The incidence rate of aortic dissection (AD) is low, but it is highly fatal in the acute phase. Miss diagnosis and misdiagnosis can occur occasionally, resulting the miss of the best intervention time. Research on the epidemiological characteristics and of AD and related risk factors can identify high-risk groups, make screening and diagnosis as soon as possible and effectively control the changeable risk factors to reduce the incidence of AD and improve the outcome of AD cases. This paper summarizes the progress in research of the epidemiological characteristics of AD and related risk factors in order to promote early prevention and diagnosis of AD, improve the AD case management and intervention level.

Objective To study the correlation between single nucleotide polymorphisms at loci rs4535211,rs75885714,and rs7653834 of phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase 2 (PLCL2) gene and large artery atherosclerotic (LAA) ischemic stroke.Methods A total of 105 patients with newly diagnosed LAA ischemic stroke admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from July 2021 to July 2022 were selected as the observation group,and 103 patients with gender and age matching phys-ical examination in this hospital during the same period were selected as the control group. The clinical data and serum inflammatory markers were collected and compared between the two groups.Genotypes of PLCL2 gene rs4535211,rs75885714 and rs7653834 loci in the two groups were detected,and genotype and allele fre-quencies were calculated.Results The levels of C-reactive protein (CRP),interleukin-6 (IL-6),neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR),monocyte to high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol ratio (MHR),platelet to lympho-cyte ratio (PLR) and D-dimer in the observation group were higher than those in the control group.The level of high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) was lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). rs7653834 locus was C/C,C/T,T/T genotypes,and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05).The levels of C/C,T/C and T/T genotypes NLR and PLR at rs7653834 locus were sta-tistically significant between the two groups (P<0.05).The analysis results of co-dominant model,dominant model and overdominant model showed that there was statistical significance in rs7653834 locus genotype be-tween the two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion There may be a potential association between rs7653834 locus polymorphism of PLCL2 gene and LAA type ischemic stroke.

ObjectiveEstablish an animal model of preeclampsia in goats, collect data on various physiological indicators and maternal biological characteristics of the disease model to compare with clinical feature of the disease in humans, provide reference for the prevention and treatment of preeclampsia in humans.Methods Twenty-three goats bred in Chongming district were divided into three groups: Control group, no surgical procedure was performed on animals of this group; sham group, ewes in this group underwent the sham operation on the 100±5th day of gestation, and only the uterine artery was exposed and dissociated; surgical group, a silver vascular clamp was clipped on one side of the uterine body artery of the ewe to narrow the inner diameter of the artery at the same gestation period (100±5) days. Heart rate and hindlimb blood pressure were continuously monitored in control and surgical ewes from 100 to 140 d of gestation, and blood flow data within the lateral branches of the uterine arteries of ewes in the sham group were collected using a hemodynamometer in combination with a hemodynamic probe and an animal physiological signal collector, as well as changes in blood flow within the uterine arteries in the lateral branches of the uterine arteries of the surgical group before and after placement of vascular clips in the surgical ewes. At the expected date of delivery, jugular vein blood was taken from ewes for routine blood test, creatinine, urea nitrogen, and blood ion analysis; urine was also collected from ewes in each group for analysis of urinary protein and urinary creatinine. All experimental groups were subjected to cesarean section on the 140±5th day of gestation in ewes, and then liver, kidney, uterus and placenta tissues were taken from ewes in each group and stained with HE for pathological observation. Results After 15 minutes of preeclampsia modeling surgery, blood flow volume remained stable in the vessel stenosis segment and the volume differential was relatively reduced in comparison to the control group and sham group (P＜0.05，P＜0.01). Compared with the control group, the ewes in the surgical group showed prenatal changes such as increased serum osmolality, decreased hemoglobin, increased blood glucose and urea nitrogen values, as well as increased levels of calcium, sodium, and chloride ions (all P<0.05) and proteinuria, with urinary creatinine and urinary protein-creatinine ratios were significantly higher than those in the control group and sham group (all P<0.05). The elastic lamina of the uterine body arteries on the operated side of the animals in the surgical group was thicker than that on the opposite side, but the structure was loose. The placenta on the operated side showed pathological changes such as cell interstitial swelling and inflammatory cell infiltration. The above physiological index characteristics were more consistent with the clinical features of human preeclampsia disease.Conclusion In this experiment, we successfully constructed a goat preeclampsia model and obtained data on relevant physiological indexes of this model, which further verified the correlation between preeclampsia disease and uterine artery lesions.

Objective:To provide a scientific basis for the standardized operation of clinical disinfection by comparing and analyzing the influence of disinfection times on the accuracy of digital intraoral scanning.Methods:The author prepared 10 brand-new intraoral scanning heads (Trios, 3Shape, Denmark), scan the same plaster standard dentition model after 1, 20, 40, and 60 times of pressure steam sterilization, and obtained the data of four groups of experimental groups A, B, C, D, and scan the model 5 times repeatedly after each disinfection cycle of each scanning head. A model scanner (D2000, 3Shape, Denmark) was used to scan the standard dentition model, and the scan results were used as the control group data. Vernier calipers and measurement software were used to measure the arch length (the distance between the mesial cheek tips of the first molars on both sides of the maxillary) and the front and back length (the distance from the tongue protrusion of the right incisor to the buccal tip of the first molar on the right of the upper jaw) of the plaster model and the data of the 4 experimental groups. The line distance results of the 4 groups of experimental groups were compared for statistical analysis, and the trueness and precision values of the 4 groups of experimental groups were compared for statistical analysis.Results:The length of the arch across the 4 experimental groups increased with the increase in the number of disinfection ( P<0.05), and there were statistical differences compared with the measurement results of the plaster model ( P<0.05); the differences in the length of the dental arch were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The treness of the 4 experimental groups is statistically significant ( P<0.05), and the trueness was from high to low in order of group A [(114.85±3.75) μm], group B [(124.65±3.85) μm], group C [(131.45±3.04) μm] and group D [(144.64±3.34) μm]; the precision of the 4 experimental groups was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The number of times of pressure steam sterilization can affect the accuracy of the scanning results of the digital intraoral scanner, and with the increase of the number of sterilizations, the error of the scanning results also tends to increase. The number of sterilizations has no effect on the repeatability of the digital scanning results. The increase in the number of times of pressure steam sterilization affects the accross of the arch but has no effect on the length of the dental arch, and the range of change of the length of the arch is within the clinically acceptable range. After 60 times of pressure steam sterilization, the accuracy of digital scan data can still meet clinical needs.

Objective: To summarize the experience of surgical treatment of 18 cases of severe aortic stenosis with ventricular septum hypertrophy. Methods: Clinical data of 18 patients with severe aortic stenosis admitted to the first affiliated hospital of zhengzhou university from January 2013 to December 2016 were collected. There were 7 males and 11 females. The mean age was (50.4±4.2) years old. All patients were diagnosed with severe stenosis of main artery valve by echocardiography before surgery, with mean aortic valve orifice area (0.57±0.11) cm^2, cardiac function (NYHA classification) grade Ⅱ in 4 patients, grade Ⅲ in 9 patients, and grade Ⅳ in 5 patients. There were 8 patients with mild aortic valve insufficiency, 4 patients with mild to moderate mitral valve insufficiency, 2 patients with moderate to severe aortic valve insufficiency, 3 patients with ascending aorta dilatation (ascending aorta inner diameter>4.5 cm), and 1 patient with atrial fibrillation. Interventricular septum thickness (15.82±2.04)mm, left ventricular posterior wall thickness (14.04±1.28)mm, ratio of interventricular septum thickness to left ventricular posterior wall thickness (IVS/LVPW) 1.12±0.91, inner diameter of left ventricular outflow tract (19.01±1.74)mm, cross-lobe differential pressure (102±8.40) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) mean 0.49±0.05. Left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) (53.33±4.00) mm, left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD) (27.11±1.99) mm, and left ventricular mass index (277.1±37.3) g/m². All patients underwent aortic valve replacement (AVR) and partial interventricular septum resection under general anesthesia and conventional extracorporeal circulation, 2 patients underwent mitral valve formation (artificial valve ring), 2 patients underwent ascending aorta formation, and 1 patient underwent ascending aorta wrapping. During the operation, the time of extracorporeal circulation, aortic occlusion, number of defibrillation during the operation, type of valve implantation and postoperative complications were recorded. Regular follow-up was conducted to analyze the changes of various indexes at different preoperative and postoperative time. Results: There was no death in the whole group. 2 patients were treated with temporary pacemakers. After drug treatment, sinus rhythm was restored on the 3rd and 6th day after surgery, and temporary pacemakers were removed. Echocardiography reexamination 1 week after the operation showed that all patients had a good artificial valve function and 2 patients had minor regurgitation of mitral valve. The difference in pressure across the valve, inner diameter of the left ventricular outflow tract, cardiac function classification, ventricular septum thickness, valve orifice area, and left ventricular mass index were significantly improved compared with the preoperative level (P<0.05). LVEF, LVEDD, and LVESD were compared with the preoperative level (P<0.05). After 6 months of follow-up, the difference in LVEF and LVEDD was statistically significant compared with the preoperative level (P<0.05). Conclusion Severe aortic stenosis combined with ventricular septum hypertrophy and partial ventricular septal muscle resection is a simple additional procedure in the AVR process, which does not increase the surgical risk and has a significant effect, and is conducive to postoperative left ventricular function recovery.

Objective To assess the effect of aerobic exercise on the cardiovascular autonomic regulation in healthy elderly people living in hypoxia areas at high altitude,through observing the 24 hours of heart rate variability(HRV) and its changes in HRV before,during and after incremental exercise.Methods 60 healthy elderly(＞ 60 years old)living in Qinghai-Tibet plateau(altitude ＞ 2 600 m)were selected and divided into aerobic exercise group(practicing Tibetan traditional dance in long term,n=30)and control group (lacking aerobic exercise,n =30).Blood pressure,heart rate (HR) and oxygen saturation (SO2) were measured.The time domain parameters of HRV were detected by 24 hour Holter test.The time domains of HRV before,during and after incremental exercise were observed by Marquette 2000 treadmill exercise test.Results Systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure and heart rate were lower(t=2.475,2.295,2.099,all P＜0.05),and SO2 and SO2/HR ratio was higher(t=2.907,2.210,P＜0.05)in aerobic exercise group than in control group.As compared with control group,the aerobic exercise group showed that the changes in SDNN were increased significantly during and 10 minutes after incremental exercise(both P＜0.05),and RMSSD and PNN50 were significantly decreased during and 10 minutes after exercise(both P＜0.05).Conclusions Regular aerobic exercise in the elderly people living in hypoxia areas at high altitude can enhance oxygen uptake and utilization,increase the heart rate variability,reduce heart rate and blood pressure,and improve the cardiac autonomic function.

Objective To explore the gender differences in the association between iron metabolism and bone turnover markers in elderly patients with fragility fracture.Methods A total of 271 patients admitted in our hospital from Aug 2014 to Oct 2017 with osteoporotic fractures were divided into two groups:109 males and 162 females,aged from 60 to 92 years.Both groups were further divided into 3 age groups(60 to 70,71 to 80,and ≥81 year group).Biochemical indicators,serum ferritin and bone turnover markers were detected eight hours after admission.Results In the male group,there were no statistical differences in serum ferritin and serum procollagen type Ⅰ Nterminal propeptide(PINP) among age groups (all P ＞ 0.05).Serum β-carboxy terminal telopeptide of collagen type Ⅰβ-CTX(β-CTX)was elevated with ageing.In the female group,serum ferritin,PINP,and β-CTX were elevated with ageing.There was a significant positive correlation between serum ferritin and β-CTX in two gender groups (all P ＜ 0.05)without gender difference.Gender difference was observed in the correlation between serum ferritin and PINP between two gender groups:a significant positive correlation in the female group (r =0.255,P =0.001)whereas a significant negative correlation in the male group(r=-0.207,P=0.031).Conclusions There are gender differences in correlations of serum ferritin with bone turnover markers.Increased iron accumulation in postmenopausal women is closely correlated with high bone turnover rate.

Objective To establish a human HepG2 cell growth model under the low oxygen environment induced by cobalt chloride in order to observe the impacts of human HepG2 cell proliferation,cellular cycles and apoptosis,namely cellular growth conditions,under the low oxygen environment induced by cobalt chloride with different concentrations and to study the HepG2 cell growth mechanism under the low oxygen environment induced by cobalt chloride.Methods The human HepG2 cells in the logarithmic phase were randomized grouping as control group and CoCl2 experimental group with different concentrations (50 μm/L,100 μm/L,150 μm/L and 200 μm/L).① HepG2 cell proliferation was tested by MTT assay to calculate cell's suppression rate and draw HepG2 cell growth inhibition curves.② The move ability of HepG2 cells was observed by scratch test.③ The cellular apoptosis and periodic changes were detected using the flow cytometer Annexin-V FITC/PI double-staining and PI single staining methods.④HepG2 cell's Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and Bcl-2 protein expression were detected by Western Blot.Results ① The test results obtained via MTT assay showed that CoCl2 suppressed the human HepG2 cell proliferation within a certain amount of time and concentration and presented a time-dose dependent relation.② Scratch damage trial suggested that the cobalt chloride suppressed the HepG2 cell migration and wound repair capacity and presented a concentration dependent relation.③ Flow cytometer' s test results revealed that the apoptosis rates (％) in control group and experimental group with different concentrations (50 μm/L,100 μm/L,150 μm/L and 200 μm/L) were 3.42,7.74,13.07,20.56,28.53 and 44.45 (P ＜0.05),respectively.The apoptosis rate of the experimental group was significantly increased compared with the control group,as well as showing a concentration dependency.The results of cellular cycles revealed that the cobalt chloride significantly suppressed the HepG2 cell's periodic changes along with increases of concentration,as well as blocked the cell cycle staying in phase G1,thereby suppressing cell proliferation.④Western Blot test:Compared with the control group,the Bcl-2 protein expression was significantly decreased in the experimental group after treatment of cobalt chloride with different concentrations.Conclusion Within a certain range,CoC12-indiuced low oxygen environment can suppress the human HepG2 cell proliferation and healing migration capacity,induce apoptosis and present a time-dose dependent relation.The mechanism is likely associated with decreases of Bcl-2 protein expression.
