Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2015;19(30):4815-4819
BACKGROUND:Bare-metal stent for treatment of myocardial infarction may improve cardiac function to some extent, but it is prone to induce thrombus. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of heparin slow-release stent on angiogenesis and cardiac function of patients with acute myocardial infarction. METHODS:A total of 87 patients with acute myocardial infarction were enroled, including 47 males and 40 females, aged 55-81 years. These patients were divided into observation group (n=45) with percutaneous coronary intervention with heparin slow-release stent and control group (n=42) with percutaneous coronary intervention with bare metal stent. The folow-up period was 12 months, and angiogenesis, cardiac function improvement and adverse cardiac events in the two groups were observed and compared. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The new blood vessel density, myocardial survival area and left ventricular ejection fraction were al higher in the observation group than the control group (P < 0.05). At 3 months after intervention, there was one case of revascularization and one case of recurrent acute myocardial infarction in the observation group; in the control group, there was case of revascularization, one case of recurrent acute myocardial infarction and one case of sudden cardiac death, and there was no difference between the two groups. These findings indicate that that percutaneous coronary intervention with heparin slow-release stent has good biocompatibility and can effectively promote the regeneration of blood vessels and improve cardiac function of patients with acute myocardial infarction.

Objective To study the effect of Pinus yunnanensis on acute alcoholic liver injury in rats and explore its mechanism. Methods A model of acute alcoholic liver injury in mice was prepared by alcohol. The mice were randomly divided into normal control group, model group, positive control group, Pinus yunnanensis low-, medium-and high-dose groups. Mice in the medicine group were given the corresponding medicine by gavage once a day for 7 days. After the last three hours of intragastric administration, the liver and spleen index, ALT, AST and GSH in serum, SOD, MDA and NO in liver homogenates were measured. Histopathological changes of liver were observed by HE staining. Results Compared with model group, Pinecone of Pinus unnanensis high-, medium- and low-dose groups could significantly reduce the liver index in mice (P<0.01), and high dose groups could significantly reduce the number of spleen (P<0.01); The contents of AST in the medium- and high-dose groups significantly decreased (P<0.01) and the GSH activity significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). There was no significant difference in serum ALT level, SOD activity, GSH activity and NO content in the liver tissues of Pinus yunnanensis groups (P>0.05). HE staining results showed that, the damage of liver tissue in mice of Pinus yunnanensis was significantly improved compared with the model group. Conclusion Pinus yunnanensis has protective effects on acute alcoholic liver injury in mice.

Objective To investigate the effect mechanism of sanguinarine on the proliferation,apoptosis,invasion and migration abilities of cervical cancer cells.Methods MTT,flow cytometer,cell scratch test and Transwell chamber assay were respectively used to detect the cellular proliferation,apoptosis,migration and invasion abilities after sanguinarine action.The expression levels of E-Cadherin,PTEN,β-catenin and MMP2 protein of cervical cancer cells after sanguinarine action were detected by Western blot.Results 0.6,0.8 μmol/L sanguinarine had the inhibitory effect on the proliferation of cervical cancer cells.After 0.8μmol/L sanguinarine action for 48 h,cervical cancer HeLa and Siha cells apoptosis rate were up to (45.68± 2.26)% and(31.89 ± 3.80)% respectively.0.8 μmol/L sanguinarine action for 3 h,cervical cancer cells HeLa and Siha adhesion rates were only (67.45 ± 2.13)%and(73.59± 2.61)%.0.8 mol/L sanguinarine action for 16 h,the invasion numbers of cervical cancer Hela and Siha cell were (39.64 ±1.98) and (43.87 ± 2.83) respectively.The expression amount of E-Cadherin and PTEN in cervical cancer cells after sanguinarine action was increased,while the expression amount of E-Cadherin and PTEN was weakened.Conclusion Sanguinarine has the proliferation inhibiting and apoptosis promoting effect on cervical cancer cells,its mechanism may be related to adhesion protein E-Cadherin,β-catenin and PTEN,MMP2.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of [11C]CFT PET in the diagnosis and severity assessment of Parkinson disease (PD). Methods Thirty-eight patients with PD at various Hoehn & Yahr (H&Y) stages were included and underwent a [11C]CFT PET scan. The correlation between [11C]CFT uptake and unified Parkinson disease rating scale part III (UPDRS III) of PD patients was evaluated by calculating Pearson’s regression coefficient. Statistical parametric mapping (SPM) analysis was performed to compare the difference of dopamine transporter (DAT) distribution between ear-ly and advanced PD patients. Results There was a significant reduction of [11C]CFT uptake in the bilateral striatum of PD patients. There was a significant negative correlation between clinical scores of UPDRS III, rigidity, bradykinesia, pos-ture, gait and [11C]CFT uptake in the striatum. The SPM analysis revealed a significant and asymmetric decrease of [11C] CFT uptake in the striatum, predominantly on the putamen and caudate nucleus contralateral to the onset limb, in the posterior area of ipsilateral putamen in early PD (H&Y 1-2) patients compared with the normal controls. There was a sig-nificant symmetric decrease of [11C]CFT uptake in both putamen and caudate nucleus in advanced PD (H&Y 3-5) pa- tients, compared with normal controls. Compared with early PD patients, the reduction of DAT was more severe in bilater-al caudate nucleus and the ipsilateral putamen in the advanced PD patients. Conclusions [11C]CFT PET is a sensitive biomarker in the diagnosis and assessment of disease severity of PD patients.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of platelet dynamics on the prognosis of 28-day in patients with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).Methods:From January 2017 to December 2020, 60 patients from the Emergency Medicine Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University received ECMO for life support. The baseline data of the patients were collected, the minimum value of platelets on day 1-7 of the machine was calculated, and the platelet change value and change rate were calculated. The patients were divided into the survival group and death group according to the 28-day survival status after ECMO was installed, and the receiver operating curve (ROC) was drawn based on the platelet change value and change rate to evaluate its predictive value for prognosis.Results:Among patients receiving VV-ECMO, the platelet change value and change rate on day 7 had the best prediction effect on the patient's 28-day outcome ( AUCΔPLT7=0.772, P=0.016; AUCΔPLT7%=0.764, P=0.020), when the platelet change value was 4×10 9/L as the critical value, the sensitivity was 0.857, the specificity was 0.615, and when the platelet change rate was -28.99% as the critical value, the sensitivity was 0.857, the specificity was 0.615, and when the platelet change rate was -28.99%. The sensitivity was 0.643 with a specificity of 0.846. In patients receiving VA-ECMO, the platelet change rate on day 6 predicted the best effect on the patient's 28-day outcome ( AUCΔPLT6%= 0.707, P = 0.045). When the platelet change rate was -26.19% as the critical value, the sensitivity was 0.842 and the specificity was 0.643. Conclusions:Platelet dynamic changes of platelets are correlated with the 28-day prognosis of patients receiving ECMO, and the combination of platelet change value and the critical value of change rate can better predict the poor prognosis of patients in both ECMO modes.
