Objective To study changes of neuroendocrine in patients with ST segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) after using distal protection device (GuardWire PlusTM). Method Seventy patients with STEMI received percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in Municipal Hospital Qingdao, during September 2004 to December 2006. They were randomdy (random numbs) enrolled in this prospective and control study. All the patients were divided into 2 groups: the distal protection device group (GW) and the non-distal protection device group (NGW).The inclusion criteria were:onset within 6 hours, chest pain more than 30 minutes without response to nitroglycerin, two or more adjacent ST segnents elevated over 0.2 mv,the proximal or middle diameter of infarction artery over 3 mm, and the increased plasma creatine kinase. The exclusion criteria were fluctuation in hemodynamics, severe heart failure, arteriopathy of left main coronary artery, mechanical complications of acute myocardial infarction and multi-vessel disease scheduled for coronary artery bypass. The plasma levels of endothelin(ET) , plasma renin activity (PRA),aldosterone (ALD),angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ), norepinephrine (NE) and epinephrine (E) were measured on the day of operation and on the 1st,2nd,3rd and 5th day after operation, respectively. The t-test was used to compare those neuroendocrine elements between two groups. Results There were no differences in plasma levels of all the neuroendocrine elements between two groups before operation. Compared with the NGW group, the levels of neuroendocrine elements in the plasma rapidly decreased in the GW group at 1 d after the operation ( P ＜ 0.05). Conclusions In patients with ST segment elevation acute myocardial infarction, the distal protection device can decrease the changes in neuroendocrine.

Objective Objective To study the feasibility of direct applying MRI to TPS by measuring the geometric distortion of MRI. Methods Phantom 1 was made by marking radical arrangement of fat pipelines every 15? in foam phantom and Phantom 2 by net arrangement at every 2.7?cm. Coronal and transverse scan parallel with the radial and net fat pipeline in the phantom was performed at sequence of cranial FSE T2WI by Marconi 1.5T superconduct MRI machine. Geometric distortion in 5 different fields of view (FOV) was calculated by measuring the absolute borderline error of direct scan and coronal digital reconstructed radiograph (DRR). Results When FOV was equal or smaller than 11.0?cm?11.0?cm, 22.0?cm?22.0?cm and 27.5?cm?27.5?cm, the geometric distortion was 0.0, 1.1 and 1.4?mm of direct scanning MRI and 1.0,1.4 and 2.0?mm of coronal DRR. Conclusion When the magnetic field of MR is high and the tissue shows uniform density, MRI can be applied on TPS directly.

We established an ELISPOT for bovine interferon-gamma (BoIFN-γ), and applied it in the diagnosis of bovine tuberculosis (bTB). Monoclonal antibodies that can bind with native BoIFN-γ were screened as the coating antibody and detecting antibody. After optimization of detecting conditions including coating antibody concentration, cell number, and detecting antibody concentration, the ELISPOT assay was established. Peripheral mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from 30 cows were co-cultured with PPD, and detected with the ELISPOT assay. The optimal conditions of ELISPOT assay were 2.5 μg/mL coating antibody 2G5, 2.5 x 10(5) cells/well, and 1 μg/mL detecting antibody Bio-5E11. In these 30 cows tested both with the ELISPOT assay and the BOVIGAM kit, 11 cows were proved to be positive in ELISOPT assay with the sensitivity of 78.6%, and 12 cows were proved to be negative in ELISOPT assay with the specificity of 75%. The ELISPOT assay for BoIFN-γ could be used to detect bTB efficiently and it might be an alternative method for the diagnosis of bTB.

OBJECTIVETo determine the role of the NF-kappaB/I-kappaB pathway during ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury to rat liver.

METHODSA group of rats underwent partial hepatic ischemia and reperfusion. The left and median lobe of the liver was subjected to ischemia for 90 minutes followed by reperfusion for previously specified periods. NF-kappaB activity was analyzed by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). The protein level of I-kappaB was assessed using Western blot analysis. A semiquantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction was used to analyze TNF-alpha and ICAM-1 mRNA levels.

RESULTSDuring liver I/R injury, NF-kappaB activation was induced in a time-dependent fashion. NF-kappaB was activated within 1 hour and 2 hours after the initiation of reperfusion and decreased afer 4 hours. The I-kappaB protein level was decreased in the cytoplasm after 2 hours, and the messenger RNA expression of TNF-alpha and ICAM-1 were increased simultaneously.

CONCLUSIONSThe data suggest that I-kappaB protein was degraded during hepatic I/R injury, NF kappaB was released and bound to special sequence in the promoters of budget genes, which regulated the expression of TNF-alpha and ICAM-1 mRNA. This provides evidence that the NF-kappaB/I-kappaB pathway plays an important modulating role in the expression of proinflammatory genes relevant to the development of ischemia reperfusion injury.
