Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2010;26(1):124-127
Aim To study the regulating effect of Tongxinluo on HIF-1α,VEGF that Generated by the Human brain microvascular endothelial cells induced by β-amyloid 1-42.Methods Human brain microvascular endothelial cells were pre-incubated for 4h by Tongxinluo, then injured by β-amyloid 1-42.VEGF protein and HIF-1α were detected by Western blot.Result In the Aβ treated Human brain microvascular endothelial cells,viable cells decreased.The expression of VEGF was Reduced, and HIF-1α elevated. After the cells were treated with Tongxinluo, all the above indexes were improved.Conclusion Tongxinluo can enhance the VEGF protein expressions by the HIF-1α and protect the Human brain microvascular endothelial cells.

Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2009;13(35):6991-6994
BACKGROUND: A considerable number of epilepsy patients cannot be treated sufficiently by drug. Epilepsy surgery is a treatment option in these cases. However, precisely localizing epileptogenic zone in epileptic patients is a successful element of epilepsy surgery. Its goal is to remove a minimum volume to control the seizures without cognitive impairment. Presurgical evaluation typically involves electroencephalogram (EEG), video-EEG monitoring, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), single photon emission computed tomography and neuropsychological testing. Magnetoencephalography (MEG) has been as a noninvasive technique to be used to epilepsy surgical planning and brain functional study in many countries.OBJECTIVE: To preoperatively localize epileptogenic zone in patients with lesion-associated epilepsy using magnetoencephalography, compare with noninvasive video-EEG, and assess its localizing value according to the surgical outcomes. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A retrospective case analysis was performed at the Magnetoencephalography Laboratory, Guangdong 999 Brain Hospital, China between November 2001 and December 2005.PARTICIPANTS: A total of 618 epileptic patients undergoing magnetoencephalography. Spontaneous magnetic field signal was collected to analyze single dipole location. Of them, 149 patients with MRI-documented epilepsy underwent surgery. The history of disease was at least 2 years. The course of disease ranged 2-35 years, with an average of 9.5 years. METHODS: MEG was recorded by a 148-channels whole head type MEG system (Magnes WH2500, 4-D Neuroimaging, San Diego, CA, USA) in Magnetically Shielded Room (MSR, Germany). Sampling rate: 508.63 Hz, 30-minutes interictal MEG (Bandpass: 1.0-100 Hz). For magnetic source imaging, the nasion and preauricular points were applied as fiducials. Single equivalent current dipole (ECDs) and head sphere model were applied for analysis. Estimated ECDs were overlaid on T1-weighted MRI of each subject.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Preoperative MEG, MRI, and video-EEG and postoperative follow-up were measured. RESULTS: The sensitivity of the interictal MEG for detecting epileptiform activity was found in 91% of the patient. In most cases, the equivalent dipoles were mainly distributed over the border and neighborhood of the structural lesions. By MEG, we were able to localize the resected region in a greater proportion of patients (62.4%, 93/149) than with noninvasive vedio-EEG (38.9%, 58/149) in all patients with MRI-documented lesions. A total of 89 patients were followed up from 3-35 months, averagely 9 months. Of the 89 patients, 72 patients (80.9%) had no postoperative seizures (EngelⅠ); 7 (7.9%) cases obtain Engel Ⅱ and Engel Ⅲ outcomes. Favorable outcomes were not seen in 10 patients (11.2%) cases (Engel Ⅳ and Engel Ⅴ). Total effective rate was 88.8% (EngelⅠ-Ⅲ). CONCLUSION: MEG is not only most useful for presurgical planning in epilepsy patients with MRI-documented lesions, but is also a noninvasive method to identify the spatial relationship between the lesion and epileptogenic zone, a precise localization of the epileptogenic zone is correlated to a favorable outcome.

Journal of Sun Yat-sen University(Medical Sciences) 2009;30(4):390-394
[Objective] To study the apoptosis after long time of heart preservation,and the barrier of caspase (Ac-DEVD-CHO) in prolonged heart transplantation.To improve the techniques on the preservation of donor heart.[Methods] Donor rat hearts were subjected to group A (non-Ac-DEVD-CHO-treated),group B (Ac-DEVD-CHO-treated) of hypothermic storage,after 9 hours of heart preservation,then performed heterotopic heart transplantation,followed by 60 min of normothermic reperfusion (n = 6 in each group).[Results] After 60 min reperfusion,compared with group A,① a significant improvement in the percent recovery of HR was observed in group B (P < 0.05);② Caspase-3 activity was decreased in group B (P < 0.01);③ an apparent decline in the expression of infarct area was observed in group B (P < 0.01);④ an apparent decline in the expression of TUNEL-positive cardiomyocyte was observed in group B (P < 0.01);⑤ Group B shows the least disease.[Conclusion] ① After preservation and reperfusion,cardiomyocyte apoptosis was observe evidently,which led to irreversible heart dysfunction.② The administration of caspase-3 inhibition after reperfusion attenuates ischemia-reperfusion injury by suppressing apoptosis in heart transplantation.Furthermore,the use of caspase inhibition was investigated as a strategy for the preservation donor heart in transplantation.③ The relationship of dose-response and time-effect is still unknown.

Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2011;34(20):22-24
Objective To compare postoperative outcomes and complications between subtotal colectomy combined with modified Duhamel procedure and simple subtotal colectomy for severe functional constipation (SFC). Methods Between January 2006 and June 2010,40 SFC patients after strict but inefficient nonoperative treatments were randomized by number table method to control group (20 cases, receiving simple subtotal colectomy) and combined group (20 cases,receiving subtotal colectomy and modified Duhamel procedure). The selection criteria were normal colonoscopy,and abnormal dynamic proctography (DPG). The functional outcomes after surgery were assessed from 6 months to 2 years period. Results The preoperative clinical manifestations of the two groups were similar. No statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups for time for recovery of the bowel function,length of postoperative hospitalization.and the early postoperative complications (P > 0.05). Functional outcomes of combined group with CIQOL score [(110.5 ±5.0) scores],relieving of costive gastrointestinal symptoms [(79.0 ±6.5)%], recurrent constipation rate [10.0% (2/20)], satisfaction rate of defecation frequency [85.0%(17/20)], satisfaction rate of quality of life[90.0%(18/20)] were significantly better than those of control group[(90.5 ± 3.5) scores, (60.5 ± 2.8)% ,35.0%(7/20), 15.0%(3/20),20.0%(4/20)](P< 0.05). Conclusion Combined application of subtotal colectomy and modified Duhamel procedure for SFC has better outcomes.
