Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effect of cardiac rehabilitation exercise on ventricular remodeling in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.Methods:A total of 100 patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention who received treatment in Wenzhou Central Hospital from June 2018 to June 2019 were included in this study. They were randomly divided into a rehabilitation group and a conventional treatment group ( n = 50/group). Patients in the conventional treatment group underwent conventional postoperative rehabilitation education while those in the rehabilitation group received targeted cardiac rehabilitation exercise. After surgery, all patients were followed up for 12 months. Real time three-dimensional echocardiography was used to evaluate ventricular remodeling (left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular end-diastolic volume , left ventricular end-systolic volume, left ventricular remodeling index) and ventricular synchrony (Tmsv-16dif, Tmsv-16sd, Tmsv16-dif%, Tmsv16-sd%) before and 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery. In addition, serum levels of ventricular remodeling indexes (fibroblast growth factor 23, PICP and PIIINP) were measured. The incidence of cardiovascular end-point events within 12 months was calculated. Results:At 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery, left ventricular ejection fraction was (51.81 ± 5.43)%, (55.88 ± 5.46)%, (55.63 ± 5.57)% in the rehabilitation group, which was significantly higher than (47.16 ± 5.38)%, (52.31 ± 5.44)%, (51.84 ± 5.59)% respectively in the conventional treatment group ( t = 4.302, 3.275, 3.396, all P < 0.05). At 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery, left ventricular end-diastolic volume was (124.65 ± 15.56) mL, (98.54 ± 14.54) mL, (99.82 ± 13.18) mL, respectively in the rehabilitation group, which was lower than (132.64 ± 16.58) mL, (112.55 ± 15.61) mL and (114.84 ± 17.35) mL, respectively in the conventional treatment group ( t = 2.485, 4.644, 4.874, all P < 0.05). At 6 and 12 months after surgery, left ventricular end-systolic volume was (52.26 ± 5.48) mL and (52.15 ± 5.32) mL respectively in the rehabilitation group, which was significantly lower than (57.92 ± 5.46) mL and (58.51 ± 5.72) mL in the conventional treatment group ( t = 5.174, 5.757, both P < 0.05). At 6 and 12 months after surgery, left ventricular remodeling index was (1.75 ± 0.42) g/mL and (1.74 ± 0.35) g/mL respectively in the rehabilitation group, which was significantly higher than (1.52 ± 0.37) g/mL and (1.50 ± 0.32) g/mL, respectively in the conventional treatment group ( t = 2.906, 3.579, both P < 0.05). At 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery, Tmsv-16dif ( t = 2.753, 4.283, 4.088, all P < 0.05), Tmsv-16sd ( t = 5.134, 4.326, 4.670, all P < 0.05), Tmsv-16dif% ( t = 7.714, 8.587, 7.800, all P < 0.05) and Tmsv16-sd% ( t = 9.004, 14.061, 10.305, all P < 0.05) respectively in the rehabilitation group, were significantly lower than those in the conventional treatment group. At 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery, fibroblast growth factor 23 ( t = 6.303, 5.053, 4.619, all P < 0.05). PICP ( t = 3.772, 2.798, 3.788, all P < 0.05) and PIIINP ( t = 3.110, 5.912, 4.294, all P < 0.05) in the rehabilitation group were significantly lower than those in the conventional treatment group. Within 12 months, the total incidence of cardiovascular end-point events in the rehabilitation group [12.00% (6/50)] was significantly lower than that in the conventional treatment [32.00% (16/50)] ( χ2 = 5.828, P < 0.05). Conclusion:Cardiac rehabilitation exercise can improve ventricular remodeling and synchrony in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention and reduce the incidence of cardiovascular end-point events.

Objective To evaluate intra- and interatrial asynchrony and its determinants in aged patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) by using tissue Doppler imaging. Methods Ninty-one patients without PAF (control group, including 40 elder patients and 51 non-elder patients) and 52 aged patients with PAF were included. As to assessment of intra- and interatrial synchronicity, the atrioventricular plane were selected on the right atrial (RA) free wall, interatrial septum (IAS), and left atrial (LA) free wall. The time differences from the onset of the P wave to the onset of the A wave at the left atrium (P-LA), the IAS (P-IAS), and the right atrium (P-RA) were measured. Intra-atrial asynchrony was defined as the differences between P-IAS and P-RA (RA asynchrony) and between P-LA and P-IAS (LA asynchrony). Interatrial asynchrony was defined as the difference between P-LA and P-RA. Stepwise regression was made to determine the influencing factors for atrial asynchrony in aged patients with PAF. Results Compared with the control group, aged patients with PAF had significant LA and interatrial asynchrony (P<0.01). Multivariate stepwise regression demonstrated that systolic blood pressure (x2), age (x1) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI x5) entered the regression equation in aged patients with PAF (Y=-57.241+0.481 x1+0.223 x2+0.294 x5). Conclusions Aged patients with PAF have LA and interatrial asynchrony. LVH, aged and SBP are important factors leading to these asynchronies in the aged patients with PAF.

Objective To explore the effects of homocysteine (Hcy) on neural stem cell (NSC) proliferation and the mRNA expression level of Notch1 and Hes1 related Notch signaling pathway from neonatal rats in vitro. Methods NSCs from neonatal rats were cultured by serum-free culture method in vitro. Cells were divided into four groups: control group (Hcy-C), low dose Hcy (Hcy-L) group, middle dose Hcy (Hcy-M) group and high dose Hcy (Hcy-H) group. NSCs were iden- tified by immunofluorescent staining using the antibodies against Nestin, β-tubulin Ⅲ and GFAP. The proliferation ability of NSCs was detected by MTT. The mRNA expressions of Notch1 and Hes1 were detected by Real-time PCR. Results In the serum free suspension medium, neurospheres that consisted of a great number of nestin-positive cells were found. β-tu- bulin Ⅲ positive neurons and GFAP positive astrocytes were detected by immunofluorescence staining on the 6 th day of cell induction. MTT assay showed that the cell viability was significantly lower in three Hcy treatment groups than those of con- trol group (P < 0.05). And the effect of concentration-dependent was observed. The results of RT-PCR showed that mRNA expression of Hes1 was significantly lower in three Hcy treatment groups than that in control group (P < 0.05). The mRNA ex- pression of Notch1 was significantly lower in Hcy-H group than that of other three groups (P < 0.05). The mRNA expression of Notch1 was significantly lower in Hcy-M group than that of Hcy-L group and control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Hcy could inhibit the proliferation of NSCs by down-regulating mRNA expression levels of Notch1 and Hes1 genes related to Notch signal pathway.

Objective To explore the role of homocysteine(Hcy)on angiogenesis at peri infarct region after focal cere-bral ischemia in rats, to elucidate inhibitory factors of angiogenesis, and to establish a clinic foundation for clinical brain functional recovery. Methods Spragur-Dawley (SD) male rats (n=36) were randomly divided into three groups with 12 rats in each group including Sham Operation (SO) group, Middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) group and MCAO+Hcy group. The rats in Sham and MCAO groups were intra-peritoneally injected with 5 mL/(kg·d) saline and rats in MCAO+Hcy group were injected with 2%5 mL/(kg·d) Hey solution from the same route. MCAO was introduced by intraluminal filament meth-od after 7 d Hcy intervention. Rat brains were harvested on the 7th day after MCAO. BrdU(50 mg/kg, as a marker of cell pro-liferation)was intraperitoneally injected three days before the rats were killed. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)was used to measure serum Hcy concentration in rats. Brain infarction size was observed by TTC staining. Immuno-fluorescence staining was used to detect the number of BrdU+/laminin+cells at the thalamus of infarction side. Results Se-rum Hcy concentration significantly higher in MCAO+Hcy group than in SO and MCAO groups(P<0.05). Brain damage increased and the number of BrdU+/laminin+cells decreased in MCAO+Hcy group compared with those of MCAO group (P<0.05). Conclusion Increased Hcy concentration in rats lead to more severe damage of cerebral infarction as well as to inhibit the angiogenesis at surrounding ischemia area.

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have verified that under normal culture of neural stem cells (NSCs), folic acid can accelerate proliferation of NSCs by phosphorylation of mitogen activated protein kinase path activation ERK1/2. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of folic acid on NSC extracellular signal regulatory protein kinase pERK1/2 under hypoxic condition. METHODS: NSCs from Neonatal rats were cultured in vitro by serum-free culture method, and incubated in a flask at 1×10~8/L. Except normal control group, self-made hypoxia equipment was used in the hypoxia model, folic acid deficiency and folic acid supplemented groups at day 3. At 37 ℃, hypoxia culture was conducted in the thermostat for 6 hours. The contents of folic acid were 4 mg/L, 4 mg/L, 0.65 mg/L, 8 mg/L in the four groups. Cells following 6 days were collected to count the density using trypan blue. RT-PCR was utilized to detect pERK1/2 mRNA expression. Western blot assay was employed to determine pERK1/2 protein expression. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the normal control group, the proliferation of NSCs and the expression of ERK1/2mRNA and pERK1/2 protein were decreased significantly in the hypoxia model group. Compared with the hypoxia model group, the proliferation of NSCs and the expression of ERK1/2mRNA and pERK1/2 protein were increased in the folic acid supplemented group, whereas decreased in the folic acid deficiency group. There were significant differences among groups (P < 0.001). Above-described results verified that folic acid supplementation can activate ERK1/2 phosphorylatin and accelerate proliferation of NSCs under hypoxia condition.
