Objective To investigate the curative efficacy of sodium phosphocreatine combined with amin-ophylline in the treatment of postpartum hypertensive heart failure.Methods 80 patients with postpartum hyperten-sive heart failure were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group equally by random number table method,40 cases in each group.The control group was given conventional treatment,such as oxygen inhalation, diuresis by furosemide,strengthening heart by cedilanid,vascular dilation by nitroglycerin,keeping water -electrolyte balance and so on.Besides that,the observation group was given sodium phosphocreatine in combination with amin-ophylline.Then,the curative efficacy,changes of blood pressure,indices of cardiac function and adverse reactions were compared.Results The total effective rate of the observation group was 95.0%,which was higher than 80.0% of the control group(χ2 =4.1 1 ,P <0.05).After treatment,SBP,DBP,LVEDD,LVESD,LVEF in the control group and the observation group were (1 25.7 ±6.5)mmHg vs (1 20.1 ±7.2)mmHg(t =3.651 ),(88.4 ±8.9)mmHg vs (81 .4 ± 9.0)mmHg(t =3.498),(64.0 ±6.8)mm vs (61 .3 ±6.2)mm(t =2.268),(53.7 ±6.3)mm vs (51 .0 ±5.6)mm (t =2.461 ),(38.6 ±9.0)% vs (42.5 ±8.7)%(t =2.476),respectively.In comparison with the control group, SBP[(1 25.7 ±6.5)mmHg vs.(1 20.1 ±7.2)mmHg],DBP[(88.4 ±8.9)mmHg vs.(81 .4 ±9.0)mmHg], LVEDD[(64.0 ±6.8)mm vs.(60.7 ±6.2)mm],LVESD[(53.2 ±5.3)mm vs.(50.2 ±5.6)mm]were signifi-cantly reduced and LVEF[(38.6 ±9.0)% vs.(42.5 ±8.7)%]was significantly increased in the observation group (t =3.651 ,3.498,2.268,2.461 ,2.476,all P <0.05).During the treatment,there was no severe adverse reaction. Conclusion Sodium phosphocreatine combined with aminophylline is effective for postpartum hypertensive heart fail-ure,which can significantly increase curative efficacy,decrease blood pressure and improve cardiac function with less adverse reactions.

Mitochondrial DNA mutations are one of the most important causes of sensorineural hearing loss. A1555G and C1494T mutations of mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene are the molecular basis for aminoglycoside hyper- sensitivity and can lead to aminoglycoside-induced hearing loss. Primary mutations in tRNA such as tRNA(Ser(UCN))7472insC are associated with syndromic hearing loss. While other mutations such as tRNA"(Se(UCN) )G7444A were considered synergy with the primary RNA mutations, modulating the phenotypic manifestation. This review de- scribes a detailed summary of hearing loss associated with mtDNA mutations and/or aminoglycoside antibiotics, and provides the possible molecular mechanisms in deafness expression.

Objective To investigate the safety and effectiveness of using low-profile visualized intraluminal support (LVIS) stents for the treatment of aneurysms in the small intracranial vessels (diameter <2.5 mm).Methods Between October 2014 and April 2016,the clinical data of all 30 patients with intracranial saccular aneurysm treated with LVIS stents with the small parent arteries <2.5 mm in diameter in Changhai Hospital,the Second Military Medical University were analyzed retrospectively,including 7 ruptured aneurysms and 23 unruptured aneurysms.The anterior circulation aneurysm accounted for 93.3% (n=28),and the diameters of the parent arteries were 1.6-2.4 mm.The complications associated with surgery,angiography,clinical outcomes,and mid-term follow-up data were analyzed.Results The success rate of stent implantation was 100%.Immediate embolization results:Raymond grade Ⅰ in 12 cases (40.0%),Raymond grade Ⅱ in 11 cases (36.7%),and Raymond grade Ⅲ in 7 cases (23.3%).Complications occurred in 2 cases,including one perforating artery occlusion and one intraoperative rupture.Twenty-five patients accepted the angiographic follow-up (Raymond grade Ⅰ in 21 cases,grade Ⅱ in 3 cases,and grade Ⅲ in 1 case).The follow-up time ranged from 4 to 14 months,with an average of 8.1± 2.6 months.One patient had asymptomatic intracranial artery stenosis in the distal end of the stent.No new neurological dysfunction or death occurred.Conclusion The deployment of LVIS stents in small vessels is safe and feasible,the effect of mid-term follow-up is better.However,a larger sample study and long-term follow-up results are needed.

Objective To evaluate the coronary microvascular dysfunction in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy(HCM) by MR first-pass perfusion and late gadolinium enhancement. Methods From January 2011 to May 2015, 47 cases with HCM (HCM group) from the second affiliated hospital of Nanchang University were retrospectively analyzed. Additionally, 21 healthy volunteers were recruited as the control group. HCM group and control group underwent cardiac MR examinations at rest, including short axial cine, first-pass myocardial perfusion and late gadolinium enhancement scanning. Time to peak(tpeak), maximal upslope of time-intensity curve(Slopemax), peak signal intensity(SIpeak), myocardial thickening, and late myocardial gadolinium enhancement(LGE) were assessed for each myocardial segment. HCM group were divided into LGE segments group and non-LGE segments group. LGE segments group were divided into mild, moderate and severe LGE segments group. The SIpeak, Slopemax and tpeak in multiple groups were compared by one-way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis test. Spearman correlation tests were used to determine the relationships between perfusion parameter and LGE. Results The average values of tpeak in non-LGE segments group (527 segments), LGE segments group (225 segments) and control group (336 segments) were (67.0 ± 27.4), (79.4 ± 27.4), (59.7 ± 21.6)s, respectively. The average values of Slopemax in the three groups were 17.2±7.0, 16.4±7.4, 20.4±6.3, respectively. The average values of SIpeak in the three groups were 442.7 ± 143.2, 465.1 ± 138.4, 521.9 ± 146.7, respectively. Compared to the control group, tpeak increased and Slopemax, SIpeak decreased in non-LGE segments group and LGE segments group (P<0.01), while tpeak increased more significantly in LGE segments group. The Slopemax and SIpeak showed no statistically significant differences between non-LGE segments group and LGE segments group (P>0.05). There were significant differences among LGE segments groups, as the tpeak and SIpeak increased with increasing degrees of myocardial LGE (P<0.01). The Slopemax showed no statistically significant difference among them (P>0.05). The degree of LGE were positively correlated with tpeak (r=0.237, P<0.01). Conclusions 3.0 T magnetic resonance myocardial perfusion imaging can show microvascular dysfunction accurately and reliably in non-LGE segments. It may be helpful in the early diagnosis of coronary microvascular dysfunction for HCM.
