The preventive effect of garlic against toxicity of dimethylnitrosamine (NDMA) in rats medicated with aminopyrine (AP) and NaNO2 was investigated. 28 rats were divided into three groups. The 6 rats of group C were set as control taking basal diet; the 10 rats of group B were given basal diet, AP, and NaNO2; the 12 rats of group A were given basal diet with an addition of 10% of garlic, AP and NaNO2. AP and NaNO2 in the dosage of 30 mg per kg of body weight were dissolved in 0.5% acetic acid and given by gavage to rats of groups A and B.During the experimental period of 35 days, 3 rats of group B died while all the rats of group A survived. At the end of the experiment, Hb, SGPT and SGOT were determined and all rats were killed for pathological studies. It was found Hb value of group A was higher than that of group B (P

Based on large sample of clinical epidemiology survey,we discussed the etiology and pathogenesis of type-2 diabetes.On the basis of Internal Classic ofHuang Di,and discussions of both ancient and modern doctors,we believed that:type 2 diabetes is just like Jueyin disease of Treatise on Febrile Disease,characterizing by adverse-rising of Qi,cold mingling with heat and deficiency mingling with access.The diseased location is spleen,and closely related with liver and lung.The pathogenesis is the failure transportation and transformation of spleen,floating of deficient five visceral essence,and turbid dampness flowing down to form yin fire syndrome.The reason for failure transportation and transformation of spleen includes depression of lung,adverse flow of liver-qi,dampness accumulation in the middle and deficiency of kidney Qi.

ObjectiveTo compare two treatment methods for acute iliofemoral vein thrombosis:c atheter-directed pharmacomechanical thrombolysis (CDPT,47 cases) and intervention combined surgicaltherapy( IST,14 cases).MethodsThis study includes 61 patients of acute iliofemoral vein thrombosis treated by CDPT or IST.All discharged cases were followed up by telephone for a period of 14 -37 months.ResultsAmong the 61 patients (64 extremities),47 (forty-seven extremities) treated by CDPT,and 14 cases (seventeen extremities) treated by IST.The IST group included three patients of bilateral iliofemoral vein thrombosis,five patients on postoperative status within one month,and three patients in which the iliofemoral vein was not accessible.When discharged from hospital,the effective rate of edema relief is 93.6％ in CDPT group while that is 94.1％ in IST group; Melena occurred in one patient of CDPT group and incision hematoma occurred in one patient of IST group.According to the results of 14 -37 months follow-up,the effective rate of edema relief is 85.0％ in CDPT group while that is 85.7％ in IST group ( x2 =0.004 and the P =0.948).Calf pigmentation occurred in only one patient of CDPT group.The patency rate of vein by BUS examination is 52.6％ in CDPT group while that is 84.6％ in IST group x2 =4.157,P =0.041 ).ConclusionsComparing with CDPT group,IST group has the similar effective rate of edema relief,but has higher patency rate of iliofemoral vein.In case of bilateral acute iliofemoral vein thrombosis,in patients in whom thrombolysis is contraindicated,or when the iliofemoral vein is not accessible,IST is the treatment of choice for acute iliofemoral vein thrombosis.

Objective To investigate the association of activating transcription factor 6(ATF6)gene Ala145Pro(GCG→CCG)variant with glucose and lipid metabolism in Chinese.Methods The genotypes were determined by PCR-RFLP in 689 Chinese in Shanghai.Among them,361 subjects showed normal glucose regulation,250 cases were newly-diagnosed diabetic patients without taking any drug and 78 cases were probands of early-onset type 2 diabetes pedigrees.The following phenotypes were measured:body height and weight to calculate BMI;waist,hip and femoral circumference to calculate waist-to-hip ratio and waist-to-femoral ratio;blood pressure;plasma glucose levels obtained at 0 and 120 minute during 75 g oral glucose tolerance test;fasting serum lipid profile including total cholesterol,triglyceride,high density lipoprotein-cholesterol and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol;body fat percentage and distribution.Results(1)The frequency of C allele is significantly lower in probands from early-onset type 2 diabetes patients compared with subjects with normal glucose regulation(P=0.035).(2)In subjects with normal glucose regulation,the CC+CG genotype had a significantly lower level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol as compared with GG genotype(P=0.014).(3)In type 2 diabetic patients,the CC+CG genotype had a significantly higher level of low density lipoprotein-cholesterol as compared with GG genotype(P=0.041).Conclusion These findings suggest that variant of ATF6 plays a role in glucose and lipid metabolism in Chinese.

To review the imaging characteristics and evaluate the diagnostic value of echocardiography for congenital double‐chambered left ventricle ( DCLV ) in children , and improve the diagnostic accuracy of initial echocardiography . Methods Doppler echocardiography was performed and these images were compared retrospectively with operative and computed tomography angiography findings in 8 children with DCLV . Results DCLV was characterized by the presence of a main left ventricular chamber and an auxiliary chamber seperated by abnormally hypertrophic muscle and/or fiber bundles . Six cases were diagnosed with type A ,and 2 cases with type B by Li Jun′s classification . T he associated malformations included ventricular septal defect ( 3 cases ) ,mitral regurgitation ( 2 cases ) ,mitral valve stenosis ( 1 case) . Six of 8 cases( 75 .0% ) were diagnosed correctly using Doppler echocardiography ,in the remaining 2 cases ( 25 .0% ) ,1 case was missed ,1 case misdiagnosed as left ventricular diverticulum . Conclusions DCLV could be correctedly diagnosed by Doppler echocardiography . This malformation should be differentiated from left ventricular diverticulum , left ventricular aneurysm , left ventricular non‐compaction ,and ventricular septal defect .

Objective:To review the imaging characteristics and evaluate the diagnostic value of Doppler echocardiography for congenitally malposition of septum primum(MSP).Methods:Images of Doppler echocardiography were retrospectirely rewiewed and compared with CTA, operative and necropsy findings in 8 cases with MSP in Xinhua Hospital, and Shanghai Children′s Medical Center, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from January 2009 to October 2019.Results:MSP was characterized by the absent of superior limbic band of septum secundum and different degrees of the leftward deviation of septum primum, and the pulmonary veins which connected with the posterior wall of the anatomical left atrium incorporated intothe right atrium. The associated malformations included totally anomalous (7 cases) and partially anomalous (1 case) pulmonary venous drainage directly to the right atrium. Six of 8 cases were diagnosed correctly. In the remaining 2 cases, 1 case misdiagnosed as single atrium, and the other case misdiagnosed as cor triatriatum.Conclusions:MSP could be diagnosed accurately by Doppler echocardiography. This malformation should be distinguished from single atrium and cor triatriatum.

Objective:To review the imaging characteristics and evaluate the diagnostic value of Doppler echocardiography for congenital pseudoaneurysm of the mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa (PMAIVF).Methods:Between June 2008 and January 2020, 4 patients with PMAIVF were diagnosed by CTA, MRI and operative findings in Shanghai Children′s Medical Center and Children′s Hospital of Soochow University. The echocardiographic characteristics were analyzed retrospectively in these children.Results:PMAIVF was characterized by a pulsatile echo-free sac that expanded in systole and collapsed in diastole with to-and-fro blood flow on color and pulsed-wave Doppler echocardiography between the mitral leaflet and the aortic annulus. Three cases were diagnosed correctly, and 1 case was misdiagnosed as left atrial mass.Conclusions:PMAIVF can be diagnosed accurately by Doppler echocardiography, but it is prone to be misdiagnosed and must be distinguished from aortic root abscess, atrial mass and coronary artery fistula.

Background: Using commutable external quality assessment (EQA) materials is important for monitoring successful harmonization efforts. We assessed the commutability of four human serum pool (HSP) preparations to identify candidate EQA materials for alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activity measurement. Methods: One set each of 85 clinical samples (CSs) was collected for ALT and AST activity measurement. The 15 candidate EQA materials included four types of HSP preparations (A to D): materials A, C, and D contained human original recombinant (HOR) aminotransferases; materials B was mixed leftover samples. The CSs and 15 candidate EQA materials were analyzed using seven routine assays, and the ln-transformed results were analyzed in 21 assay pairs. Commutability was assessed using Deming regression, with a 95% prediction interval (CLSI approach) and the difference in bias with an error component model (International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine [IFCC] approach). Results: For ALT, all materials were commutable for 14–21 assay pairs according to the CLSI and IFCC approaches. For AST, B01-03 showed commutability for 14-21 assay pairs, and C01-03 and D01-03 showed commutability for no less than 10 assay pairs according to the two approaches. A01-06 were commutable for 9-16 assay pairs according to the CLSI approach, but for 6-9 assay pairs according to the IFCC approach. Conclusions Mixed leftover samples showed desirable commutability characteristics as candidate EQA materials for routine aminotransferase activity measurements. Human serum bases supplemented with HOR were commutable for most routine ALT activity measurements.
