BACKGROUND: Coronary angiography is called "the golden standard" for the diagnosis of coronary heart disease (CAD). Foreshortening of vessel segments in angiographic projection images usually caused by the inappropriate projection angles or positions may lead to misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the optimal angiographic views of main coronary artery and its branches in different somatotype or heart type patients and to investigate the specific relationships between the optimal angiographic views and the different somatotypes and heart types with computer-assisted techniques.DESIGN: A controlled observation.SETTING: Department of Cardiology, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University.PARTICIPANTS: Altogether 1 369 patients were admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University to undergo coronary angiography from January 2001 to December 2006 and recruited for this study. Written informed consents of coronary angiography were obtained from all the patients. The protocol was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Medical College of Nanchang University.METHODS: All 1 369 inpatients were assigned into 3 groups by body mass index (BMI): fat somatotype group (n =489, BMI: 26-31 kg/m2, transverse heart type), general somatotype group (n =502, BMI: 23-25 kg/m2, general heart type), and thin somatotype group (n =378, BMI: 17-22 kg/m2 vertical heart type). In each group, all arteries including left main coronary artery (LM), proximal segment of the anterior descending coronary artery (LAD), distal-mid segment of LAD, proximal segment of circumflex branch (LCX), distal-mid segment of LCX, proximal-mid and distal segments of right coronary artery (RCA) were properly and carefully analyzed using Compart software, and then we got its optimal angiographic viewing angle. Finally, we arranged these data and induced whether different somatotype group patients have different optimal angiographic viewing angles specifically for some coronary artery or not.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Optimal angiographic viewing angles.RESULTS: All 1369 patients participated in the final analysis. Optimal angiographic viewing angle for LM: left anterior oblique (LAO)(40±5)°/ caudal (CAU)(25±5)° or right left anterior oblique (RAO) 25°/CAU35°. In the fat somatotype group, the angle should be added 10° to its optimal angle, and in the thin somatotype group, the angle should be decreased by 10°, and the differences between the general somatotype group and the fat somatotype group or the thin somatotype group were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Optimal angiographic viewing angle for proximal segment of LAD: RAO (50±8)°/ cranial (CRA)(23±8)°. In the fat somatotype group, the optimal angle should be added 10°, but in the thin somatotype group, it should be decreased by 10°. The differences between the general somatotype group and the fat somatotype group or the thin somatotype group were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Optimal angiographic viewing angle for distal-mid segment of LAD: RAO (40±5)°/CRA (45±5)° or LAO (11±5)°/CRA (45±5)°. Optimal angiographic viewing angle for proximal segment of LCX: LAO (45±5)°/CAU (35±5)° or anteroposterior (AP)/CAU36°. Optimal angiographic viewing angle for distal-mid segmental of LCX: LAO (45±5)°/CAU (35±5)° or RAO (6±4)°/CAU (30±5)°. Optimal angiographic viewing angle for proximal-mid segment of RCA: LAO (35±5)°/CAU (14±5)° or LAO (48±5)°/CRA (15±5)°. For the thin or fat somatotype group, the optimal LAO angle should be increased by 15°, the optimal RAO angle should be decreased by10° for fat somatotype group and should be increased by 10° for thin somatotype group, and the differences between the general somatotype group and the fat somatotype group or the thin somatotype group were statistically significantly (P < 0.05). Optimal angiographic viewing angle for distal segment of RCA: LAO (53±5)°/CAU (17±5)°.CONCLUSION: The message can be got clearly about the whole coronary artery and the accuracy percentage of stenosis by changing angiographic viewing angle regularly to its own optimal angle in different somatotype or heart type patients. It's very important for making the choice of diagnosis and therapy

This study is to assess the efficacy of BPCBG on the decorporation of uranium (VI) and protecting human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2) against uranium-induced damage. BPCBG at different doses was injected intramuscularly to male SD rats immediately after a single intraperitoneal injection of UO2(CH3COO)2. Twenty-four hours later uranium contents in urine, kidneys and femurs were measured by ICP-MS. After HK-2 cells were exposed to UO2(CH3COO)2 immediately or for 24 h followed by BPCBG treatment at different doses for another 24 or 48 h, the uranium contents in HK-2 cells were measured by ICP-MS, the cell survival was assayed by cell counting kit-8 assay, formation of micronuclei was determined by the cytokinesis-block (CB) micronucleus assay and the production of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) was detected by 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCFH-DA) oxidation. DTPA-CaNa3 was used as control. It was found that BPCBG at dosages of 60, 120, and 600 micromol kg(-1) resulted in 37%-61% increase in 24 h-urinary uranium excretion, and significantly decreased the amount of uranium retention in kidney and bone to 41%-31% and 86%-42% of uranium-treated group, respectively. After HK-2 cells that had been pre-treated with UO2(CH3COO)2 for 24 h were treated with the chelators for another 24 h, 55%-60% of the intracellular uranium was removed by 10-250 micromol L(-1) of BPCBG. Treatment of uranium-treated HK-2 cells with BPCBG significantly enhanced the cell survival, decreased the formation of micronuclei and inhibited the production of intracellular ROS. Although DTPA-CaNa3 markedly reduced the uranium retention in kidney of rats and HK-2 cells, its efficacy of uranium removal from body was significantly lower than that of BPCBG and it could not protect uranium-induced cell damage. It can be concluded that BPCBG effectively decorporated the uranium from UO2(CH3COO)2-treated rats and HK-2 cells, which was better than DTPA-CaNa3. It could also scavenge the uranium-induced intracellular ROS and protect against the uranium-induced cell damage. BPCBG is worth further investigation.

Objective To detect epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) 19, 21 exon gene mutation and gene copy number in lung adenocarcinoma tissue, and to analyze the relationship of EGFR 19, 21 mutation with copies number. MethodsEGFR mutations and gene copy number in the tissue samples embedded by paraffin and fixed by for marlin from 58 cases of lung adenocarcinoma were detected by RT-PCR and FISH. The statistical data were analyzed by chi-square test.ResultsOf 58 cases, the overall single mutation rate of EGFR exon 19, 21 was 43.1% (25/58), and 2 cases contained both types of the mutation.The overall FISH positive rate of EGFR was 51.7 % (30/58), including 8 positive amplification and 22 highly ploidy amplification. The testing results showed that there had no statistically differences in FISH positive rates of EGFR mutation among different differentiation lung adenocarcinoma tissues(P >0.05), and the FISH positive rates of EGFR mutation in poorly differentiated cancer were lower than those in moderatedly differentiated and well-differentiated cancer (P <0.05). EGFR mutation was closely related to EGFR gene copies (P <0.01). ConclusionThere are high EGFR mutation frequencies and FISH positive rates in lung adenocarcinoma tissue; Combined detection of EGFR mutation and gene copy number may provide a better approach in selecting patients who may benefit from anti-EGFR target therapy.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), and explore the efficacy of endoscopic treatment in patients with esophageal submucosal tumor. Methods Sixty-eight patients with esophageal submucosal tumor were selected, and the tumor was derived from the muscularis mucosa and submucosa according to the common endoscope and endoscopic ultrasonography detection. Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) was applied to remove submucosal tumor with diameter less than 1.0 cm, endoscopic piecemeal mucosal resection (EPMR) or endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) was applied to remove submucosal tumor with diameter 1.1 - 1.5 cm, and ESD was applied to remove submucosal tumor bigger than 1.5 cm. Samples were examined by pathology after treatment. Results Tumors in all the patients were completely removed, and the tumor diameter was 0.6-2.3 cm. Forty-one cases were treated with EMR, 9 cases were treated with EPMR and 18 cases were treated with ESD. Four patients had intra-operative bleeding that was stopped by electrocoagulation hemostasis. No perforation occurred in all cases. Postoperative pathology revealed 43 cases had leiomyoma, 23 cases had interstitialoma, and 2 cases had lipoma. Patients were reviewed by gastroscope 3 months after operation. The white scars formed in all patients, and there was no residue or recurrence. Conclusions Different origin layers and property of esophageal submucosal tumor can be diagnosed accurately by EUS, and endoscopic therapy (EMR, EPMR and ESD) is an effective treatment for submucosal tumor from muscularis mucosa and submucosa. Endoscopic therapy is safe and effective. It provides sufficient pathological information.
