Objective To study mortality of acute myocardial infarction caused by acute left main coronary artery occlusion.The objectives of this analysis were to determine the effect of primary PCI and the impact of cardiogenic shock on acute myocardial infarction caused by acute left main coronary artery occlusion.Methods From 1999 to 2005,of 752 consecutive patients with acute myocardial infarction,16 patients had acute left main coronary artery occlusion with TIMI flow≤2.All patients were given primary PCI.Results Of these 16 patients,9(56.25%)died in hospital,and 7(43.75%)discharged.In the survival group reperfusion was successful in 100% of patients,as opposed to 44.44% in the mortality group(P=0.019).Cardiogenic shock was overt in 12(75.00%)patients,42.86% of the survival group and 100% of the mortality group(P=0.020).Shock patients had higher in-hospital mortality than stable patients(75 % vs 0%,odds=4.0,95%CI 1.50~10.66,P=0.019).Conclusion Patients presenting with AMI caused by acute left main coronary artery occlusion and cardiogenic shock have poor survival regardless of primary PCI.Nevertheless,primary PCI is a feasible and effective procedure,and it may save lives in this clinical setting.

Objective To study the anti-proliferation and apoptosis induction effect of cisplatin combined with Astragalus on human laryngeal cancer Hep-2 cells.Methods The proliferation inhibition of cisplatin and Astragalus alone or in combination on Laryngeal cancer Hep-2cells was measured by MTT assay.Effects of cisplatin and Astragalus alone or in combination on apoptosis of Hep-2 cells were detected by flow cytometry (FCM).Western blot was used to analyze the expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax proteins.Results The inhibition ratio of proliferation of Hep-2 cells was (53.83 ± 17.12) ％ in the astragalus group,(69.12 ± 27.12)％ in the cisplatin group,and (84.55 ± 27.84)％ in the cisplatin combined with Astragalus group,and was significantly greater than the control group (0％) (t =16.87,16.67,40.90,P ＜0.01),respectively.The apoptotic ratio of Hep-2 cells was (38.2 ± 13.6)％ in the astragalus group,(67.2 ± 17.8)％ in the cisplatin group,and (86.4 ± 25.1)％] in the cisplatin combined with Astragalus group,and was significantly greater than control group (17.1 ± 1.3) ％ (t =8.11,12.77,24.92,P ＜0.05),respectively.The effect in the combination group is better than the other group (t =11.33,9.37,P ＜ 0.01).The expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax proteins were changed.Conclusions The tumor-killing effect of cisplatin on laryngeal cancer Hep-2 cells could be enhanced significantly by the combination application of astragalus by the way of regulating the expression of Bcl-2/Bax.

Objective To investigate the efficiency of the modified posterolateral curved incision with double intermuscular approach in the treatment of posterolateral tibial plateau fractures.Methods From August 2009 to March 2013,15 men and 17 women aged 28 to 77 (mean,46.25) years with posterolateral spitting or collapse tibial plateau fractures were treated to undergo a modified posterolateral approach.All types of fractures were closed,without nerve or artery injury.The duration from injury to fixation was 3-18 (mean,7.13) days.The modified posterolateral approach was preformed to expose tibial anterolateral condyle and posterolateral condyle through intermuscular space of anterior tibial muscle,popliteus muscle and soleus muscle.After open reduction,anterolateral fractures and posterolateral fractures were fixed by the T-shaped plate and Golf shaped plate respectively.Results All of the 32 patients were followed up from 6 months to 36 months (in average of 15.3 months).Postoperative X-ray showed satisfied fractures without obvious collapse of the articular surface.At the last follow-up,the Rasmussen scores were range from 6 to 18 (in average of 14.06),namely 14 cases excellent,15 cases good,3 cases fair.The knee joint functions were evaluated according to HSS.The HSS results showed that there were 12 cases excellent,16 cases good,3 cases fair and 1 case bad.None of the cases suffered from injuries of crucial blood vessel or nerves.No incision necrosis,wound infection or fixation failure occurred during follow-up.Conclusion Open reduction and internal fixation via modified posterolateral approach can expose posterolateral and anterolateral tibial plateau fracture in one incision.Fibular head osteotomy can be avoided.The present approach could also reduce surgical injury,minimize the possibilities of incision necrosis or plate exposure.The modified posterolateral approach can be recommended in clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the effect of mild hypothermia preconditioning against ischemia/ reperfusion (I/R) injury of cultured primary cortical rats neurons,and to compare the protective effect of mild hypothermia only and with its combination with drugs.Methods Cortical neurons of neonatal Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat within 24 hours after birth were harvested and cultured in vitro.On the 3rd day,the cells were cultured in a medium containing 2.5 mg/L cytosine arabinoside to inhibit the growth of glial cells and fibroblast.Having cultured for 6 days they were randomly divided into blank control group,glutamate damaged group (cultured with 200 μmol/L glutamate for 0.5 hour after washing),mild hypothermia preconditioning group (cultured under 33.5 ℃ for 24 hours before injury induced by glutamate),mild hypothermia combining with edaravone preconditioning group,and the hypothermia combining with propofol preconditioning group (medium containing 100 μmol/L edaravone and 3 mg/L propofol).They were cultured under 33.5 ℃ for 24 hours before injury induced by glutamate.After 24 hours of culturing in various medium,apoptosis ratio was observed by flow cytometry.Cell surviving rate was determined with methylthiazolete trazolium (MTT),c-fos protein expression was assayed,and morphologic change of cells with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining under the microscope,and uhrastructure changes were observed after uranyl acetate and lead citrate staining under transmission electron microscope.Results The apoptosis ratio and c-fos protein in glutamate damaged group were significantly higher than those in blank control group [apoptosis ratio:(9.85 ± 0.76)％ vs.(0.94 ± 0.20)％,c-fos (ng/L):6.96 ± 0.75 vs.1.65 ± 0.59,both P＜0.01],the cell surviving rate was significantly lower than that in blank control group [(0.20 ± 0.02)％ vs.(0.97 ± 0.03)％,P＜0.01].Mild hypothermia preconditioning reversed surviving rate,apoptosis ratio and c-fos protein,and the effect of hypothermia combining with propofol preconditioning was obviously better [cell surviving rate:(0.80 ± 0.04)％ vs.(0.20 ± 0.02)％,apoptosis ratio:(2.26 ± 0.54)％ vs.(9.85 ± 0.76)％,c-fos (ng/L):2.98 ± 0.46 vs.6.96 ± 0.75,all P＜0.01].The morphology of cortical neurons in blank control group was normal.Most of the cells in glutamate damaged group showed bluish black cytoplasm with pyknic nuclei,with crimpled axons and of them were fractured,and cell number was obviously decreased.In each pre-conditional groups,decrease in cell number was unconspicuous,and only a few cells showed apoptosis.Under transmission electron microscope,it was found that cell membrane,mitochondria and rough endoplasmic reticulum were intact in blank control group,but with reduction in organelles,severely swollen mitochondria,even with formation of vacuole or pyknosis,serious dilation of rough endoplasmic reticulum,with loss of cristac with loss of vacuoles or pyknosis,and marked dilatation of intemal reticular endoplasm,and loss of cristac with vacuolation and chromatin were observed under electron microscope in glutamate damaged group.Compared with the glutamate damaged group,these pathologic changes were markedly alleviated in protected groups.Conclusions Mild hypothermia preconditioning can inhibit glutamate-induced injury to cortical neurons.The protective effect of mild hypothermia combined with propofol is better.

BACKGROUND:Mesenchymal stem cel s-released factors can form a microenvironment inhibiting malignant tumor cel proliferation, and moreover, salinomycin also inhibits the growth of tumor cel s. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of salinomycin with umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cel s in breast cancer MCF-7 cel s and its action mechanism, in order to seek a new target and therapeutic strategy to treat breast cancer. METHODS:Logarithmically growing MCF-7 cells were randomly divided into control, umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cell group and combination group. Cells in the control group were given no treatment, while those in the other two groups were given umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cell suspension or umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cell suspension combined with salinomycin, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Forty-eight hours after the intervention, the proliferation and invasion of MCF-7 cel s and expression of POSTN protein in cel s were significantly reduced in the combination group compared with the other two groups. These findings indicate that the combination of umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cel suspension and salinomycin effectively reduces the proliferation and migration of MCF-7 cel s, and this combined use provides a new insight into the treatment of breast cancer.

OBJECTIVE To study the frequencyof extracapsular spread (ECS) in neck metastasis and its impact on prognosis in supraglottic carcinoma. METHODS A total of 177 patients with radical or modified neck dissection between Jan. 1994 and Dec. 1997 for supraglottic carcinoma were summarized. Transparent lymph node detection and a series of sectioning method were applied on all neck dissection specimens. The SPSS software package (version 11.5) was used to make statistical analysis. Survival curves were calculated with the Kaplan-Meier model. Impact of extracapsular spread on prognosis was assessed for significance with the Log-Rank test. RESULTS Eighty one patients were pathologically positive in neck specimens and the neck metastatic rate was 45.8 %. ECS was found in 32 cases and the ECS frequency was 39.5 % (32/81). The ECS was related with pathological N stage and the number of positive nodes. Patients with ECS had a higher possibility of regional recurrence and contralateral metastasis. The 5-year survival rates of patients with neck metastasis ECS- and patients with ECS+ were 61.9 % and 22.2 % respectively. The differences had statistically significance. CONCLUSION ECS in neck metastasis affects the prognosis in patients with supraglottic carcinoma. If bilateral neck dissection was not selected simultaneously, close follow-up on contralateral neck should be selected in patients with ECS because of a higher incidence of contralateral neck metastasis.
