Objective To establish the model of myocardial infarction by ligation of the left anterior descending branch in rats.Method Adult inbred strain Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham group(n=6) and model groups(n=79).Model of myocardial infarction were established by ligation of the left anterior descending branch.The electrocardiogram(ECG),HE staining tissue sections,and heart function of the rats were compared in the two groups.Results Rats in the model group had showed special changes of ST-T and Q wave in ECG,show serious necrosis of myocytes and proliferation of fibrous tissue compared with rats in the sham group.The left ventricular systolic pressure(LVSP),left ventricular develop pressure(LVDP),?dp/dt_(max),heart rate(HR) were significantly decreased in the rats of model group than those of the sham group(P

ObjectiveTo report the results of preventive control program of severe thalassemias in Zhuhai City of Guangdong Province from 1998 to 2010.MethodsAs the guide centre of marriage and childbearing and the greatest maternity hospital in Zhuhai City of Guangdong Province,Zhuhai Municipal Maternity and Child Healthcare Hospital constructed the genetic screening network for thalassemias testing and referred for follow-up and for genetic counseling.The couples for premarital medical examination or regular healthcare examination in pregnancy were enrolled to this preventive control program.A conventional strategy of screening for heterozygote was used to identify the α- and β-thalassemia traits in women and their spouses according to the standard procedures of hematological phenotype analysis which was recommended by Thalassemia International Federation (T IF).Then those suspected couples at risk were diagnosed for α- and β-thalassemia by PCR-based DNA assays.The couples at risk for severe thalassemias were counseled and offered prenatal diagnosis and termination of pregnancy in case of an affected fetus in the rights of consent and of option voluntarily.ResultsFrom January 1998 to December 2010,85 522 brides and grooms-to-be for premarital screening and 41 503 pregnant women in addition to 14 141 partners for prenatal screening were recorded,the covering rates of premarital screening and prenatal screening in the city were 92.698％ (from 1998 to 2003) and 27.667％ (from 2004 to 2010),respectively.Totally 10 726 cases were found to be the carriers of thalassemias,with 7393 for o-thalassemia (5.237％,7 393/141 166) and 3333 for β-thalassemia (2.361％,3 333/141 166).A total of 257 couples at-risk for severe thalassemias were detected including 190 for α-thalassemia and 67 for β-thalassemia.Among them,251 (97.7％,251/257) couples were performed prenatal diagnosis.During the preventive control program,a total of 72 fetuses with severe thalassemias including hemoglobin H disease were voluntarily terminated.In Zhuhai City,the average annual birth rate of fetuses with severe thalassemia was declined by 32.9％ (49/149).ConclusionsThis study has reduced effectively birth rate of perinatal infants with severe thalassemias in Zhuhai City by genetic screening and prenatal diagnosis of thalassemia in the large population of 13 years.Our summary comes out of technical proposals for prenatal screening and diagnosis,which could be take example by preventative control of thalassemia in other regions of China where are prevalent.

OBJECTIVE:To develop a method for rapid,accurate and simultaneous determination of dexzopiclone,zolpidam and zaleplon in human plasma. METHODS:After the plasma sample was processed by liquid-liquid extraction,UPLC-MS/MS was established to detect plasma sample with carbamazepine as internal standard. The separation was performed on a Waters ACQUITY UPLC HSS T3 column with mobile phase composed of 0.1% ammonium solution-acetonitrile (gradient elution) at flow rate of 0.2 ml/min. The column temperature was set at 40 ℃,and sample size was 5 μl. The detection was performed by multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) via electrospray ionization (ESI) source in positive mode. The mass transition ion-pairs were as follows:m/z 308.2→263.1(zolpidem),m/z 389.3→245.0(dexzopiclone),m/z 306.2→236.1(zaleplon),m/z 237.3→151.2(internal standard). RE-SULTS:The linear range of zolpidem,dexzopiclone and zaleplon were 0.02-20.00,0.50-20.00,0.02-20.00 ng/ml,respectively (r=0.990 1,0.996 8,0.991 7). LLOQ of them were 0.02,0.50,0.02 ng/ml,and detection limit were 0.01,0.20,0.01 ng/ml. RS-Ds of intra-day and inter-day were all lower than 15% ;extraction recovery were 88.9% -106.5% ;matrix effect were 94.8%-106.3%. CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple,rapid,sensitive and specific,and it can be used for simultaneous deter-mination of zaleplon,zolpidem and dexzopiclone in human plasma.

From March 2015 to February 2018, 4 728 women aged 18 to 45 years old with single?pregnancy at the gestational age of 13 to 27 weeks in Hefei were recruited to analyze the trend of vitamin D status. The average levels of serum 25(OH)D in 2015, 2016 and 2017 were (43.22±18.41) nmol/L, (39.3±15.1) nmol/L and (36.6±17.0) nmol/L, and the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency were 69.5%, 77.6% and 81.4%, respectively. Compared with 2015, the levels of serum 25(OH)D in pregnant women in 2016 and 2017 decreased by 5.23 (95%CI: 4.10-6.35) nmol/L and 7.98 (95%CI: 6.77-9.19) nmol/L. The OR (95%CI) values for the risk of vitamin D deficiency were 1.88 (95%CI : 1.57-2.24) and 2.41 (95%CI : 1.98-2.93).

Vitamin D deficiency is common in pregnant women, and it is associated with multiple gestational complications, fetal intrauterine dysplasia, and maternal and infant health in postpartum period. Vitamin D involved in lipid metabolism may affect maternal-fetal health during pregnancy through this biological pathway. This review provides an overview of three main aspects, including, the effect of vitamin D on the mechanism of lipid metabolism, the relationship between vitamin D and lipid metabolites in pregnant women and women with pregnancy complications. An association between vitamin D status and lipid metabolism at different stages of pregnancy has been justified in most current studies, and the underlying mechanism has also been partly elucidated. Given some gestational complications, such as gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia, pregnant women with these conditions are often associated with abnormal lipid metabolism and vitamin D deficiency. There is no doubt that the studies on the vitamin D supplementation and lipid metabolism improvement could have crucial clinical significance for this population. More randomized controlled trials with multi-center, large sample and multi-dose interventions are needed in the future to provide scientific evidence for clinical practice.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of minimally invasive surgery and traditional surgery in the treatment of multiple benign mammary lumps.Methods A retrospective study was conducted to select 158 patients with multiple benign breast masses admitted to Yijishan Hospital of Wannan Medical College from July 2016 to February 2018,all of them were female,average age was (28.3 ± 6.6) years old,range from 19 to 51 years old.The patients were divided into minimally invasive group (n =122) and traditional group (n =36) according to different surgical methods.The minimally invasive group was treated by minimally invasive rotary excision,while the traditional group was treated by traditional surgery.The operation time,number of incisions,average length of incisions,cumulative length of incisions and healing time of incisions were compared between the two groups.The incidence of local hematoma,local infection,breast deformity and local residual were compared after operation,and the satisfaction of the two groups was aslo compared.Normal distribution measurements were expressed by mean ± standard deviation (Mean ± SD),independent sample t test was used for inter-group comparison;non-normal distribution measurements were expressed by median (quartile spacing) [M(P25,P75)],Mann-Whitney U test was used for inter-group comparison.Chi-square test or Fisher exact probability test was used to compare the count data between the two groups.Results As compared to the traditional group,the minimally invasive group had shorter operation time (20.0 min vs 40.0 min,Z =-8.590,P ＜ 0.001),less number of incisions (1.0 vs 2.0,Z =-4.423,P ＜0.001),smaller average surgical incision length (3.8 mm vs 35.5 mm,Z =-9.211,P ＜ 0.001),smaller cumulative surgical incision length (4.0 mm vs 67.2 mm,Z =-9.130,P ＜ 0.001),quicker postoperative recovery (4.0 d vs 7.0 d,Z =-9.334,P ＜ 0.001).There were no significant differences between the two groups in incidence of postoperative hematoma (4.1％ vs 2.8％,x2 =0.000,P =1.000),incidence of infection (0 vs 2.8％,P =0.228),incidence of postoperative breast shape change (1.6％ vs 2.8％,x2 =0.000,P =1.000),and incidence of residual (0.8％ vs 0,P =1.000).Psychological satisfaction of patients in minimally invasive group (95.1％) was significantly higher than that in traditional group (58.3％),the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.001).Conclusions Compared with traditional surgery,the application of minimally invasive surgery in the treatment of multiple benign mammary lumps has many advantages,such as shorter operation time,less number of incisions,smaller surgical incision length,quicker postoperative recovery and higher satisfaction of patients after operation.It has not significantly increased postoperative complications.It is worthy of clinical application and promotion.
