Objective To explore the differences of serum expression of cystatin C,macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF)and matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1)in elderly patients with coronary artery disease.Methods 120 cases of senile cor-onary heart disease patients in the department of cardiovascular medicine from July 2010 to August 2012 were selected and divided into the control group (n=30),stable angina pectoris group(SAP group,n= 34),unstable angina group (UA group,n=28)and a-cute myocardial infarction group (AMI group,n=28)according to the results of coronary arteriography combined with the electro-cardiogram and myocardial enzyme spectrum test.The serum levels of cystatin C,MIF,MMP-1 and C reactive protein (hs-CRP) were compared among the four groups,and correlations of the four indicators were analysed as well.Results There were significant differences in the serum levels of cystatin C,MIF,MMP-1 and hs-CRP among the four groups(P <0.05).The serum levels of cys-tatin C,MIF and MMP-1 were gradually increased with the progression of disease,and significant differences were found between any two groups(P <0.05).There were significant differences in the levels of hs-CRP between the AIM group and the other three groups(P <0.05).While among the control group,SPA group and UA group,no significant differences were found in the levels of hs-CRP between any two groups(P >0.05).The significant positive correlations were observed among cystatin C,MIF and MMP-1.Conclusion The serum levels of cystatin C,MIF and MMP-1 have a gradually increasing trend with disease progression in pa-tients with coronary heart disease,which could be important indicators of disease evaluation.

Objective To investigate the changes and significance of serum inflammatory factors in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) ,and the treatment effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).Methods A total of 76 CHD patients in Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from October 2007 to October 2008 were enrolled.Polysomnography (PSG) was performed in these CHD patients to identify if they were complicated by OSAHS.The levels of inflammatory factors including TNF-α, IL-6, high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in serum were determined in the CHD patients and 23 normal subjects.The CHD patients with mederate-severe OSAHS (AHI≥ 15 episodes/hour) were treated by Auto-CPAP for 3 months and all parameters above were measured again.Results There were 41/76 (53.9%) of CHD patients had mederate-severe OSAHS and were treated with CPAP.The levels of TNF-ct,IL-6 and hs-CRP were significantly higher in the CHD patients than those in the normal controls (all P <0.01) ,and were significantly higher in moderate-severe OSAHS patients than those in the non-OSAHS CHD patients.Auto-CPAP ventilation significantly decreased the levels of inflammatory factors in the CHD patients with moderate-severe OSAHS.Conclusions An obvious proinflammatory state is detected in CHD patients ,and is aggravated with OSAHS.CPAP is a useful treatment for CHD patients with mediate to severe OSAHS.

BACKGROUND: Two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) is precise and effective for the isolation and analysis of complex protein mixtures, has become one of valuable key techniques for proteome. Mice models were as research subjects to model human disease status, one of important methods for cardiovascular disease. The establishment and optimization of 2-DE for proteomes of mice myocardium will provide basis for heart disease.OBJECTIVE: To establish and optimize a stable technique of 2-DE for proteomic analysis of mice myocardium.DESIGN: Mice were used as research subjects, observational comparative study.SETTING: Department of Pathology, Nanfang Hospital Affiliated to Southern Medical University.PARTICIPANTS: The experiment was performed at the Department of Pathology, Nanfang Hospital Affiliated to Southern Medical University between February and September 2004. Totally 12 male BABL/c mice of 4-5 weeks without special-pathogen free with the body mass of 12-15 g were selected, which was provided by the Experimental Animal Center of Southern Medical University.METHODS: The mice were put to death by dislocation of cervical vertebra under drugged state to obtain heart. Various protein extraction method,loading sampling buffer, strip range of IPG, sampling volume of protein,staining method and so on were compared, analyzed, scanned and digilized,and then performing image analysis. Each link in the study was established and optimized.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Resolution of protein and reproducibility of the trial.RESULTS: A method that was optimal for cardiac tissue can isolate about a total of 910 protein spots on pH 4-7 gel strips. 200 μg was fit for silver stain while 1000 μg was for Coomassie stains. It was found that in the myocardium of normal mice about (920±30) protein spots were obtained in 17 em pH 3-10 L gel strip, while around (880±30) were gained in the pH 4-7 L gel strip. The mean matching rate achieves to 86. 9%.CONCLUSION: The findings of the trial showed that 2-DE technique can be effectively applied for proteomics of myocardium of mice to regulate and optimize, and relatively stable separation method of myocardial protein was established.

Objective To investigate the changes in the expression of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) mRNA in a rat model of ventilator-induced lung injury.Methods Thirty adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 2β5-260 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =10 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),small tidal volume (VT) mechanical ventilation group (group S) and large tidal volume mechanical ventilation group (group L).The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal ketamine 100 mg/kg,midazolam 0.2 mg/kg and atropine 1.0 mg/kg.The rats were tracheostomized and spontaneous breathing was maintained in group C,while the rats were tracheostomized and mechanically ventilated for 4 h in groups S and L.The tidal volume was 7 ml/kg (group S) or 40 ml/kg (group L),I ∶ E was 1 ∶ 1,RR was 80 bpm and FiO2 was 100%.At 4 h of spontaneous breathing or mechanical ventilation,broncho-alveolar lung lavage fluid (BALF) was collected for determination of the total protein concentration,white blood cell (WBC) counts and concentrations of MIF,IL-6 and IL-1β (by ELISA).Then the rats were sacrificed and the lungs removed for microscopic examination and for determination of wet to dry lung weight ratio (W/D ratio) and expression of MIF mRNA (by RT-PCR).Results Compared with C and S groups,WBC counts,concentrations of total protein,MIF,IL-6 and IL-1β in BALF,and W/D ratio and expression of MIF mRNA in lung tissues were significantly increased in group L (P < 0.05).There was no significant difference in the indexes mentioned above between group C and group S (P > 0.05).The pathological changes occurred in group L.Conclusion The up-regulation of MIF mRNA expression in lung tissues may be involved in the development of ventilator-induced lung injury in rats.

Objective: To describe the status and trend of dietary energy, protein and fat pattern of Chinese residents. Method : 23 470 households including 68 962 subjects were randomly sampled from 132 counties in 31 provinces, autonomous regions and the municipalities. The 24 h dietary recall method for 3 consecutive days was used in dietary survey and weighing method was used for condiment intake. Results: The average energy intake per reference man per day was 9.42 MJ (2 250.5 kcal), 11.8% and 29.6% from protein and fat respectively. The percentages of energy from fat of big city residents arrived 38.4%. The percentages of energy from cereals, animal food and pure energy food were 57.9%, 12.6% and 17.3% respectively. The average protein intake per reference man per day was 65.9 g, 52%, 7.5% ,25.1% and 15.3% from cereals, bean and bean product, animal food and other foods respectively. The average fat intake per reference man per day was 76.3 g, 39.2% from animal food. Conclusion: The dietary change of Chinese residents represents the characteristics of the transition period, including the decrease of energy and protein intake per capita, decrease of the percentage of dietary energy supplied by cereals and increase of fat intake per capita,especially from animal foods, and the proportion of energy contributed by fat.
