Objective To summarize the clinical experience of surgical treatment for the congenital coronary artery anomaly.Methods 15 patients with coronary artery anomaly,congenital coronary artery fis-tulas were 11 patients,including 1 patient associated with Fallot,5 patients underwent ligation of isolated fistula and 1 patient's fistula was performed tangent suture though off-pump cardiopulmonary bypass,4 pa-tients'fistulas were repaired by endocardiac way and 1 patient was mended through dissection of fistula under Oil-pump cardiopulmonary bypass.Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from pulmonary artery were 4 patients and 1 patient associated with rheumatoid valve disease.Operative methods included ligation of left circumflex (1 case),anastomosis of left subclavian artery-left artery-left main (1 case) and transplantation of left main(2 cases).Results There was 1 death becaused severe low cardiac output syndrome,and the there was good prognosis and no clinical symptoms found in 14 patients during follow-up.Conclusion The feasible operation for the coronary artery anomaly should be performed as early as possible once diagnosed correctly.

Objective To investigate the association between the minisatellite polymorphism in the first exon of PLA2G4C gene and schizophrenia, and to reveal the important role of DNA sequence polymorphism in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia.Methods The minisatellite polymorphisms in the first exon of PLA2G4C gene in 91 patients with schizophrenia (case group)and 81 healthy persons (control group)were detected with PCR-sequencing analysis.The chi-square (χ2 )goodness-of-fit test was used to analyze the distribution of the PLA2G4C minisatellite polymorphism in various groups and to explore the association between the minisatellite polymorphism in the first exon of PLA2G4C gene and schizophrenia. Results There were minisatellite polymorphisms in PLA2G4C gene.Three kinds of polymorphisms 1×27 bp,2×27 bp and 3×27 bp were found by sequencing.The distribution of allelic frequencies at PLA2G4C polymorphism showed no statistical significance between case group and control group (P>0.05 ). No statistically significant difference was found in 3-homozygous haplotypes in PLA2G4C gene between case group and control group (P>0.05).At the same time,there was no statistically significant difference between 3-heterozygous haplotypes in PLA2G4C gene between case group and control group (P>0.05).Conclusion The minisatellite polymorphisms in the first exon of PLA2G4C gene are found,but the minisatellite polymorphism in the first exon of PLA2G4C gene may be not associated with the occurrence of schizophrenia.

Objective To investigate the attitude toward and perception of the risk of nuclear power plant among the public residing in vicinity of nuclear power plant,as well as the related factors.Methods A face-to-face interview on perceived radiation risks was conducted among 1408 individuals in Liangyungang City, Jiangsu Province.where the Tianwan nuclear power plant was under construction.The four groups was defined according to the distance between the residence of the subjects and the Tianwan nuclear power plant:<4 km,4- 8 km,8-30 km and 30-50 km.A was used to collect information on education,working history,religion, perception of major industries hazards especially nuclear power plant,and major factors may influence their perceptions.Ordinal logistic regression model was used to analyze the data.Results About 91.18% of the interviewee heard about the nuclear power plant,35.36% of them had knowledge about Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident,71.05% of them believed that the nuclear power plant had no negative effects on environments, 37.03% of them believed that the nuclear energy was safe.74.27% of them believed that it was necessary for China to develop nuclear energy.63.29% of them supported the construction of the nuclear power plant in local area.Ordinal logistic regression analysis revealed that the higher education,higher family annual income,male, economic benefits from the nuclear power plant construction,and trust in local government having competency to handling emergencies were positive factors;otherwise,impression on nuclear power plant of bad influences on environment and health were negative factors.An inverted U-shaped with a right tailing relationship between negative attitudes toward nuclear power plant and distance to the plant was found.Conclusions Education, gender,family annual income and expectation of economic benefit returns were the major factors influencing the perception of and attitudes toward nuclear power plant.More works needed to be done to mitigate the negative attitude of the residents in vicinity of nuclear power plant and enhance the public acceptability .

Objective To explore the influence of drug dosage, solvent and other main influencing factors on the successful establishment of alloxan-induced hyperglycemia mouse model and the effect on the stability of this model. Methods 160 6-8-week-old Kunming mice ofSPF grade, (male:female=1:1) were used in this study.The influences of different dosages of alloxan and solvent combinations on the successful establishment rate of the model, survival rate, body weight, fasting blood glucose, blood glucose area under curve, serum insulin level and their stabilities were dynamically observed for six weeks.Results By single intraperitoneal injection of 160 mg/kg bw alloxan ( pH 4.5 citrate sodium as solvent) , we were able to obtain a stable experimental hyperglycemic mouse model with higher levels of successful establishment rate (70%), survival rate (75%), fasting blood glucose (15-20 mmol/L), glucose area under the curve (55-65 mmol/L) and a lower but not loss of serum insulin levels (21 mIU/L).Conclusions In the present study we have carefully considered the influence of main factors such as drug dosages, solvent, etc., on the alloxan-induced experimental hyperglycemic mouse model, and successfully established this model after 6-week period observation of its stability.This model may provide a useful tool in the research of experimental diabetes and hypoglycemic functional studies.
