Objective To investigate the formaldehyde pollution in the indoor air in some newly decorated houses in Beijing and analyze the dynamic changes in order to find the change law of formaldehyde. Methods 54 residences were randomly chosen in Beijing to monitor the formaldehyde levels. The temperature and humidity were recorded at the same time. Covariance analysis was used to analyze the influence of temperature and humidity on formaldehyde pollution levels. Results In six consecutive months of monitoring after the decoration, the monthly average concentrations of formaldehyde in the indoor air were 0.04 mg/m3, 0.04 mg/m3, 0.13 mg/m3, 0.15 mg/m3, 0.02 mg/m3 and 0.03 mg/m3 respectively. The influence of temperature and humidity on formaldehyde levels was significant. Conclusion The formaldehyde level in the indoor air after decoration is mainly affected by the season and time. Residents should open the windows more often and it is suggested to live in the newly decorated houses in six months as the decoration finished.

AIM: To investigate the feasibility of reendothelialization of the injured arterial wall by autologous endothelial cell transplantation and their influences on neointima proliferation. METHODS: New Zealand white rabbits (n=30) were subjected to bilateral iliofemoral artery balloon injury. Cultured, autologous venous endothelial cells were immediately transplanted into one vessel(transplantation group), whereas the contralateral artery received medium only(control group). Reendothelialization of the injured arterial wall was analysed 4 hours or 4 days after cell transplantation by fluorescent tracing、scanning electron microscope(SEM) and Evans blue staining. Pathology analysis was employed 28 days after cell transplantation to evaluate neointima proliferation. RESULTS: The transplanted endothelial cells had adhered into the aterial wall 4 hours after transplantation and began to attach and spread 4 days later. A number of fluorescent labeling endothelial cells were observed in the endothelial injured arterial wall. The vessels in control group were stained nearly completely by Evans blue, whereas about 60% area was not stained in transplantation group. Pathological examination demostrated that neointimal area and maximal intima thickness in transplantation group significant decreased than those in control. CONCLUSION: Autologus endothelial cells were effectively transplanted into the injured arterial wall by balloon catheter, and it can relieve neointima proliferation in the long time.

Objective To investigate the different influences of simvastatin on proliferation of rat smooth muscle progenitor cells(SPCs) versus endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and identify the compounds that differentially inhibit SPCs and EPCs proliferation for clinical usefulness. Methods Total mononuclear cells (MNCs) were isolated from bone marrow of rats by Fieoll density gradient centrifugation, and then the cells were plated on fibronectin-coated culture dishes. SPCs outgrew from the culture of MNCs in the presence of platelet-derived growth factor-BB and basic fibroblast growth factor, whereas EPCs were obtained in the presence of vascular endothelial growth factor. SPCs were identified as adherent cells positive for α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) by indirect immunofluoreseent staining. EPCs were characterized as adherent cells double positive for DiLDL-uptake and lectin binding by direct fluorescent staining. SPCs and EPCs were stimulated by simvastatin (0.01~10.00 μmol/L) or vehicle control for the respective time points (6 h, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h). SPCs and EPCs proliferation were assayed with 3H-TdR incorporation and manual counting respectively. Results Simvastatin obviously inhibited SPCs proliferation. At the concentration of 0. 01 μmol/L for 12 h,simvastatin significantly reduced the number of SPCs by (5.8±3.1)% compared with control group (P<0.05). Simvastatin significantly stimulated EPCs proliferation, which was dose- and time dependent and reached maximum at 1 μmol/L after 24 hours (2.0±0.1 fold increase, P<0.01).Conclusions Simvastatin displays different effects on SPCs (inhibited) and EPCs (promoted)proliferation. Local application of simvastatin may inhibit arterial restenosis and promote reendothelialization of injured vessels.

Objective To summarize surgical experience of eight patients with pentalogy of Cantrell. Methods Six male and two female patients with pentalogy of Cantrell,aged from 4 months to 26 years old, average 7.35 years old, underwent surgical therapy for intracardiac anomalies and extracardiac anomalies from July 2007 to June 2009. Eight case with intracardiac anomalies include one case with only VSD, one case with only ASD, two cases with DORV, four cases with VSD and ASD or PTO. Experts majoring in cardiovascular surgery cooperated with doctors majoring in thoracic surgery and general surgery for satisfactory correction of intracardiac anomalies and extracardiac anomalies and repositioning heart to thoracic cavity. Results Ectopic heart of the first patient was simply repositioned into thoracic cavity following surgery of double outlet of right ventricle in another hospital two years before. Correction of introcardiac anomaly and reposition of ectopic heart finished at one time in 7 cases. Eight patients got full recovery except that residual shunt occurred in the second case which also got full recovery after transcatheter therapy. Ventricular diverticulum was removed in the fourth case because of difficult reposition of ectopic heart.With the help of general surgeon and thoracic surgeon, partial coronary ligament of liver and falciform ligament of liver in the left was cut in the first case and the left half lobe of liver was pushed downward. Bilateral pleural and marginal costal costochondral was cut and make thoracic wall upward so that ectopic heart can reset into thoracic cavity. And then, defect of diaphragm and abdominal wall were repaired with Proceed patch. In the other seven cases, bilateral pericardium and mediastinal pleura was cut and the 7th and 8th cartilage was transected and bilateral costal arch was closed so for complete thoracic angioplasty.Left ventricular dysfunction occurred in the fifth case with DORV and also got full recovery after symptomatic treatment. Full recovery was got in all cases after followingup from 1 to 23 months. No adverse complications occurred and every case live a wonderful life. Conclusion Pentalogy of Cantrell can be cured at one time by accurate correction of cardiac anomalies, cutting of bilateral pleural and marginal costal costochondral to make thoracic wall upward and enlarge thoracic space for repositinning of ectopic heart and using artificial patch to repair defect of diaphragm when necessary.
