Objective: To summarize and analyze the early outcomes and clinical experience in 1198 patients undergone off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB). Methods: This multi-center report covers 15 different institutes in China from October 1996 to May 2002. The ratio of OPCAB to conventional coronary artery bypass grafting (cCABG) was 85.2%. The mean age was (61.6?9.0) years. 77.3% patients were male and 22.7% were female. There were 34.6% patients with myocardial infarction, 58.2% with unstable angina pectoris, 18.7% with left main lesion, 76.9% with triple-vessel disease, 1.5% was redo surgery, and 9.9% emergent or urgent surgery. The mean left ventricular ejection fraction was 0.56?0.17. Results: The number of distal anastomosis was 3.1?0.9. IMA was used in 65.6% patients and radial artery was used in 18.0%. 13.5% OPCAB was combined with TMLR. IABP was used in 5.2% patients. The hospital mortality was 1.2%. The morbidity included 0.4% peri-operative myocardial infarction, 0.3% heart failure, 1.2% fatal arrhythmia, 2.0% pulmonary complications, 1.2% neurotic disorder, 0.7% renal dysfunction, 1.0% reopen for bleeding, and 0.6% delayed wound healing. Conclusion: OPCAB surgery is a safe and feasible procedure with good early results. Its late outcomes need further follow-up. OPCAB requires certain special skills and methods in practice so a specific training course should be designed.

Objective To investigate expression changes of Tau protein in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and oligodendrocytes (Ols) after stretch injury in rats and explore the relationship of Tau protein with pathological changes after axonal injury. Methods Morphological changes of optic nerves, RGCs and OLs after stretch injury were examined under light microscope in control group, stretch only group, heat stress only group and heat stress pretreatment plus stretch group. The expressions of Tau protein in RGCs and OLs after heat stress and/or stretch injury were observed by using immunohistechemical stai-ning. Results Pathological changes of axons, RGCs and OLs were identified morphologically or quan-titatively after stretch injury to the optic nerves, which was significantly ameliorated through pretreatment with heat stress plus stretch injury. The expressions of Tau protein in RGCs and OLs were increased in stretch only group. There was no significant expression change of Tau protein in heat stress only group. Expression of Tan protein was obviously decreased in heat stress pretreatment plus stretch group. Con-clusions Both neurons and glial cells are involved in pathological process after axonal injury. The ex-pression changes of Tau protein are probably related to delayed axotomy and neuron apoptosis. Heat stress can relieve the impairment of cystoskeleton through decreasing and delaying the expression of Tau protein.

Objective To study the differentiation and proliferation ability of the spinal neural stem cells (NSCs) at different gestational ages in fetal rats. Methods Sprague-Dawley fetal rats were divided into group A (12 days of pregnancy), group B (14 days of pregnancy) and group C (16 days of pregnancy). NSCs were separated with enzyme-assisted microdissection. The diameter and numbers of NSCs balls were measured at different time. The cell growth curve was drawn with CCK8 colorimeter. NSCs were identified with BrdU/Nestin immunohistochemical staining. They were induced with 10% fetal bovine serum for 10 days, and the expression of β-tubulinⅢ and glial fibrillary acidic protein was detected with immunocytochemistry. Results There were cells expressed BrdU, Nestin, β-tubulinⅢ and GFAP in all the group. The most cells (22.74±0.79%) expressed β-tubulinⅢ in the group B, but no significant difference between group B and group C. The cell vitality on the 5th day of third-generation neural stem cells was the most in group B. Conclusion For enzyme-assisted microdissection, it may obtain more neurons to isolate the neural stem cells from 14 days of pregnancy pregnant rats.

Effects of main environmental factors, such as temperature, pH , metal ions and anions, on expression and activity of bacterial extracellular car bonic anhydrase(CA) were studied, exemplified by a bacterium named GLRT102Ca, wh ich was separated from karst ecosystems of Southwest China. The results showed that the tested strain could express different activity of extracellular carboni c anhydrase within the scope of experimental temperature (10℃~50℃) and pH (5. 5~9.0). The activity of extracellular carbonic anhydrase was higher at tempera ture of 20℃~30℃ and at neutral and alkaline trending condition. Moreover, the expression of activity of extracellular carbonic anhydrase could be generally p romoted at the experimental range of concentration of 4 kinds of metal ions such as Ca2+, Mg2+, Zn2+ and Co2+, along with 8 kinds of ani ons such as SO2-_4, H_2PO-_4, NO-_3, NO-_2, Cl-,Br-, I- and HCO-_3. This research provides a cert ain theoretical basis for further study on the role of microbial CA in karst pro cesses.
