The well performance of everything in the peripheral operative period is important to improve successful rate, decrease complications and assure favorable convalescence of patients for interventional treatment of coronary heart disease. It is mentioned that the primary management of peripheral operative period and main notes for interventional treatment of coronary heart disease in the paper summarily.

Objective To investigate the change of permeability of HUVECs monolayer induced by thrombin or Lipopolysaccharide(LPS) for exploring the role of RhoA.Methods The effect of thrombin or LPS on the permeability of HUVECs monolayer was examined with the polycarbonate transwell filters and the effect of thrombin or LPS on HUVECs F-actin was observed with immunocytochemistry.The interferring action of Y-27632(Rho kinase inhibitor) on the permeability and F-actin change induced by thrombin or LPS was also observed.The expression of RhoA protein and mRNA in HUVECs were detected by Western blotting and semi-quantitative RT-PCR.Results Thrombin or LPS induced F-actin depolymerized and significant increase in the permeability of HUVECs.Permeability and F-actin do not change significantly when Y-27632 was added.Thrombin or LPS could upregulate the expression of RhoA protein and mRNA in HUVECs.Conclusion HUVECs monolayer permeability injury induced by thrombin or LPS is related to depolymerization of F-actin and RhoA signal pathway is involved.

Complications may occur inevitably during percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI),and sometimes can be life-threatening.These complications occur in approximately 5.53% of patients at large PCI centers in China.Severe complications include coronary artery perforation,acute coronary closure,no flow and acute thrombosis.Efforts should be exerted to prevent and avoid these complications during perioperative period of PCI.

The efficacy of the standard first-line chemotherapy regimen for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has reached a plateau.Study confirmed that chemotherapy drugs and molecular targeted drug maintenance treatment can prolong the survival of patients with advanced NSCLC.Immunotherapy has become a maintenance treatment for advanced NSCLC,and further research is needed to confirm its efficacy.

80 years)in China is increasing.As a special type of hypertension,the hypertension in the very elderly has some specificities in pathogenesis,clinical manifestation,treatment and prognosis.The topic to effectively cure and prevent hypertension in the very elderly is increasingly emphasiced.This article presents an overview of recent progress in clinical characteristics,and treatment strategy related to hypertension in the very elderly.

Objective An intensive analysis on the recent advances in cardiovascular medicine both in China and abroad was made,so as to provide an orientation of developing cardiovascular medicine in the future.Methods Literature of cardiovascular medicine published domestically and abroad in recent 5 years was reviewed.The advances in the use of new drug and techniques,clinical diagnosis and therapeutic methods were analyzed.Results Cardiovascular medicine in basic,clinical and practical fields had made rapid advances in the military institutions lately,especially in the interventional diagnosis and treatment of coronary heart disease,arrhythmia and peripheral vascular disease,and in the treatment of hypertension,where outstanding successes had been achieved.Conclusions The general level of cardiovascular medicine of military medical establishments could be considered foremost in our country.During the coming years of "the 12th Five-Year Plan",the emphasis of research work should be placed upon the medical care,basic and clinical research of common cardiovascular diseases existing in military officers and soldiers,such as coronary heart disease,peripheral vascular disease and arrhythmias,both in peace time and military conflicts.

Contrast induced nephropathy is an important complication arising from use of iodinated contrast media.Such iatrogenic complication may result in poor prognosis and additional health care costs.Cases of contrast induced nephropathy are on the rise along with the-increasing number of contrast-requiring procedures.Contrast induced nephropathy has been a subject of concern to cardiologists in recent years.Several large series have shown no approved methods for management of periprocedural contrast induced nephropathy.However,identification of high-risk patients,improvement and rectification of related risk factors,use of iodinated contrast media with less renal toxicity,and sufficient hydration may reduce the incidence of contrast induced nephropathy.

Objective To explore possible role of cellular repressor of E1A-stimulated genes(CREG) in the process of phenotypic switching of adventitial fibroblasts(AFs). Methods Immunofluorescent staining was performed with tissue sections from mouse carotid arteries to evaluate the relationship between the expression of CREG and smooth muscle actin-α(α-SMA) in injured arteries, especially in the adventitia. Tissue block pasted culture method was used to isolate and culture AFs. RT-PCR and Western-blot were used to detect the change of CREG andα-SMA mRNA and protein expression in AFs in the presence of different concentrations of AngⅡfor 12 h/24 h or in the presence of 100 nmol/L Ang Ⅱ for different times. Results Normal mouse carotid arteries had little α-SMA expression throughout the tunica adventitia. Arteries at day 1 and day 3 post-injury exhibited significantly higher immunofluorescence of α-SMA compared with non-injured arteries. Alpha-SMA expression began to decrease on day 7 and progressively declined on day 14. In contrast, immunofluorescent staining revealed that CREG was expressed in the adventitia of normal arteries. Expression of CREG in the adventitia of injured arteries was decreased on the 1st day, reached its lowest value on the 3rd day, and increased gradually from the 7th day, and was higher compared with that in non-injured arteries on the 14th day after injury. Similarly, the expression of CREG in AFs was very high, and AngⅡremarkably decreased mRNA and protein expression levels of CREG in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner. Conclusions The changes in CREG expression correlate with AF phenotypic modulation, and CREG down-regulation may facilitate AF phenotypic switching into myofibroblasts (MFs).

80mmHg in all patients at stimulating test. Selected septal branch angiography was taken. The methods of target septal branch selection included balloon occlusion test, angiography through the catheter lumen, and ultrasonic echocardiogram monitor. The 1st septal branch was ablated in 6 patients, and in 2nd branch in 2. The volume of alcohol injected was 1 75~7 0ml. The results showed that the successful rate of PTSMA operation was 100%, and the clinical symptoms for all patients improved significantly with mean LVOTPG decreased by 68 3%?13 0% at the end of the procedure. No severe ventricular arrhythmia occurred. One patient was followed-up clinically and angiographically half a year after the operation and his LVOTPG was 0 mmHg and the NYHA heart function was raised to Ⅱ grade from Ⅳ grades before operation. PTSMA is a promising interventional technique for HOCM therapy with satisfactory short-term clinical outcome.

Objectives\ To analyse the development of coronary intervention in our heart center of a general hospital in recent 13 years.Methods\ Coronary interventions were performed in 3945 target lesions of 2466 patients with coronary heart disease who were from 22 to 86 years old(averaged 58 8 yrs)with 80 5% of male,including 335 cases of acute myocardial infarction,64 cardiogenic shock,2106 acute coronary syndrome,1329 multivessel disease,and 21 left main disease.The proportion of complicated B2 and C type lesions were 77 1% and chronic total occlusion were 21 4%,PTCA and stenting were the main intervention operation(97 4%),and rotation,direct atherectomy,cutting,intravascular radiation and cover stenting were also perfromed for the remaining 2 6% patients.Results\ The mean annual case increase rate was 61 2% from 1995 to 2001 The toltal patient and lesion success rates were 98 1% and 97 1%,respectively.The mortality during intervention were 0 08% and for cardiogenic shock were 28 1% during hospitalization.Conclusions\ The data suggest that the success rate and incidence of complications for coronary intervention in the heart center with well-dereloped technigues are comparable with those reported in foreign literatures.
