BACKGROUND: Coronary occlusion and balloon occlusion are two major methods in preparing acute myocardium infarction models. The pigs were expensive and the modeis will periorm further study,therefore,it is necessary to prepave a model with advantage of short time consuming, few trauma, and high survival rate.OBJECTIVE: To establish acute myocardium infarction in miniature pigs induced by coronary occlusion and balloon occlusion,and to compare the differences.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The randomized grouping, contrast observation animal experiment was performed at the heart intervention room of The First Affiliated Hospital of Kun Ming Medical College between May 8~(th) and August 3~(rd), 2009.MATERIALS: A total of 20 Banna miniature pigs, weighing 20-30 kg, irrespective of genders, were purchased from animal department of Kunming Medical College. The animals were equally divided into embolism and occlusion groups.METHODS: In the embolism group, the balloon was implanted into distal end of anterior descending coronary via femoral artery,blocked the forward flow with 202.65 kPa pressure for 1, 2, and 5 minutes, with 60 seconds interval. The same operation was performed in the occlusion group, followed by blocked the forward flow for successive 60 minutes.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Differences of modes established by 2 methods were compared by coronary opacification, ECG,myocardium zymogram, ultrasonic cardiogram and pathology detection.RESULTS: Nine pigs were survived in the embolism group, and the remained 1 pig died of coronary artery rupture. After operation, T wave inversion could be found, without ST stage raise. At day 1 after operation, correlated lead ST stage was raised 0.1-0.2 mV. The operation duration was 11 hours. In the occlusion group, 5 pigs survived, 4 pigs died of ventricular fibrillation,and 1 died without definite cause. The operation cost 24 hours, and the correlated lead ST stage was increased 0.2-0.3 mV postoperatively. Motion abnormality in infarction place was exhibited in both groups; ventricular aneurysm was formed in 3 pigs in the embolism group, and 1 in the occlusion group. Levels of creatine kinase isoenzymes serum troponin T were obviously stepped up and presented dynamic changes. The myocardiolysis was obviously showed in the infarcted areas, but the differences were no obviously in 2 groups.CONCLUSION: Both coronary occlusion and balloon occlusion can induce models of acute myocardium infarction. The coronary occlusion method is superior to balloon occlusion with few trauma, faster postoperative recover and low mortality rates.

Background Many researches have reported the high proliferation ability of pterygium tissue.However,the origin of cells in pterygium tissue and their role in pathogenesis and recurrence of pterygium are below understand up to now.Objective This study is to explore the role of bone marrow derived stem cells and progenitor cells in the pathogenesis of pterygium.Methods Informed consent was obtained from 12 patients with the pterygium stretching the edge of the pupil prior to this trail.Pterygium specimen was obtained from 8 patients with primary pterygium and 4 patients with recurrent pterygium during the operation.The normal conjunctival tissue was obtained from the location of 10 mm from the pterygium in the operation eye.The expression levels of marker of the primitive haematopoietic progenitors(AC133),marker of the haematopoietic progenitor cells and endothelium (CD_(34)),marker of haematopoietic and stromal progenitor cells (C KIT ),and differentiation antigen of bone marrow fibroblast cells and nonhaematopoietic progenitor cells 1 (STRO 1) were detected by using immunohistochemistry.Results Various progenitor cell markers originated from bone marrow,including CD_(34),AC133,C KIT,STRO 1,were positively expressed in pterygium specimen rather than normal conjunctival specimen mainly in the basal epithelium or stroma of pterygia tissue.Majority of the positive cells were seen in the head of pterygium.C KIT positive cells were observed mainly in the basal epithelium and stroma of pterygium.The morphology of positive cells varied upon different distribution.Fibroblast like and spindle shaped positive cells were seen in the stroma layer of pterygium,and round or ovoid shaped cells were in basal epithelial layer.The distribution and shape of positive cells for AC133 and CD_(34) were similar to ones of C KIT but numbers of cells were varied between them.C KIT,AC133 and CD_(34) positive cells were coexpressed in basal epithelium and vascular endothelium.Expression of STRO 1 was found in the stroma layer not in the basal epithelium of pterygium.Similar distribution,numbers and shape of positive cells were seen between recurrent and primary pterygium.Conclusion The cells with stem cells markers and progenitor cells markers originated from bone marrow may play a role in the pathogenesis of pterygium.

BACKGROUND:Extracorporeal cardiac shock wave therapy (CSWT) can up-regulate angiogenic factors and its receptors,promote angiogenesis and collateral circulation establishment by introducing shock waves to myocardium,however,the specific mechanisms remain unclearly.OBJECTIVE:To observe the influence of CSWT on the content of serum endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in pigs following acute myocardial infarction (AMI).METHODS:Pig AMI model was established by embolizing the distal of left anterior coronary artery.Following model preparation,pigs were randomly divided into 2 groups.In the experimental group received three CSWT at days 1,3 and 5,200 hits per point,totally 12 points,with 0.09 mJ/mm~2 energy.Pigs with simple AMI were served as the control group.The serum eNOS level was detected by ELISA method before,immediate postoperative,and at days,1,3,5,and weeks 1,2,3,and 4 after operation.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The eNOS level of both groups were obvious decreased at immediate postoperative than that before operation.At day 1 after CSWT,eNOS level was increased in the experimental group,which was still decreased in the control group.It revealed that CSWT play a positive effect on ischemia rnyocardium.The eNOS level reached a peak in the experimental group after 3 times of CSWT,lasted for 2-3 weeks,and began to decrease at week 4.The difference between the experimental group and control group had significance (P＜0.01).The results demonstrated that CSWT can treat AMI effectively by promoting eNOS expression.

Objective To prepare an internal quality control substance of free hemoglobin (FHb),and evaluate its perform-ance.Methods ① 5 normal whole human blood samples with known hemoglobin (Hb)concentration was selected and dilu-ted with distilled water in the ratio of 1∶500,1∶1 000,1∶2 000,1∶4 000 respectively.After 20 FHb solutions was fully mixed,the concentration of FHb solutions was tested and compared with its theoretical data.②One of the highest value and the lowest value solutions were chosen as qualitye control substance,packed and stored in -20℃ fridge.Each group was an-alyzed 20 days continuously in the routine conditions,where average (-x )of the groups,standards deviation (s )and coeffi-cients of variation (CV)were calculated and Levey-Jennings control chart was conducted.Then,the test was repeated every week,and the data on the chart was updated accordingly until (CV)of the reagents were changed.The average (-x)of the-groups,standards deviation (s)and coefficients of variation uality control material was calculated during the whole test peri-od.Results ①The theoretical value (-x ±s)of the concentration of free hemoglobin was 125.44±93.04 mg/L,and the actu-al value was 125.22±93.08 mg/L,there was no statistic significance (t value was 0.706,P >0.05).② During 20 continu-ously daystest,the detected values (-x ±s)of the highest quality control material was 303.55±3.70 mg/L;the values of the lowest quality control material was 69.29 ± 1.88 mg/L.The coefficients were 1.22% and 2.68% respectively.Both the highest and the lowest quality control material were under control during the whole detecting period.The (-x ±s )values of the highest was 302.56±3.99 mg/L,the CV value of it was 1.32%;The (-x ±s)values of the lowest was 69.04±1.88 mg/L,the CV value of it was 2.71%.Conclusion The preparation method of internal quality control substance of free hemoglo-bin is convenient and stable,and was applicable in blood station’s and clinical laboratory.
