Objective To explore the effects of drug-coated balloons(DCB)on the patency rate of target lesion vessels,coagulation function and vascular endothelial function in patients with in-stent restenosis(ISR)after percutaneous endovascular angioplasty(PTA)for lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans(ASO).Methods A total of 62 patients with ISR and ASO admitted to the hospital were retrospectively enrolled between March 2020 and March 2022.According to different treatment methods,they were divided into DCB group(n=38)and common balloon(SAB)group(n=24).All were followed up for 12 months after surgery.The changes in primary patency rate of target lesion vessel,clinically driven-target lesion revascularization(CD-TLR)rate,late loss of values in the lumen(LLL),ankle-brachial index(ABI),coagulation function indexes[prothrombin time(PT),activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),fibrinogen(FIB),D-dimer(D-D)]and vascular endothelial function indexes[serum endothelin-1(ET-1),nitric oxide(NO),flow-mediated dilatation(FMD)]were observed,and the occurrence of postoperative complications in the two groups was recorded.Results At 12 months after surgery,primary patency rate of target lesion vessels in DCB group was higher than that in SAB group(86.84％vs 50.00％),CD-TLR rate,LLL and ABI were lower than those in SAB group[13.16％,(1.39±0.52)mm,(0.76±0.12)vs 50.00％,(1.79±0.64)mm,(0.62±0.11);P＜0.05].At24h and 2 weeks after surgery,there was no significant difference in PT,APTT,FIB or D-D between the two groups(P＞0.05).At 24h and 2 weeks after surgery,levels of serum ET-1 in DCB group were lower than those in SAB group[(66.65±7.12)pg/ml,(65.58±6.98)pg/ml vs(71.74±6.92)pg/ml,(68.84±6.51)pg/ml)],while NO levels were higher than those in SAB group[(32.21±4.17)pg/ml,(34.62±3.32)pg/ml vs(28.53±5.23)pg/ml,(31.21±4.19)pg/ml;P＜0.05].At 2 weeks after surgery,FMD in DCB group was higher than that in SAB group[(12.49±5.33)％vs(9.14±4.42)％,P＜0.05].There was no significant difference in the total incidence of complications between the two groups(21.50％vs 12.50％,P＞0.05).Conclusion Compared with SAB,DCB can effectively protect vascular endothelial function and improve the primary patency rate of ISR after PTA in patients with lower extremity ASO.

Objective:To study the molecular mechanism for momordin in inducing apoptosis of multidrug-resistant human chronic leukemia K562/A02 cells. Methods:The growth inhibition value of K562/A02 cells was detected by CCK-8 method. Cell apoptosis was analyzed by Annexin Ⅴ flow cytometry (FCM) and cell morphological examination. FCM was also used in determining expression of P-glycoprotein, p53 protein, bcl-2 protein and caspase activity. Results:Momordin inhibited the proliferation of K562/A02 cells in a dose-dependent manner. It also induced cell apoptosis, reduced the expression of P-glycoprotein, p53 protein and bcl-2 protein, and increased caspase-3 and caspase-8 activity.Conclusion:Momordin reversed the inhibition of apoptosis in multidrug-resistant K562/A02 cells. The molecular mechanism may be related with down-regulation of expression of p53 protein, P-glycoprotein, and bcl-2 protein and up-regulation of caspase-3 and caspase-8 activities.

AIM: To explore the change of the expression of cell adhesion molecule CD_ 54 and CD_ 44 in erythroleukemic K562 apoptosis cells induced by momordin from momordica charantia seeds and study the effects of cell adhesion molecule CD_ 54 and CD_ 44 on cell apoptosis induced by momordin. METHODS: After the treatment of K562 cells with appropriated concentration momordin, CCK-8 test was employed to determine K562 cells growth; flow cytometry FACScan (FITC-Annexin V staining) and electron microscopy were used to detect apoptosis; The expression of CD_ 54 and CD_ 44 were examined by flow cytometry FACScan (FITC-CD_ 54 and PE-CD_ 44 staining). RESULTS: CCK-8 test showed K562 cells growth was significant inhibited by momordin; the apoptosis was detected by cell morphology and flow cytometry FACScan (FITC-Annexin V) in K562 cells after treatment by appropriated concentration momordin. The expressions of CD_ 54 and CD_ 44 in momordin treated K562 cells were 18.62 % and 1.32 % respectively, and in negative momordin treated K562 cells were 0.25 % and 0.17 % respectively, and momordin could up-expresses the protein of CD_ 54 18.37 % and CD_ 44 1.15 %. CONCLUSION: Momordin can markedly induce the K562 cell to apoptosis. The up-expressions of CD_ 54 exist in the process of apoptosis induced by momordin. The change of cell adhesion molecule maybe one of the key factors in the mechanisms of apoptosis induced by momordin, and its mechanism maybe involve in adhesion-dependent apoptosis.
