Objective Even after successful surgical repair,patients with coarctation of the aorta (CoA) are at high risk of long-term morbidity and mortality due to cardiovascular events,which is probably related to persistent arterial disfunction during long-terr follow-up after operation,The aim of the study was to explore the alterations of vascular structure and function in children with successfully repaired CoA in the short-and mid-term follow-up.Methods A cohort of 20 children who underwent CoA repair between January 2010 and October 2010 in Guangzhou women and children's Medical Center was studied.There were 14 males and 6 females in CoA group,which comprised 6 patients with isolated CoA,14 patients with CoA associated with intracardia anomalies,whose median age of operation was 4 months (rang from lmonth to 10.0 years).And 20 patients with isolated ventricular septal defect (VSD) were included as VSD group during the same time,with 12 males and 8 females,whose median age of operation was 5 months (rang from 1 month to 12.0 years).Resting blood pressure,flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery,carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) were compared in CoA group and VSD group,including preoperative media data and follow-up of 1 month,6 months and 1 year.In addition,as comparison to the operation group,20 health children with normal echocardiographic findings,whose median age was 5 months (rang from 3 month to 10.0 years),were selected as health group for the 1-year following up.None of them had obesity,hyperlipidemia,diabetes mellitus,metabolic diseases or systemic inflammatory disease.Results As a result of the datas before operation and those I month,6 months and 1 year after operation,all children were normotensive at rest.In the same period,Carotid IMT in CoA group[(0.47 ± 0.10)mm,(0.49 ±0.10) mm,(0.57 ±0.07)mm,(0.61 ± 0.07) mm]was significantly thicker than that in VSD group[(0.41 ±0.11) mm,(0.43 ±0.11)mm,(0.51 ±0.08) mm,(0.55 ±0.08) mm](P<0.05) and health group[(0.40 ±0.09) mm,(0.42 ±0.11)mm,(0.50 ±0.08) mm,(0.57 ±0.08) mm](P <0.05),Brachial artery FMI in children with CoA[(5.4,6 ±1.51)%,(5.71 ±1.88)%,(5.42±1.69)%,(5.27±1.02)%]was significantly lower than that in the VSD control group[(6.69±1.45) %,(6.66±1.21)%,(6.81 ±1.03)%,(6.43±1.34)%](P<0.05) and health group[(6.59 ±1.84)%,(6.84±1.41)%,(6.91 ±1.31)%,(6.56±1.62)%](P<0.05).Significant difference could not be found in neither the IMT nor the FMI between the VSI control group and health group in 4 period respectively,P > 0.05.Conclusion Children after successful coarctation repair have abnomal structural and functional properties of the aorta above the place of coarctation even their blood pressure at rest is normal.These results confirm that the alterations in mechanical properties of carotid arteries as well as the generalized endothelial dysfunction in children with coarctation of the aorta are persistent,which can not be prevented or reversed by surgical repair,and which may partly explain the high incidence of cardiovascular disease observed in their adulthood and reduced life expectancy,furtherly supporting the claim that coartation of the aorta is a systemic vascular disorder which needs long-term follow-up of vascular function.

Objective To summarize the phenotypic spectrum of cerebral autosomal-dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) in Fujian population,evaluate the efficiency of the scale and try to adjust it.Methods Thirty-eight CADASIL patients and 64 CADASIL-like patients were recruited based on the CADASIL scale and gene tests,who visited the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University and Fujian Neurology Research Institute from May 2011 to November 2017.Their clinical and neuroimaging characteristics were analyzed.Results The migraine,migraine with aura,transient ischemic attack / stroke,early onset age,psychiatric disturbances,cognitive decline,leukoencephalopathy,subcortical infarcts showed no statistically significant differences between the two groups.Instead,compared with CADASIL-like patients (10/64,15.6%;47/64,73.4%;10/64,15.6%),CADASIL patients demonstrated higher percentages of temporal pole involvements (13/38,34.2%;x5=4.716,P=0.030),external capsule involvements (36/38,94.7%;P=0.008) and family history in at least two generations (13/38,34.2%;x2=4.716,P=0.030).According to the scale,the scores showed statistically significant difference between CADASIL (14.84 ± 3.03) and CADASIL-like patients (13.34 ± 3.31;t=2.282,P=0.025) with an area under receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.622.Conclusions CADASIL showed no specific symptoms in Fujian population.The neuroimaging features were proposed to be focused on,especially the external capsule involvements.CADASIL scale could improve diagnostic efficiency,but still needs to be adjusted for Fujian population.The weight value of migraine,migraine with aura and cognitive decline was suggested to be decreased.

Objective :
To investigate the effects of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) on the biophysical properties and cytoskeleton structure of human hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HCCs) .
Methods:
HepG2 cells were respectively treated with 0 , 0. 01 , 0. 1 , 1 , 5 , 10 μmol/L AFB1 for 24 h and 48 h , and the cell viability was measured by CCK⁃8 kit.Based on this result , the influences of 10 μmol/L AFB1 on the osmotic fragility , membrane fluidity , electrophoretic mobility (EPM) and F ⁃actin structure of cells were analyzed. Subsequently , total RNAs were extracted and the PCR.
Results:
The increased viability of HepG2 cells was induced by AFB1 in a dose⁃dependent manner after 48h
treatment. After treated with 10 μmol/L AFB1 , the anti⁃hypotonic ability and EPM of HepG2 cells were en⁃hanced. The content of F ⁃actin in HepG2 cells increased obviously , while the mRNA expression levels of the main cytoskeleton binding proteins were altered.
Conclusion
AFB1 can affect the biophysical properties , cytoskeleton structure and its binding proteins of HepG2 cells , which may be directly related to its toxic action.
