OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of Oxymatrine on left cardiac function and ventricular remodeling in rabbits after acute myocardial infarction.

METHODSLigation of the left anterior descending artery was adopted to establish acute myocardial infarction model, forty eight rabbits were randomized into the sham operation group, model group and Oxymatrine group. Eight models were successfully established in each group. the sham operation group and model group were given conventional feed. Oxymatrine were gavage administration 0.5 ml/100 g, once a day, lasted for 4 weeks. Respectively in postoperative week, and three weeks, to observe the Oxymatrine on cardiac output (CO), left ventricular end systolic pressure (LVESP), left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP), left indoor pressure change rate peak (dp/dtmax)), and left ventricular cavity internal diameter (D), ventricular weight index (VWI), ventricular weight (VW).

RESULTSLeft ventricular anterior wall was from red to deep purple, electrocardiogram showed II guide ST-segment camber up ≥ 0.25 mv. Postoperative week in Oxymatrine group compared with model group, LVESP increased significantly (P < 0.01), LVEDP decreased obviously (P < 0.01); After three weeks in Oxymatrine group compared with model group, VW, VWI decreased (P < 0.05), D significantly reduced (P < 0.01); LVESP increased significantly (P < 0.01), LVEDP decreased obviously (P <0.01); dp/dt(max), CO increased (P < 0.05).

Objective To explore the relationship between distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) test and pure tone audiometry (PTA), and the application of DPOAE test in occupational health inspection of noise-exposed work. Methods Using the judgment sampling method, 510 noise-exposed workers in an automobile engine factory were selected as the observation group. The observation group was divided into 5 subgroups according to the characteristics of PTA threshold and frequency of hearing loss. Another 50 non-noise-exposed workers in the factory were selected as the control group. DPOAE and PTA were used to detect the pure tone hearing threshold and DPOAE amplitude, signal-to-noise ratio and pass rate of each frequency in the two groups of workers. Results At 0.5-6.0 kHz, the pure tone hearing threshold value of each subgroup was higher than the control group (all P<0.05). At 3.0-6.0 kHz, the DPOAE amplitude and signal-to noise ratio of each subgroup were lower than that of the control group (all P<0.05). At 1.5 kHz, the pass rate of DPOAE in subgroup 1, subgroup 2 and subgroup 3 were higher than the control group (all P<0.05). At 2.0-6.0 kHz, the pass rate of DPOAE in subgroup 4 and subgroup 5 were lower than the control group (all P<0.05). The area receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of the observation subgroups and control group were 0.71-1.00 by the PTA. The AUC values of the observation subgroups and control group were 0.57-0.97 by DPOAE. The AUC value in subgroup 5 and control group had a significant difference between the two examination methods (P< 0.01); while the subgroup 1, subgroup 2, subgroup 3, subgroup 4 and control group were no significant differences respectively (all P>0.05). Conclusion DPOAE is easy to operate and can objectively reflect the hearing level of workers exposed to noise. It can be used as a supplementary means of PTA and applied to occupational health examination and hearing monitoring screening.

Objective: To study the effect of ipilimumab on T lymphocytes and Bcl-2 mRNA expression in lung cancer-bearing mice by inhibiting TGF-β1/ERK signaling pathway. Methods: Forty-five C57 mices inoculated with Lewis lung cancer cells were randomly divided into control group, low dose ipilimumab group and high dose ipilimumab group with 15 mice in each. The low and high dose groups were given 3 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg ipilimumab respectively, while the control group was given 0.9% sodium chloride solution with the same volume. The effects of ipilimumab on TGF-β1/ERK signaling pathway, Bcl-2 mRNA expression, immune function improvement and tumor inhibition in three groups were detected by WB and qPCR. Results: After administration of ipilimumab, the tumor weight and volume of mice in low-dose and high-dose groups were significantly lower than that of the control group, and the tumor inhibition rate increased in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). The thymus index and spleen index of mice were significantly higher than that of control group, which also increased in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). The levels of CD3+, CD4+, CD4+/CD8+ cells in the high and low dose groups were significantly higher than those in the control group, with significantly higher levels in high dose group compared with the low dose group (P<0.05). The levels of serum inflammatory factors were significantly lower than those in control group, and the levels of serum TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-3 in the high dose group were significantly lower than those in the low dose group (P<0.05). The expressions of TGF-β1, ERK1/2, p-ERK1/2 and MEK in tumor tissues of both high and low dose groups significantly decreased, with more lower levels in high dose group than in low dose groups (all P<0.05), and the positive rate of TGF-β1 expression in high dose group was the lowest. The mRNAexpression of Bcl-2 in tumor tissues of high and low dose groups decreased significantly after drug administration, with a significantly lower level in high does group than that in low dose group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Ipilimumab can effectively inhibit TGF-β1/ERK signaling pathway, improve immune function and down-regulate the expression of Bcl-2, thus inhibit the growth of Lewis lung cancer cells and play an antitumor role in mice.
