Objective To isolate and identify the putative Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) re-ceptors from C6/36 and Vero cells. Methods Molecules binding with JEV were isolated from C6/36 and Vero cells by co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) approach, identified by mass spectrometry, and detected by Western blot. The location of putative JEV receptor on cells membrane and the binding with JEV were ob-served by laser scanning confocal microscopy (LCM). Results Several molecules binding with JEV were isolated from C6/36 and Vero cells by Co-IP, and only one molecule was identified as heat shock cognate 70 (HSC70) by mass spectrometry. Antibody against HSC'70 was able to detect a 74 ×103 protein isolated by Co-IP from C6/36 and Vero cells membrane in Western blot assays. It was observed by LSCM that when JEV attached on the surface of C6/36 cells, JEV and HSCT0 protein were co-localization. Conclusion 74 x 103 molecular identified as HSC70 protein from C6/36 cells may be JEV receptor.

Objective To screen and identify effective small interfering RNA (siRNAs) targeting the conserved 5’ untrans-lated region (UTR) of the enterovirus 71 (EV71) genome. Methods Double-stranded siRNAs were designed to target the 5’UTR of the EV71 genome. The cytotoxicity effect of siRNAs on rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) cells was evaluated. The cytopathic effect on EV71-infected RD cells was observed under phase-contrast microscopy and the effective siRNAs were screened out by cell viability assay and real-time TaqMan RT-PCR assay. Results All the siRNAs did not exhibit any cytotoxic effects on the viability and growth of RD cells. Transfection of si-1 and si-2 targeting the 5’ UTR in EV71 genome into RD cells signiifcantly delayed and alleviated the cytopathic effects of EV71 infection, increased cell viability and reduced the EV71 RNA transcripts. And the inhibitory effect of si-1/si-2 on EV71 replication was sequence-speciifc. Conclusions The 2 siRNAs (si-1 and si-2) targeting the conserved 5’UTR of the EV71 genome may have broad spectrum antiviral effects on many epidemic EV71 strains.

Objective To evaluate the initial experience of intracoronary stenting in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in our hospital.Methods Ballon-expansion stents were deployed in 18 patients (male: 15, female 3, aged between 38-72 years old) with AMI after emergency PTCA. The major indications for intracoronary stenting in our present study include: 1) acute reocclusion or high risk of reocclusion due to intimal dissection; 2) severe residual stenosis (≥50% diameter stenosis) after repeat balloon dilation; and 3) obvious elastic recoil failed to response to repeat intracoronary nitroglycerin infusion. The dilating pressure for stent implantation was 12-18 atm with a dilating time of 10-30 sec. Patients were heparized during catheter maneuvers and were medicated with Ticlopidine (250 mg, twice daily) for 3 months and aspirin (250 mg, once daily) after stenting.Results 1) Coronary angiography (CAG) showed that all patients (n=18) had a single-vessel total occlusion (left anterior decending 9, right coronary artery 8, and left circuflex 1) before emergency PTCA and was successfully restored to TIMI 3 grade blood flow after intracoronary stenting (13 with Nir stent, 1 with Jonson and Jonson stent, and 4 with Cordis stent). 2) Minor residual intracoronary thrombosis was presented in 5 of 18 patients after PTCA, and it was totally disppeared after stenting; 3) One patient with inferior infarction developed Ⅲ degree atrioventricular blockade (AVB) and temporary pacemaker was introduced. This patient died of cardiac tamponade 6 h after stenting due to right ventricular perforation by electrode. No cardiac death, recurrent angina and reinfarction occurred during the 4-16 months follow-up peroid in the other 17 patients; 4) No angiographically restenois was found in all the 3 patients who had a secondary conronary angiography 4 weeks after stenting. 5) Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) determined with Doppler echocardiography 4 weeks after stenting tended to be improved but failed to reach significant difference as compared to the basal LVEF (43.27%±8.43% vs 40.58%±7.23%, P>0.05, n=17) measured within 24 h after the onset of chest pain.Conclusions These results suggest that intracoronary stenting is a highly effective strategy in prevention or treatment of acute reocclusion after emergency PTCA in AMI. Minor residual intracoronary thrombosis after balloon dilation was not a contraindication for stent implantation.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of carvacrol pretreatment on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and its underlying mechanisms.
METHODSWild-type male C57 BL/6 mice were randomized into 5 groups (n=13), namely the sham-operated group, vehicle (DMSO in saline)+ I/R group, carvacrol (20 mg/kg) + I/R group, carvacrol (40 mg/kg) + I/R group, and carvacrol (60 mg/kg) + I/R group. The mouse models of myocardial I/R injury were established by a 45-min occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) followed by reperfusion for 2 h. Carvacrol or vehicle was administered intravenously 15 min before LAD occlusion. After reperfusion, the mice were examined for myocardial oxidative stress level and apoptosis rate.
RESULTSCompared with the vehicle group, the 3 carvacrol-pretreated groups showed significantly reduced myocardial infarct size, oxidative stress level and cardiac myocyte apoptosis rate (P<0.01).
CONCLUSIONCarvacrol can protect against myocardial I/R injury by inhibiting myocardial oxidative stress and apoptosis in mice.

In the early 1990's, emergency percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) has been proven to be the best strategy for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). It has not only resulted in a higher vascular recanalization, but has also further reduced mortality and morbidity, and has greatly improved life quality of patients with AMI.Objective To investigate the effect of emergency PTCA in AMI.Methods Emergency PTCA was performed in 52 AMI patients (male: 43, female: 9) from October 1993 to December 1997 in our hospital. The patients were aged between 31-89 years (±s, 53.7±8.2). Among them, 25 had anterior infarction, 27 inferior infarction. Angiographically infarct-related vessels were left anterior descending artery (LAD) in 27 cases, right coronary artery (RCA) in 22, and left circumflex artery (LCx) in 3. The mean time from the onset of chest pain was 6.12±5.13 h (2-12 h). Primary PTCA (balloon angioplasty without previous thrombolytic therapy) was performed in 34 cases, and rescue PTCA (balloon angioplasty after previous thrombolytic therapy that had failed to restore blood flow) in 15 cases, and immediate PTCA ( balloon angioplasty after previous successful thrombolysis but with severe residual stenosis and reoccurring angina pectoris) in 3 cases. Only the infarct-related vessels was dilated during emergency PTCA which is similarto conventional balloon angioplasty. All patients were given aspirin of 250 mg/d and were heparinized during the first 3-5 days after PTCA. Ticlopidine (250 mg, twice daily) was also given for 3 months if patients had experienced intracoronary stenting.Results Emergency PTCA was successfully performed in 48 of 52 patients (33/34 in primary PTCA, 12/15 in rescue PTCA, and 3/3 in immediate PTCA) which accounts for the initial success rate of 92%. Intracoronary stents were implanted in 18 of the 48 patients due to the presence of different vessel complications. PTCA was failed in 4 patients (3 occurred in rescue PTCA, 1 occurred in primary PTCA). Among the patients, one died of acute pulmonary edema during the rescue PTCA procedure, one had acute reocclusion after rescue PTCA and died of acute pump failure within 24 h. Guiding wire failed to put through lesions in the other 2 patients. Mass intracoronary thrombosis was present in 5 of 34 patients after primary PTCA despite the restoration of TIMI 3 grade blood flow in the distal segment. The residual thrombosis disappeared after urokinase (500 000-1 500 000 IU) was infused into the culprit coronary.Conclusions Clinical studies have suggested that emergency PTCA is more effective in early reperfusion than that of thrombolysis in AMI. Though emergency PTCA is highly effective, but the initial success rate is lower than that of conventional PTCA with a higher complication and mortality. Thus it should be only steadily introduced into AMI.
