Objective To assess the characteristics of heart rate turbulencer (HRT) in elderly patients with decreased left ventricular diastolie function.Methods 40 patients were divided into two groups:20 patients with enlarged left atrium and 20 patients without enlarged left atrium.20 healthy people were selected as controls. Turbu1ence onset (TO) and turbulence slope (TS) were measured,and correlation was analyzed between TO,TS and the E/A,index of Macruz and heart rate variability (HRV).Results TO was higher (P<0.05) and TS was lower in patients (P<0.01),TO was higber in patients with enlarged left atrium than in with out enlarged lef atrium people (P<0.05) and TS was lower (P<0.01).TO was positively (P<0.01) and TS Was negatively (P<0.05),correlated with the index of Macruz.TO Was negatively (P<0.05) and TS was positively (P<0.05) related to SDNN and SDANN.Conclusion HRT can be used as a potential risk predictor in decreased left ventricular diastolic function patients.

Background and purpose: More than 90% of cancer patients are incurable because of drug resistance. Activation of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway in breast cancer, as a target for chemotherapy drugs has become a hot topic of breast cancer treatment. This study aimed to investigate the effect and mechanism of XCL1 on the proliferation of drug-resistant breast cancer cell, whether is related with the mTOR signaling pathway. Methods:Established gemcitabine-resistant breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231/Gem). CCK8 to detect the proliferation of MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-231/Gem, RT-PCR and ELISA to determine the XCL1 expression level of the two cell lines, Western blot to detect the expression of mTOR. Results:Compared with MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-231/Gem showed an enhanced proliferative capacity. The expression of XCL1 was increased in the resistant cell lines. Both of protein level and phosphorylation level of mTOR increased in drug-resistant cell lines. The MDA-MB-231 added exogenous XCL1 for 24 h, showed an enhanced cell proliferation. Adding anti-XCL1 antibodies in MDA-MB-231/Gem could reduce cell proliferation and treating MDA-MB-231/Gem with the mTOR inhibitor could also reduce cell proliferation, as well as the XCL1 expression level. Conclusion:XCL1 promotes the proliferation of drug-resistant breast cancer cells mediated by activation of the mTOR pathway.
