Objective To evaluate the clinical and stenting relating risk factors on the in-stent restenosis. Methods One hundred and thirty seven patients whose data were available were enrolled in this study, and the patients were divided into the groups of in-stent restenosis and non in-stent restenosis according to the results of coronary angiograms. Then the clinical and stent relating factors affecting in-stent restenosis were analyzed. Results There were no statistical differences in age and prevalence of smoking, drinking, hypertension and diabetes mellitus between two groups. Narrowing of target coronary vessels before the procedures in the group of in-stent restenosis was more severe than that in the group of non in-stent restenosis ( vs , P=0.033). The average diameter of stents used in the group of in-stent restenosis was obviously smaller than that used in the group of non in-stent restenosis ([3.19?3.90]mm vs mm, P=0.005), the average length of stents, however, used in the group of in-stent restenosis was apparently longer than that used in the group of non in-stent restenosis ([21.91?8.98]mm vs [18.20?6.07]mm, P=0.011). The total duration of stent inflation in the group of in-stent restenosis was obviously shorter than that in the group of non in-stent restenosis ([22.74?19.56]s vs [29.12?25.72]s, P=0.026). There was no statistial difference between the two groups in the inflation times and pressure of stents implantation. Conclusion The results suggested that the rate of in-stent restenosis was not significantly influenced with age, smoking, drinking, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and inflation times and pressure of stent implantation, but the narrowing of target vessels before procedures and the lengths of the stents were positively related to in-stent restenosis, while stent diameters and total inflation durations of stent were negatively related to in-stent restenosis.

BACKGROUND:Al oying is a convenient and effective method to alter the microstructure and control the corrosion behavior of magnesium al oy.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the in vitro and in vivo degradation of Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr al oy as a degradable medical biomaterial.
METHODS:(1) In vitro static immersion test:The immersion tests were carried out at (37.0±0.5) thermostatic bath. Six Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr al oy samples and six pure magnesium samples were immersed in the 250 mL simulated body fluid and vibrated without agitation during immersion. After 3, 7 and 30 days static immersion, the samples were taken out from the simulated body fluid. Then the in vitro corrosion properties were evaluated using scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive spectrometer analysis. (2) In vivo animal experiment:After bone tunnel was established in the left femur of adult New Zealand rabbits, the Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr al oy rods were embedded in the Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr al oy group, titanium al oy rods were embedded in the titanium al oy group, and only bone tunnel was established in the sham-operated group. At 1, 2, 4, 8 weeks after implantation, an X-ray of the implanted region was taken to determine the location and the degradation behavior℃in a of Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr al oy. At 4, 8 weeks after implantation, the corrosion product and its element composition were observed using scanning electron microscope with an energy dispersive spectroscopy system.

Anidulafungin is an effective antifungal medicine, which can inhibit activities of candida in vitro and in vivo. Echinocandin B (ECB) is the key precursor of Anidulafungin, thus the price and market prospect of Anidulafungin is directly due to the fermentation titer of ECB. In this study, Aspergillus nidulans was used for ECB fermentation, and the influence of adding microparticles on ECB fermentation was studied, such as talcum powder, Al2O3, and glass beads. The particle size and concentration were the key factors for mycelium morphology and ECB production, and ECB production could reach 1 262.9 mg/L and 1 344.1 mg/L by adding talcum powder of 20 g/L (d50 = 14.2 μm) and 7 glass beads (6 mm), an increase by 33.2% and 41.7%, respectively. The results indicated that the mycelium morphology of filamentous microorganisms and the product yield of fermentation could be improved by adding microparticles remarkably, and it provide an important method for the fermentative optimization of filamentous microorganisms.

The magnetic Illite ( MILT) was firstly prepared by an effective polyol-medium solvothermal method. Based on these 3-( methacryloyloxy) propyl trimethoxysilane ( MILT-MPS), magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers (MMIPs) were further synthesized via atom transfer radical polymerization in a mixture solution of methanol and deionized water. The as-prepared MMIIPs were characterized by FT-IR, TEM), XRD, TGA and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and the results indicated that the MMIIPs exhibited magnetic sensitivity ( Ms =3. 866 emu / g ), thermal stability and a larger specific surface area (109. 58 m2 / g). The batch mode adsorption studies were carried out to investigate the recognition specificity and selective capacity. The Langmuir isotherm model was fitted to the equilibrium data, and the monolayer adsorption capacity of MMIPs at 25℃ was 86. 58 mg / g. The selective recognition experiments demonstrated high affinity and selectivity of MMIPs towards ciprofloxacin ( CIP) over competitive compounds. Combined with high performance liquid chromatographic analysis technology, the prepared MMIIPs were successfully applied to extract and enrich trace CIP in environmental samples with the CIP recoveries from 93. 4% to 98. 3% and the limit of detection of 0. 01 mg / L.

Objective To explore the relationship between polymorphisms of XbaI and MspI loci of apolipoprotein B (ApoB) gene and -75 bp,+83 bp loci of apolipoprotein AI (ApoAI) gene and coronary heart disease (CHD) in Kazaks of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region,China.Methods These loci were analyzed by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-PFLP).Two hundred and five patients with CHD and two hundred and thirty six controls were involved.Results There were significant distinctions among low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),triglyceride (TG) and the ApoAI/ApoB ratio between the two groups,but no significant distinction among the polymorphism frequencies of the four sites between the two groups.The polymorphism coalition frequency of X-/Ms++/M1+-/M2++ (named Coalition 11) was significantly higher in CHD compared to the control group (14.6％ vs.7.2％,P ＜ 0.05).The level of total cholesterol (TC) in Coalition 1 1 was significantly higher and the level of the ApoAI/ApoB ratio in Coalition 11 was significantly lower than Coalition 1～10 in CHD patients.The level of the ApoAI/ApoB ratio of Coalition 11 was significantly lower than the Coalition 1～10 in control group.The levels of ApoAI/ApoB ratio of Coalition 3 were significantly higher compared to Coalition 11 in the two groups,respectively.The level of LDL-C of Coalition 3 was significantly lower than in the Coalition 11 in control group.The level of TC of Coalition 5 was significantly higher than Coalition 3 in the CHD group.The level of the ApoAI/ApoB ratio of Coalition 5 was significantly lower than in Coalition 3 or Coalition 1～10 of the two groups,respectively.The level of LDL-C of Coalition 5 was significantly higher than in Coalition 3 in control group.The ratio of ApoAI/ApoB was negatively related to TC,LDL-C and was positively related to HDL-C,both in CHD and control groups.Conclusion Coalition 11 of the 4 loci polymorphisms of the ApoB and ApoAI genes was correlated with CHD in Kazaks,and perhaps the ratio of ApoAI/ApoB was the most diagnostic parameter related with CHD among all lipid parameters.CHD may also be associated with Coalition 5,and,perhaps,Coalition 3 may have been confirmed as a protection factor against CHD,if more samples were enrolled.

This study was aimed to observe the influence of β-sitosterol (BSS) on estrogen receptor (ER) positive the human breast cancer cell line T47D and to study its mechanisms. ER antagonist ICI182 780 was employed to observe the influence on the proliferation. Proliferations of T47D cells influenced by different concentrations of BSS were analyzed by MTT assay. Cell cycle analyses were examined by flow cytometry. The protein expression of cyclin D1 was measured by western blot analysis and cyclin D1 mRNA was quantified by real-time PCR assay. The results showed that BSS in high dose exhibited significant inhibitory effects that were partly antagonized by ICI182 780 and decreased the proliferative index on T47D cells. However, BSS in low dose obviously promoted the proliferation that was completely inhibited by ICI182 780 and increased the proliferative index on T47D cells. The mRNA and protein levels of cyclin D1 were increased in low-dose BSS. The effect was blocked by ICI182 780. It was concluded that BSS in low concentration had phytoestrogenic effect by up-regulating the expression of cyclin D1 via ER pathway.

A new type of surface plasmon resonance ( SPR) spectroscopy system was designed and built. Here, a kind of dual photocell sensor was developed as a detection device to achieve a rapid measurement of SPR angle within a certain range. This SPR system was combined and integrated with electrochemical workstation to obtain a new type of electrochemistry-time-resolved SPR ( EC-TR-SPR ) instrument via instrumental technique. This EC-TR-SPR instrument was used to characterize the electrochemical polymerization process of aniline to validate the spectroscopic characteristics. Applications of transient electrochemical characterization methods, including chronoamperometry and differential pulse voltammetry, confirmed the time resolution and the applicability of this instrument system toward the steady state and transient electrochemical methods upon small molecular reactions. The experiment results showed that this EC-TR-SPR possessed the time resolution up to 10000 times per second (0. 1 ms), and could be used to real-time investigate the doping and de-doping of polymerization process of aniline monomer as well as the prepared polyaniline film, which could not be discriminated on a conventional electrochemical current-time curve. .
