Objective: To analyze the information of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in a single center during last 6 years, and to distinguish the clinical differences of patients between TakoSTubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods: A total of 1042 consecutive patients with primarily diagnosed acute anterior ST-segment elevation (STEMI) admitted in our hospital from 2008-01 to 2014-04 were retrospectively enrolled. The relevant patients were studied in 2 groups:TTC group, the patients with coronary angiography (CAG) and the contrast study of left ventricle corrected TTC diagnosis, n=10, and STEMI group, the patients received CAG within 6 hours of on set with conifrmed left anterior descending singlevessel disease at the same period of time as TTC patients,n=32. The basic clinical characteristics, levels of blood lipids, MI related biomarkers, the incidence rate of pathological Q wave, QTc interval and negative T wave in 12-lead ECG were compared between 2 groups. Results: The percentage of corrected TTC diagnosis in patients with primarily diagnosed STEMI was 1.06%. The female gender in TTC group and STEMI group was 100% vs 9%,P<0.01, TTC group had more patients with stress history before on set than that in STEMI group (70% vs 22%,P=0.02), lower levels of MI related biomarkers as CK (486 ± 249) U/L vs (716 ± 132) U/L, CK-MB (13.5 ± 17.1) mg/L vs (47.5 ± 21.9) mg/L, cTnI (22.8 ± 16.3) ng/mL vs (56.4 ± 24.0) ng/mL, allP<0.01. The age of morbidity, the ratios of hypertension, diabetes mellitus and blood lipids were similar between 2 groups. The frequency of abnormal Q-wave in ECG was similar between 2 groups, while the QTc interval was different in TTC group and STEMI group (630 ± 117) ms vs (540 ± 62) ms,P=0.001, the negative T waves in ECG leads II, III, aVF, aVR and V6 were as (100.00% vs 3.13%), (60.00% vs 6.25%), (90.00% vs 3.13%), (100.00% vs 21.88%), (100.00% vs 46.88%), allP<0.05. Conclusion: TTC patients with the main presentation as ST-segment elevation are usually having emotional or physical stress before on set, with obviously prolonged QTc interval and more frequency of negative T waves in ECG.

OBJECTIVETo reveal the flowering characteristics of Panax stipuleanatus and provide theoretical basis for distant hybridization between P. stipuleanatus and P. notoginseng.
METHODDuring the blossom of P. stipuleanatus, we observed and investigated blooming phenophase, growth dynamics of inflorescence, pollination and seed setting of its population and the flowering process and its period, the regularity of flowering and pollinating of the floret. Statistic analyses were carried out.
RESULT AND CONCLUSIONThe population florescence of P. stipuleanatus was about 60 d. The average florets quality of umbel was 44-47. The average natural pollination rates were 73.32%-95.39%. The average seed setting rates was 35.65%-51.76%. The highest growth periods of inflorescence are from March 25 to April 4. The diameter, the height and the length of its inflorescence in 10 d increased 44.65%, 42.19% and 106.25%, respectively. The whole stereotype period was the May beginning. The time that the floret from petal opening to withering it generally needed 36-48 h, 60 percent of the floret finished auther pollinating during the same day and 40 percent until the next day. The flowering and pollinating peak periods were 14:00-15:00, the flowering numbers was 28.48% of the total flowering amount and the pollinating numbers were 38.63% of the total pollinating amount. The high temperature (20-30 degrees C) and the low humidity (RH < 60%) were beneficial to flowering and pollinating.

AIM:To observe the alterations in cognition of growing rats exposed to chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) and to explore its underlying mechanisms. METHODS:Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats (3-week-old~4-week-old and 80 g to 100 g),which had been trained to complete the 8-arm (4-arm baited) radial maze,were randomly divided into 4 groups:2-weeek-CIH group (2IH),4-week-CIH group (4IH),-week -control group (2C) and 4-weeek-control group (4C). The intermittent hypoxia model was induced by putting the animals in an intermittent hypoxia cabin. When intermittent hypoxia was terminated,spatial memory of these growing rats was tested by 8-arm (4-arm baited) radial maze task,then,one rat in each group was randomly selected for ultrastructural observation. The hippocampus and prefrontal cortexes of the rats were collected for analyzing the mRNA and protein expression of CREB by RT-PCR and Western blotting,respectively. RESULTS:(1) In the 8-arm (4-arm baited) radial maze task,the results indicated that the rats in the 4 groups displayed significant difference in their performance assessed by three measuremens:the reference memory error,the working memory error and total memory error (P 0. 05,respectively). CONCLUSION:Exposure to experimentally-induced IH in growing rats is associated with time related spatial memory impairment. Chronic intermittent hypoxia leads to the disorders of neuron ultra-structure in memory related brain regions. It also inhabits the CREB transduction,expression and CREB phosphorylation,decreases the synthesis of the memory related protein. These factors maybe contribute to learningmemory impairment of growing rats exposed to chronic intermittent hypoxia.
