Objective To observe the level of circulating CD31 +/CD42b-endothelial microparticles in patients with ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI),and discuss the correlation between CD31 +/CD42b-and traditional myocardial injury index.Methods A total of 22 healthy subjects and 44 patients with angiographically confirmed coronary atherosclerotic lesions collected from January 2010 to December 2010 were studied prospectively.The patients were divided into SAP (stable angina pectoris,Canadian Cardiovascular Society,CCS Ⅱ to Ⅲ ) group (n =22) and STEMI group (n =22).The level of circulating CD31 +/CD42b-endothelial microparticles was detected by flow cytometric device after admission; creatine kinase (CK) and its isoenzymes (CK-MB) were detected by using biochemical analyzer; C-reactive protein was determined by a highly sensitive latex-enhanced turbidimetric immunoassay with a low detection limit of 0.25 mg/dl (IMMAGE,Beckman Coulter; Reagent from Orion Diagn Co.Ltd.,Vantaa,Finland).Cardiac troponin I was measured by chemiluminescence immunoassay (ACCESS2 from Beckman Coulter).In 22 STEMI patients,blood sample was taken not only after admission but subsequently at 4-hour intervals during the first 48 hours.Peak levels of myocardial enzymes after injury ( creatine kinase,CK; creatine kinase MB isoenzyme,CK-MB; c troponins I,cTnI) and high sensitive C reactive protein (hs-CRP) values were determined.The correlation between circulating level of CD31 +/CD42b(-) and peak levels of myocardial biomarkers after injury were analyzed.Results The endothelial micro-particles were significantly higher in STEMI patients than those in either SAP group or normal group ( P < 0.01 ),whereas there was no difference between the latter two groups.In STEMI patients studied in these cross sectional study,circulating CD31 +/CD42b-microparticles were positively correlated with peak level of myocardial biomarkers after injury.Moreover,the correlations between myocardial biomarkers after injury ( CK,CK-MB,cTnl and hs-CRP) and circulating CD31 +/CD42b-microparticles were r =0.489,P =0.021; r =0.501,P=0.018; r=0.491,P=0.02; r=0.612,P=0.002.Conclusions The level of circulating blood CD31 +/CD42b-endothelial micro-particle was expected to become a predictive marker in STEMI.

The validity of (99m)Tc-YIGSR, a novel receptor radio-tracer, in imaging the Ehrlich ascites tumor was evaluated. YIGSR, a pentapeptide of laminin, was labeled with (99m)Tc by using a bifunctional chelator S-Acetly-NH(3)-MAG(3). The MIBI was labeled with (99m)Tc by following the kit instruction. The mice of tumor group were intravenously injected 1-2 mCi of (99m)Tc-YIGSR or (99m)Tc-MIBI via caudal vein, immobilized and imaged under a Gamma camera. The same procedure was performed in mice of blockade group, in which the unlabeled YIGSR was previously injected to block the receptor-recognition sites, and inflammation group serving as control. The reverse-phase Sep-Pak C(18) chromatogram was found to have an essentially complete conjugation between YIGSR and S-Acetly-NH(3)-MAG(3). The conjugated YIGSR could be radio-labeled successfully with (99m)Tc at room temperature and neutral pH, with a radio-labeling yield of 62%. Without the chelator S-Acetly-NH(3)-MAG(3), the YIGSR was labeled with (99m)Tc at an efficiency of 4%. The imagological study revealed obvious tumor accumulation of (99m)Tc-YIGSR 15 min after the injection, and the uptake peaked after 3 h with a tumor-to-muscle ratio (T/M) of 11.36. The radio-tracer was slowly cleared up and resulted in a T/M of 3.01 at the 8th h after the injection. As for blocked group, the tumor uptake of radiotracer was significantly lower, with the highest T/M being 4.61 after 3 h and 0.89 after 8 h. The T/M was 3.72 at the 3rd h and 1.29 at the 8th h after the (99m)Tc-YIGSR injection in the inflammatory group. The T/M was significantly higher in tumor group than in inflammatory group or control group (P<0.001). In the 99mTc-MIBI group, the T/M was 1.40 at the 3rd h and 0.55 at the 8th h after the injection, which showed a significant difference as compared with (99m)Tc-YIGSR (P<0.001). It is concluded that YIGSR can be successfully radiolabelled by using S-Acetly-NH(3)-MAG(3). (99m)Tc-YIGSR has many advantages in tumor imaging, such as quick and clear visualization, high sensitivity and specificity, and satisfactory target/non-target ratio (N/NT). It promises to be tumor radio-tracer.

A method was established for identifying the chemical components of a traditional Chinese medicinal formula Baihe Zhimu Tang and its single herbs by combining high performance liquid chromatography and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry(HPLC-ESI-MS). The molecular ions of compounds in both negative and positive modes were observed for molecule mass information, and the potential structures were identified by attentive studying on the mass spectra of compounds and comparing with Reference data and some of standards. The results show that in MS detection, saponins in Baihe Zhimu Tang and its single herbs are easily to become positive ions in the electrospray ionization procedure, and they have strong responses, but the mass spectrometric signals of flavonoids and phenolic glucosides are week. 38 compounds in Baihe Zhimu Tang including 3 flavonoids, 4 phenolic glucosides and 31 saponins were identified through analyzing and comparing the total ion chromatograms(TIC) and mass spectra of Baihe Zhimu Tang and its single herbs. This method has the advantages of simple operation, rapid measurement and it is a powerful tool for identification of chemical components in Baihe Zhimu Tang.

Objective To investigate the dynamic changes of MDA, NO, SOD and pathologic changes of the lung and kidneyduring repefusion after haemorrhagic shock in rabbits, and to study the protective effects of edaravone during thecourse.Method Totally 29 beparinized (3 mg/kg) rabbits were randomly divided into three groups:tho sham-operatedcontrol group (group C, n = 7), the haemorrhagic shock group (group I/R, n = 10), and the haemorrhagicshock group with edaravone infusion (group I/R-edaravone, n = 12). Rabbits in the latter two groups were bledfrom left arteria cmralis in 10 minutes with MAP maintained at 40 mmHg for 60 minutes, and then group I/R-edar-avone was given edaravone intravenously. After that, resuscitation began:all blood loss was replaced with normalsaline within 60 minutes with MAP at the end ≥ 70% MAP before haemorrhagic shock. Edaravone was reinjectedat 10 hours after shock.All rabbits were killed at 20 h after reperfusion.Plasma nitric oxide(NO), malonyldialde-hyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase(SOD) in every group were measured before shock,60 minutes after shockaad 1 h, 5 h and 20 h after reperfusien. Part of the right lung and the right kidney tissues were taken from everyrabbit for pathologic examnation after sacrifice.Results There was no significant difference in MDA,NO aad SOD among three groups before shock. A higherlevel of MDA (5.35±0.29 μmol/L), NO(27.75 ±2.88 μmol/L)and lower serum concentration of SOD(194.58±14.42U/ml)could be found in group I/R during haemorrhagic shock,as compared to group C(4.44±0.59 μmol/L,25.01±4.95μmol/L,210.86±24.54U/ml,respectively,P<0.01).At 20 hours after resuscitation,MDA and NO contents continued to increase(5.69±0.24 μmol/L and 28.01±3.10 μmol/L respectively,P<0.05)while SOD contents kept decreasing(151.83±9.36 U/ml,P<0.05)in group I/R.Comparing to group I/R,group I/R-edaravone had significant lower level of MDA(3.48±0.23 μmol/L,P<0.01)and higher concentration of SOD(195.10±11.87U/ml,P<0.01).Edaravone attenuated the pathologic changes in the lung and kidney.Conclusions Edaravone could effectively protect vital organs from reperfusion injury caused by free radicals following haemorrhagic shock by reducing plasma levels of MDA,NO and increasing levels of SOD.
