OBJECTIVETo study the ECG features in children with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), and related factors for the occurrence of arrhythmia secondary to DCM.

METHODSData from 68 children with DCM from January 1998 to March 2011 were studied. The children were classified into three groups: severe arrhythmia (n=42), non-severe arrhythmia (n=20) and non-arrhythmia (n=6). Left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVED), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS) were compared.

RESULTSAbnormal ECG results were found in all of the 68 children with DCM. Sinus tachycardia (91%) and ectopic pulsatile (86%) were common. LVED in the severe arrhythmia group (74±6 mm) was greater than that in the non-severe arrhythmia group (65±4 mm; P<0.05) and non-arrhythmia group (61±3 mm; P<0.05). LVED in the non-severe arrhythmia group was also greater than that in the non-arrhythmia group (P<0.05). LVEF and LVFS in the severe arrhythmia group were (30±11)% and (22±4)%, respectively, which were lower than those in the non-severe arrhythmia group［(37±12)% and (28±5)%, respectively］and non-arrhythmia group［(45±9)% and (34±7)%, respectively］(P<0.05). There were also significant differences in the LVEF and LVFS between the non-severe arrhythmia and non-arrhythmia groups (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONSThe common abnormal ECG findings are sinus tachycardia and ectopic pulsatile in children with DCM. Arrhythmia is one of the main clinical manifestations of DCM. The occurrence of arrhythmia is associated with the left ventricular size and heart function.

Objective To explore the effect of remind-to-move treatment on upper limb motor function,activities of daily living and participation in patients with subacute stroke. Methods From February,2016 to October,2017,45 patients with mild to medium upper limbs dysfunction after stroke were randomly assigned to control group(n=23)and experimental group(n=22).The control group accepted rou-tine occupational therapy,while the experimental group wore a wristwatch on the hemiplegic forearm to encour-age the predetermined training programs,for three weeks.They were measured with Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Up-per Extremity(FMA-UE),Function Independence Measurement(FIM),Motor Activity Log(MAL),and Stroke Impact Scale(SIS)before and after treatment. Results Both groups improved in part of the scores of three scales after treatment(P<0.05),and improved more in the experimental group than in the control group in scores of FMA-UE and FIM,and some sub-scores of MAL and SIS(t>1.183,P<0.05),with no significant difference in other indexes(P>0.05). Conclusion Remind-to-move treatment can promote the recovery of upper limb motor function,activities of daily living and participation in the patients with subacute stroke.

OBJECTIVETo study pathological and therapeutical problems concerning myocardial cell mitochondria changes during myocardial cell hypertrophy by culturing rat primary myocardial cells.

METHODPrimary myocardial cells were seperated and cultured together with angiotensin II (Ang II) for 72 or 96 hours. The total protein content with the BCA method and the photography and measurement of cell diameter with inverted microscope reflected myocardial cell proliferation. The mitochondrial membrane potential (Delta Psi m) with fluorescence microscope, the mitochondrial single amine oxidase (MAO) activity with spectrophotometer, the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase (COX) activity and the injury percentage of mitochondrial outer membrane with microplate reader and the contents of ATP, ADP, AMP with high performance liquid chromatography reflected the injury and energy metabolism of myocardial cell mitochondrial structure and function when being cultured together with Ang II. On that basis, cells were treated with Astragali Radix injection and valsartan for observing pharmacological effects on mitochondrial structure and function in restructured myocardial cells.

RESULTIn 72 h and 96 h, compare with the control group, the model group showed significantly increased total protein content and enlarged myocardial cell diameter. During the course of proliferation, the myocardial cell MAO activity and the injury percentage of mitochondrial outer membrane were significantly increased, with significant decrease in mitochondrial COX activity, mitochondrial Delta Psi m and the content of ATP, ADP and rise in the content of AMP. Astragali Radix injection and valsartan reduced myocardial cell total protein content and cell diameter caused by Ang II, decreased myocardial cell MAO activity, significantly increased mitochondrial COX activity and the content of ATP and ADP, and decreased the content of AMP.

CONCLUSIONDuring the process of myocardial hypertrophy, the injury of mitochondrial structure and function and the changes in myocardial cell energy metabolism injury occurred after the injury of mitochondria. Astragali Radix injection and valsartan can reverse myocardial cell mitochondrial structure and function during myocardial cell hypertrophy caused by Ang II. Reversion of myocardial cell hypertrophy and restructuring of myocardial cells helps improve energy metabolism of the myocardial cells.

The comparative efficacy of 2 anthelmintics (ivermectin and levamisole) against Baylisascaris transfuga migrating and encapsulated larvae was studied in mice. A total of 60 BALB/c mice inoculated each with about 1,000 embryonated B. transfuga eggs were equally divided into 6 groups (A-F) randomly. Mice of groups A and B were treated with ivermectin and levamisole, respectively, on day 3 post-infection (PI). Mice of groups A-C were killed on day 13 PI. Similarly, groups D and E were treated with ivermectin and levamisole, respectively, on day 14 PI, and all mice of groups D-F were treated on day 24 PI. The groups C and F were controls. Microexamination was conducted to count the larvae recovering from each mouse. The percentages of reduction in the number of migrating larvae recovered from group A (ivermectin) and B (levamisole) were 88.3% and 81.1%, respectively. In addition, the reduction in encapsulated larvae counts achieved by ivermectin (group D) and levamisole (group E) was 75.0% and 49.2%, respectively. The results suggested that, to a certain extent, both anthelmintics appeared to be more effective against migrating larvae than encapsulated larvae. However, in the incipient stage of infection, ivermectin may be more competent than levamisole as a larvicidal drug for B. transfuga.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the number of drinking occasions per day and average amount consumed per drinking occasion of primary and middle school students in four cities of China, and understand the relationship among drinking occasion, average amount consumed per drinking occasion and total drinking water.

METHODSA total of 5914 primary and middle school students from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu were selected using multiple-stage random sampling method, and 5868 students completed the study from September to October in 2011. The detailed information of amounts and types of daily drinking water was recorded by subjects using a 24 hours measurement for seven consecutive days. Analysis of the relationship among drinking occasion, average amount consumed per drinking occasion and total drinking water was carried out.

RESULTSThe daily total drinking water of subjects was (1089 ± 540) ml; the daily number of drinking occasions was (4.7 ± 1.8) times, with 79.1% (4639/5868) of subjects reporting 6 or less drinking occasions. The amount consumed per drinking occasion was (239 ± 96) ml, plain water (231 ± 112) ml, and beverages (237 ± 112) ml. The number of drinking occasions of subjects was positively correlated with total drinking water (r = 0.614, P < 0.05), and negatively correlated with the average amount consumed per drinking occasion (r = -0.211, P < 0.05). Total drinking water and the average amount consumed per drinking occasion was positively correlated (r = 0.598, P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe number of drinking occasion of primary and middle school students more than 6 times was fewer in four cities of China, but the average amount of beverages consumed per drinking occasion was relatively more. With the increasing of drinking occasion, the average amount consumed per drinking occasion decreased, but total drinking water increased.

The purpose of this study was to compare the detection of trisomy 8 in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients with interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and cytogenetic karyotype analysis. Using Spectrum Green labeled chromosome 8 centromere probe, interphase FISH was established. The trisomy 8 clones were simultaneously detected in 48 MDS cases with FISH and conventional cytogenetic analysis (CCA). Results showed that the CCA revealed no significant difference of constitutional proportion between MDS-RA and MDS-RAEB with karyotypes of whole +8, partial +8 and one +8. With FISH, detectable rates were 66.1% for whole +8. Partial +8 and sole +8 were significantly higher than one +8 and complex +8, respectively. The percentages of trisomy 8 were similar in MDS-RA and MDS-RAEB. Trisomy 8 was detected in 1 of 15 specimens with normal or abnormal karyotype without trisomy 8 by FISH. There was linear correlation between the percentages of partial +8 detected by FISH and CCA. Two patients received CCA and FISH examination at diagnosis and during treatment, the percentage of trisomy 8 was increased with progress of disease. In conclusion, our results showed that FISH is a sensitive and accurate technique to detect trisomy 8 in MDS patients. It can provide contribute to diagnosis, assessment of curative effect and predicting progress of disease in MDS. Clone size of trisomy 8 does not related to classification of MDS, but sole +8 is seems to see in MDS-RA frequently.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the regulatory effect of Jingang Jiangu pill (see text, JGJG) on expression of integrin in ovariectomized rats.

METHODSFifty ovariectomized 10 months old female rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: Fushanmei group (FSM), Jingang Jiangu pill (see text) group (JGJG), Gusongbao granule group (GSB), Model group (OVX), Sham group. After ovariectomized,the rats were raised in the same environment for 13 weeks. The rats in JGJG group took 0.13 g JGJG pill orally each day for each rat; the rats in GSB group took 0.86 g GSB granule orally each day for each rat; the rats in FSM group took 0.28 mg FSM orally each day for each rat; and the rats in OVX and sham groups took sodium. The treatment duration of rats in above 5 groups was 13 weeks. Bone mineral density (BMD) and the expression of integrin beta1 and alphavbeta3 were detected in each group after the treatment. RESYKTS: The BMD and the expression of integrin beta1 in FSM group, JGJG group and GSB group improved obviously than that of OVX group. There were statistical difference between these groups (P<0.05). The expression of integrin alphavbeta3 of the three treating groups significantly depressed.

CONCLUSIONThe JGJG pill improves BMD and express of integrin beta1, in ovariectomized rats and reduces express of integrin alphavbeta3 through the regulation of the coupling of osteoblasts and osteoclasts.
