Aim To study the effect of simvastatin on ventricular remodeling in rats after myocardial infarction,and the association between this effect and phosphorylating extracellular signal-regulated kinase1/2(p-ERK1/2).Methods Myocardial infarction(MI)rat models were successfully induced by ligation of anterior descending coronary artery.The treated rats were randomly divided into 4 groups(n=8~10):MI only group,MI plus 20 mg Sim group(20 mg?kg-1?d-1),MI plus 40 mg Sim group(40 mg?kg-1?d-1),and sham-operated group.After 4 weeks,the rats were checked by echocardiography including LVEDd,LVPWd,LVEF,FS,SV and CO.Myocardial p-ERK1/2 was also examined by immunohistochemistry and Western blot.Results Compared with sham-operated group,LVEDd,LVPWd in other groups were significantly increased(P

Objective To investigate the time-effect relationship of angiogenesis induced by ultrasound.mediated microbubble destruction in the skeletal muscle of rats.Methods Forty-eight healthy SD rats were divided into 4 groups:ultrasound-mediated microbubble destruction group,ultrasound only group,microbubble only group and control group.In ultrasound-mediated mierobubble destruction group, microbubbles were inj ected by vein at a dose of 0.5 ml and the target skeletal muscle was radiated at 2.0W/cm2.In ultrasound only group,the target skeletal muscle was radiated at 2.0 W/cm2.In microbubble only group.microbubbles were injected by vein at a dose of 0.5 ml.The control rats were without ultrasound radiation and microbubbles.On the 3rd,7th,10th,14th,21st and 28th day after the ultrasound radiation,two rats in each group were sacrificed and the target skeletal muscle was harvested for HE staining to observe the microstructure of tissue,immunohistochemistry staining was used to count the microvessel density (MVD),enzyme 1inked inmmunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to detect the expression of vascular endothelial grouth factor(VEGF).Results Angiogenesis was significant in ultrasound-mediated mierobubhle destruction group,but a little in ultrasound only group.There was not any angiogenesis in either microbubble only group or control group.MVD and VEGF expression of ultrasound-mediated microbubble destruction group arrived at a peak on the 1Oth day as well as on the 14th day of ultrasound group.Conclusions Ultrasound-mediated microbubble destruction can facilliate the endogenous secretion of VEGF quickly and more,and accelerate the angiogenesis in the skeletal muscle.

Objective To prepare the lipid ultrasound microbubbles carrying gene and transactivating transc"ptional activator(Tat)peptide and to study the efficiency of carrying gene and Tat as well as to study their ability as an ultrasound contrast agent.Methods The lipid ultrasound microbubbles were prepared using mechanical vibration method.The appearance,distribution,concentration,diameter and zeta potential were measured.The efficiencies of carrying gene and Tat were studyed by a confocal laser scanning microscopy and a fluorospectrophotometer.For the in vivo experiment,contrast-enhanced ultrasonography was performed on six rabbits to observe the duration and intensity of enhancement in the heart chambers and myocardium after the injection of the microbubbles.Results The diameter of the self-made lipid microbubbles carrying gene and Tat was(2.27±0.38)μm,the concentration was(3.07±0.42)×109/ml and zeta potential was(1.95±0.13)mV.The gene encapsulation efficiency for the lipid ultrasound microbubbles was 32%,and the Tat encapsulation efficiency was 35%.The in vivo experiment showed that the lipid ultrasound microbubbles could significantly enhance the echo intensity of myocardium.Conclusions The efficiency of carrying gene and Tat for the prepared lipid microbubbles is high,which can be used as a new vehicle carrying genes or drugs for therapy as well as an ultrasound contrast agent.

Objective To evaluate the intra- and interatrial synchronization before and after pacemaker implantation in patients with sick sinus syndrome ( SSS) by tissue Doppler imaging ( TDI) . Methods Thirty-eight patients with SSS ( SSS group ) underwent pacemaker implantation . Echocardiography was performed before and after operation . Twenty-five volunteers were chosen as control group . Routine measurement of left and right atrial diameter by echocardiography . In apical four chamber view ,the sample volume of TDI was located at right atrial lateral wall at tricuspid annulus ,interatrial septum and left atrial lateral wall at mitral annulus . The interval time between the early diastolic wave ( E wave) and the late diastolic wave (A wave) (E-AR ,E-AI ,E-AL ) ,and the duration of A wave (AR ,AI ,AL ) were measured . At the same time ,the electromechanical coupling time was measured ,namely the initiation of the P wave of the synchronous electrocardiogram to the starting point of A wave ( P-A0R ,P-A0I ,P-A0L ) , and the starting point of the P wave to the peak point of the A wave ( P-AR ,P-AI ,P-AL ) . And the right atrial electromechanical delay time ,P-A0I and P-A0R value ( T0IR ) ,P-AI value and P-AR value ( TIR ) were recorded .Other parameters include left atrial electromechanical delay time:P-A0L and P-A0I value ( T0LI ) , and P-AL and P-AI value ( TLI ) ;interatrial electromechanical delay time:P-A0L and P-A0R value ( T0LR ) ,P-AL and P-AR ( TLR ) were recorded . Results Compared with the control group ,left atrium and right atrium in SSS group enlarged before operation , E-AR ,E-AI ,E-AL ,P-A0R ,P-A0I ,P-AR ,P-AL prolonged ,while T0LR and T0LI were shortened ( all P < 0 .05 ) . Postoperative changes in SSS group patients included shortened E-AR ,E-AI and E-AL ,and prolonged T0LI and T0LR ( all P <0 .05) . Compared with the control group ,the size of left atriums and right atriums in SSS group still increased postoperation ,and the P-A0I 、P-AR and P-AL remained longer (all P <0 .05) . The same as the control group ,the postoperative AR ,AI and AL in SSS group were decreased successively ( all P < 0 .05 ) . Conclusions In SSS patients , electromechanical asynchrony exists in different part of atrium and between left atrium and right atrium . Pacemaker therapy can improve atrial electromechanical synchronicity .

Objective: : The objective of this study was to assess the relationship between spermine synthase (SMS) expression, tumor occurrence, and prognosis in lower-grade gliomas (LGGs). Methods: : A total of 523 LGG patients and 1152 normal brain tissues were included as controls. Mann-Whitney U test was performed to evaluate SMS expression in the LGG group. Functional annotation analysis was conducted to explore the biological processes associated with high SMS expression. Immune cell infiltration analysis was performed to examine the correlation between SMS expression and immune cell types. The association between SMS expression and clinical and pathological features was assessed using Spearman correlation analysis. In vitro experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of overexpressing or downregulating SMS on cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, invasion, and key proteins in the protein kinase B (AKT)/epithelialmesenchymal transition signaling pathway. Results: : The study revealed a significant upregulation of SMS expression in LGGs compared to normal brain tissues. High SMS expression was associated with certain clinical and pathological features, including older age, astrocytoma, higher World Health Organization grade, poor disease-specific survival, disease progression, non-1p/19q codeletion, and wild-type isocitrate dehydrogenase. Cox regression analysis identified SMS as a risk factor for overall survival. Bioinformatics analysis showed enrichment of eosinophils, T cells, and macrophages in LGG samples, while proportions of dendritic (DC) cells, plasmacytoid DC (pDC) cells, and CD8+ T cells were decreased. Conclusion : High SMS expression in LGGs may promote tumor occurrence through cellular proliferation and modulation of immune cell infiltration. These findings suggest the prognostic value of SMS in predicting clinical outcomes for LGG patients.
