Objective To evaluate the prognosis capacity of the Primary Angioplasty in Myocardial Infarction (PAMI) risk score for 6 months mortality in the clinical patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), in addition to asses the incremental value of EF and multivessel disease for risk stratification. Methods Six clinical variables and their relative value of score derived from PAMI risk scoring system were used to determine individual's risk score. The patients with STEMI were evaluated during the in-hospital period and followed-up for a mean of (10.34?3.24) months for mortality. The p values were calculated using a Kruskal-Wallis H test for categorical variables when appropriate; otherwise Independent-samples test was used. Logistic regression examined the discriminant accuracy of the PAMI risk score to predict death and assessed the incremental value of the EF and multivessel disease. Results A 88.8% of patients (183 patients) finished the follow up of 6 months. The overall in-hospital mortality rate was 4.4%, 30-day mortality rate was 6% and 6 months mortality rate was 9.3%. Eighty-eight patients scored 0-2 points, 54 patients scored 3-5 points, 17 patients scored 6-8 points and 24 patients scored ≥9 points. The 6 months mortality were 1.1%,3.7%, 17.6% and 41.7% respectively. Logistic regression analysis indicated that multivessel disease is a risk factor (OR 10.189) and EF is a protected factor (OR 0.849) for 6 months mortality after PCI. Multivessel disease and EF provided incremental information over that provided by the PAMI risk score. Conclusion The PAMI risk score can be applied in early stage after PCI for mortality risk assessment for patients with STEMI. EF and multivessel disease also convey important prognostic information and should be included in risk stratification after STEMI.

Objective To investigate the image quality and diagnostic accuracy using 64-slice spiral computed tomography (64-CTA) scanner in patients with suspected coronary artery disease. Methods Sixty eight patients with chest pain or post PTCA underwent CT coronary angiography (CTA) and selected coronary angiography (SCA). The SCA results were served as "gold standard" to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of CTA, while the sensitivity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) were calculated, respectively. Results 64-slice spiral CT could clearly demonstrate the coronary arterial trunk and branchs with stenosis, calcifications abnormal orifise origination and bridge vascular disease; especially with high accuracy in revealing calcification and even with quantification. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of the degree of stenosis more than 75% for coronary artery segments evaluated by CTA were significantly higher than those of the degree of stenosis less than 50% for coronary artery segments(P

Objective:To evaluate the clinical value of 64-slice spiral coronary CT angiography(CTA)in diagnosis of in-stent restenosis(ISR)after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)in patients with coronary artery disease.Methods:CTA was used to reconstruct and analyze the 345 segments(each stent was divided into three segments:proximal,middle and distal)of 115 stents in 60 patients with coronary heart disease after PCI.The results of selective coronary angiography(SCA)were taken as the golden standard to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of CTA in diagnosis of ISR after PCI.Results:CTA clearly showed the location and length of the stents,the stenosis at stent and the characteristics of restenosis plaques.Thirty-nine in-stent restenosis lesions were found by CTA,including 8 calcified lesions and 31 non-calcified lesions.There were 25 lesions at the proximal end of the stent,7 at the middle and 7 at the distal end.Forty-two lesions were found by CTA,including 9 calcified lesions and 33 non-calcified lesions,with 26 at the proximal end,8 at the middle and 8 at the distal end.CTA correctly diagnosed 36 segments,missed 6,and misdiagnosed 3.The sensitivity,specificity,PPV,NPV and accuracy of CTA were 85.71%,99.01%,92.31%,98.04% and 97.39%,respectively.CTA had the highest sensitivity and specificity for diagnosis of the proximal ISR,being 96.15% and 100%,respectively.Proximal stent restenosis accounted for 64.10% of the total.Conclusion:CTA can clearly demonstrate the in-stent restenosis and has a high accuracy in diagnosing restenosis after PCI.CTA is a safe,simple and reliable noninvasive diagnostic method for diagnosis of in-stent restenosis after PCI.

Objective To determine the proper dosage of fentanyl for open heart surgery performed under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) without aortic cross-clamping and cardioplegia.Methods Twenty-seven ASA Ⅰ -H patients (10 male, 17 female) with fairly good cardiac function (NYHA Ⅰ - Ⅱ) scheduled for surgical repair of atrioseptal defect ( ASD) or ventricular septal defect (VSD) or mitral valve replacement (MVR) were studied. Age ranged from 18 to 44 years and body weight from 35 to 58 kg. The patients were randomly divided into three fentanyl dosage groups: group Ⅰ 10?kg ; group II 30 ?g kg-1 and group Ⅲ 50 ?g kg-1. Premedication consisted of intramuscular pethidine 1-2 mg kg-1 and scopolamine 0.05-0.06 mg kg-1 . Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.2 mg kg-1 and fentanyl 5 ?g kg-1 . Tracheal intubation was facilitated with vecuronium 0.15 mg g-1 . The patients were mechanically ventilated (Vr 8-10 ml kg-1 ,F 10-12 bpm,FiO2 100% ). The rest of the total dose of fentanyl (5 ?g kg-1 in group I , 25 ?g kg-1 in group II , 45 ?g kg-1 in group III) was infused after induction of anesthesia until the initiation of CPB, supplemented with inhalation of 0.6 % isoflurane. During CPB propofol was infused at 5 mg kg-1 h-1 . after discontinuation of CPB, again 0.6% isoflurane was inhaled until the end of surgery. Vecuronium 0.05 mg kg was given every 25-30 min during operation. EGG, HR, BP, CVP, SpO2, PET CO2 and body temperature (naso-pharyngeal and rectal) were continuously monitored during operation. Arterial blood samples were obtained before anesthesia (T0), 5 min after tracheal intubation (T, ) , immediately after thoracotomy (T2) , immediately before CPB (T3), 15 min after CPB was initiated (T4) , 10 min after termination of CPB (T5) and 5 min after chest was closed (T6) for blood gas analyses and determination of blood electrolytes and acid-base balance and blood concentrations of glucose, ACTH, angiotensin Ⅱ (A- Ⅱ ) and cortisol. Time of emergence from anesthesia and extubation were recorded.Results The demographic data, including age and body weight, CPB time and duration of surgery were comparable among the three groups. There were no significant changes in SpO2 , PETCO2 , body temperature, blood gases and electrolytes during operation in the three groups. MAP decreased significantly during CPB. The blood glucose, ACTH, A- Ⅱ and cortisol concentrations increased significantly during and after CPB as compared with the preanesthetic baseline (T0 ) ( P

Objective To investigate the exposure level of radioactive hazard factors and the health management of radiation workers in non-medical radiation institutions (excluding military institutions) in Jinan, China through radioactive hazard factor monitoring, to identify the weak links, and to provide a scientific basis for future work priorities. Methods According to the monitoring plan formulated by Jinan Municipal Health Commission, the task undertaking institutions at all levels in Jinan investigated the types of radioactive hazard factors, detection, training, and health monitoring of 101 non-medical radiation institutions in Jinan. In addition, the workplace radiation levels were detected in 25 institutions of 6 types of monitoring objects, including industrial flaw detection, non-medical accelerator, non-sealed radioactive material workplace, nuclear instrument, baggage detector, and others. Results The investigation objects included institutions engaged in industrial flaw detection, nuclear instrument, luggage detector, non-medical accelerator, non-sealed source workplace, and others. Of these institutions, 91.84% were equipped with radiation protection detectors, 92.86% were equipped with personal dose alarm, 97.73% were equipped with personal protective equipment, 94.36% performed radiation protection training, 92.69% employed radiation workers with certificates, 95.77% performed personal dose detection, 94.83% performed occupational health examination, and 100.00% were qualified for radiation protection detection in workplace. Conclusion There is still a gap between the radiation protection status of non-medical institutions in Jinan and the national regulations and standards, so it is necessary to further strengthen supervision and law enforcement and make greater efforts in training and publicity.

Porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) has been recently recognized as an emerging viral pathogen that causes diarrhea in newborn piglets. A total of 254 small intestinal or fecal samples collected from 10 provinces including Henan, Hunan, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Anhui, Hebei, Heilongjiang, Jiangsu, Shandong and Shanghai between 2014 and 2015, were screened by quantitative RT-PCR targeting the viral M gene. Eleven PDCoV positive samples were identified with a total positive rate of 4.33%. An indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed based on the recombinant S1 protein of PDCoV. This assay was used to test 609 serum samples of pigs with diarrhea symptoms collected from 10 provinces between 2015 and 2016. The positive rate of PDCoV antibody was 44.17% (269/609). The two methods can be used to monitor the PDCoV epidemiology in the levels of PDCoV specific RNA or antibody, helping better prevent and control PDCoV.

OBJECTIVES: Mothers who smoke during pregnancy or while their children are small were common in some populations. Epidemiological studies have tried to detect the effect of prenatal tobacco smoke (PTS), and childhood environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) on puberty timing have not shown a consensus results. We aimed to examine current evidence and estimate the associations between PTS or/and ETS and puberty timing. METHODS: Seven databases were searched from inception to May 2017. All the cohort studies examining the associations between PTS and/or ETS and puberty timing were identified. Two reviewers independently screened all studies, evaluated the quality of eligible studies, and extracted the data. The quality assessment of the eligible cohort studies was based on the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Risk ratio (RR), standard mean difference (SMD), and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated and pooled by CMA (Version 2.0, Biostat, Inc., USA). RESULTS: Compared with controls, girls with PTS and ETS exposure have an earlier age at menarche (SMD - 0.087, 95% CI 0.174 to - 0.000), and similar results were found in both PTS subgroup (SMD - 0.097, 95% CI - 0.192 to - 0.002) and prospective cohort subgroup (SMD - 0.171, 95% CI - 0.253 to - 0.090). And number of boys with early voice break in PTS group was significantly increasing than non-exposed boys (RR 1.34, 95% CI 1.29 to 1.40). CONCLUSIONS PTS exposure possibly decrease age of menarche of girls, and studies on boys were urgent needed. Appropriate and comprehensive outcome measures using unified criteria to classify puberty should be reported in future studies.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widely found in the environment, and comparing to adults, children are more vulnerable to PAHs exposure. Urinary metabolites of PAHs are used as preferred biomarkers to estimate the PAHs exposure. Systematic review on the internal exposure level of children and adolescents is rare. We aimed to calculate the internal exposure levels of PAHs in children and adolescents and compare the levels of PAHs internal exposure in various children groups. We searched PubMed, OVID, Web of Science, EBSCO, ACS, and four Chinese databases, and all studies examining the urinary concentrations of PAHs in children and adolescent were identified. The total exposure level of 11 PAHs metabolites were pooled. Standard mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of PAHs urinary concentration were calculated and pooled by RevMan5.3 to compare the exposure levels of different children groups. We found that 1-OHPyr, 2-OHNap, 2-OHFlu, 3-OHPhe, and 4-OHPhe were five PAHs metabolites most commonly studied in existing studies in children, and their total exposure levels were 0.38 ± 0.98, 2.32 ± 4.83, 0.81 ± 1.54, 0.09 ± 0.14, 0.03 ± 0.10 μmol/mol creatinine, respectively. The meta-analysis showed that the levels of 1-OHPyr were higher in higher environmental exposure group (SMD = 0.21, 95% CI = 0.03~0.40), ETS exposure group (SMD = 0.31, 95% CI = 0.08~0.54), and 6~11 years group (SMD = 0.16, 95% CI = 0.09~0.24); the level of 2-OHNap (SMD = 0.27, 95% CI = 0.01~0.53) was higher in higher environmental exposure group; however, the levels of 3-OHPhe (SMD = - 0.34, 95% CI = - 0.57~- 0.12) and 4-OHPhe (SMD = - 0.48, 95% CI = - 0.69~- 0.28) were higher in lower environmental exposure group. The levels of 1-OHPyr (SMD = - 0.01, 95% CI = - 0.11~0.10) and 2-OHNap (SMD = 0.01, 95% CI = - 0.20~0.22) were not statistically different between boys and girls. In conclusions, we found that the internal diversity of PAHs existed in children and adolescents, and the level of 1-OHPyr in children and adolescents was in higher status compared with non-occupational people who do not smoke.
