BACKGROUND: Current studies have shown that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells from normal or young people usual y serve as a source of transplanted cells in stem cel transplantation treatment of myocardial infarction. OBJECTIVE: To compare the therapeutic effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells from diabetic and normal rats on myocardial infarction. METHODS: Under sterile conditions, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells from normal and diabetic rats were harvested. Then, rat models of myocardial infarction were established and randomly divided into three groups:100 μL cellsuspension containing 105-106 bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells from F2 normal or diabetic rats was injected into myocardial infarction lesions, and 100 μL Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium containing 20%fetal bovine serum was injected serving as blank control. After 1 month, hematoxylin-eosin staining for myocardial infarction lesions was performed for histomorphological observation. Bcl-2 expression was detected by immunohistochemistry method. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Based on cel morphology observation and flow cytometry identification, high-purity bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells could be obtained using rat femoral bone marrow adherent culture. Cel growth curve showed that normal rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells grew faster than those from diabetic rats. At 1 month after transplantation, histomorphological improvement was seen in the infarcted area after transplantation of normal rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells as compared with the other two groups. In addition, the Bcl-2 expression in the infarcted area was higher in the normal rat cel group than the the other two groups. These findings indicate that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells from normal rats grow faster than those from diabetic rats, and the cells from normal rats have better therapeutic effects on myocardial infarction.

We found that the platelet aggregation rates induced by ADP, arachidonic acid (AA), collagen and A23187 had an apparent decreasing after injection of berberine into the vein of rabbits, and also found that berberine had an apparent inhibition of calcium influx into platelet induced by A23187 at lower concentrations. We demonstrated that berberine had no obvious effect on cAMP level in the intact platelet of rabbits.

Objective:To evaluate the feasibility and safety of total aortic arch surgery under mild hypothermicvia single upper hemisternotomy approach.Methods:From January 2019 to July 2019, 35 patients(31 male and 4 female) with Stanford A type aortic dissection were diagnosed, who were(43.7±5.7)years old. Aortic arch surgeries were carried out under mild hypothermic via single upper hemisternotomy approach and the perioperative mortality, time of cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB), aortic cross clamp(ACC), circulation arrest(CA) and morbidity of neurological dysfunction were respectively were recorded.Results:All patients were finished aortic arch surgery under mild hypothermic single upper hemisternotomy approach, with 8.6% of mortality(3 patients died perioperation). The time of CPB, ACC and CA were respectively(202±53)min, (128±28)min and(8±3)min. There were 6 cases of transient neurological dysfunction(17.1%) and 1 case of permanent neurological dysfunction(2.9%).Conclusion:Aortic arch surgery under mild hypothermic for Standford A dissectionvia single upper hemisternotomy approach is safe and feasible.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and safety of Sun's procedure for Stanford A type aortic dissection through single upperhemisternotomy approach ( from the Strernal Notch to the level of fourth intercostal space ) .Methods 58 patients(39 male and 19 female) with Stanford A type aortic dissection were retrospective for this study, who were(46.3 ±9. 5) years old.Sun's prcedure were carried out through single upperhemisternotomy approach and the perioperative characteris-tics were recorded.Results All patients were finished Sun's procedure through single upperhemisternotomy approach, with 5.2％ of mortality(3 patients died postoperation).The time of cardiopulmonary bypass, aortic cross clamp and circulation ar-rest were respectively(181.6 ±25.5)min,(114.2 ±19.8)min and(29.0 ±5.8)min.Non serious adverse event were found after 2 to 15 months follow-up.Conclusion Sun's procedure through single upperhemisternotomy approach was one of the safe and feasible treatment for Stanford A type aortic dissection , which can reduce the operative wound and improve the patients ' satisfactory.
