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.

Abstract: Objective To analyze the risk factors for neonatal preterm birth in 12 hospitals in Yunnan Province from 2016 to 2017, and to establish a nomogram prediction model for neonatal preterm birth, providing scientific evidence for the prevention of preterm birth. Methods A total of 20 445 pregnant women who gave birth in 12 hospitals in Yunnan Province from 2016 to 2017 were collected and grouped into a preterm group (n=1 186) and a full-term group (n=19 259) according to whether they had a premature delivery. The general information questionnaire of pregnant women designed by the research team was applied to understand the basic conditions and pregnancy information of the two groups, and the risk factors of preterm birth were determined by logistic regression analysis, R software was applied to draw a nomogram prediction model of neonatal preterm birth, and its predictive performance was tested. Results There were significant differences in the proportions of twins and above (9.11% vs 7.10%), pregnancy-induced hypertension (21.67% vs 18.57%), gestational diabetes mellitus (18.21% vs 15.90%), anemia (24.28% vs 20.70%), premature rupture of membranes (11.64% vs 9.76%), and abnormal placenta (7.08% vs 5.51%) between the preterm group and the full-term group (χ2=6.731, 7.055, 4.441, 8.691, 4.437, 5.232, all P<0.05); the logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors for neonatal preterm birth were twins and above (OR=2.378), pregnancy-induced hypertension (OR=2.039), gestational diabetes mellitus (OR=1.824), anemia (OR=1.825), and premature rupture of membranes (OR=2.313) (all P<0.05); the discrimination (area under the curve was 0.794, 95%CI=0.738-0.850) and precision (goodness of fit HL test, χ2=8.864, P=0.312) of the nomogram model constructed to predict the occurrence of neonatal preterm birth were both good. Conclusions The nomogram model for preterm birth constructed based on 5 factors including number of fetuses, pregnancy-induced hypertension, gestational diabetes mellitus, anemia and premature rupture of membranes can predict the occurrence of neonatal preterm birth well, thus providing reference for the prevention of neonatal preterm birth.

Objective To discuss the relationship between human leukocyte antigen (HLA) gene heredity and morbidity of cerebral infarction by a random survey on the allele expression of HLA-A, B and DRB1 seats of patients with cerebral infarction. Methods The genotypes of HLA-A, B and DRB1 alleles in 94 patients with cerebral infarction and 122 healthy blood donors were detected by polymerase chain reaction-sequencing based typing (PCR-SBT) method. Results Sixteen alleles in HLA -A locus,32 alleles in HLA -B locus and 25 alleles in HLA -DRB1 locus expressed themselves in these patients with cerebral infarction. The gene frequency of HLA -A*1102 in patients was lower than that in healthy controls, and negative association was found between HLA -A* 1102 allele and cerebral infarction (RR=0.06,P=0.019). Conclusion The research reveals susceptibility association of HLA -A*1102 with patients having cerebral infarction, displaying close genetic immunity correlation between HLA alleles and pathogenesis of cerebral infarction. So, the research in this paper is useful in the clinical prediction of this disease.

Objective To study the clinical manifestations and treatment methods of hyperprolactinemia (HPRL), a common disorder encountered in clinical practice, and explore its association with prolactinomas. Methods The clinical data, hormone profile and imaging data of 166females with documented HPRL, admitted to our hospital from January 2005 to January 2010, for over a period of 5 years, including 4 years of retrospective analysis and 1 year of prospective study, were retrospectively analyzed. Results Most patients aged 20-40 with abnormal menstruation as their most common symptom; 141 patients (84.9%) appeared abnormal menstruation and 1 14 (68.7%) with galactorrhea. Microadenoma was noted in 62 patients (37.3%), nonfunctioning pituitary macroadenoma involved stalk occurred in 26 patients (15.7%). As compared with that in patients with idiopathic HPRL ([93.9±20.4]ng/mL), the level ofprolactin in patients with microprolactinoma ([161.2±60.6]ng/mL) was significantly higher (P<0.05); as compared with that in patients with prolactin microadenoma, the level of prolactin in patients with domperidone caused drug-induced HPRL ([240.2±29.4]ng/mL) was obviously increased (P<0.05). Conclusion We cannot confirm whether a HPRL patient has prolactinomas only through detecting the level of prolactin. Microprolactinoma is the most common cause of HPRL, followed by idiopathic cause.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of direct posterior restoration and screw-rod (plate) internal fixation technique for the treatment of children with congenital atlantoaxial subluxation.Methods Seven children with congenital atlantoaxial subluxation,admitted to our hospital from April 2008 to March 2011, were chosen in our study; and 3 of them were combined with tonsil hernia of cerebellum and 3 with occipitalization. Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) scale was used to evaluate the patient's condition. Five patients were treated by internal fixation with occipital bone screw-axis (C2) pedicle screw and 2 were with atlas C1-C2.Articulatio atlantoepistrophica repositioning was performed during the operation. The post-operative improvement degree and therapeutic effect of these patients were assessed based on the JOA scores and imaging. Results All the patients were followed up for 1-15 months (average 3.2 months). The clinical symptoms of all patients improved significantly. The positions of all screws were fine 1 month after operation. Three-dimensional CT showed that occipital/interbody fusions were good in 3 patients.JOA scores after the surgery were 7-16 with an average scores of (12.03±3.58),which were significantly different as compared with those before the surgery ([7.56±3.16], P<0.05). Conclusion Direct posterior restoration and internal fixation technique is a safe and effective method for the treatment of children with congenital atlantoaxial subluxation.
