Percutaneous myocardial revascularization (PMR)，building on the succeeds of transmyocardial laser revascularization (TMR)，has developed that allows TMR-like channels to be cradated via a percutaneous approach.This catheter based approach avoids the morbidity associated with general anesthesia and thoractomy or thoracoscopy.It also avoids transmural treatment of the myocardium by the laser.Although its mechanism remains unclear,many patients with intractable angina and non-bypassable coronary artery disease have benefited from the new system.It is hoped that PMR will mimic the clinical benefit of TMR，and will gradually become a main method in treating end-staged coronary artery disease.

Chemotherapy and endocrine therapy are two kinds of important treatment modalities of breast cancer with hormone receptor-positive. Adjuvant chemotherapy whether can be proposed to the individual patient or not according to tumor burden factors, multi-gene prognostic signatures detection and molecular subtype classification for breast cancer. There are four different endocrine strategies, and each of them has its own advantage over others and cannot be replaced by others. Individualized therapy should be performed to Luminal A and Luminal B breast cancers.

Epidermal stem cells (ESCs) play a critical role in homeostasis and wound repair of skin tissue. Since ESCs are rare (fewer than 10% in total basal cells population) and lack specific markers,it is difficult to isolate and identify them from keratinocytes. Currently ,isolation of ESCs was achieved mainly by fast adhesion of ESCs to extracelluar matrix or flow cytometry. Several specific markers have been found in recent years for the identification of ESCs.

Objective: To observe the histological changes of lamina extema cranii at both the graft and donor areas after having been grafted in animal experiment. Methods; 4 mini pigs aged from 8 to 12 months were selected. Part of the outer table of skull (2.5 cm × 1.0 cm) was decorticated and was divided equally. Both were implanted on each side of the snouts of animals. 2 pigs were selected randomly and were killed 12 weeks postoperation. Each 1, 0 cm ×0. 5 cm specimen was harvested and histological study was performed. The other 2 animals were killed 24 weeks after operation. Gross inspection of the donor site was performed and histological study was done. Results; In the graft area; bone absorption was obvious 12 weeks postoperation, but bone matrix increased obviously at 24 weeks postoperation. Results of scanning electron microscope showed that interface between bone graft and recipient site was discernment and collagen type I was malaligned 12 weeks postoperation. Collagen fibers were in good order and good mineralization was found 24 weeks postoperation. In the donor area; small amounts of new bone formation could be seen and alignment of cemental line was chaotic 12 weeks postoperation. At 24 weeks, bone formation was obvious and alignment of haversian canal was regular. Scanning electron microscopy showed that structure of the tissue was uneven and disorder at 12 weeks postoperation. Collagen fibers were in good order and good mineralization was found 24 weeks postoperation. On gross view, raw surface of the donor site got complete healing, os-teanagenesis was incomplete and introcession could be observed in the local area. Conclusion; Histological remodeling of lamina exter-na cranii is complete at 24 weeks after having been grafted. The donor site can regenerate but morphologic introcession could be observed.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between long non-coding RNAs (LncRNA) in tumor tissues and clinico-pathological features of hepatocllular carcinoma (HCC).Methods Using hepatocellular carcinoma gene database GSE36376,we conducted a study on eight LncRNAs which are associated with liver diseases and analyzed the correlation between these LncRNAs and HCC clinico-pathological characteristics.We also evaluated the potential effect of LncRNAs on HCC development.Results H19 was overexpressed in non-tumorous tissues of HCC (P ＜ 0.05),while MEG3,HOXA13,KCNQ1OT1 were all upregulated in tumorous tissues (all P ＜ 0.05).HULC level in HCC tumorous tissues was negatively correlated with AJCC staging,BCLC staging and tumor size (all P ＜ 0.05).UCA1 was positively correlated with BCLC staging (r =0.135,P ＜ 0.05).Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic analyses showed that UCA1 was a risk factor of intrahepatic metastasis of HCC (OR =6.054,95％ CI =1.429 ～ 25.642,P ＜ 0.05); in contrast,HULC overexpression in tumorous tissues played a positive role in HCC tumor size (OR=0.805,95％CI=0.678 ～0.956,P＜0.05).Conclusion HULC in tumorous tissues suppressed HCC proliferation,while UCA1 was a risk factor of HCC aggressiveness.

Objective To observe the protective effect of Xiaohuangdecotion against liver damage inα-naphthylisothiocyanate (ANIT)- induced cholestasis in rats and probe the potential mechanisms.Methods Male Wistar rats (40) were randomly divided into a normal group, a model group, aXiaohuangdecotion treatment group, and a UDCA control group (10 for each). Except for rats in the normal group, ANIT solution (6 ml/kg) was administered in other rats by gavages for cholestasis model. After ANIT treated 48 h, rats inXiaohuangdecotion group and UDCA group were treated withXiaohuangdecotion (1.73 g/kg) and UDCA (10 mg/kg) respectively for 1 week. And, rats in the normal group and the model group were given an equal volume of saline. At the end of the experiment, liver function rats were examined. Liver histology was examined by HE staining, and CD68 factor was tested by immunohistochemistry and Western blot.Results Compared with the model group, the content of ALT (164.6 ± 53.4 U/Lvs. 208.4 ± 28.5 U/L), AST (247.6 ± 76.1 U/Lvs. 341.8 ± 32.8 U/L), ALP (601.0 ± 101.1 U/Lvs. 720.6 ± 123.3 U/L), TBiL (96.5 ± 18.1μmol/Lvs. 149.6 ± 30.2μmol/L), DBiL (73.7 ± 16.6μmol/Lvs. 140.3 ± 28.6μmol/L) and TBA (93.4 ± 13.0μmol/Lvs. 146.5 ± 38.9μmol/L) were significantly reduced in the treatment group (P<0.01 orP<0.05). Compared with the model group, CD68 level (7.08 ± 0.19 vs. 17.42 ± 0.48)were significantly reduced by intervention ofXiaohuangdecotion (P<0.01).ConclusionsXiaohuangdecotion could improve liver functions and reduce CD68 expression, leading to a good hepatoprotective and jaundice-relieving effects.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and influence factors of peginterferon combined with ribavirin for the treatment of elderly patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC).Methods 34 CHC patients aged over 60 years were enrolled in this retrospective study.Virological responses,relapse rate and discontinuation rate were evaluated,and the predictive factors associated with these outcomes were analyzed.Results The proportions of rapid virological response (RVR),early virological response (EVR),end of treatment virological response(ETR),sustained virologic response (SVR) were 26.5％,41.2％,52.9％ and 35.3％,respectively in patients after peginterferon plus ribavirin theraphy,and the relapse rate was 33.3％.The relapse rate was higher in patients with the interferon treatment history than in patients with initial interferon treatment (P＜0.05).The rates of ETR and SVR were lower in CHC patients with diabetes than without diabetes (P＜0.05 or 0.01).The ratio of dose adjustment of peginterferon and ribavirin alone and in combination were 26.5％ (9/ 34),61.8％ (21/34) and 8.8％ (3/34),respectively.The discontinuation rate was 20.6％ (7/34).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that SVR rate was lower in CHC patients with diabetes than in those without diabetes (P＜ 0.05).Conclusions Peginterferon plus ribavirin therapy has a better virological response,but a poor tolerance in CHC patients.Diabetes may be an important risk factor for sustained virologic response in CHC patients.

Objective To explore the effect of enalapril combined with folate acid on endothelial function and urine microalbumin(UMA) in patients with hypertension.Methods 120 patients with hypertension were randomly divided into two groups:control group (n =60) was given enalapril 10.0mg/d,observation group (n =60) received enalapril 10.0mg + folic acid 0.4mg/d.The total treatment period was 8 weeks.Blood pressure,plasma homocysteine (Hcy),flow mediated dilation (FMD) and UMA were examined.Results The efficacy of pressure releasinghad no significant difference between two groups.Hcy[(10.2 ± 5.8) μmol/L vs (16.6 ±-8.1) μmol/L,t =3.641],FMD[(14.8 ±5.4)％ vs (8.2±3.5)％,t =7.325] and UMA[(14.8 ±5.4)mg/L vs (31.6 ±9.5)mg/L,t =8.221] of two groups were significantly different after treatment.Conclusion Combination therapy of enalapril and folate acid can decrease plasma Hey and UMA,restore vascular endothelium function in patients with hypertension.

Objective To compare the sensitivity of HE,immunohistochemistry (IHC) and RT-PCR in detection of breast cancer metastases in axillary lymph nodes.Methods Twenty female patients with newly diagnosed and clinically node-negative breast cancers underwent modified radical mastectomy, including a complete axillary lymph node dissection. The ages of the patients ranged from 31 years to 65 years, and the diagnosis of breast cancer was approved by pathological finding. Two hundred and thirty-nine axillary lymph nodes were found in these 20 patients. Metastases in axillary lymph nodes were explored by HE, cytokeratin 19 IHC and RT-PCR for cytokeratin 19 respectively. Results Seven(2.9%) lymph nodes were found to have metastatic cancers by HE in 3 patients,all nodes were found in level Ⅰ. Metastatic cancers were found in 13 (5.4%) nodes by IHC in 7 patients,11 nodes in level Ⅰ and 2 nodes in level Ⅱ; and 52(21.8%) nodes were found to contain tumor cells by RT-PCR in 14 patients,30 nodes in level Ⅰ and 22 nodes in level Ⅱ. All of 7 histologically(HE) positive nodes were found to contain tumor cells by IHC and RT-PCR. Among 232 histologically(HE) negative nodes,6(2.6%) nodes were found to contain tumor cells by IHC,and 45(19.4%) nodes were found to contain tumor cells by RT-PCR, all 6 IHC positive nodes showed the expected 460-base pair products on gel electrophoresis ( P
