Objective This paper is to study a new sutureless vascular bonding method. Methods New-Zealand rabbits were randomly assigned to one experimental group and one control group. 10 end-to-end bonding on rabbit femoral arteries (1.2mm vessel) were performed using the experimental technique with histoacryl glue (OB) and a central channel soluble stent. In the control group, 10 rabbit femoral arteries (1.2mm vessel) were anastomosed with the standard suture method. The patency rates and anastomotic time were recorded. The late anastomoses were evaluated with arteriograph and stoma tissue pathological section. Results The anastomosis mean time of the experimental group is 7.91 minutes and the one of the control group is 12.90 minutes. The immediate patency rates of two groups are both 100% and the late patency rates are 80% and 90% respectively. There are no haemorrhage when the clamp released and no distortion and stricture caused by sutures. Conclusion The sutureless vascular bonding method has no needs for suture needle and line, and thus the possible injuries during suture are reduced. The stent makes the vessel free from stoma stricture and binder invasion. The stoma leakage is also avoided through the adhensive. The enhanced suture speed results from the short clotting time and the hollow structure of the stent. With all the above-mentioned excellences, the method proves simple and efficient.

Blood samples were detected by 24 blood-glucose meters using glucose oxidase and another 18 glucose meters using glucose dehydrogenase. The plasma glucose was detected by the auto-chemistry analyzer as control. According to ISO1 5197 and EF9-A2, the bias of results from both glucose meters 100% fall in the range of ±0. 56 mmol/L( <4. 2 mmol/L) and ≥99. 7% in the range of ±20% ( ≥4. 2 mmol/L), predicted bias were all less than the true bias(Bc). As κ>0. 6, the results from both glucose meters were in accordance with the results from autochemistry analyzer in judging hyperglycemia ( >6. 11 mmol/L) and hypoglycemia ( < 3.89 mmol/L). Between the results from the two blood-glucose meters, κ<0. 6. The accuracy of both glucose-meters are accepted for the purpose of clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To investigate the effect of Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) on subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and its possible mechanism.Methods:A mouse model of SAH was constructed by internal carotid artery puncture. The protein and mRNA expression levels of SIRT1 at 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h were detected by Western Blot and qRT-PCR. A Western Blot assay was used to examine SIRT1 and the expression levels of endoplasmic reticulum stress-related markers GRP78, p-PERK/PERK, p-eIF2α/eIF2α, and CHOP after administration of a SIRT1 inhibitor or SIRT1 si-RNA. At 24 h after SAH, subarachnoid hemorrhage volume, neurological function score, brain water content, and blood-brain barrier integrity were measured.Results:The highest expression of SIRT1 protein and mRNA was observed at 24 h compared with other time points, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.001). Inhibition of SIRT1 expression leads to increased expression of endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins GRP78, p-PERK/PERK, p-eIF2α/eIF2α, and CHOP, exacerbating hemorrhage and brain water content, disrupting blood-brain barrier integrity, and significantly reducing neurological function scores. Conclusions:Inhibition of SIRT1 expression significantly increased the endoplasmic reticulum response to excitation and exacerbated early brain injury after SAH.

Objective:To investigate the effect of rutin on blood-brain barrier in early brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in rats.Methods:A rat model of SAH was induced by puncturing the internal carotid artery. The rats were divided into a sham operation group, a model group and a rutin (50 mg/kg) group. Twenty-four hours after modeling, SAH score and neurological deficit score were conducted, and brain water content and Evans blue extravasation rate were detected in each group. Western blot analysis was used to detect the expression of claudin-5, occludin and zonula occluden (ZO)-1. TUNEL staining was used to detect neuronal apoptosis.Results:Compared with the sham operation group, the SAH score increased, the neurological deficit score decreased, and the brain water content and Evans blue extravasation increased in the model group. Rutin could significantly reduce the SAH score, increase neurological deficit score, and reduce brain water content and Evans blue exudation (all P<0.01). Western blot analysis showed that the expression of claudin-5, occludin and ZO-1 protein decreased in the model group, and the expression of claudin-5, occludin and ZO-1 protein increased significantly in the rutin group ( P<0.01). In addition, the number of TUNEL positive cells induced by SAH in the rutin group decreased. Conclusion:Rutin can play a protective role in early brain injury after SAH, and its mechanism may be associated with protecting the integrity of blood-brain barrier.

OBJECTIVE:
To assess the association of CYP2C19 and CYP3A5 gene polymorphisms with the risk of myocardial infarction.
METHODS:
Five hundred patients with myocardial infarction and 500 healthy controls were randomly selected. Fluorescent PCR and Sanger sequencing were used to detect the CYP2C19 and CYP3A5 gene polymorphisms. Logistic regression was used to analyze the correlation between the polymorphisms and myocardial infarction. Quanto software was used to evaluate the statistical power.
RESULTS:
The two groups had significant difference in the frequency of AG, GG genotypes and A allele of the CYP2C19 gene rs4986893 locus and the AA, AG, GG genotypes and G allele of the CYP3A5 gene rs776746 locus ( P<0.05), but not in the frequency of genotypes and alleles of CYP2C19 gene rs4244285 and rs12248560 loci, and the AA genotype of the rs4986893 locus. After correction for age, gender, and body mass index, Logistic regression indicated that the AG genotype and A allele of the CYP2C19 gene rs4986893 locus, and the GG genotype and G allele of CYP3A5 gene rs776746 locus are associated with susceptibility of myocardial infarction, while rs4986893 GG genotype and AA and AG genotypes of rs776746 may confer a protective effect. Based on the sample size and allele frequency, analysis with Quanto software suggested that the result of this study has a statistical power of 99%.
CONCLUSION
CYP2C19 and CYP3A5 gene polymorphisms may increase the risk for myocardial infarction.
