Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of emergency percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome(ACS).Methods A total of 233 patients(emergency group) were treated with emergency PCI within 48 h of heart attack and another 152 patients(delayed group) were treated with PCI after 3-14 days of medical therapy.All culprit lesions were treated.Procedural success rate,the time from admission to angina relief,the length of hospital stay and cardiac events incidence in 30 days were observed.Results The procedural success rates for the emergency group and the delayed group were similar(98.1% vs 95.5%),but cardiac events incidence in 30 days was significantly lower in the emergency group than that of the delayed group(2.9% vs 14.1%,P

Objective To have a systemic review of the association between relative ratio in proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Methods A search in Medline and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) was performed,and relevant English and Chinese-language articles about assessing AD with 1 H-MRS were identifed.The data of relative metabolic ratios (NAA/Cr,Cho/Cr,mI/Cr ) from different brain regions (hippocampus,posterior cingulate gyrus,temporal lobe,parietal lobe,frontal lobe,occipital lobe) were extracted from the articles.The quality of the articles was evaluated according to the standard recommended by Newcastle-Ottawa criteria. The Meta-analysis was done with the Review Manager 4.2 to calculate pooled weighted mean difference (WMD) with 95％ confidence interval (95％ CI ),and linear correlation analysis between NAA/Cr ratio and mI/Cr ratio was done by SPSS 17.0.Results Thirty six articles (27 English articles,9 Chinese articles) were included. After heterogeneity test was done,fixed effects model or random effects model was selected. The meta-analysis showed that the NAA/Cr ratio in patients with AD was higher than that in controls ( WMD:-0.14,95％CI:-0.17 to -0.11 ).The mI/Cr ratio in patients with AD was lower than that in controls ( WMD:0.10,95％ CI:0.07 to 0.13 ).There were greatest changes in NAA/Cr ratio and mI/Cr ratio on the hippocampus ( WMD of NAA/Cr: - 0.27,95％ CI:- 0.36 to - 0.19 ; WMD of mI/Cr:0.21,95％ CI:0.10 to 0.33). There were also no differences between patients with AD and controls with respect to the Cho/Cr ratio (WMD:0.01,95％ CI:0.00 to 0.01,P ＞0.05). The NAA/Cr and mI/Cr changes are markedly correlated with each other in different brain regions ( r =0.947,P =0.004). Conclusion The hippocampus region is the first to present neuropathological changes in AD and the changes of NAA/Cr and MI/Cr might reflect the neurodegenerative process of AD.

Aim To explore the effect of N-acetyl-L-cysteine ( NAC ) on β amyloid peptide 25 - 35 ( Aβ25-35 )-induced the increase of calpain activity and its possible mechanism. Methods The activity of cal-pain was induced by 20μmol·L-1 Aβ 25-35 in primary cortical neuron. Neurons were incubated in the absent or present Aβ25-35 , or pre-incubated NAC ( 10 mmol ·L-1 ) , then co-incubated with Aβ25-35 . The meas-urement of calpain activity, H2 O2 level and mitochon-drial membrane potential was performed on a micro-plate fluorometer. The ATP level was detected using a luciferin/luciferase based ATP assay kit. Results In Aβ25-35 treated group, the activity of calpain and H2 O2 was obviously higher than that in control group. How-ever, in neurons pre-incubated in NAC and then co-in-cubated in Aβ25-35 , the calpain activity and H2 O2 level were significantly decreased compared with that in Aβ25-35 group. Upon Aβ25-35 exposure for 12 h, corti-cal neurons showed a significant decrease in mitochon-drial membrane potential and ATP level when com-pared to the control group. Pre-treatment with NAC showed an increase in mitochondrial membrane poten-tial and ATP level as compared to neurons treated with Aβ25-35 alone for 12h. Conclusion This result sug-gests that NAC can attenuate calpain activity induced by Aβ25-35 through protecting mitochondria.

Objective To search for the methods of inducing the high stability rat middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model and to noninvasively assess the method of model effect. Methods Six kinds of filaments with different diameters were used to induce rat MCAO models and their success rate, incidence of subarachnoid hemorrhage, and infarct volume were compared. The model scores were performed to assess the model effect after the operation and at 24 hours after reperfusion. Results Higher model success rate and lower incidence of subarachnoid hemorrhage were achieved when the 0. 28 mm in diameter and 0.32-0.34 mm in tip diameter filaments were used. 1he sensibility and specificity were higher when the model scores were performed at 24 hours after reperfusion. Conclusions Using the filaments of 0.28 mm in diameter and 0. 32-0. 34 mm in tip diameter for intraluminal thread could improved the stability of the models. The model scores at 24 hours after reperfusion could noninvasively assess the model effect.

BACKGROUND: The functional gene fragments integrate into gene vector, which is then transfacted into target cells or joint cavity, through the transgenic target cells continue to secrete a large number of functional gene product, local therapeutic concentrations could be maintained within a long period of time, thus repairing articular cartilage injury. OBJECTIVE: To transfect rabbit articular chondrocytes using recombinant retroviral vector-mediated transforming growth factor-βl (TGFβ_1) in vitro, and to observe its expression and its effect on biological characters of chondrocytes. METHODS: Rabbit chondrocytas were isolated by use of trypsin digestion method. Vector was PLNCX_2 Hind Ⅲ/Not Ⅰ doubly digested and dephosphorylated, connected with some multiple cloning sites and RFP gene following pDsRed_2 double digestion, to build PLNCX_2-RFP. TGFβ_1 gene was amplified from the PGEMT-TGF and connected with PLNCX_2-RFP following double digestion, to build PLNCX_2-TGFβ_1-RFP. Subsequent to packaging retroviral vector, viral supernatant titer was detected. The cultured and transfected chondrocytes in rabbit knee joint were divided into 3 groups: control group (without any transfection), transfected PLNCX_2 group and transfected PLNCX_2-TGFβ_1-RFP group, continued screening 2 weeks to observe the cellular changes. Cell supematant transfected stably were collected for detecting the effect of gene transfection on the chondrocytes with NO detection kit, ELISA assay was applied to determine human TGFβ_1 expression in cell culture supernatant. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The recombinant gene PLNCX_2-TGFβ_1-RFP was identified correct sequence by the enzyme digestion sequencing TGFβ_1 and RFP, which showed that the eukaryotic expression vector PLNCX_2-TGFβ_1-RFP had been successfully built as expectation. They were then transfected into packaging calls and cultured, the virus titer was defined as 1×10~6 CFU. Following stable transfection of cartilage cells, red fluorescence can be observed, proving successful transfection. After continuous screening 2 weeks, the scattered adherent calls formed positive clones, and gradually diffusely integrated, cell clusters appeared with common dual cores, the calls proliferated actively. NO concentration in the transfected PLNCX_2-TGFβ_1-RFP group was higher than that of transfected PLNCX_2 group (P < 0.05), no difference was significant between control group and transfected PLNCX_2 group. The control group and the group transfected PLNCX_2 showed no TGFβ_1 expression, while TGFβ_1 concentration was (28.08±3.73) ng/L in the transfected PLNCX_2-TGFβ_1-RFP group. PLNCX_2 ratroviral vector-mediated human TGFβ_1 can be effectively transfected into rabbit knee joint cartilage cells and obtain stable expression, while the transfected cartilage calls proliferate actively.

AIM:To construct GSK3?-overexpressed SH-SY5Y cells and to observe the effects of GSK3?-overexpression on tau protein phosphorylation and tubulin acetylation in SH-SY5Y engineered cells. METHODS: The cDNA of GSK3? construct was subcloned into mammalian expression vector pBudCE4.1. The integrity of the GSK3? construct was confirmed by sequence analysis. GSK3? was transiently transfected into SH-SY5Y cells using Lipofectamine2000. Western blotting was used to measured protein levels of GSK3? and phosphorylating GSK3?, as well as, the total tau and phosphorylated tau protein and acetylated tubulin. RESULTS: 36 h after transfection, the levels of GSK3? and phosphorylating GSK3? in SH-SY5Y cells were significantly increased compared with non-transfection group and vector group. After 48 h, the levels of phosphorylated tau protein (Ser199/202, Thr231 and Thr205 residues) but not total tau protein were markedly increased in GSK3?-overexpressed SH-SY5Y cells. In addition, the level of acetylated tubulin was lower than that in non-transfection group and vector group. CONCLUSION: The over-expression of GSK3? in SH-SY5Y cells results in robust increases in tau protein phosphorylation at Ser199/202, Thr231 and Thr205 residues, and decreases in tubulin acetylation.
