Chinese Circulation Journal 2016;31(7):636-639
Objective: To explore serum levels of lipoprotein associated phospholipase A2 ( LP-PLA2) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who is smoking, to further clarify the impact of smoking on LP-PLA2 and the relationship with coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: A total of 170 patients who received coronary angiography (CAG) because of chest pain in our hospital from 2015-01 to 2015-12 were enrolled. According to CAG results and smoking history, the patients were divided into 2 groups:Control group, n=70 healthy subjects including 2 subgroups as Smoking control subgroup, n=31 and Non-smoking control subgroup, n=39; ACS group, n=100 patients including 2 subgroups as Smoking ACS and Non-smoking ACS subgroups, n=50 in each subgroup. Blood levels of LP-PLA2 and C-reactive protein (CRP) were detected and compared among different groups. Results: Serum levels of LP-PLA2 in Smoking control subgroup was higher than Non-smoking control subgroup, P=0.018; LP-PLA2 level in Smoking ACS subgroup was higher than Non-smoking ACS subgroup,P=0.027; LP-PLA2 level in ACS group was higher than Control group,P=0.000. Serum levels of LP-PLA2 was positively related to CRP (r=0.724,P<0.01). Conclusion: Blood levels of LP-PLA2 and CRP were increased in ACS patients suggesting both of them might be involved in CAD occurrence; LP-PLA2 level was even higher in smokers implying this is could be one of the reasons for smokers were more likely to suffer from CAD and aggravate CAD progress.

BACKGROUND:Osteoperiosteal decortication can treat the bone nonunion effectively, promote healing of fracture, but its action principle and key operation are not very clear, and there is less research addressing the postoperative treatment. OBJECTIVE:To review research progress of osteoperiosteal decortication for treating nonunion. METHODS: China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang database and PubMed database were used to search the related articles. The retrieval key words were “osteoperiosteal decortication, stripping, bone nonunion, bone disunion, bone delayed union”. Osteoperiosteal decortications combined with other fixation methods to repair the healing of bone nonunion were compared and analyzed. Bone implantation and implant management were summarized during repair. RESULTS AND CONCLUTION:105 literatures were retrieved by computer. After primarily screening by reading titles and abstract, irrelevant and repeated literatures were excluded. Finaly, 45 articles were summarized. Action principle, indications and operating points of osteoperiosteal decortications for bone nonunion were summarized. Osteoperiosteal decortications combined with other different fixation methods for the healing of bone nonunion were compared so as to better serve the clinic. Simultaneously, the paper also explores the combination with bone implant and management of implant during repair. Osteoperiosteal decortication with its simplicity and effectiveness has been respected in the field of orthopedics. However, for special patients, such as patients combined with destructive bone disease, osteoporosis, nonunion of hand and foot short bones, the treatment with osteoperiosteal decortications needs further researches.

Objective To investigate the effect of nesfatin-1 (NSF-1) on T-type Ca2+ channel currents in adult mouse dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons and possible signal transduction mechanisms involved.Methods We measured the expression of melanocortin 4 receptors(MC4-R)in mouse DRG by using western blotting analysis.The whole-cell patch clamp technique was used to record the effects of NSF 1 on T-type Ca2+ channel currents in small DRG neurons and several ligands were experimented to further clarify relevant signaling pathways.Results MC4-Rs were abundantly expressed in DRG neurons.NSF-1 enhanced T-type calcium channel currents in a dose-dependent manner in small DRG neurons in mice.NSF-1 mediated increment of T-type calcium channel currents was blocked by the MC4-R antagonist HS024,phosphokinase C antagonists GF109203X,and chelerythrine chloride,while the blockade of phospohokinase A PKI 6-22 elicited no such effects.Conclusions NSF-1 can enhance T type calcium channel currents in small DRG neurons through an MC4-R-dependent PKC signaling pathway.

Objective To explore the relationship between uric acid (UA) level and cognitive function in elderly patients with Parkinson,s disease (PD) and analyze the cognition related factors.Methods The clinical data of 60 elderly PD cases in our hospital from 2001 to 2009 were retrospectively analyzed. The 60 healthy people receiving medical examination in our hospital and matched by gender and age, were as control group. The information including gender, age, illness duration, Hoehn & Yahr stage (H-Y stage), serum UA level and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scale were recorded. Results The serum UA level was significantly lower in PD group than in control group [(262±53) μmol/L vs. (332±45) μmol/L, t=-6.724, P<0.001]. In PD group, the serum UA level was slightly higher in males than in females [(271 ±48) μmol/L vs.(254±39) μmol/L, t=3. 282, P=0. 058]. The serum UA level was significantly lower in male PD patients than in male controls [(353± 62) μmol/L, t=- 5. 625, P<0. 001], and was lower in female PD patients than in female controls [( 294 ± 59) μmol/L, t = - 4. 721, P = 0. 012]. There were no significant differences in serum UA level among different H-Y stage subgroups (P>0. 05), but the serum UA level was lower in different H-Y stage subgroups than in control group (F=22. 039, P<0. 01 ). There was no correlation between the UA level and the illness duration (r=0. 961, P>0.05).The MMSE score had significant difference between elderly PD group and control group (t= -3. 168,P<0. 001). In PD patients, the MMSE score was positively correlated with serum UA level (r=0. 789, P= 0. 000), and was negatively correlated with H-Y stage (r= - 0. 577, P = 0. 019 ), age (r= -0. 333, P=0. 034), but was not correlated with illness duration (r= -0. 333, P=0. 207) and BMI (t=- 0. 410, P= 0. 115). Conclusions The level of serum UA is lower in elderly patients with PD than in normal controls. There is correlation between the serum UA level and cognitive impairment. Lower serum UA level predicts worse cognitive scores.

Objective To assess the influencing factors of perioperativc delirium in the elderly with hip fracture and to define strategies for prevention and management. Methods DSM-Ⅳ was adopted to diagnosis of perioperative delirium in the elderly with hip fracture, The data of 148 elderly patients with hip fracture were analyzed retrospectively and classified according to the clinical characteristics. The differences were analyzed statistically between the delirious group and the control group. Results There were 26 (17.6%) cases diagnosed with delirium in the perioperative period, including 22 cases with postoperative delirium, and the delirious symptom lasted 3 days in average. For the type of delirium, there were 15 cases with mania type, 4 cases with inhibitory type and 7 cases with mixed type. Compared with patients in control group, patients with perioperative delirium were older [(79.67±7.7) years old vs. (75.5±7.0)years old, t=2.668, P=0.008)]. Five cases who had previous delirium occurred perioperative delirium, and five patients who received external fixator showed no perioperative delirium. Conclusions Perioperative delirium is a heterogeneous symptom on the basis of brain aging and degeneration. It affects the prognosis of the elderly patients with hip fracture and should be viewed as a separate entity, which can be prevented and treated through comprehensive management.
