Objective To build finite-element models of cerebral hemorrhage on which a simulation study of electrical impedance tomography(EIT) is based.Method With a kind of four-layer concentric circle model of head,finite-element method and dynamic NOSER algorithm are performed to reconstruct the images.Result As to the single-focus model of the cerebral hemorrhage,the focus can be clearly imaged,while to the several-focus model,the focuses can be imaged with vaguely adjacent boundaries.Conclusion The dynamic NOSER algorithm is an effective method to image cerebral hemorrhage in EIT.

AIM:To investigate the effect of resveratrol on the apoptosis of endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) induced by tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tBHP) and the underlying mechanisms.METHODS:Total mononuclear cells were isolated from peripheral blood by density gradient centrifugation, and the cells were cultured on fibronectin-coated culture dishes.After 4 d of culture, attached cells were divided into control group, tBHP group, and resveratrol plus tBHP group (pretreated with resveratrol for 24 h and then cultured with 100 μmol/L tBHP for 6 h).The proliferation and migration abilities of the EPC were assessed by MTT assay, BrdU incorporation assay and modified Boyden chamber assay.The proportion of apoptotic EPC was determined by flow cytometry after staining with fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated Annexin V and propodium iodide.The level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was determined by H2DCF-DA method.Caspase-3 activity was assay using a caspase-3 colorimetric assay kit.The protein levels of cleaved caspase-3, Bcl-2 and Bax were determined by Western blot.RESULTS:Resveratrol decreased EPC apoptosis induced by tBHP in a dose-dependent manner.Moreover, resveratrol increased the proliferation and migration abilities of the EPC.Resveratrol decreased intracellular ROS level, caspase-3 activity and the protein level of cleaved caspase-3.Resveratrol also decreased protein expression of Bax and increased protein expression of Bcl-2.CONCLUSION:Resveratrol attenuates EPC apoptosis induced by oxidative stress, and its mechanisms may be related to protecting the mitochondrial function.

Objective To investigate the relationship between HBV polymerase gene mutations and HBV genotypes in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients resistant to adefovir dipivoxil (ADV).Methods Blood samples were collected from 114 ADV-resistant CHB patients during February 2010 and May 2012.The HBV polymerase regions from serum samples were amplified with real-time PCR,and the PCR products were sequenced.Normal distribution data were presented as x ± s,and non-normal distribution data were presented as M (P25-P75) ; for homogeneous data analysis of variance and LSD-t test were performed.Results There were 8 types of HBV polymerase gene mutations in 114 CHB patients; single point mutation was detected in 102 patients (89.47％) and double or triple points mutations were detected in 12 patients (10.53％).rtA181V/T/S (57.89％),rtN236T (14.91％) and rtA181V/T/S + N236T (9.65％) were the predominant mutations.For 21 patients (18.42％) with HBV genotype B,rtN236T mutation was prevalent (47.62％,10/21) ; while for those with HBV genotype C (93,81.58％),rtA181V/T/S mutation was the predominant (65.59％,61/93).The differences of rtA181V/T/S (x2 =12.269,P ＜0.01) and rtN236T (x2 =18.658,P ＜0.01) mutation rates between B and C genotypes were statistically significant.Conclusion rtA181V/T/S,rtN236T and rtA181V/T/S + rtN236T are the major HBV polymerase gene mutation types in ADV resistant CHB patients,and mutation types are related with HBV genotypes.

ObjectiveTo assess the characteristics of left ventrlcular ( LV) systolic syncnrony before and 6 days after percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation(PTSMA)in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) using two dimensional speckle tracking imaging(2DSTI),and to investigate correlation between the LV systolic synchrony and LV outflow-trace gradient (LVOTG).MethodsLVOTG were measured before and 6 days after PTSMA in 21 patients with HOCM.The two dimensional loop-cinec were obtained in three levels of the short axis views of LV (mitral valve,papillary muscle and cardiac apex).The time from the onset of QRS complexes to systolic peak strain from the radial vectors (TRs) was recorded using 2D-STI.The standard deviation of the TRS of 18 segments (TRsSD) were calculated as indicator of LV systolic synchrony.Results Six days after PTSMA,LVOTG decreased significantly from (84.3 ± 19.1)mm Hg to (40.6 ± 8.3)mm Hg( P ＜0.01).TRS of the base and middle segments of anteroseptal were prolonged dramatically( P ＜0.05) 6 days after PTSMA compared with that before.There were no significantly differences in TRs-SD of LV between before and 6 days after PTSMA ( t =1.03,P ＞ 0.05).Decreased LVOTG correlated moderately to prolonged TRS of the base segments of anteroseptal ( r =0.657,P ＜0.05).Conclusions2D-STI can detect exactly the characteristics of LV systolic synchrony before and 6 days after PTSMA in patients with HOCM.

Objective To analyze the causes of inappropriate discharge of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) in elderly patients and to discuss the corresponding solutions.Methods Totally 95 elderly patients with ICD were collected.They were followed up and the inappropriate ICD discharges were recorded and analyzed.Results All patients were followed up for 235 times/year totally.There were 16 patients with inappropriate ICD discharges.The causes of inappropriate ICD discharges included ventricular oversensing in 7 patients (43.7％),supraventricular tachycardia misclassified into ventricular tachycardia in 4 patients (25.0％),electrode fracture in 2 patients (12.5％),and electromyogram (EMG) interference,electromagnetic interference and electrode fracture with EMG interference in 1 patients respectively (6.3％ each).11 inappropriate ICD discharges were reduced and avoided by reprogrammed and noninvasive treatment in 16 patients.1 patient with the underdetected ventricular fibrillation after reprogramming and the problem was solved by external defibrillation.The other 5 patients got better by the invasive treatment.Conclusions Different causes account for inappropriate discharges in patients with ICD.Reprogramming the corresponding parameters in different ICD can reduce or avoid inappropriate discharges without affecting the sensitivity of ICD.

AIM: To determine the relevance of NADPH oxidase subunit p22hox and the expression of superoxide anion on ventricular remodeling in myocardial infarction (MI) rats. METHODS: MI of Sprague-Dawley rats were established by left anterior descenting coronary artery ligation. 8 weeks after MI, Doppler echocardiography, hemodynamic study and histomorphometry were performed to analyze the ventricular remodeling. The level of thiobarbituric acid reactive substance in plasma and myocardium were measured, and the distribution of superoxide anion was observed with laser scanning confocal microscope. The expression of p22phox mRNA and protein level was detected by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: The left ventricular remodeling was significant in MI rats, also the level of thiobarbituric acid reactive substance increased in the plasma and non-infarcted myocardium. The expressions of p22-phox mRNA and protein levels, and superoxide anion increased in infarcted and non-infarcted myocardium in MI rats. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that the expression of NADPH oxidase and its derived superoxide anion may take part in left ventricular remodeling through oxidative stresss after MI.
