BACKGROUND:The mechanisms of mesenchymal stem cells directional y homing to infarcted myocardium post myocardial infarction are stil unclear.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the role of stromal cellderived factor-1 (SDF-1)/C-X-C chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) axis on mesenchymal stem cellmigration promoted by mononuclear cells after myocardial infarction.
METHODS:Cardiomyocytes and mesenchymal stem cells were respectively isolated from suckling and adult Sprague-Dawley rats. Twelve healthy Sprague-Dawley rats were selected (six rats for myocardial infarction models and six for sham models), then circulating mononuclear cells were isolated. 4,6-Diamino-2-phenyl indole-labeled mesenchymal stem cells, cardiomyocytes and mononuclear cells were cultured into the upper, middle and lower layers of the tri-chamber coculture system, respectively. In this experiment, there were four groups:myocardial infarction group, AMD3100 (CXCR4 inhibitor) group, sham group and blank control group. After 48 hours, the number of migrating mesenchymal stem cells with blue-lighting nucleus was calculated under fluoroscope. Immunocytochemistry and immunofluorescent staining was used to detect SDF-1 expression in cardiomyocytes and CXCR4 expression in mesenchymal stem cells, respectively.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Migrating mesenchymal stem cells with positive expression of CXCR4 were observed in each group other than the blank control group. The number of migrating mesenchymal stem cells was higher in the myocardial infarction group than in the other groups. Tumor necrosis factor-αneutralizing antibody and CXCR4 inhibitor AMD3100 could obviously reduce the number of migrating mesenchymal stem cells (P<0.05). Cardiomyocytes in each group expressed SDF-1 positively. The gray values of SDF-1 expression in the myocardial infarction and AMD3100 groups were significantly higher than those in the sham and blank control groups (P<0.05). SDF-1/CXCR4 axis plays a certain role in mesenchymal stem cells migration promoted by mononuclear cells after myocardial infarction.

BACKGROUND:At present, electrical stimulation technology has become a hot topic, but its effect on body’s electrical activity remains unclear. Moreover, previous studies on this aspect mainly focused on smal-sized animals. OBJECTIVE:Under the premise without prejudice to cardiac electrical activity, to find the maximum pulse voltage and frequency of electrostimulation that is taken on the liver area of pigs. METHODS:Three healthy male Rong-Chang pigs were obtained. Pulse electrical stimulator electrodes were fixed on right lobe of the surface projection of corresponding liver area. Fixed electrical stimulation parameters were set, including pulse width 10 ms, square wave, stimulation time 1 hour. They received voltage tolerance experiment between 5 V and 100 V and a frequency tolerance experiment between 1 Hz and 5 Hz. A detail record of pigs’ electrocardiogram, discomfort reaction and changes in life behavior of the pigs were obtained. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:During voltage tolerance experiment, high- and low-voltage electrical stimulation pulse was positively associated with heart rate increment. When the voltage was greater than 35 V, mild arrhythmia such as sinus arrhythmia and ventricular premature beats appeared, without malignant arrhythmia or death. When the voltage was greater than 60 V, qRs formation induced by electrical stimulation wave occurred. In frequency tolerance experiment, when frequency was greater than 2 Hz, arrhythmia appeared, no malignant arrhythmia was found. Pulsed electrical stimulation can induce the formation of qRs wave. Above findings suggest that the appropriate frequency and voltage of pulse electrical stimulation are 2 Hz and 35 V. At > 35 V voltage or > 2 Hz frequency, pulsed electrical stimulation on the liver area can cause arrhythmia, mostly benign arrhythmia.

Objective To alleviate or prevent the complication of propoful sedation and anesthesia during gastroscopy. Methods One thousand three hundred and fifty eight patients were undergone gastrosco-py under propoful sedation and anesthesia. Results Although some patients with intravenous use of propofol their blood pressure, heart and respiratory rate decreased in different extents, but others remained in normal range. During the operation, two cases(0. 15% )had hypotension which could be corrected after intravenous use of ephetonin; three cases (0. 22% ) had bradycardia that was restored after intravenous use of atropine; three hundred and eighteen cases (23. 42% )had cough which could be prevented by increasing the first dose of propofol and avoiding the pharyngeal simulation derived from operation; sixteen cases( 1. 18% )had serious chock accompanied with decreasing of blood oxygen saturation which could be alleviated by aspirating the guttural secretion, driving up the patients mandible and increasing oxygen inhalation, keeping the gastroscope dry and avoiding pumping water or air as passing through epiglottis are the effective methods in preventing chock. Forty six cases (3. 39% ) complained of pain in the injection site which could be alleviated by choosing a major vein and injecting drug slowly; forty three cases(3. 17% ) had nausea and two cases(0. 15% ) had phreno muscular spasm which could be alleviated or prevented by skilled manipulation; thirty nine cases (2. 87% )had vertigo after regaining consciousness, keeping in bed or deferring to wake the patient up are very effective in preventing and alleviating this symptom. Conclusion Although gastroscopy under propoful' s sedation and anesthesia is safe and effective, logical precautions are the keys to attain success and lessen complications.
