Objective To investigate the feasibility of bedside temporary transvenous cardiac pacing with balloon tipped floating catheter under non X-ray fluoroscopy.Methods Twenty-four patients of bedside temporary transvenous cardiac pacing,11 cases underwent common electrode (common group),13cases underwent balloon tipped floating electrode (balloon tipped group).The operating time,pacing thresholds,pacing perception and complications were observed between two groups.Results All balloon tipped group placement success,8 cases in common group successfully.The operating time in balloon tipped group was significantly less than that in common group [(2.5 ± 1.5) min vs.(9.3 ±5.3) min],there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05),but pacing thresholds and pacing perception between two groups had no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).Common group occurred complications in 2 cases,respectively cardiac perforation and induced paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia,balloon tipped group occurred concurrent electrode wire dislocation in 2 cases.Conclusion Compared with the common electrode,balloon tipped floating electrode is simple,fast,high success rate and low risk of complications,suitable emergency physician bedside operating emergency temporary pacing.

Objective:To determine the prognostic value of DNA ploidy and nuclear morphometry,and its relations to nuclear grading in renal cell carcinoma.Methods:Pathological grading were done in 47cases of renal cell carcinoma in accordance with the system proposed by Fuhrman et al.Feulgen staining were performed in the tumor histological slides,and the technique of image cytometry was used to quantitate nuclear DNA ploidy and nuclear morphological parameters.The results combined with the data of clinical follow up were analyzed.Results:The mean DNA ploidy in grade Ⅰ～Ⅱ was mainly 2C,≥5C cells less than 10%;the 2C cells in grade Ⅲ～Ⅳ were lower than in grade Ⅰ～Ⅱ,≥5C cells were more than 20%.Among the four grades DNA ploidy were statistically different( P

80) via portal vein.After reperfusion 1 h,1 d,3d and 7 d respectively,the concentration of superoxide dismutase(SOD) and catalase(CAT) were tested,and the apoptosis of hepatocarcinoma also was observed using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end-labeling(TUNEL) method.Results The results indicated that the SOD concentration in both hepatocarcinoma tissue and normal hepatic tissues decreased following I/R and perfusion with hyperoxic fluid liquid.The concentration of CAT increased following I/R in normal hepatic tissues.In hepatocarcinoma tissue,concentration of CAT decreased after reperfusion for 1 d and reached its lowest point.After perfusion with hyperoxic fluid,the concentration of SOD in both hepatocarcinoma tissue and normal hepatic tissues decreased more quickly following I/R and the low level was still found on 7 d after reperfusion.The concentration of CAT in tissues of both groups decreased and reached the lowest level at 1 h after reperfusion,but it was restored at 3 d reperfusion in normal hepatic tissues,and in hepatocarcinoma tissue was still at lower level until 7 d after reperfusion. After I/R,the apoptotic cells increased in normal hepatic and hepatic cancer tissues,and were most marked in tissues of hepatic carcinoma at 1 d and 3 d after perfusion with hyperoxic fluid.After I/R and perfusing with hyperoxic fluid,the changes of SOD and CAT and apoptosis in hepatocarcinoma tissue were more obvious than that in normal hepatic tissues(P

OBJECTIVETo detect the levels of miR-499 and relative proteins in hearts of mice after exercise training, and investigate the mechanism of exercise-regulative apoptosis.

METHODSMale C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 3 groups( n = 14): sedentary (SE), exercise training 1 (ET1) and exercise training 2 (ET2) group. SE did not do any exercise. ET1 performed swimming training for 8 weeks. ET2 performed the same work as ET1 until the 5th week. Then, mice trained twice a day until the end of training. TUNEL assay was applied to test myocardial apoptosis, RT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect miR-499 and proteins levels respectively.

RESULTSCompared with SE, stress in ET1 failed to affect apoptotic index (AI) and miR-499-CaN-Drp-1 pathway (P > 0.05). In contrast, exercise load in ET2 increased miR-499 level, decreased Drp-1 level and AI with statistical significance respectively (P < 0.05), but neither CaN expression nor CaN activity was changed significantly (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSwimming training can inhibit myocardial apoptosis, and the decrease in Drp-l may be responsible for the reduced myocardial apoptosis. CaN, the upstream protein, does not participate in exercise-regulative apoptosis.

The diversity of diagnostic criteria of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) makes it difficult to compare clinical trial results and exchange clinical experiences. To address this issue, an ITP international working group convened a consensus conference in Italy in October 2007, and some new consensus concerning the terminology, definition, phases, grading of severity, prognosis, and treatment were achieved. The treatment of ITP has been dramatically improved along with the introduction of novel therapeutic agents. Rituximab, a monoclonal anti-CD20 antibody that is able to deplete autoantibody-producing B lymphocytes, has been widely applied because of its high efficacy and safety. Recent evidences suggest that decreased platelet production may also contribute to the development of ITP. Therefore, novel thrombopoiesis-stimulating agents such as thrombopoietin-receptor agonists Romiplostim and Eltrombopag have become new therapeutic options for ITP.

The flow distribution of leukocytes in the microvasculature of rat skeletal muscle during hemorrhagic shock was measured by Microcirculation Image Multiple Parameters Computer Analysis System (MIMPCAS). It was found that the change of leukocyte flow distribution had taken place in V3 during hemorrhagic shock as follows: central axial-flowing leukocytes moved slowly, marginated to the vessel wall then started to roll along the wall, and stuck to the endothelium at last. During transfusion blood flow became faster, sticking leukocytes were rushed out to be rolling along the vessel wall and accelerated to enter the central stream. Total leukocyte -endothelium contact time (TLECT), which is a quantitative index for leukocyte endothelium interaction, is calculated, and it was found that TLECT was prolonged in shock state. The results show that it is not enough to increase blood pressure and shear stress to liberate sticking leukocytes, and it is necessary to search for a new approach to decrease the adhesive force between leukocyte and endothelium. Polygonum cuspidatum may not only increase wall shear rate but also decrease the adhesive force.

Objective To investigate the mechanism by which electro-acupuncture (EA) promotes revascularization in the brain after focal cerebral ischemia and reperfusion.Methods The Sprague-Dawley rat model of focal cerebral ischemia was made by filament occlusion. The rats were randomly divided into a control group, a model group, and an EA group. The model and EA groups were each divided into 5 subgroups receiving reperfusion 1, 3,7, 14 or 21 days after ischemia. EA was given at the bilateral Hegn point (LI 4) in the EA group. The expression of stromal cell-derived factor-1α(SDF-1α) mRNA was detected using a RT-PCR in the 3, 7 and 14 day subgroups.The immunohistochemical method was employed to detect the expression of SDF-1α protein. Results Compared with the control group, expression of SDF-1α protein increased significantly in the model and EA groups. Compared with the model group, the expression of SDF-1α mRNA increased significantly in the 3, 7 and 14 day subgroups.SDF-1α protein expression and microvessel count increased slightly but not significantly in the 1d subgroup, but the increases were significant in the 3, 7, 14 and 21 day subgroups.Conclusions EA may promote angiogenesis in an ischemic area of the cortex by increasing the expression of SDF-1αmRNA and its protein after focal cerebral ischemia and reperfusion.
