Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is a commonly used technology in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedure. It has higher resolution and repeatability, and more importantly, it can make the vascular structure visiable which shows the plaque morphology and component, compared with traditional coronary angiography. Most researches indicated that IVUS can help doctors find out the optimized stent size, stent malapposition,stent disexpansion,and procedure complication, thus reduce the incidence of restenosis and stent thrombosis. IVUS has been widely applied in research about the predictors of PCI complication, these results benefit us to make better decision on PCI procedure. In this article, we reviewed the studies based on IVUS technology during the last 10 years and summrized according to restenosiss and stent thrombosis with BMS (bare metal stent) and DES (drug eluting stent) .

Objective To investigate the effect of attention training on cortical activation area and lateralization index in interference effect of dual-task paradigm as the poststroke nonfluent aphasiacs processing the Chinese character tasks. Methods 20 cases with nonfluent aphasia after stroke were divided into the training group and the control group, who accepted attention training and cognitive training respectively, 30 min a time, 5 times a week, for 4 weeks. They were investigated the cortical activation area and lateralization index caused by interference effect of dual-task paradigm under block design. Results The right inferior frontal gyrus, bilateral parietal and cerebellar cortex were activated before training in both groups, and more activated after attention training, but no change after cognitive training. Lateralization index suggested that the right brain was more activated before training, while the left side was activated after attention training, but no change after cognitive training. Conclusion The right inferior frontal gyrus, bilateral parietal and cerebellar cortex are very important in solving the dual task interference in the attention stage, and they are activated after attention training. It indicates that attention training makes a significant functional reorganization on Chinese character processing in poststroke nonfluent aphasiacs.

Objective To explore the influence of attention training on Chinese character processing capability in poststroke nonfluent aphasiacs. Methods 60 stroke patients with nonfluent aphasia and cognition dysfunction were divided into control group (n=30) and experimental group (n=30). The trainings (attention training and cognition training) were respectively 30 minutes each time, 5 times each week for 4 weeks. The change of reaction time and error rate were compared before and after they were performing the orthographic, semantic and phonological tasks. Results In the dual-task paradigm the change of reaction time and error rate in orthographic and semantic tasks of the experimental group were all higher than the control group (P<0.001). But there was no difference between the two groups in the phonological task (P>0.05). In the single task paradigm there was no difference between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion 1. Attention training can improve the processing capacity significantly in orthographic and semantic tasks in the dual-task paradigm because the volume and distributive ability of attention improve significantly. 2. Attention training can't improve the processing capacity in phonological tasks in the dual- task paradigm because reading aloud and judging are required to process the vowel simultaneously. So that the competion intensifies and it is more difficult to finish the task. 3. In the single task paradigm, there is no significant difference between the influence of the two trainings in poststroke nonfluent aphasiac because the single task needs little attention and the change in the control group is enough.

Objective To investigate the Chinese characters processing in healthy subjects with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Methods 10 healthy subjects were asked to finish the dual-task paradigm Keying/Reading and single-task paradign Keying or Reading.The active area and partial lateralization index in brains of them were investigated with fMRI with block design. Results and onclusion The tasks activated the right inferior frontal gyrus, bilateral parietal and cerebellar cortex. The laterality index showed that the left brains were more active in the tasks.

AIM: To evaluate the effect of hypoxic preconditioning (HP) on the cytoskeleton of sinoatrial node cells primarily cultured from neonatal rat. METHODS: Cells were randomized to three groups of control, hypoxia/reoxygenation ( H/R) and HP. F-actin, vinculin, ?-tubulin and desmin were studied with laser confocal microscopy after labled with different immune fluorescent agents. RESULTS: Compared with control, although both H/R and HP reduced the fluorescence intensity of these four cytoskeletal proteins remarkably (P

Objective To compare the effects of stimulated ischemic preconditioning (IP) and ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) on the hyperpolarization-activated current (I_ f ) of sinoatrial node cells and explore the mechanisms of electrophysiological protection of IP. Methods The sinoatrial node cells cultured for 2 d were randomized to three groups: ① Control in which the cells were cultured at 37 ℃ in the mimic reperfusion solution, meanwhile the mixture of 95% O_ 2 and 5% N_ 2 was ventilated; ② I/R in which the cells were cultured in the mimic ischemic solution and simultaneously the mixture of 95% O_ 2 and 5% N_ 2 was ventilated for 3 h, then cultured in the mimic reperfusion solution and simultaneously the mixture of 95% O_ 2 and 5% N_ 2 was ventilated for 4 h; ③ IP in which the cells underwent ischemia for 10 min and reperfusion for 10 min, repeated once. Then the cells were treated as the same as the I/R group. After 4-hour reperfusion, I_ f was recorded by whole-cell patch clamp technology. Results I/R significantly enhanced the current density of I_ f , shifted the current activation curve to more positive value by changing the half-activation voltage from (-98.9?2.4) mV to (-85.2?2.5) mV (P

Objective The transformations of clinical state in aged patients suffered from hepatocirrhosis incorporated with diabetes were observed through the lamivudine therapy.Methods The clinieal state,state of diabetes related to the grade of liver function and the influence of clinical state by lamivncline treatment in 36 patients were analyzed.Results Those with representative symptom of diabetes were less observed(2.8%) in these 36 patients.The patients complicating with the spontaneous bacterial peritonitis had a high chance.The blood glucose level show obviously abnormas after the liver function got worse.With the liver function improved through combined therapy include lamivudine,the blood glucose level turned to a low level.Conclusion The clinical state in aged patients suffered from hepatocirrhosis with Ⅱ type diabetes is untypical.The blood glucose level appearances direct correlation with the condition of hepatocirrhosis.Treatments with lamivudine was favorable for control of blood glucose level and better liver function.

Objective To study the mechanisms of Chinese medicine Euphorbia kansui induced liver damage. Methods 40 mices were selected and radomly divided into four groups according to the dose of Chinese medicine Euphorbia kansui used,there were 4 g/kg group(1/8 LD50 ),2 g/kg group(1/16 LD50),1 g/kg group(1/32 LD)50,and control group,which were given saline. After continuous administration for 21 d by ig,the body weight and liver coefficient of mice in all groups were determined,liver histological changes were detected by HE staining. The serum enzymatic activity of alanine aminotransferase (ALT)and aspartate aminotransferase (AST),the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD)and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px),the content of malondialdehyde (MDA),superoxide anion radical (O2-·)and hydroxyl radical (OH·)were all measured by ultraviolet spectrophotometry. The changes of reactive oxygen species (ROS)content were detected by flow cytometry. Results With the increase dose of Chinese medicine Euphorbia kansui,the body weight of rats were decreased,and liver coefficient were increased(P<0.05). The serum ALT,AST activity were significantly increased,SOD and GSH-Px activity were significantly decreased(P<0.05),MDA content were increased significantly,radical O2-·, OH·and intracellular ROS levels were all increased (P<0.05 ). Conclusion Chinese medicine Euphorbia kansui induced liver injury though lipid peroxidation.
