BACKGROUND:To explore the methods for secondary limb revascularization after endovascular repair is one of the most urgent research topics.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the biological mechanism about the transplantation of autologous peripheral blood stem cel s to lead and perfect the effect of ischemic tissue for secondary revascularization.
METHODS:Forty-two patients with critical low limb ischemia were selected and treated with endovascular repair as first revascularization and transplantation of autologous peripheral blood stem cel s as secondary revascularization. The secondary revascularization was carried out at 3 months after the first blood flow remodeling. The patients receiving secondary revascularization were fol owed for 4 years.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After transplantation of autologous peripheral blood stem cel s, the patients complained that the rest pain of the lower leg was relieved obviously and intermittent claudication distance was significantly lengthened. Limb salvage rate was 100%. Skin temperature index was 1.6±0.3, transcutaneous oxygen pressure was (5.00±1.26) kPa, ankle-brachium index was 0.9±0.2, photoplethysmograpy index was 0.8±0.1, saturation of blood oxygen was (79.4±20.4)%, and digital subtraction angiography score was (1.3±0.2)
points. After transplantation, local blood flow indicators of the low limbs were positively correlated to local symptom indicators of the limbs (0.6

Objective To summarize continuous veno- venous hemofiltration (CVVH) treatment of infants with complex congenital heart disease in children with acute renal failure after treatment. Methods A retrospective analysis was carried out in six cases of infants with congenital heart disease with application of CVVH. The children were given monitoring and anticoagulant treatment. The renal function, electrolytes and urine volume were compared before and after the treatment. Results The amount of urine increased, blood circulation and electrolytes remained stable in six patients 17.5-135.0 hours after CVVH. Conclusions The CVVH therapy can be applied to treat infants with congenital heart disease complicated with acute renal failure, but CVVH treatment should focus on anticoagulants and blood volume since complicated state of illness, low age, low body weight of children patients.

Objective: To investigate the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic changes of Yangyin Tongnao Granules (YTG) in cerebral ischemia reperfusion rats after the compatibility of main effective parts (total alkaloids, total flavonoids, total saponins and total phenolic acids). Methods: By using the orthogonal design to research the main effective parts of YTG, nine different dosage ratios combinations were formed, which were used for oral administration in cerebral ischemia reperfusion rats. High performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector (HPLC-DAD) was used to determine the concentration of puerarin, ferulic acid, and ligustrazine in rat plasma at different time points. The non-compartmental model was used to fit the pharmacokinetic parameters by Drug and Statistics (DAS) 3.2.6 software. The total quantum statistical moment analysis method and comprehensive evaluation method were used to evaluate the total pharmacokinetic characteristics. Meanwhile, the content of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. Finally, the PK-PD model and the quantitative equations between drug concentration and efficacy were obtained. Results: The pharmacokinetic characteristics of puerarin, ferulic acid and ligustrazine in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion rats were different. Total statistical moment and comprehensive score study showed that different combinations had different effects on ACUT, mean retention time (MRT), and comprehensive evaluation. The effective parts inhibited the reduction of oxidation indexes such as SOD and CAT. Sigmoid-Emax models were adopted in all PK-PD models, and the fitting results had a good correlation with the measured data. The R values were more than 0.85. Conclusion: Compatibility of YTG activity parts had a certain effect on their pharmacokinetic behaviors and antioxidation in model rats. The total quantum statistical moment analysis and comprehensive evaluation method can be used to study the pharmacokinetics of multi-component traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions. PK-PD model could be used to predict and evaluate the correlation between pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions.

Objective To determine the effect of hypothermia on gene transcription and protein expression of calpain after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods Twenty-seven rats were randomly divided into three groups, ie, normal control group, normothermia TBI group and hypothermia TBI group. All rats with TBI were suffered from a lateral fluid percussion injury (FPI) at the right parietal lobe. Hy-pothermia intervention [rectal temperature for (32 ± 0.5) ℃] was performed for four hours immediately after TBI in hypothermia TBI group. Fluorescence PCR and Western blot were utilized to semi-quantify gene transcription and protein expression of ealpain and immunofluorescence used to observe protein dis-tribution of Calpain. Results Compared with normothermia TBi group and normal control group, hypo-thermia TBI group showed increased calpain gene transcription at 12 and 24 hours respectively after FPI (P <0.05). However, the increase of ealpain protein expression in hypothermia TBI group was inhibited more significantly by hypothermia at 6,12,24 and 72 hours after TBI, compared with normothermia TBI group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Neuroproteetion of hypothermia after TBI may somewhat be related to the decrease of calpain protein expression after its gene transcription.
