Aim To introduce an improved method of Langendorff perfusion of the isolated rat heart that is easy to determine the termination of digestion.Methods Hearts were excised quickly from anesthetized SD rats.After the perfusate was free of blood,the solution was changed to perfusion buffer(0.6% Collagenase B,0.6% BSA,30 ?mol?L-1 Ca2+ in Tyrode solution)at 37℃.Hearts were isolated by traditional and improved Langendorff perfusion.Individual myocardial cell was measured by video-based motion edge-detection system(IonOptix,USA).Results One group of heart was digested by traditional Langendorff perfusion for 13~16 min.The termination of digestion could not be judged properly by this method.The nature and quality of the cardiocytes were various.The cardiocytes could not keep their survival and viability when exposed to Tyrode Solution with 1.8 mmol?L-1 Ca2+.Another group was digested by improved Langendorff perfusion.More than 80% survival cardiac ventricle myocytes could be obtained by improved Langendorff perfusion.Moreover,about 50% cardiac myocytes exposed to Tyrode solution with 1.8 mmol?L-1 Ca2+ could retain rod-shaped and be used to contraction research.The contraction of cardiocyte was stabile within 1 000 s.Conclusion Cardiac myocytes disassociated from improved Langendorff perfusion can be used in these studies of detecting contraction and relaxation.This method is economical and easy to control.The beginners are able to acquire the technological method over a short-term practice.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the pathogenic bacteria distribution and drug resistance in inpatients of burn department,and instruct clinical application of antibiotics reasonably.METHODS Pathogenic bacteria were isolated from inpatients of burn department from 2003 to 2006.K-B slip diffusion method was taken to carry out the sensitive test.Rate of drug resistance of the pathogenic bacteria was analyzed.RESULTS Totally 1325 strains were isolated,among them 846 strains were Gram-negative bacteria,464 strains were Gram-positive ones,and 15 strains were fungi.The percentage of these three groups was 63.85%,35.02% and 1.13%,respectively.The main strains of the Gram-negative bacteria were Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Escherichia coli,Acinetobacter baumannii,Enterobacter cloacae and Klebsiella pneumoniae,and that of the Gram-positive bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus,Enterococcus and Staphylococcus epidermidis.The major strain of fungi was Candida albicans.The pathogenic bacteria tested showed high drug resistance.The detection rate of the meticillin-resistanct S.aureus(MRSA) was 82.12%.The detection rate of the ESBLs from the K.pneumoniae and the E.coli was 60.17% and 41.89%.CONCLUSIONS It was showed that the major pathogenic bacteria infected of the inpatients of burn department are Gram-negative bacteria.The pathogenic bacteria are the multidrug-resistant ones.Enhanced monitoring on pathogenic bacteria distribution and drug resistance analyses among inpatients of burn department could benefit for the guide of clinical rational administration and depression of multidrug-resistant bacteria.

Objective To evaluate the dyssynchrony of left ventricle in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy by two-dimensional speckle-tracking strain (2DS) and tissue velocity imaging (TVI).Methods Study population consisted of 37 dilated cardiomyopathy patients. High frame rate two-dimensional images were recorded from the left ventricular short-axis views at the levels of mitral annulus,papillary muscles and apex, and the apical four-chamber view, two-chamber view and long-axis of the left ventricle. The time to peak myocardial longitudinal systolic velocity was measured by TVI, 2DS was acquired to measure the time to peak radial strain in the short axis and the time to peak longitudinal strain inthe long axis,left ventricular synchronization index (△T) was defined as the difference of the time to peak value between anterior septum and posterior wall. Results △T measured by 2DS on the long axis and the short axis increased significantly compared with TVI(P<0.01) in the basal segment; 2DS on the short axis had a more significantly increased △T than TVI(P<0.01) in the middle segment. △T measured by 2DS on the short axis significantly increased in the basal and middle segment compared with 2DS on the long axis(P<0.05). Dyssynchrony eases and the detection rate of dyssynchrony measured by 2DS on the long axis were significantly higher than 2DS on the short axis and TVI(P<0.01). Dyssynchrony cases and the detection rate measured by 2DS on the short axis were higher than those measured by TVI, but the difference had no statistical significance. Conclusions The dyssynchrony detection rate measured by longitudinal strain of 2DS is significantly higher than TVI and radial strain.

Objective To analyze the characteristics and influencing factors of sleep disorders and nocturnal hypoxemia of patients with different degrees of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). Methods Four hundred and twenty-five patients with snoring were scored by Epworth Sleepiness Scale ( ESS), and monitored by polysomnography (PSG). The possible correlations between sleep structure, hypoxia parameters, ESS and clinical features were analyzed and compared in those patients. Results Four hundred and twenty-five patients were divided into 4 groups according to the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). There were 65 primary snoring patients (15.3%) and 360 OSAHS patients (84. 7% ) including 187 patients (44. 0% ) in severe OSAHS group. ESS was increased as aggravation of OSAHS. There were significant statistical differences in ESS among each group. Compared with primary snoring group, sleep efficiency, NREM1 + 2, oxygen desaturation index ( ODI), time with pulse oxygen saturation below 90% (T(SpO2 <90% ) ) were significantly higher in the OSAHS groups, and NREM3 +4, lowest pulse oxygen saturation level ( LSpO2 ) were lower. ESS was correlated positively with AHI (r= 0. 474,P <0. 01 ). They were both correlated positively with ODI, T (SpO2 <90% ) and NREM1 + 2( ESSr =0. 392, 0. 356,0. 194;AHI r = 0. 714, O. 682, 0. 365, all P < 0. 01 ), and correlated negatively with LSpO2, NREM3 + 4 ( ESS r = - 0. 414, - 0. 196; AHI r = - 0. 740, - 0. 385, both P < 0. 01 ). LSpO2, ODI and T (SpO2 < 90% ) were the primary influencing factors. Common clinical presentations and subjective symptoms were presented including daytime sleepiness, impaired memory, fatigue, dry mouth, oppressive wake and morning headache, etc. Percentage of individuals with daytime sleepiness in the severe OSAHS group was 73. 3% (137/187). These had serious impact on the patients' quality of life, leading to difficulty concentrating, poor memory and cognitive impairment. Conclusions Sleep disorders are found in the patients with different degrees of OSAHS. The excessive daytime sleepiness interrelated partly with the structure of sleep, and totally with hypoxia parameters. The more severity the patients have, the more nocturnal hypoxia, sleep disorders and higher ESS are found.

Objective To investigate changes in expressions of activation antigens CD69 and HLA-DR in CD3+T lymphocytes in peripheral blood and skin lesions in patients with psoriasis vulgaris. Methods Peripheral blood samples were obtained from 20 patients with psoriasis vulgaris and 20 healthy controls, and skin specimens from the lesions of 15 out of the 20 patients and 10 healthy controls. Flow cytometry was performed to quantify the expressions of CD69 and HLA-DR in peripheral blood CD3+T cells, and an immunohistochemical study to measure the expression of HLA-DR in skin specimens. Statistical analysis was carried out by a two-sample t-test and Pearson correlation analysis with the SPSS 19.0 software. Results Compared with the healthy controls, the patients with psoriasis vulgaris showed increased expression rates of CD69 (4.70%± 1.90%vs. 1.56%± 0.95%, t=6.629, P<0.01)and HLA-DR (8.97%± 1.79% vs. 3.02% ± 1.15%, t= 6.204, P< 0.01)in peripheral blood. Pearson correlation analysis revealed that the percentage of CD3+HLA-DR+cells in peripheral blood was positively correlated with the psoriasis area and severity index (PASI)score (r=0.5626, P<0.05). The expression rate of HLA-DR was significantly higher in the dermis (64.87%± 17.31%vs. 19.80%± 5.69%, t=7.916, P<0.01), but lower in the epidermis(11.80%± 5.55%vs. 27.40%± 8.61%, t=5.479, P<0.01)in the psoriatic specimens compared with the control specimens. Immunohistochemically, HLA-DR was widely expressed in the dermis of psoriatic lesions, but mainly distributed around blood vessels in the control skin. Conclusions There is an aberrant activation of CD3+T cells in peripheral blood and inflammatory cells in skin lesions in patients with psoriasis vulgaris, and the percentage of CD3 +HLA-DR+ cells in peripheral blood is correlated with the severity of psoriasis vulagaris.

Objective To investigate the changes of gastric emptying in awake rats after acute myocardial infarction(AMI). Methods The male Wistar rats were submitted to thoracotomy followed by or not by occlusion of the left coronary artery. After 24 h, AMI(n=12)and sham groups (n=9)were fed in gavage(1 ml)with ~(99m)-Tc-DTPA labeled test meal. Half gastric emptying time (GET1/2) and 50min residual rate were measured by single photon emission computed tomography. The rats of AMI group were sacrificed after 50 min. Plasma level of motilin was measured by radioimmunoassay in AMI and sham group respectively(n=9). Results GET1/2 was significantly higher in AMI group[(23.1?4.7)min] than in sham group[(16.0?4.0)min](P

Objective To study the biodistribution of anti-HER-2/neu monoclonal antibody Herceptin labeled by 131I(131I-Herceptin) in healthy KM mice and nude mice bearing human ovarian cancer xenografts and radioimmunoimaging (RII) of the nude xenografts-bearing mice.Methods 131I-Herceptin was prepared using Iodogen method.The labeling efficiency, radiochemical purity, stability and immunocompetence were measured.The percentage activity of injection dose per gram of tissue (%ID/g) and the radioactivity ratio of tumor to non-tumor tissue (T/NT) were calculated for each time point.The optimal time for imaging was investigated by comparing the 131I-Herceptin SPECT for the nude mouse models bearing ovarian cancer xenografts at different time points.Results The labeling efficiency and radiochemical purity of 131I-Herceptin were 89.8% and 98.4%, respectively.The labeling was stable and had good immunocompetence.131 I-Herceptin was cleared rapidly mainly through liver, spleen and kidneys, consistent with first order two-compartment model.The uptake of 131I-Herceptin in the tumors bearing human SKOV-3 xenografts was much higher than that in nontumor tissue.The% ID/g was 18.08 in the tumor at 24 h post injection.The T/NT ratio increased with time and was 27.27 at 72 h post injection.The tumors in nude mice bearing SKOV-3 xenografts could be visualized on 131I-Herceptin SPECT imaging 2 h post injection; definitely identiffed 48 h post injection and the radioactivity ratio of tumor to contralateral tissue was 11.44 at 120 h post injection.However, the tumor in nude mice bearing HO-8910 xenografts did not show abnormal uptake of 131 I-Herceptin at each time point.Conclusions 131 I-Herceptin is a good radiopharmaceutical targeting SK-OV-3 xeuografts and it may be useful in imaging carcinoma of ovary and target therapy of its metastases with high HER-2/neu expression.
