Objective To investigate the application of repeated myocardial perfusion on difficult cardiac resuscitation after aortic unclamping under open heart operation. Methods Fifteen cases met difficult cardiac resuscitation after release of aortic cross-clamping under open heart operation were analyzed retrospectively. They were perfused with or without repeated aortic clamping, with warm blood cardioplegic solution until electric activity of cardiac muscle stop. Results All cases got cardiac resuscitation and detached from-cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) successfully,9 cases perfused with warm blood cardioplegic solution without repeated aortic clamping got cardiac resuscitation automatically(7 cases) or after defibrillation for one time (2 cases),5 cases experiencing repeated aortic clamping and perfused with warm blood cardioplegic solution for two times got cardiac resuscitation automatically (3 cases) or after defibrillation for one time (2 cases) and another one experiencing for four times. Conclusion Application of repeated perfusion on difficult cardiac resuscitation after aortic unclamping under open heart operation is effective.

Objective To confirm the transmission of Toxoplasma gondii by semen and to investigate the impact of vaginal status on the transmission of T. gondii in female rabbits. Methods Sixteen male rabbits were infected with T. gondii by intraperitoneal injection each with 1 ×105 RH tachyzoites. Eight rabbits died in 8-14 d after infection.Artificial vagina was used to collect semen from male rabbits weekly before and after infection for 8 weeks. If more than 2 portions of semen from 8 survived male rabbits were collected after infection, the collected semen was mixed weekly for later use. Twenty-seven female rabbits were divided into 4 groups: group 1 with normal vagina (7 rabbits), group 2with wounded vagina (7), group 3 with trichomonas vaginitis (7) and group 4 with colpomycosis infection (6). Tachyzoites were found in mixed semen digested by trypsinase, and were used for endovaginal artificial insemination to female rabbits by uterine cavity tube once a week for 8 consecutive weeks. 2-3 d after every insemination, 2 ml blood was collected from helix vein of each rabbit, and stored at -40 ℃ for use. Anti-T. gondii antibody was examined by ELISA and the B1 gene of T. gondii was detected by PCR. Results Anti-T. gondii antibody was detected in some rabbits (2, 3, 1, and 1 rabbits from each of the groups respectively) on the 16th day after the first insemination. The positive rate of ELISA was 25.9%. The amplification of B1 gene (200 bp) by PCR appeared positive from the blood samples on the 3rd day after the first insemination and the last positive one was proved on the 51th day after the first insemination.Number of positive samples was 2, 1, 3 and 1 in the 4 groups respectively, with an overall PCR positive rate of 18.5%.Only 3 of the 27 rabbits were positive by both ELISA and PCR. Conclusions T. gondii can be transmitted by semen and the health status of vagina shows no impact on it.

Objective To study the role of CT in the evaluation after patellar dislocation triple surgeries.Methods Retrospectively analysed the CT measurements of 60 recurrent patellar dislocation patients (61 knees),who had undergone patellar dislocation triple surgeries,within one month before and after procedures.The measurements included patellar tilt angle,lateral patellar displacement,trochlear con-gruence angle,Tibial Tuberosity-Trochlear Groove distance,Insall-Salvati Ratio and Caton-Deschamps Index.Moreover,the troch-lear dysplasia classifications of all patients were evaluated.In addtion,an analysis has also been completed for 40 (41 knees)of 60 patients who had second postoperative CT examinations as follow-up assessment 3 to 6 months after surgeries.Results All one-month postoperative measurements decreased obviously with statistical significance(P <0.05 ).Furthermore,one case of subluxa-tion,1 1 cases of abnormal Tibial Tuberosity-Trochlear Groove distance,13 cases of abnormal Insall-Salvati Ratio and 14 cases of Ca-ton-Deschamps Index abnormities were also observed.Besides that,it was also found that all patients had trochlear dysplasia and 5 cases were diagnosed with patellar subluxation or dislocation at the second postoperative follow-up assessment.Conclusion The patients with redislocation or risks for patellar instability can be detectecd by CT which provides objective evidence for postoperative evaluation and further treatments.

Objective: To explore the role of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase-II δ (CaMK-II δ) in doxorubicin (DOX) induced cardio-toxicity in experimental rats.
Methods:①The rat’s cardiomyocytes were treated by DOX and the cell proliferation, protein expression and activity of CaMK-II δ were examined.②CaMK-II δ gene was knocked out by CRISPR method, the changes of DOX induced cell apoptosis and NF-κb activity and miR-146a expression were detected.
Results: DOX could inhibit cardiomyocyte proliferation, the protein expression level of CaMK-II δ was similar and the activity was increased. CRISPR method may effectively knock out CaMK-II δ gene. Compared with normal cells, the cells from CaMK-II δ knocked out rats had decreased sensitivity to DOX induction, suppressed NF-κb activation and miR-146a up-regulation.
Conclusion: CaMK-II δ participated in DOX induced cardio-toxicity in experimental rats and NF-κb and miR-146a were involved in this process.

Objective To assess the effect of L-carnitine(L-CN)on left ventricular hypertrophy(LVH)in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. Methods Thirty-one patients undergoing hemodialysis were randomly divided into the L-CN group(n =20)and the control group(n = 11). Patients in the L-CN group received additional intravenous injection of 1.0 g L-CN immediately after hemodialysis for a 6-month period. Patients in the control group received isovolumic saline. Using echocardiography,left ventricular mass (LVM),left ventricular mass index(LVMI)and the ejection fraction(EF)were measured before and after the treatment. Plasma calculus,plasma phosphorus and hemoglobin levels were measured. Results The LVM decreased significantly from(252. 03 ±32. 29)g to(204. 47 ± 37.33)g in patients in L-CN group(P ＜ 0. 05),the LVMI decreased significantly from (155.83 ± 23.42)g/m2 to(129. 21 ± 17.46)g/m2 in patients in the L-CN group. However,LVM and LVMI remained unchanged in the control group. Conclusions Supplementation with L-CN induced hypertrophy of LVH in patients on maintenance hemodialysis.

Objective To study the influence of different anticoagulant tube of blood for blood plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) . Methods Six healthy subjects were selected, then the fasting venous blood samples were collected with EDTA-2k tube,sodium citrate tube and lithium heparin tube, respectively. The blood samples were kept under different conditions. The concentrations of tHcy were determined by quantitative HPLC method and the data were analyzed using SPSS17.0 software. Results Under the conditions of 4℃placed for 2 h, 4 h, 7 h, and- 20 ℃ placed for 1 d, 3 d, 5 d after separating plasma, the concentrations of plasma tHcy in different anticoagulant tubes were no statistical difference. In addition, after placing the whole blood at 4℃for 2 h, 4 h, 7 h, the concentrations of plasma tHcy of separated plasma in different anticoagulant tubes were no statistical differences. Conclusion There are no significant differences in determination of the concentration of plasma tHcy when using EDTA-2k tube,sodium citrate tube and lithium heparin tube sampling blood.

[Summary] Diabetic nephropathy is one of the major chronic microvascular complications of diabetes ,which is the leading cause of end‐stage renal disease ,as well as the main cause of death in diabetic patients. Glomerular endothelial cell is an important component of the glomerular filtration barrier ,which is directly related to the materials of circulation ,and it can be easily damaged by glucose ,lipid and inflammatory factors. Under the hyperglycemia ,the PKC pathway ,the polyol pathway and oxidative stress were activated ,producing an excess of advanced glycation end products and reactive oxygen species ,which damage the endothelial nitric oxide synthase ,reduce the generation of nitric oxide ,while produce a large number of Ang Ⅱ. Ang Ⅱ damage the endothelial cell. In addition ,there are crosstalk between glomerular endothelial cells and endothelial cells ,which also cause endothelial cell injury. Here ,we reviewed the role of endothelial cell injury in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy.
