Objective To investigate the variation of lipid profile in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) of different age groups.Methods Total 1214 patients of AMI were admitted to our hospital from May 2007 to July 2011.The age of patients ranged 40-89 years,and patients were divided into 5 age groups with 10-years step.Differences in lipid levels were observed by using pair-wise comparison among different age groups.Results Pair-wise comparisons among different age groups indicated that TC levels were higher in 40-69 years age groups [(4.71 ± 1.08),(4.80 ± 1.30),(4.69 ± 1.03) mmol/L,respectively] than those in the 70-89 age groups [(4.41 ± 0.96),(4.38 ± 1.03) mmol/L],all P ＜ 0.05(t values were 2.381,2.323,4.382,3.965,3.317,3.096).TG levels among three age groups ＜ 59 years had no significant difference,which were higher than those in groups over 60 years.Among 50-89 years age groups,TG gradually reduced with increase of age.HDL levels were lower in 40-59 years age groups [(1.03 ± 0.23),(1.05 ± 0.26) mmol/L,respectively] than those in 60-89 years age groups [(1.11 ±0.28),(1.11±0.28),(1.16±0.34) mmol/L,respectively],allP＜0.05 (t values were-2.777,-2.789,-3.731,-2.543,-2.566,-3.644).Total cholesterol (TC) (r =-0.123,P ＜0.01),lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) (r =-0.139,P ＜ 0.01) and triglyceride (TG) (r =-0.287,P ＜0.01) were negatively but high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) (r =0.125,P ＜ 0.01) was positively correlated with age of patients.TC levels in female patients were higher than those in male patients in 50-89 years age groups; LDL levels in female patients were higher than those in male patients in 50-69 years age groups and HDL levels in female patients were higher than those in male patients in 40-79 years age groups (all P ＜ 0.05,t values were-2.878,-3.007,-3.352,-3.333).Conclusions Results show that the non-elderly AMI patients (＜60 years) have higher levels of TC,LDL and TG,and lower level of HDL than the elderly patients; the TC,LDL and HDL levels are higher in female AMI patients than those in male patients at the same age groups.

Objective To investigate the effect of heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF) on mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis in rats with neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).Methods Sprague-Dawley neonatal rats were randomly divided into three groups with ten in each.NEC group rats were formula fed,and hypoxia exposed by 100％ N2 for 90 s and cold stress at 4 ℃ for 10 min twice a day for three days.Additionally,rats in HB-EGF group received HB-EGF 800μg/kg by gavage four times a day for three days.Rats in control group were given breast milk feeding for three days without any interventions.Seventy-two hours after born,all neonatal rats were sacrificed after fasting for 12 h,from which the terminal ileum was removed.HE-staining was done for histologic evaluation.Mitochondrial ultrastructure was observed under electron microscopy.Cytochrome C was detected by immunohistochemical analysis and apoptosis inducing factor (AIF) and apoptotic protease activating factor-1 (APAF-1) were measured by Western blot.Analysis of variance and q-test were used to compare the difference among groups.Results (1) The incidence of NEC in HB-EGF group was lower than that in NEC group (2/10 vs 9/10,x2 =7.27,P＜0.01).(2) In NEC group,mitochondria in epithelial cells and muscle cells of intestine were significantly swelling,appearing many electron-lucent zones in matrix.Ultrastructure of mitochondria were severely damaged.In HB-EGF group,mitochondria were less swelling and showed milder damage than those in NEC group.(3) The expression of cytochrome C in ileal tissue in NEC group was higher than that in control group (0.030±0.018 vs 0.002±0.001,q=6.15,P＜0.01).The expression of cytoehrome C in ileal tissue in HB-EGF group was lower than that in NEC group (0.014±0.018 vs 0.030±0.018,q=3.53,P＜0.05).The expression of APAF-1 and AIF in NEC group was higher than those in control group (1.364±0.299 vs 0.215±0.033,q=15.31,P＜0.05;0.181±0.050 vs0.127±0.045,q=3.71,P＜0.05).Compared to NEC group,the expression of APAF-1 was lower (0.455±0.123 vs 1.364±0.299,q=4.04,P＜0.05) and the expression of AIF was higher (0.289±0.045 vs 0.181±0.050,q=7.32,P＜0.05) in HB-EGF group.Conclusions HB-EGF could reduce the incidence of NEC in neonatal rats by inhibiting the mitochondrial pathway related apoptosis through down regulation of APAF-1.

Objective To investigate the common pathogens of neonatal bacterial meningitis in the past 5 years,and to evaluate the brain injury in the acute phase through amplitude-integrated electroencephalogram (aEEG),brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) and brain MRI.Methods Sixty children were selected from the past 5 years who were treated in Department of Neonatology,Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center in March 2011 to March 2015 as the objects of study.According to the results of etiological culture,the children were divided into streptococcus lactis group (14 cases),escherichia coli group (10 cases),other positive bacteria group (11cases) and culture-negative group (25 cases).The results of aEEG,BAEP and brain MRI of brain injury in the acute phase of these 4 groups were compared.Results Twenty-nine cases of the 60 patients (48.3％) showed positive blood culture,and 14 cases (23.3％) showed positive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) culture.Streptococcus lactics and escherichia coli were found to be the most common pathogens that caused neonatal bacterial meningitis.By evaluating the cerebral function in the acute phase of 57 cases,it was found that aEEG total abnormal rate was 61.4％,escherichia coli group abnormal rate was 80.0％,while moderate to severe damage seemed to be the most remarkable feature.The abnormal rate was of statistical significance between escherichia coli group and culture-negative group (x2 =3.941,P =0.047).Forty-eight cases manifested potential anomaly evoked by brainstem auditory,with the total abnormal rate as 84.2％.A significant increase in the ratio of severe hearing loss was found in children with bacterial meningitis which was caused by escherichia coli and streptococcus agalactiae.The abnormal rate was of statistical significance between escherichia coli group and culture-negative group (x2 =4.399,P =0.036),and hearing damage caused by escherichia coli was more serious than that in other bacteria group.Of these 57 cases,MRI total abnormal rate was 77.2％,with hydrocephalus as the most common complication.Of the 44 abnormal cases,16 cases showed hydrocephalus,6 cases of which were from the escherichia coli group.The second most common complication was subdural effusion.And another 5 cases showed cerebral softening,3 cases of which were from the escherichia coli group.The data suggested that escherichia coli meningitis easily combined hydrocephalus and brain softening.Conclusions The main pathogens of neonatal bacterial meningitis is streptococcus agalactiae and escherichia coli.The brain injury in neonatal bacterial meningitis caused by escherichia coli is more serious than those caused by other pathogens.
