Objective To eveluate the effect of tirofiban on TIMI flow in patients with STEMI during primary PCI. Methods Forty-eight patients with STEMI who underwent primary PCI were randomly divided into two groups which were: the tirofiban+PCI group (n=27) and the primary PCI group (n=21). The TIMI flow before and after the operation were reviewed angiographically. Results A greater percentage of TIMI 1 flow was archieved in the triofiban+PCI group compared with the primary PCI group before operation (37% vs 9.5%, P

Objective:To generate rabbit polyclonal antibody against human Argonaute2 (Ago2) protein and to identify its functional characterization for determination of differential expression and cellular localization of Ago2 protein in various cell lines.Methods:DNAstar software was applied for searching the high antigenicity region of Ago2 gene sequence termed k-Ago2.Prokaryotic expressing plasmid was constructed and transformed to E.coli BL21 (DE3) to induce expression by IPTG.The fusion protein was injected into rabbits subcutaneously to produce polyclonal antibodies after purification by gel regaining.ELISA was operated to detect antibody titer.Western blot was used to identify the specificity and sensitivity of the antibodies and detect the differential expression of Ago2 protein in various cell lines.Meanwhile,immunofluorescence experiments were arranged to show cellular localization of Ago2 protein.Results:The prokaryotic expressing plasmid was constructed correctly.K-Ago2 protein was expressed and purified,and then rabbit polyclonal antibodies against Ago2 were generated after immunization with k-Ago2 protein.The titer detected by ELISA was 1∶19 000.Western blot results demonstrated the high specificity of the antibodies.Finally,we successfully observed the differential expression and cellular localization of Ago2 protein in various cell lines.Conclusion:The polyclonal antibody against Ago2 protein has been achieved successfully.It will be propitious for the intensive study of the RNAi mechanism and even profound clinical application.

Objective:To investigate the door-to-balloon (D2B) time and its influencing factors for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Methods:180 cases of patients with STEMI in our hospital from January 2014 to April 2016 were selected.PCI therapy were operated on all patients after their consent.The pre-hospital delay time and D2B time of the patients were recorded.The related information of the patients,including demographic data,clinical factors,background of the disease and psychological factors,were investigated by the questionnaire survey.The patients were divided into short D2B group (D2B time≤ 126 min,n=96) and long D2B group (D2B time＞126 min,n=84).Univariate and multivariate logistic regression methods were used to analyze the influencing factors of D2B time.Results:The median D2B time of all the patients was 126 min,and only 26.7％ of patients' D2B time controlled within 90 min.Univariate analysis showed that differences of sudden attack,pay attention to symptoms,someone was present when attack,symptoms progress was fast,in hospital during holiday,no symptom in CCU,outpatient treatment,transfered by emergency medical service system (EMSS),time in CCU (6 am-10 pm),angina before infarction and pre-hospital delay time between the two groups were statistically significant (P＜0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that in hospital during holiday,outpatient service,no symptom in CCU,pay attention to symptoms,use of transfered by EMSS,time in CCU (6am-10pm) are the factors affecting the time of D2B (OR=2.62,2.04,1.59,0.52,0.28,0.61 P＜0.05).Conclusion:The D2B time of most patients with STEMI can not reach the guidelines.The factors of patients,doctors,accepting mechanism of hospital are all related with D2B time.

Objective To explore the changes of the hippocampal formation and the myelinated nerve fibers in the hippocampal formation of aged female Long-Evans rat. Methods The hippocampal formation and the myelinated nerve fibers in the hippocampal formation of 5 young (6-month old), 5 middle-aged (18-month old) and 6 aged (28-month old) female Long-Evans rats were quantitatively investigated with the stereological techniques and transmission electronic microscope technique. Results There were no significant changes in the volume of hippocampal formation, the volume density, the total volume, the length density and the mean diameter of the myelinated nerve fibers in the hippocampal formation among young, middle-aged and aged rats. When compared to that of young rats, the total length of the myelinated nerve fibers in the hippocampal formation of middle-aged rats was significantly increased by 63.6%. When compared to that of middle-aged rats, the total length of the myelinated nerve fibers in the hippocampal formation of aged rats was significantly decreased by 47.5%. When compared to that of young rats, the total length of the myelinated nerve fibers in the hippocampal formation of aged rats was non-significantly decreased by 13.8%. Conclusion Although the reason why the total length of the myelinated nerve fibers in the hippocampal formation of middle-aged rats was longer than that of young rats needs further investigations, the present results together with our previous findings in white matter and cortex further suggest that there are age-related changes of the myelinated nerve fibers in the normal aged brains.

Objective:To determine the value of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET) scans in identify-ing the residual retroperitoneal tumor after chemotherapy of testis germ cell tumors. Methods:Sixteen testis germ cell tumor patients with metastasis of retroperitoneal lymph nodes who were treated in our hospital from February 2014 to December 2016 were select-ed for the study from February 2014 to December 2016. After 4-6 cycles of chemotherapy, their CT scans showed residual masses with diameters greater than 2 cm. The retroperitoneal lymph nodes were dissected after the 18F-FDG PET exam. The post-surgery pathology results were compared with the results of the 18F-FDG PET exam. Results:Residual tumors were found in 5 of 10 patients with 18F-FDG PET positive. Residual tumor was absent in 4 of 6 patients with 18F-FDG PET negative, while residual mature teratoma tumors were found in two patients. The accuracy rate, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of the 18F-FDG PET exam were 56.25%(9/16), 71.42%(5/7), 44.44%(4/9), 50.00%(5/10), and 66.67%(4/6), respectively. Conclusion: 18F-FDG PET is highly sensitive. However, many factors influence the result of 18F-FDG PET. Mature teratoma leads to a false negative re-sult, whereas massive tissue inflammation leads to a false positive result. Therefore, more clinical examinations should be made.

Objective To investigate the development of ultrastructure in grafts from a xenograft model of human hemangioma on nude mice.Methods Human infantile hemangioma tissue was obtained in surgery and planted into subcutaneous layer of nude mice in small pieces.The grafts were harvested on the 2~(nd),5~(th),15~(th),30~(th),45~(th) day and then at 2~(nd),3~(rd),4~(th),6~(th) month for transmission electron microscopic view.Results In early stage after transplantation,signs of degeneration and necrosis were more evident.On the 30~(th) day,the number of endothelial cells increased and some of the endothelial cells were larger in size with high nuclear to plasm ratio.At the 2~(nd) month,the number of endothelial cells increased,while some of these cells turned flat.Later,high endothelial cells decreased in number and collapse and pyknosis of plasm,formation of secondary lysosome,margination of chromatin,fragmentation of nucleus were evident with surrounding deposition of adipose and collagen.Conclusions With xenotransplantation of human infantile hemangioma tissue onto nude mice,the grafts may survive ischemia and proliferate,and then gradually involute.The development resembles a natural course of human infantile hemangioma.

By using enrichment media NPC and CVP, 792 strains of Pseudomonas and 515 strains of Erwinia were isolated from the rhizosphere of Digitaria adscendens (H. B. K.) Hem and Setaria vindis (L.) Beanv. Following which, experiments of antimetabolic test with E. coli, seed emergence controlling of S. viridis, herbicidal activity and security with green grass were carried out to select the desired bacteria. As the result, the selected strain, S7, could wholly control the seed emergence of S. viridis without any harm to the two tested green grass. And more, S7 promoted the seed emergence of Festuca arundinacea slightly. In spite of the comparatively low corrected mortality (56. 7%) of S7 after emergence of S. viridis, Selecting of microbial herbicides from weed DRB is thought to be more prospective.

Objective To study the psychological and psychosomatic status of children with pectus exca vatum and the significance of orthotherapy. Method Eighty-seven patients and 87 healthy children were interviewed with the Achenba ch Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL),the symptom Checklist (SCL-90)and the psycho logical and psychosomatic status checklist contrived. Results The children with pectus excavatum showed higher frequency in interpersonal sens itivity, depression,anxiety,obsession compulsion and also more mental difficul ties than those of control group.The differences between the patients and health y children were significant statistically.Conclusions The psychological and psychosomatic status of children with pectus excavatum are worse than those of healthy children,so it is reasonable to perform an operati on earlier for improvement of physiological, psychological ,social aspects in ch ildren with pectus excavatum.

This research is to study the relationship between HPLC fingerprints of Moutan Cortex, Paeoniae Radix Rubra and Paeoniae Radix Alba and their activity on lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury. HPLC fingerprints of each extract of Moutan Cortex,Paeoniae Radix Rubra and Paeoniae Radix Alba were established by an optimized HPLC-MS method. The activities of all samples against protein and tumor necrosis a factor were tested by the model of lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury. The possible relationship between HPLC-MS fingerprints and the activitieswere deduced by the Partial least squares regression analysis method. Samples were analyzed by HPLC-MS/MS to identify the major peaks. The results showed that each sample had some effect on acute lung injury. Four components with a lager contribution rate of efficacy were calculated by the research of spectrum-effect relationship. Moutan Cortex exhibited good activity on acute lung injury, and gallic acid, paeoniflorin, galloylpaeoniflorin and paeonol were the main effective components.
