Objective To investigate the effect of bone marrow derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPC)transplantation on microenvironments in a murine model of chronic vein thrombosis.EPCs transplantation was evaluated whether it can up-regulate thrombus organization and recanalization associated cytokines(VEGF,ANG-1 and MCP-1). Method EPCs from immature Wister rats' bone marrow were isolated using a Ficoll density gradient centrifugation,and cultured in fibronectin-coated plate in EGM-2M Vmedium.EPCs were harvested on the 10th day,then were transplanted into chronic inferior vens cava thrombus of adult Wister rat through the femoral vein.Rats were divided into three groups:blank control group(group A,sham operation),the control group(group B,the medium injected)and the experimental group(group C,EPCs injected).The rats were sacrificed after 28 days.VEGF,ANG-1 and MCP-1 mRNA was measured by real-time quantitative PCR and protein expression change by Western blotting from IVC and thrombus tissue. Results EPCs were identificated successfullv by immunohistochemistry,immunofluorescence and function,then were transplanted into chronic inferior vena cava thrombus of adult rats.After EPCs transplantation,the VEGF,ANG-1 and MCP-1 mRNA expression in group C expression was significantly up-regulated with statistical significance(P<0.01)compared with group A and group B in IVC and thrombus tissue by real-time PCR.There was no significant difference between group A and group B (P>0.05).VEGF,ANG-1 and MCP-1 protein expression were similar to mRNA expression.There was significant increase in group C compared to group A and group B(P<0.01)and no statistical significance between group A and group B(P>0.05).Conclusion EPCs deriving from bone marrow may change the microenvimnment of chronic vein thrombus through up-regulating thrombus organization and recanalization associated cytokines(VEGF,ANG-1 and MCP-1).

Objective To discuss the surgical and interventional treatment of vascular injuries. Methods Clinical data of 85 patients with vascular injuries were retrospectively studied by grouping. Location of injury included jugular vein, vertebral artery, main extremity vessels and superior mesenteric artery. There were 25 patients with traffic injury and 60 with stah injury, of whom 62 patients underwent surgical operation (vascular grafting were performed in 37 and vascular repair in 25) and 23 received in-tervention therapy. Results There were one death and one amputation. Fifty-eight patients were fol-lowed up, which showed that all patients had good vascular patency. Conclusions Prompt and correct diagnosis is very important for treatment of vascular injury. Interventional treatment had merits of minor trauma, short operation duration, simple manipulation and quick postoperative recovery. Surgical opera-tion and endovascular intervention can be used together in treating vascular injury.

Objective To discuss the methods and the efficacy of interventional treatment of vascular injuries. Methods From January 2006 to March 2008, interventional therapy was performed in 13 cases of vascular injuries including injuries of internal jugular vein, subclavical artery, axillary artery,inferior vena cave, abdominal aorta, superior mesenteric artery, arteria iliaca, vena iliaca and femoral artery.Types of these injuries included arteriovenous fistula in 3, vascular rupture complicating haematoma in 4,pseudoaneurysm in 3 and arterial stenosis ensuing from injury repair in 3. Covered stent-grafts were used in 9 cases (10 stent-graft), mesh stem in 1, sealed with balloon in 2 and introcoil embolism in 1.Result Interventional procedure was successful in all these 13 cases, there was no mortality nor severe complications. Small amount of endoleak developed in thoracic aorta pseudoaneurysm and contrast leaked from internal jugular vein in left subclavical arteriovenous fistula after stent-graft insertion, these were healedconservatively. Twelve cases were followed up from 1 to 26 months. Hemoptysis occurred in patient with thoracic aorta pseudoaneurysm 12 months after intervention but without abnormality in CTA. There were no stem break, shift, deformation or stennsis and there were no recurrence of primary disease.Conclusion Interventional therapy is of less invasion, short performation duration, simple manipulation and quick postoperative recovery for vascular injuries.

Background In recent years, the incidence of metabolic syndrome (MS) is increasing significantly in China. Some studies have found that temperature is related to single metabolic index, but there is a lack of research on associated mechanism and identifying path of the influence of temperature on MS. Objective Based on the data of Guangdong Province, to investigate the effect of temperature on MS and its pathway. Methods A total of 8524 residents were enrolled by multi-stage random sampling from October 2015 to January 2016 in Guangdong. Basic characteristics, behavioral characteristics, health status, and physical activity level were obtained through questionnaires and physical examinations, and meteorological data were obtained from meteorological monitoring sites. We matched individual data both with the temperature data of the physical examination day and of a lag of 14 d. A generalized additive model was used to explore the exposure-effect relationship between temperature and MS and its indexes, calculate effect values, and explore the effects of single-day lag temperature. Based on the literature and the results of generalized additive model analysis, a path analysis was conducted to explore the pathways of temperature influencing MS. Results The association between daily average temperature on the current day or lag 14 day and MS risk was not statistically significant. When daily average temperature increased by 1 ℃, the change values of fasting blood-glucose (FBG), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were −0.033 (95%CI: −0.040-−0.026) mmol·L−1, −0.662 (95%CI: −0.741-−0.583) mmHg, −0.277 (95%CI: −0.323-−0.230) mmHg, and −0.005 (95%CI: −0.007-−0.004) mmol·L−1 respectively. The effects of average daily temperature on FBG, blood pressure, HDL-C, and waist circumference lasted until lag 14 day. The effects of daily average temperature on SBP and DBP were the largest on the current day. Daily average temperature of current day had direct and indirect effects on FBG and SBP. Temperature had an indirect effect on TG, and the intermediate variables were waist circumference and FBG, with an indirect effect value of −0.011 (95%CI: −0.020-−0.002). The indirect effects of daily average temperature on SBP, FBG, and TG were weak. Conclusion There is no significant correlation between temperature and risk of MS, and daily average temperature of current day could significantly affected blood pressure and FBG with a lag effect. Daily average temperature of current day has indirect effects on FBG and TG.

Objective:To study the association between apparent temperature (AT) and the incidence of hand,foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) and its spatial heterogeneity in 46 cities in Guangdong, Anhui and Jilin provinces, and provide scientific evidence for the early warning of HFMD.Methods:The data of HFMD incidence and meteorological factors from 2009 to 2018 in Guangdong province, 2009 to 2015 in Anhui province, and 2013 to 2018 in Jilin province were collected. Distributed lag non-linear models were constructed to investigate the association between AT and the incidence of HFMD in 46 cities from three provinces in China. Meta-analysis was used to pool the city-specific estimates, and Meta-regression was applied to analyze the factors that may cause spatial heterogeneity.Results:The relationship between daily AT and the incidence of HFMD in 46 cities appeared nonlinear. The association in Guangdong was similar to that in Jilin, and the risk of HFMD increased with the increase of AT. While the risk of HFMD in Anhui first increased with the increase of AT, and peaked at 18.1 ℃ and then went down. AT on different levels showed different lag impacts and the higher AT showed greater and longer lag impact. The spatial heterogeneity of associations may have been caused by latitude, longitude, average temperature, and average sunshine hours.Conclusions:AT is a comprehensive index to evaluate the association between temperature, relative humidity and wind speed and the incidence of HFMD. Higher AT may increase the risk of HFMD. The AT and HFMD relationship across spatial heterogeneity varies depending on geographic location and meteorological conditions.
