Objective To determine the efficacy of stent based rapamycin (Rapa) and methotrexate (MTX) alone or in combination of them to reduce in stent neointimal hyperplasia Rapamycin is a potent immunosuppressive agent that inhibits smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation by blocking cell cycle progression Methods Stents were coated with PLGA (poly/lactic co glycolic acid) polymer containing 68-96 ?g Rapa or 250-300 ?g MTX or 58-81 ?g Rapa and 120-170 ?g MTX respectively Twenty five stents (metal, n =8; MTX, n =5; Rapa, n =7; Rapa and MTX, n =5) were implanted in the coronary arteries of 25 pigs Results After 28 days, the mean neointimal thickness was (2 18?1 03) mm 2 in the bare metal stent group; (0 94?0 88) mm 2 in the Rapa group; (0 47?0 24) mm 2 in the combination Rapa and MTX group, (3 93?1 48) mm 2 in the MTX group Compared with metal group the mean neointimal thickness was significantly decresed in Rapa groups and combined group The in stent restenosis was 25% (2/8) in metal group and 80% (4/5) in MTX group after 28 days, and there was no restenosis in the other two groups Conclusion Stent based delivery of Rapa via PLGA polymer can feasibly and effectively reduce in stent neointimal hyperplasia by inhibiting cellular proliferation However there are no effects to reduce in stent neointimal hyperplasia by MTX eluting stents in this study

High mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB1) has recently been shown as a crucial late mediator of inflammation and sepsis, and is involved in mediating multi-organ functional lesions, including acute lung, liver, and intestine injuries. As a delayed inflammatory cytokine, HMGB1 provides a wider therapeutic time window for clinical intervention. HMGB1 has been proven to be a promising therapeutic target to prevent the development of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome in experimental models of severe sepsis. The pharmacological strategies include neutralization of antibodies or specific HMGB1 antagonists, suppression of HMGB1 secretion (ethyl pyruvate, agonists for alpha7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptors), and down-regulation of HMGB1 expression (sodium butyrate, signaling inhibitors for Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription).

Objective: To give the living-donor and recipient medical evaluation and moral evaluation pretransplant by Academic and Ethics Committee for Organ Transplantation (AECOT), ensure the transplantation proceed smoothly and the feasibility for moral principles. Methods:AECOT was formed and gave the living-donor and recipient medical evaluation, additional moral evaluation to their family, evaluated the possibility for transplantation, ensured the long-dated safety for living-donor and recognition for ethics, ensured the transplantation proceed successfully. Results: 18 cases were evaluated by AECOT, two cases had the operation refused because of the II-diabetes for one living-donor and the other living-donor refused evaluation, one case had the operation delaied because of the overweight for the living-donor. The rest 15 cases were accepted operation smoothly,both donor and recipient recovered well post transplant. Conclusion:Academic and Ethics Committee for Organ Transplantation(AECOT) is a essential agency for Living Donor Kidney Transplantation.

Objective · To explore the effects of brisk walking on blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), and autonomic nerve activity of male elderly with hypertension in community-based health centers in Shanghai. Methods · A total of 630 elderly men received brisk walking treatment (>10000 steps/d) voluntarily, who were selected from six community-based health centers in Pudong New Area of Shanghai. Among them, 210 people stick to training for 12 weeks. According to whether suffering from hypertension, the people were assigned to hypertension intervened group (intervention group, n=110) and normal intervened group (control group 1, n=100). Blood pressure, BMI, heart rate and autonomic nerve activity before and after the training were compared. Results · After 12 weeks of training, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and sympathetic nerve activity of intervention group were significantly lower than those before the training (P<0.05). SBP was also significantly lower than control group 2 (P<0.05). However, heart rate, BMI, parasympathetic nerve activity and baroreceptor reflex sensitivity did not change significantly after the training (P>0.05). Conclusion · Brisk walking treatment lasting for 12 weeks can decrease blood pressure and sympathetic nerve activity in elderly men with hypertension. It is worthy to be popularized in the community.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of Kanli Granule (KG) on myocardial mechanics in pressure overload induced diastolic heart failure (DHF) rats.
METHODSTotally 60 male Wistar rats were divided into the sham-operation group, the model group, the KG group, and the Valsartan group according to random digit table, 15 in each group. The pressure overload induced DHF model was established in all groups except the sham-operation group using abdominal aortic constriction surgery. Totally 7 rats died after modeling (with the mortality of 10. 67%) , and the rest 53 finished the following test. Rats in the KG group were administered with KG extract (calculated as 6. 75 g crude drug/kg) by gastrogavage. Rats in the Valsartan group were administered with Valsartan (7.2 µg/g) by gastrogavage. Equal volume of double distilled water was administered to rats in the model group and the sham-operation group by gastrogavage. All rats were intervened for 32 weeks. The response of isolated heart papillary muscle tonus to isoprenaline (ISO) and adenylate cyclase (Forskolin) was respectively observed. The enhancement phenomenon after resting development force (DF) of isolated heart papillary muscle tonus, and changes of DF in different Ca²⁺ concentrations were observed.
RESULTS(1) In the ISO response test: Compared with the sham-operation group, the amplifications of DF, ±df/dt, -df/dt were obviously elevated in the model group (P < 0.05). Compared with the model group, the amplifications of DF and ±df/dt were obviously lowered in the KG group (P < 0.01), and the amplification of ±df/dt was also reduced in the Valsartan group (P < 0.01). (2) In the Forskolin response test: Compared with the sham-operation group, the amplifications of DF and ±df/dt obviously increased in the model group (P < 0.05). Compared with the model group, the amplifications of DF and ±df/dt were obviously reduced in the KG group (P < 0.01), and the amplification of DF was also reduced in the Valsartan group (P < 0.05). (3) In post-resting DF enhancement test: Compared with the sham-operation group, the amplification of DF showed gradually decreasing tendency along with prolonged resting time in the model group, and they were obviously lowered at all time points (P < 0.05). Compared with the model group, the amplification of DF was gradually increasing along with prolonged resting time in the KG group. The amplification of DF at post-resting 240 s was obviously larger in the KG group than in the model group (P < 0.05). The amplification of post-resting DF still showed gradually decreasing tendency along with prolonged resting time in the Valsartan group, with increased amplifications of DF at post-resting 60 s and 120 s (P < 0. 05) (4) The amplifications of DF in different Ca²⁺ concentrations: Compared with the sham-operation group, the amplifications of DF were significantly elevated in different Ca²⁺ concentrations (1.75, 3.5, 7.0 mmol/L ) (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Compared with the model group, there was no statistical difference in amplification of DF in different Ca²⁺ concentrations in the KG group (P > 0.05). The amplifications of DF in different Ca²⁺ concentrations were significantly reduced in the Valsartan group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONSThe ISO response and the Forskolin response were enhanced in isolated heart papillary muscle tonus of pressure overload induced DHF rats; enhanced post-resting DF was reduced; DF in different supra-physiologic levels of Ca²⁺ was still enhanced. KG could significantly improve excessive enhancement of pressure overload induced DHF rats in ISO response and Forskolin response, and improve enhancement of post-resting myocardium.
