ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the application value of IL-8 monoclonal antibody microbubble combined with ultrsound targeted microbubble destruction ( UTMD) on alleviating myocardial ischemia reperfusion/injury ( MIRI) in rabbits .Methods Forty-two rabbits were randomly divided into closed chest group ( n =7) ,open chest control group ( n = 7) and ischemia-reperfusion ( I/R) group ( n = 28) .I/R group were randomly divided into 30 min reperfusion group( n =7) ,60 min reperfusion group( n =7) ,120 min reperfusion group ( n = 7 ) and 180 min reperfusion group ( n = 7 ) .All rabbits were examined by electrocardiogram , echocardiography and HE staining after MIRI . Targeted myocardial contrast echocardiography ( MCE) was performed and ELISA was used to detect IL-8 content in rabbit myocardium before and after UTMD . Results Electrocardiogram and wall motion returned to normal at 60 min after reperfusion .Targeted MCE showed that with the prolongation of reperfusion after I/R ,the video intensity of myocardium in reperfusion area increased gradually , reaching its peak at 120 min and 180 min after reperfusion .After UTMD ,the video intensity decreased ,and the change rate of video intensity in 30 min reperfusion group was higher than those in other reperfusion groups(all P<0 .05) .The content of IL-8 and its neutralization rate in the ELISA results were consistent with the video intensity and rate of change of targeted MCE .HE staining and scanning electron microscopy showed that myocardial injury was found in I/R group .With the prolongation of reperfusion time ,the degree of myocardial injury was gradually aggravated ,and the injury was alleviated after irradiation .Conclusions IL-8 monoclonal antibody combined with UTMD has the advantages of non-invasive and highly effective in alleviating MIRI .It provides a new way to treat MIRI .
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the value of real-time shear wave elastography in evaluating gastrocnemius muscle elasticity in patients with lumbar disc herniation.Methods One hundred patients with clinically diagnosed unilateral lumbar disc herniation were selected.Selective nerve root block combined with ozone ablation and pulsed radiofrequency therapy via the lateral crypt was performed.The real-time shear wave elastography was applied to detect the mean elastic modulus (Mean) and the maximum elastic modulus (Max) of bilateral tense gastrocnemius muslcs (kPa) before and after treatment.Statistical analysis was done.Results The EMean and EMax values of ipsilateral tension in gastrocnemius muscle before treatment were (11.28±2.60)kPa and (15.26±2.63)kPa,lower than those of contralateral (EMean:[16.284-5.25]kPa,EMax:[21.13±6.62]kPa;t=78.241,64.634,both P＜0.001).The EMean and EMax values of ipsilateral tension in gastrocnemius muscle after treatment were (13.18±2.38)kPa and (17.63± 2.73)kPa,higher than those before treatment (t=6.407,14.815,both P＜0.001).In different strength condition,EMean and EMax of gastrocnemius muscle before and after treatment were statistically significant (all P＜0.001).With the myodynamia increasing,EMean and EMax also increased before and after treatment.The differences between patients with any two different myodynamia were statistically different (all P＜0.05).Conclusion The muscle tissue recovery can be evaluated quantitatively by detecting EMean and EMax of tense gastrocnemius in patients with lumbar disc herniation using real-time shear wave elastography before and after treatment.
