Objective To determine the changes of L-type calcium currents(I Ca-L ) of rabbit ischemic myocytes in peri-infarcted zone.Methods Rabbit AMI models were made by ligation of branches of left coronary artery. After 1 week and 2 months, single pericardial myocytes were isolated enzymatically from ischemic zone adjacent to infarcted area and the normal control cells from similar regions in normal rabbit hearts. I Ca-L were recorded by using patch clamp techniques in the whole cell configuration. Results Peak of I Ca-L density of ischemic cells from the peri-infarcted zone was significantly reduced in AMI onc week later ( 3 52 0 93 pA/pF, n=6) compared to control cells ( 5 58 1 53pA/pF,n=10), P0 05 The steady-state inactivation curves were shifted to the hyperpolarizing direction in ischemic cells,the half-maximal voltage dependence of inactivation(V 1/2 ) in ischemic cells was 25 9 7 0 mV in AMI 1W , 21 3 5 6mV in AMI 2M and 13 1 4 2mV in the control cells(compared with control group,P

Endogenous beta retroviruses (enJSRV) are highly homologous with Jaagsiekte sheep retrovirus (exJSRV),this exogenous retrovirus is the aetiological agent of ovine pulmonary adenocarcinoma (OPA).The aim of this study was to clarify the function of enJSRV and the immunological mechanisms of its corresponding antibody,that is undetectable in JSRV-infected ovine serum.The expression of enJSRV envelope protein and Hyal-2 mRNA in immune organs and lungs of ovine fetuses and lambs were analyzed by Real-Time reverse transcription PCR and In Situ Hybridization using specific probes.In Situ Hybridization results indicated that the enJSRV envelope protein and Hyal-2 mRNA were expressed in thymus,spleen,mesenteric lymph nodes and lungs at different times,while no positive signals were detected in the negative controls.On the other hand,results from Real-Time reverse transcription PCR analysis showed that in 130d fetuses and 3d newborn lambs the enJSRV mRNA levels were much higher in organs associated with the immune system than that in lungs,especially in the thymus and spleen,but levels of Hyal-2 mRNA expression was not significantly different in all collected tissue.These results provided evidence from an immunology point of view to understand why the circulating antibodies against exJSRV are undetectable in JSRV-infected ovine,and will help to unravel the pathogenesis of JSRV-infected ovine.

Objective To study the changes of sodium currents(I_(Na))of ventricular cells in rats after acute pancreatitis.Methods Rats'models of acute panereatitis were produced by injecting sodium taurocholate into the pancreatic duet.After 24 hours,single ventrieular cells was isolated enzymatieally,and I_(Na),were recorded by using patch clamp techniques.Results I_(Na) peak from ventricular cells in the acute panereatitis group was significantly reduced(- 6.80?2.03)pA/pF compared with that in control group(-13.55?5.33)pA/pF,P＜0.001.The steady-state inactivation curve was shifted to upward direction,the half-maximal voltage dependence of inactivation(V_(0.5))was(-121?26)mV in ventrieular cells from panereatitis group and(-105?21)mV form the control group.I_(Na) returned to normal more slowly in ventrieular cells from panereatitis group than that from control group.Conclusion Inhibitation of I_(Na) was found in ventrieular cells,which might cause arrhythmias in rats with acute pancreatitis.

Objective: To explore the feasibility and safety of three dimensional (3D) electro-anatomical mapping system (Carto3) in treating the patients with paroxysmal supra-ventricular tachycardia (PSVT) by radiofrequency catheter ablation (RCFA).
Methods: A total of 180 PSVT patients were divided into 2 groups, n=90 in each group. 3-D group, the patients received RCFA with 3-D reconstructed valve ring model under Carto3 guidance. 2-D group, the patients received RCFA under conventional X-ray guidance. The procedural and X-ray exposure times, rates of success and complications, tachycardia recurrence at 6 months after procedure and the cost were observed and compared between 2 group.
Results: The procedural time was similar between 2 groups, P=0.1403. The patients in 3-D group had the lower X-ray exposure time (2.1 ± 0.7 vs 7.8 ± 3.6) min, particularly in those with right-sided accessory pathway (3.4 ± 0.7 vs 20.2 ± 7.1) min, and dual atrio-ventricular (A-V) nodal pathways (1.1 ± 0.3 vs 5.5 ±1.7) min, all P<0.0001. There was 1 patient in 3-D group without RCFA and all the others were successes. 2-D group had 3 patients with failed RFCA including 2 of right-sided accessory pathway, 1 of dual A-V nodal pathways and received 2nd RCFA under Carto3 guidance. 3-D group had no complication, no recurrence. In 2-D group, 1 patient suffered from complete A-V block (AVB) during ablation and 1-year later, the Holter showed II° to III° AVB;2 patients with recurrence including 1 of dual A-V nodal pathways and had successful 2nd ablation. The cost was higher in 3-D treatment.
Conclusion: RFCA was feasible for treating PSVT patients under Carto3 guidance, which had the higher success rate with lower X-ray exposure and complication.

Objective To explore the relationship among genetic polymorphism of angiotension Ⅱ type 1 re-ceptor(AT1 R) A1166-C, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D), aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2)-344T/C and hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy.Methods Polymerase chain reaction-re-striction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assay was used to detect the genotypes of AT1 R A1166-C ,ACE (I/O) ,CYP11B2 -344T/C in 86 cases of hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy and 175 cases of normal control.Results There was 18 combined types in hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy cases and normal control cases.Compared to AT1R-AA + ACE-Ⅱ + CYP11B2-TT, Odds ratios (OR) of AT1R-AA + ACE-DO +CYP11B2-TC,AT1 R-AC + ACE-ID+CYP11B2-TC and AT1R-AC+ACE-DD+CYP11B2-TC are 7.289,5.315 and 5.694 respectively.There was no statistical significance among the others.Conclusion In all 18 kinds of combined types, AT1 R-AA + ACE-DO + CYP11B2-TC,AT1R-AC+ACE-ID+CYP11B2-TC and AT1 R-AC + ACE-DD +CYP11B2-TC might increase the susceptibility of hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy.It is possible that multigenes are interacted in the etiology of hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy.
