Objective: To explore application value of brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) in physical examination in Shenyang district and its risk factors.Methods: A total of 1610 cases, who received regular physical examination in health management center of General Hospital of Shenyang Military Command and met enrollment standards, were selected.Bilateral baPWV and other indexes were measured in all subjects.Logistic regression analysis was used to assess relationship among age, body mass index (BMI), arterial blood pressure, blood biochemical indexes and baPWV.Results: Compared with women, there was significant rise in baPWV[(1361.03±244.72) cm/s vs.(1397.93±239.08) cm/s, P=0.003]in men.baPWV rose along with age increased despite male or female.Compared with normal baPWV group (<1400 cm/s), there were significant rise in age[(45.57±8.95) years vs.(57.07±10.50) years], BMI[(25.25±6.82) kg/m2 vs.(26.14±3.44) kg/m2], fasting blood glucose[FBG, (4.88±1.73) mmol/L vs.(5.43±2.02) mmol/L], low density lipoprotein cholesterol[LDL-C, (2.67±0.82) mmol/L vs.(2.84±0.77) mmol/L], total cholesterol[TC, (4.88±0.99) mmol/L vs.(5.13±0.98) mmol/L], triglyceride[TG, (1.73±1.65) mmol/L vs.(2.15±1.91) mmol/L], systolic blood pressure[SBP, (116.72±12.04) mmHg vs.(136.87±16.21) mmHg], diastolic blood pressure[DBP, (76.99±9.01) mmHg vs.(86.34±10.84) mmHg]and pulse pressure[PP, (39.72±8.32) mmHg vs.(50.53±14.17) mmHg]in elevated baPWV group (≥1400cm/s), P<0.01 all.Multivariable Logistic regression analysis indicated that age, FBG,TG, SBP, DBP and PP levels were independent risk factors for elevated baPWV (OR=1.549~5.943, P<0.05 or <0.01).Conclusion: In Shenyang district, baPWV is closely correlated with cardiovascular risk factors, and it possesses good application value in physical examination and early risk screening of cardiovascular diseases.

Objective To investigate changes of endothelin-1(ET-1) and endothelin-converting enzyme (ECE) in different time intervals after autograft vein implantation. Methods A model of autogenous vein graft was established by interposition of the jugular vein into abdominal aorta in 80 Wistar rats. RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry were employed to test mRNA and protein level of ECE, ET-1 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). Results Positive PCNA appeared at 6 hours after transplantation, with time reaching a peak at 1 to 2 week. ECE mRNA increased with time reaching a peak after 1-2 weeks and stabilizing around 8 weeks. ET-1 expression underwent similar tendence with ECE, reaching a peak after 1-2 weeks and stabilizing at 8 weeks at the protein level. Expression of ET-1 and ECE were closely related by the time pattern after vein autograft (r=0.975). Conclusions The process of intimal hyperplasia in its occurrence and pattern of change are related with dynamics of ET-1 and ECE. ECE may lead to intimal hyperplasia of the autografted vein through a passway of ECE to ET-1 to SMC.

A novel and sensitive HPLC-UV method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of twelve major compounds in Longdan Xiegan Pill.The chemical profile of the twelve compounds,including geniposidic acid(1),geniposide(2),gentiopicroside(3),liquiritin(4),crocin(5),baicalin(6),wogonoside(7),baicalein(8),glycyrrhizic acid(9),wogonin(10),oroxylin A(11)and aristolochic acid A(12),was acquired using high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector coupled with an electrospray tandem mass spectrometer(HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS).The analysis was performed on a Dikma Platisil ODS C18 column(250 mm×4.6 mm,5 μm)with a gradient solvent system of acetonitrile-0.1% aqueous formic acid.The validation was carried out and the linearities(r〉0.9996),repeatability(RSD〈1.8%),intra-and inter-day precision(RSD〈1.3%),and recoveries(ranging from 96.6% to 103.4%)were acceptable.The limits of detection(LOD)of these compounds ranged from 0.29 to 4.17 ng.Aristolochic acid A,which is the toxic ingredient,was not detected in all the batches of Longdan Xiegan Pill.Furthermore,hierarchical cluster analysis was used to evaluate the variation of the herbal prescription.The proposed method is simple,effective and suitable for the quality control of this traditional Chinese medicine(TCM).

Objcetive To investigate the protective effects of the nitroxides R-1 on human liver cells exposed to ionizing radiation.Methods Human liver cells L-02 were cultured and irradiated with 60Co γ-rays at the doses of 0,1,2,4,and 8 Gy,in order to screen the proper irradiation dose.WR2721 at the terminal concentration of 4 mmol/L was used as positive control.L-02 cells irradiated with 4 Gy were added with R-1 at the terminal concentration of 0.25 μmol/L at 30 min before irradiation or immediately after irradiation.MIT method was used to screen the proper conditions for follow-up experiment 72 h later.L-02 cell culture fluid was added with R-1 at the concentrations of 0,0.125,0.25,0.5,and 1 μmol/L,respectively for 30 min before irradiation at the doses of 0,1,2,4,and 8 Gy to ealculate clone formation rate at 10 d post-irradiation.L-02 cells were cultured and divided into 4 groups:control group without any treatment.drug group pretreated by 0.25 μmol/L R-1 only,irradiation group,irradiated at 4 Gy only,and drug + irradiation group with combination of 0.25 μmol/L R-01 and 4 Gy irradiation.The inverted microscopy and Hoechst 33258 staining and flow eytometry were used to observe the apoptosis of the cells at 24,48,and 72 h later.Results Nitroxides R-1 did not inhibit the viability of L-02 cell when its concentration was less than 1 μmol/L and it inhibited the L-02 cell growth when the concentration wu higher than 2 μmoL/L.The A value and colony formation rate of different concentration of R-1 groups were all higher than those of the irradiation group,and the effect of the 0.25 μmol/L drug concentration group was the most significant.Consequently,the concentration 0.25 μmoL/L was selected for follow-up experiment.Compared with the irradiation group,the L-02 cells of the pretreatment group showed solid adherence, increased refraction,clear outline,less apoptotic and dead cells at 4 Gy post-irradiation.Conclusions Nitroxides R-1 can protect the human liver cells from 60Coγ-ray induced injury effectively.The mechanism of its protective effect may be the reduction of apoptosis.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between the change of the aortomitral angle (AMA) with left ventricular systolic function in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) by echocardiography.Methods Thirty-one patients were enrolled in the ICM group,and 59 healthy subjects were selected as the control group.On the parasternal left ventricular long axis plane,AMA were measured at the R wave apex (R-AMA),J-point(J-AMA),ST-segment midpoint(ST-AMA),T-final wave (T-AMA)and P-final wave (P-AMA).The angle difference(⊿ θ) =AMAmax-AMAmin,the angle changing rate =⊿ θ/AMAmax.The global left ventricular longitudinal strain (GLS) and global circumferential strain (GCS) were obtained by 2D-speckle tracking echocardiography.Left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),left ventricular end-diastolic volume(LVEDV) and left ventricular end-systolic volume(LVESV) were measured using Simpson biplane method.Results The J-AMA was the largest in the control group,while the ST-AMA was the largest in the ICM group.The levels of LVEDV,LVESV and AMA in ICM group were significantly higher than those in control group,while LVEF,GLS,GCS,⊿ θ/AMAmax and ⊿ θ were decreased (P <0.05).In the control group,there was a correlation between T-AMA and LVEF (r =-0.349,P =0.007),and ⊿ θ was negatively correlated with GLS (r =-0.372,P =0.004).In the ICM group,⊿1 θ/AMAmax and ⊿ θ were correlated with LVEF (r =0.424,P =0.018;r =0.490,P =0.005).Conclusions AMA in ICM patients is significantly increased.The angle difference and the rate of its change are closely related to the LVEF,which is a manifestation of three-dimensional structure change of the myocardial.
