Objective To investigate the cerebral protective effect of anti-intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (anti-ICAM-1) antibody (1A29) in rats with global cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Methods Forty healthy SD rats weighing 180-200 g were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n = 10 each) : group Ⅰ received isotype-matched control antibody 1 mg/kg iv (control group); group Ⅰ ,Ⅲ ,Ⅳ received 1A29 1 mg/kg iv before cerebral ischemia (group Ⅱ), at the onset of reperfusion (group Ⅲ) and at 4 h of reperfusion (group Ⅳ) respectively. The global cerebral I/R was produced by 30 min four-vessel occlusion followed by 24 h reperfusion. All animals were killed at 24 h of reperfusion. Their brains were removed for microscopic examination and measurement of W/D weight ratio, infarct size and neurological deficits (0 = no deficit,4 = unable to crawl with mental depression) .Results The PMN leukocyte and monocyte infiltration, water content of the brain and infarct size were significantly decreased in group Ⅱ ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ as compared with control group. The neurological deficit scores were significantly lower in group Ⅱ ,Ⅲ, Ⅳ(1.6-1.8) than in control group (2.5).Conclusion 1A29 antibody administered either before ischemia or during the 4 h of reperfusion can protect the brain against global cerebral I/R injury.

Aim To study the interference role of Bcl-2 siRNA on HL-60 cells. Methods Bcl-2 siRNA was synthesized in vitro transcription with silencer siRNA construction kit. The synthesized siRNA was transfected into HL-60 cells with lipid siPORT transfection. Forty-eight hours after the transfection, we used MTT and immunofluorescence to detect cell proliferation and apoptosis,and used RT-PCR and immunofluorescence to detect the level of Bcl-2 mRNA and Bcl-2 protein expression. Result Bcl-2 siRNA reduced the level of Bcl-2 mRNA and Bcl-2 protein expression in HL-60 cells and induced cell apoptosis. There was no difference on the effect of other groups compared with the control. Effective Bcl-2 siRNA specifically degraded Bcl-2 expression in the levels of mRNA and protein and induced HL-60 cells apoptosis.Conclusion These results indicate that siRNA is a highly specific tool for targeted gene knockdown. siRNA-mediated gene silencing is a reliable approach for large-scale screening of gene function and drug target validation.

Objective To explore the feasibility of evaluating cardiac structure, coronary artery,pulmonary artery and cardiac function in one single scan by 320-row CT ECG-gated double phase cardiac function scan mode. MethodsForty patients underwent the 320-detector row CT double phase cardiovascular angiography. The pulmonary phase and aortic phase were reconstructed in order to evaluate the pulmonary and coronary artery. MPR reconstructions of both pulmonary and aortic phase were used to analyze the function of the two ventricles. And the results of the cardiac function were compared with those of transthoracic echocardiography. Thirty-five cases could be analyzed and diagnosed, while the other 5 cases had to be given up because of the poor imaging quality. The mean heart rate was (71.2 ± 11.2) beat per min (bpm). No arrhythmia case included. Results ( 1 ) Pulmonary embolism were diagnosed in 11 cases,coronary artery disease (CAD) were found in 5 cases, while post-stent implantation were observed in 7 cases. Six cases of congenital heart disease were diagnosed with 3 ASD and 3 primary pulmonary hypertension. Another one was diagnosed with left atrial myxoma, and 5 cases were pulmonary embolism associated with CAD. All of above cases were verified by final clinical diagnosis. (2) The heart function parameters including LVEDd , RVEDd, LVESd, RVESd and LVEF were (36.7 ±3.3), (43.3 ± 3.4) mm,(31.6±5.1), (41.3 ±5.1) mm and (47.1 ±15.1) for CT, while those were (40.3 ±3.1), (47.3 ±4.2) mm,(37.3 ±5.6), (45.3 ±3.3) mm,and (46.0 ± 14.8) for ultrasound, respectively. The CT results were correlated with the ultrasound ( n = 35, r = 0.886-0.988, P < 0.01 ). (3) The average radiation exposure was ( 5.4 ± 0.5 ) mSv. Conclusions 320-row CT ECG-gated double phase cardiac function scan mode is feasible for the "one-stop-shop" examination of the cardiovascular disease. This noninvasive method is recommended for the diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of cardiovascular disease.

Objective To evaluate the combination of dual-energy CT angiography (DE-CTA) and dual-energy CT peffusion (DE-CTP) in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. Methods Thirty-one patients with angina pectoris were examined using dual-source dual energy CT and conventional coronary angiography. For DE-CTA, we used a contrast-enhanced ECG-gated coronary scan protocol with energy levels of two tube detector arrays at 140 and 100 kVp. Two kinds of acquired images were fused for the CT angiogram and further calculated to construct a perfusion map (Siemens DE Heart PBV). The compared the following results: DE-CTA vs. CA, DE-CTP vs. CA to assess the sensitivity and specificity, and further compared DE-CTA plus DE-CTP with CA. Results DECT obtained diagnostic image quality in 28 patients.DE-CTA detected 41/112 arterial stenosis. Using CA as a reference, the sensitivity of DE-CTA was 81%(38/47), specificity was 95% (62/65), positive predictive value was 92% (38/41), negative predictive value was 87% (62/71), and accuracy was 89% (100/112). DE-CTP detected 46 perfusion defects in artery territories. Using CA as a reference, the sensitivity of DE-CTP was 76% ( 36/47), specificity was 85% (55/65), positive predictive value was 78% (36/46), negative predictive value was 83% (55/66),and accuracy was 81% (91/112). DE-CTA plus DE-CTP diagnosed 52 arteries stenosis. Using CA as a reference, combination of DE-CTA and DE-CTP gave sensitivity of 95% ( 45/47 ), specificity of 89%(58/65) , NPV of 97% (58/60), and accuracy of 92% (103/112). Conclusions DECT can provide perfusion blood volume information as well as vessel pathology in one scan. DECT can provide comprehensive diagnosis and improve diagnosis of CAD.

Objective To compare the difference of cutpoint and clinical significance of HbA1C for the diagnosis of abnormal glucose metabolism in two population groups with different ages.Methods According to oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT),the cutpoint and clinical significance of HbA1C for the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and impaired glucose regulation(IGR)were investigated in the two population groups.Results The mean HbA1C of 1 064 young subjects in an academy and 1 671 aged subjects in a community were 5.31% ±0.41% and 5.79% ±0.71%,respectively.The cutpoints of HbA1C for diagnosis of diabetes were 5.7%(specificity 86.7%,sensitivity 66.7%)and 5.9%(specificity 73.8%,sensitivity 80.1%)in the two population groups,and 5.6% for diagnosis of IGR (specificity 82.8%,sensitivity 55.8%)and 5.7%(specificity 60.9%,sensitivity 64.3%),respectively.87.8%,78.7%,and 38.5% were diagnosed diabetes by current OGTT criteria at HbA1C levels of ≥5.7%,≥5.9%,and≥6.5%,IGR being 61.6%,39.6%,and 4.1%,and normal glucose tolerance being 24.4%,10.0%,and 0.4%.Conclusion The cutpoints of HbA1C for diagnosis of diabetes and IGR are different in populations with different ages and HbA1C levels.As one of diagnostic criteria for diabetes,HbA1C 6.5% with relatively higher specificity and lower sensitivity must be combined with fasting blood glucose,random blood glucose,and OGTT.
