Objective To evaluate the clinical values of(M-slice computed tomography coronary angiography(CTCA) in contrast to conventional coronary angiography(CCA).Methods Assessment of the major and minor branches of coronary arteries by 64-Slice CTCA,showed the information of 100 patients with 64-slice CTCA,comparing with CCA regarded as the golden standard recently implemented.Results Among the 100 patients,920 coronary arteries were evaluated with 370 lesions found.Of them ,348 lesions were consisted with CCA,22 lesions were falsely positive and 10 lesions were found by CCA not picked up by 64-slice CTCA.The sensitivity,specificity,positive predict values and negative predict values were 97.2% ,96%,94% and 98.1% respectively for the detection of coronary artery disease(CAD),Further statistical analysis using a 2-related X~2 test showed no obvious difference in the discovery of CAD between 64-slice CTCA and CCA.Comparing both imaging modalities,there was concordance in assessing lesion severity in 311 lesions,and accuracy approaches 86.8%.Conclusions 64-slice CTCA has excellent sensitivity and specificity in detecting CAD,and also can give fairly accurate assessment of stenosis severity in most patients as compared to CCA.As a alternative method it is a useful non-invasive for detecting coronary arteries disease in symptomatic patients

A recombinant eukaryotic expression vector containing HSA(Heat-stable Antigen) cDNA and PcDNA 3 plasmid was constructed and then transfected into mouse lymphoma cell line---EL-4 by electroporation. The transfected tumor cells were selected in RPM11640 containing G418 (400?g/ml).HSA expression was detected by FACS using indirect immunofluorescene technique with HSA mAb (Ml/69).To obtain high expression of HSA'EL-4 cells ,the transfected cells were recloned by limiting dilution. In animal experiments, we found that the tumorigenicity of HSA+ EL-4 is weaker than HSA- EL-4(EL-4 or EL-4-v). The size of HSA+ EL-4 tumors were significantly smaller than that of HSA- EL-4 tumors. The tumor growth speed and survival time of tumor-bearing mice are also different. A protective effect against the subsequently challenge with low dose (2 ? 1 03/mouse) wild type tumor cells was found in immunized mice with inactivated HSA+ EL-4 tumor cells but not in those animals immunized with HSA- EL-4 tumor cells. Moreover, HSA+ EL-4 could be used as tumor vaccine to cure the established tumor at the initial stage.

Purpose:
The purpose of the current study was to explore the functions and potential mechanism of miR-451a in breast cancer (BC).
Methods:
Quantitative reverse transcription real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to analyze the expression of miR-451a in human normal mammary cells (MCF-10A) and BC cells. Colony formation assay, terminal-deoxynucleoitidyl transferase mediated nick end labeling assay and transwell assays were conducted to validate the effect of miR-451a on proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion of BC cells, respectively. RNA pull-down, RNA immunoprecipitation and luciferase reporter assays were applied to investigate the upstream and downstream mechanisms of miR-451a in BC cells.
Results:
MiR-451a was expressed at a low level in BC cells. Overexpression of miR-451a repressed BC cells proliferation, migration and invasion. Moreover, long non-coding RNA AC092127.1 acted as a sponge of miR-451a to enhance the expression level of AE binding protein 2 (AEBP2) that was demonstrated to be the target gene of miR-451a in BC cells. Finally, rescue experiments validated that miR-451a and AEBP2 involved in AC092127.1-mediated BC cell growth, migration and invasion.
Conclusion
In a word, AC092127.1/miR-451a/AEBP2 axis contributes to BC cell growth, migration and invasion. Our results may help to find novel potential targets for BC treatment.

Objective To assess the effect of leukocyte fihration on systemic inflammatory response to cardiopulmonary bypass.Methods Twelve mongrel dogs weighing 25-30 kg were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=6 each):control group(C)and leukocyte depletion group(LD).The dogs were anesthetized with intraperitoneal pentobarbital 25 mg?kg~(-1).The trachea was intubated.The arterial line of CPB was connected with aortic cannula and the venous line with a cannula inserted into right atrium.The leukocyte-depletion filter LD-1 was positioned in the venous line of CPB circuit.Aorta was clamped at 10 min of CPB and St.Thomas cardioplegic solution 20 ml?kg~(-1) was injected into the root of aorta.The filter was used for 5 min starting from 2 min of CPB. Aorta was clamped for 60 min.Blood samples were taken from femoral vein before CPB(T_0,baseline), immediately after aortic clamping(T_1)at 30 min of aortic clamping(T_2)5 min after aortic unclamping(T_3)at the termination of CPB(T_4)and 2 h after termination of CPB(T_5)for leukocyte count and determination of plasma L-selectin,IL-6 and IL-8 concentrations and MPO activity.The IL-6 and IL-8 concentrations in the filter LD-1 were measured at 30,60 and 90 rain after leukocyte filtration.The membrane of filter LD-1 was taken at 90 min after filtration for microscopic examination.Results The leukocyte count was significantly lower at T_1 in LD group than in C group.The plasma L-selectin,IL-6,IL-8 concentrations and MPO activity were significantly increased during CPB as compared to the baseline at T_0 in both groups but were lower at T_5 in LD group than in C group.The IL-6 and IL-8 concentrations in LD-1 filter were increased at 60 and 90 min after filtration as compared to those at 30 min.The filter membrane was covered with enormous number of leukocytes.Conclusion Leukocyte filtration can decrease systemic inflammatory response to CPB in dogs.

Objective To study the mechanisms of Pericarpium Arecae. Methods A total of Wistar rats were randomly divided into Pericarpium Arecae group and control group, Pericarpium Arecae decoction or distilled water were given respectively. Changes of gastrointestinal motility rats were assayed by Dextran blue-2000 after 1 and 6 hours. The distributions of SP and VIP in antrum and jejunum were investigated by immunohistochemistry assay. Results The gastrointestinal motility of rats was markedly enhanced (P<0.01 or P<0.05). The expressions of SP increased significantly (P<0.01 or P<0.05) and the expressions of VIP decreased significantly (P<0.01 or P<0.05) in antrum and jejunum of rats at 1 and 6 h after Pericarpium Arecae decoction was given. The changes were more obvious at 1 h than at 6 h. Conclusion The kinetogenic effect of Pericarpium Arecae is closely correlated to the increase of SP expression and the decrease of VIP expression in gastrointestinal tract.

Objective To explore the role and clinical efficacy of catheter induced thrombolysis (CDT) debulking method in the treatment of aorto-iliac artery occlusion.Methods A total of 59 patients with aorto-iliac artery occlusion who underwent endovascular treatment between June 2015 and June 2017 were enrolled.Patients were divided into PTA group and CDT group according to the treatment methods received.The PTA group received a balloon-expandable stent placement,and the CDT group underwent thrombolytic therapy for 48 to 72 hours before angiographic evaluation and further PTA treatment.Results In the CDT group,7 cases were still unable to place the stent after thrombolysis,and 20 patients successfully received stenting including 1-stent-placement in 16 patient and 2-stents-placement in 4.In PTA group 32 patients were treated with stents placement including 1-stent-placement in 19 patients,2-stents in 12,3-stents in 1.Follow-up rate was 86.3% within 1 year,the patency rate was 84.21% in the PTA group,and 76.92% in the CDT group.Conclusions CDT is effective method for occlusion of the aortoiliac artery.TASC classification of aorto-iliac arterial occlusion degrades after CDT treatment,thus reducing the use of stenting.
