Objective To explore the possible mechanism by which thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) par?ticipated in early brain injury (EBI) of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) via examination of the expression of TXNIP and its downstream apoptotic factors before and after intervention. Methods Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH) was performed by endovascular perforation. Total 97 adult male SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups:sham-operation (17), SAH (32), control siRNA (12), TXNIP siRNA (12), resveratrol control (12) and resveratrol injection (12). Western blot was used to examine the expression of TXNIP, p-ASK-1, Caspase-3 before and after intervention. Laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) was used to detect the expression of TXNIP in neurons. The co-localization of TXNIP with apoptotic cells was examined by using fluorescent TUNEL. Mortality, behavior score and cerebral edema were also evaluated. Re?sults Mortality, behavior scores and brain edema were improved after TXNIP siRNA and resveratrol injection(P<0.05). LSCM showed that TXNIP was widely expressed in brain and mainly located in cytoplasm of neurons in SAH rats. Fluo?rescent TUNEL revealed the co-localization of TXNIP with apoptotic cells. The expression level of TXNIP was signifi?cantly higher in SAH group than in sham operation (P<0.05, n=3). The expression level of TXNIP gradually increased at 12h and still remained at high level at 72h (P<0.05). This increase was simultaneously accompanied by the increase in downstream apoptosis factors, p-ASK-1 and Caspase-3. Inhibition of TXNIP by siRNA or resveratrol significantly re?duced the expression of TXNIP, p-ASK-1 and Caspase-3 (P<0.05, n=3). Conclusion TXNIP gradually increases in ear?ly period after SAH and aggravates brain damage through activation of ASK-1 apoptosis signaling pathway, whereas inhi?bition of TXNIP may attenuate EBI through reduction of p-ASK-1 and Caspase-3 after SAH.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility, efficacy and safety of new nano material occluder of single rivet type (left-disk with no-hub) in treating ventricular septal defect (VSD) in order to provide experimental basis for clinical application. Methods A total of 26 healthy adult dogs were selected for this study . Under thoracotomy , VSD model was established through fluoroscopically-guided percutaneous puncturing of the right ventricular free wall. The models were randomly and equally divided into the study group(n=13, using nano material VSD occluder) and the control group(n=13, using double-hub nitinol occluder). Every two dogs from each group were sacrificed each time at one, 2, and 3 months after percutaneous closure of VSD with corresponding occluder, the tissue samples were collected and sent for gross examination as well as for the optical and electronic microscopy study;the blood concentration of nickel ion was also determined. The state of endothelialization after implantation of the new type occluder was evaluated, and the complications such as residual shunt and superficial thrombus formation were recorded. The results were analyzed. Results By open chest operation with small incision and percutaneous puncturing of the right ventricular free wall, VSD model was successfully established in all 26 dogs. The success rate of the implantation of the VSD occluder in the study group was 100%, while it was 91.7% in the control group. One, 2, 3 and 6 months after the implantation, the heart specimens of 25 dogs were removed and gross examination showed that neither occluder displacement nor alloy wire fracture occurred in both groups. No thrombus formation or vegetation attached on the disk surface was observed. One month after the procedure , in the study group the bilateral disk surfaces of the occluder were covered with thin layer transparent tissue , which were proved to be composed of the fibrous tissue and endothelial cells through pathologic and electronic microscopy study. Six months after implantation, the superficial tissue of the occluder became further thickened and the occluder edge became fused with the surrounding heart tissue. Conclusion The design of the new VSD nano materials occluder, which has a left-disk with no hub, is very scientific. Compared with double-hub nitinol occluder, the new device can shorten the time of complete endothelialization and effectively occlude the VSD. Therefore, this new nano material occluder has promising prospect in clinical application.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and safety of a delivery pathway for the performance of percutaneous left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion in experimental canine models. Methods Transseptal puncture was performed via femoral vein approach under fluoroscopic and angiographic guidance in 12 experimental dogs. A pigtail catheter was advanced into the left atrium (LA), which was followed by LA angiography. The diameters of the neck of LAA were measured on LAA angiogram obtained in appropriate projection. After the delivery sheath was advanced along the wire into LA, a pigtail catheter was inserted into the ostium of the LAA and the sheath was then advanced over the pigtail into the LAA. LAA angiography was then performed through the delivery sheath to confirm the position of the delivery sheath. One hour after the procedure both electrocardiography (ECG) and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) were carried out in five dogs to check the results, immediately after which the five dogs were sacrificed to macroscopically observe the damages of the puncture site of inter-atrial septum as well as inside the LA and LAA. One hour and 2 weeks after the procedure TTE was conducted in the remaining 7 dogs and these dogs were followed up for one month. Results One dog died of pericardial tamponade during the operation. In 8 dogs the LAA was clearly displayed in the projection position of right anterior oblique (RAO) 30°/cranial (CRA) 20°,while in 3 dogs the LAA was well visualized in the projection position of RAO 30° , and in one dog in the projection position of RAO 30°/caudal (CAU) 20°. The diameter of LAA neck was (13.6 ± 5.2) mm. The delivery sheath was safely advanced into the LAA along the pigtail catheter in all dogs, and no air embolism, thrombus or pericardial tamponade occurred. Hematoma at puncture point of groin occurred in 2 dogs, which was absorbed through pressure dressing. Macroscopic examination of the heart performed immediately after the operation showed that no bloody pericardial effusion was found, and mild hematoma at posterior wall of LA was seen in one dog and mild damage of the upper-margin intima of LAA was noted in 2 dogs. The mean fluoroscopy time was (10.1 ± 2.5) minutes and the mean operation time was (58 ± 12) minutes. TEE showed no pericardial effusion 2 weeks after the procedure. During the follow-up period of one month no sudden death, stroke or infection occurred. Conclusion This method of placing the delivery sheath into the LAA is clinically safe and effective, and it can reliably establish a pathway to advance the LAA occluder into LAA.
