Objective To observe the effects of low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields (LFPEMFs) on microcirculation angiogenesis in the hindlimbs of diabetic rats with acute ischemia. Methods Models of acute hindlimb ischemia were established in 60 male Sprague-Dawley diabetic rats. The diabetes model was established using 60 mg/kg intraperitoneal injections of streptozotocin (STZ). Fasting blood glucose levels were greater than 300 mg/dL. The rats were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The rats in the experimental group were exposed to low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields for 2 hours each day, while the control group was not given any treatment. Laser-Doppler perfusion was used to measure blood flow in the ischemic hindlimb on days 0,7, 14 and 28 after the operation. The immunofluorescence of rat endothelial cell antigen-1 ( RECA-1) was used to evaluate the changes in angiogenesis. The levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) were determined by both Western blotting and ELISA, and VEGFR2 and FGFR1 levels in the ischemic skeletal muscle were determined by Western blotting on days 7, 14 and 28 after the operation. Results The average perfusion ratio was significantly greater in the experimental group at days 14 and 28 compared with the control group. RECA-1 density in the tissues had increased significantly in the experimental group at the 14th and 28th day. The same was observed for FGF-2 and its receptor, but there was no significant difference for VEGF or its receptor in either group. Conclusions LFPMEFs can promote angiogenesis in acute hindlimb ischemia of diabetic rats by up-regulating FGF-2. This suggests that LFPMEFs may be useful for preventing and treating lower limb ischemia in diabetic humans.

BACKGROUND: Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) is primarily involved in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-mediated signal transduction and plays a critical role in the pathological angiogenesis that occurs in a number of diseases, including leukemia. Besides, VEGF secreted by leukemia cells also induces its own expression which leads to an enhanced production of VEGFR2 which contributes to the survival and proliferation of leukemia cells.OBJECTrVE: To evaluate the inhibitive effect of Lenti6/shVEGFR2 on the VEGFR2 expression and leukemia growth in mouse.DESIGN: A randomized, parallelized, controlled and open trial.SETTING: Department of Pediatrics, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University; Biotechnology Research Center, Sun Yat-sen University.MATERIALS: The experiment had been done in the laboratories for Medical Research Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University and Biotechnology Research Center, Sun Yat-sen University from May 2004 to January Lentiviral RNAi Expression System was purchased from Invitrogen, Co.,Ltd.; human VEGFR2 Mcb (PE) was purchased from R&D; CD31 immunohistochemistry kit was purchased from Boster, Co.,Ltd.; CD33-PE fluorescence labeled antibody was purchased from BD, Co.,Ltd.transiently and expression clone (Lenti6/shVEGFR2) was constructed, then cotransfected with ViraPowerTM Packaging Mix pU6/shVEGFR2 entry clone and transducting with Lenti6/shVEGFR2 expression clone, the effect on the development of intravenous xenograft leukemia mouse model, the distribution of microvessels in mouse bone marrow was observed after leukemia model mouse injected with recombinant lentivirus (group B); leukemia model mouse injected with recombinant lentivirus and endothelial cell (group C); leukemia model mouse injected with endothelial cell (group D). Through detecting changes of CD33 positive cells and microvessel density (MVD) in bone marrow, observing peripheral blood cell (PBC)smear and slice of liver, spleen, the effect of Lenti6/shVEGFR2 recombinant lentivirus on mouse leukemia was evaluated.mediated with lentivirus on VEGFNEGFR2 paracrine and autocrine loops in leukemia mouse.effective in inhibiting HL60 cell. pU6/shVEGFR2 entry clone constructed according to it had cell inhibitory rate as high as after transfection of pU6/shVEGFR2 entry clone and transduction of Lenti6/shVEGFR2 expression clone: 48 hours after transfection of pU6/shVEGFR2 entry clone and transduction of Lenti6/shVEGFR2 expression clone, the cell growth inhibitive rates were similar. However, the cell growth inhibitive rate of entry clone descended rapidly after 48 hours (P＜0.01); which of expression clone changed slowly, reaching the peak at 96 hours, dropped slightly, having no significance mouse: The amount of HL60 cells in bone marrow of groups A, B and C detected with flow cytometry were (25.8%±4.9)%, (14.3%±5.1)%, (8.4±2.6)%, respectively (P＜0.05); MVD in group C was obviously less than that in group D (P＜0.05); The amount of HL60 cells in leukemia model mouse injected with recombinant lentivirus and endothelial cell was the lowest as compared with the other groups.

Objective　To investigate the prognosis in risk of ventricular arrhythmia in coronary heart disease with heart rate variability (H RV), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and other clinical background dat a. Methods　A total of 81 patients were divided into ventricular premature beats (VPBs)≥30/h group and VPBs<30/h group. Their LVEF, HRV and cli nical data were studied and analyzed. Results　The age and blood pressure between 2 groups had no significant difference. LVEF, standard deviati on of all normal RR intervals (SDNN), SD of the average of NN interval (SDANN) a nd HRV triangular index (HRVI) were significant less in VPBs≥30/h group than in VPBs<30/h group (43.29±15.38 vs 67.33±11.47，P＜0.01；90.05±22.2 9 vs 117.90±30.32，P＜0.05；77.43±17.78 vs 105.69±28.79，P＜0.05 ；24.54±8.70 vs 32.70±10.87，P＜0.05, respectively). Incidence of myo cardial infarction (MI) was larger in VPBs≥30/h group than VPBs<30/h group. LVE F was the independent predictable factor in risk of ventricular arrhythmia with multinomial regression logistic analysis（B=0.119, P=0.032）. Co nclusion 　Our findings indicate that LVEF is an independent predictable factor i n risk of ventricular arrhythmia in coronary heart disease. Although HRV and MI history can not be used to predict VPB, significant difference is found between 2 groups. High-risk patients could be selected successfully when these data are considered in combination.
