0.05) and systolic velocity of regional myocardium, the difference between Ven and Vep, and mitral valve annulus have improved during the follow up study( P

Objective To investigate the value of Doppl er tissue imaging (DTI) in detecting chronic ischemic myocardium before and after gene transfer. Methods An Ameroid constrictor was placed around the left circumflex artery of each open-chest pig. After 4 weeks, groupⅠandⅡwere intramyocardially administrated recombinant adenovirus coding for the vascular endothelial growth factors(Ad.VEGF-B) or phosphate buffer(PB). After 4 weeks, their hearts were removed for pathological investigation. Color M-mode, two-dimensional and spectrum DTI of lateral-posterior wall before operation, 2 weeks and 4 weeks after Ameroid placement, 2 weeks and 4 weeks after administration were studied. Results Color of normal myocardium was bright, filling and distinct stratified, and of ischemic myocardium faint, local lost and cloudy stratified. After gene transfer, color filling became better and stratification distinct. Normal V S of apical four chamber view (AP-4CV) was greater than that of left ventricular papillary muscle level short axis view (LVPM-SAM)(P

Objective To compare the effects of continuous subcutaneous insulin injection(CSII) and multiple subcutaneous insulin injection(MSII) on hyperglycemia in 60 elderly patients(30 in each group). Methods For the baseline parameters including HbA1c, fasting blood glucose(BG), average BG at the second hour of three postprandial (APBG) and bedtime BGs, only fasting BG level in CSII group was markedly higher than that in MSII group. Results On the third day of post insulin therapy for two groups(CSII vs MSII), the fasting BG 〔(6 6?1 2) vs (8 8?2 1)mmol/L, P

Objective: To establish porcine chronic ischemic myocardium model and to evaluate ultrasonic integrated backscatter(IBS) and Doppler tissue imaging(DTI) in detecting this model. Methods: An Ameroid constrictor was placed around the porcine proximal left circumflex artery. The calibrated average image intensity (%AⅡ), cyclic variation of IBS (CVIB), the subendo-epicardical gradient index (TGI) and the spectrum of left ventricular papillary muscle level short axis view (LVPM-SAM) and apical four chamber view (AP-4CV) were measured at normal state, 2 w, 4 w, 6 w and 8 w after Ameroid placement. Results: Normal %AⅡ, CVIB and TGI were 2.29?0.32,(9.69?2.22)dB and 0.22? 0.08 respectively. After Ameroid placement, the %AII increased gradually, the CVIB decreased gradually, and the decrease was higher in subepicardium than that in subendocardium. The most obvious decrease of TGI occurred from 2 w to 4 w after Ameroid placement and became zero at 8 w(P

Objective To observe the localization and distribution of follicle stimulating hormone receptor(FSHR) in the rat submandibular gland and stomach. Methods Immunohistochemical SABC method was used in the experiment. Results The serous glandular cells,granular convoluted epithelial cells and all other duct epithelial cells in the submandibular gland and the parietal cells of gastric gland showed FSHR positive immunoreactivity.The positive substance was distributed in the cytoplasm with negative nuclei.Conclusion The function of rat submandibular gland and gastric gland might be regulated by follicle stimulating hormone(FSH) through FSHR.

Objective To investigate the correlation between serum tumor markers levels with the disease condition activity and the tumor occurrence in the patients with rheumatoid arthritis(RA).Methods Serum tumor marker CA199,CA153 levels were de-tected in 35 patients with RA (RA group)and 31 healthy controls(normal control group).ESR and CRP were examined and the disease activity (DA)was assessed by the DAS28 score in the RA group.The serum tumor markers levels and the positive rates were compared between the RA group and the normal control group.The correlation between the serum tumor markers levels with ESR,CRP and DAS28 score was analyzed.Results Serum levels and positives rate of CA199,CA153 in the RA group were higher than those in the control group(P <0.05).The serum CA153 level had a positive correlation with the ESR,CRP and DAS28 score in the RA group(P <0.05),but the serum CA199 level had no significant correlation with them.Conclusion The serum levels and positive rates of CA199 and CA199 could be increased in the patients with RA,moreover the increase of serum CA153 level is corre-lated with DA of RA.Therefore the serum tumor marker CA153 level may be used as one of reference indexes for evaluating the DA in the patients with RA.

Objective To observe the perfusion changes of porcine chronic ischemic myocardium before and after gene transfer by myocardial contrast. Methods Ten normal pigs were divided into two groups: groupⅠfor gene transfer(6 pigs) and groupⅡ for control(4 pigs). Myocardial contrasts were performed respectively in basic status, 4 weeks after an Ameroid constrictor was placed around the proximal left circumflex artery (LCX) and another 4 weeks after the replication deficient recombinant adenovirus coding for the vascular endothelial growth factors (Ad. VEGF)was administrated into the regional ischemic myocardium in groupⅠ, and the phosphate buffer(PB) was administrated into similar situs in groupⅡ. The perfusion of above mentioned different blood supply myocardium was observed with HP Sonos 5500 and S4 transducer by myocardial contrast. Results The normal left ventricular myocardial wall was uniformly thick and its perfusion was bright and well filling. The chronic ischemic myocardium was thinned and its echo showed the contrast defect. The echo of the myocardium for gene transfer returned to good, but the echo of the control group remained bad including some bright bits and pieces. Conclusions The blood supply of the porcine chronic ischemic myocardium was ameliorated by gene transfer. The perfusion characters of the different blood supply myocardium can objectively reflect the blood supply status of the myocardium.

Objective To investigate integrated backscatter (IBS) combining with dobutamine stress in detecting chronic ischemic myocardium before and after gene transfer.Methods An Ameroid constrictor was placed around the left circumflex artery of each open chest pig.After 4 weeks,groupⅠandⅡwere intramyocardially injected recombinant adenovirus coding for the vascular endothelial growth factors or phosptat buffer.After another 4 weeks,pathological investigation of their hearts were performed.The calibrated average image intensity (%AII),cyclic variation of integrated backscatter (CVIB) and the subendo epicardical gradient index (TGI) of lateral posterior wall in basic or 10 ?g?kg -1 ?min -1 dobutamine stress state at normal state,2 weeks and 4 weeks after Ameroid placement,2 weeks and 4 weeks after injection were measured.Results During dobutamine stress,CVIB of control group at normal state and 2 weeks,4 weeks after placing Ameroid increased significantly(P 0.05 ).The TGI increased significantly in normal state and at 2 weeks (P

0.05).The infection rate in first intermediate host(snails), second intermediate host(crabs) and animal reservoir hosts was 0.05%(9/19 368), 31.1%(15 627/50 313) and 11.9%(52/438) respectively.Evidently, natural nidi for Paragonimus spp.still exist in Ningbo City.

Objective To explore the ischemic myocardial perfusion and viability.Methods Ten successful pigs with myocardial infarction model underwent MRI first-pass myocardial perfusion examinations preoperatively and 24 hours,72 hours and one week postoperation.After MRI examinations,the experimental pigs were executed and the samples underwent TTC staining and pathological examination.Results The preoperative myocardial perfusion in the all of the 10 pigs was nomal,but there were myocardial perfusion decrease and defects in 8 experimental pigs after operation,the perfusion curves in the area with perfusion defects had no obvious peak,but there was gradual increase in the end of the performance.The perfusion peak of the area with perfusion decrease was lower than that of normal inferior and lateral myocardial wall(P＜0.05) and the peak perfusion time was delayed compared with that of normal inferior and lateral myocardial wall (P＜0.05).There was myocardial necrosis in the perfusion defects areas that was certified by TTC staining and pathological examination.The intersititial edema and myocardial degeneration could be seen in the perfusion reduced areas.Conclusion MRI fist-pass myocardial perfusion imaging combined with perfusion curve analysis can evaluate the perfusion changes of the regional myocardial microcirculation.
