Objective To investigate the changes of plasma bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP-4) levels in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and rosuvastatin intervention effect on BMP-4 level.Methods Fifty-two patients with CHD and 35 health people were enrolled in this study as CHD group and control group.ELISA method was used to detect the concentration of plasma BMP-4.Analyzed the relationship between plasma BMP-4 and blood lipids,flow-mediated dilation (FMD),nitric oxide (NO),cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2),malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD).And observed the changing of plasma BMP-4 before and after rosuvastatin intervention.Results Plasma BMP-4 level in CHD patients was (7.53 ± 1.20) μg/L,higher than that of control group ((3.81 ± 0.79) μ g/L,t =3.541,P =0.006).After rosuvastatin treatment,plasma BMP-4 level in CHD patient was decreased from (7.53 ± 1.20) μg/L to (5.40± 0.98) μg/L (t =1.436,P =0.001).Plasma BMP-4 level was positively correlated with COX-2,MDA,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,total cholesterol (r =0.395,0.350,0.274,0.288 respectively,P ＜ 0.01 or P ＜0.05).But,it was negatively correlated with NO,high-density lipoprotein cholesterol,SOD,FMD (r =-0.291,-0.253,-0.476,-0.320 respectively,P ＜0.01 or P ＜0.05).COX-2,SOD and FMD were independent risk factors of plasma BMP-4 in patients with CHD.Conclusion Oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction are in patients with CHD.Rosuvastatin treatment can remarkably reduce plasma BMP-4 level,alleviate vascular endothelium injury induced by oxidative stress and improve endothelial function in patients with CHD.

Long tracheal lesions are mainly caused by stenosis, infection, trauma, malignant tumors and other factors. Resection of the diseased tissue or stenosis and end-to-end anastomosis is currently the gold standard for long tracheal lesions treatment. However, these treatment programs have proven to have major limitations. In recent years, tissue engineering technology has been regarded as a promising medical alternative treatment method, and the selection of scaffold materials is one of key parts. With the continuous exploration of domestic and foreign researchers, biological materials have been continuously developed and applied to the research of tissue engineering trachea. Tissue engineering degradable scaffold materials can be divided into natural polymer material scaffolds and synthetic polymer scaffolds according to the different sources. The scaffold material can be modified or compounded as needed to improve the biological properties of scaffolds. In addition, with the continuous development of biological printing technology, different scaffold materials can be better combined and used. Biodegradable scaffolds have become a new research direction in the field of tissue engineering trachea due to their polymer properties, and have good application prospects.

Objective To explore the relationship between PIAS3 expression and the degree of malignancy of meningiomas.Methods 72 cases of different degree of malignant meningioma and 13 cases of surgical specimens of normal brain tissue were extracted the total RNA,and detected the levels of PIAS3 in different degree of meningioma and normal brain tissue through comparative control study by using real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.Results PIAS3 was low expressed in normal brain tissue,however,high expressed in the human brain meningioma with significant differences(P＜0.01).There were also significant differences found in expression level of PIAS3 between meningiomas grade I and Ⅱ,or Ⅲ level(P＜0.05),but the differences between meningiomas grade Ⅱ and Ⅲ were not obvious(P＞0.05).And PIAS3 expression was not related with the depth of infiltration in invasive meningiomas(P＞0.05).Conclusion PIAS3 was overexpression in meningiomas,and was be closely related to the occurrence and development of meningiomas.

Satellite cells, as the major stem cells, are responsible for postnatal skeletal muscle growth, regeneration and maintenance. As a result, satellite cells have great potential as therapeutic agents. Activation of satellite cells in vivo is a key link in the muscle regeneration processes. And their replenishment is necessary to keep the capacity of skeletal muscle to regenerate after recurrence of muscle damage.

Objective To design leaf patterns for Multileaf Collimator(MLC)routine quality assurance(OA)with a 2D diode array.Methods According to the detector distribution characteristic of the 2D diode array and basillg on the"picket fence"pattern,design the"stepwise"pattern.For each diode involving MLC QA,a calibration curve of relative output versus leaf positioning error was measured through delivering a set of patterns with different intentionally introduced positioning errors.When this proposed technique was delivered,the referenced patterns were exposed,and the calibration curves were used as a mean to quantitative determination of the leaf possible positioning errors through the detector readings.Results Compared with the"picket fence"pattern,the"stepwise"pattern not only had a high detecting efficiency,but also increased the dosimetric sensidvity to leaf positioning error.A 1 mm Ieaf positioni.error corresponds to a dose variation of 25% for the"stepwise"pattern,while for the"picket fence"pattern the same positioning error just causes a 17% dose vailation.Conclusions The new"stepwise"pattern is more efficient to be carried out,and more sensitive to sub-millimeter changes of leaf positioning.
