BACKGROUND: The inflammatory reaction occurs following implantation of cardiovascular stent with manifestations of the activation of blood coagulation system and dramatically increasing of inflammatory markers serum C-reactive protein. OBJECTIVE: To explore the changes of inflammatory reaction and C-reactive protein in coronary artery disease patients following cardiovascular stent implantation.METHODS: A computer-based online search of CNKI (1990/2009) and PubMed databases (1990/2009) was performed for related articles with the key words "cardiovascular stent, C-reactive protein" in Chinese and "cardiovascular stent on plasma, C-reactive protein" in English.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Based on the metal stents, drug-eluting stents can transfer the active drugs to the damaged vessels, release them into the vascular wall and inhibit the in-stent restenosis, Main drugs of anti-inflammatory drug-eluting stent include dexamethasone and methylprednisolone. Main drugs of anti-migratory and anti-proliferative drug-eluting stent includerapamycin, paclitaxel and actinomycin D. Main drugs of supporting intima concrescence stent include estradiol. Coronary artery stents implantation can induce and aggravate local inflammation reaction, which have important infection for vascular endodermis hyperplasia and restenosis occurrence. Some impressible index for inflammation reaction, such as levels of C-reactive protein,have predictive value for vascular events following the coronary artery stents implantation. A significant increase in plasma C-reactive protein after coronary stenting has been observed following stent implantation. Therefore, understanding of inflammatory reaction and C-reactive protein, as well as cytokine changes is important for preventing restenosis, early treatment of restenosis, as well as improving treatment effect.

Objective To explore the efficacy of closed reduction and inter na l fixation of cannulated screws by minimally invasive procedure in management of tibial plateau fractures. Methods From October 1999 to January 2002, 42 patient s with tibial plateau fractures, which were 29 males and 13 females with an aver age age of 41 years ranging from 26 to 67 years, were treated surgically in our hospital. According to Schatzker system, the fractures were diagnosed as type Ⅰ in 9, type Ⅱ in 5, type Ⅲ in 13, type Ⅳ in 3, type Ⅴ in 6 and type Ⅵ in 6. There was open fracture in 5, and closed fracture in 37. The fracture fragments of tibial plateau were reduced with closed manipulation or reduced assisted by minimally invasive procedure. The later by minimally invasive procedure included two kinds of reductions, one of which was reduction assisted by Kirschner pin t hat was introduced percutaneously into the larger fragment; the other was reduct ion assisted by a bone tamper that was introduced through a small incision into the cortical window beneath the depressed articular surface. Fixation was achiev ed using percutaneous 6.5 mm cannulated screws or combination of the cannulated screws and Bastiani external frame in unstable fractures. Results Of 42 patients , 37 were followed up from 6 to 30 months (average, 15 months). All 37 fractures were united within 12 weeks postoperatively. The mechanical axis of affected li mb and the stability of affected knee joint were restored in the patients. Accor ding to Sanders score for functional results of knee joint, 13 patients were rat ed as excellent, 20 good, and 4 fair. Anatomical reduction was identified while the stepping of articular surface after reduction was less than 2 mm. In 21 pati ents with anatomical reduction, the functional results were excellent in 8, good in 11, and fair in 2. However, in 16 patients without anatomical reduction, the functional results were excellent in 5, good in 9, and fair in 2. There was sig nificant difference between the two groups on functional results. There were no postoperative complications such as infections and neurovascular bundle. Conclus ion Closed reduction and fixation through minimally invasive procedure has provi ded satisfied results in tibial plateau fractures such as less complications, ex cellent mechanical axis restoration, and ideal functional recovery.

Objective To study mutagenic effects of spaceflight on physiological and biochemical parameters of Rhodobacter sphaeroides and select high-yield mutants in co-enzyme Q10(CoQ10) production for providing the experimental and theoretical basis for industrial production through mutagenic effects of spaceflight.Methods Variations in stress resistance and CoQ10 production of isolated strains were studied,the strain Rhodobacter sphaeroides was taken back by a recoverable satellite after 15 d flight in space.Results Compared to the control,the strain was characterized by highter NaCl tolerance and higher stress resistance,as well as with broader scope in growth temperature and pH value after spaceflight.The mutant colonies appeared white or pink which was different from their original red.The CoQ10 production of mutant 10 strain was increased by 73.13% much higher than that of control.Conclusion Spaceflight mutagenic effects on Rhodobacter sphaeroides shows to be multi-factor compared to the traditional single-factor mutagenesis methods.It can enhance stress resistance and increase CoQ10 production of isolated strains,and can be utilized in industrial microbial mutagenesis and breeding in the future.

Objective To study the correlation of CT perfusion imaging ( CTPI) of induced rat breast cancer with tumor pathological grade and microvascular density ( MVD) ,and the diagnostic value of CTPI for breast cancer. Methods Breast cancer was induced in 35 Wister male rats with intragastric 7,12-dimethyl-1,2-benzanthracene ( DMBA) treatment. Routine breast CT scanning and CTPI were performed. After processed at a workstation,CTPI parameters were obtained including blood flow ( BF) ,blood volume ( BV) ,mean transit time ( MTT) ,permeability surface ( PS) ,and time density curve ( TDC). The rats were sacrificed and breast tumor tisue samples were collected. Breast tumor tisue samples were stained with HE and factor Ⅷ-related antigen immunohistochemistry to observe the pathological type and MVD of tumor. Results Breast tumor was successfully induced in 30 rats ( including 8 with breast hyperplasia and 22 with breast cancer). The BF and BV were higher in rats with breast cancer than in those with breast hyperplasia 151. 72 ? 93. 43 vs 42. 96 ? 32. 42 ml/( min.100 g) ,9. 55 ? 7. 88 vs 2. 17 ? 1. 36 ml/100 g,P 0. 05). The positive correlation of MVD with BF,BV and PS was increased with the decreased tumor differentiation with a correlation coefficient of 0. 701,0. 441 and 0. 521,respectively ( P

The biochemical study of the nutritional status of 101 healthy pregnant women and cord blood samples showed that maternal serum protein, albumin, hemoglobin (Hb), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn) and calcium (Ca) were decreased, and serum transferrin and copper (Cu) were increased in the course of gestation.Correlation coefficients and stepwise regression analysis suggested that the concentrations of serum protein, Fe, Zn, Ca,Hb were positively correlated with the intake of calories, proteins, animal foods (especially fish and meats), Ca and vitamin C.The concentration of cord blood Ca,Zn and Fe were found highly related to the maternal serum levels in the late stage of pregnancy (P

Eight parameters about iron nutrition were observed longitudinally in eighty pregnant women from the first trimester to delivery. Their nutrients intake were recorded at the same time. It was noted that serum iron store (ferritin) decreased markedly in the course of pregnancy and the incidence of iron deficiency increased. Total iron intake was closely related to the variation of these parameters, the degree of iron deficiency in pregnant women and the content of cord ferritin. Iron in maternal serum is correlated to ferritin in the cord blood. It suggested that natural food abundant in iron, or food fortified with iron should be taken in early pregnancy to prevent iron deficiency of mothers.

A longitudinal study was carried out on zinc, copper, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium status of 104 normal primigravidas. The five elements in serum and hair of the mothers and their newborns were estimated with inductive coupled plasma emission spectroscopy. The results showed that the concentration of serum zinc, calcium, magnesium decreased gradually while copper and phosphorus increased remarkably in the course of pregnancy. The serum copper and phosphorus of cord blood were lower, zinc and calcium were higher than that of mothers' blood. The contents of hair zinc, copper, and phosphorus showed no differences but calcium and magnesium decreased gradually during pregnancy. Except that the level of copper in the newborns' hair was much lower, other elements were much higher than that in the mothers' hair.

BACKGROUND: Intramyocardial transplantation of autologous umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells for repair of myocardial tissue damage is paid increasing attention in the cardiovascular field. OBJECTIVE: Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were isolated and cultured. Passage 2 human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were treated with various concentratins of 5-azacytidine (2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80 μmol/L) for 24 hours . After removal of 5-azacytidine, cells were cultured for another 4 weeks. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Before 5-azacytidine treatment, filament-like structures or particles were not observed in the cells, but the amount of cytoplasm was less and uniform, nuclear/cytoplasm ratio was high, cells exhibited typical fusiform appearance and grew in a swirl-like manner, and nucleolus was obvious. After treatment with 5-azacytidine for 24 hours, some cells died in each group, and typical fusiform appearance turned into stick-like or column-like appearance, especial y in the 40 and 80 μmol/L 5-azacytidine groups. Reverse transcription-PCR results showed that atrial natriuretic peptide and α-skeletal actin gene expression levels were detected on human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells after treatment with 2.5 or 40 μmol/L 5-azacytidine for 4 weeks or with 5, 10, 20 μmol/L 5-azacytidine for 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks. These findings suggest that 5-azacytidine-induced human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells express the specific gene of myocardiocytes.
