Chinese Circulation Journal 2016;31(9):878-880
Objective: To explore the clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of papillary musclehypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Methods: Our research contained 2 groups: Papillary muscle hypertrophic cardiomyopathy group,n=21 patients treated in our hospital from 2013-01 to 2015-12 including 18 male and 3 female; Control group,n=50 subjects without cardiovascular disease those were conifrmed by our hospital at the same period of time. Clinical and MRI examinations were conducted in all patients, the ifndings were compared between 2 groups. Results: Compared with control subjects, papillary musclehypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients had the main symptoms of shortness of breath, chest tightness and pain; associated with systolic murmur; ECG could be normal or with T wave inversion; cardiac MRI showed that 1/2 papillary muscle diameter>1.1cm. Blood levels of triglyceride, left atrial diameter, inter-ventricular septum thickness, the values of E/A and EDT were statistically different between 2 groups, allP<0.05. Conclusion: Clinical features of papillary muscle hypertrophic cardiomyopathy were lack of speciifcity, the morbidity and clinical signiifcance should be further investigated.

It is considered that the central nervous system (CNS) is an immunologically privileged organ, but its immunological privilege is not complete, and immunological rejection may also occurred after tissue transplantation. Neural stem cell (NSC) transplantation has developed a brand-new approach for the treatment of various CNS diseases. Despite the low immunogenicity of NSC, there are also troubles of immunological rejection. This article reviews the immunological characteristics of CNS, the mechanisms of immunological response and immunological rejection in CNS, as well as the problems of immunological rejection of NSC transplantation.

AIM: To examine the effects of monocyte-endothelium interaction on the expression of CD36 in monocytes and observe the functions of cytokines in this process. METHODS: The monocytes and endothelial cells were cultured alone or cocultured together to form different cell culture conditions. The level of M-CSF in culture medium was determined by enzyme linked immune sandwich assay(ELISA) technique, and the expression of CD36 in monocytes was determined by flow cytometry. RESULTS: The expression of CD36 in monocytes was low in monocytes cultured alone but increased significantly when monocytes and endothelial cells were cocultured(P

Obejective To study the effects of polysaccharide L01 from Laminaria on the expression and secretion of plasminogen activator inhibitor- 1 (PAI- 1) stimulated by adrenaline in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Methods With adrenaline added, human umbilical vein endothelial cell line ECV- 304 was exposed to different concentrations of polysaccharide L01 of Laminaria and cultured for 24, 48, and 72 hours respectively in vitro. The levels of PAI- 1 in cultured supernants were measured with enzyme- linked immunosorbent assay( ELISA) .Reverse transcriptase chain reaction( RT- PCR) was used to detect the expression of PAI- 1 messenger RNA( mRNA) in HUVEC, and the related products were examined by density scan and half- quantitative analysis after electrophoresis. Results Stimulated by 10 ? g/mL adrenaline for 48h and 72 h, the levels of PAI- 1 in cultured supernants increased significantly (P

Objective To understand the blood pressure variability (BPV) and the influencing factors through ambulatory blood pressure monitoring during hemodialysis (HD) in the end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients.Method Eighty-one ESRD patients on maintenancing HD for more than three months were enrolled into the study.The patients were with properly dry body weight.The blood pressure was monitored using dynamic blood pressure monitor around the HD.BPV was estimated with the coefficient of variation (CV) and standard deviation (SD) of the systolic blood pressure (SBP-CV,SBP-SD).Patients were divided into two groups according to the mean of SBP-CV:high SBPV group and low SBPV group.The possible influencing factors such as age,dialysis duration,ultrafitration volume,ultrafiltration/body weight,therapy of antihypertensive,electrolyte,nutrition state,metabolic bone disease indexes,inflammatory state and serum lipid state were analyzed and compared between the two groups.And multivariate stepwise regression analysis was made between the SBP-CV,SBP-SD and the above observational parameters.Results The average SBP-CV of the 81 patients was (8.12± 3.16)%,SBP-SD was (11.22±4.55) mm Hg.The proportion of hypertention and hypotention in high SBPV(SBP-CV≥8.12%) group (20.0%,25.7%) was higher than that in the low SBPV(SBP-CV <8.12%) group (8.7%,6.5%)(P =0.009).Serum high-sensitivity c-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were higher in high SBPV group than that in the low SBPV group[(7.19± 5.95) mg/L vs (3.35±2.78) mg/L,P =0.001 and (180.31±96.32) U/L vs (98.00±41.19) U/L,P =0.049].Serum creatinine and potassium were higher in the low SBPV group than that in the high SBPV group [(1015.83±276.20) μmol/L vs (893.63±216.61) μmol/L,P =0.034 and (5.27±0.78) mmol/L vs (4.80± 0.23) mmol/L,P =0.005].SBP-SD was positively correlated with hs-CRP (β =0.499,P < 0.01),SBP-CV was positively correlated with hs-CRP and dialysis vintage (β =0.464 and 0.211,P < 0.01 and P < 0.05) by the multivariate stepwise regression analysis.Conclusions The SBP-CV during HD is 8.12% in ESRD patients.Hypertention and hypotention are more often in the higher SBPV patients.SBPV is closely related to the serum hs-CRP.

Objective To investigate the role of activities of sympathetic nerve in the pathogenesis of shoulder-hand syndrome (SHS) by analyzing the hand sympathetic skin response (SSR) at the acute stage of SHS after stroke. Methods 50 stroke patients with SHS at the acute stage were assigned as SHS group, another 50 stroke patients without SHS as control group (N-SHS group) and 50 health volunteers as health group. Every patient was subjected to the detection of bilateral hand SSR. Results The detection rates of SSR in the SHS group and N-SHS group were significantly lower than that in the Health group (P<0.01). In comparison within the SHS group, the amplitude of SSR on the affected hand was apparently higher than on the healthy hand (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference in the SSR latencies in both hands ( P > 0 . 05 ) . In comparison with the health group , bilateral SSR latencies of the SHS group were longer than those of the health group (P<0.05) and bilateral SSR amplitudes were all lower than those of the health group (P<0.01). Conclusions The bilateral hand sympathetic skin responses could change at the acute stage of SHS after stroke, with possible presentations of central inhibition of sympathetic activity. The abnormality of SSR may be an early warning indicator in patients with hemiplegia after stroke complicated with SHS.

Objective To investigate the association between chromosome variations,abnormalities and male reproductive hor-mones level with spermatogenesis.Methods The chromosome karyotype,serum reproductive hormone including FSH,LH,T,PRL and E2,and semen were detected in 147 patients with male infertility or recurrent sponotaneous abortion.The results were per-formed the comparative analysis.Results Serum FSH,LH level and the incidence rate of azoospermia in the chromosome abnormal-ity group were significantly higher than those in the chromosome variation group and the normal group(P <0.05,P <0.01),serum T level was significantly lower than that in the chromosome variation group and the normal group(P <0.05).Serum FSH and the incidence rate of oligospermia in the Y chromosome variation group were significantly higher than those in the autosomal variation group(P <0.05).The incidence rate of azoospermia had no statistically significant difference between the Y chromosome variation and the autosomal variation group(P >0.05).Serum FSH,LH level and the incidence rate of azoospermia in the sex chromosome abnormality group were obviously higher than those in the autosomal abnormality group(P <0.05),the serum T level was signifi-cantly lower than that in the autosomal abnormality group(P <0.05).Conclusion The chromosome variation and abnormality are closely related with the reproductive hormones disorder and spermatogenetic function disorder.The obvious increase of serum FSH, LH level and obvious decrease of T level caused by sex chromosome variation and abnormality is one of the pathogenesis of oligo-spermia and azoospermia.
