Objective To investigate the effects and mechanism of different doses of rosuvastatin on expression of tissue factor(TF) in cultured human monocyte-macrophage cells which were induced by oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL).Methods The human monocyte-macrophage cells were divided into seven groups:control group,ox-LDL group,poly-insine monophosphate group,different doses of rosuvastatin group(0.01 μmol/L,0.1 μmol/L,1 μmol/L,5 μmol/L).The expression of LOX-1 mRNA and TF mRNA was assayed by RT-PCR.The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was performed to determine the protein concentration of TF.Results Effects of different doses of rosuvastatin on expressions of LOX-1mRNA,TF mRNA and TF in cultured human monocyte-macrophage cells induced by ox-LDL:comparison among seven groups,the difference was statistically significant (F =91.334,58.833,103.552,P ＜0.05).Compared with control group,the expressions of LOX-1 mRNA,TF mRNA and TF were increased in the ox-LDL group[(3.25156 ± 0.15772) vs (1 ±0) ;(2.522451 ±0.138967) vs (1 ±0) ;(207.7233± 1.154701)ng/L vs (184.8467 ± 0.871799)ng/L],and they were in a concentration-dependent manner (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with the PolyⅠ group and the different doses of rosuvastatin group,the expressions of LOX-1 mRNA,TF mRNA and TF were in the ox-LDL group,and the different doses of rosuvastatin were decreased by dose-dependent manner.It was in a concentration dependent manner (P ＜ 0.05).Different doses of rosuvastatin were compared between groups (between each group P ＜ 0.05),the difference between each two groups was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions LOX-1 may be responsible for the expression of TF in Human monocyte-macrophage cells induced by ox-LDL.Rosuvastatin by dose dependent manner and by means of ox-LDL reduced monocyte-macrophage LOX-1 mRNA and TF mRNA expressions,which reduced expression of TF.

Objective To investigate the outcome of powered laryngeal shaver for papilloma of the larynx in children by laryngeal endoscopy. Methods Thirty-nine children with papilloma of the larynx were treated by powered laryngeal shaver under a laryngeal endoscope. Twenty-seven of the patients who had an extensive tumor received radiofrequency to avoid hemorrhage and adhesion of the surgical surface. Results The mean operation time was (11.2?2.6) min, and the blood lose was less than 30 ml. Three months after the operation, 28 of the patients were fond of their voice quality. Among the 39 patients, 37 were followed up for 2-5 years, during which 3-year recurrence rate was 51% (19/37). In the children with primary patients, the rate of recurrence was 30% (3/10), and in those with recurrent tumor, the rate was 59% (16/27). Conclusions By using powered laryngeal shaver under a laryngeal endoscope, papilloma of the larynx can be accurately resected with low blood loss, short operation time and short hospital stay and confirmed effectivenss.

Methods Fifty-one patients with laryngeal precancerosis, which was diagnosed pathologically, were treated with microresection combined with radiofrequency ablation under laryngoscope and rigid telescope. The patients were followed up for over 6 months. Results During a mean of 26-month follow-up (6 months to 4.5 years), 7 of the patients had recurrence (vocal cord leukoplakia in 3, atypical hyperplasia in 2, and laryngeal papilloma in 2); 4 had carcinomatous change (vocal cord leukoplakia in 1, atypical hyperplasia in 2, and laryngeal papilloma in 1);and 2 patients developed laryngeal web after surgical treatment for bilateral vocal cord leukoplakia. One month after the operation, the Jitter, Shimmer, and NNE were decreased significantly (P

Objective To investigate the relation of synovial anti-citrullinated epitope peptide(CCP)expression and peptidyl arginine deiminase 4 (PADI4)gene in the rheumatoid arthritis patient.Methods From February 2013 to 2015 in Dongfeng General Hospital Affiliated to Hubei University,selected 110 patients with rheumatoid arthritis as the observation group, and selected 110 healthy people at the same period in this hospital for medical examination as the control group,both groups were given the synovial CCP expression positive rate and PADI4 gene expression detecting and correlation analysis.Results The synovial anti-CCP expression positive rates in the observation group and the control group were 70.9% and 9.1% re-spectively,and the observation group were significantly higher than the control group (P<0.05).The PADI4-104 genotype expression frequency compared between the observation group and control group,the difference were statistically significant (P<0.05).The G/G expression was more in the observation group,while the control group was more wit the C/G expres-sion.Pearson correlation analysis showed that in the observation group,synovial CCP positive expression were significant correlated to the expression of genotype PADI4-104 (r=0.344,P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed PADI4-104 genotype frequency were the main factors for the synovial CCP epitope expression (P<0.05).Conclusion The rheumatoid arthritis was more with synovial anti-CCP positive expression.There were also PADI4 polymorphism disorder expression, and clear correlation between the two.Thus impact the incidence of rheumatoid arthritis.

Mother-to-child transmission (MTCT)is an important way of hepatitis B virus (HBV)transmission.Blocking the HBV MTCT has a great significance for the prevention and treatment of hepatitis B.This article reviews the current blocking strategies implemented in the antepar-tum,peripartum,and postpartum stages,and summarizes the controversies existing in the blocking strategies in different stages.The significance of HBV occult infection and germ cell transmission in the HBV MTCT is analyzed.The results indicate that the current strategies for the prevention of hepatitis B MTCT need further improvement.Attentions should be focused on HBV occult infection and germ cell transmission.

Objective To investigate the changes of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) complicated by myocardial ischemic injury. Methods Forty neonates with HIE ( 16 cases with concurrent myocardial injury and 24 cases without) were enrolled. Twenty healthy neonates were used as control. Plasma NT-proBNP levels were measured using enzyme immunoassay. Cardiac function was measured by echocardiography. Results ( 1 ) The mean plasma NT-proBNP levels in patients with myocardial injury[(350 ± 56) pmol/L]were significantly higher than those in patients without myocardial injury[(135 ± 37 ) pmol/L]and in the control group [(117 ±23) pmol/L](P ＜0. 05). (2) The NT-proBNP levels in mild,moderate and severe HIE neonates were ( 132 ±34) pmol/L, (247 ±43) pmol/L and (343 ±53) pmol/L. Compared with the control group,the NT-proBNP levels in the neonates with moderate and severe HIE significantly increased. There were significant differences in the NT-proBNP levels among the mild, moderate and severe HIE neonates ( P ＜ 0. 05 ).(3) In patients with myocardial injury,the NT-proBNP levels significantly decreased in the convalescent phase [(250±78) pmol/L]compared with those in the acute phase[(350±56) pmol/L](P ＜0.05). (4) The NT-proBNP levels were significantly related with left ventricular ejection fraction. Conclusion Plasma NT-proBNP levels increase in neonates with HIE complicated with myocardial ischemic injury in the acute phase.Detection of NT-proBNP levels maybe useful in the diagnosis of myocardial ischemic injury and severe HIE.
