Objective To summarize the clinical experience of "One-stop" hybrid procedure that performs minimally in-vasive direct coronary artery bypass ( MII)CAB ) and percutaneous coronary intervention ( PC! ) concurrently on 35 patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods Between June 2007 and May 2008, 35 patients [33 men and 2women, mean age (63.5±9.2) years] with multivessel CAD ( two-vessel CAD, n = 19; three-vessel CAD, n = 16, left main coronary artery disease, n = 7 ; coronary artery lesions, 2.5 lesions per patient) underwent "one-stop" hybrid procedure. The hybrid strategy was performed as a primary MIDCAB procedure for bypassing the left internal mammary artery ( LIMA ) to the left anterior descending artery ( LAD ), simultaneously followed by PCI ( pereutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and/or stenting) on the remaining non-LAD vessels. Concomitant diseases included hypertention in 20 patients, hy-perlipemia in 12 patients, previous myocardial infarction (MI) in 10 patients, diabetes mellitus (type 2) in 9 patients, previ-ous cerebrovascular disease in 2 patients, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in 1 patient, renal dysfunction in 1 patient, and ostium secundum atrial septal defect in 1 patient. The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) averaged 0. 62±0.07. Results There were no reexploration for bleeding, strokes, myocardial infarctions, acute renal dysfunctions, or deaths in hospetal. Of the total 35 patients, 34 patients (97.1%) were successfully treated with "one-stop" hybrid procedure, and 1 patient (2.9%) was converted to conventional coronary artery bypass grafting ( CABG ) because of dissection of one obtuse marginal branch during PCI. One of the LIMA-LAD grafts was confirmed to be anastomotic stenosis by followed coronary angiog-raphy and was corrected immediately. The patient with ostium secundum defer underwent tranesophageal echocardiography guiding transcatheter closure after LIMA-LAD anastomosis. Catheter-based interventions were carried out in 61 coronary le-sions, including PTCA in 6 lesions and implantation of 62 drug-elating stents (DES) in the rest appropriate lesions. The mean number of DES implantation was 1.8 per patient, and the average diameter and length of implanted DES were respectively ( 3.2±0.5 )mm and 37.3 mm per patient. Of the 34 patients receiving hybrid procedure, the average mechanical ventrilation time was ( 10.8±7.9) hours, and 4 ( 11. 8% ) pateints were extubated in the operating room; length of stay in the intencive care unit averaged (33.6±33.0) hours and hospital stay (9±3) days; 24 patients (70.6%) avoided transfusion require-ment. Conclusion Our findings indicate that in high-risk patients with multivessel CAD, the "one-stop" hybrid procedure by performing MIDCAB and PCI simultaneously is a feasible and safe alternative.

Objective To explore the mechanism and regulative function of betulin on anti-aging genes related of normol human dermal fibroblasts (ESF-1), and to reveal the repairing mechanism of betulin on wrinkles. Methods The cultured cell in vitro were divided into the control group, the estradiol group and the betulin high, medium and low dose groups. Competence of ESF-1 cells was detected by MTT. Expression of mRNA of collagen type I and Ⅲ (ColⅠand Col Ⅲ), tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinase 1 and 2 (TIMP-1 and TIMP-2), matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP-1) was detected by RT-PCR. Results Compared with the control group, the proliferation of ESF-1 cells (0.455 ± 0.037, 0.445 ± 0.040 vs. 0.385 ± 0.601) in the estradiol group and the medial-dose betulin group were increased (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the expression of mRNA of ColⅠ (0.960 ± 0.012, 0.929 ± 0.015 vs. 0.842 ± 0.014), Col Ⅲ (0.892 ± 0.009, 0.824 ± 0.022 vs. 0.768 ± 0.025), TIMP-1 (0.938 ± 0.026, 0.878 ± 0.035 vs. 0.796 ± 0.022), TIMP-2 (0.557 ± 0.025, 0.506 ± 0.036 vs. 0.436 ± 0.063) in the estradiol group and the medial-dose betulin group were increased (all P<0.01). Conclusion Betulin based on increasing the competence of ESF-1 cells, promoting collagen synthesis and the expression level of related-proteinase is to suspend the development of wrinkles.

Objective To investigate changes in expressions of activation antigens CD69 and HLA-DR in CD3+T lymphocytes in peripheral blood and skin lesions in patients with psoriasis vulgaris. Methods Peripheral blood samples were obtained from 20 patients with psoriasis vulgaris and 20 healthy controls, and skin specimens from the lesions of 15 out of the 20 patients and 10 healthy controls. Flow cytometry was performed to quantify the expressions of CD69 and HLA-DR in peripheral blood CD3+T cells, and an immunohistochemical study to measure the expression of HLA-DR in skin specimens. Statistical analysis was carried out by a two-sample t-test and Pearson correlation analysis with the SPSS 19.0 software. Results Compared with the healthy controls, the patients with psoriasis vulgaris showed increased expression rates of CD69 (4.70%± 1.90%vs. 1.56%± 0.95%, t=6.629, P<0.01)and HLA-DR (8.97%± 1.79% vs. 3.02% ± 1.15%, t= 6.204, P< 0.01)in peripheral blood. Pearson correlation analysis revealed that the percentage of CD3+HLA-DR+cells in peripheral blood was positively correlated with the psoriasis area and severity index (PASI)score (r=0.5626, P<0.05). The expression rate of HLA-DR was significantly higher in the dermis (64.87%± 17.31%vs. 19.80%± 5.69%, t=7.916, P<0.01), but lower in the epidermis(11.80%± 5.55%vs. 27.40%± 8.61%, t=5.479, P<0.01)in the psoriatic specimens compared with the control specimens. Immunohistochemically, HLA-DR was widely expressed in the dermis of psoriatic lesions, but mainly distributed around blood vessels in the control skin. Conclusions There is an aberrant activation of CD3+T cells in peripheral blood and inflammatory cells in skin lesions in patients with psoriasis vulgaris, and the percentage of CD3 +HLA-DR+ cells in peripheral blood is correlated with the severity of psoriasis vulagaris.

Objective To investigate the effects of genistein on the mRNA expressions of collagen (Col), matrix metalloproteinase (MMP ) and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase (TIMP) in human embryonic skin fibroblasts (CCC-ESF-1).MethodsThe cultured CCC-ESF-1cells were divided into a black control group, an estradiol group and genistein groups of different doses. The mRNA expressions of ColⅠ, ColⅢ , MMP-1, TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 were detected by RT-PCR.Results Compared with the black group, estradiol and medium dose of genistein (0.451 ± 0.037, 0.446 ± 0.047vs.0.385 ± 0.061, allP<0.05) could promote the proliferation of the CCC-ESF-1 cells, estradiol and medium dose of genistein could up-regulate the mRNA expressions of ColⅠ (0.960 ± 0.012, 0.929 ± 0.015vs.0.812 ± 0.014, allP<0.01), ColⅢ (0.892 ± 0.009, 0.824 ± 0.022vs.0.768 ± 0.025, allP<0.01), TIMP-1 (0.841 ± 0.023, 0.838 ± 0.053vs.0.751 ± 0.027, allP<0.01) and TIMP-2 (0.456 ± 0.017, 0.448 ± 0.036vs.0.381 ± 0.029, allP<0.01), and down-regulate MMP-1 mRNAexpression (0.398 ± 0.043, 0.402 ± 0.044vs.0.525 ± 0.006, allP<0.01).Conclusions Genistein could promote the proliferation of the CCC-ESF-1 cells, and that may be related with up-regulating the mRNA expressions of ColⅠ, ColⅢ , MMP-1, TIMP-1and down-regulating MMP-1 mRNA expression.
