Objective:To investigate the onset time distribution and influential factors in patients with acute myocardial infarction (ACI) with different body mass index (BMI) levels.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted to collect clinical data from 1 000 patients with AMI who received treatment at Heilongjiang Provincial Hospital from January 2016 to November 2022. The patients were divided into groups based on different BMI levels: < 18.5 kg/m 2 group ( n = 49), 18.5-24 kg/m 2 group ( n = 369), > 24-28 kg/m 2 group ( n = 338), and > 28 kg/m 2 group ( n = 244). The incidence of AMI was analyzed among patients with different BMI levels as per diurnal variation, seasonality, and weekday. Results:A total of 1 000 patients were included in this study, including 648 men and 352 women. The mean age of these patients was 65 years (range 56-74 years). The median body mass was 70 kg (range 60-76 kg), the median height was 1.69 m (range 1.60-1.72 m), and the median BMI was 24.49 kg/m 2 (range 22.22-26.79 kg/m 2). The onset time of AMI differed significantly among patients with different BMI levels in terms of the period from 0:00 to 5:59, winter, and Wednesday ( P = 0.047, 0.029, 0.005). Among all samples, the number of patients with a BMI of 18.5-24 kg/m 2 was the highest, reaching 369 cases. Conclusion:The incidence of AMI in patients with different BMI levels exhibits a regular distribution as per diurnal variation, seasonality, and weekday.

Objective To analyze and summarize the treatment strategies for unstable angina with no-reflow phenomenon after PTCA during early percutaneous interventional procedures.Methods A total of 32 cases with unstable angina were divided into two groups:one group with drug therapy and the other group with drug therapy and thrombus aspiration catheter.The patients were chosen when there was no-reflow phenomenon after PTCA during early percutaneous interventional procedures and their clinical data were compared and analyzed.Blood flow TIMI grade,myocardial perfusion grade (MBG),TIMI myocardial perfusion (TMP) grade and other indexes were observed and recorded.Results The general conditions had no statistical difference between two groups.Compared with the drug therapy group,the proportion of patients with TIMI,MBG and TMP grade 3 was higher in aspiration and drug therapy group (89％ VS 71％ P＜0.05).Conclusion Drug therapy and thrombus aspiration catheter in treatment helps to improve myocardial perfusion level for unstable angina with no no-reflow phenomenon after PTCA during early percutaneous interventional procedures.

Objective To study the ralationship of arrhythmias and heart electrical parameters changes after transcatheter closure of ventricular septal defect (VSD) .Method 50 patients had been successfully finnished the transcatheter closure of ventricular septal defect,and then we observed ralationship of arrhythmias and heart electrical parameters changes. Results (1) Compared with the situation of VSD occluder preoperative and postoperative, during follow-up there were 20 arrhythmia cases, including bundle branch block 16 cases, including the complete left bundle branch block 2 cases,complete right bundle branch block 4 cases,a transient third-degree trioventricular conduction block 1 case, most return to normal in the follow-up. 2 Intracavitary electrogram showed before and after transcatheter closure:A-V conduction parameters A-H,H-V value of (75.10 ± 14.34) ms vs (80.67±23.03) ms and (47.9±12.61) ms vs (50.07±15.23) ms,the difference was not statistically significant ( >0.05) .

Objective To test synchronization of cardiac mechanical contraction by means of advanced echocardiography and investigate the correlation of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and the indexes of mechanical dyssynchrony, and the relationship between DTI, STI and RT-3DE.Methods Control group (20 cases), chronic heart failure with a widened QRS complex (12 cases) and chronic heart failure with a shortened QRS duration (10 cases) were selected. We evaluated mechanical dyssynchrony with the DTI, the STI and the RT-3DE, and analyzed the correlation between the improvement degree of cardiac function and indexes of mechanical dyssynchrony, and the correlation between DTI, STI and RT-3DE. Results (1) In CHF groups (including shortened QRS group and widened QRS group), the indexes of synchronization of cardiac mechanical contraction were higher than control group ( <0.05) . (2) However, the indexes of mechanical dyssynchrony before operation showed no statistically significant difference between the widened QRS group and the shortened QRS group (>0.05) . (3) In CHF groups (including shortened QRS group and widened QRS group), the indexes of mechanical dyssynchrony before operation were higher more than after operation ( <0.05) . (4) In postoperation, the indexes of mechanical dyssynchrony showed no statistically significant difference between the widened QRS group and the shortened QRS group ( >0.05) . (5) There was a significant negative correlation between the LVEF and the indexes of mechanical dyssynchrony (<0.01) . (6) .In the indexes of synchronization of cardiac mechanical contractions, there are significant positive correlations between the DTI, the STI and the RT-3DE ( <0.01) . Conclusion Echocardiography can be used to screen CHF patients,and patients with left ventricular synchronous (including shortened QRS duration) can also be benefited from CRT.

OBJECTIVETo illuminate the regulating effect of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) on gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) and connexin 43 (Cx43) gene expression in glioma cells, which is tissue- and organ-specific.

METHODRat C6 glioma cells were exposed to ATRA at a concentration of 1, 10, 100 micromol/L and the GJIC function of the cells was examined with scrape-loading dye transfer assay 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours after ATRA treatment. The effect of ATRA on Cx43 gene expression was measured with semiquantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) 24 hours after ATRA exposure.

RESULTSThe GJIC function of C6 glioma cells was significantly increased by ATRA at each concentration applied. The dye passed 4 to 5 rows of cells from the scraping edge in ATRA treated cells, but only 1 or 2 rows in the control. The augment effect was observed 24 hours after each concentration ATRA treatment, and lasted till 72 hours after treatment with 1 micromol/L and 10 micromol/L ATRA. Forty-eight hours after exposed to 100 micromol/L ATRA, the enhancement of GJIC was less obvious. There was no significant increase induced by ATRA on the transcription of Cx43 gene, as demonstrated by semiquantitative RT-PCR.

CONCLUSIONATRA turned out to be a potent enhancer on GJIC function in C6 glioma cells, andthe enhancement effect was most probable at post-transcriptional level.
