To investigate the relationship between endothelium dysfunction and experimental vasospasm, twenty-eight New Zealand white rabbits were randomly allocated into three groups: sham operation control group(Group 1, n=8), balloon endothelial denudation + normal diet group (Group 2, n=8) and balloon endothelial denudation + hypercholesterol diet group (Group 3, n=12). Angiography was performed to detect the vasospasm induced by ergonovine and endothelium-dependent vasodilator response induced by acetylcholine before and immediately after denudation and 8 week later. Visible vasospasm was induced at the denuded sites in group 3, and endothelium dysfunction was also found in the same locations. Positive correlation was showed between vasospasm and endothelium dysfunction. Endothelium dysfunction resulted from balloon endothelial denudation and hypercholesterolemia may play an important role in the pathogenesis of experimental vasospasm.

Objective To evaluate the effect of tirofiban injection in coronary artery occlusion by suction catheter on the opening time of the coronary artery occlusion , the improvement of the blood flow and the incidence of adverse events in 30 days. Methods A total of 97 patients with acute myocardial infarction in recent 4 years were included , whose culprit vessels were subtotal occlusion or total occlusion by angiography and were randomly divided into thrombus aspiration group (group A) and tirofiban injection in occlusion and thrombus aspiration group (group B). The opening time of the coronary artery, the improvement of the blood flow and the incidence of adverse events in 30 days were compared between two groups. Results The opening time of the coronary artery occlusion in group A was shortened when compared with group B but the blood flow arriving TIMI III grade in group B was shorter (P < 0.05). No-reflow incidence in group B was lower while the proportion of blood flow arriving TIMI III grade was higher than that in group A in early phase (P < 0.05). The incidence of adverse events in 30 days was decreased in group B when compared with group A ,but the difference wasn't statistically significant (P > 0.05). Conclusion Direct tirofiban injection in coronary artery occlusion could effectively shorten the opening time of the coronary artery occlusion reduce no-reflow incidence , and improve coronary perfusion but could not decrease the incidence of adverse cardiovascular events in 30 days.

Objective:To detect the effect of Celecoxib on the proliferation and apoptosis of human nasopha-ryngeal carcinoma cell line CNE-2. Method:The growth inhibition rate of CNE-2 by Celecoxib was evaluated with MTT method. Apoptosis related morphology changes were observed with transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The cell cycle and apoptosis were measured with flow cytometric method (FCM). Apoptotic index ( AI) was counted by the TDT-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end-labeling (TUNED assay. Result: The growth of CNE-2 cell was inhibited by celecoxib in a dose-and time-dependent manner. Apoptosis with nuclear chromatin condensa-tion, cell shrinkage, periplast loss and the formation of apoptotic bodies was observed with TEM. Apoptotic rates of CNE-2 cells treated with 80 and 100 μmol/L celecoxib were (10. 47±0. 18)% and (20. 17±0. 55)% respective-ly, significantly higher than those of the control group (1. 57±0. 27)% with FCM. The percentage of G_0/G_1 phase cells increased, whereas the S and G_2/M phases cells decreased in a dose-dependent manner after the treatment. TUNEL assay showed that the apoptosis ratio( AI) of CNE-2 treated with Celecoxib was higher than control group (P<0. 01). Conclusion:Celecoxib can inhibit the growth of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line CNE-2 and induce the cell apoptosis, which may be related to blocking the cell cycle progress of CNE-2 cells.

Objective To investigate the growth inhibition and radiosensitization of Celecoxib in hu-man nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line CNE-2. Methods CNE-2 growth inhibition by Celecoxib was eval-uated by MTT method. Apoptosis-related changes in morphology were observed by transmission electron mi-croscopy (TEM). Cell cycle distribution and apoptosis rate were measured by flowcytometry (FCM). The ex-pression of COX-2 protein was observed by SP method after the treatment of Celecoxib. Cells were randomly planted into four groups: irradiation control(Ci), drug group(Cd), irradiation group(R), and Celecoxib plus irradiation group(D+R). Single irradiation of 2,4,6,8,and 10 Gy were administered for colonogenic assay. Cell cycle distribution and apoptosis rate were analyzed at 6 Gy irradiation. Results The growth of CNE-2 cell was inhibited by celecoxib in a dose-and time-dependent manner, the IC50 was 80 μmol/L After the treatment, cell ratio of GO and G, phases was increased (47.03±2.76 vs 56.17±1.95, t=4.68, P= 0.010), whereas the ratio of S and G2/M phases was decreased (33.07±1.86 vs 24.87±1.76, t=5.54, P = 0.010; 19.30±0.53: 17.73±0.83, t=2.75, P=0.050), and the apoptosis rate was increased (1.57±0.47:10.47±0.31, t = 27.39, P = 0.000) in a dose-dependent manner. Apoptosis with nuclear chromatin condensation, fragmentation and cell shrinkage was found by TEM. SP method showed that Celeib decreased COX-2 expression (17.48±0.34 vs 12.82±0.51,t=13.20,P =0.00). The sensitivity ratio(D0) was 1.15. FCM showed that the percentage of cells in G2/M phase was significanty more in R and D+R groups than in Ci and Cd groups (68.00±1.65,54.27±5.74,17.60±0.80,14.86±1.23, t=47.70,P=0.000; t=11.63, P=0.000), and also significantly different between R group and D + R group (t=3.99, P= 0.020). The apoptosis rate was higher in R and D + R groups than Ci and Cd groups(4.83±0.97,9.50± 1.35,1.33±0.86 and 2.28±0.42,t=4.67,P=0.010;t=8.81, P=0.000), D + R group than R group(t =4.85,P=0.010). Conclusions Celecoxib can markedly inhibit the growth and induce apoptosis in CNE-2 cells,which may depend on COX-2 pathway. Celeeoxib potently enhances the radiosensitivity of CNE-2 cells,which may due to the repair inhibit of radiation-induced DNA damage, inhibit of cell proliferation,and enhancement of cell apoptosis after irradiation.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of seminal plasma lipoprotein (a) in abnormal semen liquefaction and its clinical significance.
METHODSAccording to The WHO Laboratory Manual for the Examination and Processing of Human Semen, we conducted semen routine analyses of 101 patients with abnormal semen liquefaction and 26 normal healthy controls. We added chymotrypsin to the semen for 30 minutes of incubation at 37 degrees C. When there were filaments, we centrifuged the semen and obtained the upper seminal plasma to determine the level of lipoprotein (a).
RESULTSThe level of lipoprotein (a) was significantly higher in the 101 patients ([526.2 +/- 243.5] mg/L) than in the 26 normal controls ([296.9 +/- 105.2] mg/L) (P < 0.01) .
CONCLUSIONLipoprotein (a) can inhibit fibrin dissolution, and delayed fibrin dissolution in semen liquefaction may be related to the increased level of seminal plasma lipoprotein (a). The seminal plasma lipoprotein (a) level should be taken into account in the clinical diagnosis of male infertility caused by abnormal semen liquefaction.
