Mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthase is the key enzyme of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation reaction. The down-regulation of the mitochondrial ATP synthase is a hallmark of most human carcinomas, which is the embodiment of the bioenergetic signature of cancer in the performance of the decreased oxidative phosphorylation and increased aerobic glycolysis. Combining with the bioenergetic signature of cancer, studies showed that mitochondrial ATP synthase and multidrug resistance and adverse prognosis of tumor were closely related. Its mechanisms are related to post-transcriptional regulation of the ATP synthase, the hypermethylation of the ATP synthase gene and the inhibitor peptide of the mitochondrial ATP synthase, called ATP synthase inhibitory factor 1 (IF1). In this review, we stress the biological characteristics of mitochondrial ATP synthase and the relationship between ATP synthase and multidrug resistance and prognosis of Malignant tumor, in order to find a new way for tumor therapy.

Objective: To evaluate different patterns for left ventricular configuration on ventricular systolic function in patients with primary hypertension by two-dimensional strain (2DS) echocardiography. Methods: Our research included in 2 groups: Control group,n=40 healthy volunteers, Primary hypertension group,n=70, based on left ventricular mass index, the patients were further divided into 2 subgroups as Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) subgroup, n=32 and Non-left ventricular hypertrophy (NLVH) subgroup,n=38. The peaks of systolic longitude strain (SSL) for left ventricular apical layers of subendocardium, midmyocardium and epicardium were compared among different groups. Results:①In Control group and LVH, NLVH subgroups, SSL in different myocardium layers were kept in gradient features as subendocardium > midmyocardium > epicardium.②Compared with Control group, NLVH and LVH subgroups showed decreased SSL of subendocardium, as in apical four chamber level: (-24.11 ± 3.52) % and (-22.78 ± 4.11) % vs (-27.49 ± 2.95) %, in apical two chamber level: (-22.79 ± 5.20) % and (-21.92 ± 4.88) % vs (-27.95 ± 3.13) %, and in apical long-axis level: (-20.07 ± 3.43)%and (-21.34 ± 3.64%)% vs (-27.24 ± 3.05) %, allP<0.05; while SSL in midmyocardium and epicardium were similar,P>0.05.③Compared with NLVH subgroup, LVH subgroup presented decreased SSL of long-axis, in midmyocardium (-17.77 ± 4.35) % vs (-21.73 ± 3.97) % and in epicardium (-14.25 ± 3.78) % vs (-18.27 ± 2.96) %, allP<0.05. The pearson correlation coefifcient calculated by 2 physicians at 2 different times showed that SSL of subendocardium wasr=0.876, of midmyocardium was r=0.838 and of epicardium was r=0.823, allP<0.05. Conclusion: 2DS may quantitatively evaluate the layered myocardial strain of left ventricle, it provided a non-invasive examination for early diagnosing and estimating the heart involvement with severity in patients of primary hypertension.

BACKGROUND:Toxic effects of excessive thyroid hormone on myocardium can not be ignored with the increased incidence of hyperthyroidism. As a quantitative marker of heart failure, brain natriuretic peptide has a good application prospect to estimate the changes of cardiac function and myocardial damage in hyperthyroid cardiomyopathy. OBJECTIVE:To explore the correlation of brain natriuretic peptide and cardiac function of rabbits with hyperthyroid cardiomyopathy exhibiting different left ventricular geometries. METHODS:Twenty New Zealand purebred rabbits were used in this study. Hyperthyroidism model was established by intraperitoneal injection of levothyroxine (45 μg/kg) for 4 weeks. The success of establishing model is defined upon the appearance of irritation, decreased body weight and increased appetite. Totaly 18 rats were successfuly established. The left ventricular data of hyperthyroidism rabbits were measured by conventional echocardiography. According to the classification of Ganauet al, the 18 hyperthyroidism rabbits were divided into two groups: concentric hypertrophy (n=7) and eccentric hypertrophy (n=11). In addition, ten rats, receiving intraperitoneal injection of 5 mL saline per day, were taken as the control group. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Plasma brain natriuretic peptide level of rabbits in the concentric hypertrophy and eccentric hypertrophy groups was obviously higher than that of the control group (alP < 0.01), and the level in the eccentric hypertrophy group was obviously higher than in the concentric hypertrophy group (P< 0.01). Compared with the control group, the average peak diastolic velocity of mitral ring was significantly lower in the concentric hypertrophy and eccentric hypertrophy groups (alP< 0.01), the average peak systolic velocity of mitral ring was also lower in the eccentric hypertrophy group (P < 0.01). The peak systolic and diastolic velocity had a negative correlation with brain natriuretic peptide (alP < 0.01). Experimental findings indicate that brain natriuretic peptide is a sensitive indicator to reflect the cardiac function and myocardial damage in rabbits with hyperthyroid cardiomyopathy, exhibiting different left ventricular geomeies.
