BACKGROUND:Stem cel transplantation is a promising strategy for treatment of ischemic heart diseases, which has obtained great achievements in recent years. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical trends of stem cel therapy for ischemic heart diseases reported from 2001 to 2015 in Medline, CNKI, Wanfang, ClinicalTrials.gov and Chinese Clinical Trial Register. METHODS:The relevant articles addressing stem cel therapy for ischemic heart diseases were retrieved using the keywords of “stem cel transplantation” and “ischemic heart disease” in Chinese and English in Medline, CNKI, Wanfang, ClinicalTrials.gov and Chinese Clinical Trial Register folowed by statistical analysis. The retrieval time was from 2001 to 2015, including 2001-2005, 2006-2010 and 2011-2015. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: In Medline database, there were 219 clinical studies about stem cel therapy for ischemic heart disease published from 2001 to 2015, and the number of retrieved articles was most from 2006 to 2010, and decreased from 2011 to 2015. In CNKI and Wanfang databases, the number of relevant articles which had a similar trend with that in the Medline database decreased remarkably after 2011. In ClinicalTrials.gov, there were 63 clinical trials about stem cel therapy for ischemic heart disease, most of which were registered from 2006 to 2015 and came from Europe and North America. In Chinese Clinical Trial Register, there was no clinical trial about stem cel therapy for ischemic heart disease, which may result from the strict management in China.

The degradation kinetics of chlorogenic acid (5-CQA), cryptochlorogenic acid (4-CQA), and neochlorogenic acid (3-CQA) in aqueous solution at 37 degrees C and different pH values (7.05, 7.96, 9.25) were investigated in the present work. The results indicated that 3-, 4- and 5-CQA tended to remain stable in acidic pH circumstance, and unstable in neutral and alkaline pH circumstance. With the increase of the alkalinity, the degradation of 3-, 4- and 5-CQA was increased leading to a less amount of total CQA and was satisfactorily described by the Weibull equation. Meanwhile, caffeic acid was not detected after the degradation of CQA. Moreover, the degradation of 3-CQA and 5-CQA tended to be converted to 4-CQA, and the degradation of 4-CQA tended to be converted to 3-CQA rather than 5-CQA. The comparison of the degradation kinetics parameters of 3-, 4- and 5-CQA at neutral and alkaline pH values showed that the orders of the rate constant (k) values were 4-CQA > 3-CQA > 5-CQA, while the orders of the degradation half life (t½) values were 4-CQA < 3-CQA < 5-CQA, indicating the orders of the stabilities of 3-, 4- and 5-CQA at 37 degrees C and neutral and alkaline pH values were 4-CQA < 3-CQA < 5-CQA.

Objective To assess the characteristics of heart rate turbulencer (HRT) in elderly patients with decreased left ventricular diastolie function.Methods 40 patients were divided into two groups:20 patients with enlarged left atrium and 20 patients without enlarged left atrium.20 healthy people were selected as controls. Turbu1ence onset (TO) and turbulence slope (TS) were measured,and correlation was analyzed between TO,TS and the E/A,index of Macruz and heart rate variability (HRV).Results TO was higher (P<0.05) and TS was lower in patients (P<0.01),TO was higber in patients with enlarged left atrium than in with out enlarged lef atrium people (P<0.05) and TS was lower (P<0.01).TO was positively (P<0.01) and TS Was negatively (P<0.05),correlated with the index of Macruz.TO Was negatively (P<0.05) and TS was positively (P<0.05) related to SDNN and SDANN.Conclusion HRT can be used as a potential risk predictor in decreased left ventricular diastolic function patients.

AIM: To investigate the effect of ligustrazine (Lig) on cerebral injury in LPS-induced septic shock rats and to explore the underlying mechanism.METHODS: Wistar rats (n =48) were randomly divided into control group, LPS group and LPS +Lig treatment group.The rats in LPS group were randomly divided into 2 subgroups at time points of 6 h and 12 h.After ligustrazine treatment, the venous blood was collected by removal of eyeballs to detect the con-centration of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) using ELISA.The nitric oxide (NO) concentration in the homogenate of brain tissues was examined.The apoptosis in the hippocampus was analyzed by TUNEL staining.The protein expression of Bax and Bcl-2 was determined by Western blot.RESULTS: Ligustrazine inhibited the elevation of NSE and NO concentrations in LPS-induced septic shock rats.Furthermore, ligustrazine administration also attenuated LPS-induced increase in Bax ex-pression and decrease in Bcl-2 expression.CONCLUSION: Ligustrazine decreases the concentration of NSE and NO, and attenuates cerebral injury in LPS-induced septic shock rats.These effects may be related to the regulation of Bax and Bcl-2 expression.

Objective:To investigate the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) in papillary thyroid carcinoma and their relationship to cervical lymph metastases.Method:In this study, the expressions of COX-2 and VEGF-C were examined by immunohistochemistry in papillary thyroid carcinoma tissues of 40 patients, and analysis was performed on the correlation of cervical lymph metastases with COX-2 and VEGF-C expression.Result:Positive expressions of COX-2 and VEGF-C were 70.0%(28/40)and 75.0%(30/40)respectively in papillary thyroid carcinoma. The positive rates of COX-2 and VEGF-C expression were 80.8%(21/26)and 84.6%(22/26)respectively in patients with cervical lymph metastases, and 50.0%(7/14)and 57.1%(8/14)respectively in patients without cervical lymph metastases, with a statistically significant difference between two groups(P<0.05, all). COX-2 was positively correlated to VEGF-C expression in papillary thyroid carcinoma(r=0.378, P<0.05).Conclusion:The results suggest that COX-2 and VEGF-C were highly expressed in papillary thyroid carcinoma, with possible interaction of their expressions, and may play a critical role in the cervical lymph metastases of papillary thyroid carcinoma.
