OBJECTIVE:To explore the genetic basis for a patient with Dilated cardiomyopathy.METHODS:A patient admitted to Beijing Anzhen Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University in April 2022 was selected as the study subject. Clinical data and family history of the patient was collected. Targeted exome sequencing was carried out. Candidate variant was verified by Sanger sequencing and bioinformatic analysis based on guidelines of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG).RESULTS:DNA sequencing revealed that the patient has harbored a heterozygous c.5044dupG frameshift variant of the FLNC gene. Based on the ACMG guidelines, the variant was predicted to be likely pathogenic (PVS1+PM2_Supporting+PP4).CONCLUSION:The heterozygous c.5044dupG variant of the FLNC gene probably underlay the pathogenesis in this patient, which has provided a basis for the genetic counseling for his family.
Background Saphenous veins are regular bypass conduits selected in non-left anterior descending artery (LAD) coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Despite the technical errors, acute thrombosis, intimal hyperplasia and arteriosclerosis which could lead to saphenous vein graft (SVG) failure, the metal-clipping-related SVG failure is unique and rare. This study was conducted to investigate the clinical and underlying mechanisms of the metal-clipping-related SVG failure. Methods We collected 6 typical cases of the metal-clipping-related SVG failure in 41 patients who were diagnosed graft stenosis by coronary angiograph after CABG in the Department of Cardiology, Beijing Anzhen Hospital, from January 2020 to September 2021. Furthermore, we built an in vitro model to verify the identical intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) pattern of metal clip. Results There were 6 in 41 cases of SVG stenosis caused by clipping of the side branches. We found that the stenosis of SVG caused by metal clipping mostly occurred at the corner and multipole clipping points. In this situation, great resistance could be felt when pushing the instruments through the stenosis and crystallized cholesterol was rarely caught by the distal protection device. We verified the similar IVUS pattern of metal clip at the side-branches of SVG in vitro. Conclusions The metal-clipping-related stenosis may lead to SVG failure. The stenosis of SVG caused by metal clipping mostly occurred at the corner and multipole clipping points. IVUS showed great modality for clarification.
Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of sacubitril valsartan sodium tablets on patients with hypertension and chronic heart failure (CHF) in plateau area.Methods Ninety-six patients with CHF caused by hypertension were enrolled in Lhasa People's Hospital from October 2017 to February 2018.They were randomly divided into observation group (47 cases) and control group (49 cases).The observation group took sacubitril valsartan sodium tablets 100 mg twice per day and the control group took enalapril maleate 10 mg twice per day on the basis of routine treatment for heart failure for 6 months.Main outcome measurements included left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and 6 minutes walking distance (6MWD).Secondary outcome indicators included total death,cardiogenic death,readmission due to heart failure,systolic blood pressure,estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR) and blood potassium level.Results After 6 months of treatment,LVEF and 6MWD in observation group were significantly higher/longer than those in control group [(38 ± 4) % vs (36 ± 4) %,(325 ± 70) m vs (274 ± 72)m] (both P < 0.05).Systolic blood pressure significantly decreased after treatment in both groups (P < 0.05),but there was no significant difference between them(P >0.05).There was no significant difference of eGFR and blood potassium between groups before and after treatment(all P >0.05).Readmission rate due to heart failure within 6 months in observation group was significantly lower than that in control group[21.3% (10/47) vs 42.9% (21/49)](P <0.05).There was no significant difference of total mortality and cardiogenic mortality between groups[2.1%(1/47) vs2.0%(1/49),2.1%(1/47) vs2.0%(1/49)](P>0.05).Conclusion Sacubitril valsartan sodium tablets treating hypertensive patients with CHF at high altitude can more effectively improve left ventricular function,exercise tolerance,quality of life,reduce recurrence and readmission than enalapril.

Our study focused on urine protein of patients with bladder cancer. By using 2-dimensional electrophoresis with matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, we identified 14 differentially expressed protein spots between 3 patients with bladder cancer and 3 normal controls. Apolipoprotein A-I is one of the proteins that was at increased levels in the bladder cancer urine specimens, and it was confirmed by using Western blot analysis. We concluded that 14 differential spots included apolipoprotein A-I and could be potential urinary biomarkers for bladder cancer.Objective: We searched for bladder tumor markers by analyzing urine samples from patients with bladder cancer and from normal controls. Methods: Proteins in urine samples of patients with bladder cancer and with normal controls were systematically examined by 2-dimensional electrophoresis combined with matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The expression of the protein apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) was confirmed by Western blot analysis and further evaluated. Results: We successfully obtained the 2-dimensional electrophoresis gel maps of urinary proteins in patients with bladder cancer and in normal controls. Thirty differentially expressed protein spots were successfully matched by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Combined with the SWISS-PROT database, only 14 proteins (beta-2-microglobulin, fatty acid-binding protein adipocyte, gelsolin, isoform 1 of gelsolin, myoglobin, isoform 2 of fibrinogen alpha chain, apoA-I, prostaglandin D 2 synthase 21 kDa [ brain], protein AMBP, transthyretin, keratin type II cytoskeletal 1, type II cytoskeletal 8, putative uncharacterized protein ALB, putative uncharacterized protein MASP2 [ fragment]) were identified, including 2 putative proteins. Furthermore, apoA-I was confirmed by Western blot analysis, and the high level of apoA-I was found in urine samples from patients with bladder tumors compared with normal controls. Conclusions: Analysis of urinary proteome may be a feasible, noninvasive, and efficient strategy for searching for potential bladder tumor biomarkers. A significant relationship of expressed apoA-I was established between bladder cancer and normal controls. We concluded that 14 differential spots included the apoA-I and would be potential urinary biomarkers for the diagnosis and surveillance of bladder cancer.

OBJECTIVE:Proteomics-based approach was applied to analyze and compare the difference of proteins among human nasal inverted papilloma (NIP), nasal polyposis and normal nasal mucosa, in order to screen different proteins as marker.METHODS:The total proteins of NIP, nasal polyposis and normal nasal mucosa were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE). Protein image obtained by using the gel of Calibrated GS-800 Densitometer system, and determined different protein spots.RESULTS:Six differential proteins between NIP and nasal polyp tissue were identified, which were galectin-1, Manganese-superoxide dismutase, galectin-7, trichostatin A, prohibitin and transferring. All of them were increased in NIP.CONCLUSIONS:Six differential proteins were possibly involved in NIP, which provided a new way for discriminating NIP from nasal polyposis. The data would be good for the establishment of NIP protein 2-DE map.
Objective Prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH) can not be differentiated by serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in clinical medicine,especially when the level of PSA is in the range of 4 μg/L~10 μg/L. To find out some methods for differential diagnosis,proteomic analysis was made on proteins precipitated from urine specimens of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer.
