Objective To evaluate the application of ZEEK thrombus aspiration catheter in treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in elderly patients. Methods The 52 patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI)were treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) plus thrombus aspiration by using ZEEK thrombus aspiration catheter (ZEEK group), and 42 STEMI patients were treated only with PCI (control group). The regression rate of ST segment, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), incidence of no-reflow and mortality were followed up after PCI during hospitalization. Results No-reflow occurred in 5 (11.9%) patients and 1 (1.9 %) patient in the control group and ZEEK group, respectively. And 2 deaths were encountered only in the control group. The differences between the two groups were statistically significant (P＜0.05).Conclusions AMI treatments with PCI and application of ZEEK aspiration thrombus catheter are safe and effective. The two methods could lower thrombosis burden, may improve distal myocardium perfusion and cardiac function after the procedure.

Objective To explore in vitro effects and the mechanism for FLAG regimen compared with IA regimen in P-glycoprotein-positive and -negative acute myeloblastic leukemia(AML) cell lines. Methods The expression of P-glycoprotein in K562 and K562/A02 cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. The effects of FLAG and IA on the proliferation of K562 and K562/A02 cells were detected by MTT assay. The Ara-CTP and Ara-C levels in those cells were measured by HPLC,the gene expression of hENT1 in K562 and K562/A02 cells was detected by real-time PCR. Results The positive rates of P- glycoprotein were (1.32±0.24)% in K562 cell and (97.66±3.77)% in K562/A02 cell, respectively. The expression of P- glycoprotein had no change after treated with FLAG or IA. The cytotoxicity to K562 of IA was better than FLAG [(84.41±9.33) % v.s (73.17±13.20)%, P<0.05], and the cytotoxicity to K562/A02 of FLAG was better than IA [(70.55±11.32)% v.s (48.46±12.81)%, P<0.01]. Ara-C and Ara-CTP accumulation and hENT1 expression in AML cells treated with FLAG were higher than that treated with IA. Conclusion P-glycoprotein-positive AML cells are more sensitive to FLAG regimen than IA regimen. The biochemical modulation of Ara-CTP and Ara-C may be the major mechanism.

Objective To explore the application of heteroscedastic time series model to the analysis of data of infectious diseases.Methods ARIMA and AR-GARCH models were used to fit the incidence of gonorrhea.Results The time series in this study,which was heteroscedastic significantly,finally was well fitted by AR(1)-GARCH(0,1) model through model selecting.Conclusions AR-GARCH model is suitable for analyzing heteroscedastic time-series data of infectious diseases.

Objective:To study the perioperative anticoagulant therapy for patients in prevention of moderate or high risk of pulmonary embolism(PE)after general surgery.Method:1146 patients who had undergone major general surgery were divided into a non-anticoagulant therapy group and an anticoagulant therapy group.There were 743 patients without the anticoagulant therapy during Jan.2005 to Aug.2008,a preventive anticoagulant therapy was performed on 403 patients who recived 5 000IU(142 patients at moderate risk of PE)or 10 000IU(261 patients at high risk of PE)low molecular weight heparin(LWMH)subcutaneous injection after major general surgery during Jan.2006 to Nov.2008.Result: Five cases died and 2 survived among 7 PE patients.Hemorrhage occurred in 3 out of 403 cases(0.7%),but no PE occurred among 403 patients administered with the LWMH anticoagulant therapy.The incidence of PE in the patients reciving LWMH decreased from 0.9%to 0(P

In this research, mononuclear cells from cord blood were modified with 3mg/ml, 6mg/ml and 12mg/ml methoxy polyethylene glycol (mPEG) respectively. The cell surface antigens and the ability of CFU GM proliferation of mPEG modified cord blood lymphocytes were analyzed. Flow cytometric analysis demonstrated that mPEG modified lymphocytes attenuated CD3, CD4 and CD8 antibodies binding to antigens on lymphocyte surface ( P

Objective To determine the serum 25 hydroxy vitamin D3[25(OH)D3]levels in chil-dren with bronchial asthma and its relationship with lung function,fraction of exhaled nitric oxide( FeNO). Methods Totally 112 children with asthma aged 6 years to 14 years old were selected as the study group, meanwhile 78 healthy children aged 6 years to 14 years old were selected as the control group,serum 25 ( OH)D3 was determined using the electrochemical luminescence method. Lung function was measured, which included peak expiratory flow( PEF),forced expiratory volume in one second( FEV1 ),percentage of PEF in predicted value( PEF% pred),percentage of FEV1 in predicted value( FEV1% pred). FeNO of the study group was measured. The relationship between serum 25( OH)D3 and PEF% pred,FEV1% pred,FeNO were all analyzed. Results The proportion of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency in the study group were higher than those in the control group(χ2 =7. 78,P﹤0. 01). The values of PEF% pred and FEV1% pred were decreased with the decreasing of the 25(OH)D3 levels(F=28. 12,29. 56,P﹤0. 05),FeNO values were in-creased with the decreasing of the 25(OH)D3 levels(F=15. 65,P﹤0. 05). Conclusion Vitamin D defi-ciency or insufficiency is related to asthma in children. It is associated with the decrease of lung function,and can increase the level of airway inflammation in children with asthma.

Objective To determine the efficacy of glucose-loweringtreatment by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS).Methods Bilateral frontal lobes of 45 male patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) underwent 1 H-MRS separately bythe time it was first diagnosed.Among them,30 were treated with insulin,15 were rejected.The bilateral frontal lobes of all patients were re-examined with 1 H-MRS after 6 months.The ratios of metabolites in the frontal lobe were recorded and compared,and observing whether the lactate(Lac) peak appeared or not.Results Significantly higher values of the N-acetylaspartate (NAA)/creatine (Cr)ratio and NAA/choline (Cho) ratio after 6 months (2.414 2± 0.206 6 and 2.244 2±0.341 5) were found in bilateral frontal lobes compared with pre-therapy (1.905 3±0.135 7 and 1.906 0±0.322 1)(P＜0.05).Significantly lower values of the NAA/Cr ratio and NAA/Cho ratio in the refuse treatment group(1.504 2 ± 0.262 4 and 1.510 0± 0.220 8) were found in bilateral frontal lobes compared with pre therapy (1.960 0±0.175 0 and 1.880 8±0.297 0)(P＜0.05).Lac peak was not detected in the all experiments.Conclusion 1 H-MRS provides valuable information in the assessment and evaluation of clinical efficacy and prognosis of T2DM by detecting the changes of brain metabolism.

Objective To evaluate the activation of premotor area (PMA) in verb generation task, and to discuss the possible function of PMA in language expression. Methods Block-designed fMRI with verb generation task was performed on 23 subjects with GE 1.5T MR Scanner. During the test, the subjects were asked to generate a verb based on a given noun word. The white + appeared on the center of the black screen was used as control. The fMRI data were processed with SPM 2. Group analysis was performed with single sample t-test. Average mapping was obtained and overlapped onto standard MNI template. Activation of the PMA was analyzed. Results The fMRI data of eleven subjects were selected for group analysis after head motion effect was ruled out. Average mapping showed activation in the Broca's area, posterior part of the right inferior frontal gyrus, bilateral PMA and supplemental areas (SMA), left posterior parietal cortex, right thalamus, left basal ganglions, right cerebellum, and posterior part of the right temporal lobe. The area with the greatest activated intensity in the brain was the left PMA. Conclusion PMC is important in verb generation and may be responsible for voice processing, motor imagery, word extracting as well as advanced regulation of information.
