Chinese Journal of Diabetes 2005;13(4):296-298,301
Objective To observe the protective effect of high expression of mouse proxisome proliferator activated receptor γ1(PPARγ1)on free fatty acid (FFA)-induced βTC3 cell impairment. Methods The recombinant plasmid pcDNA3.1/PPARγ1 was generated with cloning and was stably transfected into pancreatic β TC3 cells. The expression was detected with semi-quantitative RT-PCR. Then the cell viability of wild βTC3 cells was compared with that of the βTC3 cells with high expressed PPARγ1 by MTT viability assay after they were exposed to high-level FFA for 48 hours. Results The sequencing results for amplified target gene showed that the sequence of PPARγ1 from Chinese Kunming mouse is similar to that of mouse PPARγ1 in Genebank, only the codon coding Asp at the site of 421 amino acid changed from AAU to AAC. PPARγ1 was efficiently expressed in βTC3 cells in vitro. The cell viability of wild βTC3 cells reduced after being exposed to high-level FFA for 48 hours(P< 0.01). Higher the level of FFA was, more obvious the reduction of the cell viability was (r=-0.962, P<0.01). However, at the same condition, the cell viability of the βTC3 cells high expressing PPARγ1 had no significant change(P>0.05). Conclusion The high expression of PPARγ1 could protect βTC3 cells from FFA-induced impairment

Objective To design a chock-vault antenna for injurious interventional thermotherapy and to evaluate antenna performance change when structure parameters of the antenna are adjusted. Methods Finite element method was used to simulate the distributions of the reflection coefficient and the specific absorption rate (SAR) of the chock-vault antenna of different structure parameters for microwave thermotherapy human muscle tissue model when it worked at 2 450 MHz. The chock-vault antenna for injurious interventional thermotherapy had been optimized. Results This antenna was made.And the reflection coefficient and SAR were measured with human muscle tissue model experiment. The simulation results were validated. Conclusion The SAR distribution of the improved choke-vault antenna does not depend on depth of the insertion tissue. The reflection coefficient can be reduced greatly. The top energy distribution is reasonable.

Objective To investigate the safety and effectiveness of intravenous thrombolysis bridging intra-arterial thrombectomy for opening the acute occlusion of intracranial large artery.Methods Theclinical data of 63 patients with acute intracranial large artery occlusion treated with intravenous thrombolysis bridging intra-arterial thrombectomy in Beijing Xuanwu Hospital,Capital Medical University from January to September 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. The initiation time of intravenous thrombolysis was within 4. 5 h after onset. The initiation time of endovascular therapy (femoral artery puncture)was within 6 h after onset. They were divided into either a simple stent mechanical thrombectomy group (n=41)or a stent mechanical thrombectomy combined with catheter suction group (n=22)according to the ways of thrombectomy. There were no significant differences in the gender composition,average age,occlusion site and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)score on admission between the two groups of patients (all P <0. 05). The modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (mTICI)was used evaluate the effect of vascular patency. The vascular recanalization time,number of thrombectomy,NIHSS scores on admission,at 72 h after procedure and at day 90,and intraoperative and postoperative complications treated with two kinds of intra-arterial treatment under the intravenous thrombolysis bridging were analyzed. Results (1)In the simple stent mechanical thrombectomy group,there were 37 patients with anterior circulation occlusion (90. 2%)and 4 with posterior circulation occlusion (9. 8%). In the stent mechanical thrombectomy combined with catheter suction group, there are 20 patients with anterior circulation occlusion (90. 9%)and 2 with posterior circulation occlusion (9. 1%). There were no significant differences between the two groups of patients (P<0. 05). After treatment, the large vessels achieved good recanaliazation (mTICI grade:Ⅱb-Ⅲ). (2)The mean recanalization time of the simple stent mechanical thrombectomy group was 86 ± 11 min and the mean number of arterial embolectomy was 2. 8 ± 0. 9 times. The complication rate after procedure was 14. 6%(5 symptomatic intracranial hemorrhages and 1 cardiac death). The patients of mRS 0-2 accounted for 51. 2%(21/41)at 90 days of follow-up. The mean recanalization time of the stent mechanical thrombectomy combined with catheter suction group was 83 ± 11 min and the mean number of arterial embolectomy was 2. 2 ± 0. 8 times. The compli-cation rate after procedure was 13. 6%(2 symptomatic intracranial hemorrhages and 1 cardiac death). The patients of mRS 0-2 accounted for 59. 1%(13/22)at 90 days of follow-up. There were significant differ-ences in the above indices between the two groups(all P<0.05).Conclusion Both intravenous throm-bolysis bridging simple stent mechanical thrombectomy and stent mechanical thrombectomy combined with catheter suction can quickly make the recanalization of intracranial occlusion of large artery,and the stent mechanical thrombectomy combined with catheter suction has a better recanalization rate. However, both techniques need to be further studied in improving the clinical prognosis of patients.
