We set up an animal model of acute hibernating myocardium isolated rat heart. which were perfused with human red blood cell-enhanced modified K-H buffer,were used. During ischemia,coronary flow were reduced to 20%. The results show: At 30 minutes of ischemia,left ventircular peak systolic pressure,+dp/dt max and - dp/dt max were decreased to 44% ,33% and 26% (P

AIM: To observe the inhibitory effect of recombinant human endostatin (rhES) on plaque angio-genesis, and to explore the regulatory mechanism of Dll4 /Notch pathway in the anti-angiogenic effect of rhES.METH-ODS: Male Wistar rats were randomized into 3 groups: normal control group (N group), atherosclerotic model group (AS group), and rhES treated group (AS +rhES group).The rats in N group were fed a normal diet, while the remaining 2 groups were established to atherosclerotic rat model via high-cholesterol diet, intraperitoneal injection of vitamin D3 and aor-tic balloon injury.The rats in AS +rhES group received intraperitoneal injection of rhES.The blood total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-1 (IL-1) and troponin I (TnI) were measured.The atherosclerotic abdominal aortas were taken for pathological observation.Immu-nohistochemical staining was used to measure the density of neovessels in the plaques, which were marked by CD31.The protein levels of Dll4 and Notch1 in the aortas were analyzed by Western blot.RESULTS: The levels of blood TC, TG, LDL-C, CRP and IL-1 in AS group and AS +rhES group were much higher than those in N group (P <0.05), and no sta-tistical difference between AS group and AS +rhES group was observed.The expression of CD31 in AS group was the high-est among all groups.Compared with AS group, the density of neovessels in the plaques of AS +rhES group decreased sig-nificantly (P <0.05).The protein expression of Dll4 and Notch1 in AS group was lower than that in N group (P <0.05). Compared with AS group, the protein expression of Dll4 and Notch1 increased significantly (P <0.05).CONCLUSION:rhES has the ability to inhibit plaque angiogenesis in rats.The activation of Dll4 /Notch pathway may be the mechanism of rhES in inhibiting plaque angiogenesis.

AIM: To evaluate effects of diltiazem on platelet hyperreactivity in situations associated with endothelial injury and their possible relationship to cytosolic calcium concentration. METHODS: Blood samples were collected at 7 time points from 35 patients undergoing percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) who received combined diltiazem and aspirin/ticlopidine therapy or aspirin/ticlopidine therapy alone. Platelet expression of glycoprotein Ⅱb/Ⅲa and cytosolic calcium concentration were measured, respectively, by whole blood flow cytometry and fluorospectrophotometry. The effects of diltiazem of different concentrations on expression of glycoprotein Ⅱb/Ⅲa were also studied in vitro in blood samples from patients with chronic stable angina. RESULTS: Of the two treatments, aspirin/ticlopidine therapy did not prevent an acute increase of expression of glycoprotein Ⅱb/Ⅲa 5 minutes and 10 minutes after first inflation and 10 minutes after PTCA, whereas combined diltiazem and aspirin/ticlopidine therapy had a significant inhibitory effect. In the group receiving aspirin/ticlopidine therapy, there was a short-term elevation of platelet [Ca~(2+)]i immediately following PTCA which was significantly reduced by diltiazem treatment. Expression of glycoprotein Ⅱb/Ⅲa was significantly inhibited in vitro by diltiazem in the concentration of 200 ?g/L or higher, but not 50 ?g/L. CONCLUSIONS: Combined diltiazem and aspirin/ticlopidine therapy significantly inhibited platelet activation that continued in the presence of conventional aspirin/ticlopidine treatment. Antiplatelet effects of diltiazem were probably a consequence of reduction of platelet [Ca~(2+)]i and may only be achieved in higher than therapeutic concentrations. [

Objective:To investigate the related factors affecting intraoperative blood loss in patients with spinal tumors undergoing preoperative selective arterial embolization.Methods:The clinical data of 90 patients with spinal tumors who underwent preoperative selective arterial embolization in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical College and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from January 2017 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The influencing factors of intraoperative bleeding were analyzed by using multiple linear regression.Results:There were statistically significant differences in intraoperative blood loss of spinal tumor patients undergoing preoperative selective arterial embolization with different blood supply abundance and the number of tumors involving vertebral body (all P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in age, gender, body mass index, interval after embolization, operation time, pathological type, tumor site, embolization degree, the number of embolized vessels, preoperative Frankel grade among different groups (all P > 0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the number of tumors involving vertebral body and tumor blood supply abundance were factors affecting intraoperative blood loss, and vertebra number and tumor blood supply were positively correlated with intraoperative blood loss (all P < 0.05). Conclusion:For patients with spinal tumors undergoing preoperative selective arterial embolization, the number of tumors involving vertebral body and the abundance of the tumor blood supply are factors affecting the amount of intraoperative bleeding.
