Objective To investigate the protective effects of daidzein (DD) on myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis induced by pressure overload in rats and to study its mechanism. MethodsMyocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis model of rats induced by pressure overload was prepared by constricting abdominal aorta. The operated rats were randomly divided into sham operated control group, aorta-constricted model group, and three DD groups (30, 60, and 120 mg/kg). Four weeks later, the heart-weight (HW), left ventricular weight (LVW), the ratio of HW/BW and LVW/BW (LVI), and the cardio-myocyte diameters (MD) after dying by HE color were measured. The content of collagen and nitric oxide (NO), the activity of calcineurin (CaN) and Na+, K+-ATPase, Ca2+-ATPase in the left ventricle were quantified with spectrophotometry. The angiotension Ⅱ (AngⅡ) in the left ventricle was messured with radioimmunoassay. Results In aorta-constricted model group, the ratio of HW/BW, LVI, and MD as well as the content of collagen and AngⅡ, the activity of CaN in the left ventricle was significantly increased, and Na+, K+-ATPase, Ca2+-ATPase activity and NO content in the left ventricle were obviously decreased. After treatment of the left ventricular with DD, NO content, Na+, K+-ATPase, Ca2+-ATPase activity were significantly increased, the content of collagen and of AngⅡ and the activity of CaN in the left ventricle and the ratio of HW/BW, LVI, and MD were significantly reduced. ConclusionDD has protective effects on ventricular remodeling in rats with myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis induced by pressure overload and its mechanism may be related to raising NO content and reducing the level of AngⅡ and the activity of CaN.

The distribution of the Na-K-2Cl co-transporter (NKCC1) in the cochlear K+ cycling pathway in cochlea and cochlear histological changes in the NKCC1 knockout mice were investigated. By using immunohistochemistry and toluidine blue staining, the localization of NKCC1 in cochlea of the C57BL/6J mice and the cochlear histological changes in the NKCC1 knockout mice were observed. It was found that the NKCC1 was expressed mainly in the stria marginal cells and the fibrocytes in the inferior portion of the spiral ligament in the adult C57BL/6J mice. Subpopulation of the fibrocytes in the suprastrial region and the limbus was also moderately immunoreactive. While in the cochlea of the NKCC1 knockout mice, Reissner's membrane was collapsed and scala media disappeared, accompanied with the loss of inner hair cells, outer hair cells and the support cells. The tunnel of Corti was often absent. All the findings suggested the localization of NKCC1 in the cochlea was closely correlated with cochlear K+ cycling. Loss of NKCC1 led to the destruction of the cochlear structures, and subsequently influenced the physiological function of cochlea.

Objective To observe the effect of inferior vena cava filter (IVCF) on prevention of bone cement implantation syndrome (BCIS). Methods Ten sheep were divided into 2 even groups, BCIS and LVCF intervention ones. First IVCF was implanted into the inferior vena cava through cervical vena-right atrium pathway under fluoroscopic monitoring to observe the influence of IVCF on BCIS. Then BCIS was es-tablished in the same sheep by compressing 10 mL of bone cement into a sheep medullary canal after mutilation of the left femur. Arterial blood pressure, heart rate, central venous pressure (CVP) and blood gas were monitored, while an ultrasonic device was utilized to monitor fat embolisms in the right atriums of the sheep. Oil red staining was performed to detect fat embolisms in pulmonary arteries after the sheep were executed. Results In BCIS group, dotted uneven resonances were found in the right atrium and right ventricle when the medullary canal pressure was increased to 120 mm Hg, indicating embolisms in the right chambers. The dotted resonances were increased to ponderous, snowflake-like ones as the medullary canal pressure climbed up. At the same time, blood pressure and Pa02 dropped significantly, the systolic blood pressure dropped to (80±11) mm Hg and PaO<.2> to the minimum 25 minutes after cone cement implantation. The heart rate and CVP increased continuously. The blood gas assay indicated respiratory and metabolic acidosis. The oil red staining showed bulk fat embolus in pulmonary arteries. But in IVCF group, the similar resonances were not observed throughout the surgery and the medullary canal pressure climbed to 400 mm Hg, reaching the maximum of our pressure gage range. The blood pressure, PaO2, heart rate and CVP did not change much compared to those before implantation. The blood gas and pulmonary oil red staining showed few changes either. Conclusion IVCF implantation can prevent the genesis of BCIS.
