Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2013;(32):5889-5894
BACKGROUND:The stem cel s transplanted into the damaged heart tissues can differentiate into cardiomyocytes, which bring new hope for the research of ischemic heart disease. OBJECTIVE:To explore the feasibility and safety of stem cel transplantation for the treatment of ischemic heart disease. METHODS:Various experimental methods to the feasibility and safety of stem cel transplantation for the treatment of ischemic heart disease were analyzed. REPAIR-AMI experiment was a randomized and double-blind and placebo-control ed multi-center study that used to analyze the therapeutic effect of intracoronary transplantation of bone marrow progenitor cel s immediately after acute myocardial infarction. MAGIC Cel-3-DES experiment was used to evaluate the safety of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor mobilized stem cel therapy and the effect of intracoronary injection of mobilized peripheral blood stem cel s on the treatment of acute myocardial infarction and old myocardial infarction. BOOST experiment was the randomized control ed study on autologous bone marrow cel transplantation through coronary vein after myocardial infarction. PROTECT-CAD experiment was the randomized control ed clinical trial about the direct injection of stem cel s into the myocardial for the treatment of ischemic heart disease. RESUTLS AND CONCLUSION:Stem cel transplantation may improve the left ventricular systolic function and left ventricular diastolic function as wel as the coronary flow reserve, and the related studies have been confirmed. Stem cel transplantation for the treatment of ischemic heart disease can increase the left ventricular ejection fraction. As the less clinical accident, stem cel therapy cannot increase the risk of restenosis based on the treatment of drug-eluting stents. It is safe and feasible of stem cel transplantation for the treatment of ischemic heart disease. Large sample, long scale and multi-center randomized control ed studies are needed to further evaluate the effect and risk of stem cel transplantation.

Resulting from the shape stability, metal vascular stent has limited the vascular retraction, and subsequently prevent the unfavorable vascular remodeling. However, the metal stent requires further anticoagulant therapy after implantation, induces the hyperplasy of vascular smooth muscle cells, and cannot completely prevent the occurrence of in-stent restenosis. Surface modification of metal stent may reduce thrombogenesis. Based on the metal stent, drug eluting stent can transfer the active drugs to the damaged vessels, release them into the vascular wall and inhibit the in-stent restenosis. The eluting drugs restrain both the proliferation of smooth muscle cells and the regeneration of normal endothelial cells, leading to delay the vascular endothelialization and increase the risk of delayed thrombogenesis. The effect of stent implantation on the modus and size of vascular injury varies according to different operational techniques, processing technologies and designs, thus influencing the occurrence of in-stent restenosis. It is a potential study topic of interventional therapy to develop new eluting materials and eluting drugs, modify formulation, as well as facilitate the stent structure.

Coronary stent can cause mechanical injury to tunica intima and stimulation to vessel wall, resulting to platelet and inflammatory cell aggregation and infiltration, release of inflammation mediators, chemotatic factor, adhesion molecule and growth factor, and promoting migration and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells. The inflammatory reaction post stenting is highly correlated with intravascular restenosis. The drug-eluting stent against proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells and inflammatory reaction can reduce the intensity and duration of body inflammatory reaction, improve stent technique, relieve damage of stenting to vessel wall, and reduce incidence of intravascular restenosis.

BACKGROUNDLung cancer has become the leading cause of the cancer death in China. Population-based lung cancer screening is still in controversy. The objective of this study is to analyze the effect of annual chest radiography and sputum cytological screening conducted in high lung cancer risk population who were exposed to work related carcinogens.
METHODSA retrospective analysis was conducted to evaluate the screening results of the lung cancer cases diagnosed from 1992 to 2001 in the miners of Yunnan tin mine.
RESULTSA total of 9317 miners had been screened annually from 1992 to 1999. A total of 46 779 chest radiography and 45 672 sputum cytological examinations had been conducted, and 793 cohort subjects had at least one positive result. The annual positive detection rate ranged from 1214.1/100 000 to 3482.7/100 000. By December 31, 2001, 433 lung cancer cases had been confirmed, 371 cases out of them had cytological/pathological evidence, and 55.0% were squamous cell carcinoma followed by adenocarcinoma and small cell carcinoma. Stage I or II accounted for 24%. 62.1% of the cases had at least one positive screening result, while 165 cases were detected by chest radiography alone, 56 were detected by sputum cytology, and 48 were detected by both screening modalities. 64.2% of X-ray detected cases were squamous/adenous carcinomas and 75.0% of cytological detected cases were squamous carcinoma. 80.8% of early stage cases had at least one previous positive finding from screening.
CONCLUSIONSAnnual lung cancer screening with combination of chest radiography and sputum cytology play some extent role in early detection of lung cancer in high risk population. The results may provide some primary data for lung cancer screening in special population who are at high risk of lung cancer in China.
