Endogenous hydrogen sulfide (H_2S) is to third found gaseous transmitter.In cardiovascular system, H_2S is produced endogenously by cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE)and plays an important role in the regulation of cardiovascular physiologic function and patho physiological processes.The CSE/H_2S system has a variety of biological effects in the cardiovascular system, such as inducing vasorelaxation,decreases blood pressure,inhibiting vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and inducing anti-oxidant.It is also concerned with variety of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipemia, atherosclerosis,coronary artery disease and so on.We summarize the biochemical characteristics and the physiological functions of endogenous H_2S and its patho physiological effects in cardiovascular diseases.

0.05). Significant increment of aggregation piles right after flights was shown in both groups (p0.05).

Objective The purpose of the experiment is to research the effects of different kind of anti-platelet drugs and their combinations in prevention of vascular restenosis after ballon-injury, and to evaluate the best way of clinical utility of anti-platelet drugs.Methods Fifty-six male New Zealand White Rabbits were randomly assigned to 3 groups: the control group (ML) , the model group (M) , the experimental group.The experimental group was divided to 5 subgroups, the aspirin group (A), the cilostazol group (B) , the clopidogrel group (C), the aspirin plus cilostazol group (A + B) , and the aspirin plus colopidogrel group (A + C).Femoral artery stenosis model was induced by halloon injury except the control group.The rabbits were fed different drugs 3 days before operation except the normal group and the model group.On the 14th day after operation, the rabbits were sacrificed and the iliofemoral arteries were removed and made to the pathological section.We measured the internal elastic lamina, external elastic lamiua and luminal areas measured.Then calculate the area of intima, media and the ratio of intima vs.media.Results ①There is no endothelium hyperplasia in control group.Compared with the control group, we observed endothelium hyperplasia in both model group and the experimental groups.Compared with the model group, endothelium hyperplasia in all experimental groups is in a lower degree;② Cilostazol alone works better than aspirin alone and clopidogrel alone in prevention of vascular restenosis after ballon-injury.Clopidogrel combined with aspirin and cilostazol combined with aspirin both work better than aspirin alone in prevention of vascular restenosis after ballon-injury.There is no apparent difference between the effect of clopidogrel combined with aspirin and cilostazol combined with aspirin.Conclusions ① Different anti-platelet drugs and different combinations of them can prevent the happening of vascular restenosis after ballon-injury.② Cilostazol works better than aspirin and clopidogrel in prevention the happening of vascular restenosis after ballon-injury, and combination of anti-platelet drugs which contains cilostazol works better than other way of combination of anti-platelet drugs.③ Cilostazol and combination of anti-platelet drugs which contains cilostazol is potential useful in clinical uses to prevent restenosis after PTA.

BACKGROUND: Endothelial progenitor calls are the cells that can form new blood vessels in the way of angiogenesis in the body,which updates the conventional theory of angiogenesis, vascular damage and repair after birth and provides new ideas for research and treatment of ischemic diseases.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of dog umbilical cord blood endothelial progenitor call (UCB-EPC) transplantation on angiogenesis after myocardial infarction.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: An in vivo cytological experiment was performed at the Laboratory Center of Xinhua Hospital between May 2006 and March 2007.MATERIALS: One full-term pregnant hybrid dog was included for preparation of UCB-EPCs. Thirty-six adult dogs were randomly divided into a cell transplantation group (n = 18) and a model control group (n = 18).METHODS: Acute myocardial infarction model was established in each group by ligation of antedor descending coronary artery.In the cell transplantation group, 2 mL physiological saline containing 5×10<'6> BrdU-labeled EPCs was injected into the coronary artery, while in the model control group, simple physiological saline of the same amount was given. At 1,4, and 8 weeks after transplantation, dogs were sacrificed for harvesting myocardial tissue.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Myocardial infarction was confirmed by hematoxylin-eosin staining. Myocardial angiogenesis was observed by BrdU immunohistochemical staining. The number of infarcted myocardial vessels was calculated by yon Willebrand (vW) factor staining.RESULTS: There was plenty of scar tissue, flbroblasts, and small vessels in the myocardial infarction region. In the cell transplantation group, brown yellow particles (BrdU-positive expression) appeared in some nuclei in small vessels from infarcted myocardium. Newly formed vessels were not found in the model control group. In the cell transplantation group, brown yellow particles (vW factor-positive expression) appeared in the cytoplasm of the vascular endothelial cells in the myocardial ischemia and infarction regions, vW factors were not expressed in the model control group. At 1, 4, and 8 weeks after myocardial infarction,there was no significant difference in vessel counts no matter in myocardial ischemia region or in myocardial infarction region between the call transplantation and model control groups.CONCLUSION: EPCs derived from UCB of pregnant dog can participate in the formation of blood vessels but can not promote angiogenesis after acute myocardial infarction.

Background In recent years, due to the increasing number of e-cigarette users, the health problems caused by e-cigarettes are attracting people's attention. Objective This study is designed to analyze the characteristics of e-cigarette-related research literature, research trends, and its toxicity from 2010 to 2020 through bibliometric analysis to provide a reference for studies related to the health effects of e-cigarettes. Methods The studies related to e-cigarettes in the Web of Science were retrieved, and the functions of "Creating citation report" and "Analyzing retrieval results" provided by Web of Science were used to conduct statistical analysis on publication time, literature type, publication source, country/region, research interests, research institution, etc. With the help of the knowledge function of CiteSpace V5.7, author collaboration, organization cooperation, keyword co-occurrence and keyword emergence, and reference co-citation were visualized. Results A total of 3094 studies related to health risks of e-cigarettes (public health) wereretrieved from 2010 to 2020, and the number of articles published between 2018 and 2020 accounted for 54.7% of total number. The top research institutions were from the United States (68.0%), the United Kingdom (7.6%), and Canada (6.1%). The most published author is King BA (67). The journal that published the most relevant studies was Nicotine Tobacco Research (536). The hot topics of e-cigarette research included "socioeconomic patterning," "multiple healthy behaviors," "expressive suppression emotion regulation strategies," "smoking cessation intervention studies" and "computer-delivered brief intervention". The burst intensity of keywords "cigarette smoking" was the highest, reaching 24.2. Between 2010 and 2020, the keywords "Nicotine dependence" and "Disease" emerged for the longest period of five years. "Policy" was the latest high-frequency word. The literature "Levels of selected carcinogens and toxicants in vapour from electronic cigarettes" was cited for the highest frequency, totaling 266 times. Conclusion The number of articles published has notably increased in 2018-2020, suggesting that researchers are paying attention to the health risks of e-cigarettes worldwide. The United States leads the world in the research of e-cigarette health risks. The future research direction will be focused on e-cigarette policy.
