Objective: To investigate the mechanism of vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF)165 and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) improving cardiomyocyte proliferation in experimental porcine after myocardial infarction (MI).
Methods: The MI model was established by left anterior descending artery ligation in 15 male pigs and the animals were divided into 3 groups, n=5 in each group. Control group, the pigs received normal saline injection at the infarct and peri-infarct zones. VEGF group, the pigs received (1×1010 ) pfu of viral titers of Ad-VEGF injection. HGF group, the pigs received (1×1010 ) pfu of viral titers of Ad-HGF injection. The myocardial perfusion and cardiac function were examined by SPECT, the protein expressions of VEGF165 and HGF were measured by Western blot analysis, cardiomyocyte proliferation was analyzed by immunolfuorescence and immunoprecipitation method.
Results: ① Compared with Control group, the expressions of VEGF165 and HGF were higher at the infarct and peri-infarct zones in both treatment groups; ② Both treatment groups had better cardiac function and myocardial perfusion; ③ Both treatment groups had improved cardiomyocyte proliferation at the infarct and peri-infarct zones.④VEGF165 promoted cardiomyocyte proliferation via p27 pathway;⑤HGF promoted cardiomyocyte proliferation via p21 and p27 pathways.
Conclusion: VEGF165 and HGF could improve myocardial perfusion and function in experimental porcine after MI, VEGF165 and HGF promote cardiomyocyte proliferation via different pathways.

Unplanned readmission is one of the adverse outcomes of patients after left ventricular assist device implantation,which seriously affects the prognosis of patients.This article reviews the incidence,causes,influencing factors and intervention measures of unplanned readmission of patients after left ventricular assist device implantation,in order to improve the attention of nursing staff,early identify high-risk groups of unplanned readmission of patients after left ventricular assist device implantation and provide references for formulating personalized intervention measures.

Objective:To explore the risk factors of subsyndromal delirium (SSD) after cardiac surgery in adults and construct a risk model.Methods:The convenience sampling method was used to select 620 adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery admitted to the Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU) of Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2018 as the research object. Patients with postoperative SSD were included in the SSD group, and patients without postoperative SSD were included in the non-SSD group. The preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative clinical data and various indicators of all patients were recorded in detail. Through univariate analysis and binary Logistic regression analysis, the risk factors of SSD after cardiac surgery in adults were explored, and the risk model function was constructed.Results:A total of 569 cases were included in the study. Among them, 399 cases of postoperative subdelirium did not occur (non-SSD group) , 170 cases of postoperative subdelirium occurred (SSD group) , and the incidence of SSD was 29.9%. Univariate analysis found that the influencing factors of adult SSD after cardiac surgery were age, emergency surgery, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) Ⅱ score, aortic occlusion time, deep hypothermia circulatory arrest time, intraoperative plasma transfusion, SICU stay time and the use of dexmedetomidine, and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The binary Logistic regression analysis found that age>76 years [odds ratio ( OR) =4.332, 95% confidence interval ( CI) : (2.103, 8.965) , P<0.001], emergency surgery [ OR=3.453, 95%CI: (1.143, 7.534) , P<0.05], APACHEⅡ score> 15 [ OR=5.453, 95% CI: (1.453, 9.536) , P<0.001], deep hypothermia circulatory arrest time > 34.2 min [ OR=2.132, 95% CI: (1.053, 5.532) , P<0.05] and SICU stay time > 50.0 h [ OR=1.675, 95% CI: (0.832, 5.233) , P<0.05] were independent risks of SSD after cardiac surgery in adults, and the use of dexmedetomidine [ OR=1.536, 95% CI: (0.763, 4.862) , P<0.05] was a protective factor. Conclusions:Age > 76 years, emergency surgery, APACHE Ⅱ score > 15, deep hypothermia circulatory arrest time > 34.2 min, and SICU stay time >50.0 h are independent risk factors for SSD after cardiac surgery in adults, and the use of dexmedetomidine can reduce the occurrence of SSD.
