0.05) between two groups.After EGDT,the level of cTnI in EGDT group was obviously dowered on the 7th day (0.16?0.22?g/L) and 14th day (0.09?0.13?g/L) compared with those in control group (0.39?0.43,0.29?0.29?g/L,P

Objective To investigate the mitral annular three dimensional configuration changes after application of two dimensional mitral annuloplasty.Methods Includes criteria:serious mitral prolapse without other cardiac disorders,with age ranged from 18 to 60 years old.Three dimensional echocardiography was performed before the surgery in the operation room.The mitral annular three dimensional configuration,the mitral prolapse and regurgitation grades were examined.And same procedure was done after the mitral repair.All the measure results were expressed as x ± s and the statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 19.0 software.Results Totally 42 cases were enrolled,including 28 posterior prolapse and 14 anterior prolapse cases.All the mitral repair got satisfied none or mild regurgitation.The mitral annulus moved consistently as saddle shape during the whole cardiac cycle,the lowest annulus part was at the commissure and the highest part was at the anterior and posterior annulus centers.During the systolic phase the non-planer angel between anterior and posterior annuls was bigger than in diastolic phase.The annulus circumference,transverse,longitudinal diameters decreased compared with before the surgery.Preoperative mitral transverse diameter and longitudinal diameter values are almost the equal size,indicating the mitral annulus was in nearly round shape.However the longitudinal/transverse ratio reached 0.88 after surgery which implied the annulus configuration recovery after annuloplasty.After the mitral annuloplasty the annular height decreased from (8.4 ± 0.6) mm to (3.2 ±0.1) mm while the annular height/transverse diameter ratio decreased from 0.24 to 0.15,which may be affected by the application of the two dimensional rigid artificial annulus.Non-planar angle between the anterior and posterior mitral annuls increased from(136 ± 13)degrees to(145 ± 14) degrees after mitral repair.Conclusion The mitral annulus configuration may have planarization changes due 1o the apply of two dimentional artificial annulus.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of treatment?resistant depression ( TRD) and of its relevance with thyroid hormones. Methods 43 patients with TRD and 48 patients with non?TRD were as?sessed with 17?item Hamilton depression scale ( HAMD?17) and Hamilton anxiety scale ( HAMA) . The serum lev?el of thyroid?stimulating hormone ( TSH) ,total triodothgronine ( TT3) ,total thyroxine ( TT4) ,free triodothgronine ( FT3) and free thyroxine ( FT4) were determined by radioimmunoassay. χ2 test and t test were used for statistic a?nalysis. The quantitative relation of FT3 level with TRD was analyzed and the value of FT3 level in TRD diagnosis was evaluated by ROC curve.Results Compared with non?TRD patients,the TRD patients showed a younger dis?ease onset age ((16.98±2.25)years vs (23.50±3.38)years) and a longer disease course ((10.14±6.47)years vs (5.48±4.15)years) for total disease course;(60.35±23.64)months vs (5.00±3.40)months for current disease course),and had shorter education years ((8.53±1.72)years vs (11.04±2.07)years) and higher HAMD total scores (19.09±1.59 vs 15.69±2.38) and behavior retarding factor scores (8.72±0.98 vs 4.98±1.63). In addition, the FT3 level of TRD patients was lower than that of non?TRD patients ((3.92±0.15)pmol/L vs (4.16±0.20) pmol/L).All the above differences between two groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). The logistic regres?sion analysis showed that the risk of suffering TRD increased by 1. 006?fold when FT3 level reduced 0. 1 pmol/L (OR=2.006,95%CI=(1.501,2.681). The area under ROC curve was 0.821 (P<0.001) with its 95% confidence interval of (0.734,0.907). Conclusion Compared with non?TRD patients,TRD patients have a longer disease course,a younger disease onset age, a lower education level, higher HAMD total scores, more severe retardation symptoms,and a lower FT3 level. The serum FT3 level has a high reference value in diagnosis of TRD.

Objective To report a pedigree with late-onset Pompe' s disease complicated with cerebral vascular diseases as to summarize their clinical,pathological and molecular genetic characteristics.Methods We investigated the clinical and pathological data of the two affected siblings with late-onset Pompe' s disease complicated with cerebral vascular diseases.All the 5 members of this pedigree accepted the GAA gene analysis.ResultsBoth affected siblings had progressive pelvic girdle muscle weakness from young adult age,and recently developed vertigo and ataxia.Brain imaging of them revealed multiple cerebral hemorrhage,infarction and diffuse ischemic white matter lesions.The brother had multiple aneurysms and stenoses of cerebral arteries revealed by brain CTA.However,his sister was only found to have multi-beaded stenoses of cerebral arteries.The muscle pathology of the brother showed typical vacuolar degeneration and glycogen storage in muscle fibers. The GAA enzyme activity of 2 siblings were dramatically lower than normal.A heterozygous 19 bp-deletion (c.1388-c.1406,exon 9) were found in GAA gene in the 2 siblings and their healthy mother. Conclusions Cerebrovascular involvement should be a special phenotype of Pompe' s disease.A novel heterozygous mutation c.1388del19 in GAA gene was found in this pedigree,but the relationship between the mutation and the rare clinical phenotype needs further study.

Objective To evaluate the effect of health education path on advanced schistosomiasis patients with splenomega-ly in perioperative period. Methods A total of 60 advanced schistosomiasis patients with splenomegaly in perioperative period were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group (30 cases each group). The patients in the observation group were intervened by the nursing and health education from admission to discharge according to the standardized process of health education path,while those in the control group were implemented with the conventional health education. Then the satis-faction of nursing work,hospital stays,hospitalization expenses and mastery of health knowledge of the patients in the two groups were investigated and the results were compared. Results The satisfaction rates of nursing work of patients in the obser-vation group and the control group were 90%and 60%,respectively,the difference between them was statistically significant (χ2=7.57,P<0.05). The average hospitals stays of the above two groups were 14.0 ± 3.5 d and 19.0 ± 6.8 d(t=2.85,P<0.01),respectively,and the average hospitalization expenses were(1.5 ± 0.5)thousand Yuan and(2.2 ± 0.7)thousand Yuan (t=24.57,P<0.01),respectively,both of the differences were statistically significant. On the 10th day after surgery,the mas-tery rates of the health knowledge of the two groups were 96.7%and 50.0%,respectively,the difference was statistically signifi-cant(χ2=16.86,P<0.001). Conclusions The implementation of the health education path can promote the rehabilitation of advanced schistosomiasis patients with splenomegaly,and increase the satisfaction as well as improve the mastery of the health knowledge of the patients. Meanwhile,it also can cut down the hospital stays and save the hospitalization expenses.

Objective To construct the RNA interference eukaryotic expression vector targeting human centromere protein-I (CENP-I) and to observe its effect on the growth of human embryo kidney 293 cells (HEK 293). Methods The expression vectors of pGenesil-1/CENP-I-siRNA-1. pGenesil-1/CENP-I-siRNA-2 and pGenesil-1/CENP-I-siRNA-3 were constructed by gene recombination and then were transfected into the HEK293 cells by liposome. The expressions of CENP-I at the protein and mRNA levels were detected by Western blotting and fluorescence quality PCR (FQ-PCR). The effective vector and the best transfection time were selected. The growth and the cell cycle of the transfected cells were assessed by MTT assay and flow cytometry. Giemsa was used to stain the transfected cells to calculate the mitotic index. Results Sequence-specific siRNAs targeting CENP-I significantly down-regulated the expression of CENP-I in HEK293 cells. The recombinant plasmid of pGenesil-1/CENP-I-siRNA-3 was the effective vector. After transfecting for 72 h the best inhibited efficiency was achieved. In CENP-I-siRNA transfected cells,the rate of cell growth was decreased markedly. Cells at G 2/M phase and the mitotic index were increased conspicuous compared with the cells transfected with the blank vector or untransfected. Conclusion Down-regulation of CENP-I in HEK293 cells by sequence specific siRNA delays the cell growth and postpones the cell division.
