BACKGROUND:Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cels have rich sources that are easily obtained, which can be used to treat acute myocardial infarction. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the therapeutic effect of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cel transplantation on acute myocardial infarction in rats. METHODS:Rat models of acute myocardial infarction were made and subjected to adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cel transplantation in comparison with model and control (sham operation) groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Echocardiography findings showed significant improvement in the left ventricular end-systolic diameter, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter and ejection fraction in the cel transplantation group compared with the model group (P < 0.05). Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that myocardial infarction was evident in the model group, in which, there were rarely viable myocardial tissues and few vessels in the infarcted region, but in the cel transplantation group, there were evident survived myocardial tissues and transplanted cels. The percentage of infarct size was significantly lower in the cel transplantation group than the model group (P < 0.05). Immunohistochemical staining showed that adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cels were able to survive in the infarcted myocardial tissues, and the expression of cardiac troponin T in the cel transplantation group was significantly higher than that in the model group (P < 0.05). Experimental data show that adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cel transplantation can protect the myocardial tissues after myocardial infarction, and effectively improve the myocardial function.

Objective To explore the impact of high‐load atorvastatin on T cell subsets in patients with unstable angina (UA) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) .Methods One hundred and eighty patients with UA were randomly divided into high‐load atorvastatin group ,ordinary‐load atorvastatin group and routine group ,60 cases in each group .The ratios of CD4+ T cell , CD8+ T cell and the frequencies of CD4+ CD25+ Treg were detected in 3 groups 1 day before PCI and 1 week ,1 month and 6 months after PCI by flow cytometry analysis .Results Different doses of atorvastatin reduced the ratio of CD4+ T cells and in‐creased the ratio of CD8+ T cells and also the frequencies of CD4+ CD25+ Treg after PCI for 1 week ,1 month and 6 months .The longer the time to take atorvastatin ,the more obvious the effect was(P<0 .05) .The ratios of CD4+ ,CD8+ T cells and the frequen‐cies of CD4+CD25+ Treg after PCI for 1 month and 6 months in high‐load atorvastatin showed significant difference compared with those in ordinary‐load atorvastatin group and routine group(P<0 .05) .Conclusion Atorvastatin could regulate the balance of T cell subsets in patients with UA ,and thus it may reduce the UA onset and the treatment effect of high‐load atorvastatin is more sig‐nificant .

Objective To investigate the value of histone deacetylase 3(HDAC3)in evaluating the risk of slow/no reflow in AMI patients after PCI.Methods A total of 280 AMI patients undergo-ing PCI in our hospital from June 2020 to June 2022 were recruited,and according to TIMI blood flow grading,they were divided into slow/no reflow group(TIMI≤grade 11,n=54)and normal flow group(TIMI>grade Ⅱ,n=226).The demographic characteristics,underlying diseases,baseline data at admission,and preoperative results of coronary angiography and laboratory tests were compared between the two groups.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the influencing factors for slow/no reflow in AMI patients after PCI,and ROC curve was drawn to analyze the predictive value of related indicators for slow/no reflow.Results Obvi-ously larger proportions of smoking history and Killip grade Ⅱ,higher heart rate,longer reperfu-sion time,and higher serum levels of LDL-C,NLR,D-D and HDAC3 were observed in the slow/no reflow group than the normal flow group(P<0.05,P<0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that reperfusion time,NLR and HDAC3 were influencing factors for slow/no reflow in AMI patients after PCI(P<0.05,P<0.01).The AUC value of reperfusion time+NLR in predicting the slow/no reflow after PCI in AMI patients was 0.798(95%CI:0.664-0.922,P=0.002),with a sensitivity and specificity of 0.87 and 0.73,respectively.And when serum HDAC3 level was combined in the prediction,the AUC value was 0.903(95%CI:0.790-0.922,P<0.01),with a sensitivity and specificity of 0.93 and 0.84,respectively.Conclusion Preoperative HDAC3 level is an influencing factor for slow/no reflow in AMI patients after PCI.Based on reperfusion time and NLR,combination of the 3 indicators can provide additional predictive value for slow/no reflow in these patients.
