Objective: To explore the effect of trimetazidine (TMZ) on T-peak (Tp) to T-end (Te) interval of resting ECG in patients with unstable angina pectoris (UAP) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: We investigated 94 UAP patients with PCI and 76 of them ifnished the study as 2 groups. Control group,n=42, the patients received conventional treatment, and TMZ group,n=34, in addition to conventional treatment, the patients received TMZ 60 mg at 0.5 to 1 hour before PCI. The changes of Tp to Te interval before and after PCI were calculated, serum levels of creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) at before and at 6, 24 hours after PCI were compared between 2 groups. Ventricular arrhythmia was recorded during PCI. Results: Both groups had shortened Tp to Te intervals after PCI, and TMZ group had more shortened Tp to Te interval, bothP<0.05, while the Tp to Te intervals were similar between 2 group before PCI,P>0.05. The occurrence rate of ventricular arrhythmia in Control group was higher than that in TMZ group (12.52% vs 5.16%) during PCI,P<0.05. Compared with Control group, TMZ group had lower levels of CK, CK-MB and cTnI at 6, 24 hours after PCI, allP<0.05. Conclusion: TMZ could decrease Tp to Te interval of resting ECG, prevent ventricular arrhythmia and reduce the relevant myocardial injury in UAP patients after PCI.

Objective To explore the protective effect of pre-operation administration of nicorandil on myocardial injury and recurrent angina in patients with unstable angina pectoris who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods A total of 91 patients with unstable angina pectoris were admitted for PCI and randomly divided into 2 groups who either received nicorandil(5 mg tid)or not for 7 days prior to the procedure and routine dose of nicorandil (5mg tid) after it. The concentrations of creatine kinase MB (CK-MB) and cardiac troponin I(cTnI) were compared between two groups before PCI and 6 hours, 18 hours and 24 hours after PCI;Recurent angina and major adverse cardiac events,includ-ing death,re-infarction and stroke at 6 months after the procedure were also chased and compared. Results In total, 75 pa-tients who were successfully undergone elective PC1 were finally enrolled,among whom 37 cases were in nicorandil group and 38 cases were in routine group. Post-procedural levels of CK-MB and cTnI significantly reduced in the nicorandil group between 6~24 h (P<0.05) compared those in routine group.At 6 months follow-up,symptoms of recurrent angina after PCI were significantly relieved in the nicorandil group compared with that in routine group (P < 0.05).Conclusion nicorandil can limit the PCI-induced myocardial injury and relieve the symptoms of recurrent angina after PCI in patients with unstable angina.

BACKGROUND:Until now, it is stil unclear whether the stem cel transplantation triggersadverse effects on the myocardial electrical activity, resulting in the emergence of arrhythmia.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of intracoronary transplantation of umbilical cord blood stem cels on arrhythmia score and incidence of ventricular arrhythmia.
METHODS:According to therapeutic strategies, 73patients with coronary heart disease were assigned to receive drug therapy in control group (n=38) and umbilical cord blood stem cel transplantation in observation group (n=35). Arrhythmia score, incidence of ventricular arrhythmia and adverse reactions were recorded and analyzed before and 1, 4, 8 weeks after transplantation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After treatment, arrhythmia scores were significantly reduced in the two groups, especialy in the observation group, to exhibit a continuous decline trend (P< 0.05). Compared with the control group, the incidence of ventricular arrhythmia was significantly lower in the observation (P< 0.05). However, there were no significant changes in the blood pressure, heart rate and blood oxygen saturation before and after transplantation, and no acute heart failure and death occurred in thetwo groups. These results suggest that the intracoronary transplantation of umbilical cord blood stem cels exhibits superiorities in the treatment of coronary artery disease, significantly reducing the arrhythmia score, reducing the incidence of ventricular arrhythmia, and resulting in less adverse reactions.

OBJECTIVE:
To study the effect of silencing LncRNA SNHG7 on hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-induced cardiomyocyte injury and its targeted regulation on miR-181b-5p.
METHODS:
Rat cardiomyocytes H9c2 were cultured in vitro and randomly divided into control group, H/R group, H/R + si-NC group, H/R + si-SNHG7 group, H/R + si-SNHG7 + anti-miR-NC group and H/R + si-SNHG7 + anti-miR-181b-5p group. The content of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), malondialedhyde (MDA) and the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) were detected. Flow cytometry was carried out to detect the rate of apoptosis. qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of SNHG7 and miR-181b-5p. Dual luciferase report experiment was used to verify the targeting relationship between SNHG7 and miR-181b-5p. Western blotting was used to detect the expression of Bax and Bcl-2.
RESULTS:
Compared with the control group, the H/R group showed significantly increased SNHG7 expression in cardiomyocytes, reduced miR-181b-5p expression, higher levels of LDH and MDA, reduced activity of SOD, increased cell apoptosis rate, higher level of Bax protein, and reduced level of Bcl-2 protein (all P< 0.05). Compared with the H/R and H/R + si-NC groups, the H/R + si-SNHG7 group had significantly reduced level of LDH and MDA, increased activity of SOD, reduced apoptosis rate, reduced level of Bax protein, increased level of Bcl-2 protein (all P< 0.05). The dual luciferase report experiment confirmed that SNHG7 could target miR-181b-5p. Interference with the expression of miR-181b-5p could reduce the effect of silencing SNHG7 on H/R-induced cardiomyocyte oxidative stress and apoptosis.
CONCLUSION
Silencing SNHG7 may inhibit H/R-induced cardiomyocyte oxidative stress and apoptosis by up-regulating the expression of miR-181b-5p, thereby exerting a protective effect on cardiomyocytes.

Objective To investigate the potential role of disc repositioning and condyle restoration in the treatment of type Ⅲ traumatogenic temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis. Methods Eight patients including four females and four males at age range of 7-22 years (mean 13.6 years) were enrolled in this study. The patients suffered from traumatogenic TMJ ankylosis for 1-12 years. The preoperative interincisal opening distances ranged from 2 mm to 10 mm. During surgery, the traumatogenic callus of the lateral condyle process was removed, the condyle process was formed, and then the dislocated disc was sutured to the articular capsule or soft tissues around. Results All patients were followed up for 6-38 months and the last follow-up examination showed that the average interincisal opening distance was 30 mm. No recurrence or TMJ symptoms were found during the period of follow-up. Conclusions Disc repositioning and condyle restoration has the advantages of simple procedures, minor trauma and little recurrence and proves to be a feasible and effective method for the treatment of type Ⅲ traumatogenic TMJ ankylosis.
