ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the contrast agent back flow,balloon ejection and pain which appeared during the examination process,and define the advantages and disadvantages of different rates of high pressure injector to take hysterosalpingography (HSG) examination.Methods 229 patients who took HSG examination in our department were divided into two groups randomly.The rate of conventional group was 0.3 mL/s,and low rate group was 0.15 mL/s.The contrast agent back flow,balloon ejection and pain which appeared on the examined patients of two groups were recorded.T test was adopted to compare the age difference of two groups.χ2 test was used to compare the differences of diagnosis results,contrast agent back flow and balloon ej ection of two groups.Wilcoxon rank sum test was used to compare the pain difference of two groups.Results Two groups had no significant differences on age, diagnosis results and contract agent back flow (t=1.237,χ2=0.004,χ2=1.521,P>0.05).Balloon ejection of two groups had significant difference(χ2=17.319,P<0.05).The appeared pain of two groups had significant difference (U=-2.337,P<0.05).Conclusion Using high pressure injector to inject contrast agent with low flow rate is better for HSG.

ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To construct a lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor (LOX-1) RNA interference (RNAi) lentivirus and explore the role of LOX-1 in H(2)O(2)-induced apoptosis of rat myocardial cells.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>LOX-1 shRNA sequence was synthesized and cloned into pLentiLox3.7 (pLL3.7) lentiviral vector to construct the lentiviral vector pLL3.7-LOX1. The lentiviral vectors (pLL3.7 and pLL3.7-LOX1) and the packaging vectors dR8.9 and VSVG were co-transfected into 293FT cells for packaging the lentivirus. H9C2 myocardial cells were infected by the lentiviruses to observe the inhibitory rate of LOX-1 on H(2)O(2)-induced apoptosis of H9C2 cells by RT-PCR, CCK-8, and Hochest33258 staining.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Double restriction enzyme digestion and DNA sequencing confirmed correct insertion of the sequence. Suppression of LOX-1 by the lentivirus attenuated H(2)O(2)-induced cell viability reduction and apoptosis in the myocardial cells (P<0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>LOX-1 activation may play an important role in H(2)O(2)-induced apoptosis of rat myocardial cells.</p>
