Objective To investigate the genetic association between the inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS) 2A gene and stroke with a history of coronary artery disease ( CAD). Methods 708 patients with stroke and 235 healthy controls were recruited in this study, and the stroke group was delaminated into 2 subgroups according to the history of CAD. SNP rs28944190, an A to C base change located in intron 22 of the gene, was used as a genetic marker. PCR-based restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis was applied to genotype rs28944190 (Hac Ⅲ site). Results The x2 test showed no association between patients with stroke and healthy controls. Of 708 patients, 94 had a history of CAD and the frequency of allele C of rs28944190 was significantly higher in patients with a history of CAD than those without (23.9% vs 16.6%, x2 =5.629, df= 1, P =0.018, OR = 1.580, 95% CI 1.083—2.306), especially in male patients (x2 = 8. 592, df= 1, P = 0. 003, OR = 1. 983, 95% CI 1. 255—3. 134). The frequency of genotype AA + AC of rs28944190 was significantly higher in patients with a history of CAD than those without such a history (47.9% vs 30. 8%, x2 = 10. 761, df= 1, P = 0. 001, OR = 2. 065, 95% CI 1.34—3.19), especially in male patients (x2 = 15. 762, df= 1, P =0. 000, OR =2. 985, 95% CI 1.74—5. 12). Conclusion The present study suggests that the NOS2A gene is unlikely to contribute to the etiology of stroke.

Objective To understand the cue-induced craving, physiological reactions to heroin-related cues, and to explore the factors that impact the cue-induced craving. Methods 369 abstinent heroin addicts were exposed to videotapes of heroin using and simulacrum after the self relaxation. The craving, abstinent symp-toms were measured before and after cue exposures. The physiological reactions were measured by multi-biofeed-back instrument before, during, and after cue exposure. BIS-Ⅱ questionnaire was used to collect information about their impulsive characteristic. Results After cue exposure, the self-reports scores of craving (t=11.24, P< 0.01), physiological index including heart rate((76.6±11.3) beats/min, F=19.23), skin conduct ((7.48± 4.25)μs, F=53.99), pupil size (t=11.73) had significant change in heroin addicts (P<0.01). Logistic regres-sion results showed that the scores of BIS-Ⅱ were related to cue-reduced craving (P=0.001,95% CI: 1.015~1. 065). Conclusions Exposure to drug-related cues can induces craving and physiological reactions in long term abstinence heroin addicts. High impulsive characteristic is a risk factor to induce drug-related craving. The inter-vention strategies should consider the impulsive characteristic and make a comprehensive intervention program to prevent relapse.

Objective To observe the effects of soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitors tAUCB on cholesterol efflux in adipocytes. Methods 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were induced to differentiation and maturation. Cells were stimilated with 100μg/L LPS after starved for 24 hours, then tAUCB in various concentrations(1 ,10,50,100 μmol/L)were added for 24 h, or incubated with the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPARy) antagonist GW9662 (5 μmol/L).0μmol/L tAUCB treated group was taken as empty control. After then, the mRNA expression of PPARγ and adenosine triphosphate binding cassette transporter Al (ABCA1) in cells were determined via realtime-PCR, the amounts of protein expression of PPARγand ABCA1 in cells were detected by Western blot, the efflux rates of 3H-cholesterol in cells were detected by means of liquid scintillation counter. Results tAUCB could dose-dependently increase the apolipoprotein A1 (apoA1)-mediated cholesterol efflux in adipocytes. After stimulated by 1, 10,50,100 μmol/L tAUCB, cholesterol efflux rates were (5.93±0.66) %, (7.40 ± 0. 43) %, (8. 30 ±0. 34)% ,(9.77±0.42)% respectively, there were significant difference after treated by 10-100 μmol/L tAUCB compared with control(5.67±0.17)%(P<0.05). With the concentration of tAUCB increased,ABCA1, PPAR mRNA and protein expression were also dose-dependently up-regulated. GW9662 could significantly inhibit the effects of tAUCB, and then reduce the cholesterol efflux and the expression of PPARγ and ABCA1 in adipocytes. Conclusions tAUCB could up-regulate PPARγ expression in adipocytes, and promote the cholesterol efflux of adipocytes via apoA1-ABCA1 pathway, which might decrease the cellular cholesterol accumulation in adipocytes.

Objective To monitor epidemiological distribution and antibiotic resistance of bacteria isolated from cerebral spinal fluid in neurosurgically treated patients. Methods Bacteria isolated from cerebral spinal fluid specimens and antibiotic resistance identification results of patients admitted into our department from January 2003 to December 2007 were collected to analyze distribution and antibiotic resistance of the pathogens. Results Of 437 isolates, Gram-positive bacilli and Gram-negative bacilli accounted for 73.5% (321 isolates) and 26.5% ( 116 isolates), respectively. The first five most fre-quently isolated pathogens were staphylococcus epidermidis (55.6%), staphylococcus aurens (15. 3% ), enterobacter (6.6%), aeinetobacter (5.3%) and pseudomonas aeruginosa (3.0%). The anti-bacterials with highest susceptibility to Gram-negative bacilli were imipenem ( 83.9% ), amikacin ( 68. 8% ), ciprofloxacin and tobramycin (67.4%), cefepime (61.3%) and ceftazidime (69.2%). The other antibacterials had susceptibility of less than 60%. Conclusions The prevailing pathogens in post-operative intracranial infection are Gram-pnsitive bacilli, especially staphylococcus epidermidis and staphylococcus anreu. Data collected in present study may provide valuable information for prophylactic and empirical antibiotic use in post-operative intracranial infection.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of open tension-free hernioplasty and two kind of laparoscopic hernia repair for the treatment of primary unilateral inguinal hernia. Methods Patients suffering from primary unilateral inguinal hernia were randomly divided into 3 groups to undergoopen operation with mesh-plug and patch or transabdominal preperitoneal hernioplasty (TAPP) or totally extraperitoneal hernioplasty (ZEP). Results From February 2006 to February 2009, a total of 164patients were divided into 3 groups, with 62 undergoing open tension-free mesh-plug hernia repair, 50receiving TAPP and 52 receiving TEP. Postoperative patients were then followed up for a period of(16±8)months. The average operating time for the patients in the open mesh repair group was significantly shorter compared to the other two groups (P<0.01 ). The cost in the open mesh repair group was also significantly lower than the other two groups (P<0.01). The pain scores in open mesh group were significantly higher than those in the other two groups (P<0.01). The hospital stay and the recovery time were both significantly longer in the open mesh repair group (P<0.01) compared to the other two groups. No major complications and recurrence was found in neither groups. Conclusions Open tension-free mesh-plug hernia repair, TAPP and TEP are all safe and effective for the treatment for patients with primary unilateral inguinal hernia. TAPP and TEP are superior to open tension-free mesh-plug hernia repair as these two procedures involve less postoperative pain and fast recovery.

Objective To evaluate the myocardial protection effects of trimetazidine during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods 101 patients from 5 hospitals with stable or unstable angina pectoris were enrolled in this study. All the patients were randomized into two groups: a trimetazidine group (n = 54) and a control group ( n = 47). The trimetazidine group received oral trimetazidine 20 mg three times a day for (5±2 ) days before coronary angiography and a loading dose of 60 mg 30 minutes before PCI. The daily routine dosage was continued for 4 weeks after the procedure. The control group received similar treatment except trimetazidine. For each patient, the angina pectoris attacks, CK-MB,electrocardiogram and echocardiogram were noted. Results Angina did not occur in trimetazidine group during the procedure but occurred in 12 patients( 25.5% ) in the control group( P <0.001 ). The changes of ST-segment and T wave during balloon dilatation in PCI procedure were less in the trimetazidine group (60.8% vs 78.3% , P < 0.05). Ejection fraction in the trimetazidine group was higher than that in the control group 4 weeks [ ( 66.6±7.1 ) % vs ( 63.0±7.7 ) % , P = 0.03 ] after PCI. Conclusion Trimetazidine could reduce the frequency of angina pectoris attacks and myocardial damage during PCL It also improves left ventricular function during follow-up after PCL
