Objective To investigate the risk factors for postpartum cardiac events in pregnant women with heart diseases and to provide prenatal counseling for them.Methods A retrospective analysis was made in cases of pregnant women with heart diseases admitted to the surgical intensive care unit (SICU) of Anzhen Hospital from May 2004 to May 2012.Data were used to identify univariate and multivariate predictors for postpartum cardiac events.Results A total of 190 patients (≥ 20 weeks gestation) were enrolled in the study with 134 (70.5％) of congenital heart disease,30 (15.8％) of rheumatic heart disease,10 (5.3％) of cardiomyopathy,2 (1.1％) of peripartum cardiomyopathy and 14(7.4％) of hypertensive heart disease.Postpartum cardiac events were observed in 42 cases with the incidence of 22.1％.A total of 7 cases resulted in death with the mortality rate of 3.7％.Among them,5 cases were dead of circulatory collapse and pulmonary hypertensive crisis postpartum,while the other 2 cases with secondary pulmonary infection were died of respiratory and circulatory collapse.The baseline parameters of New York Heart Academy(NYHA) ＞ 1,left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ＜ 50％,use of cardiac drugs and pulmonary artery hypertension(PAH) ＞ 80 mm Hg(1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa) were the independent predictors for postpartum cardiac events by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis.Conclusions The incidence of postpartum cardiac events is high in pregnant women with heart diseases.Pulmonary artery hypertension and heart failure are the main causes of death.

Host genetic, environmental and viral factors are classified as three categories that determine clinical outcomes of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. The objective of this study was to detect the associations between polymorphisms rs346473 and rs346482 in Rho GTPase-activating protein 24 (ARHGAP24) gene and disease progression of HBV infection in Han Chinese population. These two SNPs were found by our DNA pooling using Affymetrix Genome-Wide Human Mapping SNP6.0 Array in HBV carriers, and verified by using TaqMan 7900HT Sequence Detection System with 758 progressed HBV carriers versus 300 asymptomatic HBV carriers (AsC) in a discovery phase and 971 progressed HBV carriers versus 328 AsC in a replication phase. Multivariable logistic regression revealed that individuals with genotype TT at variant rs346473 displayed remarkable correlations with disease progression of HBV infection both in the discovery phase (OR, 2.693; 95% CI, 1.928-3.760; P=6.2×10(-9); additive model) and the replication phase (OR, 1.490; 95% CI, 1.104-2.012; P=9.0×10(-3); additive model). These two SNPs were in strong linkage disequilibrium with D'=0.99 and r (2)=0.951, and haplotype TT disclosed an increased susceptibility to HBV progression (OR, 1.980; 95% CI, 1.538-2.545; P=8.1×10(-8)). These findings suggest that polymorphism rs346473 in the ARHGAP24 gene might be a part of the genetic variants underlying the susceptibility of HBV carriers to disease progression.

Objective To investigate the relationship between medical college students' music preference and positive emotion,subjective well-being as well as life satisfaction.Methods A self-designed music preference questionnaire,the Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS),Index of Well-being (IWB)and Life Satisfaction Scales Applicable to College Students (CSLSS) were used to test 571 college students and SPSS 20.0 was adopted to establish the database of all the data for statistical description,t test and Analysis of Variance.Results ① the positive emotion scores of medical college students who are fond of lively music and calm music (average scores are 29.91 and 29.14 respectively) are significantly higher than those of students who like sorrow music (average score is 27.31);the positive emotion score for the students who are active in music activities is obviously higher than that of the students who are passive to accept music.② the index of subject well-being for medical college students who are fond of lively music and calm music (average scores are 10.46 and 10.40 respectively) is significantly higher than that for the students who like sorrow music (average score is 9.60).③ in terms of the attitude towards the music participation,the scores in objective life satisfaction (P＜0.05),subjective life satisfaction (P＜0.01) and general life satisfaction (P＜0.01) for medical college students who participate in music activity with others are significantly higher than those for students involved in music activity alone.Conclusion Medical college students' positive emotions,subjective well-being as well as life satisfaction and music preferences are closely related.In the process of psychological health education,attaching great importance to the cultivation and guidance of medical students music preferences will play a positive role in the psychological health for medical college students.

Objective: To explore the influence of different cement spaces on the marginal adaptation of CAD/CAM zirconia inlay. Methods: 30 teeth extracted for orthodontic purpose were selected and divided into 3 groups (Group A 10 μm, Group B 30 μm, Group C 50 μm). The marginal spaces of inlays were recorded by the light-body Silicone impression material, and measured by microscope. The data were analyzed by SPSS 13.0. Results : All the inlays fitted very well and all the marginal spaces were less than 120 μm. The shoulder of Group A was statistically lower than Group B and Group C (P < 0.05). The axial surface of Group B was statistically lower than Group C (P < 0.05). Conclusions CEREC zirconia inlay is satisfactory when the cement space is between 10-50 μm.

【Objective】 To establish a method to determine the content of the effective ingredient PCA (p-coumaric acid) in Shuang Bailian mixture and to investigate its anti-cancer mechanism. 【Methods】 High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to determine the content of PCA in Shuang Bailian mixture. The CCK8 method was used to detect the antitumor activity of PCA on esophageal cancer cells and the semi-inhibitory concentration of PCA on esophageal cancer cells. Moreover, the nude mice were used to investigate the anticancer effect of PCA. Western blotting was used to detect the expressions of apoptosis-related proteins (cleaved caspase 3, cleaved PARP, Bad, Bcl-2, PI3K, AKT, p-PI3K and p-AKT) in esophageal cancer cells and tumor tissues of nude mice. 【Results】 The concentration of PCA in Shuang Bailian mixture was 16.84 μg/mL. The linear regression equation of PCA was y=204 402x +360 904 (15-40 μg/mL), the RSD of the precision experiment was 2.66%, the RSD of the stability experiment was 2.35%, 3.22%, 1.58%, and 4.08%, respectively. The RSD of the repeatability experiment was 4.01%. The mean value of the recovery rate was 97.83% and the RSD value was 6.16%. CCK8 results showed that the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of PCA in KYSE30 and KYSE140 cells was 36 μg/mL and 55 μg/mL, respectively. The results of nude mice tumor experiments showed that after 30 days of administration, the tumor xenograft in control mice continued to increase in size, while the cisplatin group, PCA group, and PCA combined with cisplatin administration could effectively inhibit the growth of transplanted tumors in tumor-bearing mice. In addition, Western blotting results showed that compared with the control group, the cisplatin group, PCA group, and PCA combined with cisplatin group could effectively increase the protein expressions of cleaved caspase 3, cleaved PARP, and Bad, but decrease the protein expressions of Bcl-2, p-PI3K, and p-AKT in tumor tissues and KYSE30 and KYSE140 esophageal cancer cells. 【Conclusion】 The concentration of PCA in Shuang Bailian mixture was 16.84 μg/mL, and the HPLC content determination method conditions were sensitive and stable. PCA may have an active anti-tumor effect by regulating the PI3K/AKT/Bcl-2 signaling pathway and inducing apoptosis in esophageal cancer cells.

Based on the noninvasive detection indeices and fuzzy mathematics method, this paper studied the noninvasive, convenient and economical cardiovascular health assessment system. The health evaluation index of cardiovascular function was built based on the internationally recognized risk factors of cardiovascular disease and the noninvasive detection index. The weight of 12 indexes was completed by the analytic hierarchy process, and the consistency test was passed. The membership function, evaluation matrix and evaluation model were built by fuzzy mathematics. The introducted methods enhanced the scientificity of the evaluation system. Through the Kappa consistency test, McNemer statistical results ( = 0.995 > 0.05) and Kappa values (Kappa = 0.616, < 0.001) suggest that the comprehensive evaluation results of model in this paper are relatively consistent with the clinical, which is of certain scientific significance for the early detection of cardiovascular diseases.

Objective: To explore the efficacy and prognostic factors of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for the treatment of patients with anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) . Methods: The clinical records of 33 ALCL patients after HSCT were collected and analyzed retrospectively to evaluate the rates of overall survival (OS) and recurrence after autologous (auto-HSCT) and allogeneic HSCT (allo-HSCT) and the factors influencing prognosis. Results: The median-age of this cohort of 33 ALCL cases at diagnosis was 31 (12-57) years old with a male/female ratio of 23/10, 24 cases (72.7%) were ALK⁺ and 9 ones (27.3%) ALK^-. Of them, 25 patients (19 ALK⁺ and 6 ALK^-) underwent auto-HSCT and 8 cases (5 ALK⁺ and 3ALK^-) allo-HSCT with a median follow-up of 18.7 (4.0-150.0) months. Disease states before HSCT were as follows: only 6 patients achieved CR status and received auto-HSCT, 16 patients achieved PR (14 cases by auto-HSCT and 2 ones allo-HSCT) , the rest 11 cases were refractory/relapse (5 cases by auto-HSCT and 6 ones allo-HSCT) . There were 7 cases died of disease progression (5 after auto-HSCT and 2 allo-HSCT) and 5 cases treatment-related mortality (TRM) (2 after auto-HSCT and 3 allo-HSCT) , TRM of two groups were 8.0% and 37.5%, respectively. Both the median progression-free survival (PFS) and OS were 15 months after auto-HSCT, the median PFS and OS after allo-HSCT were 3.7 (1.0-90.0) and 4.6 (1.0-90.0) months, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in terms of survival curves between the two groups (OS and PFS, P=0.247 and P=0.317) . The 2-year OS rates in auto-HSCT and allo-HSCT groups were 72% and 50%, respectively. The 5-year OS rates in auto-HSCT and allo-HSCT groups were 36% and 25%, respectively. Conclusion ALCL treated by chemotherapy produced high rates of overall and complete responses. Chemotherapy followed by auto-HSCT remained to be good choice for patients with poor prognostic factors. High-risk patients should be considered more beneficial from allo-HSCT.
