Objective To evaluate the outcome of patients with low ejection fraction undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.Methods One hundred and twenty-eight consecutive patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤35％,who underwent Off-pump caronary bypass surgery or Cardiopulmonary coronary artery bypass between December 2000 and Novomber 2010 were studied.The outcome of early complication,mortality,LVEF were analyzed.Results LVEF and LVEDD were significantly increased in early postoperation (P ＜ 0.05 ).Use of Intra-aotric balloon counterpulsation(IABP) can decrease early mortality,and postopertive respiratory tract infections,renal insufficiency were found to be the main complications.Conclusions Preoperative low ejection fraction has no relationship with postoperative early mortality.using medicine to adjust heart function,strcity control blood pressure,blood glucose,heart rate preoperation,positive use of IABP postoperativon are key point to decrease early mortality.

Objective:To investigate the role of alloreactive T cell in clonal deletion and regulatory T cells ( Treg) in transplant tolerance.Methods:F1 mice were bred by crossing female BALB/c mice and male C57BL/6 mice.Within 24 h,newborn C57BL/6 mice were inoculated with F1 spleen cells via the orbital branch of the anterior facial vein.Six weeks later,the mice were subjected to F1 skin grafting to evaluate their tolerance.Proliferation,flow cytometry and adoptive transfer assay were used to analyze clonal deletion of alloreactive T cells and the expression of CD4+Foxp3+T cells in neonatal treated mice.Results: Newborn C57BL/6 mice injected with F1 splenic cells could induce transplantation tolerance,the level of tolerance was associated with the dose of splenic cells.3×107 splenic cells from F1 mice could induce long-term skin graft acceptance in C57BL/6 mice ,1×107splenic cells significantly prolonged the survival of F1 skin grafts,but the grafts completely rejected within 50 days.The mixed lymphocyte reaction ( MLR) experiment in vivo showed that alloreactive T cell in long-term tolerant mice was deleted completely,but a certain amount of reactive T cells existed in the low-dose group mice.Flow cytometry ( FCM) analysis showed that the expression of CD4+Foxp3+T cell in the high-dose group and low-dose group mice had no obvious difference compared with the naive mice.When alloreactive T-cells were injected into tolerant mice,the skin graft rejection was observed,and Treg cells upregulated in graft-rejected mice.Conclusion:The degree of transplantation tolerance depended on the clonal deletion of alloreactive T cells,instead of on the expression of CD4+Foxp3+Treg cells.CD4+Foxp3+regulatory T cells upregulated in graft rejected mice,which may be served as a negative feedback mechanism to control the intensity of rejection.

Telomerase, as a highly specific ribonucleoprotein, is composed by the RNA template and protein subunits. It can delay or prevent the process of disc degeneration by maintaining telomere length homeostasis as well as affecting the p53-p21-pRb pathway, p16Ink41-pRb pathway and Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway. Telomerase can regulate the senescence and apoptosis of intervertebral disc cell, expected to prevention and repair reconstruction of the structure by telomerase gene therapy of intervertebral disc degeneration.

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of calcyclin binding protein (CacyBP)in the brain of rat model of traumatic brain injury(TBI).Methods Sixty 60 male SD rats were divided randomly into normal control group (n=10) and TBI group (n=50).The TBI model was created by using lateral head rotation device and subdivided into 6 h,24 h,72 h,7 d and 14 d group (10 rats per group).The expression and distribution of CacyBP in the rat brain was investigated immunohistochemically.The presence of the brown stained particles was considered aspositiveand lack of the stained particles agnegative. Results CacyBP was mainly distributed in the hippocampus,dentate gyrus and cortical neuron cytoplasm.Compared with the high level expression of CacyBP in the normal control group,the expression of CacyBP was decreased to the lowest in the rat brain at 6 h post TBI (P<0.01),became stronger gradually at 24 hours and recovered to normal at day 14,with no statistical difference compared with normal control group (P>0.05). Conclusion The lowest level expression of CacyBP after TBI indicates that CacyBP may play an important role in development of brain injury under effect of difierent mechanisms.

AIM Protective effects of extract of astragalus on injuries of global cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in rats and anoxia in mice. METHODS Acute anoxia in mice were produced by hypoxia under normal pressure and decapitation. In these two models the survival time and persistent time of gasping were observed. The global ischemia and reperfusion in rats was made by four-vessel occlusion (4-VO). After 20 min ischemia and 24 h reperfusion, the brain index and water content in brain was detected. MDA content and SOD activity of brain homogenate were tested. Endothelin concentration was determined both in plasma and hippocampus. The pathological changes of cortex tissue were observed by light microscope. RESULTS EA(50,100 mg?kg -1) significantly prolonged the survival time and persistent time of gasping in mice subjected to acute anoxia. EA(20,40,80 mg?kg -1) markedly reduced brain edema induced by global ischemia and reperfusion. EA(40,80 mg?kg -1) decreased MDA content and increased SOD activity in brain homogenate, and also inhibited ET concentration both in plasma and hippocampus. The pathological changes of cortex tissue were less serious in rats treated with EA. CONCLUSION EA has protective effects on cerebral ischemia and anoxia injuries that may relate to anti-oxidation and inhibition of ET production.

Objective To develop a fast, simple immunodiagnosis assay for early diagnosis of schistosomiasis. Methods The soluble cercariae antigen(SCA) labeled colloidal dye was used as the detecting antigen for schistosomiasis. A dipstick dye immunoassay(SCA-DDIA) for early diagnosis of schistosomiasis was established. The antibodies in sera of infected rabbits in early stage of infection by SCA-DDIA were detected and compared with SEA-DDIA. The sera from people with acute and chronic schistosomiasis and other parasitic diseases and from healthy people were tested by SCA-DDIA and SEA-DDIA. Results In infected rabbits during early stage of infection, the average time of antibody detected by SCA-DDIA was 22 d , at day 30 post-infection all experimental rabbits were positive with SCA-DDIA, the detected time was earlier than that with SEA-DDIA. The sensitivity of SCA-DDIA for acute, chronic schistosomiasis japonica were 100.0% and 93.3% respectively. The specificity for healthy persons was 99.0%. The cross reaction rates with paragonimiasis westermani, clonorchiasis sinensis and fasciolopsiasis buski were 26.3%, 0 and 0 respectively. The results were similar to that by SEA-DDIA. Conclusion The SCA-DDIA is more useful for early diagnosis of schistosomiasis.
