Objective To investigate the changes in platele aciveation in terms of platelet fibrinogen receptor expression(PAC-1),P-selectin(CD62P),Thromboxane B2(TXB2),Endothlin(ET-1),Fibrinogen(FIB)in patients undergoing elective Sirolimus-eluting stents implantation and dual anti-platelet therapy.Methods Forty in-hospital patients with stable coronary heart disease(CHD)were enrolled in this study.Dural anti-platelet therapy with aspirin and clopidogrel were prescribed at least three days before operation to achieve sufficient inhibition of platelet activation in all patients.Peripheral artery blood samples were collected before the procedures,immediately and at 6 hours and 24 hours after the procedure,levels of PAC-1,CD62P,TXB2,ET-1 and FIB were measured.All patients were followed up for 6-12 months.Results Expression of PAC-1 and CD62P was increased significantly after stenting compared with pre-stenting and the peak appeared at 6 hours post-operation(PAC-1,P=0.001,CD62P,P=0.007,PAC1+CD62P,P=0.003).TXB2 was also increased and the peak appeared at 24 hours post operation(P=0.021).Plasma levels of ET-1 and FIB showed no difference before and after stenting.After CAG,expression of PAC-1 and CD62P,levels of TXB2,ET-1 and FIB had no significant differences compared with pre-CAG.No MACE happened in all patients.Conclusion The routine dual anti-platelet therapy cannot suppress platelet activation after elective coronary Sirolimus-eluting stents implantation.Plasma FIB and ET-1 levels were not affected by stents implantation.

Objective: Epi-LASIK appeared to be effective and safe in the treatment of high myopia,but some patients complain about visual symptoms postoperation.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the high order aberrations(HOAs) of the vision-decreased eyes treated by Epi-LASIK,and to analyze the causes of postoperative glare,scieropia and monocular diplopia.Methods: We evaluated 76 eyes of 49 patients treated by Epi-LASIK with a questionnaire three months after surgery,and from them selected 34 eyes of 27 patients who scored less than 80 points and complained of postoperative visual symptoms,including glare(25 eyes in 20 patients),scieropia(7 eyes in 5 patients)and monocular diplopia(2 eyes in 2 patients).Another 42 symptom-free eyes of 22 patients treated by Epi-LASIK were included in the control group.The root mean square(RMS) of total HOAs,coma and SA were determined with the iTrace Visual Function Analyzer from the central 6.0 mm zone,and the modulation transfer function(MTF) was simulated with the iTrace 3.1 software.Results: Significant differences were found in the RMS of total HOAs,coma and SA between the eyes with visual symptoms and those without,and the values of ablation zone decentration were significantly higher in the former than in the latter(P

Objective To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of entecavir and lamivudine in treatment of early stage acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF),and analyze the predictive factors.Methods Forty nine patients with early ACLF were enrolled.Of which,28 patients were treated with entecavir,and 21 patients were treated with lamivudine.Mortality,length of hospital stay,cost,liver function,coagulation function,and model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score were compared between two groups.Pharmacoeconomic evaluation was taken using cost-effectiveness analysis and cost minimization analysis.Results Mortality,length of hospital stay and cost had no significant difference between two groups.Ratio of costeffectiveness in lamivudine group was higher than that in entecavir group.Cox analysis showed that primary peritonitis and MELD score at the end of the second week were the main predictive factors.Conclusions Entecavir cannot improve the survival rate of early stage ACLF compared to lamivudine,but may provide economic benefit to patients with early stage ALCF.

Objective To investigate the endoluminal ultrasonographie characteristics of adenoearcinoma and mucous adenocareinoma of the rectum. Methods The ultrasonographie characteristics of thirty eases of advanced adenoeareinoma of the rectum and twenty-eight eases of rectal mucous adenoearcinoma were analyzed retrospectively in comparison with their eorresponding pathologic images. Results In advanced adenocareinoma of the rectum, 28 eases manifested rough endoluminal surface, of which 19 marked by thickened changes without arrangement of layers, 10 had indistinct arrangement of layers in some areas and one had clear arrangement of layers. In the deepest margin of infiltration, 17 eases manifested sentus, homed or knot-like protuberance, while 5 marked by wavy margins, and 8 cases had clear and fiat margins. In 25 eases of rectal mucous adenocareinoma, 20 manifested smooth endoluminal surface. With regard to infiltration of tumors to rectal wall, 6 cases manifested clear arrangement of layers, while 13 had clear arrangement of layers in part and 6 had no clear arrangement. In the deepest part of infiltration, 8 eases manifested slippery and fiat margins and 10 manifested wavy margins and 7 had a few sentus, homed or knot-like protuberance locally. According to ultrasonic results of the depth of infiltration to rectal wall in comparison with pathologic findings, 25 eases were diagnosed accurately, while in two cases the diagnosis was too shallow and in three eases it was too deep. In rectal mucous adenocarcinoma, 10 cases got correct diagnosis and 14 were diagnosed superficially and one got too deep. The accuracy of ultrasonic diagnosis on rectal mueoas adenoearcinoma was apparently lower than that of adenoeareinoma and most of the misdiagnosis were too superfieiai. Conclusion There are different ultrasonographie characteristics of rectal adenoeareinoma and rectal mucous adenoeareinoma, which can be helpful for the typing of rectal carcinoma and avoiding excessively superficial misdiagnosis.

Objective: To observe the effect of chronic psychological stress on change of function of learning and memory, and CD4, and CD8 in mice. Methods: 50 BALB/c mice were randomly divided into control group and immobilization stress group (n=25 in each group). The mice mode of stress was made by restraint for 6 hours per day. Suspend tail test was performed on change of behaviors in mice. RIA was employed to measure levels of neuropeptide Y in the brain. Results: Compared with the control group, the mean escape latency of the mice in the chronic restraint groups was longer than that of the control mice (P

OBJECTIVE: A case of half sibling was determined with multiple genetic markers, which could be potentially applied for determination of half sibling relationship from same father. METHODS: Half sibling relationship was detected by 39 autosomal STR genetic markers, 23 Y-chromosomal STR genetic markers and 12 X -chromosomal STR genetic markers among ZHAO -1, ZHAO -2, ZHAO -3, ZHAO -4, and ZHAO-5. RESULTS: According to autosomal STR, Y-STR and X-STR genotyping results, it was determined that ZHAO-4 (alleged half sibling) was unrelated with ZHAO-1 and ZHAO-2; however, ZHAO-3 (alleged half sibling), ZHAO-5 (alleged half sibling) shared same genetic profile with ZHAO-1, and ZHAO-2 from same father. CONCLUSION It is reliable to use multiple genetic markers and family gene reconstruction to determine half sibling relationship from same father, but it is difficult to determination by calculating half sibling index with ITO and discriminant functions.
