Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of 64-row VCT coronary angiography(CTA) in diagnosing coronary artery disease.Methods 64-row VCT coronary angiography(CTA) and cathter coronary angiography(CAG) were performed in 173 patients with suspected coronary artery disease.All images were analysed at GE AW4.3 workstation,the constructed images included maximum intensity projection(MIP),mlti-planar reconstruction(MPR) and volume rendering(VR).The results were compared with that of CAG.Results 746 segments of coronary artery with diameter ＞1.5 mm were showed by CTA in 173 patients.The sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the CTA in detecting coronary arterial stenosis were 94.15%(193/203),95.90% and 89.77% and 97.90% respectively.Statistical analysis using a 2-related χ~2 test showed that there were no obvious differences in diagnosing coronary arterial stenosis between CTA and CAG(χ~2=1.58,P＞0.05) and in evaluating the stenosis degree of coronary artery(Kappa=0.890,P＜0.001).Conclusion 64-row VCT has important clinical value in screening coronary arterial disease and in following-up post operational effectiveness of coronary stent implantation and vascular bypass.

Background and objective To assess the predictive value of C-reactive protein(CRP) for major adverse cardiac events and the association between CRP level and the coronary lesion morphology and extent in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD).Methods CRP was measured on admission in 177 consecutive elderly (age≥60 years) patients with CHD who underwent coronary angiography. Patients were divided into high CRP group (CRP≥3mg/L) and normal CRP group (CRP ＜3mg/L). The association between CRP levels and the coronary lesion features, including severity of stenosis (mild, moderate, severe), extent of lesion (diffused or nondiffused), eccentricity of the plaque (eccentric or non-eccentric) were analyzed. Patients were followed up for a mean of 8 months for the occurrences of major adverse cardiac events (MACE). Results Compared with patients in normal CRP group, patients in high CRP group were more frequently to have unstable angina, multi-vessel, diffuse, eccentric lesions, positive remodeling, and non-smooth plaques (P＜0.01). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed patients in high CRP group had a significantly lower MACE-free survival rate than patients in normal CRP group (Log-rank = 12.0, P＜0.01); Cox regression analysis indicated CRP level as an independent predictor for the occurrence of MACE (OR=3.16, P＜0.05) Conclusions High CRP level is associated with more extend, severe and eccentric coronary lesions and is an independent predictor for MACE in elderly patients with CHD.

The ionic liquid butylamine 2,5-dihydroxybenzoate (DHB-BuN) was chosen as the matrix for improving repeatability of oligosaccharides quantitation, and imaging oligosaccharides in soybean and leaf by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS).Using the ionic liquid matrix methanol solution (20%, V/V) to cover sample slice, and setting MS acquisition parameters including polarity as positive and laser power as 70%, the MS imaging experiment was performed to analyze oligosaccharides and their distribution in soyben and soybean leaf.As a result, the MALDI-MS analysis of 3 kinds of oligosaccharides including sucrose, raffinose and stachyose was performed using the ionic liquid matrix and the reproducibility RSDs were less than 3% for in-spot and less than 4% for spot-to-spot.The standard curves linear correlation coefficients (R2) were all no less than 0.996 between MS peak intensity and oligosaccharides concentraions in the concentration rage of 0.062-1.00 mg/mL, which showed quantitative power in MALDI-MS analysis.The matrix was used for MALDI-MS imaging analysis of soybean chips and soybean leaf surface disaccharide, trisaccharide and tetrasaccharide to obtain the soybean mass spectrum and spatial resolution of 150 μm of the three oligosaccharides imaging.Three kinds of oligosaccharides in the soybean roughly balanced distribution, and the oligosaccharides distribution in the leave was mostly at its tip part.The contents of the 3 kinds of oligosaccharides could be estimated by their MS peak intensity and above standard curve.The result suggested that the ionic liquid DHB-BuN matrix could be well applied in MALDI-MS imaging analysis of oligosaccharides in different sample.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the suicide attitudes of college students and analyze the impact of the perception of life purpose and meaning of life on their suicide attitudes using structural equation modeling.

METHODSA total of 1050 college students were tested by Suicide Attitude Questionnaire (QSA), Purpose in Life test (PIL) and Chinese version of Meaning of Life questionnaire (C-MLQ). A theoretical model was established for confirming the influence of the purpose in life and meaning in life on suicide attitudes of the college students.

RESULTSThe college students had generally a negative attitude towards suicide. The female students tended to show more objective attitudes towards suicide and the students from rural areas had a stronger attitude against euthanasia.The meanings and purposes in life were closely correlated with the attitudes towards suicide, and the structural equation modeling well fitted the data (Χ(2)/df=1.924, GFI=0.936, AGFI=0.915, NFI=0.937, CFI=0.940, and RMSEA=0.045). The perception of meaning and purposes in life had a direct predictive value on the suicide attitude of the college students, and the presumptions derived from the theoretical model were strongly supported by structural equation modeling.

CONCLUSIONSThe perceptions in meanings in life and purposes in livelihood have important influence on the suicide attitudes of college students, and intervention with effective life education should be administered to guide the suicide attitude of the college students.

Objective: To evaluate the outcomes of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) patients who received HLA-matched sibling donor allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (MSD-PBSCT) . Methods: The clinical data of 138 MDS patients received MSD-PBSCT from Sep. 2005 to Dec. 2017 were retrospectively analyzed, and the overall survival (OS) rate, disease-free survival (DFS) rate, relapse rate (RR) , non-relapse mortality (NRM) rate and the related risk factors were explored. Results: ①After a median follow-up of 1 050 (range 4 to 4 988) days, the 3-year OS and DFS rates were (66.6±4.1) % and (63.3±4.1) %, respectively. The 3-year cumulative incidence of RR and NRM rates were (13.9±0.1) % and (22.2±0.1) %, respectively. ②Univariate analysis showed that patients with grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) or hematopoietic cell transplantation comorbidity index (HCT-CI) ≥2 points or patients in very high-risk group of the Revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R) had significantly decreased OS[ (42.9±13.2) %vs (72.9±4.2) %, χ²=8.620, P=0.003; (53.3±7.6) %vs (72.6±4.7) %, χ²=6.681, P=0.010; (53.8±6.8) %vs (76.6±6.2) %vs (73.3±7.7) %, χ²=6.337, P=0.042]. For MDS patients with excess blasts-2 (MDS-EB2) and acute myeloid leukemia patients derived from MDS (MDS-AML) , pre-transplant chemotherapy or hypomethylating agents (HMA) therapy could not improve the OS rate[ (60.4±7.8) %vs (59.2±9.6) %, χ²=0.042, P=0.838]. ③Multivariate analysis indicated that the HCT-CI was an independent risk factor for OS and DFS (P=0.012, HR=2.108, 95%CI 1.174-3.785; P=0.008, HR=2.128, 95%CI 1.219-3.712) . Conclusions HCT-CI was better than the IPSS-R in predicting the outcomes after transplantation. The occurrence of grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ aGVHD is a poor prognostic factor for OS. For patients of MDS-EB2 and MDS-AML, immediate transplantation was recommended instead of receiving pre-transplant chemotherapy or HMA therapy.

Objective:To preliminarily estimate and study the effect of nucleic acid testing in blood screening on the residual risk (RR) of transfusion transmitted HBV infection (TTI HBV).Methods:Using the NAT yield/WP ratio model and adopting the relevant data of information management system of practice comparison working party in the Mainland of China, this paper analyzed the trend of the RR of TTI HBV among 18 blood centers from 2015 to 2019 in China, and compared the impact of two kinds of blood screening strategies which were ELISA+ ID-NAT/MP-NAT (individual-donation nucleic acid testing or mini-pool nucleic acid testing) and ELISA + MP-NAT on RR in 2019.Results:The overall trends of the 5-year RR of HBV among 18 blood centers showed by trend chi square test were NAT single positive rate trend χ2= 39.42( P<0.01) and residual risk trend χ2= 279.792( P<0.01); The influence on RR from the differences of ELISA+ ID-NAT/MP-NAT and ELISA+ MP-NAT was statistically significant, and chi square test showed that χ2= 7.4( P<0.01). Conclusions:Since the implementation of nucleic acid testing in the blood screening in China from 2015, the residual risk of transfusion transmitted HBV infection has decreased year by year. The observed two blood screening strategies which dominated in China may lead to discrepancy in the residual risk of TTI.
