Stroke is one of the most devastating complications after cardiac surgery,and contributes to both mortality and morbidity.Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are the common procedures for the treatment of coronary artery disease.This article reviews the pathophysiologic mechanisms,risk factors,treatment and prognosis of stroke after CABG and PCI.

BACKGROUND:Recombinant human epidermal growth factor has been shown to promote granulation tissue formation and to accelerate the healing of burn wounds, but the antibacterial effect of recombinant human epidermal growth factor is limited. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of nano-silver dressing combined with recombinant human epidermal growth factor gel in treatment of burns and the influence on the scar. METHODS:A total of 76 cases of shal ow II and depth II degree were randomly enrol ed and assigned to two groups. In the study group, recombinant human epidermal growth factor was coated on the surface of the wound, and then covered by nano-silver dressing. In the control group, recombinant human epidermal growth factor was coated on the surface of the wound, and covered by ordinary sterile gauze. The healing time, the positive rate of bacteria, scarring and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The wound healing time and the rate of hypertrophic scars after healing were lower in the study group than in the control group (P<0.01). The rate of flat scar was greater in the study group than in the control group after healing (P<0.01). The bacterial positive rate was significantly lower in the study group than in the control group at 7, 14 and 21 days after treatment (P<0.05). No significant difference in incidence of al ergies and local burning sensation was detected between the two groups (P>0.05). These data confirmed that recombinant human epidermal growth factor gel combined with nano-silver dressing in the treatment of burn has good efficacy and accelerates the wound healing, reduces scar formation, and improves aesthetics.

Objective: This study was designed to investigate the variations of endotoxin,glutamine and TNF-? concentration in septic rats. Methods: A total of 90 adult male SD rats were divided as follows: control group(normal),experimental group(CLP).They were killed on hour 6,12,24,48,72 after surgery.Plasma,liver,small intestine and skeletal muscle were collected to measure the concentrations of glutamine in plasma and tissues,the levels of endotoxin and TNF-? in plasma. Results: In septic rats,plasma concentrations of endotoxin and TNF-? increased on hour 6,significantly increased on hour 12,attained the peak on hour 24,and decreased evidently on hour 48 and 72.Glutamine concentration in plasma elevated on hour 6 and 12,elevated significantly on hour 24 and 48,and decreased on hour 72.Glutamine concentration in liver increased on hour 6～12,increased significantly on hour 24,and decreased significantly on hour 48 and 72.Glutamine concentration in small intestine and skeletal muscle decreased on hour 6 and 12,and decreased significantly after 24 hour. Conclusion: During the early stage of sepsis,the plasma levels of endotoxin and TNF-? are increased significantly,the glutamine concentration in plasma and liver is also increased significantly,however,it was decreased evidently in skeletal muscle and small intestine.

Objective:Glutamine is the main oxidative fuel of the enterocyte which enters the enterocyte primarily via amino acid transporters.The aim of the test was to study the distributions and functions of glutamine transporters in IEC-6 cell line.Methods:The rat intestinal epithelial cell line(IEC-6) was incubated in vitro.The mRNA expression of different glutamine transporters,protein expression of system ASCT2,and the [3H]-L-glutamine uptake were measured.Results:The mRNA of system ASCT2,SN1,ATA1,LAT1,LAT2 was expressed and the protein expression of ASCT2 was also validated in IEC-6.In Na+-containing buffer,the velocity of Na+-dependent glutamine uptake was(164.07?37.94) fmol/(mg protein?10min).In Na+-free buffer,the velocity of glutamine uptake was(58.71?10.51)fmol/(mg protein?10min).With the saturate dosage of MeAIB,the velocity of glutamine uptake was(81.02 ?19.59) fmol/(mg protein?10min).Conclusion:There may be five kinds of glutamine transporters(ASCT2,SN1,ATA1,LAT1,and LAT2) in IEC-6 cell.The Na+-dependent transporter was the major contributor(64.22%) to glutamine total uptake in IEC-6.The contributions of system A and the remainder were 50.62% and 13.60%,respectively.The Na+-independent transporter was the lesser contributor(35.78%).

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of capecitabine continuous maintenance in treatment of re-currence of triple-negative breast cancer,which had responded to combined chemoradiotherapy.Methods The triple-negative breast cancer was defined as negative of ER,PR and HER2.A total of 46 patients of triple-negative breast cancer were divided into the treatment group (23 patients)and the control group (23 patients).The treatment group was given capecitabine continuous mainte-nance after 6 cycles of chemotherapy.The control group was given 6 cycles of combined chemotherapy only.The clinical efficacy and safety was evaluated between the two groups.Results The PR,PD,RR,and DCR in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P <0.05).The acute toxic effects (except for hand-foot syndrome)were similar in two group(P >0.05).Conclusion Capecitabine continuous maintenance after combined chemoradiotherapy in treatment of recurrence of triple-neg-ative breast cancer is more effective,lower toxicity and tolerable.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) of the bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP-4) gene with the morbidity and severity of the ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) of the spine in Chinese patients. MethodsThe venous blood samples of 200 OPLL patients and 200 non-OPLL controls were measured with the DNA sequences in four locus of BMP-4 gene with polymerase chain reaction(PCR). ResultsThere was a significant association between the rs17563，rs2855532 polymorphism and the occurrence of OPLL （P＜0.05）. The ''T'' allele in these 2 SNPs promotes the extent of OPLL (P<0.05). However, no significant association in morbidity and severity was found between the other 2 SNPs (rs1957860, rs2071047). ConclusionSNPs in rs17563，rs2855532 associates with the morbidity and severity of the ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament of the spine in Chinese patients.

Objective To investigate the extraction and purification methods of serum specific endothelial cell antibody of renal transplant recipients with rejection after renal transplantation.Methods Human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC)was isolated and cultured.The serum samples of the renal transplant recipients with poor renal function after renal transplantation were collected.Specific endothelial cell antibody was screened out with flow cytometry;antibodies against human leukocyte antigen (HLA)and major histocompatibility complex class Ⅰ-related chain A (MICA)were detected by Luminex platform.After the existence of specific endothelial cell antibody in the serum sample was confirmed,specific endothelial cell antibody was absorbed with HUVEC.The cell was washed and then the absorbed antibody was eluted from the cell membrane.Antibody IgG in the eluent was purified and concentrated again with Protein-A /G magnetic beads.Antibody activity in the eluent was detected by flow cytometry and the purified specific endothelial cell antibody (IgG)was identified by SDS-polyacrylamide gel (SDS-PAGE)and Western blot.Results In the serum of 386 renal transplant recipients,the serum samples of 5 renal transplant recipients with serum creatinine (Scr) >400 μmoI /L,negative anti-HLA antibody,negative anti-MICA antibody and median fluorescence intensity (MFI) >16 were selected.Purified specific endothelial cell antibody IgG showed immunoglobulin heavy chain (purity > 95%)by SDS-PAGE gel.Flow cytometry showed that the purified antibody had the feature of rebinding with the surface antigen of vascular endothelial cell.Conclusions The purification method of using human umbilical vein endothelial cell to absorb specific endothelial cell antibody in the serum of renal transplant recipients may obtain good effect.
