Animal models of chronic myocardial ischemia are more accordant with clinical pathological and physiological procession of ischemic cardiomyopathy, because they can be administrated more times and observed for a long time. The major methods to establish animal models include chronic coronary mechanically compressed, coronary embolismed, coronary ligated and high fat die. We should select the different kinds of animal and methods according to the different physiologicals characteristics in animal.

Objective To study the effect of Simiaoyongantang on human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs) injury induced by hypoxia.Methods The HUVECs were divided into normal group,model group and Simiaoyongantang group,and the hypoxia model was established at the latter two groups.The livability of HUVECs was measured by MTT assay.The transudation of LDH in the medium was measured by biochemistry and the positive expression of VEGF was detected by immunofuorescence chemistry.Results The level of LDH was reduced significantly and the cell activity indicated by MTT was increased.The number of the cells stained by VEGF increased in the treatment group of Simiaoyongantang.Conclution Simiaoyongantang has protective effect on hypoxia injured HUVECs,which may be related to its effect of increasing the cells livability,reducing the injury induced by hypoxia,up-regulating expressions of VEGF and promoting angiogenesis.

Objective To investigate the effects of artervenous fistula on structure and function of heart in patients with hemodialysis in the Second Clinical Hospital of Chinese Medical University from 2004 to 2005.Methods AVF、LAD、RVD、LVD、LVEDV、SV and EF were examined and analysed before and 8 weeks after AVF in 55 patients with hemodialysis.Results LAD、RVD、LVD、LVEDV after AVF increased significantly and EF reduced evidently after AVF.Conclusion AVF can cause extension of LAD、 RVD、 LVD and decrease of EF.

Objective To investigate the application value of combined detection of antikeratin (AKA) antibody,anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide(anti-CCP) antibody,anti-RA33 antibody,RF and ESR in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis(RA).Methods One hundred cases of RA and 60 cases of suspected RA in our hospital from June 2014 to May 2015 were collected.One hundred and twenty cases of non-RA other autoimmune diseases served as the control group.The indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) was used to detect anti-KA antibody,anti-CCP antibody and anti-RA33 antibody were detected by using ELISA.The rate scatter turbid assay was used to detect RF.The Westergren method was used to detect ESR.The diagnostic performance of each diagnostic indicator was evaluated.Results The detection rates of anti-KA antibody,anti-CCP antibody,anti-RA33 antibody,RF and ESR in the RA group were in turn 64%,75%,44%,84% and 51% respectively,the detection rate(sensitivity) of 5-indicator parallel detection were 97%, the specificity of 5-indicator series detection was 89.2%;in the suspected RA group,the detection rates of 5-indicator were in turn 16.7%, 31.7%,13.3%,20%,15% respectively,which in the control group were in turn 0.8%,2.5%,1.7%,0.8% and 5.8% respectively.The detection rates of 5-indicator in the RA group was significantly higher than that in the suspected RA group,showing extremely significant difference (P<0.001),the detection rate of 5-indicator had extremely significant difference between the suspected RA group and control group (P<0.001),the sensitivity of five-indicator parallel detection was 97%,which was significantly higher than that of single indicator detection (P<0.05),the detection specificity of 5-indicator series detection was up to 100%,which was also significantly higher than that of single indicator detection (P<0.05),the missed diagnosis rate of parallel detection was minimal,while the negative predictive value was highest,the misdiagnosis rate of series detection was lowest,the positive predictive value was highest,the Youden index of parallel detection was largest.Conclusion The single detection of anti-CCP antibody and RF have good sensitivity and specificity, but 5-indicator combined detection has higher sensitivity and specificity,which can better reduce the missed diagnosis rate and misdiagnosis rate,can greatly improve the efficiency of diagnosis,and has an important clinical significance for the early diagnosis of RA.

Objective To study the protective effects of Tianma xingnao capsule on brain blood circulation in mice and rats.Methods The arteria carotis externa was ligated,and arteria carotis interna was kept.The left carotid artery was exposed and placed over an ultrasonic flow probe.The brain flow volume was recorded with an Ultrasonic Volume.The pursiness time of mice was observed to evaluate the effect of Tianma xingnao capsule on cerebral ischemia and anoxia.The permeability of normal blood-cerebral barrier was investigated in mice.Results Tianma xingnao capsule significantly increased brain blood flow and prolonged mouse pursiness time.Tianma xingnao capsule at a dose of 4 g/kg significantly elevated the content of Evans in mouse brain.Conclusions Tianma xingnao capsule can increase the brain blood flow in rats and improve brain blood circulation in mice.It is obviously advantageous to protect against cerebral ischemia and hypoxia.

AIM: To observe and study the influence of cardiac sympathetic nerve on QT dispersion (QTd) and the circadian variations of QTd in experimental rabbits. METHODS: The rabbits were divided into experimental group (without cardiac sympathetic control by operation) and control group (with retained cardiac sympathetic control by operation, sham operation). QTd of both groups were measured and compared before and after the operation. The circadian variations of QTd were also observed in both groups. RESULTS: QTd in experimental group decreased significantly after the cardiac sympathetic nerves were excised (P

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of ischemic postconditioning (IPC) on myocardial perfusion levels of acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients having underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and the safety of IPC. Methods One hundred and sixty patients with STEMI were enrolled, and they accepted the primary PCI therapy within the onset of 12 h. The patients were divided into 2 groups according the treatment method:control group (routine PCI group, 82 cases) and IPC group (78 cases). The ST-segment resolution, TIMI myocardial perfusion grade (TMPG), before and after PCI levels of nitrogen monoxidum (NO), endothelin (ET)-1, tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA), plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-1, rate of intraoperative complication were observed. The patients were followed up for 6 months, the rate of major adverse cardiac event (MACE) was recorded. Results The rates of ST-segment resolution and TMPG well in IPC group were significantly higher than those in control group:84.62%(66/78) vs. 67.07%(55/82) and 80.77%(63/78) vs. 64.63%(53/82), and the rate of ischemia-reperfusion injury in IPC group was significantly lower than that in control group: 7.69%(6/78) vs. 24.39%(20/82), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05 or<0.01). The endothelial function and fibrinolysis activity indexes (NO, ET-1, t-PA and PAI-1 levels ) 7 d after PCI in IPC group were significantly better than those in control group: (52.37 ± 3.84) μmol/L vs. (50.95 ±3.85) μmol/L, (75.47 ±3.47) ng/L vs. (76.61 ±3.72) ng/L, (12.96 ±1.25) μg/L vs. (12.52 ±1.23) μg/L, (21.78 ±4.01)μg/L vs. (24.95±7.56)μg/L, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05 or<0.01). There was no statistical difference in the rate of intraoperative complication between 2 groups ( P>0.05). The rate of MACE in IPC group was significantly lower than that in control group:3.85% (3/78) vs. 14.63% (12/82), and there was statistical difference (P<0.05). Conclusions Applying IPC in patients with STEMI having underwent primary PCI is safe and can improve myocardial perfusion levels. The improvement of vessel endothelial function and fibrinolysis activity attained from IPC may be the major mechanism.
