Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of structural malformations in one of monochorionic diamnionic twins (MCDA). Methods The clinical data of 77 MCDA patients with structural malformations diagnosed by ultrasound were retrospectively reviewed from January 2012 to May 2017. The distribution of structural malformations, prenatal chromosomal karyotyping and pregnancy outcomes were analyzed. Results (1)Among the 77 MCDA patients with structural malformations, the single malformation accounted for 79%(61/77), the multiple malformations accounted for 21%(16/77). And there were a total of 94 types of malformations, the top three malformations were neurological malformations (32%, 30/94), cardiovascular malformations (29%,27/94) and twin reversed arterial perfusion sequence (TRAPS;10%,9/94). (2)Among the 77 patients with structural malformation, 64 cases (83%, 64/77) were examined for fetal chromosomes, of whom 14 cases (22%,14/64) were examined for fetal chromosomes of both twins, with 1 case (1/14) of discordant fetal chromosome. (3)Among the 77 patients, 4 cases (5%, 4/77) with severe fetal malformations terminated pregnancy. Totally 29 cases (38%, 29/77) with severe malformations were treated with selective fetal reduction, among whom 7 cases (24%, 7/29) experienced unexplained fetal death within 24 hours after the operation;2 cases (7%, 2/29) happened inevitable abortion, and 2 cases (7%, 2/29) underwent unexplained fetal death during the late pregnancy. Of the remaining 44 patients (57%,44/77) with expectant treatment, 13 cases (30%, 13/44) occurred twin transfusion syndrome (Ⅱ-Ⅳ), and were treated with fetoscopic laser occlusion. Eight patients had 2 survival twins, 4 patients delivered 1 survival twin, and 1 patient had dead twins. Conclusions The most common malformations in MCDA twins are the nervous malformations, cardiovascular malformations and TRAPS. The chromosome karyotype of MCDA twins with structural malformations are sometimes discordant, and separate samling of the twins is suggested for prenatal diagnosis. Selective fetal reduction could be given to severe structural malformation in MCDA patients safely and effectively. For non-severe structural malformation in MCDA patients with twin transfusion syndrome, fetoscopic laser occlusion is safe and effective.

ObjectiveTo investigate the current status of secondary prevention of stable angina in patients with coronary heart disease in three regions of China, namely Henan Province, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and Tianjin City, and analyze the the influencing factors. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted to include patients with stable angina with coronary heart disease in Henan, Tianjin and Xinjiang from August 10, 2020 to March 14, 2021. General information, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome elements, prescriptions and other data of patients were collected, and clinical characteristics, blood pressure, blood lipid and blood glucose of patients were analyzed; the patients were divided into groups according to whether their blood pressure, blood lipid and blood glucose were up to standard. With the most common syndrome element as the main variable, region, age and gender as covariables, Logistic regression equation was incorporated to analyze the influencing factors for the patients' blood pressure, blood lipid and blood glucose being up to standard. ResultsA total of 1061 coronary heart disease patients with stable angina were included, including 658 in Henan, 210 in Xinjiang, and 193 in Tianjin. The clinical characteristics of patients in the three regions showed statistical different in age, sex, disease course, complication, blood pressure, blood lipid, blood glucose, smoking, drinking, living habits, and medication treatment (P<0.05 or P<0.01). For the included patients, qi deficiency (79.55%, 844/1061) and blood stasis (39.96%, 424/1061) were the main syndrome elements. The overall compliance rate of blood pressure was 48.89% (506/1035), blood lipids 12.68% (133/1049) and blood glucose 48.18% (504/1046). Qi deficiency was the independent factor affecting the blood pressure of coronary heart disease patients with stable angina combined with hypertension (P = 0.029,95%CI [1.048, 2.369]), and the independent factors influencing the blood lipid standard of coronary heart disease patients with stable angina (P = 0.011, 95%CI [1.133, 2.646]), but not the independent factors affecting blood glucose standard in coronary heart disease patients with diabetes (P>0.05). ConclusionCoronary artery disease patients with stable angina have geographical variability in clinical characteristics and distribution of TCM syndrome elements, and the overall control of blood pressure, blood lipids, and blood glucose is poor, and qi deficiency syndrome is an independent risk factor affecting the control of blood pressure and blood lipids.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of Shenfu yixin decoction on reactive oxygen species (ROS) and energy metabolism in primary hypoxic cardiomyocytes. METHODS: After isolation, culture and identification, primary cardiomyocytes of neonatal SD rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, positive control group (coenzyme Q10, 0.1 mmol/L) and Shenfu yixin decoction low-dose and high-dose groups (0.25, 0.5 mg/mL). Except for normal group, other groups were cultured with 5%O2, 5%CO2 and 90%N2 for 6 h to induce hypoxic injury model. After 6 hours of hypoxia, ROS contents in cardiomyocytes and mitochondria of each group were detected by ROS probe and flow cytometry. Luciferase luminescence and Western blotting were used to detect ATP content and CK protein expression of each group. Transmission electron microscope was used to observe ultrastructure of cardiomyocytes in each group. RESULTS: Compared with normal group, the expression of ROS in primary hypoxic cardiomyocytes and mitochondria as well as the content of ROS were increased significantly, while the content of ATP and expression levels of CK protein were decreased significantly (P<0.05); there were swelling of endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria, dissolution or even disappearance of mitochondrial ridge, obvious cardiomyocytes injury. Compared with model group, the expression of ROS in primary hypoxic cardiomyocytes and mitochondria of administration groups, the contents of ROS in primary hypoxic cardiomyocytes of positive control group and Shenfu yixin decoction high-dose group as well as the content of ROS in primary hypoxic cardiomyocytes mitochondria of administration groups were all decreased significantly, while ATP contents in primary hypoxic cardiomyocytes of positive control group and Shenfu yixin decoction high-dose group as well as expression levels of CK protein in primary hypoxic cardiomyocytes of administration groups were all increased significantly (P<0.05). The primary hypoxic cardiomyocytes injury was relieved significantly in positive control group and Shenfu yixin decoction high-dose group. CONCLUSIONS: Shenfu yixin decoction can improve primary hypoxic cardiomyocytes, down-regulate the expression of ROS in cardiomyocytes and mitochondria and also improve its energy metabolism.

OBJECTIVE To explore the mechanism of Tingli dazao xiefei decoction on ventricular remodeling in model rats with heart failure after myocardial infarction. METHODS The rat model of heart failure after myocardial infarction was established by ligation of anterior descending branch of left coronary artery, which was divided into 8 groups: sham operation group, model group, A779 group (1 mg/kg), A779 (1 mg/kg)+Tingli dazao xiefei decoction equivalent-dose group (0.8 g/kg), A779 (1 mg/kg) +Tingli dazao xiefei decoction high-dose group (1.6 g/kg), Tingli dazao xiefei decoction equivalent-dose group (0.8 g/kg), Tingli dazao xiefei decoction high-dose group (1.6 g/kg) and losartan potassium group (10 mg/kg). Each group was given equal volume of distilled water or corresponding drugs intragastrically for 4 weeks. Masson staining was used to determine the distribution of collagen fibers in rat myocardium. The content of hydroxyproline (Hyp) in myocardium was determined by alkaline hydrolyzation. The expressions of type Ⅰ and Ⅲ collagen (COLⅠ, COLⅢ)in myocardium were detected by immunohisto-chemistry. Myocardial fibrosis-related indexes such as matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), MMP-9, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) and soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 (sST-2) were detected by ELISA. The protein expressions of angiotensin converting enzyme 2-angiotensin-(1-7)-Mas [ACE2-Ang-(1-7)-Mas] axis were detected by Western blot. RESULTS Compared with sham operation group, myocardial cells in model group and A779 group were disordered, collagen fiber deposition was significantly increased and myocardial fibrosis was obvious; the Hyp content and MMP-2, MMP-9, sST-2 levels were increased, and COL Ⅰ and COL Ⅲ positive expressions were significantly enhanced; TIMP-1 level, protein expressions of ACE2, Ang-(1-7) and Mas were significantly decreased (P<0.05). Compared with model group, above indexes of Tingli dazao xiefei decoction equivalent-dose and high-dose groups were improved to different extents. Compared with A779 group, A779+Tingli dazao xiefei decoction equivalent-dose and A779+high-dose groups could improve myocardial arrangement and collagen distribution, reduce the Hyp content and MMP-2, MMP-9 levels, reduce positive expressions of COL Ⅰ and COL Ⅲ (P<0.05), but couldn’t improve Ang-(1-7) and Mas protein expression. CONCLUSIONS Tingli dazao xiefei decoction can improve ventricular remodeling in myocardial failure model rats after myocardial infarction by improving the expression of ACE2- Ang(- 1-7)-Mas axis proteins.
