The article mainly makes an outline on five kinds of lipid-regulating drugs(except for statins)and their combined application.The fibrates is suitable for hypertriglyceridemia,mixed hyperlipemia(triglyceride increases more)and low high-density lipoprotein-cholesterinemia.Up to now,nicotinamide acid is known as the most effective drug for elevating HDL.Statins combined with cholic acid chelating agent or fish oil agent n-3 fatty acid has a good cooperative effect on lowering serum lipid.

Complications of vascular access are main component of vascular complication in percutaneous cardiovascular intervention.The common complications of femoral access may include hemorrhage and hematoma at access site,vasovagal reflex,pseudoaneurysm,arteriovenous fistula,retroperitoneal hematoma and deep venous thrombosis.The common complications of radial access may include radial artery spasm,radial artery occlusion,vascular injuries or hematoma at forearm and other sites,and osteofascial compartment syndrome.The common complications of ulnar and brachial accesses may include hemorrhage and hematoma at access site,upper limb and hand ischemia,and nerve injuries.Effective prevention and treatment of vascular access complications are key steps to minimize the incidence and hazards of vascular complications in percutaneous cardiovascular intervention.

Objective To investigate the changes of action potential duration (APD) and transient outward K + current (I to) and inward rectifier K + current(I K1) of ventricular myocytes after 3 weeks of myocardial infarction, and to inquire into the effect of bisoprolol. Methods APD was recorded with microelectrode. Ventricular myocytes were singly isolated from rabbit heart using modified Langendoff perfusion and soaked with collagenase. I to and I K1 of single rabbit ventricular myocytes were recorded by whole-cell path-clamp technique. Results Both APD 50 and APD 90 of the cell from noninfarcted region in MI group were markedly longer than that in sham group (P

0.05), while when the CARTO technology was used, the mean fluoroscopy time was significantly shorter (6.3?2.6min vs 16.2?7.0min,P

Objective To investigate the functional features of resveratrol on vasodilatation of abdominal aorta in rat and its underlying mechanism. Methods Isolated aortic ring was perfused and the tension of the vessel was measured. Results Resveratrol showed a dose-dependent relaxant effect on rat aorta at 4?10 -9～4?10 -5mol/L. At the concentration of 4?10 -5mol/L, the effect was attenuated by (74.9?1.9)% in the endothelium removal group, and it was significantly different from the control group (P0.05). At the concentration of 7?10 -5mol/L, resveratrol showed an relaxant effect on de-endothelium vessels. Conclusion Resveratrol relaxes the aorta in both endothelium dependent and independent manner. In the endothelium-dependent manner, the mechanism of vasodilatation may be associated with NO system and KATP channel, while in the endothelium-independent manner effect of resveratrol might be a direct one.

Objective To investigate the effects of constant magnetic field on secretion and expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) in human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) induced by angiotensin Ⅱ (AngⅡ). Methods The fourth to sixth passages of in vitro cultured VSMCs from human umbilical artery were used. The cells were divided into six groups, i.e. control group, AngⅡ (1?10 -6mol/L) group, Ang Ⅱ with exposure to 1, 5, 10 or 50 Gs of constant magnetic field groups. Samples were collected 12 hours after intervention. The secretion of VCAM-1 was assayed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the expression of VCAM-1 was assessed by immunocytochemistry. Results The secretion of VCAM-1 was increased significantly 12 hours after intervention with AngⅡ of 10 -6mol/L (P

Objective To investigate the effects of static magnetics on adhesion of neutrophil and endothelium and expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) on human umbilical vein endothelial cell(HUVEC). Methods HUVEC were exposed to 0.05mT, 0.1mT, 1mT static magnetics adhesion of neutrophil was calculated after HUVEC was stimulated by LPS. Flow cytometry and ELSIA were used to study expression of ICAM-1 on endothelium with stimulating of LPS. Results The adhesion of neutrophil l on HUVEC was attenuated by 0.05mT, 0.1mT static magnetics(58% vs. 40%, 38%, P

Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) has recently received much attention as a possible key determinant of progressive fibrosis. It promotes tissue fibrosis through different pathways, such as cell proliferation, extracellular matrix accumulation and cell transdifferentiation. A number of regulators of CTGF expression have been identified, including transforming growth factor ?, vascular endothelial growth factor, tumor necrosis factor ?, etc. The mechanism of profibrotic effect by CTGF was reviewed.

AIM: To explore the effects of tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-?) on inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)-nitric oxide (NO) system activity in arginine vasopressin (AVP)-induced rat cardiac fibroblasts (CFs). METHODS: CFs were isolated by trypsin digestion method. Nitrate reductase method, spectrophotometry and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were used to detect NO contents, NOS activity and iNOS mRNA expression, respectively. RESULTS: AVP significantly increased iNOS mRNA expression, NOS activity and NO contents in CFs. Combined with AVP, TNF-? enhanced the effects of AVP on iNOS-NO system activity in a concentration-dependent manner. However, if the concentration of TNF-? was too high, the iNOS-NO system activity did not increase accordingly, but slightly decreased instead. CONCLUSION: TNF-? stimulates iNOS-NO system activity in coordination with AVP in CFs. The enhancement of NO contents inhibits ventricular remodeling induced by AVP and TNF-?. [

Objective To explore the effect of arginine vasopressin(AVP) on proliferation and nitric oxide(NO) synthesis in rat cardiac fibroblasts(CFs). Methods CFs were isolated by trypsin digestion method. The effect of AVP on proliferation and NO synthesis were measured by MTT technique and nitric acid reductase method respectively. Results The MTT OD values of CFs increased in a concentration-dependent manner with the rising of the concentration of AVP and in a time-dependent manner with the prolongation of the culture time. For example, the MTT OD values of 10 -6 mol/L AVP group were higher than those of the control, and the MTT OD values of CFs cultured for 36h were significantly higher than those cultured for 6h when intervened with 10 -7 mol/L AVP. The content of NO of CFs displayed the same change as the MTT OD values. The contents of NO in 10 -7 mol/L and 10 -6 mol/L AVP groups were statistically higher than those of the contral group, 10 -9 mol/L AVP group and 10 -8 mol/L AVP group. The NO contents of CFs cultured for 24h and 36h were significantly higher than those cultured for 6h and 12h. Conclusion AVP can stimulate the proliferation of CFs and the synthesis of NO in neonatal rat. The enhancement of NO contents would inhibit CFs proliferation and myocardial fibrosis induced by AVP.
