Objective:To investigate the effect of simvastatin on cardiomyocyte apoptosis and cardiac dysfuction after myocardial infarction.Method:Simvastatin was administrated to the rats with myocardial infarction which was modeled by left anterior descending coronary artery ligation. After 7days, the apoptotic myocyte cells were quantified by TUNEL staining;left ventricular function index was measured by echocardiography and the level of serum lipid was measured by biochemical method.Results:Compared with infarction group, apoptotic myocyte cells in simvastatin group significantly decreased in infarction zone,border zone and non-infarction zone(P0.05).Conclusion:Simvastatin inhibits cardiomyocyte apoptosis and improves cardiac function after myocardial infarction.

Arterioportal shunt often occurs in hepatocellular carcinoma of advanced stage, with obvious decrease of the survival rate. The proper management of arterioportal shunt correlates directly with patient's prognosis. This comprehansive article reviews the interventional management of arterioportal shunt for hepatic carcinoma from literatures during recent years. (J Intervent Radiol, 2006, 15: 312-314)

Objective To investigate the clinical manifestations and imaging features of moyamoya disease (MMD).Method The clinical manifestations and the results of CT angiography ( CTA ) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) examinations of 162 cases diagnosed with M MD were analyzed retrospectively.Results In 162 patients with MMD, 132 cases (81.48% ) had stroke, in which cerebral infarction and transient ischemic attack (TIA) were 20 cases, intraventricular hemorrhage were 48 cases, cerebral hemorrhage were 52 cases, subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) were 10 cases and acute subdural hemorrhage were 2 cases; 8 cases(4.94%) had simple migraine and 22 cases(13.58%) had simple epilepsy.All the patients were with typical imaging findings: ( 1 ) The central branch of the internal carotid artery,bilateral internal carotid artery clinoid segment and proximal arterial stenosis or occlusion was the main performance of MMD.(2) Abnormal vascular network in the skull base was the most feature of MMD changes.(3) The performance of collateral circulation.Conclusions CTA and DSA can be used for the diagnosis of MMD patients.DSA is the gold standard for diagnosis of MMD.

Injection Stauntoniae (IS ) was applied ou a part of the saphenous nerve of rat 4mm in length. With 50% IS, amplitudes of A??, A? and C components of the compound action polential were reduced and their latencics were delayed. In particular, the amplitudcs of A? and C components reduced to 47.0% ? 23.o% and 44.0?20.0% (MEAN?SD, n = 8, P

To investigate the prevalence and the antibiotic resistance of bacteria isolated from 25 miniature pigs. 45 bacterial strains were isolated, which were identified by biochemical assays, amplification of 16S rRNA genes by PCR and sequence analysis, and were evaluated for resistance to 30 antibiotics. The identification results showed that these bacteria belonged to Campylobacter (Campylobacter jejuni), Helicobacterium (Helicobacter pylori), Klebsiella (Klebsiella pneumoniae), Escherichia (Escherichia coli, Escherichia fergusonii), Pseudomonas (Pseudomonas aeruginosa), Stenotrophomonas (Stenotrophomonas maltophilia), Staphylococcus (Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus haemolyticus, Staphylococcus simulans), Streptococcus (Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus suis, Streptococcus vestibularis, Streptococcus mitis, Gemella measles, Aerococcus viridans) and Bacillus (Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus alvei, Bacterium megaterium). These bacteria were all susceptible to aztreonam and cephalothin. However, the resistence to furazolidone was found. Microbial population carried by miniature pigs in China had characters of diversity. Results of this study provided scientifical accordance for the microorganism monitoring of miniature pigs in China.

AIM To test the hypothesis that intravenous liposomal prostaglandin E 1 (Lipo PGE 1) would attenuate reperfusion injury in a rabbit ischemia reperfusion model. METHODS Twenty four open chest rabbits were randomized to receive a 10 minute intravenous infusion of either liposome diluent (placebo), free PGE 1 (2 ?g?kg -1 ), or Lipo PGE 1(2 ?g?kg -1 PGE 1) after 60 minutes of left anterior desending (LAD) ligation just before reperfusion. Carotid arterial pressure and electrocardiogram were monitored and recorded continously throughout the whole experiment. After 2 hours reperfusion, infarct size and region at risk were measured by postmortem dual dyes with triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) and Evans blue. Myocardial leukocyte infiltration by myeloperoxidase (MPO) assay was performed. RESULTS Infarct size as a ratio of weight of infarcted tissue to weight of region at risk (MI/RISK) was significantly reduced with Lipo PGE 1 32.20%?4.70% compared with PGE 1 42.09%?6.93% or placebo 44.57%?5.46% ( P

Objective To analyze the effect of polydatin on cardiac function and mitochondrion of platelet in peripheral blood of patients with severe hemorrhagic shockpolydatin.Methods 60 patients with severe hemorrhagic shock from January 2010 to May 2015 in the hospital were selected.The control group adopted the intravenous therapy of normal saline and transfusion therapy and observation group adopted polydatin (10mg/kg) and transfusion therapy.After treatment, the cardiac function index including heart ejection fraction and and cardiac output, protein kinase C (PKC), ATP levels in mitochondria of platelet, platelet mitochondrial membrane potential and lipid peroxide ( LPO ) in platelet were compared between two groups.Results After treatment, the ejection fraction and cardiac output of two groups increased compared with pre-treatment ( P <0.05 ) , and the above indicators in observation group increased compared with control group (P<0.05).After treatment, PKC content in cell membrane and cytoplasm increased compared with pre-treatment (P<0.05), and the above indicators in observation group increased compared with control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the ATP level in two groups increased compared with pre-treatment (P<0.05), and the above indicator in observation group increased compared with control group ( P <0.05 ).After treatment, platelet cell rate of low mitochondrial membrane potential in observation group decreased compared with pre-treatment (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in control group, the above indicator in observation group was lower than that in control group (P<0.05).After treatment, LPO content in observation group decreased compared with pre-treatment (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in control group, the above indicator in observation group was lower than that in control group (P<0.05).Conclusion The injury of mitochondrion plays an important role in occurrence and development of severe hemorrhagic shockpolydatin.The function of peripheral blood platelet mitochondrion could be seen as a simple index of judging the state of shock.After the application of protective agent of mitochondrion, the function of mitochondrion is protected.The cardiac function is also improved.It has an important significance for the diagnosis of severe shock.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in Beijing. Methods A cross-sectional study was performed at Beijing communities in men aged over 50 years. The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) questionnaire was used to evaluate the symptoms. Transabdominal ultrasonography was used to measure prostate size and the residual urine volume(RUV). Uroflowmetry was performed to record the maximum flow(Q_(max)). One-way ANOVA was used to analysis the differences. Results 1644 subjects were enrolled and the mean age was 64. 5 years (range 50 - 93 years). The mean IPSS, prostate weight andQ_(max) were 9. 9±8. 2, (30. 8± 19.4) and (14. 7 ± 7. 5)ml/s, respectively. They had correlation with age (r=0. 388,0. 262, - 0.371). The prevalence of moderate-severe lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) was 50. 8% (835/1644). Prostate volume was greater than 20 ml in 69. 7%(1146/1644) of the subjects.Q_(max) was less than 15 ml/s in 53. 8% (883/1642) of the subjects. Conclusions In men age over 50 years in Beijing, there is positive correlation between LUTS, prostate size and age, and negative correlation between Q_(max) and age. The prevalence of BPH, defined as IPSS greater than 7, maxium flow rate less than 15 ml/s and prostate size greater than 20 ml, is 26. 8%(441/1644).
