Objective:To explore feature of clinic and coronary angiography (CAG)of acute myocardial infarction (AMI)for young adults less than 30 years old.Methods:A total of 41 AMI patients,who were under 30 years old and hospitalzed in our hospital from 2004 to 2012,were enrolled as young group.Another 360 AMI patients >50 years were randomly selected as middle-aged group during the same time.Clinical features and CAG results were compared between two groups.Results:Compared with middle-aged group,there were significant rise in percenta-ges of male (68.1% vs.97.6%),smokers (50.6% vs.80.5%)and hypercholesterolemia (59.2% vs.65.9%)and body mass index [(22.3±6.6)kg/m2 vs.(26.3±9.6)kg/m2 ],and significant reduction in percentages of hyper-tension (63.1% vs.24.4%)and diabetes mellitus (30.6% vs.4.9%)in young group,P<0.05 or <0.01;for ex-citing cause,percentages of psychological factors such as tension and anxiety (29.3% vs.3.6%),staying up late (39.0% vs.2.8%)and heavy drinking (14.6% vs.4.7%)in young group were significantly higher than those of middle-aged group,while percentages of agitation (8.3% vs.0)in middle-aged group was significantly higher than that of young group (P<0.05 or <0.01).For CAG results,young group was mainly single vessel coronary disease (56.1%),which were mainly type A (53.7%)and type B1 (29.3%)lesions,while middle-aged group was mainly multi-vessel coronary disease (48.1%),which were mainly type B2 (29.7%)and type C (33.9%)lesions,and there were significant difference between two groups (P<0.05 or <0.01).Conclusion:Smoking,obesity and hy-perlipidemia are the most important risk factors for acute myocardial infarction;the major exciting causes are sta-ying up late,alcohol drinking and high mental stress etc.in young AMI patients;their coronary lesions are mainly single vessel coronary disease,and of type A and type B1 .

In order to construct generally efficient cell immortalization vector, pTP-hTERT, we modified the traditional piggyBac (PB) transposon using artificial synthesis, PCR and enzyme digestion. The modified vector contained the necessary transposon elements, a PB transposase expression cassette, a co-expression selectable element and a human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) expression cassette. The co-expression selectable element had two markers, enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) gene and puromycin-resistance (Puro) gene, linked by porcine teschovirus-1 2A peptide (P2A). To validate the functionality of vector elements, we transfected pTP-hTERT into HEK293 cell, selected the positive cell clones and then conducted RT-PCR, Western blotting (WB) and Tail-PCR, methylene blue staining and statistic analysis on selected cells. The results of sequencing and cell culture show that the pTP-hTERT was constructed successfully and the positive cell could be selected by puromycin. The WB results, P2A cutting EGFP and Puro fusion protein with high efficiency, reflected the selectable element worked. The sequencing result of Tail-PCR confirmed the vector integrated into the genome through transposition. The results of methylene blue staining and statistic analysis indicated the clone of positive cells triggered by pTP-hTERT significantly increased (P < 0.01) compared with control group. The construction of pTP-hTERT provides an efficient tool for establishing immortalized cell lines and a demonstration for building other eukaryotic plasmids.

Objective To study the effect of red cell and plasma protein parameters on progression, prognosis and recurrence of cerebral infarction. Methods Clinical data from 105 patients with cerebral infarction were analyzed. The pa?tients were divided into four paired groups:progressive stroke group and complete stroke group, short-term favorable progno?sis group and short-term unfavorable prognosis group, long-term favorable prognosis group and long-term unfavorable prog?nosis group, relapsed cerebral infarction group and not relapsed group by different criterion. The red cell and plasma protein parameters were compared between groups. Results There were significantly higher mean corpuscular volume(fL:85.92± 4.50 vs 83.79±4.64,t=2.164,P<0.05), red cell distribution width(fL:13.50±2.45 vs 11.90±2.90,t=2.694,P<0.01), globu?lin(g/L:27.46±4.33 vs 24.79±4.03,t=3.029,P<0.01)and lower albumin(g/L:39.00±3.86 vs 42.89±4.45,t=4.242,P<0.01)in progressive stroke group than those of complete stroke group. The elevated red cell distribution width, reduced albu?min were the risk factors of progressive stroke. In the short-term unfavorable prognosis group, red cell distribution width was significantly higher than that in short-term favorable prognosis group(fL:13.90 ± 2.45 vs 12.00 ± 2.12,t=2.905,P<0.01). The red cell distribution width was positively correlated with mRS scores assessed 3 months and 18 months after cerebral in?farction(P<0.01). Conclusion Progressive stroke rate increases in cerebral infarction patients with elevated red cell distri?bution and reduced albumin;Red cell distribution width has a certain reference value for forecasting the prognosis of cere?bral infarction .

OBJECTIVE:To systematically review the effects of long-term oral low-dose of azithromycin on pulmonary func-tion and clinical signs of patients with stable COPD. METHODS:Retrieved from PubMed,Medline,CJFD,VIP and Wanfang da-tabase,randomized controlled trials(RCTs)about long-term oral low-doses of azithromycin for stable COPD were collected. After quality evaluation according to modified Jadad scale,Meta-analysis was conducted by Rev Man 5.2 statistical software. RESULTS:A total of 13 RCTs were included,involving 1207 patients. Meta-analysis showed that,long-term oral low-doses of azithromycin could significantly improve FEV1[SMD=0.78,95%CI(0.62,0.93),P<0.001],FEV1%[SMD=0.81,95%CI(0.61,1.00),P<0.001],FEV1/FVC [SMD=3.91,95%CI(2.58,5.24),P<0.001] and 6MWD[SMD=23.74,95%CI(21.20,26.18),P<0.001] in sta-ble COPD patients,meanwhile significantly reduce dyspnea score [SMD=-1.15,95%CI(-1.60,-0.71),P<0.001],quality of life score [SMD=-1.82,95%CI(-2.74,-0.90),P<0.001] and 24 h sputum volume[SMD=-18.68,95%CI(-24.79,-12.56), P<0.001],with statistical significance. CONCLUSIONS:Long-term oral low-doses of azithromycin can improve pulmonary func-tion,dyspnea,activity tolerance and quality of life in acute exacerbation of COPD patients.

Objective To probe the application of superimposed flaps in hand surgery. Methods Form March 1998 to December 2003, we repaired 35 cases of skin defects with non trunk blood flaps and neurocutaneous vascular flaps. The area of flaps ranged from 1cm?1cm to 6cm?8cm. Results After operation, the flaps in 33 cases survived, but died in 2 cases due to unsuitable design. The follow ups ranging from 6 to 12 months showed that the quality and color of the survived flaps were similar to those of the normal tissue around. No swelling was found. Conclusion The superimposed flaps have reliable blood supply so that they are an ideal means to repair skin defects of hand.

Objective To investigate the changes of 4 histamine receptors (H1R, H2R, H2R and H4 R)in interstitial cystitis on animal experimental models. Methods Thirty female SD rats (250-300 g) were randomly divided into 2 groups as follows: 20 in experimental group and 10 in control group. The experimental group was filled with protamine sulfate+ potassium chloride to create interstitial cystitis model, the control group was sacrificed directly. At the end of the experiment, the bladders of all these SD rats were studied by the immunohistochemistry staining and the value of their mean absorbance (-A) was calculated by IPP4.5 image analysis software. The SPSS 11.5 was used to analyze the differences between the groups. Results Four kinds of histamine receptors mainly expressed in the bladder epithelium. In the experimental group, the (-A) of H1 R was 0. 054±0.031, the of H2R was 0.032±0.021, the (-A) of H3R was 0.047±0.033 and the (-A) of H4R was 0. 149±0. 191,respectively. In the control group, the A of H1R was 0. 017±0. 011, the (-A) of H2R was 0. 018±0. 015, the (-A) of H3R was 0. 014±0. 011, the (-A) of H4R was 0. 060±0.039, respectively. In contrast,the A of H1 R, H2 R and H3R in experimental group was increased significantly(P＜0.05); there was no significant change in (-A) of H4R expression(P＞0.05). Conclusions H1, H2 and H3 receptors in rat model interstitial cystitis bladder epithelium have increased and it indicates H1 R, H2R and H3R may be related to interstitial cystitis. H3 R may be a new treatment target of interstitial cystitis.
