Objective To evaluate the influence of preoperation medical treatment on recurrence of atrial fibrillation(AF) in valve replacement postoperative patients of rheumatic heart disease during in-hospital and other risk factors. Methods One-hundred and eight patients with rheumatic heart disease and AF that underwent valve replacement postoperative patients were randomly divided into 2 groups: the treatment group (n =54)and the control group (n = 54 ). The treatment group were treated with ranipril, felodipine and simvastatin for 1 month and other conventional preoperational treatments before operation . The control group were only treated conventional preoperational therapy. Occurrence of AF postoperation were observed during inhospital. Results The occurrence of atrial fibrillation of the two group was no difference( 35.85% vs 41.51%,P = 0.55) immediately after rebeat. There was significant difference in the occurrence of atrial fibrillation of the 2 groups within 24 h post-operation ( 47.17% vs 69.81%, P = 0.02 ) . Logistic regression showed that intervention before operation had significant effect on the occurrence of AF( OR =0.39,95% CI: 0.17 -0.86,P =0.018) ,as well as the diameter of left atrium (LAD) ( OR= 4.28,95% CI:1.12 - 18.23, P = 0.018 ),pulmonary artery pressure(PAP) ( OR = 3.28,95% CI: 1.14 - 12.25, P = 0.01 ), duration of atrial fibrillation (AFD) (OR = 4.19,95% CI: 1.15 -14.22,P = 0.011). ROC curve showed that the best cut-off of LAD was 46.5 mm to predict AF,with sensitivity of 73% and specify of 85% ;the best cut-off of PAP was 48.5 mm Hg,with sensitivity of 75.6% and specify of 80.3% ;the best cut-off of AFD was 7. 5 months,with sensitivity of 76.1% and specify of 88.3%. Conclusion The recurrence of AF can be effectively reduced during hospitalization by the preoperational triple treatments for patients with rheumatic heart disease successfully underwent valve replacement operation , which is also beneficial for maintenance of sinus rhythm after operation.

Objective To explore the association of expression of apoptosis-associated gene BAK and cFLIP with the biological behaviors in endometriosis. Methods The expression of BAK and cFLIP protein gene in eutopic and ectopic tissue samples from 40 cases with pathologically confirmed ovarian endometriosis and 40 cases with pathologically confirmed normal endometrium was detected by immunohistochemical method. Results ①The expression of BAK and cFLIP protein gene was found in three groups of different endometrial tissue. ②The expression of BAK protein gene was increased gradually in ectopic endometrial , eutopic endometrium and normal tissue and there was significantly difference between every two groups ,while cFLIP was contrary expressed (P <0.05); ③In normal endometrium, The expression of BAK protein gene in secretory phase was higher than that in proliferative phase (P < 0.05), while cFLIP was contrary expressed, in eutopic endometrium and ectopic endometrial tissue , The expression of BAK and cFLIP protein gene in secretive phase showed no statistically significant difierence with that in proliferative phase (P > 0.05). ④The expression of BAK protein gene in severe group (Ⅲ-Ⅳ period) is lower than mild group both in eutopic or ectopic endometrial tissues,while cFLIP was contrary expressed (P < 0.05). ⑤The expression of BAK and cFLIP was negatively correlated with each other in ectopic endometrium (r=-0.389,P< 0.05). Conclusion BAK and cFLIP was negatively expressed in EMS, which may take a part in the endometrial apoptosis and disorderly proliferation. BAK and cFLIP may play an important role in the the diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis.

Objective To study the architecture of the subpleural pulmonary microvasculature and its functional relationship in the bactrian camel. Methods The replica scanning electron microscopic method was used. Results According to their continuous branches,the subpleural pulmonary microvasculatures were recognized into four grades: arteriole,terminal arteriole,precapillary arteriole and capillary.The subpleural pulmonary capillaries generally came from the subpleural precapillary arteriole and communicated each other to form the subpleural pulmonary capillary network.Sometimes,the subpleural terminal arteriole directly gave rise to capillaries to unite with the subpleural pulmonary capillary network.The network was loose,in which the diameter of the mesh was larger than that of the capillary,and the mesh was often hexagon and pentagon in appearance.There were obvious imprints of the smooth muscles on the surface of the casts of the subpleural pulmonary arteriole,the terminal arteriole and the precapillary arteriole.On the surface of the casts of the subpleural pulmonary capillary,there were obvious imprints of the endothelial nuclei as well.In addition,the broad and different level communications were found among the pulmonary interstitial capillary and subpleural pulmonary microvasculature.Conclusion There were no significant differences on the architecture of the subpleural pulmonary microvasculature between the bactrian camel and other kind of mammals.
