Objective This study was to investigate the role of trimetazidine in the prevention of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in renal dysfunction patients undergoing coronary angiography. Methods A total of 151 patients with renal dysfunction who underwent coronary angiography were enrolled in our study and randomly divided into control group (n=77) and trimetazidine group (n=74). Standard hydration was administered in all the patients. In trimetazidine group, patients were administered trimetazidine orally for 48 hours before and 7 days after coronary angiography. Adverse events were observed in 12 months. Results (1) For 24 h and 48 h after the procedure:levels of SCr and CysC in the control group were significantly increased compared with baseline levels; levels of SCr and CysC in trimetazidine group were not increased, compared with baseline levels;levels of SCr and CysC were lower in trimetazidine group than the control group. (2)The incidence of CIN was reduced in trimetazidine group compared with control group (22.1%vs 9.5%,P=0.034). (3) Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the incidence of adverse events in trimetazidine group was lower compared with the control group (P = 0.003). Conclusions Trimetazidine in combination with standard hydration is more effective than isotonic saline alone in protecting renal function in patients with renal dysfunction who undergo coronary angiography.

Objective:To explore influence of preoperative tirofiban usage and using time on blood flow of infarct re-lated artery (IRA) in patients with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (ASTEMI ) undergoing emergency di-rect percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI ) .Methods:A total of 266 ASTEMI patients undergoing direct PCI from Jan 2009 to Oct 2012 ,were randomly divided into tirofiban group (n=134 ,received preoperative tirofiban us-age for PCI) and routine treatment group (n=132 ,didn't receive tirofiban during PCI) .According to percutaneous using time of tirofiban tirofiban group was divided into <3h group (n= 63) and ≥3h group (n= 71) ;TIMI blood flow of IRA ,before and after PCI were compared among different groups .Results:Compared with routine treat-ment group before PCI ,there were significant rise in percentages of TIMI grade 3 (10.6% vs .20.9% ) in tirofiban group ,P=0.028 ;after PCI ,percentage of TIMI grade 3 in tirofiban group was more significantly rose than that of routine treatment group (78.8% vs .92.5% ,P=0.001);in tirofiban group ,blood flow of IRA before PCI in <3h group was significantly improved compared with ≥3h group (TIMI grade 2 + 3 ,63.5% vs .29.6% , P<0.01) . Conclusion:Early tirofiban usage can improve TIMI blood flow of IRA before and after PCI in ASTEMI patients , the earlier it′s used ,the more significant effect it has .

Objective To improve the detail of the surgery for cicatricial ectropion,and the the effect was investigated. Methods Based on 46 patients withⅡ,Ⅲdegree cicatricial ectropion admitted to our department,choose the junction of normal skin and scar tissue as the incision line according to the degree of ectropion and local situation,and to reserve and recover the orbicularis oculi muscle as possible. The released areas exceeded separately the external canthus and reached the level of eye fissure,take advantage of full-thickness skin graft to correct the parallel lines and make fixation to the eyelid ectropion fusion skin graft on external canthal ligament. Results After followed up for 6 months to 2 years,46 cases of eyelid skin grafts survived completely and eyelids were in good reduction,with none case of incomplete eyelid closure. Conclusion Choose the surgical incision and the released areas in a proper way to reserve the structural integrity of orbicu-laris muscle and make skin graft fixation to inner and external canthal skin can prevent effectively the recurrence of ectropion and improve surgical progress.

Objective To study the proliferation of human skin fibroblast and synthesis of extracellular matrix which were regulated by LATS1-YAP pathway. Methods They were divided into three groups:control groups, LATS1 siRNA intervention group and YAP siRNA treatment group. Using LATS1 siRNA transferred human skin fibroblasts cell lines HS27 in LATS1 siRNA intervention group, and using YAP siRNA transferred HS27 in YAP siRNA treatment group. Expression of LATS1,YAP and collageⅠwere detected by western-blot 48 h later, and the activity of HS27 cells was determined by MTT. Results Compared with control group,expression of LATS1 protein decreased while expression of YAP protein and collagenⅠprotein increased 48 h after LATS1 siRNA transfection. Expression of LATS1 protein remains un-changed and expression of YAP protein and collagenⅠprotein decreased 48 h after YAP siRNA transfection. Conclusion LATS1-YAP pathway could regulate proliferation of human skin fibroblast and synthesis of extracellular matrix. It provides a potential therapeutic targets for skin wound repair and cicatrization.

Objective To investigate the relationship between fasting blood glucose(FBG) with coronary arterial vulnerable plaque in civil airline pilots and its risk factors.Methods One hundred and twenty civil airline pilots with coronary heart disease were divided into the vulnerable plaque group and non-vulnerable plaque group based on the virtual histology intravascular ultrasound(VH-IVUS) results.Then the clinical data were collected.Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of vulnerable plaque.Results The FBG level in the vulnerable plaque group was much higher(P＜0.05);FBG,high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and low density lipoprotein were the risk factors for vulnerable plaque;FBG was positively correlated with the plaque necrosis core constituent ratio(r=0.44,P＜0.05).The area under curve of ROC curve efficiency for diagnosing vulnerable plaque was 0.72(95％CI:0.66-0.81),at FBG cut-off value of 6.39,the sensitivity was 71.35％ and specificity was 76.15％.Conclusion The FBG level is an independent risk factor of coronary arterial vulnerable plaque,which can assist in the identification of vulnerable plaque in civil airline pilots.

Dracaena marginata is a widely cultivated horticultural plant in the world, which has high ornamental and medicinal value. In this study, the whole genome of leaves from D. marginata was sequenced by Illumina HiSeq 4000 platform. The chloroplast genome were assembled for functional annotation, sequence characteristics and phylogenetic analysis. The results showed that the chloroplast genome of D. marginata composed of four regions with a size of 154 926 bp, which was the smallest chloroplast genome reported for Dracaena species to date. A total of 132 genes were identified, including 86 coding genes, 38 tRNA genes and 8 rRNA genes. Codon bias analysis found that the codon usage bias was weak and there was a bias for using A/U base endings. 46 simple sequence repeat and 54 repeats loci were detected in the chloroplast genome, with the maximum detection rate in the large single copy region and inverted repeat region, respectively. The inverted repeats boundaries of D. marginata and Dracaena were highly conserved, whereas gene location differences occurred. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that D. serrulata and D. cinnabari form a monophyletic clade, which was the closest relationship and conformed to the morphological classification characteristics. The analysis of the chloroplast genome of D. marginata provides important data basis for species identification, genetic diversity and chloroplast genome engineering of Dracaena.
