Objective To study the effects ofautologous bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMCs)transplantation during coronary artery bypass gafting (CABG) on myocardial infarct size. Methods Forty myocardial infarction patients diagnosed by coronary angiography (CAG) and SPECT and confirmed at surgery were enrolled and randomly assigned CABG alone (group Ⅰ) or CABG with intramyocardial or intracoronary injection of autologous BMMCs (group Ⅱ), 20 cases in each group. Baseline and followed up evaluations included SPECT and NYHA-FC before and after 6 months operation, recorded the major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at the same time. The number of autologous BMMCs injected was (6.84 ± 2.88) ×107 in group Ⅱ. Results There was no procedure-related complication during 6 months followed up in all patients. After 6 months operation,left ventricular ejection fraction in group Ⅱ was significantly higher than that in group Ⅰ [(57.40 ±5.21)% vs. (50.75 ±5.88)%,t =3.79,P＜0.05],NYHA-FC in group Ⅱ was significantly improved than that in group Ⅰ [(1.30 ± 0.47) grades vs. (1.85 ± 0.59) grades, t = 3.27, P ＜0.05],SPECT showed myocardial infarct size in group Ⅱ was significantly lower than that in group Ⅰ[(14.57 ±5.20)% vs. (20.45 ±5.18)% ,P ＜0.05]. Conclusion Autologous BMMCs transplantation during CABG is safe and feasible, which can reduce the myocardial infarct size in patients with myocardial infarction.

Objective To explore the technology of excision,and finishing on donative pancreas during combined pancreas-kidney transplantation.Methods We successfully harvested multiple abdominal organs together on 40 cases.Wide surgical exposure was obtained.Cannulas were placed for in situ cooling in portal vein and abdominal aorta,and flushed with HC-A (2000 ml) and UW (1000 ml) with the pressure being 10 cm H2O.The intestine was flushed with 0～4 ( normal saline (1000 ml) and metronidazole (200 ml),the liver,kidney,pancreas,spleen and duodenum were en bloc excised and isolated,and the pancreas and kidney were pruned.Results Excision of donative abdominal organ was successfully performed on all 40 cases.The en bloc warm ischemic time was 3.2 min (2～5 min).The cold ischemic time of pancreas was 10.6 h (8～15 h).The cold ischemic time of kidney was 8.5 h (4～16 h).Post-operation mean withdrawal-insulin time was 9.5 days (4～17 d),FFG 6.7 μmol/L (4.4～10.7 μmol/L),GHbA1c 4.4 ％ (4.1 ％～4.7 ％).Creatine was 87.2 (56～121) μmol/L one month after operation.There were 2 cases of DGF after operation,and the creatine level was returned to the normal within one month after operation.Conclusion Technology of excision,preservation and finishing on donative pancreas for combined pancreas-kidney transplantation was one of the key points for successful transplantation.

Objective:To explore the biological activities of interferon-? on the fibroblasts from rat palatal scar.Methods:Fibroblasts were cultured from rat palatal scar.The cells of pasage 4-6 were suspended into culture medium at (2.5)?105 cells/ml.Then the cells were cultured as fibroblasts-populated collagen latice(FPCL) with the final cell density of 5?104/ml.The cultures were exposed to IFN-?(U/ml) at 0,40, 400 and 4 000 for 24 h respectively.The cell proliferation was studied by MTT assay and FPCL contraction was studied by diameter measuring.Results:The absorbance of the cells treated with IFN-?(U/ml) at 0,40,400 and 4 000 was 0.247?0.014,0.235?0.014,0.190?(0.024) and 0.184?0.021 respectively,the contraction idex(%) of FPCL treated with above concentrations of IFN-? was 88.53,64.47,46.00 and 23.63 respectively.Conclusion:IFN-? may inhibit the proliferation of fibroblasts and the contraction of FPCL.

Objective To explore the technique of allocation and rebuilt of vessels of donor pancreas during pancreas-kidney transplantation.Methods Multiple abdominal organs were successfully retrieved from 40 donors.Results Excision of donor abdominal organs was successful in all the 40 cases.The average warm ischemic time was no 3.2 min,ranging from 2 min to 5 min.No injury occurred in any of the donor organs or vessels.After transplantation,2 patients lost the transplant,one because of abdominal infection,and the other because of venous thrombosis.Conclusion A good trim or rebuilt of donor pancreas vessels is one of the key points for successful combined pancreas-kidney transplantation.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and security of splenic artery ligation for severe hypersplenism during liver transplantation.Method Thirty-two liver transplant patients with preoperative hypersplenism were selected,including 17 cases (ligation group) treated by splenic artery ligation during liver transplantation,and rest 15 patients as non-ligation group.The fluctuation of white blood cells,platelets and volume of spleen were compared between these two groups.At the same time,splenic infarction,postoperative infection,recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding,splenic artery steal syndrome and other complications were observed in these two groups.Result All recipients were followed up for over 6 months.One recipient in ligation group died of multiple organ dysfunction caused by delayed recovery of liver donor with the survival rate being 94.1％ (16/17).The survival rate in non-ligation group was 93.3 ％ (14/15) (one recipient died of respiratory failure caused by pulmonary infection).There was no statistically significant difference in survival rate between these two groups (P＞0.05).Splenic necrosis wasn't detected in the ligation group.The splenic volume in ligation group was significantly less than that in non-ligation group (P＜0.01).The products of splenic maximum length and wide diameter shrunk 33.17-± 8.26 cm2 and 22.47 ± 7.25 cm2 in ligation group and non-ligation group,respectively.The platelet counts of ligation group were significantly greater than those of non-ligation group in all the observation points within 6 postoperative months (P＜0.01).The white blood cell counts of ligation group were greater than those of non-ligation group at the first week postoperatively (P＜0.01),whereas,there was no statistically significant difference between these two groups from then on (P＞0.05).The infection incidence of ligation group was lower than that of non-ligation group within 6 postoperative months (P ＜0.05).Statistically significant differences in recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding and splenic artery steal syndrome weren't found between these two groups (P＞0.05).Conclusion Splenic artery ligation in liver transplantation is safe and effective.It can rapidly increase the counts of platelet and white blood cell in the earlier postoperative time,which is beneficial to patient's recovery.Besides,it adds no correlative complication.

Objective To explore associations between SG13S114A/T and SG13S32A/C polymorphisms of ALOX5AP gene and the genetic susceptibility of ischemic cerebrovascular diseases (ICVD) in Henan Han population.Methods Two hundred and forty-six ICVD patients and 245 healthy controls were recruited from Han population in Henan province. Polymorphisms of SG13S114A/T and SG13S32A/C in ALOX5AP gene were genotyped in these samples by SnaPshot minisequencing method.Each genotype frequency and allele frequency were statistically analyzed and compared between ICVD group and control group using SPSS16.0 software.Haplotype and linkage disequilibrium were analyzed by SHEsis software.Results The SG13S114 AA genotype frequency ( 18.7％ ) and A allele frequency (41.3％) in ICVD group were significantly higher than those in control group (9.0％ and 32.7％,respectively; P =0.002 and P =0.005 ).It was also found that in male ICVD group and in younger ICVD group ( ＜50 years old),the SG13S114 AA genotype frequencies (22.1％ and 22.0％,respectively) and A allele frequencies (42.1％ and 42.7％,respectively) were significantly higher than those in male control group and younger control group (SG13S114 AA genotype:9.0％ and 8.9％ ; P =0.010 and P =0.006,respectively) ;A allele frequencies,34.0％ and 32.0％ ; P =0.048 and P =0.020,respectively.Finally,the prevalence of A-A haplotype in ICVD group was significantly higher than that in control group(30.4％ vs 23.5％,OR =1.419,95％ CI 1.068-1.885,P =0.015).T-C haplotype frequency of ICVD group was significantly lower than that in control group (22.0％ vs 28.8％,OR =0.698,95％ CI 0.523-0.932,P =0.014 ).Conclusions The A allele in SG13S114 loci of ALOX5AP may be a genetic risk factor for ICVD in Han population in Henan province.The association is predominant in ICVD patients of male and younger than 50 years old.Maybe A-A haplotype increases the risk of ICVD and T-C haplotype and has a protective effect against ICVD in Henan Han population.

Objective To investigate the effects of inhibitor of growth 5 (ING5) gene on the proliferation, apoptosis, migration and cell cycle of human breast cancer Bcap-37 cells.Methods The eukaryotic ING5-expressing plasmid and GFP-empty plasmid were steadily transfected in Bcap-37 cells, the expression of green fluorescent protein was measured with fluorescence microscopy, and the high expression of ING5 was measured by real time-PCR. Bcap-37-ING5 cells served as the experimental group, Bcap-37-GFP cells as the mock group and Bcap-37 as the control group. The effects of ING5 on the proliferation were detected by MTT, the cell cycle and apoptosis were detected by Flow cytometry, and the cell migration was detected by cell wound scratch assay and Transwell experiment.Results Bcap-37 cell lines steadily expressing ING5 protein with GFP-tag were acquired by stable transfection. ING5 over-expression inhibited the proliferation and led to G2 arrest of Bcap-37 cells, increased cells apoptosis and decreased the cell migration ability (P<0.05).Conclusion ING5 over-expression may have reverse effect for malignant phenotype of breast cancer cells, and may be employed to indicate the biomarker of prognosis of breast cancer patients and regarded as a target of gene therapy.
