0.05), which were lower than that with manual compression. The failure rates were 8.3% and 9.2% respectively, but the vascular complications were less than 1%. Hematoma and femoral artery infection were seen in the PCI group, but happened less compared with manual compression. The removing of the arterial sheaths will not be limited by the anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapies, and it could be performed immediately after CAG and PCI, making hemostasis more easy to archeive. It could also reduce the burden of the medical staff, and be accepted by the patients. Conclusion Femoral arterial closure following PCI using regular and intensive anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapies could be safe and effective with vascular complication rates similar to or lower than with manual pressure.

Coronary heart disease(CHD) is the leading cause of death among women worldwide.Recent technological advances in cardiovascular diagnosis and treatment have not led to significant declines in mortality for women with CHD when compared to the dramatic declines for men.Owing to the gender differences of physiology and social circumstances,women with CHD may have different manifestations as compared to men with CHD.Recently,research has shown that women with CHD had mainly the following characteristics:special risk factors,atypical ischemia symptoms,multiple risk factors and comorbidities at initial physician consultation,higher under-treatment rate and higher mortality rate.At the same time,most CHD researches have paid little attention to women.Therefore,the current CHD guidelines may not be completely suitable for women.In order to improve the prevention and treatment of CHD in women,we advocate to enhance research and clinical work for women with CHD.

Objective: To study the effect of bifidobacterium-supplemented enteral nutrition in early postoperative patients with gastric cancer. Methods: 60 patients with gastric cancer were divided into two groups: bifidobacterium-supplemented enteral nutrition(BSEN-group, 30 cases), popular enteral nutrition group(EN-group,30 cases). The patients were infused with Nutrison Fibre or bifidobacterium-supplemented Nutrison Fibre for 7 postoperative days. Results: Bifidobacterium-supplemented enteral nutrient was well tolerated. The incidence of infections was significantly lower (P = 0.01) in BSEN-group than in EN-group. Conclusion: Early postoperative enteral nutrition plus bifidobacterium can reduce the rate of postoperative infections in comparison with popular enteral nutrition.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between endothelial dysfunction and cardiomyocyte apoptosis during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion.Methods:A total of 63 male rats were selected to establish the rat model of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion by the ligation of the left anterior descending(LAD)coronary artery to simulate myocardial ischemia.Rats were divided into the control group and group Ⅰb, group Ⅰa, group Ⅱb, group Ⅱa, group Ⅲb and group Ⅲa.Control rats were treated only with LAD threading without ligation.In observation group, at 30, 90, 120 min after LAD ligation(marked as Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ group respectively), loosen the ligation to simulate ischemia-reperfusion.In the observation group, captopril sublingual injection of 0.25 mg/kg before ligation were marked as group b, and as group a with no captopril injection.The circulating endothelial cells(CEC), endothelin(ET), nitric oxide(NO)and the apoptosis rate of cardiomyocytes in each group were measured.Results:The CEC and ET levels showed a continuous upward trend, and a NO level showed a continuous downward trend from group Ⅰa to Ⅱa to Ⅲa as compared with the control group( P<0.05). After using preventive intervention of captopril, the CEC and ET levels were lower and NO levels were higher in group Ⅱb and Ⅲb than in group Ⅱa and Ⅲa, respectively( P<0.05). The apoptotic rate of cardiomyocytes was higher in group Ⅰa than in the control group, and the apoptotic rate from high to low were from group Ⅲa[(235.71±40.25)%]to group Ⅱa[(197.28±43.56)%]to group Ⅰa[(138.55±32.87)%]and to the control group[(5.81±2.02)%]( P<0.05). The apoptotic rate of cardiomyocytes was lower in group Ⅱb[(125.67±26.51)%]and Ⅲb[(124.91±33.28)%]than in group Ⅱa and Ⅲa, respectively( P<0.05). Conclusions:The ischemia-reperfusion can cause endothelial dysfunction and the apoptosis of cardiomyocytes, and there is a close relationship between the degree of this lesions and the duration of ischemia-reperfusion.While, the appropriate application of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor can inhibit the damage of cardiomyocytes to a some extent.

Objective To characterize emotional memory impairment in untreated patients with Parkinson' s disease (PD) in the early stages of the disease. Methods Emotional memory tasks using standardized sets of emotional pictures including positive, neutral and negative valence were tested in 33 untreated patients with PD in the early stages and 31 healthy controls matched with age, sex, and education.Results Compared with the healthy adults (13.4 ± 1.4), PD patients had significant loss of negative valence picture memorizing ( 8. 9 ± 1.0; t = - 14. 87, P < 0. 01 ).There was no significant difference between PD patients and normal controls in positive ( 11.8 ± 1.0 vs 12. 4 ± 2. 2 , t = - 0. 95 ) and neutral (7.9 ± 1.4 vs 8.2 ± 1.3, t = - 0. 89) valence picture memorizing ( both P > 0. 05 ). ConclusionThe emotional memory for negative valence pictures is impaired but the emotional memory for positive and neutral is relatively spared in early PD patients without treatment.
