Background: To explore the relationship between the liver X receptor α gene (LXRα) rsl2221497 polymorphism and the susceptibility of coronary heart disease (CHD) and serum lipids and glucose levels.
Methods: The single fluorescently labeled probes technique was used to detect the genotype of rsl2221497 in LXRα gene in 240 CHD patients and 250 healthy control subjects. The difference of genotype distribution between the two groups was analyzed using of Chi-square test.
Objective: To investigate the relationship between angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism and diabetic essential hypertension in elderly population.
Methods: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique was used in 260 elderly normal control patients, 205 elderly hypertensive patients and 138 elderly diabetic hypertensive patients to detect the I/D polymorphism in ACE gene.
Results: DD genotype frequency (0.
Modification of atrioventricular node is a usual and necessary operation to cure atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT). In this operation, atrioventricular block is the most severe complication and its prevention is of our great concern. This complication always occurs under some special circumstances with potential risk.

Therefore, it's helpful to analysis some tachycardia in particular mechanism, as in this case.
Methods And Results: #ENTITYSTARTX02014; A 49 years old Chinese male patient had a history of paroxysmal palpitation for 25 years, and recurred more frequently in the month before admission.
Objective: To investigate the effect of emergency percutaneous coronary interventional (PCI) treatment on plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels and left ventricular remodeling in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Methods: This study included 118 patients with AMI and 20 healthy volunteers (their results were regarded as normal reference). Fifty-two patients who underwent successful emergency PCI 6-12 hours after onset were named as PCI group, and 66 patients rejected or in whom emergency PCI failed served as the control group.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the role of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF beta-1) in cardiac hypertrophy resulting from either volume or pressure overload in patients.
- It involved 32 patients, divided into two groups based on the type of overload, and compared them to a control group of patients who died of non-cardiac diseases, using various techniques to analyze gene expression and heart tissue.
- The findings indicated that levels of bFGF and TGF beta-1, along with changes in cardiomyocyte size and extracellular matrix composition, were significantly increased in patients experiencing either type of overload, highlighting their potential role in cardiac hypertrophy.
