Objective To study the effects of basic fibroblast growth factor gene in enhancing collateral vessel formation of coronary artery in the ischemic myocardium of swine.Methods All swines were distributed into the operation control group(n=6) and treatment group.The treatment group was further divided into 2 groups according to the route of injection either through the right coronary artery or the left coronary(n=6 respectively).The animal models of AMI were prepared by ligating the left circumflex(LCX) coronary artery.Two weeks after the operation,2?000 ?g of pcDNA_3-bFGF eukaryotic expression plasmid was directly injected into the coronary artery by catheter.Two weeks after the gene injection,evaluation of collateral circulation formation was made by means of coronary angiography and immuohistological staining ect.Results (1) Through immuotistological staining,the vessels count in both treatment groups was more than that in the control group;(2) Selective coronary angiography at 4 weeks after the operation showed that the number of newly formed collateral vessels in the bFGF gene treatment group was more than that in the control group.On the other hand,more collateral vessels were found in the group through left coronary injection compared with the group through right coronary injection.Conclusion Intra-coronary artery injection of bFGF gene can improve collateral vascular formation in the ischemic myocardium of swine.

Objective To assess myocardial contractility in essential hypertention(EH) of different remoldings by means of circumferential midwall fractional shortening (mFs), relation between mFs and circumferential end-systolic stress(mFs-cEss). Methods The eject fraction(EF), circumferential end-systolic stress(cEss), fractional shortening(Fs), mFs was calculated in 115 EH patients and 29 normal controls. Relations in mFs-cEss, Fs-cEss between the subjects were analysed with linear correlation and linear regression. Results In using EF,Fs,Fs-cEss to assess chamber function of the patients with hypertension of four left ventricular remoldings, it shows apart from eccentric hypertrophy, the rest three remoldings were overestimative. MFs assessing myocardial contractility in four remoldings was lower than that of the controls, especially obvious in concentric hypertrophy patients(P

Objective To study the expression of striatin(STRN) protein in brain tissue of paitents with drug-refractory epilepsy,and analyze the clinical significance of the expression.Methods Immunohistochemistry,immunofluorescence,cDNA array and Western blot were used to measure the levels of STRN cDNA and the protein in surgically removed temporal lobe tissues of patients with refractory epilepsy.Samples were retrieved from the brain bank of the authors' department(n=42),and the results were compared with that of the normal controls(n=12).Results STRN cDNA of STRN was abnormally expressed in the temporal cortex of the patients with epilepsy,the ratio of Cy5/Cy3 of STRN was 0.384.Moreover,the expression of STRN was significantly lower in neurons and glial cells of all epilepsy specimens.OD value in epileptic tissues determined by Immunohistochemical method was 0.310 8?0.108 7,which was significantly lower than that of control(0.421 0?0.120 2,P

Objective To study the effect of implanted stent or selected operation in patients with acute occlusion of right coronary artery during the emergency coronary arteriongraphy. Methods Forty-three patients with acute occlusion of right coronary artery who underwent the emergency coronary arteriongraphy were divided into two groups: the implanted stent group ( n = 23) during the emergency coronary arteriongraphy and the selected operation group (n =20) during the emergency coronary arteriongraphy . Then we observed the general data, the coronary artery pathological changes, preoperative and postoperative thrombus, the blood flow, remained stenosis and the prognosis. Results The implanted stent group was similar to the control group in general condition, but implanted stent group was significantly different from the control group in the near, intermediate and distal coronary artery pathological changes ( <0.05) . The control group was significantly different from the implanted stent group in the thrombus and slowly blood flow ( <0.05) . After three months, we reviewed coronary arteriongraphy and selected operation, The implanted stent group was significantly different from the control in the remained stenosis and slowly blood flow (<0.05) . But the implanted stent group was similar to the control groug in the thrombus and new proceeding cardiovascular events. Conclusion When thrombus appears in acute occlusion of right coronary artery, we can implant stent during the emergency coronary arteriongraphy if the thrombus is little, or we can select operation after PTCA on the contrary.

Objective To discusse the mechanism and clinical significance of bradycardia -hypotension phenomenon which is caused by vagal reflex during and after the RFCA and present the experience of using appropriate measures to decrease the incidence of this situation. Methods The patients who were suffering from tachyarrhythmias and treated by RFCA were divided into two groups. The groups were as follows:148 patients who were not taken special measures in the early stage were selected in control group;1 540 patients who were taken measures to prevent vasovagal reflex were selected in observation group. Result During the RFCA, the incidence of bradycardia -hypotension phenomenon in control group was 13.5% (20/148), the incidence of bradycardia-hypotension phenomenon in observation group was 5.0%(77/1540) (<0.01) .Conclusions The incidence of bradycardia-hypotension phenomenon caused by vagal reflex during the RFCA is related to catheter irritation to the heart,pressure on the vessels and hypovolemia. The incidence of this phenomenon can be decreased obviously by some measures,such as non-restricted diet before RFCA,discretion rehydration during and after the RFCA and hemostasis with appropriate force after extubation. The key to rescue patients successfully are early detection and timely processing.
