BACKGROUND:It is unclear whether short-term high-intensity interval training (HIT) can be used to protect against myocardium injury after acute myocardial infarction, as wel as the underlying mechanism.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of short-term HIT on the ventricular remodeling and mitochondrial content after acute myocardial infarction, and the biological effect of mitochondrial biogenesis and autophagy in this process.
METHODS:Male Sprague-Dawley rats were modeled into acute myocardial infarction by ligating coronary artery. One week later, HIT was performed:each interval consisted of 4-minute high-intensity running (80%of maximal oxygen consumption) and 3-minute active recovery (40%of maximal oxygen consumption), for 4 consecutive weeks of 5 days each week, repeated 7 cycles.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Four-week HIT after acute myocardial infarction could markedly enhance left ventricular pump function and mitochondrial content, improve mitochondrial membrane potential and ATP synthetic activity, inhibit mitochondrial reactive oxygen species generation, up-regulate PGC-1α/Tfam induced mitochondrial biogenesis and Bnip3/Beclin-1 induced autophagy. These results indicate that short-term HIT can improve normal mitochondrial content after acute myocardial infarction, which in turn ameliorates myocardial systolic property and energy metabolism. As a cardiac rehabilitation method, HIT exhibits fine timeliness.

Objective To investigated the different effect of moderate-intensity continuous training (MCT) and high-intensity interval exercise training (HIT) on ventricular remodeling and mitochondrial homeostasis after acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods The AMI rat model was achieved by ligating coronary artery.The AMI and sham operation rats were randomly (random number) divided into four groups:sham operation group (Sham),AMI control group (AMI),AMI MCT group (AMI + M),and AMI HIT group (AMI + H).Animals in the AMI + M and AMI + H groups underwent 4 weeks MCT and HIT respectively.Five weeks after AMI,hemodynamic changes,mitochondrial bioenergetics,and PINK1,Beclinl,Mfn2,Drp1,Tfam,COXⅣ,PGC-1α were detected.Results Comparing with AMI group,in AMI + M and AMI + H groups,Beclin1,PINK1,Mfn2 and PGC-1α expression elevated significantly (P ＜0.05 or P ＜0.01),whereas ROS generation and Drp1 expression showed dramatic decrease (P ＜ 0.05 or P＜0.01).In addition,in AMI + H group,±dp/dt max,mitochondrial membrane potential,ATP synthesis activity,Tfam and COXⅣ expression improved significantly (P ＜ 0.05).Comparing with AMI + M group,in AMI + H group,± dp/dt max,PGC-1α,Tfam and COX Ⅳ expression improved significantly (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions HIT is superior to MCT for ameliorating ventricular remodeling and mitochondrial homeostasis after AMI.

BACKGROUND: Recent literatures have showed that percutaneous kyphoplasty can effectively avoid nerve damage, pulmonary embolism, and insufficient vertebral height and other security risks when bone cement is infused into affected vertebrae in percutaneous vertebroplasty. OBJECTIVE: To compare the effect of percutaneous kyphoplasty and percutaneous vertebroplasty in repair of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. METHODS: A total of 106 patients with senile osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures were randomly divided into trial group and control group (n=53 per group). Patients in the trial group were treated with percutaneous kyphoplasty, and those in the control group treated with percutaneous vertebroplasty. Al patients were fol owed up for 6 months after repair. The vertebral compression deformation, bone cement distribution, midline vertebral bone cement condition, vertebral height restoration, bone cement leakage, vertebral kyphosis, progressive spinal col apse, nerve damage, as wel as visual analog scale scores and Oswestry disability index scores in these two groups were compared. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the control group, there was less bone cement leakage and vertebral compression deformation in the trial group. Moreouer, in the trial group, bone cement distributed uniformly, vertebral height restoration was good and effective, pain was obviously relieved, and the probability of vertebral kyphosis, progressive spine col apse and nerve damage was significantly reduced (al P < 0.05). These results suggest that percutaneous kyphoplasty can effectively relieve the pain of patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, restore vertebral body height and reduce the incidence of complications, which effectively guarantees the postoperative restoration of motor function.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the distribution process of puerarin contained in Zige freeze-dried powder injection in rat liver and kidney and the safety of Zige freeze-dried powder injection.

METHODRats were divided into the Zige freeze-dried powder injection group and the puerarin freeze-dried powder injection control group randomly. The liver and kidney samples were collected at 5, 10, 20, 30, 45, 60 and 120 min after intravenous administration of puerarin (26.7 microg x g(-1)) through caudal vein and detected by HPLC.

RESULTThe concentration of puerarin in kidney reached the max value of 58.12 microg x g(-1) for the Zige freeze-dried powder injection group and 71.28 microg x g(-1) for the Puerarin freeze-dried powder injection group. The value of AUC(0-2h) was 26.24 microg x h x g(-1) for the Zige freeze-dried powder injection group and 35.24 microg x h x g(-1) for the puerarin freeze-dried powder injection group, MRT(0-2h) was 0. 39 h for the Zige freeze-dried powder injection group and 0. 42 h for the puerarin freeze-dried powder injection control group. Compared with the control group, the Zige freeze-dried powder injection group showed a significant decrease in Cmax and AUC(0-2h) (P < 0.05), with no notable difference in peak time tmax and MRT(0-2h). The two groups showed no obvious difference in tmax Cmax, AUC(0-2h) and MRT(0-2h) of puerarin in rat kidney.

CONCLUSIONCompared with Zige freeze-dried powder injection, Zige freeze-dried powder injection can reduce the distribution of puerarin in rat kidney, with no obvious change in the elimination of puerarin in rat kidney. It also showed no significant change in distribution and elimination in liver. This indicates that Zige freeze-dried powder injection is safer to kidney than puerarin freeze-dried powder injection.

To explore the effects of extract of selenium-enriched Astragalus membranaceus(ESAM)on insulin resistance(IR)in streptozotocin(STZ)diabetic rats. In this study, type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)was established; ESAM and pioglitazone were used to intervene T2DM model rats; the general condition of rats in each group was observed, and body weight and fasting blood glucose(FBG)were recorded before modeling and after modeling. At the end of the fourth week, the blood and liver tissues of each group were collected. The total cholesterol(CHOL), triglyceride(TG), high-density lipoprotein(HDL), low-density lipoprotein(LDL)in blood were detected by biochemical detector; ELISA was used to detected content changes of blood fasting insulin(FINS), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin-6(IL-6), C-reactive protein(CRP), interleukin-1β(IL-1β); Western blotting was used for the detection of insulin receptor substrate protein 1(IRS1), phosphorylated IRS1(p-IRS1), nuclear factor κB inhibitor kinase β(IKKβ), phosphorylated IKKβ(p-IKKβ), c -Jun N-terminal kinase(JNK), phosphorylated JNK(p-JNK)protein changes. Results showed that compared with the blank group, the body weight of the model group was significantly decreased. FBG, CHOL, TG, LDL, TNF-α, IL-6, CRP, IL-1β in the blood and p-IRS1, p-IKKβ, p-JNK in the liver was increased significantly; after intervention, pioglitazone, ESAM can reverse the body weight of the model rats and the changes of the above cytokines and proteins. In conclusion, ESAM can reduce the expression of inflammatory cytokines in T2DM rats, inhibit the increase of free fatty acids(FFA), decrease the activation of IKKβ and JNK phosphorylation in surrounding tissues, activate insulin pathway and improve the IR effect of T2DM.
