Objective The aim of this study was to determine the effect of a new method of cardiac assistant therapy with an extra-aortic balloon pump on the experimental dogs in which myocardial ischemia or infarction were induced, and to ob serve its effectiveness and feasibility. Methods Twelve animal models of myocardia 1 infarction were established with the method of left anterior descending coronary artery ligation. They were divided randomly into two groups, six in the experimental group and six in the untreated group. The end points observed were the differences between the two groups in the blood pressure, cardiac function, myocardial enzymes, infarction size and routine blood variables before procedure, 1,2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 hours after myocardial infarction. Results All six dogs in the experimental group were survived, with a mortality rate of 0.The number of death in the control group was three, with a mortality rate of 50%. Measurements such as mean blood pressure,cardiac output, cardiac index in the experimental group were better than those in the control group ( P ＜ 0.05 ). Mean heart rate before myocardial infarction in the experimental group was 156 beats per minute, as compared with 148 beats per minute in the control group, and was 128 vs. 67 beats per minute respectively six hours after myocardial infarction. The cardiac output was 3.48 vs. 4.98 liters per minute before myocardial infarction and was 6.10 vs. 0.85 liters per minute six hours after myocardial infarction. The average pressure was 94 mm Hg vs. 99 mm Hg before myocardial infarction and was 70 mm Hg vs. 33 mm Hg six hours after myocardial infarction. Conclusion The extra-aortic balloon pump significantly improved the hemodynamic variables of the experimental animals after myocardial infarction and reduced mortality. Injury to the blood cells may be the potential disadvantage.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the use value of picrosirius red staining plus polarized microscopy to observe the dynamic changes of collagen fiber in lung fibrosis in silicotic mice model.

METHODSThe experimental mice were divided into control and quartz groups. 0.2 g/kg weight of quartz was injected intratracheally in quartz group. Lung tissues were collected at the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 14th and 28th day after injection respectively. Lung tissue slides were stained with picrosirius red. With the aid of polarized microscope, image analysis software, the distribution and change of type I and type III collagen could be qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed. Lung tissue hydroxyproline was determined by chloramines T method.

RESULTSIn early stage the predominant increment was type III collagen, but in late stage type I was predominant. The contents of both type collagen tended to increase as postexposure time prolonged. The time course of the ratio of type I to type III showed increasing trend, and there was a statistical significance on day 28 (1.49 +/- 0.39 vs 0.59 +/- 0.24, P < 0.05). The total area of collagen was positively correlated with hydroxyproline concentration of lung tissue (r(2) = 0.928 5, P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONPicrosirius red staining combined with polarized microscopy and digital image processing is a useful method to elucidate collagen accumulation, distribution and subtype ratio in silicosis.
