Objective To explore the correlation between the gene polymorphism of glucocorticoid receptor intron 4 G1666T (GR G1666T) and intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH ).Methods Frequencies of genotypes and alleles of GR G1666T in 48 pations with ICH(ICH group),48 ICH patients combining essential hypertension(EH) (ICH+EH group),46 EH patients (EH group) and 71 healthy people (NC group) were analyzed by a polymerase chain reaction for restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP).The gender,body mass index(BMI),blood pressure(BP),the levels of plasma angiotensinogen,renin,blood glucoseand and blood lipid were compared among the various genotype of GR G1666T in ICH patients.Results There was no obviously difference of G1666T genotype and allele frequencie among the 4 groups.However,the G allele frequence of females in groups ICH,ICH+EH and EH were significantly higher than that in NC group(all P

Objective To investigate the risk factors for portal vein thrombosis (PVT)under anticoagulation therapy after surgery in patients with portal hypertension.Methods We made a retrospective analysis of clinical data of 96 portal hypertension patients for surgical treatment at our hospital.All the patients with postoperative PVT or without were divided into two groups.Risk factors that may predict PVT were analyzed.Results PVT developed in 41 (40.08%)of 96 patients after surgery.Risk factors such as sex,age,Child-Pugh classification,type of operation,portal pressure and the pressure difference before and after surgery,preoperative prothrombin time, preoperative platelet count,spleen index,and portal vein diameter were not predictors of PVT.However,splenic vein diameter was an independent risk factor for PVT (P = 0.036);postoperative PVT tended to develop when the splenic vein diameter was larger than 1 1 mm.Conclusion Preoperative color Doppler testing of splenic vein diameter can predict PVT after surgery in patients with portal hypertension.

Objective To investigate the role of angiotensin Ⅱ receptors in metabolism of m yocardial collagen. 　Methods The collagen volume fraction(CVF), perivascular circumferential area(PVCA), hydroproline concentration(HC), ratio o f collagen type Ⅰto type Ⅲ(Ⅰ/Ⅲ),angiotensin Ⅱ(AngⅡ) content and the maximal binding capaci ty (Bmax) of ATRs were studied. The methods of radioimmunoassay(RIA),biochemistry assay, and pathological examin ation were used. 　Results Ventricular myocardial CVF, PVCA, HC, Ⅰ/Ⅲ, AngⅡ and B max of ATRs in WKY rats were significantly higher than those in sham -operation(SO)(P<0.05 or P<0.01),suggesting the collagen was abnormal ly accumulated in rats heart muscles. AngⅡ was positivily correlated with HC(r1=0.9045, P<0.01). After treament of Irbesartan, All above parameter were reduced significantly(P<0.05 or P<0.01), abnormally accumulated collagen was disap peared. While after treament of CGP42112A,an ATR2 antagonist, Bmax of ATRs was markedly decreased(P<0 .01), but CVF, PVCA, HC,Ⅰ/Ⅲ, AngⅡ showed little changes(P >0.05). 　Conclusion Obvious hyperplasia of myocardial collagens and remode ling of collagen network occurred after pressure overload. Local produced AngⅡ involves in the process,it's effects is mainly mediated by angiotensin Ⅱ 1 type receptor(ATR1)

The linear analysis for heart rate variability (HRV), including time domain method, frequency domain method and time-frequency analysis, has reached a lot of consensus. The non-linear analysis has also been widely applied in biomedical and clinical researches. However, for non-linear HRV analysis, especially for short-term non-linear HRV analysis, controversy still exists, and a unified standard and conclusion has not been formed. This paper reviews and discusses three short-term non-linear HRV analysis methods (fractal dimension, entropy and complexity) and their principles, progresses and problems in clinical application in detail, in order to provide a reference for accurate application in clinical medicine.

Objective To explore the mechanism of effects of cardiac sympathetic anesthesia on left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) and left cardiac cavity size of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.Method 121 consecutive patients with dilated cardiomyopathy were divided into cardiac sympathetic nerve blockade group(TEA group) and control group(c group).In TEA group,5％ lidocaine was injected into thoracic epidural cavity for about 4 to 8 weeks in addition with routine therapy.In c group,only routine therapy was used.We observe the changes of LVEF and left cardiac cavity size before and after treatment in both groups. Result In TEA group,after anesthesia,LVEF was increased from(31.3± 12.8) to(47.3± 21.3),P<0.001;left ventricular end－ diastolic diameter was reduced from(69.1± 7.1)to (65.1± 8.0),P<0.001;left atrial diameter was decreased from(44.0± 6.2)to(39.4± 7.2),P< 0.001. Conclusion Cardiac sympathetic anesthesia can effectively improve the ejection performance of dilated cardiomyopathy and make the dilated cardiac cavity turn to normal level.
