Objective:To explore the effect of endothelin-1 on atrial ifbrosis in patients with atrial ifbrillation (AF).
Methods: A total of 72 patients with thoracotomy were studied, the patients were divided into 2 groups:AF group, n=39 and Sinus rhythm (SR) group, n=33. The mRNA and protein expressions of endothelin-1 (ET-1), platelet derived growth factor-B (PDGF-B) and collagen I (COL1) in right atrial appendage (RAA) tissue were measured by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis;meanwhile, the impact of ET-1 stimulation and non-selective ET-1 receptor antagonist (sulfafurazole SIZ) on PDGF-B mRNA and protein expressions in H9c2 cells were measured.
Results: ①The RAA tissue mRNA and protein expressions in AF group were higher than those in SR group, as for ET-1 (2.830 ± 2.276) vs (1.220 ± 0.887) and (0.835 ± 0.241) vs (0.286 ± 0.083), both P<0.01;for PDGF-B (2.568 ± 2.348) vs (1.567 ± 0.831) and (0.807±0.241) vs (0.381 ± 0.105), both P<0.05;for COL1α1 (3.376 ± 1.598) vs (1.629 ± 0.833) and (0.652 ± 0.210) vs (0.312 ± 0.12), both P<0.05.②The protein expressions of ET-1 and COL1 had positive correlation (r=0.580, P<0.01).③ET-1 promoted PDGF-B secretion in H9c2 cells in a concentration and time-dependent manner;SIZ could reduce such promotion.
Conclusion: ET-1 plays an important role in AF occurrence which might be related to PDGF-B regulation.

Objective:To explore the application of real-time transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) during seminal vesiculoscopy in infertile men with azoospermia or oligoasthenospermia.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 25 cases of azoospermia or oligoasthenospermia due to ejaculate ducts obstruction who were treated with real-time transrectal ultrasound-guided seminal vesiculoscopy between September 2011 and December 2015. Patients’ age was(29.4±4.5) years. All patients accepted semen analysis, serum sex hormone, MRI, TRUS and then diagnosed as obstructive azoospermia, and 13 cases had intractable obstructive azoospermia or oligoasthenospermia after the failure of simple seminal vesiculoscopy(the path to the ejaculatory duct and seminal vesicle couldn’t be found). All patients were treated with seminal vesiculoscopy under real-time guidance with TRUS. We assessed the success rate of surgery, surgical time and complications.Results:The scope was successfully inserted into the seminal vesicle in 21 of the 25 cases (success rate, 84%). The median operative time was 75(31, 148) min. None of the patients developed severe complications. Among 4 failure cases (4/25, 16%), 1 was due to abnormal congenital development. In 2 cases, a clear outlet of the dual ejaculatory duct could not be found after it was inserted into the prostatic utricle. One case was considered as a Müllerian tubular cyst, and the seminal vesicle scope was used to assess the cystic side wall. The 21 patients were followed up for 3 to 6 months, semen volume 2.0(0-5.2)ml, total sperm 28(0-832) ×10 6/ejaculate, sperm density 5.6(0-110.3)×10 6/ml, mobility rate of sperm 5.4%(0-63.6%), and the differences were significant as compared to that before the surgery [semen volume 0.4(0-2.8)ml, total sperm 0(0-342)×10 6/ejaculate, sperm density 0(0-90.7)×10 6/ml, mobility rate of sperm 0(0-24.1%), all P<0.05]. Among the 17 patients who underwent follow-up of 5 to 9 years, 3 patients was conceived naturally and 9 patients’ postoperative sperm quality has improved and pregnancy in vitro fertilization by extracting sperm from semen. Conclusions:Intraoperative real-time transrectal ultrasound guidance can improved the success rate of seminal vesiculoscopy and promoted operative safety.

Objective To investigate the correlation of microembolic signals (MES) and outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods The patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled in the study.The MES of middle cerebral artery was monitored dynamically using transcranial color Doppler ultrasound.The early lesions of ischemic stroke were evaluated by MRI.The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) was used to evaluate neurological deficits.The modified Rankin scale was used to evaluate the outcome,and the stroke recurrence was recorded.Results A total of 135 patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled,in which,33 were cardiogenic cerebral embolism,49 were large artery atherosclerotic stroke,24 were small arterial occlusive stroke,and 29 were other clear causes or cryptogenic stroke.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that coronary heart disease (odds ratio [OR],5.862,95％ confidence interval [CI] 2.008-17.114; P =0.000) was the independent risk factor for positive MES within 48 hours after stroke onset,while the history of antithrombotic treatment (OR 0.376,95％ CI 0.141-0.998; P =0.045) was its independent protective factor.In addition,coronary heart disease (OR 4.879,95％ CI 1.257-18.939; P =0.033),hypertension (OR 4.958,95％ CI 1.029-23.882; P =0.030),and diabetes (OR 3.659,95％ CI 1.027-13.034; P =0.050) were the independent risk factors for positive MES within 1 week after stroke onset.The NIHSS scores of the patients of the positive MES at baseline and 1 week and the clinical outcome at 3 months had no significant differences with the patients of negative MES,however,stroke recurrence and deaths increased significantly (P =0.019).Conclusions MES within 48 hours of onset was not associated with the outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke at 3 months,however,the incidence of endpoint events such as recurrence and death was significantly higher in patients of positive MES within 3 months.

Objective To study the effect of overexpression of TRPC6 on Ang Ⅱ-induced apoptosis of mouse podocytes in vitro and to explore the possible mechanisms. Methods Mouse TRPC6 cDNA eukaryotie expression vector pEGFP-NI-mTRPC6 was transfected to conditionally immortalized routine podocyte cell line by liposome. The fluorescent microscopy was used to examine the expression of EGFP after 24 hours. The change of TRPC6 protein expression was observed by Western-blot. Podocytes were treated by different concentrations of Ang Ⅱ. The podocyte intracellular calcium concentration was measured with laser-scanning con_focal microscope. The expression of Bax and Bcl-2 mRNA was assessed by RT-PCR and the expression of Bax and Bcl-2 protein was measured by Western-blot. The apoptotic ratio of podocytes was monitored by flow cytometry and Hoechst staining. Results About 35% of the cells expressed EGFP. An up-regulation of protein expression of TRPC6 was detected in podocytes when transfected with pEGFP-N1-mTRPC6 (P<0.01). The overexpression of TRPC6 promoted the Ang Ⅱ-induced influx of extracellular calcium and elevated the expression of Bax but decreased the expression of Bcl-2 (P<0.01, P<0.05). The apoptotic ratio of podocyte was (2.50±0.72)% when treated by low-dose Ang Ⅱ (10-10 mol/L), and it was increased to (4.33±0.45)% when transfected with pEGFP-N1-mTRPC6 (P <0.05 ). Transfection with pEGFP-NI-mTRPC6 increased apoptosis rate from (15.46± 1.40)% to (18.33±0.87)%(P<0.01) by high-dose Ang Ⅱ (10-6 mol/L). Conclusion TRPC6 plays an important role in the Ang Ⅱ-induced apoptosis of podocytes by promoting the influx of extraeellular calcium, which leads to the apoptosis cascade initiation.

Objective To develop a novel endoscopic classification system to determine the invasion depth of early esophageal cancer.Methods The esophageal lesion was endoscopicaUy stained with Lugol's iodine first,then methylene blue.According to the growth pattern,height and cup depth under endoscope,the lesions were classified into 5 types,including surface diffusion growth,intra-lumen growth,intra-wall growth,bi-direction growth and mix growth types.The lesions were then removed by endoscopic mucosa reection or surgery,the precise invasion depth of the lesion was determined pathologically and the results were compared with the endoscopy classification.Results The data of 44 cases of esophageal mucosal cancer and 34 cases of esophageal sub-mueosal cancer were included.With the criteria of mucosal cancer as surface diffusion growth,intra-lumen growth <5mm,bi-direetion growth <2mm and intra-wall growth <0.5 mm,the diagnostic specificity was 89.1%(41/46) and sensitivity was 93.2%(41/44).With the criteria of submucosal cancer as intra-lumen growth≥5 mm,hi-direction growth≥2mm,intra-wall growth≥0.5 mm and mix growth type,the diagnostic specificity was 90.6%(29/32) and sensitivity was 85.3%(29/34).The overall diagnostic accuracy in differentiating esophageal mucosal cancer from esophageal submueosal cancer by endoscopic classification was 89.7%(70/78).Conclusion This endoscopic classification system is effective in differentiating esophageal mucosal cancer from submucosal ones.
