Objective: To explore the early diaghostic value of thyroid hormone level in patients with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. Methods: Our work included 4 groups:①Normal control group, n=40,②Impaired left ventricular diastolic function
group, n=40,③Failure of left ventricular diastolic function group, n=41 and④Impaired left ventricular systolic function group, n=40. The cardiac function was assessed by color Doppler lfow imaging and tissue Doppler imaging for the early diastolic mitral lfow velocity (E), the peak early diastolic mitral annular velocity (Em) and the ratio of E/Em. The blood levels of NT-proBNP and FT3, FT4, TSH, rT3 were examined in clinical laboratory.
Results: Blood levels of FT3 and rT3 were different in pair wise comparison among 4 groups, P<0.05, and FT4 and NT-proBNP were different in pair wise comparison among 4 groups, except for Normal control group and Impaired left ventricular diastolic function group, P<0.05. The TSH level was similar among 4 groups, P>0.05. The ratio of E/Em was negatively related to FT3 (r=-0.724, P<0.05) and FT4 (r=-0.49, P<0.05), while positively related to rT3 (r=0.87, P<0.05) and NT-proBNP (r=0.83, P<0.05).
Conclusion: The changes of thyroid hormone level may exist in patients with impaired diastolic function and it may vary with the severity of the cardiac dysfunction. Blood levels of NT-proBNP with thyroid hormone might be used as a reference index for early diagnosis of diastolic dysfunction.

Whole mount in situ hybridization with BHC80 RNA probe showed that BHC80 was expressed in zebrafish central nervous system. Morpholino-modified antisense oligonucleotide was injected into zebrafish zygotes to knock down BHC80 expression. BHC80 knockdown resulted in striking decrease of erythrocytes and accumulation of erythrocytes at PBI. Further investigation of embryonic erythrocytes marker βe3 globin and hematopoiesis transcription factors gata1, c-myb and lmo2 by in situ hybridization showed that the erythroid progenitors marked with gata1 in BHC80 knockdown embryos were high proliferation and their differentiation were delayed, which led to decrease of erythrocytes and accumulation of erythrocytes at PBI. Both in situ hybridization and microangiography indicated that vasculature pattern of BHC80 knockdown embryos were almost normal.

Aim To investigate the periphery analge-sic effect of myricetin on a rat model of inflammatory pain and the mechanism. Methods Rat models of in-flammatory pain were induced by complete Freund ’ s adjuvant ( CFA) injection in left hindlimb plantar cen-ter. The thermal withdrawal latency ( TWL) was meas-ured before and after CFA or myricetin treatment. Elec-trophysiological method was used to identify the effect of myricetin on the action potential frequency and the voltage dependent potassium channel currents in small DRG neurons. Results Rats with CFA injected showed thermal hyperalgesia ( P <0. 05 ) and TWL in-creased significantly after myricetin intraperitoneally in-jected ( P <0. 05 ) . Current clamp recording showed the action potential frequency of small DRG neurons in rats was inhibited by myricetin ( P<0. 01 ) and voltage calmap recording showed the inhibitory effect of myr-icetin was enhanced by calcium depended potassium channel currents ( P<0. 05 ) . Conclusion Myricetin exerts periphery analgesic effect by enhancing calcium depended potassium channel currents and inhibiting excitability of small neurons of dorsal root ganglion.
