) at different gender and age population. Methods: A case-control study was conducted in 2026 STEMI patients and 2026 control subjects with matched gender and age (±2 years) in our hospital from 2010-01-14 to 2016-02-27. The relationship between smoking and STEMI morbidity was analyzed. Results: Smoking was an important risk factor for STEMI morbidity in male gender and it was negatively related to age, as STEMI in young male smokers (≤45 years): adjusted OR=7.000, 95% CI 4.235-11.570; in middle age male smokers (46-59 years):adjusted OR=5.296, 95% CI 3.904-7.185 and in elder male smokers (≥60 years): adjusted OR=4.686, 95% CI 2.860-4.751. Conclusion: Smoking is a major risk factor for STEMI morbidity, while it is different from age and gender; the young male smokers have the highest risk to suffer from STEMI.

ObjectiveStromal cell-derived factor -1 (SDF-1 ) is closely related to the biological characteristics of breast cancer. We aimed to explore whether estrogen affected breast cancer by SDF-1. MethodsThe breast cancer cell line MCF-7 and MRC5 were chosen, and divided into three groups: the control group, the estrogen group and the estrogen + estrogen receptor blocker group. Each group was cultured with different physiological concentrations of 17-β estrogen at certain time, and the same alcohol concentration of 17-β estradiol at different time points, and then the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure the concentration of SDF-1 in culture medium, and the semi-quantitative reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction (RT -PCR) was used to detect the expression of SDF-1 mRNA in each group.ResultsSDF-1 can be detected in the culture medium of both MCF-7 and MRC5 cell lines. All different concentrations of 17-β estradiol may increase the secretion of SDF-1 in MCF-7 cells. When adding 17-β estradiol to the concentration of 107mol/L, the secretion of SDF-1 reached the peak in 2 hours, which was 6 times and 2.7 times that of control group ( P < 0.01 ). The effect could be ehminated by pure estrogen receptor ICI182,780. In addition, the mRNA expression of SDF-1 was consistent with the SDF-1 protein levels-l07 mol/L group. The expression of SDF-1 mRNA was higher than both that of the control group and the blocking group in 2 hours (P < 0.05 ). ConclusionsIn some breast cancer cell lines, physiological concentrations of estrogen can increase the secretion of SDF- 1, and this effect is mainly achieved through the estrogen receptor. Estrogen can influence the biological characteristics of breast cancer by SDF-1.

Bacterial biodiversities of microbial mat and sediments, which were sampled from thermal springs of Tengchong Rehai in Yunnan, were preliminarily studied with PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE). Directly extracted total DNA from environmental samples amplified by PCR with two sets of bacteria-specific primers. The PCR products, which include the V 8 and V 9 high-variable regions respectively, were analyzed by using DGGE. The DGGE profiles not only indicated the existence of higher levels of bacterial diversity, but also showed that the microbial mat and sediments have different dominant bacteria. Furthermore, the bacterial PCR-DGGE displayed clear profiles of bacterial structure selected by the key abiotic factors of the extreme environments, such as temperature and concentration of oxygen.

To explore the influences of pregnancy and iodine intake on thyroid function and immune functions, 210 pregnant women and 290 fertile women were chosen from iodine excess area, and the average ages of them were (27. 69±4. 73 )and (30. 62±6. 01 )years respectively. Fasting blood and urine were collected in the morning. The urinary iodine level was determined by arsenic-cerium catalytic contact. Serum free triiodothyronine ( FT3 ), free thyroxine ( FT4 ), and sensitive thyroid-stimulating hormone ( sTSH ) levels were measured by chemiluminescence.Thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb)and thyroglobulin antibody (TGAb)were measured by radioimmunoassay. The median urinary iodine in the pregnant and fertile women were I 240. 70 and 949. 21 μg/L, respectively. There were 84. 3% pregnant women and 81.0% fertile women admitting excess iodine intake. The prevalence of overall thyroid diseases was 22. 9% in the pregnant women and 30. 3% in the fertile women. The prevalence of hyperthyroidism,subclinical hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and subclinical hypothyroidism was0. 5%, 1.9%, 0. 5%, and 20. 0% in the former group, and 2. 8%, 0. 3%, 0. 3%, and 26. 9% in the latter. Both FT3 and FT4 levels of the pregnant women were lower than those of fertile women [(4. 03±0. 59 vs 4. 71 ± 1.04)pmol/L, ( 13. 35 ± 1.59 vs 14. 27 ±3.63 )pmol/L,both P<0. 01], and the positive rate of TGAb of pregnant women was also lower than that of fertile women (7. 1% vs14. 1%, P=0. 014). The prevalence of thyroid diseases and positive rate of thyroid autoantibodies is high in women with excess iodine intake. Compared with fertile women, pregnancy may lead to decreas~s in level of thyroid hormones and positive rate of TGAb. Their iodine intake should be controlled, and the thyroid function and autoimmunity antibodies should be monitored.

Objective To observe the influence of coal burning fluorosis on learning and memory ability in rats and reveal its possible mechanisms. Methods Healthy 48 SD rats were divided into control, low-fluoride and high-fluoride group. All rats in fluoride exposed groups were fed with the eom polluted by drying processes with burning coal containing high level of fluoride obtained from the endemic fluorosis area to produce the animal model of fluorosis. The experiment period were 3,6 mouths, respectively. The ability of leaning and memory was measured by Morris test and cholinesterase activity detected by photometric method at 3 or 6 month after experiment, respectively. Results Fluoride contents signifieantlly influenced the escape latency, the numbers of crossing the platforms and the time of staying the platforms(the value of F was 29.29,6.47,6.50, respectively, P<0.01).In addition, the numbers of crossing the platforms and the time of staying the platforms were influenced by the exposed time(the value of F was 16.11,45.59, P<0.01). Furthermore, the fluoride contents and the exposed time had an interaction between the numbers of crossing the platforms and the time of staying the platforms (the value of F was 4.67,5.68, P<0.05 or<0.01). Three months after the experiment, the mean values of escape latency [(14.71± 4.85)s] of rats in highly fluoride exposed group were significantly prolonged as compared with controls [(9.28±4.22)s]; 6 month after the experiment, the mean values of escape latency[(12.42±8.03)s, (17.48± 8.05)s] of rats in both groups exposed to fluoride were significantly prolonged as compared to controls [(7.04± 3.29)s, P<0.05]. The decreased numbers of crossing the platforms[(1.62±0.87)number] and the declined time of staying the platforms[(16.70±5.02)s] were found in the rats exposed to high fluoride as compared to controls [(3.53±1.67 )number, (23.33±5.35)s, P<0.05]. The fluoride contents obviously influenced the activities of acetylcholinesterase and butylcolinesterase (the value of F was 12.83,13.27, P<0.01). On the other hand, the times of breeding also influnced the activities of butylcolinesterase (the value of F was 16.26, P<0.01). In 3 months of the experiment, the activities of butylcolinesterase [(0.55±0.12)kU/g] in low fluoride exposed group were significantly decreased in comparison with controls[(0.73±0.10)kU/g, P<0.05]. The activities of acetylcholinesterase[(0.62±0.42)kU/g] and butylcolioesterase[(0.58±0.10)kU/g] in high fluoride group were significantly decreased as compared to eontrois[(1.41±0.52), (0.73±0.10)kU/g, P<0.05]. The correlation analysis showed that there was a negative correlation between the cholinesterase and the escape latency(r=-0.68, P< 0.01), and a positive correlation between the cholinesterase and the time of staying the platforms(r=0.57, P< 0.01). Conclusions The ability of learning and memory in rats with coal buring fluorosis was decreased, which might be connected to the decreased activity of cholinesterase in a dose-effect correlation.

Objective To investigate the influence of hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) on blood pressure (BP) and the incidence of rebleeding in patients with hypertensive intracranial hemorrhage (HICH)Methods One hundred and twenty patients with HICH were treated for 60 min with 100% oxygen at 2.0 absolute atmospheres (ATA) daily when the condition was stable and BP was controlled ideally. Blood pressure was measured before the patients were sent into the HBO chamber and remeasured following completion of each HBOT session and 1 hour later. Rebleeding was monitored during and after each HBO session . Results HBOT caused a significant elevation of systolic BP in 25.83% (31/120) patients and a significant decrease in 16.67% (20/120) patients (P <0. 05 ),whereas the rest 57.5% (69/120) patients had no significant changes,when the BP was measured right after the HBOT session. The mean diastolic BP increased in 69 (57. 50% ) patients and decreased in 4. 17%(5/120) patients (P < 0. 05 ), whereas we found no significant changes in the rest 46 (38. 33% ) patients. No differences were found in the comparison of BP before and 1 hour after the HBOT session and no one suffered from rebleeding during and after HBOT session. Conclusions HBOT may cause temporal blood pressure changes in most patients with HICH, however, it will not cause an increasing incidence of rebleeding if the patient's condition is stable and the blood pressure has been well controlled.

Objective To investigate the association of the rs 2118181 polymorphism of FBN-1 gene ( encoding Fibrillin-1 ) and the risk of acute aortic syndrome ( AAS ) in Chinese Han population. Methods Genomic DNA was extracted from the blood of 206 patients suffering AAS and 209 individual-matched controls.The dideoxy chain termination method was used to determine the genotypes of rs 2118181 single nucleotide polymorphisms .Results The TT frequency of rs 2118181 genotype was significantly higher in the patients with AAS , especially with Intramural Haematoma ( IMH ) than in the controls ( 62.1%, 70.4% vs.52.5%, P<0.05).Carriers of CT or CC genotype had a less risk for AAS , especially for IMH, compared with carriers of TT genotype.The odds ratio were 0.66 (95%CI:0.45-0.98, P=0.040) and 0.46 (95%CI:0.24-0.87, P=0.016) respectively.After adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, hypertension , body mass index , smoking , diabetes mellitus , the odds ratio for AAS was 0.66 ( 95% CI:0.44-0.99 , P=0.048 ) .However , there was no significant difference on the frequencies of rs 2118181 genotype between the two subgroups of classical aortic dissection and intramural haematoma . Conclusions The rs2118181 polymorphism of FBN-1 gene is correlated to the sporadic AAS , especially to IMH, in Chinese Han population .The carriers of TT genotype are vulnerable to AAS , especially to IMH , compared with the non-carriers.
