ABSTRACT
Objective To study the changes of serum brain natriuretic peptide(BNP),uric acid(UA)and procalcitonin(PCT)levels in children patients with dilated cardiomyopathy(DCM).Methods 24 children pa-tients with DCM and 24 children undergoing healthy physical examination from March 2015 to September 2016 were selected as the observation group and control group.The observation group was divided into differ-ent Ross grade groups according to the improved Ross heart failure grade scoring.The levels of serum BNP, UA and PCT in each group were detected and their correlation with the main echocardiographic indicators was analyzed.Results The levels of BNP,UA and PCT had statistical difference between the observation group and control group(P<0.05);the BNP and UA levels had statistical difference among different Ross grades (P<0.05),moreover which were increased along with the severity increase,but the PCT level had no statisti-cally significant(P> 0.05);the BNP level was positively correlated with the DCM severity(r= 0.713,P=0.000),the UA level was positively correlated with the DCM severity(r=0.489,P=0.002),while the corre-lation between the PCT level and DCM severity had no statistical significance(r=0.288,P=0.076);the BNP had obvious correlation with main echocardiographic indicators(P<0.05).Conclusion The levels of serum BNP,UA and PCT in children patients with DCM are changed significantly,in which BNP and UA may be the good markers for reflecting the disease severity and progression or prognosis.
ABSTRACT
DCD WeChat ethical review had its necessity and superiority but problems and confusion as well. For instance, WeChat review time was urgent and limited;WeChat review discussed insufficiently even hard to car-ry out;the methods of WeChat review were limited;the authenticity of audit opinion was difficult to grasp;the re-view data privacy existed hidden danger;the review quality was difficult to guarantee;WeChat conference content file archive was difficult, and so on. As to this, the author put forward the following countermeasures:giving war-ranty on the ethical review time as far as possible;initiating the committee review by the referee and uploading the review information to WeChat group, then ethical reviewers expressing their opinions in real names to ensure data confidentiality and privacy protection; strengthening the ethics committee education for organ transplantation; im-proving the quality of the review committee members and moral cultivation;archiving the WeChat conference infor-mation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the distribution of RAS,AGT,ACE,eNOS,ET-2,ANP and NPRC of es-sential hypertension in Yunnan Han healthy population.Methods Gene chip technology was used to detect the pol-ymorphism of AGT M235T (MM, MT,TT), ACE I/D (II, ID, DD ), eNOS Glu298Asp (EE, ED, DD), ET-2 A985G (AA,AG,GG) ,ANP T2238C(TT,TC,CC) and NPRC A-55C(AA,AC,CC) in 97 health subjects.Results The MM,MT and TT genotype frequency of AGT M235T was 0.052,0.381 and 0.567 ,alle frequency of M and T was 0.242 and 0.758 in 97 healthy subjects of Yunnan population;The II, ID and DD frequency of ACE I/D was 0.340, 0.598 and 0.062, alle frequency of I and D was 0.680 and 0.320 in 97 healthy subjects of Yunnan population ;EE, ED and DD frequency of eNOS Glu 298 Asp was 0.845,0.144 and 0.011 ,alle frequency of E and D was 0.918 and 0.082 in 97 healthy subjects of Yannan population;AA,AG,GG frequency of ET-2 A985G was 0.020,0.258 and 0.722, alle frequency of A and G was 0.149 and 0.851 in 97 healthy subjects of Yunnan population;TT and TC fre-quency of ANP T2238C was 0.959 and 0.041 ,and CC was not detected;alle frequency of T and C was 0.979 and 0.021 in 97 healthy subjects of Yunnan population;AC and CC frequency of NPRC A-55C was 0.763 and 0.237, and no AA was detected,alle frequency of A and C was 0.381 and 0.619 in 97 healthy subjects of Yunnan popula-tion.Conclusion The polymorpbism of ACT M235T,ACE I/D,eNOS Glu298Asp,ET-2 A985G,ANP T2238C and NPRC A-55C is locally distributed in Yunnan Han healthy population.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effect of Qianlie Huichun on the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) in prostate tissues and expound its anti-prostatomegaly action in model rats with prostatic hypertrophy induced by injected testosterone.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 60 male rats were eventy randomized into six groups. All were gelded except the normal control group. After a week, the gelded rats were injected with testosterone(4 mg/kg/d), meanwhile the first group were fed with a small dosage of Qianlie Huichun(0.4 g/kg/d), the second group with a medium dosage(0.8 g/kg/d), the third group with a large dosage(1.6 g/kg/d), and the fourth group injected with estriol(2.5 mg/kg/d), all for a month. The fifth group were model controls, and the sixth the normal controls, both fed with the same amount of pure water for a month. Then all the six groups of rats were killed and their prostate glands were resected for the examination of the expression rate of VEGF by immunohistochemical method.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The difference of VEGF expression between Qianlie Huichun groups and the model group was significant(P < 0.01), and so was it between the medium and large dosage middle, large amount of Qianlie Huichun groups and the estriol group(P < 0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Qianlie Huichun depressed the VEGF expression of the prostate gland in model rats, and the expression rate decreased with the increased amount of the drug, which shows that Qianlie Huichun has a definite therapeutic effect on prostatic hypertrophy by depressed the vascular growth of the vessel in the prostate gland.</p>
