Objective To evaluated the value of myocardial perfusion before delayed percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for predicting the recovery of systolic function of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods A total of 64 patients with AMI receiving delayed PCI treatment in the First People's Hospital of Foshan from January 2014 to June 2015 were selected.One day prior to delayed PCI,all of the patients underwent two dimensional strain to measure the longitudinal peak systolic strain (LPSS) of each left ventricular segment and the global longitudinal strain (GLS) of the left ventricle.The myocardial perfusion score (MPS) and the perfusion score index (PSI) were measured by myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE).Left ventricular myocardial perfusions were classified as good,reduced,or absent.The two dimensional strain measurements were again conducted at 6 months after the delayed PCI to assess LPSS and GLS.The change of GLS and LPSS between one day prior to delayed PCI and six months after delayed PCI was assessed by paired t-test.The differences of LPSS among good,reduced,or absent myocardial perfusion groups were analyzed by one-way ANOVA.LSD-t test was used to compare in pairs of groups that had different values.The correlations between PSI and GLS,MPS and LPSS were assessed by Spearman's rank-correlation test.Results The GLS of all patients were higher at six months after delayed PCI than at one day prior to delayed PCI [(-15.39±7.80)% vs (-12.44±8.38)%,t=14.398,P < 0.001].The LPSS of myocardial perfusion in good,reduced and absent groups at one day prior to delayed PCI were (-2.64±5.60)%,(-6.19±6.87)% and (-12.07±5.86)%,respectively.The LPSS of myocardial perfusion in good,reduced and absent groups at six months after delayed PCI were (-2.97 ± 4.93)%,(-11.38± 7.26)% and (-15.82 ± 5.97)%,respectively.The myocardial LPSS of left ventricular segment with good or reduced perfusion was significantly higher at six months after delayed PCI (t=13.013,10.821,both P < 0.001),but the LPSS of left ventricular segment with absent perfusion was similar to that of pre-PCI.Whether at one day prior to delayed PCI or six months after delayed PCI,there were significant differences in LPSS parameters among the three groups (at one day prior to delayed PCI,myocardial perfusion absent vs reduced or good,t=4.201 and 11.771,both P < 0.001;myocardial perfusion reduced vs good,t=12.561,P < 0.001;at six months after delayed PCI,myocardial perfusion absent vs reduced or good,t=9.714 and 15.646,both P < 0.001;myocardial perfusion reduced vs good,t=9.254,P < 0.001).The LPSS both at one day prior to delayed PCI and six months after delayed PCI in myocardial perfusion good group > those of myocardial perfusion reduced group > those of myocardial perfusion absent group.PSI was positively correlated with GLS at both one day prior to delayed PCI and six months after delayed PCI (r=0.69,0.72,both P < 0.001).MPS was positively correlated with LPSS at both one day prior to delayed PCI and six months after delayed PCI (r=0.49 and 0.45,both P < 0.001).Conclusion Myocardial perfusion before delayed PCI,monitored by MCE,is correlated well with myocardial systolic function,and may be used to predict the recovery of myocardial systolic function after delayed PCI.

Purpose To explore the predictive value of myocardial perfusion in assessing myocardial systolic function recovery after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI),in order to improve poor prognosis by early detection of myocardial no-reflow.Materials and Methods Forty nine patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who had received PPCI were chosen as subjects.All the patients underwent two-dimensional strain (2DS) images and resting real-time myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) within one week after surgery,and 2DS measurement was repeated after three months.2DS imaging was used to acquire longitudinal peak systolic strain (LPSS) at all myocardial segments.Based on the graphs of LPSS,left ventricular myocardium was divided into normal contractile function myocardium (red) and impaired contractile function myocardium (light red,blue).According to the myocardial perfusion scores (MPS) qualitatively assessed by MCE visual interpretation,the myocardia with impaired systolic function were categorized into three groups with different perfusion level.The changes of LPSS within one week and three months after surgery (△ LPSS) among the three groups were analyzed.The correlation between MPS and LPSS within one week and three months after PPCI was also analyzed respectively.Results The △ LPSS increased significantly among the three groups with the improvement of myocardial perfusion level [(-5.78±6.23)% vs.(-4.37±6.60)% vs.(-1.21 ±4.77)%,all P<0.05].The MPS measured one week after PPCI was both positively correlated with the LPSS detected within one week after surgery and that after three months (r=0.47,0.58,P<0.001).The consistence of myocardial perfusion scores given by two evaluators was good (Kappa=0.785,P<0.05).Conclusion The level of myocardial perfusion after PPCI in patients with AMI is closely related to regional myocardial systolic function,and the improvement of myocardial perfusion can forecast the recovery of regional systolic function.

Decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE) is a kind of new brominated flame retardants, which is widely used as a replace of decabromodiphenyl ether in electronic appliances, textiles and other goods. This review summarizes environmental levels and body burden of human beings of DBDPE in recent years. The data shows that the concentration of DBDPE in the environment and human tissues shows an upward trend. According to limited experiments about its toxicity, DBDPE shows similar toxicity to decabromodiphenyl ether. DBDPE can interfere thyroid hormones balance, and cause damage to liver, reproductive development, kidney, et al, which implies that DBDPE might be another new persistent organic pollutant. Further researches are needed.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a relentless, progressive, and presently incurable neurodegenerative disease. Its drug development has been hampered by the lack of effective biomarkers for early diagnosis, progression and prognosis. Recently, significant progress has been made for the identification of body fluid biomarkers for ALS, which conferred both theoretical and practical feasibility for the early diagnosis and progression monitoring. Meanwhile, it also facilitated identification of genes and/or pathways for the pathogenesis of ALS. This review summarized biomarkers identified from cerebrospinal fluid, blood and urine of ALS patients and their clinical implications.

Objective:This study aimed to investigate the effect of differentiation osteogenic bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (De-BMSCs) transplantation on the promotion of bone formation at the tendon-bone interface after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), and further explored the molecular mechanism of the enhanced osteogenic effect of De-BMSCs.Methods:BMSCs from femur and tibia of New Zealand White rabbit were subjected to osteogenic induction and then cultured in no osteogenic factor medium; the obtained cell population was termed De-BMSCs. De-BMSCs were induced into osteo-, chondro-and adipo-differentiation in vitro to examine the characteristics of primitive stem cells. ACLR model with a semitendinosus tendon were performed in 48 adult rabbits, three groups were established: control group with alginate gel injectionat the tendon-bone interface, BMSCs group with the injection of alginate gel containing BMSCs, De-BMSCs group with the injection of alginate gel containing De-BMSCs. At 4 and 12 weeks after surgery, rabbits in each group were sacrificed to evaluate tendon-bone healing by histologic staining, micro-CT examination, and biomechanical test. During osteogenic differentiation of De-BMSCs, si-RNA of nuclear factor of activated T cells 2 (NFATc2) si-RNA of nuclear factor of activated T cells 1 (NFATc1) were used to verify the molecular mechanism of enhanced osteogenic effect of De-BMSCs.Results:De-BMSCs exhibited some properties similar to BMSCs including multiple differentiation potential and cell surface marker. At 4 weeks after surgery, the BV/TV value of the De-BMSCs group 0.36±0.01 was significantly higher than that of the control group 0.24±0.03 and BMSCs group 0.30±0.02 (all P<0.05), and the maximum load 40.34±1.19 N and stiffness 20.67±2.14 N/mm were significantly higher than those in the control group 14.88±2.74N, 8.67±2.19 N/mm and the BMSCs group 26.31±1.76 N, 13.81±2.14 N/mm (all P<0.05). At 12 weeks after surgery, the BV/TV value of the De-BMSCs transplantation group 0.47±0.02 was significantly higher than that of the control group 0.30±0.02 and the BMSCs group 0.35±0.03 (all P<0.05), and the maximum load 64.46±6.69 N and stiffness 25.18±3.11 N/mm were significantly higher than those in the control group 41.01±6.12 N, 11.59±2.54 N/mm and the BMSCs group 48.21±4.12 N, 15.89±2.94 N/mm (all P<0.05). During the osteogenic differentiation of De-BMSCs, the expressions of Nanog and NFATc1 were synergistically increased which promoted interaction of NFATc1 and Osterix ( P< 0.05), resulting in the increased expression of osteoblast marker genessuch as COL1A, OCN, OPN (all P< 0.05). Conclusion:De-BMSCs transplantation could promote bone formation at the tendon-bone interface after ACLR,Nanog/NFATc1/Osterix signaling pathway mediated the enhancement of the osteogenic differentiation effect of De-BMSCs.
