Objective:To explore the correlation among plasma levels of fibrinogen (Fg) ,D-dimer (DD) and antithrombin III (ATIII ) and carotid atherosclerosis (CAS) in AMI patients .Methods:A total of 147 AMI patients treated in our de‐partment from Jan 2012 to Dec 2014 were enrolled as AMI group ,another 120 patients without myocardial infarction (MI) were treated as control group .According to ACS severity ,AMI group was further divided into normal group (n=22) ,mild group (n=30) ,moderate group (n=40) and severe group (n=55) .Plasma levels of Fg ,DD and ATIII ,and carotid inti‐ma-media thickness (IMT) were measured and compared among all groups .Results:Compared with control group ,there were significant rise in plasma levels of Fg [ (3.12 ± 0.87) g/L vs .(5.01 ± 1.38) g/L] ,DD [ (317 ± 50)μg/L vs .(1530 ± 218)μg/L] and carotid IMT [(0.86 ± 0.41) mm vs .(1.12 ± 0.29) mm] ,and significant reduction in plasma AT Ⅲ level [ (87 ± 18)% vs .(76 ± 19)% ] in AMI group , P<0.01 all. Compared with normal group ,there were significant rise in plasma levels of Fg and DD ,and significant reduction in plasma ATIII level in moderate group and severe group , P<0.05 or <0.01. Spearman correlation analysis indicated that plasma Fg and DD levels were significant positively correlated with CAS severity (r=0.426 ,0.535 ,P<0.01 both) ,ATIII level was significant inversely correlated with CAS severity in AMI patients ,(r= -0.438 ,P=0.005) .Multi-factor Logistic regression analysis indicated that plasma Fg and DD levels were independent risk factors for MI (OR=2.836 ,2.231 , P<0.01 both) ,and plasma ATIII level was independent protective factor for MI (OR=0.899 , P=0.014 ) .Conclusion:Plasma Fg and DD levels are independent risk factors for MI and plasma ATIII level is independent protective factor for MI .

Objective To evaluate pericardial devascularization with splenectomy (PCDV) for the treatment of cirrhotic portal hypertension. Methods From January 1994 to December 2004, 177 patients were treated by PCDS, among them posthepatitic cirrhosis was identified in 170 cases, and alcoholic cirrhosis in 7. One hundred and thirty two patients were operated on electively, 25 prophylactically, and 20 emergently. Results The bleeding control rate was 95% , the overall operative mortality rate was 4. 5%. The main causes of death were upper gastrointestinal bleeding, hepatic failure and intra-abdomimal hemorrhage. The mean follow-up time was 3. 6 years. The 5-year survival rate was 90%. The 5-year recurrent bleeding rate was 5. 1% , The rate of postoperative hepatic encephalopathy was 5. 1%. Conclusions This procedure has the advantage of high successful rate of bleeding control, low complication rate, and long term survival.

Objective The anti-UV-B radiation mechanism of UV-B tolerance strain KFS-9 was studied from the profile of metabolites.Methods The compounds were separated by column chromatography and their structures were elucidated based on GC-MS,LC-TOF-MS,EI-MS and NMR analyses.Results Three unsaturated fatty acids(identified as 9-hexadecenoic acid,9,12-octadecadienoic acid and 11-octadecenoic acid) and 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid able to absorb ultraviolet were isolated from the petroleum ether extract of the fermentation liquid of Pantoea agglomerans KFS-9.Fraction(Ⅱ) was isolated from the ethyl acetate extract and was composed of 2,3-butanediol and a series of high unsaturated aroma compounds.Fraction(Ⅱ) had a wide absorption peak,and it could protect E.coli from UV-B damage in some sense.Conclusion Strain KFS-9 produced metabolites that were able to absorb UV to build a natural barrier and so improved the tolerance to UV radiation.The UV-B radiation protection test to the E.coli also showed fraction(Ⅱ) was not the only protector,and there definitely existedother materials and mechanism to protect the strain.

To investigate the influence of the difference enhancers on the transport mechanism of chlorogenic acid (CGA) across Caco-2 cells model, a RP-HPLC method was adopted to detect the concentrations of CGA. At the concentrations of 20 to 80 microg x mL(-1), the difference of absorption rate constants (K(a)) was not statistically significant. At the concentrations of 40 and 20 microg x mL(-1), the ratios of apparent permeability coefficients (P(app)) of the apical to basolateral and the basolateral to apical were 1.14 and 1.18, respectively. With the effect of enhancers K(a) and P(app) increased, the absorption half-life (T1/2) decreased. CGA passed through the Caco-2 cell membrane mainly by passive transport. It showed that monocarboxylic acid transporter (MCT) could be involved in the across membrane transport process of CGA. Borneol had no effect on the cell membrane transport processes. The order of increasing absorption of CGA caused by the enhancers was sodium lauryl sulphate > sodium taurocholate > carbomer.

Objective To detect the effect of osthole on proliferation and apoptosis of HL-60 cells and its molecular mechanism.Methods HL-60 cells proliferation was measured through the CCK8 assay method.The cell morphological changes were observed by Hoechst33342 staining after 8 h of drug effect.Induction of apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry and fluorescent microscopy.Expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax mRNA were evaluated by RT-PCR,and the expressions of cleaved caspase-3,caspase-8,caspase-9,Fas and FasL were evaluated by using western bolt assay.Results Osthole could inhibit the proliferation of HL-60 cells,the maximum inhibiting rate was (90.7 ±4.5)%,F =138.46,P =0.000; the apoptosis rate was 33.6%,F =27.75,P =0.006.The changes of apoptosis of cells and nucleus were shown in cell morphological observation.Osthole affected the decrease of the mRNA levels of Bcl-2 and the increase of the Bax mRNA levels via a dosedependent manner(F =210.12,P =0.000).Western blotting demonstrated that osthole could lead to the increase of the expression levels of cleaved caspase-3,caspase-8,caspase-9,Fas and FasL in the HL-60 cell line via a time-dependent manner.Conclusion Data suggests that osthole inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis of HL-60 cells through mitochondria-dependent pathway and death-receptor pathway.

Objective To explore the surgical method and curative effect of free vascularized fibular graft bridged vascu?lar pedicle by vein transplantation for infective long bone defect with or without soft tissue defect reconstruction. Methods From June 2008 to January 2014, 17 patients with infective long bone defect were treated, 11 male and 6 female, 1.5 to 55 years old and averaged 31.3 years. 8 cases in femur, 5 cases in tibia, 3 cases in humerus and 1 case in radius. Bone defect were 4 to 19 cm in length with an average of 9.4 cm. 8 cases with soft tissue defect, from 5.0 cm×3.0 cm to 17.0 cm×5.5 cm. Required adequate surgi?cal debridement, and vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) was used. Free vascularized fibular (skin) flap was designed and harvested . Artery and veins close to the health site were dissected, and bridged vascular pedicle of free vascularized fibular flap by autolo?gous vein transplantation with end to end anastomosis. The length free vascularized fibular graft was from 5 to 18 cm, with an aver?age of 9.6 cm. The free fibula flap ranged from 6.5 cm×4.0 cm to 18.0 cm×6.0 cm. Results All the 17 cases of fibular flap sur?vived, no vascular crisis happened. Post?operative wound primary healed in 11 cases, delayed 1 to 2 weeks to heal in 6 cases. Cal?lus was seen in the 6 to 8 weeks later. 15 cases were followed from 9 months to 6 years (averaged 30 months) while 2 cases were lost to follow?up. Bone defect primary healed in 13 cases, and the fibula graft unhealed in 2 cases, but healed again after a second operation. Fibula stress fracture occurred in one case at 7 months after grafting procedures and bone union was achieved 4 months after reapplying an external fixator. Infected bone defect healing time ranged from 4.2 to 9.8 months, averaged 5.9 months. Accord?ing to the Enneking score, 11 cases were excellent, good in 3 cases, one in fair. Excellent and Good rate was 93.3%. Conclusion Free vascularized fibular (skin) graft with vein bridged vascular pedicle can not only effectively repair infected bone and soft tissue defect, but also improve local blood supply and control infection, shorten the course of treatment, which is an effective treatment of infective long bone defects with or without soft tissue defects.
