Objective]To evaluate the value of three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography(3D-TEE)in the applica?tion of percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusionin patients with atrial fibrillation.[Methods]7 patients with atrial fibrillation in Da?lian area(female 4,male 3,mean age 71.5 ± 3.3 years)were enrolled in the study.The maximum and minimum diameter and the max?imum depth ofleft atrial appendage were measured by 3D-TEE,and export morphology and leaf number were viewed.WATCHMAN occlude size was selectedby 3D-TEE. The process of operation was monitored by 3D-TEE. 3D-TEE was also performed in 3 months after the transcatheter closure.[Results]7 patients were performed the transcatheter closure therapy successfully. Preoperative 3D-TEE showed left atrial appendage export:5 cases were oval,and 2 cases were nearly circular. The leaf number was 1.6 ± 0.8. The maximum diameter of the left atrial appendage export was(23.1 ± 1.7)mm,(19.2 ± 2.1)mm minimum diameter,maximum depth of(27.6 ± 3.3)mm. The maximum diameter had good correlation with the size of occluder(r=0.944,P=0.001). 3D-TEE was used for guidance in the transcatheter therapy and succeeded. There were 1 case with little shunt after the transcatheter closure. 3 months af?ter the treatment ,position and shape of the occluderswere all in good.[Conclusion]3D-TEE has the great value in the percutaneous closure of left atrial appendage.

This study was aimed to discuss the influence of specific acupoint acupuncture therapy to the serum angiogenesis factor of high fat diet obese mouse models. Mice were randomly divided into the blank control group , acupuncture control group , model control group , and acupuncture treatment group . There were 6 mice in each group . Obese mouse models were induced after 15-week high fat diet . The specific acupoint acupunc-ture therapy was used as an intervention treatment method for 10 days . The enzyme-linked immunosorbent as-say (ELISA) was used in the detection of serum insulin, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor , leptin and the level of nitric oxide in mice . The results showed that the serum insulin , nitric oxide and leptin level in the obese mouse models were increased . However , there were no obvious changes on the vascular endothelial growth factor and soluble vascular endothelial growth fac-tor receptor level . The specific acupoint acupuncture therapy can obviously reduce the level of serum nitric ox-ide and leptin, and improve the content of vascular endothelial growth factor in obese mouse models. However, there were no influence on the level of blood glucose and soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor . It was concluded that the specific acupoint acupuncture therapy method had preferable antiobesity action . Its mechanism of action may be related to the regulation of angiogenesis .

Spotted fever caused by spotted fever group rickettsiae (SFGR) is found throughout China. During 2007—2008, 28 human SFGR isolates and 34 rat SFGR isolates including 15 isolates from Rattus fulvescens, 5 isolates from R.edwardsi, 7 isolates from Callosciurus erythraeus roberti and 7 isolates from Dremomys rufigenis) were obtained from L929 cell culture. Previous research indicated that the 62 strains of SFGR mentioned above shared not only the same serophenotype but also 100% of identity sequences of 16S rRNA, gltA, ompA, groEL and 17KD, which enabled us to apply multispacer typing (MST) to the 62 SFGR isolates in the study. Six primer pairs, which were used for typing of Rickettsia rickettsii and Rickettsia conorii, were chosen, and the results exhibited greater nucleotide polymorphisms among the 62 isolates tested. A total of 48 distinct genotypes were identified. The dominant genotype, represented by h3 isolates, accounted for 21.7% (13/60) of the isolates tested, and the remaining 47 genotypes were all unique. Phylogenetic analysis showed that all the 48 genotypes could be classified in the same clade, while the genetically related strain, R.heilongjiangensis, was close but not the same as the cluster. We concluded that the genetically diverse of spotted fever group rickettsiae strains are endemic in Chengmai County, Hainan Province, China.

AIM: To observe the effect of hypoxia on cardiaomyocytes apoptosis and the role of ALDH2 in the process. METHODS: Cultured cardiomyocytes of neonatal rats were used. Hypoxia was imposed to the cardiomyocytes with or without daidzin pretreatment. ALDH2 activity was measured by the method of acetaldehyde metabolism. Apoptosis was measured by Hoechest 33324 staining, fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) and the DeadEnd~ TM fluorometric TUNEL system. RESULTS: ALHD2 enzyme activity in myocytes was inhibited by daidzin (24 h, 60 ?mol/L) without induction of apoptosis. When exposed to hypoxia, however, the apoptisis was significantly increased in the cells pretreated with daidzin compared to those without the pretreatment. CONCLUSION: The reduction of ALDH2 activity might increase the susceptivity of myocytes to apoptosis following hypoxia, suggesting a protective role of ALDH2 in hypoxia-induced myocardial injury.

Objective To evaluate the incidence and significance of perineural invasion (PNI) in cervical cancer. Methods Retrospective chart review of patients with cervical cancer (stages Ⅰa2-Ⅱb) who underwent radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy from 2007 to 2012. To evaluate the incidence and significance of PNI in cervical and uterine tissues by microscopic examination. Results A total of 238 patients were included, 9.2% (22/238) patients with PNI in the cervical stroma. Patients with PNI were more likely to have adverse histopathologic features, including lymphoma vascular space invasion, parametrical invasion, depth of invasion, tomor size and lymph nodes metastases (all P<0.05). PNI were independent of age, international federation of gynecology and obstetrics (FIGO) stage, histopathology type and grade, and positive vaginal margin (all P>0.05). Patients with PNI had shorter disease-free and overall survival (P=0.002 and P=0.008, respectively). On multivariate analysis, risk factors for recurrence and death included parametrical invasion and depth of invasion (P<0.05). Similarly, risk factors for recurrence included lymph nodes metastases (P=0.024). However, PNI was not identified as an independent risk factor for either recurrence or death (P>0.05). Conclusions PNI exists in early cervical cancer. PNI is associated with tumor size, depth of invasion, parametrical invasion, lymphoma vascular space invasion and lymph nodes metastases. PNI represente a decreasing disease-free and overall survival in patients with early-stage cervical cancer, and is independently associated with multiple high-risk factors, which be informed management decisions regarding adjuvant therapy.

BACKGROUND:Microleakage between restoration, tooth structure and bonding agent can cause the entry of bacteria and liquid in the mouth into the gap, thereby damaging the bonding interface between the restoration and tooth tissues, and leading to bond failure. Microleakage detection can directly show whether the closure of the root canal of post and core system is good or bad. The severity of microleakage directly affects the restorative effects of post and core. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of different root canal cleaning methods on the microleakage between the fiber post and root canal dentin. METHODS: Thirty fresh non-caries premolar posts with free root canalin vitro were randomly divided into five groups, and the root canal wal was respectively washed with saline, 5.25% sodium hypochlorite solution+17% ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA)+saline, 3% hydrogen peroxide solution+5.25% sodium hypochlorite+ saline, 3% hydrogen peroxide solution+2% chlorhexidine solution+saline, and 2% chlorhexidine solution+17% EDTA+saline in different groups. Super-bond C&B adhesive agent was used for bonding fiber post, and the microleakage of each sample was observed under stereomicroscope. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The severity of microleakage in the al groups was ranged as folows: saline group > 3% hydrogen peroxide solution+5.25% sodium hypochlorite+saline group > 5.25% sodium hypochlorite solution+17% EDTA+saline and 3% hydrogen peroxide solution+2% chlorhexidine solution+saline groups > 2% chlorhexidine solution+17% EDTA+saline group.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors of thrombocytopenia in elderly patients with sepsis-associated acute kidney injury(SA-AKI), and to further evaluate whether the degree of thrombocytopenia is related to the increased risk of death on day 28.Methods:Elderly patients with SA-AKI admitted to ICU of our hospital from June 2017 to June 2020 were selected.The patients were divided into normal platelet group(56 cases)and thrombocytopenia group(72 cases)according to the platelet(PLT)count, and according to the degree of thrombocytopenia, they were further divided into three groups: PLT<20×10 9/L(group A, 22 cases), 20×10 9/L≤ PLT<50×10 9/L(group B, 27 cases), 50×10 9/L≤ PLT<100×10 9/L(group C, 23 cases).The general data, clinical baseline indicators and prognostic indicators of each group were compared to evaluate the risk factors of thrombocytopenia.At the same time, the impact of platelet count on the prognosis of elderly patients with SA-AKI was evaluated according to the length of stay in ICU, total length of stay and whether the patient died, and the correlation between the degree of thrombocytopenia and survival was analyzed. Results:A total of 128 elderly patients with SA-AKI were enrolled, including 73 males and 55 females.59.4 % of the patients were hospitalized in the department of internal medicine.The APACHEⅡ score was(15.5 ± 3.3)points, invasive mechanical ventilation accounted for 78.9%, positive inotropic therapy accounted for 12.8%, and 56 patients had normal platelet count.Thrombocytopenia occurred in 72 patients, including 22 patients with PLT<20×10 9/L, 27 patients with platelet count in 20-50×10 9/L, and 23 patients with platelet count in 50-100×10 9/L.There were significant differences in bloodstream infection, Gram-negative bacteria, APACHEⅡ score and procalcitonin(PCT)among the four groups( P<0.05).Further multivariate logistic regression showed that PCT was an independent risk factor for thrombocytopenia in elderly patients with SA-AKI( OR=1.05, 95% CI: 1.00-1.10, P=0.042).Compared with the normal platelet group, the 28-day mortality rate of the thrombocytopenia group was significantly higher than that of the normal platelet group, while the length of stay in ICU and the total length of stay were prolonged( P<0.05).Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that the 28-day cumulative survival rate of thrombocytopenia group was lower than that of normal platelet group, and the risk of death increased with the degree of thrombocytopenia( χ2=31.479, P<0.001).Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that thrombocytopenia, bloodstream infection, APACHEⅡ score and PCT were risk factors for 28-day death in elderly patients with SA-AKI.Multivariate Cox analysis showed that bloodstream infection and APACHEⅡ score were independent risk factors for 28-day death.After adjusting these confounding factors, thrombocytopenia was an independent risk factor for death, and the degree of thrombocytopenia was related to the increased risk of death. Conclusions:Thrombocytopenia is common in elderly patients with SA-AKI, and elevated PCT levels increase the risk of thrombocytopenia.The degree of thrombocytopenia is an independent risk factor for 28-day mortality in such patients.
