Protective effects of acupuncture on myocardial ischemia in each stage have been confirmed increasingly, while there was no in-depth research in terms of histone modifications. Histone modification is an important part of epigenetics. It is also the focus of molecular biology and basic medical research. In this paper, the relationship of histone modifications and gene expression of heart was first explained. Then, the recent research progress of modified histones, which was the direct alteration of gene expression induced by histone modifications on the degree and prognosis of myocardial ischemic injury, was reviewed. This investigation introduced epigenetic regulation in the protection mechanism of myocardial ischemia by acupuncture. It provided new ideas and directions for the study of molecular mechanism of acupuncture efficacy.

Objective To study the apo-E gene polymorphisms and the lipoprotein level character of different gene expression in patients with cerebrovascular infarction(CI) and intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH).Methord With case-control study method,the apo-E gene expression,its allele frequency and the levels of serum lipids in patients with cerebrovascular infarction or with intracerebral hemorrhage and the control were compared.Result The CI group had a higher apo-E ?4 allele frequency(10%) than controls(4.6%)(P

Objective To observe the clinical features of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) in Chinese patients. Methods Nine cases (9 eyes) were examined with fundus examination, fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and indocyanine green angiography angiography (ICGA). Results FFA and ICGA showed the branching vascular networks (7 cases) and polyplike dilation at terminals of branches (9 cases), which mainly located in macular area (8 cases) and in peripapillary area (1 case), and which accompanied hemorrhagic or serous pigment epithelial detachment in 7 cases,and 4 of 7 cases had a significant horizontal black-white damarcation line. It definitely differed from fine choroidal neo-vascularization (CNV). Conclusion PCV in Chinese patients has the cardinal clinical features, i.e., polyplike lesions located mainly in macular area and most cases accompanied by hemorrhagic or serous pigment epithelium detachment.

Three cases of Pick's disease diagnosed by clinical observation, MRI, SPECT, PET and pathology were analysed. Compared with Alzheimer′s disease, Pick's disease consisted of the following features: ①The changes in personality, judgement, affection and emotion, Kl?ver Bucy syndrome, progressive non fluent aphasia,and the defect of semantic memory were prominent in the early stage, but the disturbance of cognition and visuospatial ability were relatively late. ②Marked cerebral atrophy in the temporal pole was showed in MRI. ③Hypoperfusion and hypometabolism could be found in the frontal and / or temporal cortexes on SPECT or PET scans. It is important to understand the salient features for early diagnosis of Pick's disease in clinic.

ObjectiveTo observe effect of estradiol on respiratory of ovariectomized rats.Methods30 adult female rats were randomly divided into ovariectomy group (group A), estradiol group (group B) and sham ovariectomy group (group C). Rats of group B were injected with 17-β estradiol (20μg/kg/d), that of group A and group C were injected only with normal saline (0.1ml/d). After 6 weeks, effect of estradiol on respiratory of ovariectomized rats was assessed with testing level of rats' serum estradiol and discharge frequency and integrated amplitude of phrenic nerve. ResultsThe level of serum estradiol of group A was significantly decreased compared with group B and group C (P<0.01). Discharge frequency and integrated amplitude of phrenic nerve of group A were decreased compared with group B and group C (P<0.05).ConclusionEstradiol can excite respiratory responses in ovariectomized rats.

Objective To find out a health behaviors about the community-dwelling older people with different risk of osteoporotic fractures,and to provide the interventions basis for high risk population.Methods By fracture risk assessment tool(FRAX).Stratified sampling method was used.Data were collected by face-to-face interviews with questionnaires in 450 people aged 60 years and over who come from the three communities.Results By the statistical test,the scores of behavior between high and low risk older people had statistical significance(P＜0.01 ).The scores of high risk of osteoporotic fractures behavior in older people were 30.59 ± 4.67,which rate was 56.6％.There were 86 people who scored 33 and over,pass rate was only 37.2％ ; The behavior scores of low risk of osteoporotic fractures older people were 32.01 ± 4.49,which rate was 59.3％.There were 102 people who scored 33 and over,pass rate was only 46.6％.The one way ANOVA found that theeducation level were main factors for low risk of osteoporotic fractures elderly people in prevention behavior.By the multiple liner stepwise regression,gender and monthly income were main factors for high risk of osteoporotic fractures elderly people in prevention behavior.Conclusion Focus on those older people who have the low-income,male group in high risk of osteoporotic fractures to improving health behavior intervention,which include those in low risk of osteoporotic fractures but have low level of education.

Objective To evaluate the application of health education in patients with cholecystectomy. Methods From October 2009 to July 2010, 93 patients in our hospital with cholecystectomy were randomly divided into the control group (45 cases) and the observation group(48 cases). The control group was given routine nursing care, the observation group received perioperative health education in addition to the routine nursing care, then compared the nursing effect of two groups. Results In the observation group, the patients' knowledge and awareness rate of their own disease was 95.8%, and the control group was 80.0%, the difference was statistically significant between two groups. The recovery of gastrointestinal function in the observation group was significantly better than the control group, the difference was statistically significant between two groups. Conclusions Health education can enable patients with cholecystectomy correct understanding of their disease, eliminate negative emotions, and help the recovery of gastrointestinal function in patients, which is worthy of attention.

Objective To enhance the level of the diagnosis and treatment of relapsing polychondritis(RP).Methods Clinical data of 17 patients of RP were studied retrospectively. Results Of the patients,ear was involved in 16 cases, nose in 10 cases, laryngotracheobronchial region in 9 cases, eyes in 8 cases, joints in 4 cases, cardiovascular system in 1 case.Of 17 cases-1 died from respiratory complications. Fifteen patients had recurrence over twice,1 patient had sixth recurrence. Conclusions RP is rare autoimmune system disease, early clinical manifestation are nontypical, misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis. Corticosteroids, immunosuppressive agents, dapsone and surgical operation are used in these patients to control symptoms.

Objective To investigate the white matter microstructural changes of cingulation and congni-tive function impairment in patient with major depression. Methods 25 middle-aged first episode patients and 24 nondepressed comparison participants were enrolled,and all the subjects scanned by diffusion tensor imaging and tested by Wisconsin Card Sorting Test. Correlation analysis was done respectively for both two groups with FA and WCST items. Results Male patients with depression decreased FA in the middle frontal lobe ( - 29 24 32,16 voxels),the left superior temporal lobe (-36 -34 16,11 voxels),the sub-gyral of temporal lobe ( -45 1 - 15/ - 47 - 6 - 9; 16/10 voxels) and the right lobe of cingulate (18 - 2 29,22 voxels). And the female patients with depression shows reduced FA in the inferior frontal lobe ( -42 23 4/45 24 6; 15/21 voxels) ,the left precentral gy-rus (39 -44 -15,17 voxels) ,the right medial frontal gyrus (6 16 -18; 10 voxels) ,the left superior temporal lobe ( -55 -31 15; 89 voxels) ,the sub-gyral of temporal lobe ( -38 - 12 - 19;12 voxels) and the right anterior cingulate gyrus (71 26 -9; 15 voxels) (P<0.001 ,cluster > 10 voxels). The Regions of interests analyze with cingulate only found reduced FA in the right lobe of female group(0.26 ±0.05,0.33 ±0.08; P=0.03). Correlation were found between the right anterior cingulate and Rpe (r= -0.49, P = 0. 03) ,the right middle cingulate and Rpe (r= -0.56, P = 0. 01) in depressed patients. No significant association were found in healthy control group(P> 0.05). Conclusion Cingulate white matter fiber is abnormal in first episode depression and these abnormalities may be one of the pathophysiology of major depression.
