Objective To evaluate the relationship between the newly recominended chronic heart failue (CHF) marker-serum galection-3 (Gal-3)level and the prognosis of CHF by Meta-analysis.Methods The Chinese and English literatures about the relationship between Gal-3 and CHF prognosis were searched in PubMed,EMbase, Chinese Biomedical Literature Databases. All literatures were assessed by the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Hazard ratio (HR)and 95% confidence interval (CI)in each literature were extracted for Meta-analysis using STATA 12.1 software.The stability and reliability were evaluated by sensitivity analysis and publication bias analysis.Results Ten literatures complying with the requirements were included.The results of heterogeneity test were as follows:① When the influence of other factors were not excluded,heterogeneity test showed that P =0.000,I 2 =89.2%,heterogeneity existed in different studies,so statistics were combined using a random effects model.The combined HR of univariate analysis was 1.36 and 95% CI was 1.23-1.50.2.When the influence of other factors were excluded,heterogeneity test showed that P < 0.001,I 2 = 68.4%,heterogeneity existed in different studies,so statistics were combined using a random effects model.The combined HR of multivariate analysis was 1.17 and 95% CI was 1.07-1.26.3.Sensitivity analysis showed that when the study with the largest samples was excluded,the combined HR of univariate analysis was 1.54 and 95% CI was 1.32 - 1.77;the combined HR of multivariate analysis was 1.26 and 95% CI was 1.09 - 1.42.When the study with the smallest samples was excluded,the combined HR of univariate analysis was 1.34 and 95% CI was 1.20 - 1.47;the combined HR of multivariate analysis was 1.15 and 95% CI was 1.06-1.24.Conclusion The serum level of Gal-3 is increased significantly in the patients with CHF and it may be an independent risk factor for poor prognosis of the CHF patients.

Purpose To investigate the expression of Periostin and VEGF protein in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma tissue and their significance. Methods Immunohistochemical staining (SP method) was used to detect Periostin and VEGF expression in 130 cases of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and 130 cases of normal esophageal mucosa tissues. Results There was a significantly difference between esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and normal esophageal mucoma ( P<0. 05 ) . The expression of Periostin was related to the depth of invasion and the metastasis of lymph node (P<0. 05). A dramatic correlation has been found in the expression of VEGF to the degrees of differentiation, the depth of invasion and the metastasis of lymph node (P<0. 05). The expression of Peri-ostin was also positively correlated with the expression of VEGF (P<0. 05). Follow-up data was available in 66 cases with a range of 1 to 48 months. Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed survival rate of Periostin-positive group was significantly lower than that of Perios-tin-negative group (P<0. 05). The survival rate of VEGF-positive group was significantly lower than that of VEGF-negative group (P<0. 05). Conclusion The expression of Periostin has a close relationship with VEGF in the carcinogenesis, combined detection of both Periostin and VEGF can become an objective target to evaluate Potentials of invasion and lymph node metastasis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, which has a great significance to the judgment of prognosis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Objectiye To measure longitudinal (T1) and transverse (T2 ) relaxation time of metabolites in m. soleus (SOL) and m. tibialis anterior TA of healthy volunteers at 3.0 T through 1H-MRS and optimize measurement protocols. Methods Altogether 24 healthy volunteers were recruited in the study. All subjects signed a letter of informed consent. After divided into 2 groups randomly by the table of random number, 1H-MRS measurements with stimulated echo acquisition mode (STEAM) sequence were undertaken in SOL and TA separately. Progressive saturation method was used for T1 measurement. Spectra with 8 different TRs (770,900,1000, 1100,1200,1500,2000 and 3000ms ) were acquired with TE=20 ms.T2 time was measured by changing TE. Altogether 8 TEs (20,30,45,60,90,135,200 and 270 ms) were used with TR = 3000 ms. Metabolites' concentration was calculated through T1 and T2 correction using water as internal reference. The t test was used for statisties. Results Altogether 22 groups of data were gained ( 12 for SOL, 10 for TA ) . T1 value of water, Creatine-CH3 ( Cr3 ), Trimethyl amonium ( TMA ),extramyocellular lipid (EMCL) and intramyocellular lipid (IMCL) in SOL were ( 1384. 0 ± 36. 9 ),( 1064. 0 ± 167.0), (964. 2 ± 144. 0 ), ( 373.0 ± 46. 8 ), ( 374. 7 ± 20. 6) ms respectively and T2 value were (26.5 ±1.2), (100.2±19.3), (149. 1 ±32.7), (81.4±5.2), (84.7±4.2) ms. InTA T1 value of water, Cr3, TMA, EMCL, and IMCL were ( 1307. 0 ± 24.4), (945.7 ± 132. 0), (968.3 ± 127. 0),(372. 7 ± 39. 2), (412. 8 ±80. 2) ms respectively and T2 value were (27. 1 ± 0. 9), (135.3 ± 18. 2 ),(62.1 ± 6. 0), ( 84. 3 ± 4. 0 ), ( 90. 7 ± 3.2 ) ms. After corrected by the calculated relaxation times, the concentrations of Cr3 in SOL and TA were (33. 1 ± 3.7) and (31.7 ± 3. 1 ) mmol/kg respectively, TMA (35.2±3.2) and (32.9 ±5.2) mmol/kg, EMCL (12.2 ±5.0) and (8.9 ±4.9) mmol/kg, IMCL (9. 0 ± 2. 4) and (3.0 ± 0. 8 ) mmoL/kg. IMCL in TA was much lower than SOL with statistical significant ( t = 8. 044, P < 0. 01 ), the difference between other metabolites were not statistically significant( t = 0. 926,1. 264, 1. 542, P > 0. 05 ) . Conclusions Accurate relaxation time was measured at 3.0 T of the metabolites in skeletal muscles of healthy adult human. After corrected by the relaxation times, the absolute concentrations calculated were consistent with the reported results. Quantitative knowledge of muscle NMR relaxation time was a prerequisite for absolute quantification of metabolites using the 1H-MRS and also was useful for optimizing measurement protocols.

Objective To investigate the impact of pelvic muscle training (PFMT) on the quality of life (QOL) and incidence of postoperative complications in stress urinary incontinence (SUI) patients after tension-free vaginal tape surgery (TVT). In order to provide evidence for clinical nurses taking measures to promote rehabilitation of postoperative patients. Methods A total of 101 female SUI patients who underwent TVT surgery were included in this study. 50 patients in the trial group received pelvic muscle training guidance by one-to-one for 3months while 51 patients in the control group were instructed to the routine discharge guidance. All patients were asked to finish the Incontinence-specific Quality of Life questionnaire (I-QOL) at the day before surgery and 3 months after the surgery, respectively. And incidence of postoperative complications were evaluated at 3 months after the surgery. Results A total of 94 participants completed all questionnaires, including 48 patients of the trial group and 46 patients of the control group. The postoperative score of I-QOL in the trial group were higher than that of control group (94.32 vs. 90.34, Z=3.863, P<0.01). Further analysis found that avoidance and limiting behaviors domain score (90.63 vs.87.50, Z=3.227, P<0.01) and psychosocial impacts domain score (97.22 vs. 90.28, Z=4.186, P<0.01) in the trial group were higher than that of control group. The incidence of postoperative urgency urinary incontinence was significantly difference between the two groups (χ2=4.953,P=0.026), the proportion were 16.67% (8/48) in the trial group and 36.96% (17/46) in the control group, respectively. According to the results, the patients′overall quality of life of the trial group was better than that of control group after surgery. Conclusions Postoperative SUI patients′implementation of pelvic muscle training can significantly increase their quality of life and can decrease the incidence of urgency urinary incontinence.

AIM: To investigate the urinary protein (UP) excretion in rats suffering from renal ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) and effect of nitric oxide on it. METHODS: SD rats were used to establish the renal I-R model. Sodium nitroprusside (SNP), N ?-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA) and aminoguanidine (AG) were used to determine the effect of nitric oxide on UP excretion under renal I-R. Quantitative analysis of UP was made by chromatometry. UP species were separated by SDS-PAGE. RESULTS: Renal I-R caused significant increase in UP ( P
