Objective To investigate the application of the Doppler echocardiography on the clinical value on the left ventricular myocardial remodel and dysfunction in neonates with hypoxia-induced pulmonary artery hypertension. Methods The Doppler echocardiography (ECHO) datas of 24 neonates of pulmonary diseases with secondary pulmonary artery hypertension were identified by color Doppler echocardiography,and compared with 14 neonates with pulmonary diseases without pulmonary artery hypertension. Results Pulmonary artery systolic pressrure (PASP) (38.23?3.26) mm Hg increased ,the diameter of right ventricular(11.92?2.18)mm vs (7.34?0.93) mm and pulmonary artery(10.20?1.21)mm vs (6.89?0.22) mm and diameter of left ventricular end-diastolic(19.74?0.71)mm vs (14.42?0.32) mm in PAH groups increased significantly ( P 0.05). There was positive correlation between the increased pulmonary artery pressure in pulmonary artery hypertension groups and the AV/EV of the mitral value orifice blood stream ( r=0.4126,P

Objective To investigate the effects of ubiquitin isopeptidase inhibitor Ⅰ on proliferation and apoptosis of human leukemic K562 cells.Methods Human leukemic K562 cells were treated with different concentration of ubiquitin isopeptidase inhibitor Ⅰ.Cell proliferation was monitored by MTT assay.Cell apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry after Annexin V/PI staining,and mRNA expression levels of bcl-2,bax and Caspase-3 were quantified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Results MTT assay showed that the proliferation of K562 cells was markedly inhibited by ubiquitin isopeptidase inhibitor Ⅰ in a time-and-dose dependent manner.The Annexin V positive rate of K562 cells after treatment with ubiquitin isopeptidase inhibitor Ⅰ was significantly increased by FCM analysis (P ＜ 0.05).The early apoptosis rate of K562 cells treated with 100 nmol/L ubiquitin isopeptidas inhibitor Ⅰ by 72 h,was obviously increased compared to control cells [(15.4±1.3) ％ vs (4.1±0.9) ％,P ＜ 0.01].The mRNA levels of Caspase-3 and bax were up-regulated and bcl-2 was down-regulated after treated with ubiquitin isopeptidase inhibitor Ⅰ,and the differences were statistically significant from control cells (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Ubiquitin isopeptidase inhibitor Ⅰ has inhibitory effect on proliferation and inductive effect on apoptosis of K562 leukemia cells,implying its possible application in treating leukemia.

OBJECTIVE To study and improve the washing methods for the metal piping medical instruments. METHODS Some contaminated metal uteroventral scraping and drawing instruments were randomly divided into group A(by the ultrasonic vibration with proteinase washing method)and group B(by the traditional manual washing method). The effects of two washing methods were studied. RESULTS The qualified rate of experimental samples in the group A was higher than that in the group B(P

Objective To study the methods and outcome of 71 patients with Parkinson's disease treated with microelectrode-guided stereotactic pallidotomy and thalamotomy. Method Pallidal and thalamal target sites are chosen by supervision of microelectrode recording technique in 71 patients with Parkinson's disease. The UPDRS motor score was used to evaluate the outcomes 12 weeks before and after operation Result After 12 months follow-up, tremor disappeared completely or nearly completely in 12 patients who underwent unilateral and l bilateral ventrolateral thalamotomy. Dramatic improvement of tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia were observed in 57 patients underwent posteroventral pallidotomy,including 6 underwent bilateral posteroventral pallidotomy. Intracerebral hemorrhage was observed in l patient. Conclusion Microelectrode-guided stereotactic pallidotomy and thalamotomy are effective in treatmenting Parkinson's disease, but with serious complications

Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the degradation of tryptophan to kynurenine. IDO1 is highly expressed in some tumor tissues. IDO1 can deplete tryptophan in tumor microenvironment, inhibit T cell function, and mediate the immune escape of tumor cells. Thus, IDO1 is considered a potential target of tumor immunotherapy. Currently, there are several IDO1 inhibitors in clinical research studies. The mechanism of IDO1-mediated tumor immune escape and the structure of IDO1 inhibitors are summarized in this review.

Objective To summarize the experience of nursing the patients with liver transplantation complicated with early portal vein thrombosis treated with post-embolectomic anticoagulation. Method The clinical data of 5 cases of liver transplantation-induced portal vein thrombosis treated with post-embolectomic anticoagulation was reviewed to summarize the curative effect , key points for disease conditions and anticoagulative nursing. Results The anticoagulative effect was not good in only one case. 4 other cases were recovered by embolectomy and postoperative anticoagulation therapy as well as related nursing measures. Conclusion The nursing measures such as close observation of the disease processing, early reasonable anticoagulation, accurate medication, prevention of patent complication are critical for preventing the recurrence of portal vein thrombosis after liver transplantation.

BACKGROUND:Estrogen promotes the storage of trace elements in the bones and thereby impacts the variation of bone mineral density through influencing the bone cel metabolism. OBJECTIVE: To study the difference of bone mineral density and serum trace elements between Uygur young and elderly females from Urumqi. METHODS:The bone mineral density was measured in the Uygur women aged 30 to 40 years and 60 to 70 years in Urumqi by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry made in MEDILINK. The serum levels of trace elements, including calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, copper, zinc, were measured by Unicel Dxc 800 Synchron biochemical test instrument produced by Beckman Kurt, USA. Serum levels of trace elements and bone mineral density were compared between two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the elderly group, the bone mineral density was significantly higher but the serum level of zinc was lower in the young group (bothP < 0.001). There were no differences in the other trace elements between the two groups (P> 0.05). These findings indicate that the bone mineral density of Uygur women at different age is significantly correlated with a part of trace elements in serum.
