Objective: To investigate the effect of administrative HDL-C (high density lipoprotein cholesterol) level on adverse cardiovascular events after discharge in elder patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
Methods: A total of 325 STEMI patients treated in our hospital from 2010-04 to 2012-07 were retrospectively studied. According to administrative HDL-C level, the patients were divided into 2 groups as High HDL-C group, n=139 and Low HDL-C group, n=186. The basic and clinical conditions, in-hospital treatment, death and the medication, adverse cardiovascular events during 6 and 12 months follow-up period were compared between 2 groups.
Results: The patients with in-hospital reperfusion therapy was higher in Low HDL-C group, and Low HDL-C group had the higher ratio of emergent PCI treatment, all P<0.05. During follow-up period, High HDL-C group had less patients with β-receptor blocker treatment, less non- fatal MI, adverse cardiovascular events and re-hospitalization, all P<0.05. Cox regression analysis showed that low HDL-C level (HR=0.558, P=0.024) and diabetes mellitus (HR=1.528, P=0.040) were the risk factors of adverse cardiovascular events, while emergent PCI (HR=0.47, P=0.001) was the protective factor in STEMI patients after discharge.
Conclusion: The lower administrative HDL-C level in elder patients with STEMI had the higher risk of adverse cardiovascular events after discharge.

Objective To investingate the expression method of bcl-2 and it's significance in osteogenic tumor and tumor-like diseases.Method The protein of PCNA, p53, Fas and bcl-2 were examined immunohistologically in osteosarcoma, ossifying fibroma, fibeous dysplasia of bone and normal bone callus. The results were analysed combing with the information of metastasis and hisomorphology.Results PCNA and p53 were highly expressed in low-differentiated osteosarcoma, bcl-2 were highly expressed at high-differentiated osteocoma and ossifying fibroma. When PCNA, p53 and bcl-2 were all expressed at high level, the metastasis rate was high, when only bcl-2 was expressed at high level, the progmosis was better. Conclusion The mechanism for benign and malignant tumor are different, the benign and low-degree malignant tumor may be caused by over accumulated mutation cells sipported by high level of bcl-2, while malignant tumor may be the result of multi-gene cooperation abnormally.

BACKGROUND:Previous studies demonstrated that ischemia can be compensated by establishing collateral circulation and microangiogenesis,and exercise training can ameliorate blood supply of ischemic lower limb.However,whether exercise training accelerate establishment of collateral circulation remains poorly understood.OBJECTIVE:To explore the mechanism of exercise training on accelerating microangiogenesis of rat ischemic lower limb.METHODS:Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the exercise training,model and sham-surgery groups.All animals were established left lower limb ischemia models except those in the sham-surgery group.Rats in the exercise training group were forced running 30 minutes per day at 1 week after model preparation and those in other groups were performed daily activities.The adductor of ischemic lower limb was obtained for the examination of microvessel density and the expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor.Simultaneously,bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells were harvested for detection of microangiogenesis.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Number of endothelial progenitor calls,expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor,as well as microvessel density of the exercise training group was obviously greater than those in the model and sham-surgery groups(P<0.01).Compared with the model and sham-surgery groups,in vitro vasculogenesisof bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells in the exercise training group was increased(P<0.05).These findings demonstrated that lower limb ischemia increases microangiogenesis,and exercise training enhances this effect.

Objective To explore the early diagnostic significance of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide(CCP) antibody and hidden rheumatoid factor immunoglobulin M(HRF-IgM) detected by ELISA in patients with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis(JRA). Methods The synthesized CCP was used as the antigen to detect anti-CCP antibody. Anti-CCP antibody and HRF-IgM were detected dynamically in 27 patients with early diagnosed JRA and their specificity and sensitivity were determined for early diagnosed JRA by calculating the positive predicting value (PPV) and negative predicting value (NPV). Results The total positive rate of anti-CCP antibody and HRF-IgM were 58.5 % and 65.0 % respectively in patients with JRA. The sensitivity of HRF-IgM was more predominant than that of anti-CCP antibody. There was a positive correlation between the positive rate of antibodies and the subtype of JRA. The specificity of anti-CCP antibody for predicting early JRA was superior to that of HRF-IgM. When using these two tests in combination, the PPV predicting rate of early JRA was 93.7 % . Conclusions Both anti-CCP antibody and HRF-IgM are elevated in patients with JRA, which show positive correlations with the subtype of the disease. The specificity of anti-CCP antibody testing is considerably higher for diagnosing early JRA, and when it was used together with HRF-IgM testing, the PPV for JRA can be raised further.

BACKGROUND: Human lower limb system under different motion statuses exhibits great difference in terms of kinetic characteristics and joint deformation magnitude. Total hip replacement has been shown to be the best method to solve the severe illness of hip joints today. A good understanding of the responses of human lower limb system, in particular the knee joint, following total hip replacement is significant for rehabilitation training of patients.OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effects of total hip replacement on knee joint deformation during motions by comparing the data collected from a patient who underwent total hip replacement 19 months ago and a healthy control subject under the same testing environment and method.METHODS: The patient was measured through the use of Optotrak Certus motion capture system (Northern Digital Inc.,California), and simultaneously measurements were performed in a healthy control subject presenting with similar body weight and body mass. Measurement indices included step length, step frequency, joint corner, and joint displacement curves. Speed and acceleration of each joint were calculated based on measured data.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Following total hip replacement, the structure of natural hip joint was destroyed. Although the gait did not change greatly, experimental data showed that knee joint deformed more greatly than normal gait, indicating the self-accommodation of human body, i.e., increasing the loading and deformation magnitude of knee joints can avoid the injuries caused by hip joint surgery.

Objective To investigate clinical characteristics and emergency managements of postrenal acute renal failure(ARV)induced by melamine in infant.Method Fluid therapy for urine alkalization and hydration,cistoscope drainage and peritoneal dialysis step by step were exerted in those who had both a history of certain milk intake and ARF according to the definition of pediatric ARF which developed by Pediatric Nephrology Assembly of Chinese Pediatric Association in 1994.Results Thirty-four postrenal ARF cases with anuria due to melamine in Nanjing Children's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were involved in the study.Seventy cases(50%)re-ceived fluid therapy only.Nine cases(26.5%)received fluid thempy and eistoscope drainagemand 4 cases (11.8%)received fluid therapy and cistoscope drainage and peritoneal dialysis.Four cases(11.8%)received ur-gent peritoneal dialysis due to severe hyperkalemia.All cases(100%)survived.The urine pH at the first day.the second day,and after the second day in those who just pass away urine were 6.1±1.0、6.5±0.7.5.3±0.4,respectively(F=4.563,P=0.026).Conclusions Fluid therapy for urine alkalization and hydration and stop sequential thempy are effective in infant with postrenal ARF induced by melamine.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) in critical hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD).Methods The data from PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, EBSChost, Cochrane Library, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Ovid, China Biology Medicine disc, Wanfang Data, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Citation Database, and other references and grey literatures were retrieved, screening out all those related to clinical trials on treating critical HFMD by IVIG.Standard methods of the Cochrane Collaboration were employed to evaluate the methodological quality of the trials.Meta analysis was performed with Rev man 5.3 software.Results Eleven trials including 967 cases were investigated.The meta analysis showed that IVIG had significantly clinical efficacy (OR =6.84,95％ CI:3.74-12.52 ,P ＜ 0.05).IVIG could significantly decrease duration of fever (MD =-1.94,95％ CI:-3.07--0.81 ,P ＜0.05) ,hospitalization time (MD =-4.56,95％ CI:-8.95--0.17,P ＜0.05).There was no significant difference in duration of fever (MD =-0.28,95 ％ CI:-0.59-0.03, P ＞ 0.05), duration of herpes (MD =0.18,95％ CI:-0.22-0.59, P ＞ 0.05), hospitalization time (MD =-0.12,95％ CI:-0.47-0.23, P ＞ 0.05) when the dosage of injection was adjusted.Conclusions IVIG is recommended for treating critical HFMD because it is effective in decreasing the duration of fever and hospitalization.Well designed studies with more sample in multi-center are required in further study to explore the efficacy and safety of IVIG on critical HFMD.

Objective To explore the relationship between 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3(1,25-VD3)and alveolar fluid clearance(AFC)in mice in vivo,and investigate its effects in the process of lung fluid clearance. Methods KM male mice were treated with active vitamin D analogue parical-citol(daily i.p. injection)for 2 weeks,and then the in vivo AFC of these mice was measured by bovine serum albumin protein assays. western blot was applied to determine epithelial sodium channel protein levels in lungs of these mice. Results In vivo total AFC was 31.9%±3.8%in vitamin D-treated mice,and significantly lower in the vehicle-treated controls(19.7%±1.9%,P<0.05). Amiloride-sensitive AFC was increased approximate-ly 50%by vitamin D. western blot showed that the expression ofα-epithelial sodium channel was significantly elevated in paricalcitol-treated mouse lungs. Conclusion These observations suggest that vitamin D augments AFC in mice,which may be related to the augment of epithelial sodium channel protein expression. The clinical application of vitamin D therapy may ameliorate pulmonary edema of patients.
