Objective To observe the perioperative myocardial protection of high-dose atorvastatin to acute coronary syndrome(ACS) patients during percutaneous coronary artery interventional therapy(PCI).Methods One hundred and twenty patients with ACS undergoing elective PCI were divided into group A and group B with different oral dose of atorvastatin ( 80 mg/d and 20 mg/d ) for 3 days before operation by random digits table. Troponin I (cTnI), creatine kinase isozyme MB (CK-MB), high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin (IL)-6 levels were measured before operation, 6 hours, 12 hours after operation and total cholesterol (TC), triglyeride (TG), low desity lipeprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high density lipeprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels were measured before operation and 3 days after operation.Results cTnI,CK-MB,hs-CRP and IL-6 levels in the two groups were increased significandy 6 hours and 12 hours after operation (P <0.05). Six hours after operation, cTnI and CK-MB levels in group A were significantly lower than those in group B [(0.35±0. 18 ) μg/L vs. (0.48±0. 16 ) μg/L, ( 3.78±0.45 )μg/Lvs. (4.56±0.55 )μg/L] (P < 0.05 ). Twelve hours after operation , hs-CRP and IL-6 levels in group A were significantly lower than those in group B [(4.53±0.98 ) mg/L vs. (7.03±0.88 ) mg/L, ( 30.6±11.2) ng/L vs.(43.8±12.1) ng/L] (P <0.05). TC, TG, LDL-C, HDL-C levels in the two groups did not change significantly before and after operation (P >0.05). Conclusions Myocardial protective effects of ACS patients treated with atorvastatin 80 mg/d for 3 days are better than those treated with oral atorvastatin 20 mg/d. High-dose atorvastatin can produce more beneficial effects.

Objective To find the changes of haemagglutination inhibition ( HI ) antibody level against A/California/07/2009 (H1N1) within one month after pandemic A/H1N1 influenza vaccine (A/H1N1InfV) vaccination, and to provide data for drawing up immunization protocols against novel influenza . Methods The HI antibodies against A/California/07/2009 (H1N1) in sera from the inoculated subjects were tested by HI test .The geometric mean titer ( GMT) , geometric mean increase ( GMI) , seroconversion (SC) rate, seroprotection (SP) rate of HI antibodies were compared among the sera collected on day 3, 7, 14, 30 post vaccination .Results 961 participants were injected with A/H1N1InfV.In subjects aged 3 to 11 years, the antibody level peaked on day 14 post vaccination, but neither on day 14 nor on day 30, the lower bound of the two -sided 95%CI for the SP rate could fulfill the criteria of the FDA for influenza vac-cine.In subjects aged 12 to 60 years, the antibody level peaked on day 14 post vaccination and the SC rate , SP rate and GMI fulfilled the criteria of the European Medicines Agency ( EMEA) and the FDA for influenza vaccine. In subjects aged more than 60 years, the antibody level peaked on day 30 post vaccination , and the SC rate, SP rate and GMI on day 30 fulfilled the criteria of the EMEA and the FDA .Conclusion One dose A/H1N1InfV vaccination was able to induce enough protection on day 14 for subjects aged 12 to 60 years, on day 30 for subjects aged more than 60 years;however , for subjects aged 3 to 11 years who were antibody-negative at baseline , the lower bound of the two-sided 95%CI for the SP rate on day 14 and day 30 couldn′t fulfill the criteria of the FDA for influenza vaccine .

ObjectiveTo introduction of perforator flaps,muscle flaps pedicled by descending branch of lateral circumflex femoral artery,method and their clinical application that multiple soft tissue defects of hand are repaire by muliplefoliated tissue flap only branch lateral circumflex femoral artery.MethodsFifteen patients with multiple soft tissue defects of hand were repaired muliplefoliated tissue flap only pedicled bydescending branch lateral circumflex femoral artery.At first,the anterolateral thigh perforator flap was designed and harvested according to the soft tissue defects of hand, then the descending branch lateral circumflex femoral artery was dissected at the same time the segmented perforator flap,fascia lata flap,rectus femoris muscle flap, vastus lateralis muscle flap, vastus intermedius muscle flap and distal spatium intermusculare flap were harvested in need according to distance among soft tissue defects.The muliplefoliated tissue flap was harvested only pedicled by descending branch lateral circumflex femoral artery, at last muscle flaps and fascia lata flaps were covered by skin graft, so the multiple soft tissue defects of hand were repaired in one time.ResultsNo vascular crisis happened. All skin grafts survived well, the contour of all repaired soft tissue defects was good and protective feeling was recovered by skin grafts of all flaps. All cases were got follow-up and the range was from 6 to 20 months(the average was 8.7 months).Wound of donor site healed well, muscle strength of quadriceps and motion of knee were normal. Three cases were excellent,nine cases were well and 3 cases were good, according to upper extremity function evaluation criteria of Chinese Medical Society for the Surgery of the Hand, the rate of good was 80 percent.ConclusionMultiple soft tissue defects of hand can be repaired by muliplefoliated flap only pedicled by descending branch of lateral circumflex femoral artery. Its advantages included reduction of operation time and treatment, good recovery of hand contour and function. It is a good method to repair multiple soft tissue defects of hand.

Objective To investigate the management and control of hypertension in patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD) and its associated factors.Methods Data of 726in-patients with CKD and hypertension who hospitalized in our hospital from March 2009 to April 2010 were studied.Results 91.74％ of patients was treated with antihypertensive medications,and 21.21％, 22.59％, 19.56％, 28.37％ of patients received 1, 2, 3, ≥4 antihypertensive drugs,respectively.42.4％ of patients with CKD and hypertension could be controlled up to the standard,and the mean blood pressure was(137.86±20.75)/(76.30±11.35) mm Hg.There was significant difference among stage 1 plus 2, 3, 4 plus 5 (non-dialysis), 5 (dialysis) kidney diseases, with the hypertension control rate being 50.8％, 46.7％, 42.0％, 33.5％, respectively.The hypertension control rate of non-dialysis patients was significantly higher than that of dialysis (44.9％ vs 33.5％,P＜0.05).There was no significant difference between blood dialysis group and peritoneal dialysis group(32.3％ vs 38.7％, P＞0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that female (OR=1.787, 95％CI 1.045-3.056)and ACEI application (OR=4.378, 95％CI1.830-10.472) were positively associated with hypertension control.Whereas, diabetes (OR=0.415, 95％CI 0.188-0.919)and pulse pressure (OR =0.847, 95％ CI 0.811-0.885) were associated with inadequate blood pressure control.ConclusionsDespite almost universal hypertension treatment is used in patients with CKD and high blood pressure, the hypertension control rate is still suboptimal.Female and ACEI are positively associated with adequate hypertension control, whereas diabetes and pulse pressure are negatively associated with the standard.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC) is a metastatic carcinoma that is highly prevalent in Southeast Asia. Our laboratory has previously demonstrated that the C-terminal 27-kDa polypeptide of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERTC27) inhibits the growth and tumorigenicity of human glioblastoma and melanoma cells. In this study, we investigated the antitumor effect of hTERTC27 in human C666-1 NPC cells xenografted in a nude mouse model. A cocktail of vectors comprising recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) and recombinant adenovirus (rAdv) that each carry hTERTC27 (rAAV-hTERTC27 and rAdv-hTERTC27; the cocktail was abbreviated to rAAV/rAdv-hTERTC27) was more effective than either rAAV-hTERTC27 or rAdv-hTERTC27 alone in inhibiting the growth of C666-1 NPC xenografts. Furthermore, we established three tumors on each mouse and injected rAAV/rAdv-hTERTC27 into one tumor per mouse. Although hTERTC27 expression could only be detected in the injected tumors, reduced tumor growth was observed in the injected tumor as well as the uninjected tumors, demonstrating that the vector cocktail could provoke an antitumor effect on distant, metastasized tumors. Further studies showed the observed antitumor effects included inducing necrosis and apoptosis and reducing microvessel density. Together, our data suggest that the rAAV/rAdv-hTERTC27 cocktail can potently inhibit NPC tumor growth in both local and metastasized tumors and should be further developed as a novel gene therapy strategy for NPC.

BACKGROUND: MAVERIC (Mitral Valve Repair Clinical Trial) validates the safety and efficacy of the ARTO system. We here report the first two successful cases of utilizing the ARTO system in patients with symptomatic heart failure (HF) with functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) in Asia. METHODS: Two patients, aged 70 and 63, had severe HF with FMR. Transesophageal echocardiography confirmed that the left ventricular ejection fractions were less than 50% with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) in both patients. Optimizing drug treatment could not mitigate their symptoms. Therefore, we used the ARTO system to repair the mitral valve for these patients on March 5 and 6, 2019, respectively. RESULTS: Mitral valve repairs using the ARTO system were successfully performed under general anaesthesia for these two patients. MR was decreased immediately after the procedures in both patients. The 30-day and 3-month transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) revealed a moderate to severe MR in both patients, and the New York Heart Association (NYHA) scales were also partially improved. CONCLUSION The first two cases in Asia indicate that the ARTO system is feasible for patients with heart failure with FMR, and the patient selection appears to be crucial.

Objective:To explore the efficacy difference of two different routes of intracoronary verapamil on no-reflow phe-nomenon during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial in-farction (STEMI) .Methods :From January 2009 to December 2012 ,141 STEMI patients with no-reflow phenomenon during e-mergency PCI who received the manual intracoronary bolus infusion of verapamil were selected .According to the routes of in-tracoronary verapamil ,patients were divided into guiding catheter group (n=67) and selective catheter group (n=74) .The coronary perfusion level ,the ECG ST-segment resolution ,left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and major adverse cardiac events in 30 days post-PCI were compared .Results:There were no statistically significant differences in general datum of the two groups and the average dose of intracoronary infusion verapamil (P>0 .05) .The level of cTFC in the the selective catheter group was significantly lower than that in the guiding catheter group (P<0 .05) .More patients restored the TIMI-3 flow after drug infusion in selective catheter group than guiding catheter group (P<0 .05) .The proportion of complete ST-segment reso-lution after PCI in the selective catheter group was significantly higher than that in guiding catheter group (P<0 .05) .No sta-tistically significant differences were found in LVEF and incidence of major adverse cardiac events during 30 days between the two groups (both P>0 .05) .Conclusions :The intracoronary verapamil through selective catheter can reverse no-reflow phe-nomenon more effectively than through guiding catheter during emegency PCI for STEMI .

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of serumal retinol-binding protein 4(RBP4) level fro fetal macrosomia of non-diabetic pregnant women .Methods :The serumal levels of RBP4 of 500 non-diabetic pregnant women at 12 week ,20 week and 24 week of pregnancy were measured by immune projection turbidimetric method .Fetal macrosomia was defined as birth weight≥4000 g .The cut-off value ,sensitivity and specificity were calculated with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve .Results:Of the 500 non-diabetic pregnant women ,30 cases(6% ) got fetal macrosomia .The ROC curve showed that the predictive cut-off values of RBP4 at 12 week ,20 week and 24 week of pregnancy were 61 .0 mg/L ,50 .5 mg/L and 52 .5 mg/L , respectively ;the predictive sensitivity and specificity at 12 week ,20 week and 24 week of pregnancy were 42 .9% and 94 .5% , 70 .0% and 69 .5% ,76 .9% and 73 .2% ,respectively .The predictive cut-off value of RBP4 no later than 24 week of pregnancy was 51 .5 mg/L ;the predictive sensitivity and specificity were 61 .8% and 69 .5% .There was significant difference(P<0 .05) between the serumal level of RBP4 at 24 week of pregnancy in group fetal macrosomia and that in group nonfetal macrosomia . Conclusions :The predictive sensitivity of RBP4 increases in accordance with the increase of serumal level of RBP 4 .The serumal level of RBP4 of non-diabetic pregnant women at 24 week of pregnancy may have higher sensitivity and specificity in the predic-tion of fetal macrosomia .If the serumal level of RBP4 no later than 24 week of pregnancy is beyond 50 mg/L ,then the risk of fetal macrosomia will be higher .
