Objective:To explore the value of quantitative parameters of dynamic CT myocardial perfusion imaging (CT-MPI) in evaluating coronary microcirculation dysfunction (CMD) in a porcine model.Methods:Ten Chinese miniature pig age of 5 to 8 months were randomly selected in this experimental study. After anesthesia, a micro guide wire was introduced via a percutaneous direct puncture through superficial femoral artery. Then 1 ml of microsphere mixture, which contained 0.5×10 5/0.5 ml of microsphere, was slowly injected into the distal of anterior descending artery to establish a CMD animal model. Resting and stress CT-MPI were performed 60 min before and 10 min after CMD. The quantitative parameters of dynamic CT-MPI including myocardial blood flow (MBF) and myocardial blood volume (MBV) were measured. Using the changes of MBF and MBV before and after CMD as self-references, a paired-sample t test was used to compare the differences of MBF and MBV of resting and stress CT-MPI before and after CMD. The animals were sacrificed for myocardial histopathological examination after the imaging examination. Results:Of the 10 experimental animals, two pigs died, and CMD model was successfully established in the other 8 pigs. The MBF and MBV of CMD myocardial segments in resting CT-MPI were (98.6±20.9) ml·100 ml -1·min -1 and (9.0±2.8) ml/100 ml, respectively. The MBF and MBV of CMD myocardial segments in stress CT-MPI were (87.6±14.6) ml·100 ml -1·min -1 and (8.0±1.8) ml/100 ml, respectively. Both of the MBF and MBV of CMD myocardial segments in resting CT-MPI were significantly reduced, compared with those of the normal myocardial segments ( P<0.001). HE staining showed myocardial infarcts interspersed with normal myocardial foci at low magnification. Pathological alterations, including myocardial cytoplasm cohesion, eosinophil level variations, stripe disappearance, nuclear relocation, and cardiomyocyte interstitial edema, were displayed at high-magnification by microscopy. Conclusions:In this experimental study of CMD animal models, MBF and MBV of dynamic CT-MPI were significantly decreased in CMD myocardial segments compared with those before CMD. The changes of MBF or/and MBV can be used as dynamic CT-MPI quantitative parameters for evaluation of CMD.
OBJECTIVE:To assess the effects of statin treatment on mild coronary plaque progression by serial coronary CT angiography.METHODS:A total of 120 consecutive patients (74 men, ages(58.9±8.1)years) with mild (≤50%luminal narrowing and lesion length<20 mm) non-calcified plaque detected by coronary CT angiography during September 2012 and December 2013 were prospectively enrolled in this study.Subjects were divided into three groups: no statin (n=36), statin lowering LDL-C <50% (n=43), and statin lowering LDL-C ≥50%(n=41). Serial scans were performed after a median interval of 705 (interquartile range: 467, 803) days.Total plaque volume, percent plaque volume for both baseline and follow-up were measured.Baseline and follow-up data were compared.RESULTS:Compared with baseline, total plaque volume in no statin group showed increasing trend by the end of follow-up ((97.3±57.8) mm(3) vs. (82.2±57.7) mm(3,) P=0.075). However, no significant change was observed as for total plaque volume ((78.5±45.2) mm(3) vs.(77.6±50.5) mm(3), P=0.910) in the statin lowering LDL-C <50% group.Total plaque volume was significantly reduced by the end of follow-up ((61.5 ± 46.1) mm(3) vs.(77.7±48.1) mm(3), P=0.024) in the statin lowering LDL-C ≥50% group.Percent plaque volume in no statin group was significantly increased by the end of follow-up ((51.9±16.5)% vs.(45.9±12.8)%, P=0.036). However, no significant change was observed as for percent plaque volume ((49.1±13.7)% vs.(47.5±14.9)%, P=0.554) in the statin lowering LDL-C <50% group. Percent plaque volume was significantly reduced by the end of follow-up ((39.1±17.1)% vs.(48.2±15.0)%, P=0.003) in the statin lowering LDL-C ≥50% group. Multivariable linear regression analysis showed that both higher baseline total plaque volume(β=-0.50, P<0.001) and statin lowering LDL-C ≥50%(β=-0.32, P=0.001) were independent determinants of plaque regression.CONCLUSION:This study suggests that LDL-C reduction ≥50% post statin treatment can retard plaque progression, and even induce regression of mild non-calcified coronary plaque, patients with greater baseline coronary plaque volume are more likely to benefit from statin therapy.

目前冠心病的诊断以冠状动脉造影显示管腔狭窄≥50%为标准.临床实践证明,仅仅根据管腔的狭窄程度决定治疗方案是不正确的,还须评估该狭窄冠状动脉的血液动力学状况、微血管和心肌缺血的情况等.对于冠状动脉中度狭窄的临界病变(狭窄程度<70%),管腔的狭窄不一定均有血液动力学意义,冠心病风险也不一定均与狭窄程度相关.越来越多的证据显示,冠状动脉管腔狭窄与心肌缺血之间的关系复杂,单纯依靠狭窄程度判断心肌是否存在缺血并不可靠[1-2].

To unravel the relation of HLA-DRB1*15 with childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), 162 childhood patients with ALL were selected for this investigation. 1 000 normal umbilical cord blood samples were used as control.HLA-DRB1*15 and HLA-DRB5* were typed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis. The relation of HLA-DRB1*15 with childhood ALL was studied by calculating the chi-square test and relative risk. The results showed that the antigen frequencies and allele frequencies of HLA-DRB1*15 in childhood patients with ALL were 40.12% and 22.62% respectively, while the antigen frequencies and allele frequencies of HLA-DRB1*15 in control were 30.80% and 16.81% respectively, there were significant difference between them (chi(2) = 5.560, p = 0.018, RR = 1.506). In conclusion, the antigen frequencies and allele frequencies of HLA-DRB1*15 in childhood patients with ALL were higher than those in control, so the HLA-DRB1*15 gene is one of the genetic risk factors for childhood ALL. These preliminary data may be useful for further study on the pathogenesis of childhood ALL.
目的 探讨癌症患者手术麻醉前焦虑的发生情况及其与患者个性特征的关系.方法 采用焦虑自评量表(SAS)及艾森克人格问卷(EPQ)对164例癌症患者进行手术麻醉前问卷调查.结果 164例癌症患者中存在焦虑45例,发生率为27.44%;EPQ神经质(N)个性特征与焦虑得分之间存在显著的正相关关系(r=0.644,P<0.01),内-外向(E)个性特征与焦虑得分之间存在显著的负相关关系(r=-0.251,P<0.05);焦虑组患者的N高于无焦虑组(P<0.01),而E分低于无焦虑组患者(P<0.05).结论 癌症患者的个性特征是手术前焦虑的重要影响因素.
恶性肿瘤是严重的心理应激,对患者打击很大,他们普遍存在抑郁和焦虑情绪,根据国内外的报道约34%~58%[1,2].而非精神科医师对这些情绪问题识别率低,不能及时处置,致患者生命质量下降,给社会、家庭、个人均带来负担,不利于肿瘤的治疗.本研究对拟进行手术治疗的恶性肿瘤患者存在的情绪障碍进行观察,并探讨有效的干预措施,现将结果报告如下.
