Objective To investigate the correlation between serum levels of microRNA(miR)-489-3p and miR-214-3p in patients with Psoriasis and the severity of disease.Methods From March 2022 to January 2024,138 Psoriasis patients who visited Zhangjiakou First Hospital were regarded as the study subjects(disease group).According to the psoriasis area and severity index(PASI)score,the 138 Psoriasis patients were separated into mild group(n=46),moderate group(n=54)and severe group(n=38).112 healthy individuals who underwent physical examinations in Zhangjiakou First Hospital during the same period were included in the control group.Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR)method was applied to determine the serum levels of miR-489-3p and miR-214-3p in the subjects.The serum levels of miR-489-3p and miR-214-3p were compared between the disease group and the control group,and among patients with different degrees of disease.Spearman correlation analysis was applied to explore the relationship between serum miR-489-3p,miR-214-3p levels and disease severity in Psoriasis patients.Logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the related factors affecting the severity of Psoriasis.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was applied to investigate the diagnostic value of serum miR-489-3p and miR-214-3p levels for severe Psoriasis.Results The serum levels of miR-489-3p(0.81±0.23)and miR-214-3p(0.79±0.22)in the disease group were lower than those in the control group(1.05±0.28,1.02±0.25),and the differences were statistically significant(t=7.441,7.732,all P<0.05).Serum miR-489-3p in mild,moderate and severe Psoriasis groups(0.93±0.24,0.80±0.23,0.69±0.22),miR-214-3p levels(0.91±0.24,0.77±0.22,0.66±0.21)decreased gradually,and the differences were statistically significant(F=12.423,13.168,all P<0.05).Spearman's results showed that serum levels of miR-489-3p and miR-214-3p were negatively correlated with the severity of Psoriasis in patients(r=-0.490,-0.463,all P<0.05).Serum miR-489-3p and miR-214-3p were independent protective factors for the severity of Psoriasis patients(Wald χ2=5.751,8.753,all P<0.05).ROC curve results showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of serum miR-489-3p and miR-214-3p for diagnosing severe Psoriasis alone was 0.785 and 0.792,with sensitivity of 78.9%and 73.7%,specificity of 49.9%and 54.7%,respectively.The AUC of the combined diagnosis for severe Psoriasis was 0.931,the sensitivity and specificity were 71.7%,71.1%,respectively,and the combined diagnostic efficacy of the two was better than that of miR-489-3p and miR-214-3p alone,and the differences were statistically significant(Z=3.018,2.773,all P<0.05).Conclusion The serum levels of miR-489-3p and miR-214-3p in patients with Psoriasis are both reduced,and both are negatively correlated with the severity of the disease in Psoriasis patients.The combined determination of the two has high efficacy in the diagnosis of severe Psoriasis.

ObjectiveTo approach the value of diagnosis with the 256-slice spiral CT in severe tetralogy of Fallot of infant.MethodsFrom January 2008 to December 2010,48 cases (severe tetralogy of Fallot of infant) were examined with 256-slice spiral CT preoperatively.All cases were then analyzed in workspace with maximum intensity projection(MIP),multiplanar reconstruction(MPR) and volume rendering (VR),while compared with transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and surgical results.Results CT examination found that TTE misdiagnosis 4 cases of patent ductus arteriosus and 6 cases of aortic coarctation.Meanwhile,CT showed 6 aorta pulmonary collateral arteries in 5 cases.In 48 cases,surgical results confirmed 47 cases by 256-shce spiral CT,while 33 cases by TTE.The diagnosis accuracy rate of 256-slice spiral CT and TTE was 97.9％ (47/48) and 68.8％ (33/48) respectively.There was statistically significant difference of the two inspections in diagnostic accuracy (P ＜ 0.05).ConclusionThe inspection of 256-slice spiral CT can benefit the preoperative diagnosis and operation program in severe tetralogy of Fallot of infant.

Objectives:To study the pathological behavior and the value of transforming growth factor β1(TGF-β1) in predicting prognosis in pulmonary hypertension associated with congenital heart disease.　Methods:Lung tissues from 29 patients with congenital heart diseases associated with pulmonary hypertension were examined by surgical biopsy of the lung. All samples were examined for the expression and localization of TGF-β1 by immunohistochemical technique with anti-TGF-β1 antibody.　Results:Twenty-six out of 29 showed positive staining of intracellular endotheliocyte TGF-β1(89.65%),16 samples showed extracellular matrix TGF-β1 staining(55.17%).Statistically, there was significant difference between Ⅰ～Ⅱ and Ⅲ～Ⅵ pathological degrees in extracellular matrix(P<0.05).　Conclusions: TGF-β1 plays an important biological role in the formation of pulmonary hypertension after congenital heart disease. It is conductive in predicting prognosis.

Objective To summarize the operative experience of ventricular septal defect(VSD) with severe pulmonary hypertension(PH).Methods 37 patients with VSD complicated with severe PH,who underwent surgical repair were treated combinatively in perioperative period including resting,oxygen inhalation,and administration of captoprill and prostaglandin E 1(PGE 1).All of the patients were operated by cardiopulmonary bypass with moderate hypothermia.Arterial oxygen saturation(SaO 2),pulmonary arterial pressure and cardiac function were observed before and after operation,and progression of cardiac function and mortality were followed-up after discharged.Results 2 patients died of low cardiac output syndrome(LCOS) and one patient died of respiratory failure,and the operative mortality was 8 1%.one patient was diad after 8 months and the cardiac function of 33 patients markedly improved.Conclusions Reasonable treatment in perioperative period and holding the indications for the operation strictly are the keys to decrease the mortality of the operation,and SaO 2 could be a simple measurement to identify the indication of operation and the prognosis of the patient with VSD complicated with severe PH.
