RESUMO
Objective To study the clinical value of anti-oxidative stress biomarkers for diagnosing in-stent restenosis and in-reocclusion after coronary stent implantation in aged patients.Methods A total of 72 advanced-aged patients with in-stent restenosis and in-stent reocclusion after coronary stent implantation were successively recruited in this retrospective study from February 2010 to November 2017.Changes in serum superoxide dismutase 3(SOD3),nitric oxide(NO),endothelial cell nitric oxide synthase(eNOS)and malondialdehyde(MDA)levels were measured.Results Serum 1evels of SOD3,NO and eNOS decreased and serum MDA levels were elevated in advanced-aged patients with in-stent restenosis.There were significant differences in serum levels of SOD3,NO,eNOS and MDA between the advanced-aged patients without in-stent restenosis and the advanced-aged patients with multivessel in-stent restenosis or reocclusion[(20.0±3.2) × 103U/L vs.(10.9±3.9) ×103U/L,(61.2±14.2)μmol/L vs.(28.3±17.2)μmol/L,(75.9±24.7)ng/L vs.(33.0±119.6)ng/L,(2.2±1.4)nmol/L vs.(11.7±3.1)nmol/L,respectively,P＜0.01].Patients with 50-69％ restenosis had higher serum levels of SOD3,NO and eNOS and lower levels of MDA than patients with 100％ restenosis[(21.3 ± 2.9) × 103 U/L vs.(10.3 ± 4.0) × 103 U/L,(59.7 ± 16.7) μmol/L vs.(38.3 ±16.3)μmol/L,(74.5±21.1)ng/L vs.(41.9±26.8)ng/L,(2.6±3.9 nmol/L)vs.(10.1±3.1)nmol/L,respectively,P ＜ 0.01].Patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 55 ％ had higher serum levels of SOD3,NO and eNOS and lower levels of MDA than patients with LVEF＜30％ [(21.0±4.1) × 103 U/L vs.(5.3±1.9) × 103 U/L,(60.1 ± 14.2)μmol/L vs.(29.0± 13.2)μmol/L,(74.7±25.1)ng/L vs.(39.3 ± 20.3) ng/L,(2.3 ± 1.5) nmol/L vs.(10.0 ± 3.9) nmol/L,respectively,P ＜0.01].Serum levels of SOD3,NO and eNOS were higher and MDA levels were lower in patients with New York Heart Association(NYHA)Class Ⅰ than in patients with NYHA Class Ⅳ[(22.1±3.5)×103U/L vs.(9.7±2.9) × 103 U/L,(62.9± 13.9)μmol/L vs.(24.9± 13.3)μmol/L,(76.7±26.7) ng/L vs.(41.9±21.5)ng/L,(2.7± 1.9)nmol/L vs.(8.7±3.8)nmol/L,respectively,P＜0.01].Conclusions Serum level changes of anti-oxidative stress biomarkers such as SOD3,NO and eNOS may have clinical value in diagnosing in-stent restenosis and in-reocclusion after coronary stent implantation in aged patients.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate risk factors for in-stent restenosis and reocclusion after coronary stent implantation in aged patients.Methods 131 patients diagnosed with chronic total occlusion and old myocardial infarction due to coronary stenosis were recruited in this retrospective study from Mar 2004 to May 2015.Patients were divided into 50 to 59 years old group (n=51),60 to 69 years old group (n=43),and 70 to 80 years old group (n=37) to study coronary lesion characteristics.In-stent restenosis and reocclusion were detected at 6,12,18,and 24 months after coronary stent implantation.Results Before coronary stent implantation,the incidence rate of type 2 diabetes was significantly increased with three increasing age groups:9.8％ at ages 50-59 group (n=5),18.6％ at ages 60-69 group (n=8),and 27.0％ at ages 70-80 group (n=10) (all-P＜0.01).The incidence rates of multiple coronary artery disease,long coronary lesions (＞20 mm),eccentric coronary lesions,serious angle of coronary lesions,irregular coronary lesions,proximal coronary curvature,moderate to severe calcified coronary lesions,coronary restenosis (90％-99％ or 100％),and complex bifurcation lesions were significantly elevated with three increasing age groups (P ＜0.01 or P ＜0.05).The ratios of patients with in-stent restenosis at 24 months after coronary stent implantation were significantly elevated with three increasing age groups:at 9.8％ (n=5),18.6％ (n=8),and 27.0％(n=10) for 90％ 99％ restenosis sub-group,and at 5.9％ (n=3),14.0％ (n=6) and 24.3％ (n=9) for 100％ restenosis sub-group,respectively (all P＜0.05 or P＜0.01)Conclusions Type 2 diabetes is an independent risk factor for complex coronary lesions in aged patients Complex coronary lesions,three or more stents,and long coronary stents may lead to ir-stent restenosis and reocclusion after coronary stent implantation in aged patients.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: Prolactinoma (prolactin-secreting pituitary adenoma) is one of the most common estrogen-related functional pituitary tumors. As an agonist of the dopamine D2 receptor, bromocriptine is used widely to inhibit prolactinoma progression. On the other hand, it is not always effective in clinical application. Although a dopamine D2 receptor deficiency contributes to the impaired efficiency of bromocriptine therapy to some extent, it is unknown whether there some other underlying mechanisms leading to bromocriptine resistance in prolactinoma treatment. That is the main point addressed in this project. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Human prolactinoma samples were used to analyze the S-phase kinase associated protein 2 (SKP2) expression level. Nutlin-3/adriamycin/cisplatin-treated GH3 and MMQ cells were used to analyze apoptosis in SKP2 overexpression or knockdown cells. SKP2 expression and the interaction partners of SKP2 were also detected after a bromocriptine treatment in 293T. Apoptosis was analyzed in C25 and bromocriptine-treated GH3 cells. RESULTS: Compared to normal pituitary samples, most prolactinoma samples exhibit higher levels of SKP2 expression, which could inhibit apoptosis in a p53-dependent manner. In addition, the bromocriptine treatment prolonged the half-life of SKP2 and resulted in SKP2 overexpression to a greater extent, which in turn compromised its pro-apoptotic effect. As a result, the bromocriptine treatment combined with C25 (a SKP2 inhibitor) led to the maximal apoptosis of human prolactinoma cells. CONCLUSION: These findings indicated that SKP2 inhibition sensitized the prolactinoma cells to bromocriptine and helped promote apoptosis. Moreover, a combined treatment of bromocriptine and C25 may contribute to the maximal apoptosis of human prolactinoma cells.

Objective Brain metastasis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) significantly reduces the survival time of the patients, and no effective tool is yet available for the prediction of the risk.This study aimed to develop an effective and feasible nomogram for predicting brain metastasis of NSCLC after radical surgery.Methods This retrospective study included 636 cases of NSCLC treated by radical resection of the tumor in our hospitals between January 2010 and January 2014.Based on the analysis of the risk factors for brain metastasis, we developed a nomogram using logistic regression with the R-language, calculated the confidence interval (CI) of the C-index using the bootstrap, and then internally verified the overfitting degree of the model to evaluate its stability.Results Brain metastasis developed in 94 of the 636 patients.According to the results logistic regression analysis, the risk factors for brain metastasis included history of cigarette smoking (OR=1.783, 95% CI: 1.037-3.066), pathological types (OR=0.453, 95% CI: 0.275-0.744), the T stage (OR=2.047, 95% CI: 1.511-2.774), and the N stage (OR=1.588, 95% CI: 1.154-2.184).The nomogram showed a coefficient of coincidence of 0.73 (0.71-0.82) and a mean absolute error rate of 0.012, which indicated an excellent stability.Conclusion The nomogram we developed can be used to predict the risk of brain metastasis in individual NSCLC patients after surgery, contributing to follow-up programs and preventive strategies for brain metastasis.
RESUMO
Objectives To study the predictive value of Toll-like receptors 3,4(TLR3,TLR4),fructosamine(FMN)and glycated hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c)in the in-stent restenosis and re-occlusion after primary percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)in patients aged 70-85 years with old myocardial infarction.Methods 51 patients aged 70-85 years with in-stent restenosis after primary PCI from Jan 2007 to Sep 2016 were selected.Serum level changes in TLR3,TLR4 were detected by flow cytometry.The levels of FMN and HbA1c were tested by colorimetric endpoint reaction and high-pressure liquid chromatography respectively.Results The levels of TLR3,TLR4,FMN and HbA1c were gradually elevated along with the increases of artery numbers(0,1,2,>2)and percentage(0%,70-89%,90-99%,100%)of in-stent restenosis,LVEF(%)decrease and NYHA(Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ)increase(all P2)of in-stent restenosis in TLR3,and group of percentage(0%,70-89%,90-99%,100%)in the in-stent restenosis in TLR4,group of LVEF(%)in FMN,and group of NYHAⅠ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ in HbA1c(%)(all P2)groups were(7.6±0.5),(18.9±0.6),(32.0±0.9),(51.3±0.8),respectively(all P<0.01).The levels of TLR4(%)in the in-stent restenosis percentage(0%,70-89%,90-99%,100%)groups were(10.5±7.0),(20.1±7.2),(33.3±9.7),(69.0±11.3%)respectively(all P<0.01).The levels of FMN(mmol/L)in LVEF[(49~59%),(37~48%),(25~36%)]groups were(0.6±0.4),(9.4±0.6),(18.1±0.8),respectively(all P<0.01).And the level of HbA1c(%)in groups of NYHA Ⅰ,NYHA Ⅱ,NYHA Ⅲ,NYHA Ⅳ were(6.1±0.4),(5.9±0.6),(8.9±0.9),(12.0±0.8),respectively(all P<0.01).Conclusions Serum level changes in TLR3,TLR4,FMN and HbA1c may become the new indicators to forecast the degree of in-stent restenosis in very old patients with old myocardial infarction after primary coronary intervention.
RESUMO
Objective To study the changes in expression of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP),glutathione S-transferase Pi(GSTPi)and annexin A5 (AnxA5)in elderly patients with old myocardial infarction and the clinical significance.Methods Serum levels of GSTPi and AnxA5 were measured by ELISA and the level of hs-CRP was measured by immunoturbidimetry in elderly patients with old myocardial infarction (n =185)from December 2012 to November 2015.Results Along with the increasing coronary artery stenosis,GSTPi level was decreased and AnxA5/hs-CRP levels were increased in elderly patients with old myocardial infarction.In comparison between coronary artery stenosis ＞ 95％ group versus stenosis of 55％-65％ group,GSTPi was(190.0±37.0)μg/L vs.(289.0 ±86.0)μg/L,AnxA5 was(33.9±4.0)μg/L vs.(8.1 ± 2.9) μg/L,and hs-CRP was (15.3 ± 1.3) mg/L vs.(5.9 ± 0.8) mg/L with statistically significant differences(all P＜0.01).There were significant differences between LVEF 30％ group[GSTPi(198.0±39.0) μg/L,AnxA5(38.9±5.1)μg/L and hs-CRP(17.9± 1.9)mg/L]and LVEF 40％-54％ group[GSTPi(219.0± 61.0)μg/L,AnxA5 (12.9±3.9)μg/L and hs-CRP(10.1 ± 1.0) mg/L] (all P＜0.01).There were significant differences between NYHA Ⅳ group [GSTPi (171.0 ± 43.0) μg/L,AnxA5 (18.1 ± 5.0) μg/L and hs-CRP (16.9±2.1)mg/L]and NYHAⅠgroup[GSTPi(295.0±91.0)μg/L,AnxA5(7.3±3.1)μg/L and hs-CRP (7.8± 1.3)mg/L](all P＜0.01).Conclusions The expression of GSTPi,AnxA5 and hs-CRP in elderly patients with old myocardial infarction may become the new indicators to forecast the degrees of coronary artery stenosis and heart failure.
RESUMO
Objective:To evaluate the efficiency of the tibial coronal alignment after total knee arthro-plasty with the extramedullary cutting system guided by the tibial tubercle and anterior tibial tendon,and to discuss the potential risk factors for the postoperative malalignment.Methods:A retrospective study of 212 primary unilateral TKA surgeries (in 188 patients)in our hospital between June to December in 2014 had been analysed.All the cases were performed by one surgical group.An extramedullary tibial cutting guide system had been used,with a landmark of one third inner-medial tibial tubercle as a proxi-mal anatomy reference,and anterior tibial tendon as a distal marker.The mechanical axis of lower ex-tremity in full-length X-ray was measured before surgery,and the tibial prosthetic coronal alignment was checked two weeks postoperation,evaluating the accuracy of this extramedullary cutting system guided by our method.Results:Since good alignment was defined as an angle within 3 degrees of the perpendicular to the mechanical axis,the tibial component positions were acceptable in 191 knees (90.1%),five knees were in valgus postoperative,and sixteen knees were in varus.There were seventeen(8.7%)in 179 knees with a preoperative varus presented malalignment after surgery,and four in 12 preoperative valgus kneess howed malalignment also,no statistical difference was found by Chi-square test (χ2 =2.778,P=0.096),which cannot define the relationship between the varus or valgus deformity preopera-tion and the malalignmentposition in tibial prosthesis after surgery.Twenty-two knees suffered a severe preoperative deformity as a varus or valgus angle larger than 20 degrees with absolute value of mechanical axis before surgery and tibial prosthetic coronal alignment were 21.95°(20.00°,26.90°)and 1.85° (0.10°,7.10°),showed a significant difference (Z =2.11,P =0.035 )compared with the data [10.65°(0.50°,19.80°)in preoperative mechanical axis and 1.10°(0.00°,4.60°)in the tibial pros-thetic coronal alignment]of 190 knees who presented a mild deformity before surgery(less than 20 de-grees),the result indicated the severe preoperative deformity might be a potential mal-alignment risk fac-tor within this cutting system in TKA surgery.Conclusion:The tibial coronal alignment after total knee arthroplasty could achieve good results with extramedullary cutting guide,by using one third inner-medial tibial tubercle and anterior tibial tendon as a proximal and distal anatomy marker.Postoperative varus might occur in this system,and tibial prosthetic malalignment appeared more often in the patients who suffered a severe deformity before surgery.

RESUMO
Objective To investigate the clinlic therapeutic result of detenial sigmoid neobladder after radical cystectomy. Methods 50 patients with bladder cancer (41 males and 9 females;age range from 35 to 82 years) were admitted and underwent radical cystectomy and detenial sigmoid neobladder. Results All the 50 patients were followed up for a mean of 18.6 months(range from 6 to 29 months).The blood Cr and BUN levels were both in the normal range without acidosis in all the cases.Only 2 had unilateral ureteral urine reflux during cystography.Of the 50 patients 45 cases(90%) achieved continence during daytime;10 cases(20%) were incontinent at night,but 8 of the 10 cases could control urination by being woken up at night.The capacity of the neobladder was 220 to 550 ml with a mean of 350 ml and the maximal pressure of the neobladder during filling was 15 to 55 cmH 2O(1 cmH 2O=0.098 kPa) with a mean of 35 cmH 2O. Conclusions As a simple operation the detenial sigmoid neobladder can be performed easily with less complications and more reliable results.This operation may be generally applied in clinical practice.
