Objective: To observe the effect of the intravenous infusion of vasostatin-2 (VS-2) on hemodynamics in experimental rats with spontaneous hypertension (SH).
Methods: A total of 36 (14-16) weeks male SH rats with the mean body weight at (160-250) g were randomly divided into 6 groups:①Control group, the rats received normal saline (100μl/kg),②Catestatin (20μg/kg) group,③VS-2 (5μg/kg) group,④VS-2 (10μg/kg) group,⑤VS-2 (20μg/kg) group and⑥VS-2 (40μg/kg) group. n=6 in each group. The average blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR) and barorelfex sensitivity (BRS) were monitored and compared upon VS-2 treatment and between VS-2 and catestatin treatments in conscious and freelance rats.
Results: Compared with prior treatment, VS-2 (20μg/kg) and VS-2 (40μg/kg) could obviously decrease the HR, BP and BRS in SH rats. In VS-2 (20μg/kg) group, HR by bpm was (341.3 ± 19.3) vs (365.5 ± 25.5), BP by mmHg was (133.0 ± 8.9) vs (147.5 ± 11.2) and BRS by ms/mmHg was (0.52 ± 0.18) vs (0.37 ± 0.12);in VS-2 (40μg/kg) group, HR was (348.8 ± 30.8) vs (374.5 ± 34.8), BP was (131.5 ± 9.3) vs (151.7 ± 10.8) and BRS was (0.53 ± 0.05) vs (0.38 ± 0.03), all P<0.01. Catestatin treatment could also decrease the HR as (318.7 ± 13.4) vs (365.5 ± 25.5), BP as (119.7 ± 7.3) vs (147.5 ± 11.2) and BRS as (0.58 ± 0.15) vs (0.35 ± 0.11), all P<0.01. Compared with catestatin (20μg/kg), the rats received VS-2 (20μg/kg) had the weaker reduction of HR as (318.7 ± 13.4) vs (341.3 ± 19.3), BP as (119.7 ± 7.3) vs (133.0 ± 8.9), all P<0.01, while BRS was similar as (0.58 ± 0.15) vs (0.52 ± 0.18), P>0.05.
Conclusion: Intravenous infusion of VS-2 may obviously affect HR, BP and BRS in experimental SH rats;compared with the same dosage of catestatin, VS-2 had the weaker reduction of HR, BP and BRS.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between lipid control level and in-stent restenosis (ISR) in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: A total of 211 coronary artery disease (CAD) patients who received primary PCI in our hospital from 2012-01 to 2012-12 were studied. All the patients took oral dual anti-platelet therapy and statins routinely, and they received coronary angiography (CAG) re-examination at (3-12) months after PCI. According to CAG ifndings, the patients were divided into 2 groups: ISR group,n=25 and Non-ISR group,n=186. Blood levels of TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C were detected and compared before primary PCI and after CAG re-examination between 2 groups. Results: The baseline information such as age, gender, hypertension, family history of CAD, pre-operative diagnosis of coronary syndrome, smoking and drinking conditions were similar between 2 group,P>0.05; the pre-operative TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C were similar between 2 group,P>0.05. CAD patients combining with diabetes mellitus (DM) in ISR group (36.0%) was higher than that in Non-ISR group (17.7%),P=0. 03. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that at post PCI, no TC reduction (OR=1.07, 95% CI 0.38-2.62,P=0.04), LDL-C ≥ 1.8 mmol/L or the reduction less than 50% (OR=11.33, 95% CI 3.62-35.52,P<0.01), combining with DM (OR=3.00,95% CI 1.04-8.67,P=0.04) were positively related to ISR. Conclusion: Without TC reduction and nonstandard LDL-C level were the risk factors of ISR occurrence in CAD patients after PCI, DM complication may signiifcantly increase the risk of ISR.

database until 2015-01, and all randomized controlled trials (RCT) upon (RVS) pacing and (RVA) pacing in Chinese population were enrolled. According to Cochrane Handbook 5.0.2 quality evaluation criteria, the publications were selected by 2 independent researchers and Meta-analysis was conducted with RevMan5.0 software.
Results: A total of 16 RCT articles including 1199 patients were enrolled in this study. The research was divided into 2 groups: RVS group,n=602 and RVA group,n=597. Meta-analysis indicated that the following indexes in RVS group were better than those in RVA group: the differences between post-and pre-operation for the combination value in LVEF (MD=1.90, 95% CI 0.75-3.05,P=0.001), stroke volume (MD=7.08, 95% CI 2.39-11.76,P=0.003), QRS wave width (MD=29.13, 95% CI 5.71-52.54,P=0.01), LVESV (MD=2.04, 95% CI -4.22 to 8.31,P<0.00001), LVEDV (MD=2.64, 95% CI 1.80-3.49, P<0.00001), BNP (MD=68.00, 95% CI 57.57-78.43,P<0.00001), inter ventricular septum and left ventricular posterior wall motion delay time (SPWMD) (MD=22.68, 95% CI 16.91-28.45,P<0.00001), E/A (MD=0.49, 95% CI 0.41-0.57, P<0.00001), LRVPEI (MD=14.06, 95% CI 12.36-15.75,P<0.00001), resistance of electrode (MD=-67.02, 95% CI -119.96 to -14.08,P=0.01) and pacing threshold (MD=0.09, 95% CI 0.00-0.18,P=0.04). The time of operation in RVS group was longer than that in RVA group, (MD=-11.76, 95% CI -14.69 to -8.82,P<0.00001). The differences between post- and pre-operation in LVEDD, Tei index and X-ray exposure time were similar between 2 groups,P>0.05.
Conclusion: RVS is a relatively feasible pacing method in Chinese population.
