Objective: To explore the correlation among overweight, obesity and markers of prethrombotic state in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods: A total of 288 patients to hospital from 2013 to 2014 and diagnosed as CHD by coronary angiography were selected. According to body mass index (BMI), they were divided into CHD control group (n=106), overweight group (n=121) and obesity group (n=61). Levels of fibrinogen (Fg), plasma D dimmer (D-D), von Willebrand factor (vWF), antithrombin Ⅲ (AT-Ⅲ) and plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-1 were compared among three groups, then received correlation analysis.Results: Compared with CHD control group, there were significant rise in levels of triglyceride, total cholesterol, fasting blood glucose and mean arterial pressure, morbidity rates of hypertension and diabetes mellitus in overweight group and obesity group, P<0.05 or <0.01. Compared with CHD control group, there were significant rise in levels of Fg [(2.89±0.60) g/L vs. (3.54±0.63) g/L vs. (3.92±0.94) g/L], D-D [(282.13±73.15) ng/ml vs. (390.04±73.54) ng/ml vs. (471.92±80.38) ng/ml], vWF [(108.62±24.66)% vs. (138.45±25.96)% vs. (161.20±29.39)%] and PAI-1 [(6.97±1.28) ng/ml vs. (9.60±1.73) ng/ml vs. (12.33±2.16) ng/ml] in overweight group and obesity group, P<0.01 all, and those of obesity group were significantly higher than those of overweight group, P<0.01 or <0.05; AT-Ⅲ level [(89.94±17.99)% vs. (69.89±20.22)%] significantly reduced in obesity group (P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis indicated that BMI was positively correlated with markers of prethrombotic state [Fg: r=0.536, P<0.001; D-D: r=0.250, P<0.001; vWF: r=0.611, P<0.001;PAI-1: r=0.788,P<0.001). Conclusion: BMI is positively correlated with markers of prothrombotic state in CHD patients.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the aquaporin-4(AQP4) expression in the ischemic penumbra tissues.Methods Thirty-six Wistar rats were divided into 7 groups randomly, including control group(n=6) and occluded groups(n=30). The occluded groups were studied after the right middle cerebral artery of the rats unilaterally occluded(MCAO) at an interval of 15 min, 30 min, 1 h, 3 h, 6 h and 24 h, respectively(n=5 for each group). The operation process of the control group was the same as the occluded group except occluded MCAO. Then all rats were imaged with T_1WI, T_2WI and diffusion weighted-imaging(DWI). The brain tissue, according to the method by LIU Meili reported, was regarded as the area of the graphic penumbra. The relative apparent diffusion coefficient of the graphic-penumbra (rADC_1) and the center infarction(rADC_2)(ratios between the values of the occluded side and the opposite side) were calculated. The animals were sacrificed and perfused with the mixture solution consisting of TTC at different time intervals. The graphic-penumbra of the biggest layer of the ischemic cerebral tissue which corresponded to the DWI was examined with immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR. Meanwhile, histologic examination was performed at same site of the lesion. Results There were no significant changes on MRI, the relative apparent diffusion coefficient and the expression of the AQP4. The abnormal high intensity was found on DWI at 15 min after MCAO. T_2WI detected the lesion at 1 h after MCAO. The value of the rADC_1 decreased within 24 h after MCAO in ischemic penumbra, especially, it descended quickly within 1 h after MCAO, from(70.4?6.9)% at 15 min to(53.5?10.9)% at 1 h. Whereas, in the infarct tissue, the changes of the rADC_2 had a rule of decrease from(71.5?6.6)% at 15 min to(45.7?10.5)% at 3 h at first time, and then follow an increasing up to(78.7?11.5)% at 24 h after MCAO. The expression of AQP4 increased gradually within 24 h after MCAO, from 0.42?0.05 at 15 min to 1.18?0.12 at 24 h, it showed negative relationship with the rADC_1 in the ischemic penumbra (r= -0.966,P

Objective: To establish primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) animal model induced by anti-platelet membrane glycoprotein GPⅠbα antibodies AN51 and R300. Methods: Twenty guinea pigs (6-8 week) were divided into 4 groups. Five guinea pigs in each group were intravenously injected with different doses of AN51 (0.05, 0.1, 0.2 μg/g) and 0.2 μg/g IgG as control. The whole blood was collected from inner angular venous plexus. Platelets number was determined by an automated cell counter and Swiss-Jim method. Then, the similar protocol was used to establish ITP nude mice model by intraperitoneal injection of different concentrations of anti-platelet GPⅠbα antibody R300, respectively. Results: ①Five minutes after intravenous injection of AN51 at 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 μg/g, the platelet counts of guinea pigs reduced about 0-5%, 50%-60% and 70%-80% compared to the control group, respectively. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.01) . ②Six hours after intraperitoneal injection of R300 at 0.05, 0.1, 0.2 μg/g, the platelet counts of nude mice decreased about 20%-30%, 60%-70% and 80%-90% compared to the control group, respectively. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.01) . The nude mice, injected 0.2 μg/g R300 once a day for 2 weeks, showed typical ITP clinical manifestations including large number of petechiaes or ecchymoses on limbs, head and abdomen. Conclusion AN51 at 0.2 μg/g and R300 at 0.2 μg/g could establish stable ITP model in guinea pigs and nude mice respectively.
