Objective To observe the changes of serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels in typeⅡdiabetic patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) before and after interventional therapy, and to investigate the effects of oxidative stress level and interventional treatment on serum SOD level. Methods During the period from July 2011 to December 2012 at authors’ hospital, a total of 40 patients with type Ⅱ angiography together with balloon dilation and/or stenting was carried out in 24 patients (group B, with Fontaine stage of Ⅱb - Ⅲ). Of the 24 patients in group B, lower limb arterial angiography together with balloon dilation was employed in 16 (group B1) and lower limb arterial angiography together with balloon dilation and stenting was adopted in 8 (group B2). Twenty healthy clinical subjects were used as control group (group C). Before interventional treatment, elbow venous blood samples of patients in group A and B were collected to determine serum lipid, HbA1c and SOD levels. The same tests were also carried out in the subjects of group C. During percutaneous lower extremity arterial intervention , through arterial sheath 3 ml arterial blood specimen was collected in all patients of both group A and B before intervention started. Twenty-four hours after the treatment, venous blood specimen was also collected in all patients to determine serum SOD levels. The results were statistically analyzed. Results Lower limb arterial angiography showed that no obvious arterial stenosis was seen in the patients of group A. The interventional procedures were all successfully completed in all patients of group B. SOD levels of group A, B and C were (46.1 ± 3.13)U/ml, (35.37 ± 3.58)U/ml and (60.50 ± 6.99)U/ml respectively. SOD levels of both group A and B were significantly lower than that of group C (t = 8.420, P < 0.01; t = 14.324, P < 0.01). The level of SOD in group A was significantly higher than that in group B (t = 10.092, P < 0.01). The ankle-brachium indexes (ABI) of group A, B and C were (0.70 ± 0.12), (0.58 ± 0.13) and (1.15 ± 0.07) respectively. ABI of group A and B was significantly lower than that of group C (t = 14.324, P < 0.01; t = 17.392, P < 0.01). ABI of group B was significantly lower than that of group A (t=3.027, P<0.05). SOD level bore a negative correlation with HbA1c level (r=-0.541, P<0.01). In both group A and group B, no significant difference in SOD level existed between the venous blood and arterial blood. The preoperative arterial SOD levels in group B1 and group B2 were (35.70 ± 3.04)U/ml, and (36.07 ± 2.14)U/ml respectively, and the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant. The preoperative SOD levels in the ischemic arterial region in group B1 and group B2 were (32.95 ± 3.52)U/ml and (33.59 ± 2.64)U/ml respectively, and the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant although these levels were significantly lower than the preoperative arterial SOD levels(t=2.741, P<0.05; t=2.704, P<0.05). After the interventional treatment, the SOD levels in the ischemic arterial region in group B1 and group B2 were (29.40 ± 5.49)U/ml and (26.68 ± 2.31)U/ml respectively, and the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant although these levels were significantly lower than the preoperative SOD levels in the ischemic arterial region (t = 2.536, P < 0.05; t = 5.005, P < 0.01). No statistically significant differences in SOD levels at each corresponding site existed between group B1 and group B2. Conclusion No significant difference in SOD level exists between the venous blood and the arterial blood. Serum SOD level carries a negative linear correlation with HbA1c level. Before interventional treatment , the SOD level in ischemic region is low, which becomes lower after the interventional procedure, which may be caused by the enhanced oxidative stress reaction that is resulted from the damage of the vascular wall due to interventional manipulations. The enhanced oxidative stress reaction may play an important role in the occurrence of restenosis.

Objective:To evaluate the safety of cardiac catheterization intervention therapy and transthoracic small incision surgery in the occlusion bydomestic occluder under echocardiography guiding in patients with atrial septal defect (ASD).Methods:A total of 1 080 patients with ASD in the occlusion by domestic occluder were analyzed retrospectively,and the interventional treatment were performed in 734 cases through cardiac catheterization intervention therapy and 346 cases through transthoracic small incision surgery.The patients undergone cardiac catheterization intervention therapy were guided under the digital substraction angiography (DSA) and were monitored by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in the whole interventional process,and the efficacy was evaluated with TTE.The occlusion of transthoracic small incision surgery was guided under the transesophageal echocardiography (TEE),which was used to monitor the position of occluder and evaluate the efficacy immediately.Results:Two kinds of intervention in the occlusion by domestic occluder had achieved satisfactory results in patients with ASD.There was no statistically difference in the longest size of ASD between the 2 intervention methods,while there were statistically differences in the ratio between ASD longest diameter and atrial septal length,and the size of the occlusion,and the disparity between the size of the occluder and ASD longest diameter (D value),respectively (all P<0.05).When the size of arithmetic mean of the ASD was <30 mm,the success rate of the 2 methods was both 100%.When the size of arithmetic mean of the ASD was ≥ 30 mm,the success rate was 100% in the transthoracic small incision surgery and 50% in the cardiac catheterization intervention therapy.Conclusion:Domestic occluder is safe.Compared with the imported one,its cost is lower.When the size of the defects is same,the occlusion is smaller in the transthoracic small incision surgery compared with that in the cardiac catheterization intervention therapy.When the size of arithmetic mean of the ASD is ≥ 30 mm,the success rate of the transthoracic small incision surgery is higher compared with the cardiac catheterization intervention therapy.When the cardiac catheterization intervention therapy fails,the transthoracic small incision surgery may be a better choice.

Background and purpose: Ursolic acid is widely present in spica prunellae, hedyotis diffusa and other heat antidotes. The growth of a variety of tumor cells can be inhibited and induced apoptosis by ursolic acid.This study was aimed to investigate the effect and possible mechanisms of UA on inducing apoptosis of human gastric carcinoma BGC823 cells. Methods: The MTT assay was used to detect the antiproliferative effect of UA on BGC823 cells. Flow cytometry was used to detect cell cycle and apoptosis of BGC823 cells. The expression level of bcl-2 and bax gene was investigated by real time-polymerase chain reaction (real time-PCR). Results: UA inhibited the proliferation of BGC823 cells in a dose and time-dependent way. After treatment by UA for 24. 48 and 72 h, the IC_(50) of BGC823 was 36.88, 34.72, and 32.18 μmol/L, respectively. UA could signifcantly induce apoptosis of BGC823 cells and block cells at G_2/M phase. UA could increase the expression of bax gene and decrease the expression of bcl-2 gene in a dose and time-dependent way. Conclusion: UA could induce apoptosis and inhibit the proliferation of BGC823 cells in a dose and time-dependent way. It could arrest cell cycle of BGC823 cells at G_2/M phase. Its mechanisms might be associated with the up-regulation of bax gene and down-regulation of bcl-2 gene.
