Objective: To investigate the differences of biochemical markers between the patients with pulmonary hypertension related to left heart disease (PH-LHD) and LHD; to explore the sensitive bio markers which may predict PH in LHD patients. Methods: A total of 355 LHD patients admitted to our hospital from 2014-01 to 2015-05 were enrolled. According to 2009 ESC/ERS guidelines, PH was deifned by pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP)>50 mmHg and patients were divided into 2 groups: LHD group,n=224 and PH-LHD group,n=131. The basic information with blood levels of biomarkers was recorded and their accuracy for predicting PH was analyzed. Results: The pathogenesis of LHD included 184 (51.83%) patients of coronary heart disease, 90 (25.35%) of dilated cardiomyopathy and 81 (22.81%) of cardiac valve heart disease. Compared with LHD group, PH-LHD group had increased ratio of NYHA III and IV degree (89.31% vs 45.54%), decreased LVEF [42.0 (33.0, 59.0) % vs 60.0 (42.0, 65.0) %], all P<0.001; PH-LHD group presented elevated blood levels of BNP, bilirubin, red cell distribution width (RDW), uric acid and cystatin C, while reduced lipoprotein (HDL), allP<0.001. PASP was positively related to biomarkers as BNP, bilirubin, RDW, uric acid and cystatin C, while negatively related to HDL. With the combination of BNP, direct bilirubin and RDW, the predictive value for PH-LHD under ROC curve was 0.828 with the sensitivity at 0.813, speciifcity at 0.708. Conclusion: Blood levels of biochemical markers were statistically different between the patients of PH-LHD and LHD; the combination of BNP, direct bilirubin and RDW showed the higher accuracy for predicting PH occurrence in LHD patients.

AlM:To determine the changes of regional macular retinal thickness ( RT ) with spectral domain optical coherence tomography ( SD-OCT ) after successful pars plana vitrectomy ( PPV ) surgery with inner limiting membrane ( lLM ) peeling in patients with idiopathic macular hole.
METHODS:A non-randomized retrospective case study on 17 patients ( 17 eyes ) who were hospitalized between March 1, 2011 and June 30, 2013. All 17 eyes had been diagnosed with idiopathic macular hole and thereafter underwent 25G-PPV surgeries performed by the same surgeon with lLM peeling and short - term gas tamponade. ln the 6mo-plus follow-up after surgery, these eyes were found to have successful closure in the macular hole. The macular RT of the nine areas in the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study was measured by SD-OCT. All patients were applied by SD-OCT with linear scan of the macular. At least four examinations on the operated eye were conducted in contrast to the other normal eye: before the surgery, 3~5wk after the surgery (stage A), 2~3mo after the surgery (stage B), and >6mo after the surgery (stage C).
RESULTS:ln stage A, the macular RT of operated eyes in the areas of C, lS, ll, lN, OS, Ol, ON (263. 00±39. 48, 313. 92±18. 35, 311. 00±18. 02, 335. 67±19. 91, 280. 83±33. 74, 269. 92 ± 23. 32, 307. 00 ± 28. 40 ) were significantly thicker than the corresponding areas of the normal fellow eyes (220. 51 ± 23. 94, 292. 08 ± 21. 93, 282. 50 ± 20. 30, 288. 33 ± 20. 76, 251. 25±17. 60, 247. 75±21. 48, 265. 17±24. 76ü m) (P<0. 01) with the exception of the lT (291. 58±18. 97, 280. 33± 20.82üm) and OT (250.83±21.21, 242.08±24.02üm) (P>0. 01). ln Stage B, the macular RT in the areas of ll, lN, OS (335.67±19.20,319.75±19.20, 273.50±16.89üm) were significantly thicker than the corresponding areas of the normal fellow eyes (286. 33±20. 46, 293. 42±17. 64, 252. 50± 16.32üm) (P<0. 01). However, the macular RT of the operated eyes in the areas of C, lS, lT, Ol and OT had no statistically significant difference compared with the corresponding areas of the normal fellow eyes (P> 0. 01). ln Stage C, the macular RT of operated eyes with the areas of lN (321. 17 ± 19. 71ü m) were significantly thicker than the corresponding areas of the normal fellow eyes (296.25±19.57üm) (P<0.01). Meanwhile the other areas of the operated eyes were not significantly different from the normal fellow eyes (P>0. 01). Moreover, the macular RT of operated eyes in the areas of ON, lT (307. 00±28. 40, 291. 58 ± 18. 97ü m ) in stage A significantly decreased compared to that of the corresponding areas in stage C (276. 08±32. 39, 278. 75±10. 19ü m) (P<0. 01).
CONCLUSlON: SD-OCT is a convenient tool for the observation of macular regional changes after macular hole surgery. Macular RT had persistent changes after vitrectomy on eyes with macular hole by SD-OCT. lLM peeling may have caused microstructural changes in wide areas of the macular region after PPV surgery. More support and evidence were provided to the further study of the long - term observation for the structural and function of macular after macular hole surgery.

Objective To evaluate and analyze the clinical application value of detection of Warfarin-related gene polymorphisms,cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) and Vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (VKORC1) polymorphisms.Methods From July of 2011 to July of 2012,the blood samples were randomly collected from 140 lung cancer patients from Department of Oncology in Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University.These lung cancer patients were diagnosed through imaging examination and pathological examination.CYP2C9 and VKORC1 polymorphisms were detected in 70 patients (studied group) but not detected in the other 70 patients (control group) before they used warfarin.According to known gene sequences of CYP2C9 and VKORC1,specific primers were designed to genotype the CYP2C9 *2 and CYP2C9 * 3 alleles as well as the VKORC1-1639G ＞ A polymorphism through PCR amplification and DNA sequencing.Meanwhile,the distribution of these alleles in the studied group was analyzed.The clinical significance of detection of these polymorphisms was evaluated by comparing the proportion of patients within the therapeutic INR (International Normalized Ratio) range between control and genotype-guided dosing groups using Chi square test after 2 and 4 weeks of Warfarin therapy.Results Based on the results of agarose gel electrophoresis of PCR products and DNA sequencing,the primers for CYP2C9 and VKORC1 polymorphisms were indeed specific to these SNPs (CYP2C9 * 1,CYP2C9 * 2 and CYP2C9 * 3 ;VKORC1-1639GG,VKORC1-1639AG and VKORC1-1639AA) and both of the specificity and sensitivity of these primers are 100％,thus contributiug for genotyping these alleles.The distribution of CYP2C9 * 1/* 1 was 100％,CYP2C9 * 1/* 2,CYP2C * 1/* 3,CYP2C9 * 2/* 2,CYP2C9 * 3/* 3 and CYP2C9 * 2/* 3 were 0％.The distribution of VKORC1-1639AG,VKORC1-1639AA and VKORC1-1639 GG were 10％,90％ and 0％ respectively.2 weeks after the treatment of Warfarin,85.7％ patients in the genotype-guided dosing group reached the stable therapeutic INR range,which was significantly higher than that in the control group (48.6％,x2 =21.9,P ＜ 0.01); 4 weeks later,all patients (100％) were inside the stable therapeutic INR range whereas only 65 patients (92.9％) in the control group reached the therapeutic INR range.No haemorrhage or thromboembolic events occurred in both groups.Conclusions CYP2C9 and VKORC1 polymorphisms can be accurately detected by PCR reaction with the designed primers and the subsequent DNA sequencing in patients with lung cancer.This method is validated to be reliable.The genotyping of the Warfarin-related genes detective method can effectively guide Warfarin-dosing.

BACKGROUND:Nerve growth factor has been shown to play an important role in bone healing, but little is reported on the effect of growth factor composite scaffolds via the immediate implantation in the repair of canine bone defects. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the effect of nerve growth factor composite scaffolds via the immediate implantation for the repair of canine bone defects. METHODS:Nerve growth factor composited strontium apatite scaffolds were prepared. Canine mandibular defect models were established and divided into three groups, fol owed by implanted with composite scaffold (experimental group), strontium apatite (positive control group), or nothing (blank control group). The three-dimensional CT reconstruction and hematoxylin-eosin staining of canine mandibular bone defects were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the blank control group, there were few new bones surrounding bone defect. Trabecular bones spread from the defect center to the surrounding tissues in the experimental and positive control groups. The bone density, volume, thickness, and implant-bone contact were significantly increased, while the trabecular separation was significantly decreased in the experimental group compared with the positive control and blank control groups (P<0.05), and al above indicators in the positive contro group were significantly higher than those in the blank control group (P<0.05). Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that in the experimental group, there were a large number of new bones that contacted with the surrounding bones closely, and trabecular bones arranged regularly. In the positive control group, newborn osteoid, trabeculare, and a smal amount of debris were found. In the blank control group, few new bones were connected with the surrounding bones untightly and trabecular bone arranged irregularly. These results indicate that the nerve growth factor composite scaffold can promote the bone regeneration in the canine bone defects after immediate implantation.

Objective To explore the relationship between blood glucose level and blood pressure variability in hypertensive patients. Methods A total of 125 hypertensive patients hospitalized in the department of cardiology in our hospital during May 2015 to October 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into hypertension with diabetes mellitus group (n=59) and hypertension without diabetes mellitus groups (n=66). Data of blood pressure, blood pressure variability and blood glucose levels were analyzed in the two groups. Results (1) Hyperlipidemia, low density lipoprotein and cholesterol levels were significantly lower in the hypertension with diabetes mellitus group than those of hypertension without diabetes mellitus group. Level of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), 24 h diastolic pressure variability coefficient (24 hDBPCV), daytime systolic blood pressure variability coefficient (dSBPCV), and daytime diastolic pressure variability coefficient (dDBPCV) were significantly higher in the hypertension with diabetes mellitus group than those of hypertension without diabetes mellitus group (P<0.05). (2) Spearman correlation analysis showed that hypertension with diabetes mellitus was positively correlated with 24 hDBPCV, dSBPCV and dDBPCV. (3) ROC curves of HbA1c for diagnosis of non-dipper blood pressure in hypertensive patients showed that the cut-off value of HbA1c was 5.85%and the area under curve was 0.692 (P<0.05). The sensitivity was 71.1% and the specificity was 63.7%. Conclusion The present results demonstrate that blood pressure variability is increased in hypertension patients with higher blood glucose. HbA 1c level has potential clinical value for diagnosis of non-dipper blood pressure in hypertensive patients.
