Objective:To investigate the role of thoracic echocardiography in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of the right ventricular outflow tract into the right aorta with right ventricular aneurysm rupture.Methods:A total of 19 patients with sinus rupture caused by ventricular septal defect in the right ventricular outflow road were reviewed.These patients were diagnosed as aortic right coronary sinus by preoperative transthoracic echocardiography from February 2010 to September 2016 in Xiangya Second Hospital and Xiangya Medical College Affiliated Haikou Hospital.The clinical symptoms,echocardiography and intraoperative lesions were compared and analyzed among the patients.Results:The intraoperative lesions were consistent with the preoperative echocardiographic diagnosis in 16 patients.Among them,11 cases could be heard the continuous sound of the machine with systolic murmur and no tremor in left sternal rib 2-3 auscultation.The color Doppler imaging of right ventricular systolic indicated the based continuous Doppler spectrum.The preoperative echocardiography and intraoperative lesions testified the ventricular septal defect size and the right ventricular outflow tract into the right aorta with right ventricular aneurysm rupture.Among them,3 cases were complicated with other heart diseases.Other 3 cases were not accorded with the preoperative diagnosis.There were auscultation smell and noise but no tremor.The preoperative echocardiography and lesions indicated the right ruptured aneurysm of the sinus of big and long mouth,1 case with aortic valve stenosis and regurgitation,congenital aortic valve two valve malformation,1 case with aortic valve-severe reflux,1 case with pulmonary infection,and 3 cases with no intraoperative lesions in the ventricular septal defect.Conclusion:Preoperative transthoracic echocardiography is the preferred preoperative,quick and noninvasive method for ruptured aneurysm.Each stage of observation procedure and method can observe the ruptured aneurysm of aortic sinus,the location,size and adjacent ofventricular septal defect.Meanwhile,the flow spectrum characteristics of the ventricular septal defect in the right outflow tract of the right sinus aneurysm can be found by Doppler ultrasound imaging.

Objective To investigate the correlation between the olasma concentrations of angiotesin Ⅱ,aldosterone and the parameters that reflected the reconstruction of left ventricular in chronic heart failur(CHF)patients.Methods 61 CHF pmiems and 20 normal control subjects were enrolled.plasma concentration of angiotesin Ⅱ,aldosterone were measured by specific radioimmunoassays.Two dimensional,M-mode and Doppler ultrasound recording were obtalned to determine left vantricular mass index(LVMI),left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)and maximal early transmitral flow velocity in diastole(VE)and maximal late transmittal flow velocity(VA).Results Baseline plasma concemrations of angiotesin Ⅱ,aldostemne were increased significantly in CHF patients as compared with normal thme of control group and were paralleled to the increase of NYHA cardiac functional classification of CHF(P＜0.01).Plasma concentrations of angiotesin Ⅱ,aldostemne were positively correlated with LVMI but negatively correlated with VE/VA(P＜0.01).Conclusion Plasma concentrations of angiotesin Ⅱ,aldosterone were increased signifcantly in CHF patients and might be involved in and regulated the reconstruction of left ventricular in CHF patients.

3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGR) is the first rate-limiting enzyme for sesquiterpene synthesis in the mevalonate (MVA) pathway. The specific primers were designed according to the transcript sequence of AsHMGR2 from the Aquilaria sinensis (Lour.) Gilg transcriptome database. The full-length cDNA of AsHMGR2 was cloned by RT-PCR and rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) technology, and was analyzed at bioinformatics levels; AsHMGR2 expression profiles in different tissues and in responds to different treatments were analyzed by real-time PCR. The length of AsHMGR2 Open Reading Frame (ORF) was 1 749 bp, encoding 582 amino acids. The GenBank accession number is KC140287. Tissue expression analysis indicated that AsHMGR2 was mainly expressed in root and shoot tips, followed by stem, and was lowest in leaves. Inducible-experiments showed that the genes were induced by mechanical wound as well as chemical liquid induction, and reached the highest expression level at 6 h and 8 h, separately. The full-length cDNA of AsHMGR2 and its expression patterns will provide a foundation for further research on its function in agarwood sesquiterpene biosynthesis.

Objective:To study the inhibition of astragaloside on the proliferation of human keloid fibroblasts. Methods: Com-pared with that of normal skin, the expression of transforming growth factor-β( TGF-β) and its transduction factors Smad in the human keloid fibroblasts was detected. The optimal concentration was screened by MTT after HFF-1 human skin fibroblast was infected with astragaloside at different concentrations. The mRNA expression of Smad2, Smad3, Smad4 and Smad7 in the fibroblasts was studied by using real-time. The protein expression of TGF-βRⅡ, Smad2, Smad3, Smad4 and Smad7 in the fibroblasts was detected by using Western blot. Results: Compared with that of normal skin tissue, the expression of Smad protein was significantly increased ( P <0. 05) in the human keloid fibroblasts, and there was no significant difference in the TGF-βRⅡ expression (P>0. 05). The optimal concentration of astragaloside was 0. 5μg·ml-1 . The expression level of Smad2 protein in the two groups was significantly increased, and the level of Smad3 expression was significantly decreased (P<0. 05). Conclusion:Astragaloside can inhibit the formation of fi-broblast possibly through Smad2 over-expression and Smad3 inhibition in the TGF-β/Smad signal transduction pathway.

Objective To study the effects of ginkgo biloba extract(GBE)on c-reactive protein(CRP) and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in serum and alveolar lavage fluid(BALF)from rats with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD). Methods 90 rats were randomly divided into groups A,B,C,D,E and F. There were 15 rats in each group. The rat model of COPD were established in groups B,C,D,E and F. Groups C and D were given intraperitoneal injections with GBE from day l to day l4 and day 29 to day 42. Groups E and F weregiven intraperitoneal injections with erythromycin from day l to day l4 and day 29 to day 42. After the end of experi-ment ,the contents of CRP and TNF-α in serum and BALF were detected in all groups. Results The contents of CRP and TNF-α in the serum and the BALF were markedly lower in groups C,D,E and F than in group B (P<0.05);and the contents of CRP in the serum and the BALF and TNF-αin the BALF were lower in groups C, E and F than in group D(P<0.05). Conclusions GBE can inhibit the airway and systemic inflammatory response in COPD rats. Early intervention is more effective.

Objective To explore the influence of partial splenic embolization (PSE) on the factors related to alimentary canal bleeding in hepatocirrhosis. Methods Forty-nine cases of hepatocirrhosis patient with alimentary canal bleeding were selected according to the sequence of entrance. In these patients, 28 cases were set in treatment group and the rest 21 cases were control group. Besides basic therapeutic measures PSE technique were given to the patients of treatment group, while the patients in control group received basic therapeutic measures only. And the blood routine test, prothrombin time(PT), liver function tests, B type ultrasonography and gastroscopy were conducted or observed respectively before operation and 7 days, 1 month, 6 months, 1 year after operation. Results ① days after operation, the count of blood platelets and white blood cells in peripheral blood of therapy group were higher obviously than those of control group (P

Objective To discussi the feasibility and indication of selective primary suture after choledo-chotomy. Methods The selected patients were intra-operatively randomized to have either primary suture or T tube drainage after choledochotomy. Comparison of the clinical effects in different groups was done. Re-sults Totally 161 cases were randomized into two groups: the primary sutures group 85 cases and the T tube drainage group 76 cases. All patient had no serious or long-term complications. The average hospital stay in primary suture group was significantly shorter (8.5±3.2) d than T-tube group(16.3±6.5) d. Conclusion Under strict indications, the primary suture after choledochotomy is feasible, and has advantages compared with the traditional method.
