AIM: To establish the experimental acute pulmonary embolism(APE) model and observe the left and right ventricular pressure-volume relationship in different overload situations. METHODS: The present study consisted of seven anesthetized mongrel dogs that were divided into the control group, moderate APE group and severe APE group according to the various phase and different pressure load during the experiment. APE model was induced by suture piece injection through right cardiac catheterization. The hemodynamic indexes were measured by the simultaneous cardiac catheterization and echocardiography.RESULTS: (1) In the group with moderate APE, the pressure-volume relationship of right ventricle tended to right-upward shift, the area of chart increased, the shape of chart transformed form triangle to rectangle. The mild parallel leftward shift, the area of chart decreased mildly and no change of chart shape was observed in the pressure-volume relationship of left ventricle. (2) In the group with severe APE, the chart of right ventricular pressure-volume relationship tended to right-upward shift continuously, the area of chart decreased. The chart of the left ventricle tended to left-downward shift and no change of chart shape was observed in the pressure-volume relationship of left ventricle, the area of chart decreased. The erose shape of charts was also found.CONCLUSION: The chart of ventricular pressure-volume relationships is a practical and reliable method to evaluate left and right ventricular hemodynamic in APE.

Objective To analyze the differential gene expression profiling of liver in rats subjected to hemorrhagic shock(HS) and sham hemorrhage shock(SHAM) by gene chip technology, thus to evaluate the possible molecular pathogenesis of HS. Method 20 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into a SHAM group and a HS group, with 10 rats in each group. Hepatic gene expression profiles were detected by oligonucleotide microarrays of 5705 mouse genes in two groups for three times. Genes with ratio(R) > 2 were identified as up-regulated and R < 0.5 were identified as down-regulated. Biological function of differentially expressed genes was analyzed and 9 genes were selected to undergo semi-quantitative RT-PCR. Results Among the total 5705 probes detected,86 genes showed differential expression in HS group comparison with SHAM group. The expression levels of 72 genes were up-regulated while those of 14 genes were down-regulated significantly. Differentially expressed genes were classified according to their biological function: transport genes, transcription regulator genes, signaling genes, response to stress genes, metabolic genes, development genes and cell adhesion genes. Conclusions cDNA microarray is an efficient and high-throughout method to survey gene expression profiles in HS.The variation of those gene expressions might be a potential pathogenic mechanism for HS that may offer a novel target for further study of therapeutic strategies of HS.
