Objective To observe the effects of soybean isoflavone (SI) on the action potential of guinea pig papillary muscle and the sodium current in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocyte.Methods The action potential of guinea pig papillary muscle was measured by glass suspension electrode and the sodium current in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocyte was measured by whole cell patch-clamp technique. Results The SI reduced the action potential amplitude (APA) and shortened the 50% and 90% of duration of action potential (APD50 and APD90). The SI 0.1μg/ml inhibited sodium current in cardiomyocyte at a inhibition rate of 14.39 %, and the corresponding data of SI 1.0μg/ml at a inhibition rate of 23.48%. Conclusions The SI can reduce the APD of myocardiocyte and has a negative inotropic action on myocardium. These results indicate that SI inhibition of the sodium current may be one of mechanisms of its antiarrhythmic action.

Objective:
To explore the application values of prenatal ultrasound, vascular cast in the diagnosis of fetal aortic arch and its branches anomalies and to analyze the genetic characteristics by gene detection.
Methods:
Twenty-two cases of the vascular cast specimens of the fetal aortic arch and its branches anomalies were analyzed and studied by comparing with their prenatal ultrasonography. Then the characteristics of each type of fetal aortic arch and its branches anomalies, the missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis were summarized and the results of their gene detection were also analyzed.
Results:
The 22 cases of fetal aortic arch and its branches anomalies were as follows: 2 cases of double aortic arch showed the ascending aorta was divided into two branches after converging as the descending aorta. Three cases were left aortic arch with aberrant right subclavian artery. Twelve cases were right aortic arch: 8 cases were right aortic arch with mirror-image branching, 3 cases were right aortic arch with aberrant left subclavian artery, 1 case was right aortic arch with isolated left subclavian artery. Of the 8 right aortic arch with mirror-image branching, 3 cases of left arterial duct showed the vertical walking between the fusion site of the left innominate artery and the pulmonary artery. Right aortic arch with aberrant left subclavian artery with arterial duct showed "U" shaped vascular ring. Five cases were other types, including 2 cases of the coarctation of aortic arch, 1 case of interrupted aortic arch, 1 case of pulmonary artery sling, and 1 case of abnormal origin of right pulmonary artery. The ultrasonic missed diagnosis were the 6 deformities: 3 cases of arterial duct and 3 cases of aberrant subclavian artery. The ultrasonic misdiagnosis were the 5 deformities: 2 cases of arterial duct location, 1 case of aberrant subclavian artery, 1 case of isolated left subclavian artery, and 1 case of the coarctation of aortic arch. Genetic test results: In the 18 cases of the genetic detection, 2 cases were positive, 1 case was 22q11.2 microdeletion syndrome and 1 case was carrying KMT2D gene variant.
Conclusions
There are various kinds of fetal aortic arch and its branches anomalies, which are often associated with intracardiac malformations and venous branches variation. And prenatal ultrasound is of great value in diagnosing them.Vascular cast can visually display their characteristic changes, which is helpful to improve the differential diagnosis of the different aortic arch and its branches anomalies. The detailed genetic detection can improve the further understanding of its etiology.

Objective:To analyze the effect of Croton leaf on ERK1/2 pathway in hippocampal of rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion.Methods:A total of 216 SD male rats were divided into sham operation group, model group, nimodipine group, low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups of croton leaf according to random nubmer table method, with 36 rats in each group. The MACO model of rats was prepared by the method of wire embolization. The high, medium and low dose groups were intragastrated with the water decoction 0.06 g/ml, 0.12 g/ml and 0.18 g/ml of Croton leaf; nimodipine group was intragastrated with nimodipine suspension 1.08 g/L; sham operation group and model group were intragastrated with equal volume of normal saline. Garcia JH score was used to conduct neurological function score, and HE staining was used to observe the morphology of hippocampal neurons after 7 days of continuous administration. Apoptosis of hippocampal CA3/DG region was detected by TUNEL assay. Western Blot was used to detect the expression of ERK1/2 and p-ERK1/2 proteins.Results:Compared with the model group at simultaneous point, the neurological function scores of low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups of Croton leaf increased ( P<0.01), the number of apoptotic cells decreased ( P<0.01), the expression of p-ERK1/2 / ERK1/2 [1 d: (0.22±0.03, 0.34±0.02, 0.46±0.01 vs. 0.19±0.02); 3 d: (0.38±0.02, 0.50±0.02, 0.68±0.02 vs. 0.27±0.02); 7 d: (0.29±0.03, 0.43±0.02, 0.59±0.02 vs. 0.21±0.03)] in hippocampus of the low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups of Croton leaf significantly increased ( P<0.01). Conclusion:Croton leaf could regulate the expression of ERK1/2 pathway protein upward, effectively improve the neural function and resist the apoptosis of hippocampal CA3/DG area of rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Objective:To investigate the patients with hepatocellular carcinoma suitable for transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) after radical resection who were screened based on microvascular invasion (MVI) and Ki-67 expression.Methods:Of 400 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent radical resection in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2013 to December 2019 were included and analyzed retrospectively, including 324 males and 76 females, aged (59.7±9.8) years, ranging from 32 to 87 years. According to whether they received adjuvant TACE treatment after operation, they were divided into simple operation group ( n=210) and TACE + operation group ( n=190). The recurrence in the first year after operation was followed up by outpatient reexamination. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis were used to analyze the influencing factors of recurrence free survival after surgical resection. Subgroup analysis was performed according to Ki-67 and MVI to compare the recurrence free survival. Results:Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that patients with proportion of Ki-67 positive cells ≥27.5% ( HR=2.073, 95% CI: 1.433-3.000, P<0.001) and MVI positive ( HR=2.339, 95% CI: 1.584-3.456, P<0.001) had increased risk of recurrence after radical resection. The 1-year cumulative recurrence free survival rate in the simple operation group was 70.0%, and there was no significant difference compared with 67.9% in the operation + TACE group( χ 2=0.08, P=0.774). Subgroup analysis: in the low expression of Ki-67 combined with negative MVI group ( n=128), the cumulative recurrence free survival rate of one year after operation in the simple operation group ( n=84) was 91.7%, which was significantly higher than 72.7% in the operation + TACE group ( n=44)( χ 2=8.22, P=0.004). There was no significant difference in the 1-year cumulative recurrence free survival rate between the simple operation group and the operation + TACE group (both P>0.05) in patients of Ki-67 high expression combined with MVI negative or Ki-67 low expression combined with MVI positive. In the Ki-67 high expression combined with MVI positive group ( n=107), the cumulative one-year recurrence free survival rate in the simple operation group ( n=62) was 40.3%, which was significantly lower than 60.0% in the operation + TACE group ( n=45)(χ 2=4.22, P=0.040). Conclusion:High expression of Ki-67 (≥27.5%) combined with positive MVI are the prediction factors for postoperative TACE treatment. Low expression Ki-67 (<27.5%) combined with negative MVI was contraindicated for postoperative TACE treatment.

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are compounds composed of depolymerized DNA fibers and antimicrobial peptides released by neutrophils. NETs formation not only plays a role in pathological process of non-infectious diseases such as cystic fibrosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, diabetes and cancer, but also is closely related to many central nervous system diseases. In recent years, a large number of studies have found the presence of neutrophils and NETs in perivascular space of the infarcted lesions in patients with ischemic stroke (IS) and corresponding animal models. This article provides a review on NETs formation and clearance process, characteristics of NETs changes after IS, pathological processes involved in NETs after IS, and effects of NETs on neurons, to provide some references for IS.
