Objective To evaluate the clinical value of CTPA combined with V/Q imaging to guide the end point of anticoagulant therapy in reducing the recurrence rate of pulmonary embolism. Methods A total of 159 cases of pulmonary embolism diagnosed by CTPA were randomly divided into experimental group(n=80)and control group(n = 79). After the regular low molecular weight heparin and warfarin anticoagulation therapy ,the experimental group used the CTPA combined with V/Q imaging to evaluate the pulmonary embolism absorption ,to guide the end point of anticoagulant therapy and to evaluate the recurrence rate of pulmonary embolism at the end of 1-year treatment. But in control group ,only CTPA was used to guide the treatment and then the recurrence rate in 2 groups was compared. Results The anticoagulant treatment course of experimental group was(5.90 ± 1.80) months,which was significantly longer than that of control group(3.57 ± 1.09)months(P<0.05). The recurrence rate of experimental group was significantly lower than that of control group(7.5%vs. 22.8%)after 1-year treatment (P<0.05). However,there was no significant difference between 2 groups(8.75%vs 3.80%)in the rate of bleed-ing during anticoagulation therapy (p>0.05).Conclusions CTPA combined with V/Q imaging to guide the end point of anticoagulant therapy for pulmonary embolismhas important clinical value in reducing the recurrence rate of pulmonary embolism.

Objective To investigate the expression changes of microRNAs and VEGF-NOTCH in renal ischemic injury in mice, and to explore the potential mechanism associated with renal angiogenesis.Method Male Balb/c mice were subjected to a standard renal ischemia to induce acute kidney injury (AKI) after 45 min of bilateral renal artery clamping. Following 4 h, 24 h of reperfusion or sham operation, kindey tissues were collected and subjected to detect the expression changes of microRNAs which relatived with angiogenesis and VEGF, Flk-1, Notch1 mRNA by Quantitative Real-time RT-PCR. Flk-1 protein was detected by Western blotting analysis at 24 h and 72 h following Ischemia/Reperfusion(I/R) injury. The expression of CD31 was examined in tissue sections by immunohistochemistry staining, and the microvessels in ischemic region of each group were counted. Results miRNA-210 and miRNA-92a expression increased significantly, with prominent changes at 4 h and 24 h after reperfusion( P ＜ 0.05 ). VEGF and Flk-1 mRNA expression and Flk-1 protein were increased in renal I/R compared with control group respectively (P＜0.05 ).Immunohistochemistry staining results of CD31 showed a significant increase of microvessels in renal ischemic region. Conclusion This study first reported the changes in miRNAs expression in response to kidney I/R in mouse. our results implied that miRNAs may be involved in targeting VEGF-Notch pathway signaling to regulate angiogenesis after renal I/R injury. It provided novel insights into the angiogenesis mechanism of renal ischemic injury.

Objective: To observe the therapeutic efficacy of astragalus polysaccharide (APS) in combination with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) for elderly patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: A total of 80 elderly patients with I～IV stage NSCLC were randomly divided into two groups. The 40 patients in the therapeutic group received radiotherapy in combination with APS. The 40 patients in the control group received radiotherapy alone. Both groups received 3D-CRT with a total dose of 50～ 70Gy, 2.0Gy/fraction, once a day, 5 times per week. The patients in the therapeutic group were treated with radiotherapy combined with injection of APS (250mg in 5% glucose) or normal saline (500 mL) intravenously once a day until the end of radiotherapy. The short-term efficacy and patients' quality of life were evaluated. The T-lymphocyte subpopulation and peripheral blood leukocyte count were also measured after treatment. Results: The short-term effective rates of the therapeutic group and the control group were 87.5% and 72.5%, respectively, without significant difference between the two groups (P＞0.05). The decrease of peripheral blood leukocyte count after treatment in the control group was significant (P＜0.05). In the therapeutic group, the T-lymphocyte subsets CD8 and CD4/CD8 were improved after treatment, with a significant difference (P＜ 0.05). But in the control group, no significant changes in T-lymphocyte subsets CD8 and CD4/CD8 were observed after treatment (P＞0.05). Patients' quality of life in the therapeutic group was superior to that in the control group, with a significant difference (P＜0.05). Conclusion: APS in combination with 3D-CRT can reduce the side effects of radiation and improve the quality of life of elderly patients with NSCLC.

OBJECTIVETo explore the molecular mechanism of microRNA-21 in myocardial damage of rats in the early stage of severe scald injury by observing the expression of microRNA-21 and programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4) in myocardial tissue of rat and to validate the relationship between them in cell model.

METHODS(1) Forty SD rats were divided into sham injury group (n =8, sham injured) and scald injury group (n =32, inflicted with 30% TBSA full-thickness scald on the back) according to the random number table. The left ventricular tissue was collected from rats in sham injury group at post injury hour 1 without any fluid infusion. Rats in scald injury group were given an intraperitoneal injection of lactic acid Ringer's solution and 8 rats were respectively sacrificed at post injury hour 3, 6, 12, 24 to harvest left ventricular tissue. The expression of microRNA-21 in myocardial tissue was assessed by real-time fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR. The protein expression of PDCD4 in myocardial tissue was assessed by Western blotting. (2) Rat myocardial cell line H9C2 was divided into microRNA-21 inhibitor group (cells were transfected with microRNA-21 inhibitor) and negative transfection control group (cells were transfected with negative control of microRNA inhibitor) according to the random number table. At post transfection hour 48, real-time fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR and Western blotting were performed respectively to determine the mRNA and protein expression levels of PDCD4 in cells. Data were processed with one-way analysis of variance, LSD-t and two independent samples t test. The relationship between microRNA-21 expression and PDCD4 protein level in myocardial tissue of rats was assessed by linear correlation analysis.

RESULTS(1) The expression levels of microRNA-21 in myocardial tissue of rats in sham injury group at post injury hour 1 and in scald injury group at post injury hour 3, 6, 12, 24 were respectively 0. 96 ± 0. 13, 0. 44 ± 0. 08, 0. 42 ± 0. 10, 0.33 +0.07, and 0.61 0.10 (F = 27.331, P <0.001). Compared with that in myocardial tissue of rats in sham injury group at post injury hour 1, expression level of microRNA-21 was significantly decreased in scald injury group at post injury hour 3, 6, 12, 24 (with t values from 4. 558 to 9.410, P values below 0.01). The protein expression levels of PDCD4 in myocardial tissue of rats in sham injury group at post injury hour 1 and in scald injury group at post injury hour 3, 6, 12, 24 were respectively 0.44 ± 0.05, 0.60 ± 0.09, 0.92 ± 0. 15, 0. 86 ± 0.11, and 0.57 ± 0. 10 (F =8.622, P =0.003). Compared with that in sham injury group at post injury hour 1, protein expression level of PDCD4 was significantly increased in scald injury group at post injury hour 6 and 12 (with t values respectively 4. 968 and 4. 122, P values below 0.01). A significant negative correlation between the expression of microRNA-21 and PDCD4 protein in myocardial tissue of rats of scald injury group was observed at each time point (r = -0. 572, P = 0. 026). (2) The mRNA and protein expression levels of PDCD4 of myocardial cells in microRNA-21 inhibitor group were respectively 1.73 ± 0. 29 and 0. 38 ± 0. 08, which were significantly higher than those in negative transfection control group (0.95 ± 0.14 and 0.23 ± 0.03, with t values respectively 4. 857 and 3.356, P <0.05 or P <0.01).

CONCLUSIONSExpression of microRNA-21 was decreased, while expression of PDCD4 was increased, in myocardial tissue of rats in the early stage of severe scald injury. MicroRNA-21 might participate in myocardial damage in the early stage of scald injury by negatively regulating expression of PDCD4.
