OBJECTIVE:To study the protective effect of the injection of puerarin combined with salvianoli acid B(Sal B)on rats with myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (MIRI). METHODS:62 rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, model group,puerarin group(20 mg/kg)and puerarin(20 mg/kg)-Sal B group(mass ratio of 1:0.5,1:1,1:2,respectively),10 in each group. Except for sham operation group,rats in other groups were reduced for MIRI model. After 180 min of reperfusion, kinase(CK),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),superoxide dismutase(SOD),malondialdehyde(MDA)in serum and percentage of myocardial infarction size of rats were detected. RESULTS:Compared with sham operation group,CK,LDH,MDA levels in se-rum of rats in model group were obviously increased (P<0.01),SOD level was obviously decreased (P<0.01);and percentage of myocardial infarction size was obviously increased (P<0.01). Compared with model group,CK,LDH,MDA levels in serum of rats in each administration group were decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.01),SOD levels were obviously increased(P<0.05 or P<0.01),and indexes changed the most obviously in puerarin-Sal B group(1:1);percentage of myocardial infarction size was obvi-ously decreased(P<0.01),and the percentage of myocardial infarction sizes in puerarin-Sal B group(1:1)and group(1:2)were less than Puerarin injection group (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:Compared with Puerarin injection alone,puerarin combined with Sal B by injection can more effectively inhibit the cardiomyocyte injury and decrease myocardial infarction size after MIRI,with best efficacy when quality ratio is 1:1.

Objective To discuss the therapeutic methods and strategies of fractionated embolization in treating large cerebral arteriovenous malformation (cAVM). Methods During the period from May 2005 to May 2013 at authors’ hospital, endovascular fractionated embolization was performed in 35 cases with large cAVM. The lesions were located in the frontal lobe (n = 11), the parietal lobe(n = 8), the temporal lobe (n = 6), the occipital lobe (n = 4), the lateral temporal area (n = 2) and the deep white matter and basal ganglia (n = 4). The longest diameter of the lesions was 6 - 12 cm, with a mean of 7.23 cm. The number of supply vessels was 2 - 5. The lesions were drained by superficial veins in 13 cases, by deep veins in 9 cases and by both superficial and deep veins in 17 cases. The exit stenosis of the draining vein was seen in 3 cases, while the dilatation of the draining vein was found in 6 cases. Angiography showed that the lesions were situated at the right side in 16 cases and at the left side in 19 cases. Results A total of 297 times of embolization operating-process were carried out in the 35 patients, of which NBCA was used in 107, ONYX in 153 with, FuAiLe medical adhesive in 15, combination use of NBCA and ONYX in 9 and combination use of ONYX and FuAiLe medical adhesive in 13. No death occurred after treatment. After the first embolization, the residual malformation volume usually decreased to < 50%. The interval between the first and the second embolization was 1 - 3 months. Generally, two to four times of embolization were performed in each patient. Complete occlusion of the lesion was obtained in 26 cases, and sub - complete occlusion of the lesion (> 80%embolization) in 9 patients. Good recovery was achieved in all patients. After fractionated embolization, the volume of the cAVMs was decreased gradually and ultimate clinical cure was achieved, which laid the foundation for conducting further micro - neruosurgery or radiation therapy. Conclusion For the treatment of large cerebral arteriovenous malformation, fractionated embolization has reliable therapeutic effect. Therefore, this technique should be recommended in clinical practice.

Objective:To study the mutation frequencies of the exon 5 and the exon 8 of PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homology deleted on chromosome ten) gene in gastric carcinoma and investigate the relationship of the gene mutation and pathological differentiation and clinical stage.Methods:The mutation of exon 5 and exon 8 of PTEN gene was detected in 42 gastric carcinoma samples and the matched adjacent normal gastric mucosa with polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism(PCR-SSCP) method.The PCR products of mutant samples were analysed by DNA sequencing technique.Results:The mutation of PTEN was shown in 3 of the 42 gastric carcinoma tissues and in none of the adjacent normal tissues.The mutation rates of PTEN gene in poorly differentiated and well differentiated samples were 12.00% and 0,respectively (P0.05).The mutation rates of PTEN gene in clinical stage Ⅰand Ⅱ (5.88%) had no significant difference with that in clinical stage Ⅲand Ⅳ (8.00%) (P0.05).Conclusion:PTEN gene mutation occurs mainly in poorly differentiated gastric carcinoma tissues,and the mutation rate is not related to pathological differentiation and clinical stage.

Objectives:This study was designed to establish the modified method of cardiomyocytes culture in human fetal hearts. Methods:The human fetal heart cells of ventricular muscle were isolated by 0.2% trypsin and 0.1% collagenase and cultured primarily and passaged in Iscove's modified Dulbecco's medium(IMDM) in vitro by means of differential attachment technique.The changes in morphology,ultrastructure,viability,immunocytochemistry antibody staining and immunofluorescence antibody staining of human fetal heart cells were studied in culture. Results:The ratio of viable cells was 99% identified by trypan blue staining.The ratio of attachment cells was 95% after 24 h in culture.The cultured human fetal heart cells were roundness shaped,rod shaped,shuttle shaped,ellipse shaped,star shaped and bifurcate shaped with spontaneous contractility.The myocardial actin and myoglobin are identified in the cultured cells by immunocytochemistry antibody staining and immunofluorescence antibody staining.The ultrastructure of cells was similar to that of the cardiac tissue in vivo by electron microscopy.Human fetal heart cells after 20 d of primary culturing and after 5 d of passaged culturing were growed well. Conclusions:The method for isolating and culturing human fetal heart cells is successful and reliable.This model provides an effective experimental mothod for studying the mechanism of myocardial injury.

ObjectiveTo explore the characteristics of the cognitive changes in patients with lacunar infarction(LI) after carotid artery stenting(CAS).MethodsNeuropsychological tests were conducted in 43 patients with LI and carotid stenosis before and 1 month,6 months,12 months after CAS and the scores were compared with those of 41 healthy cases.ResultsCompared with control group,MMSE scores ( 26.33 ± 1.94),memory and executive function in therapy group lowered obviously.There was statistical difference (P＜ 0.05 or P＜ 0.01 ).Compared with before CAS,MMSE scores of 1 month (27.17±2.15),6 months (27.17 ±2.15),12 months (28.15±1.98) after CAS,memory and executive function in therapy group were all better obviously.There was statistical difference (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).ConclusionIn acute stage of patients with LI (with in 1 week),most cognitive impairment was severe. Most cognition disorders was improved to normal level 12 months after CAS.The mechanism may be associated with the improvement of chronic cerebral insufficiency.

Objective To evaluate the effect of three diamension-digital subtraction angiography (3D-DSA) or computed tomography angiography (CTA) on the patients with ruptured multiple intmcranial aneurysm (MIA). Methods A retrospective study on 21 patients with MIA was performed.After scanning with 3D-DSA or 3D-CTA, three-dimensional reconstruction of MIA was carried out by 3D workstation,then the diagnosis was decided and the treatment plan (endovascular treatment or microsurgery) was selected according to stereoscopic image of MIA. Results (1) 3D-DSA or CTA was performed in 21 patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH),it was revealed these patients carried with 48 aneurysms,including 35 small aneurysms (25 mm).Not only miero-aneurysms and small aneurysms could be precisely showed,also the size of aneurysmal neck,the relationship of the aneurysm and the parent vessel and contiguous branches by stereoscopic image.(2) According to the standard of classification,9 patients with MIA for gradeⅠ(42.9%),10 for gradeⅡ(47.6%),2 for gradeⅢ(9.5%),0 for gradeⅣ.Endovascular treatment was selected prior to microsargery for those high grade patients.In this group,17 patients with 40 aneurysms underwent endovascular embolotherapy with GDC coils.Twenty four anemysms were completely occlusioned,12 beyond 90%,4 were left without treatment because of their small size.In microsurgery group,3 aneurysrus were totally clipped,1 could not be found during operation.No any treatment was accepted in 2 patients with 4 aneurysms. Conclusions 3D-DSA or CTA,which is very useful for the diagnosis and treatment of MIA,could improve the accuracy of diagnosis of MIA and clearly show the stereoscopic image of MIA,also the relation of sac and parent artery.For those patients with high grade MIA,endovascular treatment was selected prior to microsurgery,pro re nata,used to combine with mierosurgery.

AIM: To systematic review the effectiveness of refractive multifocal intraocular lens ( MIOL ) ReZOOM vs diffractive MIOL ReSTOR in the treatment of cataract.
METHODS: Randomized controlled trials comparing refractive MIOL ReZOOM with diffractive MIOL ReSTOR were identified by searching CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMbase, WANFANG MED ONLINE, CMJD, SinoMed, and CNKI. Related journals also were hand-searched. Methodological quality of randomized controlled trials ( RCTs ) was evaluated by simple evaluate method that recommended by the Cochrane Collaboration. Data extracted by two reviewers with designed extraction form. RevMan software ( release 5. 2 ) was used for data management and analysis.
RESULTS:A total of 7 trials (846 eyes) were included for systematic review. Subgroup analyses were used according to different model comparison of ReSTOR MIOL. The results showed a significant difference in the mean of the best distance corrected intermediate visual acuity ( BDCIVA) in the ReZOOM MIOL group with WMD=-0.11, 95% CI (-0.16, -0.06) (P<0.0001). It showed a significantly difference in the mean of the uncorrected near visual acuity ( UCNVA ) , complete spectacle independent rate, halo rate and glare rate in the ReSTOR MIOL group with WMD= 0. 09, 95% CI (0. 05, 0. 14) (P<0-00001), WMD= 2. 62, 95%CI (1. 76, 3. 91) (P<0. 00001), WMD=1. 35, 95% CI (1. 15, 1. 60) (P=0. 0004) and WMD=1-29, 95% CI (1. 09, 1. 53) (P= 0. 003). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the mean of the uncorrected distance visual acuity ( UCDVA ) , the uncorrected intermediate visual acuity ( UCIVA) , the best corrected distance visual acuity ( BCDVA ) and the best distance corrected near visual acuity ( BDCNVA ) with WMD-0.03, 95% CI (-0.06, 0.01) (P=0.15), WMD= -0.04, 95% CI (-0. 09, 0. 01) (P=0. 10), WMD= -0. 01, 95%CI (-0. 04, 0-02) (P=0. 55) and WMD= 0. 06, 95% CI (-0. 06, 0. 17) (P=0. 32).
CONCLUSION: Patients implanted with ReZOOM MIOL can provide better BDCIVA; patients implanted with ReSTOR MIOL show better UCNVA, are less likely to appear light halo, glare and other visual adverse reactions; correction in spectacles cases, patients implanted with ReZOOM or ReSTOR MIOL have considerable performances in the far and near visual acuity.
