ABSTRACT
Objective: To explore the protective mechanism of resvertrol (RSV) suppressing the rapid electrical stimulation incurred oxidative stress injury in neonatal rats cardiomyocytes. Methods: The neonatal rats cardiac ifbroblasts and myocytes were isolated by double enzyme digestion and differential adhesion method, and the cardiomyocytes were randomly divided into 5 groups:①Control (CTR) group,②Rapid electrical stimulation (RES) group,③RES+APO group, cells were pretreated with NADPH oxidase inhibitor APO,④RES+RSV group,⑤RES+AIP group, cells were pretreated with CaMKII inhibitor AIP. In order to conifrm whether RSV protection was via MsrA-OX-CaMKⅡpathway, the cells were further divided into another 3 groups:①DMSO control group,②RSV+DMSO group,③RES+ RSV+DMSO group. The best dose of RSV was measured with Kit-8 by cardiomyocytes surviving condition, the optimal electrical stimulation time was detected with ELISA by Ang II level in conditioned medium. The level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cardiomyocytes was detected by flow cytometry, the protein expressions of MsrA, Nox4, Nox2, P22phox, OX-CaMK II and apoptosis related cleaved caspase-3 were observed by Western blot analysis.Results:①Compared with CTR group, RES group showed increased AngII secretion with increased protein expressions of Nox4, Nox2, P22phox, OX-CaMK II and cleaved caspase-3.②Compared with RES group, the RES+APO, RES+RSV, RES+AIP groups had decreased ROS level, the ROS was even lower in RES+RSV group.③Compared with RES group, the RES+APO, RES+RSV groups presented decreased protein expressions of Nox4, Nox2, P22phox, OX-CaMK II and cleaved caspase-3, while RES+AIP group only had decreased Nox2, OX-CaMK II and cleaved caspase-3.④Compared with DMSO control group, RES+ RSV+DMSO group had the lower level of cleaved caspase-3 expression. Conclusion: RSV has protective effect on rapid electrical stimulation incurred oxidative stress injury in neonatal rats cardiomyocytes, which might be via NADPH oxidase with the increased MsrA expression .
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate value of multi-indexes of real-time myocardial contrast echocardiography (RT-MCE) for the detection of coronary artery disease(CAD). Methods A total of 35 patients scheduled for coronary angiography underwent RT-MCE, and were undergone gated single photon emission computed tomography(gated-SPECT) after RT-MCE shortly. Coronary angiography was performed within one week of RT-MCE in all patients. All patients were divided CAD and no-CAD group. The observing indexes included: (1)The images of RT-MCE were analyzed quantitatively from microbubble replenishment curves for myocardial perfusion by using the Qlab software; A,β and A×β were compared between two groups. The sensitivity and specificity of RT-MCE for detection of CAD were performance by ROC curves Gensini score were calculated in 22 patients. Then the correlation analysis was used for comparing the value of A,β and A×β with Gensini score. (2) The sensitivity and specificity of gated-SPECT and RT-MCE for assessment of CAD were calculated by 4 score method. (3) RT-MCE for the detection of coronary artery stenosis with multi-indexes. Results (1) A,β and A×β were significant difference between two groups. The cutoff of A,β and A×β was 4. 58,0. 64 and 2. 73,then the sensitivity and specificity of RT-MCE for detection of CAD were 86. 0% , 80. 2% , 88. 9% and 84.1 % , 64. 6% , 79. 9 % , respectively. The correlation index was - 0. 79, - 0. 51 and - 0. 76 comparing the results of A, β and A ×β with Gensini. (2) The sensitivity and specificity of gated-SPECT for assessment of CAD were 84. 8 % and 82. 7% ,respectively. (3) The sensitivity of multi-indexes RT-MCE increased, the sensitivity was 89. l%,90. 4% and 96.3% when combinated A and β,A and A×β,and β and A×β, respectively. Conclusions RT-MCE with multi-indexes has a valuable application for assessment of CAD. The severity of CAD could be evaluated by RT-MCE.
