A prospective study on the safety and efficacy of excimer laser coronary angioplasty for the treatment of degenerated great saphenous vein graft / 中华心血管病杂志

Objective: To explore the safety and efficacy of excimer laser coronary angioplasty (ELCA) for the treatment of degenerated great saphenous vein graft (SVG). Methods: This is a single-center, prospective, single-arm study. Patients, who were admitted to the Geriatric Cardiovascular Center of Beijing Anzhen Hospital from January 2022 to June 2022, were consecutively enrolled. Inclusion criteria were recurrent chest pain after coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG), and coronary angiography confirmed that the SVG stenosis was more than 70% but not completely occluded, and interventional treatment for SVG lesions was planned. Before balloon dilation and stent placement, ELCA was used to pretreat the lesions. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination was performed and postoperative index of microcirculation resistance (IMR) were assessed after stent implantation. The technique success rate and operation success rate were calculated. The technique success was defined as the successful passage of the ELCA system through the lesion. Operation success was defined as the successful placement of a stent at the lesion. The primary evaluation index of the study was IMR immediately after PCI. Secondary evaluation indexes included thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade, corrected TIMI frame count (cTFC), minimal stent area and stent expansion measured by OCT after PCI, and procedural complications (Ⅳa myocardial infarction, no reflow, perforation). Results: A total of 19 patients aged (66.0±5.6) years were enrolled, including 18 males (94.7%). The age of SVG was 8 (6, 11) years. The length of the lesions was greater than 20 mm, and they were all SVG body lesions. The median stenosis degree was 95% (80%, 99%), and the length of the implanted stent was (41.7±16.3)mm. The operation time was 119 (101, 166) minutes, and the cumulative dose was 2 089 (1 378, 3 011)mGy. The diameter of the laser catheter was 1.4 mm, the maximum energy was 60 mJ, and the maximum frequency was 40 Hz. The technique success and the operation success rate were both 100% (19/19). The IMR after stent implantation was 29.22±5.95. The TIMI flow grade of patients after ELCA and stent implantation was significantly improved (all P>0.05), and the TIMI flow grade of all patients after stent implantation was Grade Ⅲ. The cTFC decreased significantly after ELCA (33.2±7.8) and after stent placement (22.8±7.1) than preoperative level (49.7±13.0) (both P<0.001). The minimum stent area was (5.53±1.36)mm2, and the stent expansion rate was (90.0±4.3)%. Perforation, no reflow, type Ⅳa myocardial infarction and other complications were not observed. However, postoperative high-sensitivity troponin level was significantly increased ((67.937±33.839)ng/L vs. (5.316±3.105)ng/L, P<0.001). Conclusion: ELCA is safe and effective in the treatment of SVG lesions and could improve microcirculation and ensure full expansion of stent.

Application progress of microfluidic chip in isolation and capture of circulating tumor cells / 中华检验医学杂志

The amount of circulating tumor cells(CTC) in peripheral blood is very small, which is difficult to isolate. Microfluidic chips are becoming a hot area in recent years because of their portability, high sensitivity, high capture,and low cost. Microfluidic devices have been shown to maintain optimal performance for CTC isolation capture, including flux, purity, recovery, and clinical relevance. However, microfluidic technology is still unable to recover CTC with high recovery and purity.

Assessment of lymphocytic function in vitro stimulated by specific tumor polypeptide combined with dendritic cells / 北京大学学报(医学版)

OBJECTIVE@#To assess the activation function of specific tumor polypeptide for dendritic cell vaccine on lymphocytes proliferation, production of cytokines and killing activity in vitro by using dendritic cells as antigen presenting vector.@*METHODS@#Peripheral blood dendritic cells (DC) and cytokine-induced killer (CIK) were isolated and cultured by adherent culture method; CCK-8 method was used to assess the proliferation function of lymphocytes and the killing function of lymphocytes to tumor cells; enzyme-linked immunospot assay method was used to evaluate the secretion function of cytokines. The experiment was divided into tumor polypeptide group (peptide with DC-CIK), DC-CIK group and CIK group.@*RESULTS@#With presence of interleukin-2 (IL-2) in the culture system, the lymphocyte proliferation of the three groups was obvious. The absorbance at 450 nm of tumor polypeptide group was significantly higher than that of CIK group at the time points day 4 and day 6 (day 4: Z=-3.79, P < 0.001; day 6: Z =-2.95, P < 0.01). The absorbance at 450 nm of group tumor polypeptide was significantly higher than that of DC-CIK group on day 4 (Z=-2.02, P < 0.05). Without IL-2 in the culture system, lymphocytes proliferated slowly in all the three groups, and there was no significant difference in 450 nm absorbance at each time point. The levels of IL-4 (Z=-2.61, P < 0.01), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulation factor (GM-CSF, Z=-3.85, P < 0.001), interferon- γ (IFN- γ, Z=-3.56, P < 0.001) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-ɑ, Z=-3.40, P < 0.001) of tumor polypeptide group were higher than those of CIK group. There was no significant difference in the production of cytokines except IL-4 (Z=-2.15, P < 0.05) when tumor polypeptide group was compared with DC-CIK group. The production of IFN-γ (Z=-2.44, P < 0.05), TNF-ɑ (Z=-2.26, P < 0.05) and GM-CSF (Z=-3.73, P < 0.001) in DC-CIK group were higher than those of CIK group. Although there was no significant difference in killing activity between tumor polypeptide group, DC-CIK group and CIK group at hour 18 and hour 24, and the killing activity of tumor polypeptide group was higher than that of the other two groups.@*CONCLUSION@#Tumor peptide combined with dendritic cells can improve the proliferation activity of CIK cells in vitro, and increase the secretion of several cytokines.

Objective To compare the postoperative analgesic effect between serratus plane block and thoracic paravertebral block in patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery.Methods Sixty patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery, 38 males and 22 females, aged 18-65, BMI 18-25 kg/m2, falling into ASA physical status I or II.They were divided into groups S and T by random number table, 30 cases in each group.Two groups of patients were treated with general anesthesia with endobronchial intubation and PCIA after operation.Group S performed Ultrasound-guided serratus plane block and group T performed thoracic paravertebral block, 0.4％ropivacaine 30 ml were used in the two groups.The two groups of patients were observed 30 min after block, and the sensory block plane was measured with acupuncture and recorded.Recording operation time, onset time and duration of the block.Resting and cough VAS score were recorded at 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, and 48 hafter surgery.The first pressing time of the analgesic pump and times of press analgesic pump, the amount of sufentanil used and times the number of cases of useing piperidine were recorded within 48 hafter operation.Block related complications and analgesic related adverse reactions were recorded.Results Compared with group T, the operation time of the block obviously shortening but the duration obviously lengthening (P<0.01).Resting and cough VAS score at 12 hafter surgery significantly was lower (P<0.01).The first pressing time of the analgesic pump obviously lengthening, the number of press analgesic pump and the amount of sufentanil used significantly were reduced (P<0.01) in group S.Conclusion Ultrasound guided SP block and TPVB block can provide good postoperative analgesia for patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery, but SP block is more durable, with less operation time and complications than TPVB block, and can effectively reduce the opioid demand and incidence of nausea and vomiting after operation.

Effect of serum concentrations on differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells into adipocytes / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND: Serum concentrations in culture medium influence the proliferation and differentiation of stem cells. OBJECTIVE: To study the proliferation and adipogenic differentiation potential of adipose-derived stem cells under culture with different concentrations of fetal bovine serum. METHODS: The mouse adipose-derived stem cells were harvested from subcutaneous adipose tissue of C57 mice at 7-10 days of age. Concentrations of fetal bovine serum in the culture medium were set to 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%. The passage 3 cells were used for subsequent studies. The proliferation of cells cultured with different serum concentrations was tested using the cell counting kit-8 assay. The adipogenic differentiation potential of cells was evaluated with Bodipy staining. Quantitative RT-PCR and western blot assay were used to determine expression levels of Cebpa and Pparg mRNA as well as C/EBP-α and PPAR-γ protein levels. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There was no statistical difference in the cell proliferation among cells cultured with different serum concentrations, even though adipose-derived stem cells cultured with 20% fetal bovine serum showed lower absorbance value at 450 nm than those cultured with 5%, 10% and 15% fetal bovine serum. The expression levels of Cebpa and Pparg mRNA and C/EBP-α and PPAR-γ protein in the 5% and 10% groups were considerably higher than those of the 15% and 20% groups, and the expression levels were highest in the 10% group. To conclude, different concentrations of fetal bovine serum have no significant effects on the proliferation of adipose-derived stem cells, while the adipogenic differentiation potentials of cells are different when cultured with different serum concentrations. High serum concentration can inhibit the adipogenic differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells.

Vitreous cryopreservation and thawing of adipose-derived stem cells/demineralized bone matrix / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND: Short-term (1 week) vitreous cryopreservation avoiding the formation of ice crystals has been achieved in preserving tissue-engineered bone composed of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs)/demineralized bone matrix (DBM) compound through adjusting particular composition of cryopreservation fluid. However, whether vitreous cryopreservation can be utilized to cryopreserve tissue-engineered bone for long term (12 weeks) and maintain cellular viability and osteogenic function after rewarming remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of vitreous cryopreservation on viability and osteogenic function of ADSCs for short-term (1 week) and long-term (12 weeks) cryopreservation. METHODS: ADSCs were isolated from New Zealand rabbits and expended to passage 3. Cells at passage 3 were seeded onto DBM derived from porcine trabecular bone and followed by 1 week osteogenic induction. The tissue-engineered bone was transferred to freezing vials of 2 mL containing vitreous cryopreservation fluid and then directly quenched into liquid nitrogen. The composition of cryopreservation fluid was 30% dimethyl sulfoxide, 70% low glucose-Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium (L-DMEM), 0.8 mol/L trehalose. Following vitrification for 1 week or 12 weeks, the composite of ADSCs/DBM was removed and thawed. After rewarming, ADSCs viability were viewed under confocal laser microscope by staining viable cells with the green fluorescent dye Calcein AM and the red fluorescent dye Propidium iodide at days 1, 3, 7, 11 and 13. The number of cells seeded onto the DBM was assayed by Hochest33258 at days 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13. Meanwhile, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was also assayed by PNP microplate method at days 1, 4, 7, 10, 14 and 21. Osteogenic gene expression including Runx2, OCN, ALP, COL-1 was detected by real- time PCR at days 1, 4, 7, 10, 14 and 21. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After cryopreservation of 1 week or 12 weeks, it was found that more red-staining live cells was observed at 1 day post-rewarming by live/dead double staining, and the green-staining live cells increased at 3 days. By Hoechst 33258 assay, it was found that the cell number decreased at 1 and 3 days post-rewarming, compared with pre-cryopreservation. However, a constant increase in the cell number was observed beginning at 3 days, reaching the pre-cryopreservation level at 5 days post-rewarming. By PNP microplate method, it was found that ALP activity reduced at 1 and 4days post-rewarming, but compared with the level of pre-cryopreservation there were no significant difference. However, a constant increase in ALP activity was detected since 4 days. By real-time PCR, osteogenic gene expression including Runx2, OCN, ALP, COL-1 reduced at days 1 and 4, but compared with the level of pre-cryopreservation there was no significant difference. However, a constant increase in the osteogenic gene expression was since 4 days. The cell viability and osteogenic function were observed without significant difference at each time point after rewarming of cells that had undergone vitreous cryopreservation for 1 or 12 weeks. Preliminary findings indicate that vitreous cryopreservation can maintain cellular viability and osteogenic function of tissue-engineered bone. Cryopreservation time (1 and 12 weeks) has no significant effect on the cell viability and osteogenic function of the tissue-engineered bone after rewarming.

Objective To investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine combined with sufentanil on postoper-ative analgesia in patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy. Methods Sixty patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy were randomly divided into the dexmedetomidine group(DS group)and the control group(S group). The two groups were treated with PCIA.The Group DS:dexmedetomidine 2 μg/kg+sufentanil 1.5 μg/kg+ondan-setron 8 mg;and the group S:sufentanil 2 μg/kg+ondansetron 8 mg,in which all drugs were dissolved in 100 mL 0.9 normal saline. Parameters:loading dose 2 mL;infusion speed 2 mL/h;PCA dosage 2 mL each time;lock time:15 min. The mean arterial pressure(MAP),heart rate(HR),resting(VASR)and cough(VASC)VAS score,and Ramsay sedation score were recorded at 2,6,12,24,36 and 48 h after surgery.The number of press analgesic pump,the amount of sufentanil used,the incidence of adverse reactions such as,the nausea and vomit-ing,respiratory depression,bradycardia and so on were recorded within 48 h after operation. Results Compared with the group S,the MAP and HR of patients in the group DS decreased significantly at each time(P < 0.05), the scores of VASR and VASC decreased obviously at 6,12,24 h after surgery(P<0.05),the number of press analgesic pump,the amount of sufentanil used,the incidence of nausea and vomiting decreased obviously within 48 h after operation(P<0.05).Conclusions Dexmedetomidine combined sufentanil administration in PCIA after thoracoscopic lobectomy can obtain satisfactory analgesic effect and more stable hemodynamics,and reduce the dosage of sufentanil,the incidence of nausea and vomiting.

Effect of levobupivacaine on magnesium sulfate combined with ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block on postoperative analgesia in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction / 临床麻醉学杂志

Objective To investigate the effect of the compound administration of levobupiva-caine and magnesium sulfate in ultrasonography-guided femoral block on postoperative analgesia of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.Methods A total of 107 patients,66 males and 41 females, aged 25-60 years,ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,undergoing arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)reconstruction,were randomly divided into magnesium sulfate group (n = 56 )and control group (n = 51 ).Both groups were treated with ultrasound-guided ipsilateral femoral nerve block before anesthesia induction.The patients in the magnesium sulfate group were treated with 0.25%levobupivacaine and 2% magnesium sulfate mixture 20 ml,and the control group was treated with 0.25% levobupivacaine 20 ml.The blocking of sensation and movement of femoral nerve was recor-ded.The VAS scores of resting and exercise were recorded at 4,6,12,24 and 48 h after operation. The additional analgesics,tramadol dosage,satisfaction score at postoperative 48 h,incidence of nau-sea and vomiting and other adverse reactions at 48 h after surgery were recorded.Results At postop-erative 12 h,VAS score was significantly lower in the magnesium sulfate group than that in the con-trol group (P <0.05).There were 5 cases (8.9%)needing additional analgesics in the magnesium sulfate group,significantly lower than 10 cases (19.6%)in the control group (P <0.05).The tram-adol dosage of magnesium sulfate group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P <0.05).The duration and onset time of sensation and movement block and Likert satisfaction score in the magnesium sulfate group were significantly superior to that of control group (P <0.05).The inci-dence of adverse reactions between the two groups were not statistically different.Conclusion The combined applications of levobupivacaine and magnesium sulfate in ultrasound-guided ipsilateral femo-ral nerve block could shorten the onset time and prolong the duration of blocking,improve the post-operative analgesic effect and patients' satisfaction, reduce the dosage of analgesic drugs. Additionally,it dose not increase the incidence of adverse reactions.

Effect of hypobaric hypoxia and cold exposure on formation of brown adipose tissue in mice / 中国比较医学杂志

Objective To investigate the effect of hypobaric hypoxia and cold exposure on brown adipose tissue in mice. Methods Twenty-four 6-week old SPF C57BL/6 male mice were randomly divided into 4 groups with 6 mice in each group: normal atmospheric pressure and temperature group ( 18~22℃, 20~60 m ) ( NTNP ) , low atmospheric pressure and normal temperature group ( 18~22℃, altitude of 5000 m ) ( NTLP ) , normal atmospheric pressure and cold exposure group(0~6℃, altitude of 20 ~60 m)(LTNP), low atmospheric pressure and cold exposure group(0 ~6℃, altitude of 5,000 m)(LTLP). The experimental period was 4 weeks. The body weight was measured at the beginning and end of the experiment. By the end of the four-week trial, the back and inguinal fat were dissected and observed by histology using HE staining. The expression of UCP-1 as the marker of brown adipose tissue in the back fat was detected by qPCR and western blot. Results The body weight gain of NTNP group was higher ( P< 0. 05 ) than the other three groups. Meanwhile, the color of the back and groin fat tissue of mice of LTNP and LTLP groups were darker, the blood supply in mice of these two groups was richer than the NTLP group. The volume of adipose tissue of NTNP group was higher than others. The histology showed that the back adipose cells of the mice were smaller and darker and full of multilocular lipid droplets, exhibiting a typical morphology of brown fat cells. Compared with the NTNP and NTLP groups, the mRNA and protein levels of UCP-1 were higher under cold exposure, while low atmospheric pressure had a tendency to reduce the mRNA expression of UCP-1. Conclusions The formation of brown fat is affected by the imitated conditions of low atmospheric pressure and cold exposure, and is more closely related to the decresed temperature.

The influence of attenuated plaque on perioperative period of percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with acute myocardial infarction / 介入放射学杂志

Objective To detect attenuated plaque by using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and to investigate the influence of attenuated plaque on perioperative period of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods Coronary angiography and IVUS were performed in 85 hospitalized patients with AMI, additional implantation of stent was employed when necessary. According to the presence or absence of attenuated plaque determined by IVUS, the patients were divided into attenuated plaque group(n=35) and non-attenuated plaque group(n=50). The perioperative IVUS findings, the blood flow classification after myocardial infarction thrombolysis (TIMI) and the postoperative peak value of creatine kinase MB (CK-MB) determined were compared between the two groups. Results Among the 85 AMI patients, attenuated plaque was detected in 35 (41.2%) and no attenuated plaque was found in 50(58.8%). No statistically significant differences in the age, sex and risk factors existed between the two groups (P>0.05). The proportion of having attenuated plaque in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) was obviously higher than that in patients with non-STEMI (P0.05), but after balloon dilatation the TIMI grade 0-2 in theattenuated plaque group was strikingly higher than that in the non-attenuated plaque group (P=0.003). After PCI, the proportion of patients with elevated CK-MB value and higher peak value in the attenuated plaque group was remarkably higher than those in the non-attenuated plaque group (P<0.01). Conclusion The results of this study indicate that attenuated plaque can increase the incidence of no-reflow and slow reflow after PCI, which is more often seen in STEMI patients. The attenuated plaque carries significantly high risk, and the presence of attenuated plaque is helpful in predicting, the elevated extent of CK-MB value after PCI.

Effects of collateral circulation on ventricular function of patients with ST-segment-elevation ;myocardial infarction treated with primary coronary intervention / 中国介入心脏病学杂志

Objective To determine whether the presence of coronary collateral lfow, as evidenced by angiography, has a beneifcial effect on left ventricular function in ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated by means of early percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods Between April 2012 to November 2013, 95 patients with STEMI treated with primary PCI successfully were analyzed. According to the Rentrop grade, these patients were divided into 2 groups:collateral circulation group (n=16) and non-collateral circulation group (n=79). The left ventricular function was evaluated within 24 hours after PCI and 30 days later. Results Comparison of 2 groups showed that collateral lfow was associated with better left ventricular ejection fraction within 24 hours and 30 days after PCI. And non-collateral lfwa was associated with more ventricular aneurysm formation. Conclusions The presence of angiographically detectable collaterals has a protective effect on left ventricular function in ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated by primary PCI.
