The index of EC ICAM 1 and PMN CD 11b positively expression increased remarkably in Class 2-3 compared with that in Class 1 and control. The index of PMN CD 18 expression in Class 2-3 and Class 1 was greatly higher than that in control ( P

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness that gelatin lines the injured vasuclar wall to prevent from restenosis.Methods: The animal model of restenosis was established by balloon dilation in femoral artery,and 30% gelatin was lined on injured vascular wall in experimental group.The samples were collected at the 2nd week and 4th week after operation.The neointimal area(NEA),neointimal area/media area(NEA/MA)and cell apoptosis were observed by image analysis system and TUNEL technique. Results: The intima of the control group was thicker than that of the experimental group,and more cells appeared in the control group.Compared with the control group,the NEA was reduced significantly in the experimental group at the 2nd and 4th week (0.67?0.25cm 2 vs 1.02?0.41cm 2,and 1.18?0.36cm 2 vs 1.46?0.15cm 2).The NEA/MA ratio in the experimental group was lower than the control group at the 2nd and 4th week(0.35?0.05% vs 0.54?0.14%,and 0.62?0.25% vs 0.75?0.10%).The apoptosis rate of vascular smooth muscle in the experimental group was higher than the control group at the 2nd and 4th week(18.2?5.8% vs 13.6?2.4%,and 15.1?2.1% vs 13.0?1.5%).These diffences were all significant (P

The two groups had few complications and had no recurrence in one year .Conclusion As a minimally invasive treatment for vari-cose veins ,endovenous radiofrequency treatment has less trauma ,rapid recovery ,safe and effective ,and it is worthy to be recommen-ded .

Objective To discuss the endothelial cell which was modified by exogenous anticoagulant genes contribute to the increase of antithrombosis activity of lined vascular prosthesis and the influence to other physiological functions of endothelial cells. Methods This summarized paper was made on literature review of recent years.Results The transfection of genes, including plasminogen activator (t-PA, u-PA, Urokinase), thrombomoduline (TM) and hirudin, etc, to endothelial cells resulted in not only the increase of antithrombosis activity of local vascular, but also the decrease of endothelial cell function in adherence and proliferation.Conclusion The increase of antithrombosis activity of lined vascular prosthesis has been done by exogenous genes. However, this technique ought to be studied, intensively.

Objective To investigate the irradiating effect of low intensive microwave(LIM) on pathological process of blood vessel restenosis(RS) and assess the probability of LIM irradiation to prevent was used RS.(Methods Forty-four) male healthy New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into 2 groups.Fogarty catheter traumatize to the tunica intima of iliac artery so as to establish RS models.Two thousand four hundred and fifty MHz microwave with different power of 2,5 and 10 mW/cm~2 was used,locally to irradiate EIA in irradiating group(1 h/d).Specimens were obtained at different time of 3,7,14 and 28 d after operation.Morphological changes of tissues were observed with HE and EF staining and the area of tunica intima,tunica media and the rate of cavity stenosis were analyzed with image analysis system;apoptosis was detected with TUNEL;phenotype and microstructure of VSMC were observed with TEM.Results After microwave irradiating,inflammatory reaction in early period was suppressed,mural thrombus decreased,the proliferation and migration of VSMC depressed,the area of tunica intima and the rate of cavity stenosis obviously reduced comparing with the control group(P0.05).At other different time,however,the rate of apoptosis cells in irradiating groups obviously increased than that of the control group(P

ObjectiveTo explore the diagnosis and management of acute deep vein thrombosis(DVT) of lower extremity. Methods The clinical data of 96 patients with DVT were analysed retrospectively. ResultsThe diagnosis rate of DVT by vascular color ultrasounography was 97.8%, by MVC/SVO ratio combi ned with air plethysmagraphy was 97.2%, and by ECT was 100%. The MVO/SVC ratio, and diameter of calf and thigh in surgery group and in non surgery group showed significant difference in 7 days after operation (P

AIM: To provide experimental evidence for gene therapy of thrombophilia disease, we constructed the eukaryotic expression plasmid with human thrombomodulin (hTM) gene and observed the alteration of hTM expression on the surface of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) with and without the reconstructive plasmid. METHODS: The whole expressive fragment of hTM gene was amplified by PCR from human genome. Both hTM gene and pcDNA3.1(+)/neo empty vector was digested by HindⅢ and EcoRⅠ. Two digested fragments were ligated into pcDNA3.1/hTM with T_4DNA ligase. After identifying, the reconstructive plasmid transfected into HUVECs using lipofectin. The hTM antigen on the HUVECs was detected by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: The hTM reconstructive plasmid was confirmed by double endonuclease redigesting and sequencing. About 10% HUVECs were transfected by pcDNA3.1/hTM plasmid with lipofectin and the high-level hTM was detected on the transfected cells. CONCLUSION: We constructed the pcDNA3.1/hTM plasmid successfully, and it could be expressed on the HUVECs. [
