Objective To evaluate the cardiovascular stiffness and its coupling of patients with hypertension by ultrasound.Methods Fifty patients with essential hypertension and 30 age- and gendermatched subjects without hypertension,diabetes and other cardiovascular diseases as control group were enrolled in this study.The parameters of structure and function of left ventricle,blood flow were measured by echocardiography.The blood pressure and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (CFPWV) were also measured.The derived corresponding parameter:end-systolic pressure(ESP),effective arterial elastance (Ea),end-diastolic (Ed),end-systolic ventricular elastance (Ees) and Ea/ Ees were calculated respectively.Results Ees was correlated positively with ejection fraction (r =0.378,P =0.005),while Ea was correlated positively with CFPWV( r =0.289,P ＜0.001).Ed was correlated negatively with e/a ( r =- 0.333,P =0.027).Posterior wall of left ventricle was correlated positively with Ed and Ea( r =0.388,P =0.016; r =0.336,P =0.026).Ea and Ed in patients with hypertension were significantly higher than those in control group( P ＜0.05),but there was no significant difference of Ees and Ea/ Ees between two groups( P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Arterial stiffness is associated with ventricular stiffness,and their matching relation can be applied to evaluate ventricular-arterial coupling.

Objective To investigate the changes of Bcl-2 and Bax expression in white matter of fetal rats after maternal endotoxin administration. Methods Pregnant rats were randomly divided into two groups: infection group and control group. The infection group was established by intraperitoneal injection of endotoxin in pregnant rats when gestation was 70% complete (15 days). The control group was treated with normal saline. The fetal rats were killed at 2, 4, 12, 24 and 72 hours after maternal endotoxin administration. The pathological changes in placenta and in fetal rat brain were determined by HE staining. Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax proteins in fetal rat brains. Results The major pathological changes in fetal rats niter maternal endotoxin administration included neutrophil infiltration in the placenta, weak staining of white matter and focal infarction. After maternal endotoxin administration, the expression of Bcl-2 gradually decreased from 2 h and arrived at the valley at 12 h, while that of Bax gradually increased 2 h and reached a peak at 12 h. Between the endotoxin-gronp and the control group, the number of positive cells of Bcl-2 and Bax in brain of the fetal rat had significant difference at 4, 12, 24 and 72 hours (P< 0.01 ), and there was no significant difference at 2 h (P > 0.05). The ratio of Bax to Bcl-2 in the endotoxingroup was significantly higher than that in the control group at each time point (P<0.01).Conclusion Endotoxin can be used to eatablish intrauterine irfection models and the infection may cause damage to the white matter. Overexpression of Bcl-2 protects cell from apoptosis, but Bax may function as a cell death effector pro-tein. The ratio of Bax to Bcl-2 may play an important role for apoptosis in the lesion of the white matter.

Objective To research the risk factors of new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) during hospitalization in patients with acute myocardial infarction.Methods Five hundred and one patients first diagnosed with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction who accepted primary coronary intervention from January 2012 to May 2014 in the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University were selected.These patients were divided into non-AF group and new-onset AF group depending on whether happened new-onset AF during hospitalization.Data of the patients in acute myocardial infarction complicated with new-onset atrial fibrillation were collected.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to determine the predictors of new-onset AF.Results AF occurred in 49 cases of the 501 (9.8％) patients diagnosed as acute myocardial infarction.Logistic regression analysis showed that admission heart rate(OR =1.019,95％CI:1.004-1.034,P =0.012),left atrial diameter (OR =1.086,95％ CI:1.021-1.156,P =0.009),previous stroke (OR =2.060,95％ CI:1.029-4.123,P =0.041) were independent risk factors for new-onset AF in acute myocardial infarction.Use of β-blockers before coronary intervention treatment can reduce the risk of new-onset atrial fibrillation(OR=0.222,95％CI:0.064-0.768,P=0.017).Conclusion Admission heart rate and left atrial diameter are independent predictors of new-onset atrial fibrillation,and β-blockers in early stage can effectively reduce the incidence of atrial fibrillation.

Objective To discuss the value of the new parameter of myocardial elasticity derived from circumferential strain.Methods Right ventrieular apical pacing was established on the beagle dogs.Before and after pacing,the peak of early diastolic flow velocity (E peak),peak of atrial flow velocity (A peak),and the ratio of A/E were measured.The peak pressure-rise rate (+ dp/dtmax),peak pressure-fall rate (-dp/dt max),left ventricular systolic pressure(LVSP),LV diastolic pressure(LVDP)were measured by cardiac catheterization.The circumferential strain at the levels of base (CSRA),papillary (CSPM) and cardiac apex (CSAP) were measured,and the parameter of myocardial clasticity at the levels of base (EBA),papillary (EPM) and cardiac apex (EAP) were measured and calculated,respectively.Results ①After pacing,the + dp/dt and LVDP were increased,but the-dp/dtmax was decreased (P ＜0.05).② After pacing,the CSPM and CSAP were all decreased,but EBA,EPM,EA were all increased(P ＜0.05).③ The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC) of CSAP,CSPM,EAP,EPM and EBA were all 1,and the area under the curve of CSBA was 0.687.EAB,EPM and EAP were significant negative correlation with CSPM and CSAP,but are positive correlated with A/E and LVDP (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The parameter of myocardial elasticity derived from circumferential strain includes useful information about myocardial deformation and function.The new parameter can be applied to assess the diastolic function of left ventricle.

Objective The aim of this study was to reveal the clinical features of colorectal polyps by investigating its endoscopic features using a magnifying videoscope. Methods One hundred and five colorectal polyps presented in colonoscopy were included in this study. A magnifying videoscope with a zoom ranging from ? 1 to ? 100 magnification combined with indigocarmine dye was employed to observe the pit pattern of colorectal polyps. Pit pattern was analyzed according to Kudo' s modified classification as follows; (1) type Ⅰ ; round pit; (2) type Ⅱ; asteroid; (3) type Ⅳs; tubular or round pit, which is smaller than the normal pit (type Ⅰ ) ; (4) type ⅢL: tubular or round pit, which is larger than the normal pit (type Ⅰ ) ; (5 ) type Ⅳ : dendritic or gyrus - like pit; ( 6 ) type Ⅴ : irregular or amorphous pit; and ( 7 ) mixed type. Types Ⅰ and Ⅱ represented the pit pattern of nonneoplastic polyps and types Ⅲ L , Ⅲs, Ⅳ , Ⅴ , and mixed type represented the adenomatous polyps represented neoplastic polyps. Results In all samples of polyps, 17 were of the pedunculated type, 40 subpedunculated type and 48 sessile type. Among the 17 pe-dunculated type, 12 were type Ⅰ ,Ⅱ pit pattern. In those subpedunculated types, type Ⅰ , Ⅱ pit pattern were found in 15. 0% (6/40) , type ⅢL , Ⅲs , Ⅳ, and Ⅴ were detected in 85. 0% (34/40) . Type Ⅰ ,Ⅱ pit pattern were found in 41. 7% (20/48), type Ⅰ,ⅢL, ⅢS, Ⅳ, and V were in 58.3% (28/48) in sessile type. Of all polyps 88 (83. 8% ) were situated between the splenic flexure and rectum , but'no correlation was found between pit pattern and location of polyps. The incidences of neoplastic changes in the lesions with pit pattern Ⅰ,Ⅱ ,ⅢL, Ⅲs,Ⅳ, Ⅴ , and mixed type were 0% , 11. 8% , 77. 3% , 75. 0% , 100. 0% , 100. 0% , and 70. 0% , respectively. The diagnostic sensitivity of neoplastic and nonneoplastic polyps were 96. 7% and 80. 0% , and specificity were 86. 6% and 94. 7% . The overall diagnostic accuracy in differentiating neoplastic from nonneoplastic polyps was 89. 5% . Conclusions The pit pattern analysis of colorectal polyps by magnifying colonoscopy combined with indigocarmine staining is a useful and objective tool fur differentiating nonneoplastic lesions from adenomas or invasive carcinoma of the large bowel. There-fore it may be possible to determine, at the lime of colonoscopy, which lesions require treatment or not, and which one should be removed by endoacopy, or by surgery.
