Objective To investigate the incidence and clinical significance of coronary artery anomalies in adults undergoing coronary angiography. Methods Data of all patients underwent coronary angiography from Jan 2001 to Nov 2003 in our hospital were reviewed retrospectively. Results Among 2?824 adult patients, 61 had coronary artery anomalies of which 84.1% were anomalous origin and distribution. The total detection rate of coronary artery anomalies was 2.1%. Anomalies were found to be happened more in the right coronary artery than in the left coronary artery. Four cases failed to undergo selective right coronary angiography. Conclusion Coronary artery anomalies are not rare in adults. Some types of coronary artery anomalies can induce myocardium ischemia and require intervention. Catheterization diagnosis and therapy of patients with anomalous origin of coronary artery may be difficult2?

BACKGROUND: Fresh amniotic membrane has been extensively used in treating ocular surface disease, which can inhibit fibrous tissue proliferation, inhibit neovascularization, and relieve inflammation. However, its application in treating glaucoma is rarely reported.OBJECTIVE: To explore the antiproliferative effect of fresh amniotic membrane on postoperative scar and compared with preserved amniotic membrane.METHODS: A total of 36 New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups. Fresh amniotic membrane and preserved amniotic membrane combined with trabeculectomy separately underwent fresh amniotic membrane and preserved amniotic membrane transplantation. The control group was subjected to trabeculectomy alone. After 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks, the morphology and function of filtering bleb were checked, and the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) of surrounding tissue was determined by immunohistochemical method.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Fresh amniotic membrane and preserved amniotic membrane groups displayed bulged filtering bleb with good filtering function. Pathological observation showed that fibroblasts of the filtration pathway had less, but more sparse scar tissues than control group, but inflammatory infiltration was observed in all groups. The cavity of different sizes and shapes were detected in filtration pathway of control group, which was replaced by fibrous tissue hyperplasia, with a large number of fibroblasts. Immunohistochemical results showed that the expression of PDGF was significantly less in fresh amniotic membrane and preserved amniotic membrane groups compared with the control group, and the PDGF expression was less in fresh amniotic membrane group than the preserved amniotic membrane group. Fresh and preserved amniotic membrane can improve the filtering bleb function, reduce scar formation, and maintain the patency of filtering pathway. Moreover, the effects of fresh amniotic membrane is better than preserved amniotic membrane.

Camptothecin is known to possess a broad spectrum of anticancer activities, however due to its high toxicity and low solubility in water, camptothecin is severely limited in clinic. To optimize the effects of camptothecin in the treatment of malignancies, besides the structural modification and reconstruction of camptothecin, the establishment of new drug delivery systems becomes a hot topic in the camptothecin research. This paper aims to summarize the advanced progress in the delivery system and function of camptothecin at recent years. The advances in improving the poor solubility, lactone ring instability, controlled release systems and targeting delivery systems of camptothecin are also reviewed. As the related methods and technologies are improved and developed, camptothecin will be a group of prospective anticancer drugs.

Objective To explore the effect of TBL based on evidence-based medicine PICOS model in practice teaching of neurology. Methods Totally 47 medical undergraduates in our department were chosen and randomly divided into 2 groups during March 2016 to April 2016. 24 students in the trial group were taught with TBL based on PICOS, while other 23 students in the control group were only taught with conventional TBL method. After three times clinical practices, the test referring to disease pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, auxiliary examinations, diagnosis and treatments of related diseases was performed, and meanwhile, questionnaires were distributed to students in order to survey their satisfaction degree of teaching methods. All the evaluation results and scores of two groups were compared. Statistical data were analyzed by using t-test or Chi-square test with SPSS 17.0 software. Results The score of the theoretical test of trial group was significantly superior to the control group [(89.08±3.60) vs. (79.09±7.75), t=5.707, P=0.03 ]. Survey showed that in the experimental group , the number of students in the trial group who thought teaching method could help understand clinical thinking of neurology and could help integrate the theory into clinical practicewas significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion In the clinical teaching of neurology, the TBL based on PICOS model is more effective than conventional TBL method for medical undergraduates.

Objective: To confirm the structure and preferential conformation of the Schiff base of gossypol with 1, 3, 4, 6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucosamine and explore its anti-HIV-1 activity.Methods: The Schiff base of gossypol with 11, 3, 4, 6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucosamine was synthesized and identified by FT-IR, NMR spectroscopy and the PM6 semi-classical calculation.The inhibitory activity of the novel compound against the laboratory-adapted HIV-1IIIB strain was examined using the HIV-1IIIB/TZM-bl indicator cell culture system.Results: The 1H and 13C-NMR signals of the new Schiff base were assigned.The PM6 semi-classical calculation indicated that enamine-enamine tautomeric form of the new Schiff base was more stable,which was stabilized by the intramolecular hydrogen bonds.The anti-HIV-1 test showed that the compound could block the entry of HIV-1IIIB into the target cells.Conclusion: The Schiff base of gossypol with 1, 3, 4, 6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucosamine exhibits enamine-enamine tautomeric form in solution, which shows potential anti-HIV-1 activity.

Objective To analyze the correlation between mutation in JAK2-V617F gene in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and thrombotic events in patients with myeloproliferative.Methods Investigation of thrombosis in 391 patients with MPN,using QRT-PCR to detect JAK2-V617F gene mutation in peripheral blood of patients.Result 105 cases of thrombotic events in 391 MPN patients (26.9％),84 cases of thrombotic events in 273 JAK2-V617F gene mutation positive patients (30.8 ％),however,21 cases of thrombotic events in 118 J AK2-V617F gene mutation negative panents (17.8 ％).The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (x2 =32.30,P＜0.01).In the PV group,45 cases of thrombosis events in JAK2-V617F positive patients (29.2 ％),6 cases of thrombosis events in JAK2-V617F negativepatients (42.9％),there was significant difference between the two groups (x2 =2.13,P＞0.05).In the ET group,18 cases of thrombosis events in JAK2-V617F positive patients (32.2％),9 cases of thrombosis events in JAK2-V617F negative patients (15.8％),there was significant difference between the two groups (x2 =12.32,P＜0.01).In the PMF group,21 cases of thrombosis events in JAK2-V617F posinve patients (33.3 ％),6 cases of thrombosis events in JAK2-V617F negativepatients (12.8 ％),there was significant difference between the two groups (x2 =14.32,P＜0.01).Conclusion JAK2-V617F positive MPN patients were more susceptible to thrombotic events especially in patients with ET and PMF.
