Objective To investigate the correlation between epicardial fat thickness (EAT) and the risk factors of coronary artery disease (CAD) as well as the severity of coronary lesions with echocardiography,Methods According to the results of coronary angiography,80 patients underwent coronary angiography were divided into coronary heart disease group (CHD group,4 6 cases) and without coronary heart disease group (control group,34cases),and according to coronary artorrythe severity,CHD goup was divided into subgroups of single-vessel disease (24 cases) and multivessel disease subgroup(22 cases).Tho epioardial fat thickness on the free wall of the right ventricle was measured at end-systole from the para-sterna,long-axis vlews.The relationship between EAT and the risk factors of CAD (such as age,gender,hypercholesterolemia,hypertenston,diabetes,smoking,family CAD history) as well as the severity of coronary lesions were analyzed.Results EAT in multivessel disease CAD group [(8.85 ± 1.44)mm] was significantly higher than that in single vessel CAD group[(6.86 ± 1.09) mm] and control group [(4.58 ± 1.12) mm] (all P ＜ 0.01).EAT was significantly related with the risk factors of CAD.Although the risk factors of CAD such as age,blood glucose,blood pressure were adjusted,EAT was still independently associated with CAD (OR:5.394,95 ％ CI:1.700 ～ 17.1 12,P =0.004).Concluslon The level of EAT is significantly correlated with CAD and the severity of coronary lesions.

Objective To explore the influence of maternal free position combined with duole tools during the first labor stage on birth outcomes.Methods 600 normal pregnant women who were routinely examined in our hospital from May 2016 to December 2016 were selected.They were randomly divided into observation group and control group according to the number of prenatal date of pregnant women,each group in 300 cases.The control group was taken routine supine position in the first labor stage.The observation group used free position with duole tools during the first labor stage.The maternal first labor time,delivery mode,neonatal asphyxia,postpartum hemorrhage,maternal reproductive tract injury were observed.The maternal postpartum within 2 hours,the pain score,maternal childbirth response scale (CCB) and anxiety by comprehensive hospital anxiety and depression table (HAD) were assessed.Results The spontaneous delivery rate and tolerable pain of the observation group were 90.0％(270/300) and 73.7％ (221/300) respectively,which were higher than those of the control group [83.3％(250/300) and 62.0％ (186/300)].The maternal perineum II degree laceration and neonatal asphyxia rates of the observation group were 8.3％(25/300) and 1.7％ (5/300) respectively,which were lower than thsoe of the control group [12.3％(37/300) and 4.3％ (13/300) respectively],the differences were statistically significant(χ2=9.31,9.84,9.05,8.39,all P＜0.05).The maternal first labor time and postpartum hemorrhage of the observation group were (10.87±3.06)h and (121.60±15.11) mL,respectively,which were significantly lower than those of the control group [(11.69±2.48)h and (180.52±14.76)mL],the differences were statistically significant (t=8.92,9.74,all P＜0.05).The HAD score of the observation group was (6.04±1.95)pionts,which was lower than (8.76±1.21)points of the control group.CCB score of the observation group was (49.82±7.61)points,which was higher than (45.33±6.90)points of the control group,the differences were statistically significant (t=10.15,11.32,all P＜0.05).ConclusionTaking the free position with duole tools during maternal first labor stage can improve the natural delivery rate,tolerate pain and postpartum response ability significantly,the first labor stage significantly shortened,postpartum adverse reactions and psychological anxiety decreased.

Objective To observe optic nerve axons degenerative disorder and microglial responses by establishing unilateral optic nerve crush model.Methods YFP mouse group with axonal markers and GFP mouse group with microglia markers were divided into surgery and control group,the optic nerve were dissected at 4 hours,1 day,3 days,5 days,10 days after optic nerve crush,and the neuronal degenerative disorder and microglial responses were observed by confocal laser scanning microscope.Rrsults Compared with control group,the optic nerve axons in YFP mouse group were fractured in injury region at postoperative 4 hours;The partial axon became beadlike change at postoperative 1 day;Most of the axons turned into the process of beadlike change at postoperative 3 days;The axons became to debris from beadlike at postoperative 5 days;The axons changed into many debris at postoperative 10 days.Compared with control group,the formation of glial scar and resting microglia in GFP mouse group began to emerge at postoperative 4 hours;The microglia gradually activated and began to cover the injury region at postoperative 1 day;The activated miacroglia basically covered the injury region at postoperative 3 days;The number of microglia roughly remained stable,although the axons continued to deteriorate at postoperative 5 days and 10 days.Conclusion The optic nerve occur irreversible degenerative disorder after being injured,meanwhile with the microglial increase and activation.This phenomenon suggests that microglia is closely associated with optic nerve degeneration.

BACKGROUND: A middle cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion(MCAO/R) model in rats with suture has been widely used in the researches of acute focal ischemic cerebral infarction, while the model in rabbits by the same method is relatively rare. Magnetic resonance diffusion weighted imaging (MR DWI) has been paid close attention recently for its sharp sensitivity of cerebral ischemia.OBJECTIVE: To establish rabbit models of MCAO/R by intraluminal thread, and study the characteristics of MR DWI after cerebral ischemia and reperfusion.DESIGN: Random controlled animal experiment.SETTING: Institute of Cerebrovascular Diseases, Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University Medical College.MATERIALS: The experiment was accomplished at the Key Laboratory of Brain Diseases Prevention and Cure of Shandong Province from March to June in 2005. A total of 103 adult healthy New Zealand rabbits of either sex, 10-12 weeks old and 1.8-3.3 kg weight were provided by the Experimental Animal Center of Shandong Agricultural Academy (SCX20040013).They were bred at quiet, sanitary and dry conditions.METHODS: Animal groups: 103 rabbits were divided randomly into group A (n=53) and group B (n=50). The rabbits in group A were treated with suture of 0.51-0.55 mm as the diameter of thread, while group B was reassigned into B1 (0.46-0.50 mm), B2 (0.51-0.55 mm) and B3 (0.56-0.60 mm).The successful MCAO/R models in 57 cases were randomly divided into permanent ischemia group (n=30, ischemia 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 andl 48 hours, 5ones at each time point) and ischemic reperfusion group (n=27, reperfusion 0, 2 and 5 hours, 5 ones at each time point; reperfusion 11, 23 and 47hours, 4 ones at each time point). Another 10 rabbits receiving sham operations were regarded as contrasts for permanent ischemia group and ischemia reperfusion group, with 5 ones in each.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The changes of hyperintensity area on DWI and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) were measured in permanent ischemia group and ischemic reperfusion group.RESULTS: The data of 57 successful model rabbits were involved in the result analysis.①The successful rate in group A (26 cases, 49.1%) was significantly lower than that in group B (31 cases, 62.0%).②In ischemia group:The hyperintensity area on DWI with declined ADC appeared at ischemia 1 hour. The hyperintensity areas on DWI at different times increased gradually from ischemia 1 hour and unchanged within 24 hours. The mean ADC at different times declined at first and then gradually increased.③In reperfusion group: Comparing with ischemia 1 hour, the hyperintensity area on DWI reduced while ADC increased at reperfusion 2 hours and 5 hours, and enlarged with ADC high at reperfusion 11 hours, then continued to enlarge with ADC reduced significantly at 23 hours and 47 hours.CONCLUSION: The diameter of thread tip and the inserting distance of thread are main factors for establishing successful MCAO/R models. The hyperintensity area on DWI and the decreasing ADC after acute cerebral ischemia can be improved by early reperfusion, but the secondary decreasing ADC may be induced by continuously reperfusion.

Objective: Surfactant protein A (SP-A) is protein that appears to play an important role in mammalian first-line host defense. The objective of this study was to immunolocalize SP-A in human sinonasal tissue. Method:Eleven cases of allergic rhinitis, fifteen cases of polyp and seven cases of normal middle turbinate were studied with immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence method to detect the expression of SP-A. Result:The expression of SP-A in allergic rhinitis and polyp were dramatically higher than that in controls(P<0.05), and there was no remarkable difference in the expression of SP-A between allergic rhinitis and polyp(P>0.05). The result demonstrated that SP-A was positivly correlated with eosinophils within the basement membrane of epitheli-um(R=0.81,0.55). In the result of immunofluorescence, there was significantly higher expression SP-A in nasal mucosa of allergic rhinitis and nasal polyp than that in control group(P<0.05). Conclusion:SP-A is likely to play key roles in the inflammatory reaction process of allergic rhinitis and polyp. Its secretion in the upper airway indicates that future studies may allow manipulation of this protein and development of novel treatments for sinonasal pathology.

Objective To discuss the effects of silencing of iASPP gene on human bladder cancer cells. Methods RNAi silencing of iASPP gene in bladder cancer cell 5637 and T24 cells were used by lentiviral mediated interfering short hairpin RNAs. Cell proliferation was tested by MTT assay, and rate of colony was tested by colony formation assay. Cell cycles were tested by using fluorescence-activated cell sorting. Results Down-regulation of iASPP could inhibit the growth and proliferation of human bladder cancer cells (P＜0.05). iASPP know-down could decrease the colony formation of 5637 and T24 cells (P＜0, 05). Knocking down of iASPP in 5637 and T24 cells showed cell arrested at G1. Conclusions Silencing of iASPP gene could inhibit proliferation and colony formation of bladder cancer, iASPP might be an important target for gene therapy of bladder cancer.

Objective To investigate the stimulating effect of exogenous hydrogen sulfide (H2S) on angiogenesis in glioblastoma (GBM). Methods Twenty adult Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into two groups, glioma group (C6 glioma cell intracerebral implantation, n=10) and glioma-H2S group (C6 glioma cell intracerebral implantation and sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) intraperitoneal injection, n=10). The tumor-bearing rat model was established by intracerebral injection of rat C6 glioma cells. After one week, normal saline was injected in glioma group and NaHS was injected in glio-ma-H2S group. Food and water were freely available during all phases of the experiment. After three weeks, rats were decapi-tated and brains were removed. HE staining was performed to show tumor structure and intratumoral angiogenesis. The immu-nohistochemical analysis was used to detect the expressions of CD34 and MMP-2, respectively. The microvessel density (MVD) in GBM was also measured. Results HE staining showed that the implanted tumors were predominantly spheroid with clear border and no capsule could be detected. The neovascular proliferations were observed in tumors. There were high-er expressions of CD34 and MMP-2 in glioma-H2S group. The value of MVD was significantly higher in glioma-H2S group than that of glioma group (P＜0.01). Conclusion Exogenous H2S serves as a stimulator of angiogenesis in the development of rat GBM, which may be related with the increased MMP-2 expression promoted by H2S.
