Objective To investigate the effects of CD40-P227A SNP at human B cell signaling and function. Methods Human Ramos B cells were transfected with plasmids of CFP fusion wild type CD40 and mutant type CD40-P227A, together with plasmids of luciferase fusion NF-κB and AP-1, as well as plasmids of GFP fusion NF-κB. Activation of NF-κB and AP-1 pathway were detected by luciferase assay and flow cytometry, degradation of IκBα and nuclear translocation of NF-κB subunits were tested by Western blot and transfactor ELISA assay. Results Compared with wild type CD40, CD40-P227A SNP induced more degradation of IκBα, increased nuclear translocation of p65, p50 and c-Rel. As well as higher activity of NF-κB, as shown by increased NF-κB luciferase and GFP-NF-κB expressing B cells. Moreover, CD40-P227A SNP induced more activation of AP-1 pathway than CD40. CD40-P227A enhanced B cells function by inducing more excretion of IL-6 and TNF-α. Conclusion Our data indicate that CD40-P227A is a gain-of-function phenotype which induces activation of NF-κB and AP-1 signaling pathways and may contribute to the pathogenesis of the SLE autoimmune disease.

Objective The cardiac synchronization therapy (CRT) was proven to have good treatment for the cardiac conduction disorders patients with serious heart failure. But many disadvantages were gradually be noticed, such as difficulty of sinus electrode implantation, coronary sinus injury and bleeding, still one third CRT cases remain unchanged cardiac function.Recently the epicardial lead CRT therapy by the cardiac surgeons appears promising to provide better clinic resynchronization.The aim of this research is to explore the clinical value of surgical epicardial lead CRT for the cardiomyopathy heart failure with micro-invasive thoracoscopy techniques. Methods During April 2007 to Sep 2009 eleven patients were diagnosed as advanced heart failure with cardiac dysynchronization proven by the ECG and tissue Doppler echo examination. The dysynchronization parameters of tissue Doppler echo includes left ventricle maximize delay time , the left dysynchronization index (Ts-SD), the inter-ventricle mechanical delay time (IVMD), left ventricle end-dilation diameters (LVEDD) and the left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF). All the patients got the consent agreement before the surgery. In the hybrid operation room the right atrial and ventricle endocardial electrodes were placed firs guided by X ray under the general anesthesia and double lumnen incubation. Then the thoracoscope techniques were used to explore the left ventricle lateral wall. The right atrial and ventricle electrodes were connected into the three chamber pacemaker. The Tissue Doppler Echo TEE technique was used to check which part of the left ventricle lateral wall is suitable for the idea CRT therapy. Usually the latest activated part of the left ventricle wall is the goal place. Then the epicardial electrode was fixed with 4-0 prolene suture at the idea place. All the cases were performed by the same surgeons group in the same medical center. The resynchronization features were examined after surgery and during the follow up. Results The endocardial and epicardial electrodes were implanted successfully without any serious complication. All patients were weaned and discharged without any adverse cardiac episodes. There is no mortality during the follow up period. All the patients received the β-blokers, diuretics, ACEI/ARB and other traditional medicine for the heart failure.The Tissue Doppler showed the E peak wave separated form the A peak which means the good resynchronization between the atrium and the ventricle. After surgery during the follow up the left ventricle maximize delay time decreased from (393.4 ±40.2 ) ms to ( 102.1 ± 34.6) ms, the left dysynchronization index (Ts-SD) decreased from (145.2±29.3)ms to(51.0±21.4) ms, the inter-ventricle mechanical delay time (IVMD) decreased from (59.1 ±23.4) ms to (31.2 ± 11.5 ) ms, left ventricle end-dilation diameters increased from (73.1 ± 13.4) mm to (63.2 ± 6.7) mn and the left ventricle ejection fraction increased from 0.32 ±0.04 to 0.41 ±0.07. Conclusion The micro-invasive surgical synchronization therapy could get good CRT result for the cardiomyopathy heart failure patients. Some patients traditionally in the waiting list for the heart transplant could be considered for the CRT therapy candidates.

AIM: To examine the effect of pretreatment with low-concentration of 11, 12-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid(EET) on myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats. METHODS: After tracheotomy, myocardial ischemia/reperfusion was produced by occlusion and release of the left anterior descending artery(LAD) of the rats. Ischemic preconditioning(IP) was made by two times of ischemia (5 min)/reperfusion (5 min). The experiment was conducted in three groups: control,IP and pretreatment with 11,12-EET(6.24?10 -8 mol/L), and each group was subdivided into two subgroups:A,the rats were subjected to ischemia (10 min)/reperfusion (10 min) and arrhythmias during the whole periods were monitored; The rats in B were subjected to ischemia (60 min)/reperfusion (30 min) and arrhythmias, cardiac funtion and myocardial infarction size were documented. RESULTS: Both IP and pretreatment with 11,12-EET could protect the heart against arrhythmias, cardiac disfunction and myocardial infarction. CONCLUSION: Pretreatment with 11,12-EET had protective effect on myocardium in case of ischemia/reperfusion, which was similar to ischemic preconditioning.
