ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the effects of regular aerobic exercise on brachial ankle pulse wave velocity(baPWV)in middle-aged and elderly people.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study.A total of 7993 subjects receiving health examination at the Taihu Sanatorium of Jiangsu Province were enrolled, including 4 371 males and 3 622 females, with an average age of 55.8 years(±7.9).Information on exercise, alcohol consumption, smoking, body mass index, baPWV, blood pressure, resting heart rate, fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol(TC), triglycerides(TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)and uric acid in all subjects were collected and recorded.Based on exercise habits, subjects were divided into the no exercise group(n=489), the occasional exercise group(n=3 222, exercise<3 times or<90 min per week)and regular exercise group(n=4 282, exercise 3-5 times or >90 min per week).Results:For male subjects, differences in baPWV between the no exercise group(1 747.37±346.07 cm/s), the occasional exercise group(1 486.77±195.15 cm/s)and the regular exercise group(1 449.77±219.50 cm/s)were statistically significant( P<0.05).For female subjects, difference in baPWV between the no exercise group(1865.05±120.19)cm/s, the occasional exercise group(1 593.18±332.51)cm/s and the regular exercise group(1 227.81±150.89)cm/s were also statistically significant( P<0.05).With increased time of exercise per week, the levels of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, resting heart rate, fasting blood glucose, TG and uric acid in different exercise groups decreased gradually for both men and women.Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that exercise, alcohol consumption, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and fasting blood glucose were independent risk factors for baPWV in men(all P<0.05)and that exercise, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, resting heart rate and fasting blood glucose were the independent risk factors for baPWV in women(all P<0.05).Trend analysis showed that with increased time of exercise per week, the rate of abnormal baPWV decreased gradually in both men and women( χ2 values were 74.67 and 1545.54, respectively, P<0.01). Conclusions:Regular aerobic exercise can improve baPWV, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, resting heart rate, fasting blood glucose, TG and uric acid in middle-aged and elderly people.Exercise is an independent influencing factor for baPWV in middle-aged and elderly people and exercise 3-5 times or more than 90 min per week is beneficial to cardiovascular health in middle-aged and elderly people.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the relationship of cardiovascular health behavior and factors with development of bone mass loss and postmenopausal osteoporosis in Suxichang area of Jiangsu province.Methods:In the across sectional study, a total of 2 423 postmenopausal women receiving health check-up from March 2019 to June 2020 in our hospital were enrolled.The seven variable factors included cardiovascular health behavior(body mass index, exercise, healthy diet and smoking state)and cardiovascular health-influencing factors(blood pressure, fasting blood glucose and total cholesterol). The information of the seven factors and bone mineral density were recorded.The seven factors were classified as ideal, average and poor, according to the level of bone mineral density.All individuals were divided into three groups: normal bone mass(n=1 305), osteopenia(n=290)and osteoporosis(n=828).Results:There were statistically significant differences in age, fasting blood glucose, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol and exercise between osteoporosis and normal bone mass group( P<0.05). As the number of ideal cardiovascular health behaviors and factors increased, the proportion of bone mass loss and osteoporosis gradually decreased( P<0.05). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that ageing, increased total cholesterol and fasting blood glucose levels were the independent risk factors of osteoporosis.The exercise and normal body mass index were the protective factors for osteoporosis.For each 1 unit increment in age, total cholesterol, body mass index and fasting blood glucose, the OR values for bone mineral density decrement by 1 grade were 1.17, 1.25, 0.92 and 1.23, respectively(all P<0.05). The OR value for bone mineral density decrement by 1 grade was 0.58( P<0.05)when exercise decreased by 1 grade. Conclusions:Postmenopausal women should positively control the levels of total cholesterol and fasting blood glucose, maintain reasonable body weight and conduct regular exercise, which are conductive to the prevention and treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the impact of lifestyle index (LSI) on serum uric acid levels in young and middle-aged men.Methods:This was a cross sectional study. A total of 8 067 subjects underwent check-up in Taihu Sanatorium of Jiangsu Province from March 2020 to June 2021 were enrolled, average age were(46.46±8.81) years. According to age, subjects were divided into young male group (18-44 years old, n=3 269) and middle-aged male group (45-60 years old, n=4 798). Height, weight, body mass index, alcohol drinking, smoking, diet, exercise, fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol(LDL-C), serum uric acid and other data in all cases were measured and recorded. Results:The serum uric acid level in allsubjects was (376.80±74.43)μmol/L and the prevalence of hyperuricemia was 25.7%.The serum uric acid level in the young male group was higher than that in the middle-aged male group [(381.86±74.32)μmol/L vs (373.34±74.32)μmol/L, P<0.001]. The prevalence of hyperuricemia in the young male group was higher than that in the middle-aged male group (27.4% vs 24.5%), and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001). With the improvement of LSI scores, the serum uric acid levels in young and middle-aged men showed a decreasing trend ( P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for age, fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL-C, LDL-C, hypertension, and diabetes, LSI was an independent factor for serum uric acid levels in young and middle-aged men. The risk of hyperuricemia in young and middle-aged male decreased ( OR 0.83 and 0.84, respectively, P<0.01) for every 1-point increase in LSI. Exercise and body mass index were independently associated with hyperuricemia in the young male group ( OR 0.83 and 0.54, respectively, P<0.05). Exercise, body mass index, and alcohol drinking were independently associated with hyperuricemia in the middle-aged male group ( OR 0.85, 0.51 and 0.65, respectively, P<0.05). Conclusion:LSI is an independent factor associated with hyperuricemia in young and middle-aged men and a healthy lifestyle has a protective effect on serum uric acid levels in young and middle-aged men.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the efficacy of arterial switch operation in infants with transposition of the great arteries and to explore the prognostic related factors.Methods:The clinical data of 381 children with transposition of the great arteries from October 2001 to December 2017 were collected, including anatomical diagnosis, age of surgery, preoperative status, coronary artery malformation, aortic arch disease, etc. The relevant factors of postoperative mortality and reintervention were analyzed.Results:The overall mortality rate is about 4.5%, and the reintervention rate is about 3.7%. The postoperative mortality of every 100 cases droped significantly ( P<0.05), early surgery did not increase the risk of surgical death, but the mortality rate in the emergency surgery group was higher than that in the non-emergency surgery group. The mortality in the combined coronary artery abnormality group was significantly higher than that in the normal coronary artery group. Patients with Taussig-Bing anomaly and abnormal aortic arch were significantly more likely to get worse outcomes than those without aortic arch abnormality. In the whole group, 14 patients were re-intervened due to pulmonary valve or supra-valvular stenosis, aortic arch constriction, left ventricular outflow obstruction, and new aortic valve regurgitation. One patient died after operation. There was no coronary reintervention in the middle and long-term follow-up. Conclusion:The clinical outcome of early diagnosis and treatment of transposition of great arteries was good, preoperative status affects the outcome of surgery, coronary artery malformation, Taussig-Bing combined with aortic arch abnormalities were associated with increased operative mortality.

ABSTRACT

Chronic heart failure (CHF), a clinical syndrome resulting from the consequences of various cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), is increasingly becoming a global cause of morbidity and mortality. We had earlier demonstrated that a 4-day forest bathing trip can provide an adjunctive therapeutic influence on patients with CHF. To further investigate the duration of the impact and the optimal frequency of forest bathing trips in patients with CHF, we recruited those subjects who had experienced the first forest bathing trip again after 4 weeks and randomly categorized them into two groups, namely, the urban control group (city) and the forest bathing group (forest). After a second 4-day forest bathing trip, we observed a steady decline in the brain natriuretic peptide levels, a biomarker of heart failure, and an attenuated inflammatory response as well as oxidative stress. Thus, this exploratory study demonstrated the additive benefits of twice forest bathing trips in elderly patients with CHF, which could further pave the way for analyzing the effects of such interventions in CVDs.

ABSTRACT

As the primary treatment of aortic valve stenosis in children, surgical aortic valvotomy (SAV) and balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) are widely used. With the similar early curative effect to BAV, SAV performs better in long-term follow-up. But the first choice for aortic valve stenosis is still controversial. These years, aortic valve repair is valued and different repair techniques have been reported and achieved good results. The complex repair techniques, as leaflet extension, leaflet replacement or valve reconstruction, are effective in treating diseased valves that cannot be repaired before. Ozaki technology, using glutaraldehyde-treated autologous pericardium to replace the aortic valve, makes the surgery more standardized and reproducible by developing special instruments. Pulmonary autograft (Ross procedure) is considered to be superior to other valve replacement technologies due to the good hemodynamic performance and lower reoperation rate. Mechanical valve is still used in some cases, but the quality of life is low due to the lifelong anticoagulation, and it has a high reintervention rate. The biological valve has been rarely used in children because of its high rate of early calcification and structural failure.

ABSTRACT

This study was designed to investigate the microRNA expression profile in human embryonic lung fibroblast 2BS cells upon salidroside (SAL) treatment, and predict the target genes of miRNAs and related pathways delaying cellular senescence. Samples were divided into three groups: young control (28 PD), old control (50 PD), and old+SAL (50 PD with SAL), RNA from three groups was used for miRNA microarray analysis. In late PD cells, 43 miRNAs were found significantly changed relatively to those in young cells, and 58 miRNAs were regulated by SAL. The miRNAs including hsa-let-7c, hsa-let-7e and hsa-mir-3620 were significantly down-regulated in late PD cells which could be reversed by SAL treatment. However, hsa-mir-411, hsa-mir-24-2-5p and hsa-mir-485-3p exhibited an opposite trend. Gene Ontology and Pathway analysis revealed that target genes were significantly enriched in 31 GO and 11 pathways. The microarray data was further validated with qRT-PCR. This research provides new clues regarding the underlying mechanisms of SAL on cellular senescence through miRNAs regulation.

ABSTRACT

Objective To establish a novel experimental model of New Zealand rabbit to assess the biocompatibility of 0.1 mm polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE),a novel material of pulmonary valve.Methods Forty-two adult New Zealand rabbits about 3 kg were selected to give 35 mg/kg ketamine and 0.25 mg/kg dexmedetomidine intramuscularly for the anesthesia.The chest was open to expose the upper segment.The surface of right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) was exposed after the pericardium was opened partially.The valve material (0.1 mm PTFE) was inserted into the right ventricle via the central mini-incision.Then the skin was closed and the rabbits were recoved with the oxygen inhalation.Results Forty-two adult New Zealand rabbits accepted the operation.Six rabbits died during the early period due to the inappropriate anesthesia drug (n =2),pneumothorax (n =1) and thrombosis (n =3),which occurred the 5th,7th and 8th postoperative day.The anticoagulation treatment was adjusted to solve the thrombosis problem.Thirty-six rabbits survived for several months with weight increase until the experiment was finished.Conclusions The experimental model of New Zealand rabbit is appropriate for the biocompatible assessment of 0.1 mm PTFE.The advantage is to avoid intubation and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and to decrease the pneumothorax.

ABSTRACT

Objective To synthesize 4 kinds of 111 In?TPP cations and evaluate their properties as tumor cationic radiotracers in vivo and in vitro. Methods DO3A?xy?TPP, DO3A?xy?mTPP, DO3A?xy?dmTPP and DO3A?xy?tmTPP were radiolabeled with 111 In;their lipid?water partition coefficients and in vivo and in vitro stability were evaluated. The binding affinities of 4 kinds of 111 In?radiotracers were determined in cell uptake and cell efflux assay using U87MG tumor cells. Biodistribution studies and γ imaging studies were performed using the athymic nude mice bearing U87MG human glioma xenografts to explore the biologi?cal properties of 4 kinds of 111 In?radiotracers. One?way analysis of variance was used. Results The labeling yields of 4 kinds of 111 In?radiotracers were all above 85%, and the radiochemical purity were all greater than 99% after purification. Binding assay in U87MG cells showed that 4 kinds of radiotracers had great binding affinity and cell retention ability, and 111In?DO3A?xy?mTPP had the best binding ratio (1?49%;F=177.8, P<0.05) . Gamma imaging and biodistribution results showed that the U87MG tumors could be clearly visualized by 111In?DO3A?xy?mTPP, 111In?DO3A?xy?dmTPP and 111In?DO3A?xy?tmTPP, and the liver uptake of the 3 tracers was lower than that of 111In?DO3A?xy?TPP. In particular, 111In?DO3A?xy?mTPP had the best tumor/liver ratio (0.13±0.05, 2 h postinjection;F=9.4, P<0?05). Conclusions The tumor?targeted ability of 111In?DO3A?xy?mTPP is better than those of 111In?DO3A?xy?dmTPP, 111In?DO3A?xy?tmTPP and 111In?DO3A?xy?TPP, suggesting that it has the potential to be a promising tumor cationic radiotracer.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#Undiagnosed critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) was assessed before discharge from maternity hospital.Basic information was provided for screening CCHD in the early neonatal stage.Chi-squared test was used for comparison of categorical variables(detection rate of different types of CCHD).@*Method@#A retrospective cohort study was conducted in neonates with CCHD who were admitted to Children′s Hospital of Fudan University between 1 January 2012 and 31 December 2015. For comparing with the previously reported undiagnosed rate of CCHD at discharge, CCHD was defined as all duct dependent congenital heart disease (DDCHD) and any cyanotic CHD that required early surgery.@*Result@#A total of 1 036 infants with CCHD were included. The prenatal detection rate of CCHD was 14.04%(122/869). As a whole, 52.51% (544/1 036) of CCHD cases were undiagnosed at discharge, and 14.09%(146/1 036)were still missed after 6-week examination. The diagnoses most likely to be unrecognized at discharge included critical coarctation of the aorta (COA) (75.00%), total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (61.54%), pulmonary atresia (PA) with ventricle septal defect (VSD) (61.45%), single ventricle (SV) (60.10%) and critical aortic stenosis (52.94%). Among newborns diagnosed prior to discharge, 54.88% (270/492) due to symptom or prenatal ultrasonographic diagnosis, 45.12% (222/492) due to abnormal findings in routine examination. Among asymptomatic CCHD cases without prenatal diagnosis, 71.02% (544/766) were undiagnosed and the most common delayed diagnosis was SV (82.78%), interrupted aortic arch (81.82%), transposition of the great arteries with intact ventricular septum (79.63%), PA/VSD (79.07%), and critical COA (78.57%). Newborns with DDC were more likely to develop symptoms within the first few days after birth, in comparison with non-DDC cases. However, their detection rates were close to each other.@*Conclusion@#The rate of misdiagnosis of CCHD before discharge from maternity hospitals is high in China, indicates the importance of implementation of CCHD screening in Chinese maternity hospitals, so as to give timely diagnosis and proper treatment.

ABSTRACT

Objective To establish a quantitative analysis method for determining 99mTc-HYNIC-PEG4-E[PEG4-c(RGDfK)]2 (99mTc-3PRGD2,a radioactive tumor agent)byγcounter, and to investigate the distribution of 99mTc-3PRGD2 in mice bearing with lung carcinoma xenograft. Methods The mice were divided into 4 normal groups and one blocking peptide group(control group). The 99mTc-3PRGD2(8μg/kg)was injected to mice bearing with lung carcinoma xenograft through the tail intravenous administration. Tissues of the normal mice were taken at 0.5,1,2 and 4 h. The control group were treated by 3PRGD2 and 99mTc-3PRGD2. The control mice were injected with the 3PRGD2 saline solution(2.5 mg/ml,0.2 ml)at 0.5 h earlier before the injection of 99mTc-3PRGD2. The tu?mor and organ tissues of the control mice were taken at 2 h. The radioactivity was detected by Gamma Counter. Results The radioac?tivity of 99mTc-3PRGD2 detected was high in the tumor and very low in brain. In addition,high radioactivity in kidneys and bladder sug?gested that the drug excreted by renal. Conclusion The results proved that the blocking peptide can competitively inhibit the combi?nation of 99mTc-3PRGD2 and integrinαvβ3 receptors.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare but potentially life-threatening congenital heart defect. A retrospective analysis was carried out to elucidate the surgical outcomes of ALCAPA in infants and children using follow-up echocardiography.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From September 2008 to March 2017, 26 children diagnosed with ALCAPA underwent left coronary re-implantation. All surviving patients received echocardiography during follow-up.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The mortality rate after the operation was 11.5%. Before repair, twenty patients (76.9%) presented with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. The mean Z-score of the preoperative LV end-diastolic diameter was 4.42 ± 2.09. Mitral regurgitation (MR) was present in all patients. Two patients (7.7%), both with mitral valve prolapse, underwent mitral valve repair at the time of ALCAPA repair. Two children required postoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. LV function normalized at a median time of 5.3 months (range: 0.5-36.0 months). The Z-score of the LV end-diastolic diameter decreased simultaneously. The degree of MR gradually decreased in all surviving patients. All patients had patency of the proximal left coronary artery confirmed by echocardiography at the most recent follow-up. Six patients (26.1%) showed supravalvar pulmonary stenosis and seven patients (30.4%) showed right pulmonary stenosis during follow-up.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Coronary re-implantation was effective for rebuilding a dual coronary system in patients with ALCAPA and resulted in progressive improved LV function and reduced functional MR. Echocardiography was valuable for evaluating the outcomes. LV function, the degree of MR, and possible complications could be detected with follow-up echocardiography.</p>

Objective Reviewing the surgical outcome of neonates with critical congenital heart diseases(CHD) in the past five years,to summarize the experiences of the treatment for neonates with critical CHD .Methods From Jan.2009 to Dec.2013,521 neonates with critical CHD were admited,all of them were received surgical treatment.Age ranged from 1day to 28 days, mean(21 ±6) days;weights ranged from 2.1 kg to 3.6 kg, mean(2.8 ±0.5)kg.All the children were received op-eration,and cared in cardiac intensive care unit(CCU) postoperatively.Results 22 cases died after surgery,the hospital mor-tality was 4.2%.68 children were left sternal open after the primary repair;39 children inhaled nitric oxide(NO) for the post-operative pulmonary hypertension;22 children needed peritoneal dialysis for acute renal failure;3 children used extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO) as circulatory support.Follow-up found 18 cases(12.1%) of TGA occurred supravalvular pul-monary stenosis after the arterial switch operation;12 cases(11.0%) of CoA/VSD&IAA/VSD had recoarctation after the aortic arch reconstruction;7 cases(5.6%) of TAPVD occurred postoperative pulmonary venous obstruction.Conclusion Early in-tervention of neonates with critical CHD has achieved excellent results.The time of operation, surgical techniques, cardiopul-monary bypass techniques and perioperative management are key factors to improve the outcome of critical CHD .

ABSTRACT

Forest bathing trip is a short, leisurely visit to forest. In this study we determined the health effects of forest bathing trip on elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The patients were randomly divided into two groups. One group was sent to forest, and the other was sent to an urban area as control. Flow cytometry, ELISA, and profile of mood states (POMS) evaluation were performed. In the forest group, we found a significant decrease of perforin and granzyme B expressions, accompanied by decreased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and stress hormones. Meanwhile, the scores in the negative subscales of POMS decreased after forest bathing trip. These results indicate that forest bathing trip has health effect on elderly COPD patients by reducing inflammation and stress level.

ABSTRACT

Objective To compare the efficacy of inhaled Iloprost and nitric oxide( NO)in infants with moderate or severe pulmonary hypertension(PH)after congenital heart disease surgery. Methods This was a prospec-tive randomized study in Children's Hospital of Fudan University from January 2011 to January 2014,including 40 in-fants who suffered from moderate to severe PH after heart surgery. Their ages ranged from 1 to 24 months. Their weight ranged from 3. 2 to 11. 0 kg. They were randomly allocated to inhale NO( NO group,n = 20)or Iloprost( Iloprost group,n = 20). Iloprost group was given Iloprost with 50 ng/(kg·min)for 10 min and then combined with NO 20 × 10 - 6 for 10 min;NO group was first given 20 × 10 - 6 of NO for 10 min,then combined with Iloprost 50 ng/(kg·min) for 10 min. Heart rate,systolic blood pressure,pulmonary artery pressure(PAP)and central venous pressure were recor-ded continuously. At the same time,the concentration of nitrogen dioxide and methemoglobin after inhaling NO was de-tected. Results Inhaled Iloprost and NO caused significant reduction in PAP(t = 4. 670,P = 0. 009;t = 3. 762,P =0. 004)and pulmonary - to - systemic pressure ratio(Pp/ Ps)(t = 16. 974,P = 0. 000;t = 9. 682,P = 0. 000)but signifi-cant increase in oxygen index separately. The combination had no additional effect compared with single application. In term of the reduction of PAP,there was no significant difference between inhaled Iloprost and NO(F = 2. 742,P =0. 129). The levels of nitrogen dioxide and methemoglobin were not above the normal limits. Conclusions Moderate to severe PH after cardiac surgery was significantly reduced by inhaled NO and Iloprost. They had similar effects. However, the combination of both vasodilators failed to prove more potent than either substance alone. Compared with the potential toxicity of NO,the individual differences and the complex transmission,Iloprost may be more reasonable and feasible for the postoperative treatment of PH.
