ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the advantages of the impact of physical activity management under medical supervision on body components and healthy physical fitness.Methods:A total of 106 healthy adults who participated in physical activity management activities in the Health Management Center of Sichuan Academy of Medical Sciences & Sichuan Provincial People′s Hospital from April 1 st 2020 to May 31 th 2021 were enrolled. The subjects were equally divided into a medical supervision group and a self-supervision group with random number table. Both groups performed a 8-week physical activity intervention, followed by the model of “a combination of online home physical activity with offline team exercise, and team exercise interaction with individual physical activity guidance”, while health education was provided and wearable devices were worn to collect exercise data. The medical supervision group completed the set number of exercises under the supervision of the team, with on-site exercise guidance. They were required to participate in weekly one-to-one on-site instruction. The self-management group carried out exercises and participated in weekly one-to-one instruction in accordance according to their own will with online feedback. During the study, 6 cases withdrew, and 52 cases in the supervision group and 48 in the self-management group were obtained. The t and Wilcoxon tests were used to compare the body components and physical fitness of the two groups before and after intervention. Results:The amount of exercise in the supervision group was significantly higher than that in self-management group (1 359 vs 615), and there was no significant differences in exercise intensity (mean heart rate, maximum heart rate and exercise duration) between the two groups (all P>0.05). After the intervention, the body weight, body mass index (BMI), percent body fat, subcutaneous fat area and strength fitness of the supervision group were significantly lower than those before the intervention [(55.36±6.37) vs (56.11±6.33) kg, (21.48±2.85) vs (21.73±2.47) kg/m 2, (27.38±5.34) % vs (28.53±4.99) %, (119.56±48.45) vs (128.70±50.10) cm 2, (24.48±6.37) vs (26.07±5.29) kg], while the cardiorespiratory endurance, flexibility fitness and agility fitness were significantly higher [(33.57±5.06) vs (30.32±4.59) ml·kg -1·min -1, (14.71±7.51) vs (10.54±7.54) cm, (0.44±0.08) vs (0.48±0.05) s] (all P<0.05). After the intervention, the body weight, muscle mass and lean body mass in self-management group were all significantly higher than those before the intervention [(56.83±8.09) vs (56.45±8.22) kg, (38.28±3.19) vs (38.24±5.17) kg; (40.80±4.16) vs (40.32±4.95) kg], and agility fitness was significantly lower [(0.64±0.39) vs (0.49±0.05) s] (all P<0.05). It was also found that improvements regarding the following three indicators were more significant in the supervision group: visceral fat, balance and agility fitness (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Physical activity intervention under medical supervision can significantly improve the body components and physical fitness in healthy adults, as well as exercise compliance and validity.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the protective role and mechanism of hypoxia inducible factor(HIF)-1α in myocardial ischemia postconditioning.Methods:Forty healthy adult SD rats were randomly divided into four groups with 10 rats in each group.The control group(group A)was sham operation group, and the rats underwent the same surgical procedures except that the suture passed under the left anterior descending branch(LAD)of the coronary artery was not tightened for 225 minutes.In the ischemia-reperfusion group(group B), the LAD was blocked for 45 minutes, and then reperfusion for 3 hours.In the ischemic postconditioning group(group C), 45 minutes after blocking the LAD, reperfusion was performed for 10 seconds-ischemia for 10 seconds at the beginning of reperfusion, a total of 3 cycles of intervention, and reperfusion for 3 hours.Ischemic postconditioning + HIF-1α inhibitor group(group D): 45 minutes after blocking the LAD, HIF-1α inhibitor AG490 (3 μg/g) was injected intraperitoneally, and reperfusion was performed for 10 seconds-ischemia 10 seconds at the moment of reperfusion.A total of 3 cycles of intervention, reperfusion for 3 hours.Blood samples were harvested from femoral vein at three time points(before ligation of the LAD, 45 minutes after ischemia, 3 hours after reperfusion)to analyze the serum levels of creatine kinase and cardiac troponin respectively.After 3 hours of reperfusion, myocardial tissue was used to measure the infarction size through 2, 3, 5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining method; and Western blot method was used to detect the expression of HIF-1α in each group.Results:(1) There were no significant differences in the serum levels of creatine kinase and cardiac troponin among four groups before ligation( P>0.05); 45 minutes after ischemia, there were significant differences between group B, group C, and group D compared with group A ( P<0.01). After 3 hours of reperfusion, there were significant differences between group B, group C, and group D compared with group A (all P<0.01), and group B, group D were significantly higher than that in group C ( P<0.05). (2)Compared with group A[(2.46±1.13)%], the area of myocardial infarction in group B was (45.81±5.96)%, in group C was (37.17±4.99)%, and group D was (45.00±3.29) %, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01). (3)The HIF-1α protein in myocardial tissue in group A was slightly expressed; the expression of HIF-1α protein in group B was higher than that in group A( P<0.05); and group C was significantly higher than that in group B ( P<0.05); HIF-1α protein was almost not expressed in group D. Conclusion:After ischemic postconditioning, HIF-1α increased in myocardium; the increased expression of HIF-1α may be involved in the protective process of myocardial ischemic postconditioning in rats.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the feasibility and efficacy of emergency congenital heart disease(CHD) surgery in infants with CHD suffering from severe pneumonia and respiratory failure.Methods:The clinical data of 74 CHD infants who underwent emergency surgery at Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from January 2015 to December 2019 due to severe pneumonia and respiratory failure were collected.All patients underwent radical surgery.The perioperative mortality and main complications during hospitalization, as well as the mechanical ventilation time before and after the operation were analyzed.Results:There was no death case during the operation, no secondary thoracotomy.Three patients were discharged from the hospital (4.05%). The incidence of complication of complication was 4.05% (3/74), including 1 case of pericardial effusion (1.35%), 1 patient with pleural effusion (1.35%), and 1 patient with arrhythmia(1.35%). The preoperative mechanical ventilation time was 3-20 days, with an average of (9.41±5.67) days, and the postoperative mechanical ventilation time was 1-9 days, with an average of (4.50±1.96) days.The difference between preoperative and postoperative mechanical ventilation time was statistically significant ( t=2.468, P=0.024). The length of treatment in the ICU was 4-29 days before surgery, with an average of (13.28±6.44) days; the length of stay in the ICU was 7-31 days after surgery, with an average of (16.76±7.89) days.There was no statistically significant difference between the length of stay in the ICU before and after surgery ( t=1.565, P=0.125). Total hospital stay was 13-60 days, with an average of (30.32±11.47) days.The average level of NT-proBNP before operation was (11 053±8 420) pg/ml, and the average level of NT-proBNP decreased to (2 266±2 126) pg/ml after operation ( P<0.05). Conclusion:CHD infants with severe pneumonia and respiratory failure, even if they need ventilator support before surgery, are not a contraindication for primary surgery.Surgery may be an effective method to stop the mechanical ventilation for patients with severe pneumonia.
ABSTRACT
Patent ductus arteriosus(PDA) is one of the most common congenital heart diseases in preterm infants.The continuous opening of hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus(hsPDA) may cause a variety of serious complications, such as severe pulmonary hypertension, chronic lung disease, multiple organ dysfunction such as heart and lung, cerebral hemorrhage, pulmonary hemorrhage, necrotizing enterocolitis, and even life-threatening.Closing arterial catheters in time can help to reduce hypoxia, improve cardiopulmonary function, and reduce complications.This review summarizes the early treatment progress of arterial duct patency in preterm infants.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect of erythropoietin( EPO) pretreatment on myocardial pro-tection in perioperative period of infant congenital heart disease operation and explore its underlying mecha-nism. Methods All the 80 patients who were suffered from non-cyanotic congenital heart disease undergone cardiopulmonary bypass in open heart operation were selected from Shengjing Hospital of China Medical Uni-versity cardiac surgery ward from April 2014 to January 2017. The patients were randomly divided into A,B, C three groups according to blocked randomization method. Group A patients were treated with subcutaneous injection of EPO 150 IU/kg 12 hours before operation,group B patients were treated with subcutaneous injec-tion of EPO 300 IU/kg 12 hours before operation,patients in group C( control group) had no treatment. All patients were detected myocardial zymetology after admission to hospital as well as 24 h,48 h,72 h after oper-ation. HSP70,ERK1/2 mRNA and protein expression in right auricle were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot method,respectively. Results At each time point after operation,myocardial zymetology were signifi-cantly lower in group A and B compared with group C,the index of myocardial zymetology in group A were lower than that in group B(P<0. 05). The expressions of HSP70,ERK1/2 mRNA and protein were signifi-cantly up-regulated in group A and B compared to the control group(P<0. 05). The expressions of HSP70, ERK1/2 mRNA and protein in group A were significantly higher than those in group B ( P < 0. 05 ) . Conclusion EPO pretreatment has a positive effect on the myocardial protection during cardiopulmonary bypass. EPO may act a role of endogenous myocardial protection through up-regulation of the expressions of HSP70 and ERK1/2. The dosage of 150 IU/kg EPO is more significant on the effect of myocardial protection.
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish chronic coronary stenosis model for fractional flow reserve derived from coronary CT angiography (FFRcT) in Bama miniature pig,and to evaluate its reliability.Methods Sixteen Bama miniature pigs were used to establish chronic coronary stenosis models through placing Ameroid constrictor into proximal or middle segments of left anterior descending arteries (LAD).In the 2nd week after modeling,the degrees of stenosis were monitored with coronary CTA.Invasive coronary angiography was used to verify stenosis degrees and measure fractional flow reserve (FFR) within 2 days of last coronary CTA examination.Computational fluid dynamics model was constructed and FFRcT was calculated by the specialized laboratory based on coronary CTA data respectively.Simulated FFRcT and FFR values were compared to verify this model.Results Models were successfully established in 10 pigs with a total of 24 coronary CT examinations,of which image quality met the diagnostic requirements.All models were with LAD stenosis＜25 ％ in the 2nd week after operation.LAD stenosis ＞50％ was found in the 3rd week in 9 pigs,and the other one was found with LAD stenosis ＞50％ in the 4th week.The results of coronary CTA corresponded to those of coronary angiography.There was no significant difference between simulated FFRcT and FFR value (t =-1.13,P =0.29).Conclusion Through placing Ameroid constrictor into LAD of Bama miniature pig and monitoring the degree of stenosis with coronary CTA,model of chronic coronary stenosis could be successfully established,which are suitable for noninvasive simulating hemodynamics study based on coronary CTA.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect of drug edible of herbal medicine granule on vascular endothelial function in patients with coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods A total of 200 cases featuring with cardiovascular blood stasis were chosen from patients who were diagnosed with CHD in Zhengzhou hospital of traditional Chinese medicine from January 2015 to January 2016.All cases were divided into observation group(n=98)and control group(n=102).The observation group was given Xin bao drug edible of herbal medicine granule and conventional drugs,and the control group was given conventional drugs.After 8 weeks of observation,the levels of endothelin(ET-1),nitric oxide(NO)and angiotensin Ⅱ(AngⅡ)were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The serum levels of total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),low density lipoprotein(LDL),and TCM clinical symptom score were compared between the two groups.Results The level of TC of the control group was decreased after treatment(P<0.05);the levels of TC,TG and LDL in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the levels of NO,ET-1,Ang-Ⅱ and FMD in the observation group were significantly different from those before treatment(P<0.05).The levels of NO and FMD in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,and the levels of ET-1 and Ang-Ⅱ were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the scores of TCM clinical symptoms in the observation group were lower than those before treatment(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the total score of palpitations,the times of shortness of breath and clinical symptoms were lower than those in the observation group(P<0.05).Conclusion Xin bao drug edible of herbal medicine granule could relieve coronary heart disease blood stasis type of patients with vascular tension,reduce its endothelial cell damage and improve its clinical symptoms.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the experience of emergency operation for patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in neonates and to assess the therapeutic effect.Methods The clinical data of 31 PDA neonates(15 male,16 female) treated in our department from July 2012 to February 2015 were reviewed retrospectively.Of these cases,28 were preterm infants and 3 were full term infants.Mean gestational age was 30+4 weeks ranging from 26+2 to 39 +3 weeks.Mean birth weight and weight at operation was(1 159.0 ± 729.2) g and (1 522.0 ± 644.5) g,respectively.We operated with left transaxillary straight incision in 6 cases and posterolateral minimal incision in 25 cases,and the pleural cavity was entered via the 4th intercostal space.All the neonates were divided into ＜ 1 500 g group(n =24) and ＞ 1 500 g group(n =7) by weight,the clinical prognosis were analysized.Results All 31 operations were finished successfully.No deaths occurred as a result of surgery.Average time of operation was (62.7 ± 29.9) min.Mean time of mchanical ventilation after the operation among survivors was (5.5 ± 4.7) d.The time of mechanical ventilation between ＜ 1 500 g group and ＞ 1 500 g group were (7.2 ± 2.3) d and (4.9 ± 2.4) d respectively,and there was significant difference between two groups(P ＜ 0.001).The time of hospital stay were (45.3 ± 11.0) d and (20.4 ± 14.5) d respectively between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Twenty-eight cases recovered and released from the hospital successfully.Two cases quited the treatment themselves and 1 succumbed to death because of heart failure,hyperkalemia and arrhythmia.ConclusionEmergency surgical closure is a safe and effective method for the treatment of neonatal large PDA,especially with congestive heart failure,a variety of complications,long time ventilator dependence,medical treatment failure,which should be ligatured timely as it can have severe influence on the cardiopulmonary function.After ligation the abnormal shunt will disappear and the cardiopulmonary function will be better.It is helpful to extubate ventilators and improve the survival rates.
