Chinese Journal of Sports Medicine 2017;36(7):586-593
Objective To compare the different effects of endurance and exhaustive exercises on hepcidin in the blood and liver,and determine the changes of related indexes about iron metabolism and hypoxia response,and of inflammatory and antimicrobial activity factors.Methods Thiry female Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into a control group (n=10),an endurance exercise group (n=10) and an exhaustive exercise group (n=10).Then 4 weeks of endurance and exhaustive treadmill training were given to different exercise groups respectively.Blood samples were collected,the routine indexes of the whole blood,and the serum indexes about iron metabolism,hypoxia response,inflammatory and antimicrobial activity factors were measured.Meanwhile,liver samples were fixed,embedded and sliced,and the expression of hepcidin,hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α and nuclear factor of kappa b (NF-κB) of different groups were measured using the immunochemistry staining.Results Compared with the control group,after 4-week endurance exercises,there was significant increase in the concentration of erythropoietin (EPO),but significant differences in the level of serum hepcidin and interleukin 6 (IL-6).However,after 4 weeks of exhaustive exercise,significant increase was observed in the level of hepcidin and the expression of HIF-1α in the serum and liver,as well as the serum interleukin 1 (IL-1),IL-6,tumor necrosis factor-α and C reactive protein,but significant decrease was found in the concentration of serum EPO and the level of serum TF and sTFR compared to the control group.Moreover,there was significant increase in the level of toll-like receptor 4 and NF-κB,which is correlated with the antimicrobial peptide activity of hepcidin compared between the exhaustive and control group.Conclusions Four-week endurance exercise down-regulates the level of serum hepcidin,while 4-week exhaustive exercise increases the hepcidin level in the serum and liver significantly.Therefore,different exercises can result in totally different effect on the hepcidin level.

Objective: To review the pathological characteristics of the lungs in mitral stenosis with pulmonary hypertension, and provide evidence for clinical treatment. Methods: Pulmonary pathological changes in 37 patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis and secondary pulmonary hypertension received mitral valve replacement. Six patients of aortic valve disease without pulmonary hypertension received aortic valve replacement and were taken as control. The lung biopsies were obtained from the middle lobe of the right lung in operation. Pulmonary muscular arteries were studied quantitatively and qualitatively. Results: All patients with mitral stenosis showed various degrees of vascular and other associated parenchymal changes. The structural changes in the muscular arteries was graded according to the degree of MT/R. There was 81% of patients with mitral stenosis in mild to moderate degree. Conclusion: The pulmonary vascular pathological changes of patients who have rheumatic mitral stenosis with pulmonary hypertension are related to the level of preoperative pulmonary artery pressure. And in most of them the pulmonary vascular pathological changes are in mild to moderate degree.

Objective The results of Aortic valve replacement (AVR). Combined with ascending aortic replacement(group A) or aortoplasty (group B) in patients with aortic valve disease and ascending aortic dilatation were analysed to assess the clinical outcomes and respective indications. Methods Among the two groups, the age, gender, NYHA class, types of aortic valve lesions and left ventricular ejection fraction were not different statically. The ascending aortic diameters in group A[(50.41 ±3.71) mm] and group B [(48.29±2.18) mm] were not statically different. Ascending aortic replacement was performed in Group A. A Dacron tube(diameter 28 ~ 30mm) was routinely wrapped around the ascending aorta after aortoplasty in group B. Results There was 1 postoperative death in group B, blood transfusion volume and postoperative complications were not stasticaly different in the two groups. Cardiopulmonary bypass time [(110.52 ± 27.51) min] and aortic across clumping time [(71.70 ± 17.13)min] in group A were significantly longer than that of group B [(97.31 ± 19.46) min,P=0. 004; (57.13 ±19.46) min, respectively. P=0.025]. Conclusion Aortic valve disease, especially bicuspid valve disease often combines with ascending aortic dilatation or aneurysm. In younger patients, ascending aorta should be actively treated surgically when the diameter is equal or more than 40mm. Aortoplasty with external reinforcement of a Dacron tube is simpler and safer than aortic replacement in patient without aortic atherosclerosis or ulceration, and large aneurysm.
