Objective To investigate the myocardial protection effect of dexmedetomidine hydrochloride during off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Methods Forty patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting were randomly divided into two groups:control group (group C) and dexmedetomidine group (group D).Dexmedetomidine hydrochlo-ride was given at a loading dose of 0. 5 μg?kg-1 to patients in group D, and then infused continuously at a rate of 0.5 μg?kg-1?h-1.The same amount of saline was given to patients in group C. After loading dosing,general anesthesia was per-formed with TCI technique.Trans-esophagus Doppler monitoring was conducted to monitor the blood volume and heart function, and close monitoring of fluid infusion to maintain stable circulation.Invasive blood pressure and heart rate were recorded every 5 min. Blood samples were taken for detection of cTnI,CK-MB,TNF-αand IL-6 contents at the following time points:after induction ( t0 ) ,before operation ( t1 ) ,after operation ( t2 ) ,12 h postoperation ( t3 ) and 24 h postoperation ( t4 ) . Results The blood pressure and heart rate decreased significantly at t0 and t1 in group D compared with group C,and there were no significant differ-ences in the two indexes at other time points between the two groups.Blood CK-MB,cTnI and inflammation factors TNF-α,IL-6 were much higher at t2,t3,t4 than at t0 and t1 in both groups(P<0.05).They were significantly decreased at t2,t3,t4 in group D relative to group C (P<0.05).Vessel active medicines were less given after the operation in group D (P<0.05). Conclusion Dexmedetomidine hydrochloride can mitigate the inflammation responses caused by off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting,re-duce the myocardial injury and improve the cardiac function of the patients.

Listeria monocytogenes (LM), a Gram-positive facultative intracellular bacterium, can be used as an effective exogenous antigen expression vector in tumor-target therapy. But for successful clinical application, it is necessary to construct attenuated LM stain that is safe yet retains the potency of LM based on the full virulent pathogen. In this study, attenuated LM and recombinants of LM expressing melanoma inhibitory activity (MIA) were constructed successfully. The median lethal dose (LD(50)) and invasion efficiency of attenuated LM strains were detected. The recombinants were utilized for immunotherapy of animal model of B16F10 melanoma. The level of MIA mRNA expression in tumor tissue was detected by using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with specific sequence, meanwhile the anti-tumor immune response was assayed by flow cytometric analysis and enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot (ELISPOT) assay. The results showed the toxicity and invasiveness of attenuated LM were decreased as compared with LM, and attenuated LM expressing MIA, especially the double-genes attenuated LM recombinant, could significantly induce anti-tumor immune response and inhibit tumor growth. This study implicates attenuated LM may be a safer and more effective vector for immunotherapy of melanoma.

Objective To explore the related factors affecting the formation of different types of thrombosis in patients with STEMI. Methods Retrospective data were collected from September 2014 to October 2018 in Henan Province People's Hospital for emergency interventional treatment of patients with STEMI. According to the type of thrombus detected by OCT, they were divided into two groups, which were red thrombus group and white thrombus group. Clinical baseline data, coronary angiographic findings, and OCT results were collected in patients with STEMI. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the type of thrombosis in patients with STEMI. Results The rate of thrombus detection was 100% in 92 patients with STEMI. According to OCT diagnostic criteria, 73 (79.3%) patients were classified into red thrombus and 19 (20.7%) were white thrombus. There was no significant difference in infarct-related artery and location between the two groups (P>0.05) , but there was more multiple vascular lesions in the white thrombus group than that in the red thrombus group. There was significant difference in the incidence of plaque rupture and thin fibrous cap in the two groups (P<0.05). The incidence of plaque rupture and thin fibrous cap lipid plaque was higher in the red thrombus group. Plaque rupture (OR = 2.894, 95%CI:2.704-2.956) , thin fibrous cap plaque (OR = 8.033, 95%CI: 7.985-8.283) , single vessel disease (OR = 1.746, 95% CI: 1.659-1.785) are risk factors for red thrombosis formation. Conclusion Single vessel lesion, plaque rupture andthin fibrous cap lipid plaque are associated with red thrombus formation.While, multiple vessel lesions and stable plaque are associated with white thrombus formation.
