Objective To evaluate the clinical and coronary angiographic features of non-Q wave and Q wave myocardial infarction in the elderly. Methods The clinical history(including hypertension and diabetes), complication and in-hospital mortality, blood lipid, serum CK-Mb, LVEF, and the record of the coronary stenosis by angiography 3-4 weeks after infarction were investigated in non-Q wave and Q wave myocardial infarction patients. Results The clinical history and blood lipid did not differ significantly between the NQMI and QMI patients. NQMI patients had a significantly lower maximal peak 〔(68.7?18.6) mmol/L vs (108.6?17.3)mmol/L, P0.05), but occlusion rate of infarct-related vessels in NQMI patients were lower. Conclusions Prognosis of NQMI patients is better than that of QMI patients in acute-phase, and the occlusion rate of infarct-related vessels in NQMI patients were lower.

microRNAs (miRNAs) are an extensive class of -22-nucleotide (nt) endogenous noncoding RNAs regulating life activities ofmetazoans through binding to 3'-untranslated regions (3'-UTRs) of their target genes. This work aimed to identify yan gene in the silkworm, reveal its expression profile and confirm if it is one target of bmo-miR-7 and, as such, have potential for contributing to better understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in the metamorphosis of silkworm. Based on homolog searching and PCR amplification, we cloned the coding sequence (CDS) of Bmyan, which encodes 476 amino acid residues and contains SAM-PNT and ETs domains. Quantitative PCR (q-PCR), RT-PCR and microarray data revealed high expression of Bmyan in the head, body wall and ovary of day-3 fifth instar larval silkworm, low or no expression in other tissues. It was lowly expressed in the early larval stages, but highly expressed from late spinning to day 4 pupa. The 3'-UTR of Bmyan was obtained by rapid-amplification of cDNA ends (3'RACE) and predicted to contain two potential recognition sites of bmo-miR-7. The luciferase reporter vector containing the 3'-UTR of Bmyan was constructed and co-transfected into BmE cell line with the mimic of bmo-miR-7 and the decreased relative activity of luciferase showed that Bmyan is one target of bmo-miR-7. This work helps further functional analysis of bmo-miR-7 and Bmyan in the silkworm.

OBJECTIVETo establish a sensitive and specific technique for detecting HBV DNA in serum using HBV DNA probe labeled directly by alkaline phosphatase (AlkPhos Direc probe).

METHODSThe probe that purified HBV DNA sequence was labeled directly by alkaline phosphatase and chemiluminescent substrate CDP-star for AP was used in the hybridization assay. HBV DNA was detected by autoradiography on the film. The test compared the chemiluminescen dot blot hybridization assay for 80 samples with digoxigenin-labeled HBV DNA probe detective method. The correlation of 70 samples test results between fluorescent quantitative HBV DNA PCR method and dot blot hybridization assay by AlkPhos Direc probe was analysed.

RESULTSThe sensitivity of the probe labeled directly by alkaline phosphatase was 10pg at least. The coincidence was 100% compared with digoxigenin-labeled HBV DNA probe detection. A correlation coefficient of HBV DNA quantitative results between fluorescent quantitative HBV DNA PCR (QPCR) method and dot blot hybridization assay by AlkPhos Direc probe was 0.98 (P<0.01).

CONCLUSIONSThe method detecting HBV DNA in serum by HBV DNA AlkPhos Direc probe is sensitive and specific. The results between two methods with AlkPhos Direc and digoxigenin-labeled HBV DNA probe are coincident completely. The correlation of HBV DNA quantitative results between fluorescent QPCR method and dot blot hybridization assay by AlkPhos Direc probe is satisfactory.

Objective:To explore the clinical effect and nursing experience of papaverine intramuscular injection after finger replantation with self-designed hip intramuscular injection positioning device.Methods:Totally 216 cases of patients treated with palavering for anti-vasospasm after of severed fingers from January 2018 to December 2019 were randomly divided into control group (108 cases) and observation group (108 cases) by random number table method. The control group received intramuscular injection of buttock muscle according to the conventional method, and the observation group used the auxiliary intramuscular injection with self-designed glutei muscle positioning device. The incidence of postoperative hip indurations and ecchymosed, survival rate of and buttock were analyzed Pain scores were compared.Results:Totally 76 cases (70.37%) and 62 cases (48.15%) in the control group, 12 cases (11.11%) and 6 cases (5.56%) in the observation group. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2 values were 78.545, 67.307, P<0.01). 78 cases (72.22%) survived in the control group and 96 cases (88.89%) survived in the observation group ( χ2 value was 11.416, P<0.01). After papaverine intramuscular injection, there was no significant difference in hip pain score between the two groups on the first and second day ( P>0.05), but there was significant difference between the two groups on the third to seventh day ( t values were 17.17 to 45.97, P<0.05). Conclusion:Palavering intramuscular injection can reduce the incidence of hip indurations and ecchymosed, relieve buttock pain and improve the survival rate of amputated finger, which is worthy of clinical application.

The experiment was designed to investigate the function of SREBP cleavage-activating protein (SCAP) mutant (D443N) by constructing an eukaryotic expressive vector using a smooth muscle specific promoter SM22 (pGL3-SM22-SCAP(D443N)). SM22 promoter (pSM22) was amplified from genome DNA of mice by nested PCR, and then cloned into pMD-T vector. The SM22 promoter fragment released from the vector by Kpn I and Hind III digestion was sub-cloned into pGL3-control-Luc vector, to form pGL3-SM22-Luc. The activity of pSM22 in human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) was tested using Dual-Luciferase Reporter System. SCAP(D443) mutant amplified from plasmid pTK-HSV-SCAP(D443N) and pSM22 from mice liver were cloned into pGL3-control vector to construct pGL3-SM22-SCAP(D443N) which was transfected into Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO) to test SCAP(D443) expression by real-time PCR and Western blot. The sequence and construction of pGL3-SM22-SCAP(D443N) were correct. SM22 promoter activity initiated the expression of luciferase in VSMCs and also drove SCAP(D443) expression in transfected CHO cells. The pGL3-SM22-SCAP(D443N) eukaryotic expression vector was successfully constructed and the recombinant vector provides a powerful approach in investigating the function and regulation of SCAP and also in producing vascular smooth muscle specific SCAP transgenic mice.

Objective: To compare the value of two 3D imaging reconstruction methods for left atria and pulmonary vein on guiding the catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods: From January 2014 to January 2017, a total of 100 drug refractory paroxysmal AF patients were divided into left atria direct angiography group (n=50), and indirect angiography group (n=50). 3D CARTO system was applied for mapping and guiding the ablation procedure. Patients assigned to direct angiography group were treated as follows: intraoperative puncture of atrial septum, inject contrast agent directly into the left atrium, conduct left atrial and pulmonary venous rotation angiography, reconstruct three-dimensional image, integrate the image into real-time X-ray system to facilitate circumferential pulmonary vein isolation. Patients assigned into the indirect angiography group were treated as follows: inject contrast agent through the right ventricle, conduct delayed rotation angiography of the left atria and pulmonary vein to guide circumferential pulmonary vein fixation and ablation. The left atrial and pulmonary venous image acquisition, the operation and X-ray exposure time, the success rate and the incidence of complication of the two groups were compared. The patients were followed up for 3-6 months. Results: General clinical characteristics of the two groups were similar(all P>0.05). Ablation was successful in all 100 patients. The operation time[(112.0±21.4)min vs. (134.0±24.3)min]and X-ray exposure time((10.7±4.7)min vs. (15.8±5.2)min)were significantly lower in direct angiography group than in indirect angiography group (both P<0.01). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the immediate (86%(43/50) vs. 82%(41/50), P=0.59) and short-term (76%(38/50) vs. 72%(36/50), P=0.65) success rate and complication rate (1 aneurysm in the direct angiography group, 1 pericardial tamponade in the indirect angiography group). In-hospital mortality was zero percent. Conclusion It is safe and effective method to guide the radiofrequency catheter ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation by reconstruction 3D image of left atrium and pulmonary vein. Compared with indirect angiography group, direct angiography group can improve the imaging quality of left atrium and pulmonary vein, decrease the X-ray exposure time of the ablation procedure.

Objective To investigate the effect of sarcopenia on balance function in patients with Parkinson's disease(PD).Methods Sixty patients with PD diagnosed by our hospital from January 2021 to June 2021 were selected as the study objects.All patients were divided into myopenia group and control group according to the diagnostic criteria established by the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia(AWGS)in 2014.The UPDRS Ⅲ,Berg balance scale,timed-up-go test and activity balance confidence scale were compared between the two groups.Results The grip strength,walking speed and RASM of the myopenia group were lower than those of the control group(P<0.05);Compared with the control group,the number of falls,UPDRS Ⅲ,Berg score and TUG duration in the myopenia group were significantly increased(P<0.05).The total score of ABC,ABC-2,ABC-3,ABC-5,ABC-6,ABC-7,ABC-8,ABC-9,ABC-11,ABC-14,ABC-15,ABC-16 in myopenia group were poor,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Further analyzing the differences between sex genders,we found that female sarcopenia had lower scores on ABC-2,ABC-3,ABC-8,ABC-9,ABC-11,ABC-13,ABC-14,ABC-15,ABC-16,and total score indexes,with statistically significant differences.Conclusion Myopenia significantly affects the balance function of PD and increases the risk of falls.

Objective To investigate epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)gene T790M mutation in plasmatic ctDNA samples from 171 patients with non-small cell lung cancer and analyze the relationship between EGFR T790M mutation and the clinical factors. Methods The EGFR T790M mutation was detected in 171 cases by super amplification refractory mutation system(Super ARMS)in this paper. Rusults The EGFR gene T790M mutation was identified in 7.60%(13/171)plasmatic ctDNA samples which mostly came from patients withⅢb~Ⅳstages of lung cancer. The EGFR T790M mutation rate was identified in 2.05%(3/146)plasmatic samples of pa-tients who did not received treatment of EGFR-TKIs,which was lower than 40.00%(10/25,P<0.05)plasmatic samples of patients who received treatment of first generational EGFR-TKIs. The EGFR T790M mutation rate was identified in 75.00%(3/4) and 60.00%(6/10) plasmatic samples of patients who have received TKI for 6 to 10 months and more than 10 months,which was higher than 9.10%(1/11,P < 0.05)plasmatic samples of patients who have received TKIs for less than 6 months. Conclusions This article demonstrated that EGFRT790M muta-tion was more common in lately NSCLC patients who have received TKIs treatmentover 6 months,meanwhile the EGFR T790M mutation dynamical detective technology will effectively guide the clinic treatment.
