Objective To retrospectively investigate the clinical features and incidence trends of hypertriglyceridemic acute pancreatitis (HLAP) in Guangzhou First People's Hospital for 20 years.Methods The medical records of 1 362 patients,who were admitted to Guangzhou First People's Hospital with acute pancreatitis during January 1991 to December 2010,were reviewed and 99 patients met the HLAP criterion.These patients were divided into four groups according to years (1991 ～ 1995,1996 ～2000,2001 ～2005,and 2006 ～2010).The incidence and clinical features were compared among the 4 groups.Results Among the 99 patients,there were 61 males and 38 females,the mean age was (44 ± 12) years old,and young male was predominant in HLAP.HLAP accounted for 7.3％ of all AP patients,and the incidence was increased 1.5 times during the 20 years period (5.4％,5.7％,6.7％,and 8.3％ respectively).The serum amylase level was (513.3 ±462.7) mmol/L,TG level was (12.7 ± 7.0) mmol/L,Ranson score was (1.2 ± 1.1),CTSI score was 2.2 ± 1.1,incidence of SIRS was 36.4％,and the incidence of MODS was 18.2％,and the incidence of pancreatic pseudocyst was 5.1％,but the incidence and mortality of SAP was not changed with time.The incidence and mortality of SAP of HLAP were significantly higher than those of acute biliary pancreatitis (20.2％ vs 8.5％,6.1％ vs 2.8％).The rate of blood purification increased from 0 to 10.7％,and the hospital stay was decreased from 26 d to 14 d,and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Incidence of HLAP is increased gradually,with a trend towards more severe disease,but the prognosis is improved.

Objective To observe the anti-tumor effect and mechanism of curcumin on triple-negative breast cancer mouse model.Methods Human breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231 were inoculated to the chest subcutaneous fat pad of mice(about 1 million cells in 0.1 mL cell suspension).At day 2 after tumor inoculation,nodules were seen at inoculation site (tumor formation rate being 100％).Forty successfully-modeled mice were randomly divided into low-,middle-,and high-dose curcumin groups (10,20,40 mg/kg) and model control group,10 mice in each group.The medication lasted for 30 continuous days.After medication,the blood was taken out from the orbital venous plexus,and the serum was separated for the detection of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) contents.Spleen was separated for the calculation of organ coefficient,tumor mass was weighed,and the expression levels of Bcl-2 and caspase-3 were detected by Western blotting method.Results Compared with the model control group,caspase-3 expression level was significantly increased in the three curcumin groups(P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01),but the contents of TNF-α and IL-6,tumor weight,spleen index and Bcl-2 expression were significantly decreased(P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Curcumin has inhibitory effect on triple-negative breast cancer mouse model through promoting the apoptosis of breast cancer cells.

The aim of this study is to analyze the concordance between EDV, ESV and LVEF values derived from 18F-FDG PET, GSPECT and ECHO in patients with myocardial infarction. Sixty-four patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and myocardial infarction were enrolled in the study. Each patient underwent at least two of the above mentioned studies within 2 weeks. LVEF, EDV and ESV values were analyzed with dedicated software. Statistical evaluation of correlation and agreement was carried out EDV was overestimated by 18F-FDG PET compared with GSPECT [(137.98 ± 61.71) mL and (125.35 ± 59.34) mL]; ESV was overestimated by 18F-FDG PET (85.89 ± 55.21) mL and GSPECT (82.39 ± 55.56) mL compared with ECHO (68.22 ± 41.37) mL; EF was overestimated by 18F-FDG PET (41.96% ± 15.08%) and ECHO (52.18% ± 13.87%) compared with GSPECT (39.75% ± 15.64%), and EF was also overestimated by 18F-FDG PET compared with GSPECT. The results of linear regression analysis showed good correlation between EDV, ESV and LVEF values derived from 18F-FDG PET, GSPECT and ECHO (r = 0.643-0.873, P = 0.000). Bland-Altman analysis indicated that 18F-FDG PET correlated well with ECHO in the Left ventricular function parameters. While GSPECT correlated well with 18F-FDG PET in ESV, GSPECT had good correlation with Echo in respect of EDV and EF; whereas GSPECT had poor correlation with PET/ECHO in the remaining left ventricular function parameters. Therefore, the clinical physicians should decide whether they would use the method according to the patients' situation and diagnostic requirements.

Objective To explore the effect and mechanism of renal denervation combined with Losartan on cardiac hypertrophy in spontaneous hypertensive rats. Methods Spontaneous hypertensive rats with cardiac hypertrophy underwent renal denervation combined with following 4 weeks drug treatments. Transthoracic two-dimensional guided M-mode echocardiography was performed. The expression of hypertrophy-related gene was detected. Left ventricularmass index was calculated and histological sectionsstained with hematoxylin and eosin (HE). Results The characteristics of cardiac hypertrophy was observed in left ventricular tissues with HE staining in12 weeks old spontaneous hypertensive rats.The thickness was increased in those ventricular (IVSs, IVSd, LVPWs and LVPWd). After4 weeks after treatment, histological improvements were observed in both RDN and R+L groups compared with sham group. The improvement was more obvious in R+L group. Similar results were observed in histological sections, ventricular thicknesses (IVSs, IVSd, LVPWs and LVPWd), related-hypertrophy genes (ANP and β-MHC) expression, left ventricular mass idex (LVMI) and the protein expression of inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IL-6). Conculsion Renal denervation therapy can improve hypertensive-induced cardiac hypertrophy in spontaneous hypertensive rats. The effect was more significant when combined with Losartan. The mechanism might be involved in inhibiting inflammatory cytokines.
