Objective To investigate the injuries caused by cholesterol to the vascular endothelial cells (VECs). Methods Different dosage of cholesterol (6.25,12.5,25.0,50.0 mg/L) was used on human umbilical endothelial cell line,ECV304,respectively. LDH activity,nitric oxide and the nitric oxide synthetase activity in the supernatant of cell culture were detected. The concentration of MCP-1 protein in cell culture was detected by ELISA. Results As compared with the normal control cells,a significant increase of LDH activity was found in the cells treated with 50.0 mg/L cholesterol. The NO level decreased in the cells treated by 25.0 or 50.0 mg/L cholesterol. When treated by cholesterol at dose of 6.25,12.5,25.0 or 50.0 mg/L respectively,the NOS activity was greatly decreased and MCP-1 protein was significantly increased in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion Cholesterol of high concentration could directly injure the structure and partial function of VECs.

Objective To prepare thermosensitive chitosan (CTS) hydrogels containing astragalus polysaccharides (APS)/CTS microshperes (MS), and evaluate its physicochemical properties. Methods The APS/CTS MS (APS-MS) were prepared by spray drying method, and characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Laser Granularity Analyzer. Depending on the gelation temperature and gelating time, thermosensitive CTS hydrogels (HG) containing APS-MS (APS-MS-HG) were optimized by signal factor experiments, and the morphological characteristics were observed by SEM. In vitro release behaviors of APS-MS, hydrogels containing APS (APS-HG) and APS-MS-HG in pH 6.8 phosphate buffer were evaluated by dialysis tube method. Results The APS-MS were well dispersed with nearly spherical shapes and slightly wrinkled surfaces. The surface weighted mean D[3,2] of APS-MS was 8.078μm. The optimal APS-MS-HG, APS-MS-HG J, contained 3.012% APS-MS which were agitated with a magnetic stirrer for 3h. Observed by SEM, APS-MS were stayed spherical and dispersed unevenly in HG J, but the porous structure of HG J was disappeared in APS-MS-HG J. The release of APS from APS-MS-HG J was without initial burst release, and the cumulative amount of APS was about 74.75% after 36h. Conclusion Suppressing the phenomenon of sudden release at the first stage of delivery, APS-MS-HG J holds great promise for topical applications as a sustained-release nasal delivery system.

Objective To analyze the normal reference values of the right ventricular volumes and ejection fraction of healthy adults measured by single-beat real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (sRT-3DE).Methods The subjects of this study included three hundred and thirty-four healthy adults,and were divided into 2 groups by gender and 6 groups by age.The sRT-3DE was chosen to measure their right ventricular volumes and ejection fraction.The parameters of right ventricular volumes were standardized by body surface area (BSA)and lean body mass (LBM)to calculate the ranges of their normal value.The correlation between these parameters and genders as well as the physical characteristics (height,weight, body mass index,BSA and LBM)was also clarified.Results Three hundred and thirty-four (96%)of the 348 subjects had been tested.Before standardizing,men had larger right ventricular volumes compared with women,and the differences of the right ventricular end diastolic volume (RVEDV),right ventricular end systolic volume (RVESV)and right ventricle stroke volume (RVSV)were statistically significant(P <0.001 ),but it had no statistical significance in the difference of the right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF)(P >0.05 ).After standardizing by LBM,the RVEDV,RVESV and RVSV in male group were significantly lower than those in women group (P < 0.001 ).In different age groups,the difference of RVEDV,RVESV,RVSV ,but no RVEF were statistically significant (P < 0.05 ).Positive correlations between the RVEDV,RVESV,RVSV and the BSA,height,weight,body mass index and LBM had been detected,and it showed a negative relation between RVEDV,RVESV,RVSV with age.Noticeably,RVEF had no correlation with them.Conclusions sRT-3DE can provide a preliminary range for normal reference values of right ventricular volumes and RVEF in healthy adults according to gender and age and finds that LBM has certain impact on adult cardiac structure,which offers valuable evidence for the diagnosis of right heart diseases in clinical practices.
