ABSTRACT

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>First generation drug-eluting stents (DES) were associated with a high incidence of late stent thrombosis (ST), mainly due to delayed healing and re-endothelization by the durable polymer coating. This study sought to assess the safety and efficacy of the Nano polymer-free sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) in the treatment of patients with de novo coronary artery lesions.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The Nano trial is the first randomized trial designed to compare the safety and efficacy of the Nano polymer-free SES and Partner durable-polymer SES (Lepu Medical Technology, Beijing, China) in the treatment of patients with de novo native coronary lesions. The primary endpoint was in-stent late lumen loss (LLL) at 9-month follow-up. The secondary endpoint was major adverse cardiac events (MACE), a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction or target lesion revascularization.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>A total of 291 patients (Nano group: n = 143, Partner group: n = 148) were enrolled in this trial from 19 Chinese centers. The Nano polymer-free SES was non-inferior to the Partner durable-polymer DES at the primary endpoint of 9 months (P < 0.001). The 9-month in-segment LLL of the polymer-free Nano SES was comparable to the Partner SES (0.34 ± 0.42) mm vs. (0.30 ± 0.48) mm, P = 0.21). The incidence of MACE in the Nano group were 7.6% compared to the Partner group of 5.9% (P = 0.75) at 2 years follow-up. The frequency of cardiac death and stent thrombosis was low for both Nano and Partner SES (0.8% vs. 0.7%, 0.8% vs. 1.5%, both P = 1.00).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>In this multicenter randomized Nano trial, the Nano polymer-free SES showed similar safety and efficacy compared with the Partner SES in the treatment of patients with de novo coronary artery lesions. Trials in patients with complex lesions and longer term follow-up are necessary to confirm the clinical performance of this novel Nano polymer-free SES.</p>

ABSTRACT

Objective To establish and evaluate unstable atherosclerotic plaque model in abdominal aorta induced by cold stress. Methods Sixty male New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into three groups:cold stress group fed with high fat diet and followed by balloon induced arterial wall injury of abdominal aorta at week 2 and exposed to cold (4℃) for 1 h per day except for the first postoperative week,balloon-injury group treated by high fat diet plus balloon-injury, control group fed a normal chow without any treatment. Pathological changes of atherosclerotic plaques among these groups were evaluated at 20 weeks. Meanwhile, serum concentrations of blood lipid,oxidized low density protein(ox-LDL),hypersensitive C-reaction protein (hs-CRP)and interleukin (IL)-8 were determined. Results There was no difference in blood lipid level between cold-stress and balloon-injury groups.Serum concentrations of ox-LDL[(56.1 +14.3)mg/L vs.(42.9± 13.8)mg/L],hs-CRP[(149.1+78.3)mg/L vs. (94.5±57.3)mg/L],IL-8 [(97.6±17.9)μg/L vs.(57.5±18.3)μg/L]and macrophage infiltration[(30.9±5.6)% vs,(18.7±4.8) %] were significantly higher in cold stress group than in balloon-injury group (t =2.78,6.91,14.94,6.88,all P<0.05). Higher angiogenesis rate of atherosclerotic plaque in cold-stress group (23/31,74.1%) was observed in comparison with group balloon-injury(5/25,20,0%)(x2=16.26,P<0.05). Conclusions Establishment of rabbit unstable atherosclerotic plaque model induced by cold stress in synergy with high fat diet and balloon-injury is feasible, which is superior to conventional method through high fat diet plus balloon-injury surgery.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effects of low frequency pulsed magnetic fields (LF-PMFs) on proliferation, the cell cycle, apoptosis, migration, cytoskeleton formation and nitric oxide (NO) secretion in cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (CMECs). Methods LF-PMFs with rectangular and triangular waveforms at 15 Hz were tested. The CMECs were randomly divided into a control group, 0.6 mT group, 1.2 mT group, 1.8 mT group and 2.4 mT group. Except for the control group, the CMECs were exposed to LF-PMFs 4 h/day for 5 days. Results After 5 days of intervention with rectangular wave LF-PMFs the proliferation of CMECs accelerated and NO secretion was enhanced significantly. The percentages of cells at ( S+G2 ) phase increased significantly, whereas apoptosis rates were significantly lower than in the control group. The migration of CMECs was facilitated, stress fibers increased and cytoskeleton components were reorganized. After 5 days of intervention with triangular wave LF-PMFs proliferation of CMECs accelerated and NO secretion was significantly enhanced. The percentages of cells at(S+G2)phase and migration increased, while apoptosis was inhibited. Cytoskeleton components were reorganized after exposure to 0.6 mT and 2.4 mT triangular waveform LF-PMFs. No significant change was detected with 1.2 mT and 1.8 mT triangular waveform LF-PMFs with regard to these variables. Conclusions The effects of LF-PMFs on proliferation, the cell cycle, apoptosis, migration, cytoskeleton formation and NO secretion function of CMECs were infiuenced by the waveform in addition to it's intensity and frequency.

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the role and the possible molecular mechanisms of natural anti-oxLDL IgM monoclonal antibody played and involved in pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Methods Natural anti-oxLDL IgM monoclonal antibody 3A6 was generated by using standard hybridoma production techniques. Influence of 3A6 on formation of foam cells was observed by Oil Red O staining and affinity of Na125I-conjugated oxLDL on the naive and LPS-activated macrophages. After LPS stimulation on macrophages, anti-TLR4 neutralizing mAb, p38MAPK specific inhibitor SB203580, NF-kB specific inhibitor PDTC or RNAi targeting Fcα/μ receptor (Fcamr) were applied, respectively. Results Natural anti-oxLDL IgM monoclonal antibody 3 A6 were found specifically inhibit the binding of CuoxLDL to naive macrophages but not the binding of CuoxLDL to LPS-activated macrophages. It also promoted the formation of CuoxLDL-mediated foam macrophages. 3A6 F(ab')2 or pre-incubation with un-related IgM inhibited the binding of 3A6/CuoxLDL complex to LPS-activated macrophages. LPS up-regulated the expression of Fcamr in macrophages in a dose- and time-dependent manner, which was attenuated by treatment with anti-TLR4. LPS induced the phosphorylation of p38MAPK and translocation of NF-kB p65, contributing to the up-regulated expression of Fcα/μ receptor in macrophages. Conclusions Natural anti-oxLDL IgM monoclonal antibody 3A6 specifically inhibited the binding of CuoxLDL to naive macrophages in vitro. However, LPS, through the Toll-like receptor (TLR)4 receptor, activated the p38MAPK and NF-kB pathways and up-regulated the expression of Fcα/μ receptor in macrophages, which promoted the binding of 3A6/CuoxLDL complex to macrophages through binding with Fc fragments and the formation of foam macrophages. Therefore, our findings provide a new explanation why bacterial infection deteriorates the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effects of constant magnetic field (CMF) on proliferation, apopto-sis and nitric oxide (NO) secretion of rat bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) intervened by C-reactive protein (CRP). Methods EPCs were isolated from rat bone marrow by density gradient centrifugation and cultured on fibronectin-coated dishes. The cells were divided into five groups, i. e., control group, CRP (12 μg/ml) group, CRP plus CMF (0.1, 0. 5, 1.0 mT) groups. Samples were collected 24 hours after incubation. Cell proliferation was measured by MTT chromatometry. Apoptosis rate was detected by flow-cytometry. NO content of culture medium was measured by nitrate reductase method. Results As compared with control group, cell prolifer-ation in CRP group reduced significantly (0. 265±0. 008 vs 0. 316±0. 011, P < 0.05), NO secretion also de-creased significantly [(22.7±4.5) μmol/L vs (37.6±3.8) μmol/L, P < 0.05], cell apoptosis rate elevated sig-nificantly [(10.8±0. 8) % vs (4.2±0.5)% ,P < 0.05]. Cell proliferation in CRP plus 0. 5 mT or 1.0 mT CMF group (0. 295±0. 009,0. 302±0. 010) were much more than those in CRP group (P<0.05), NO secretion contents [(28.3±4.9) μmol/L, (29.2±5.6) μmol/L]were also much more than those in CRP group (P < 0.05) , apopto-sis rate [(7.4±0.5)% ,(6.9±0.6)%]was significantly lower than that in CRP group (P <0.05). Conclusion CMF at intensity of 0.5 mT and 1.0 mT can antagonize the effects of CR, promote proliferation of EPCs and secretion of NO and inhibit apoptosis rate of EPCs.

ABSTRACT

@#Objective To observe the effect of 2450 MHz microwave on the white blood cells (WBC) and haematogenous of granulocytic series of mice.Methods The whole body of BALB/c mice were exposure to 2450 MHz power density (10 mW/cm2) microwave, and the mice were killed at different times after exposure, to determine the changes of spleen/body ratio, peripheral blood WBC, number of marrow nucleus cells, cell cycle and form ability of GM-CFU (granule and macrophage-clone forming unit).Results The number of peripheral blood WBC increased at first and then reduced with the exposure time prolonged. Number of marrow nucleus cells kept decreasing after microwave exposure, otherwise, form ability of GM-CFU of marrow cells increased. Exposure to 2450 MHz 10 mV/cm2microwave might speed up marrow nucleus cell passed from G1 period to G2 and S periods.Conclusion Low frequency of 2450 MHz microwave exposure has significant stimulate function on granule cell system, but with the time prolong, number of nucleus cells decreased.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Vascular smooth muscle cell(VSMC) is one of the major cell components of vascular wall and its pathologic effects in atherosclerosis has been verified and recognized. How to inhibit VSMC proliferation and migration becomes one of the hotspots in the researches regarding the prevention of coronary heart disease(CHD).OBJECTIVE: To observe the impacts of diethyl-2, 6-diethyl-4-furny-1,4-dihydropyridine-3, 5-dicarboxylate(EFDP) on angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ)-induced VSMC proliferation.DESIGN: A randomized controlled study based on VSMC of rabbit' s thoracic aorta cultured in vitro.SETTING: Department of cardiology in a military medical university of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: The study was conducted in the Laboratory of Cardiology of Xijing Hospital of the Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA between August 2003 and June 2004. Five New Zealand rabbits were selected for the harvest of VSMC. Animal cells were randomly divided into control group, Ang Ⅱ group and Ang Ⅱ + EFDP group(EFDP group).METHODS: New Zealand rabbits were fed by high-fat food. Thoracic aorta was harvested for the separation and culture of VSMC after the injury in thoracic aorta intima by sacculus. The experiment introduced the cultured rabbit VSMC to observe the impacts of EFDP on VSMC DNA synthesis and its time effect during VSMC proliferation promoted by Ang Ⅱ by 3H-TdR method.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: 3H-TdR intensity of radio activity in cells of each group to display the DNA synthesis during VSMC proliferation process.RESULTS: Ang Ⅱ could promote the synthesis of rabbit VSMC DNA, which hit its peak at the 36th hour compared with that of control group(358. 00± 49.01 vs 272.42 ± 54.96, P < 0. 01 ) . EFDP had significant inhibitive effects on Ang Ⅱ-induced VSMC proliferation, which also displayed a significant dose-dependent relationship, i.e. with the elevation of EFDP concentration, its inhibitive rate on VSMC proliferation also gradually increased. At the 36th hour, 78.40 μ mol/L of EFDP had more significant effect than that of 0. 08 μmol/L of EFDP(281.50 ± 15.28 vs 349. 25 ±32.10, P< 0. 05).CONCLUSION: EFDP can significantly inhibit Ang Ⅱ-induced rabbit VSMC proliferation with certain dose-effect dependency and time responses,which provides a theoretical gist for the primary rehabilitative prevention of atherosclerosis.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To examine the inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) synthesis during ischemic preconditioning (IP) upon the induction of heat-shock protein 72 (HSP72) and the size-limiting effect of the second window of protection on infarction.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Rabbits were subjected to either 4 cycles of 5-min long coronary artery occlusion separated by 10 min of reperfusion, or a sham operation. During this procedure, we administered 10 mg/kg of N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, an inhibitor of NO synthase) intravenously 5 min before IP followed by its continuous infusion (1.5 mg/kg/min). Twenty-four hours after IP or the sham operation, the hearts were rapidly excised for assay of HSP72 expression or were subjected to 30 min of coronary artery occlusion followed by 120 min of reperfusion, at which point infarct size (IS) was measured.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Twenty-four hours after IP or the sham operation, there was no difference in heart rate or mean arterial pressure between the groups. Immunoblotting revealed an increase in HSP72 protein levels in the IP group, which was blocked by L-NAME. IS in the IP rabbits was reduced compared with controls (29.8 +/- 3.7% vs. 50.8 +/- 4.3%, P < 0.01). IS in the IP rabbits was elevated as a result of L-NAME treatment (46.0 +/- 5.1%). Administration of L-arginine reversed the effects of L-NAME on the induction of HSP72 and IS (33.5 +/- 4.0%). The intravenous administration of S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (an NO donor, 15 microg/kg/min) over 20 min increased the induction of HSP72 and reduced IS (31.3 +/- 5.7%, P < 0.01 vs. control) 24 h later.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>These findings suggest that NO may be involved in the induction of HSP72 and the opening of the second window of protection of IP.</p>

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the effects of Cypher~(TM) Stent on endothelium regeneration and platelet activation after angioplasty. Methods Six mongrel dogs were implanted Cypher~(TM) stent and Bx sonic stent in the same artery.The target vessels were ablated after angiography and observed by scanning electron microscope at one month and three months after implantation of stents respectively.Result At one month,target vessels of Cypher~(TM) stent were covered with endothelium partly and platelet activation was observed.Target vessels of Bx sonic stent were entirely covered with endothelium and platelet activation wasn't observed.Three months later,target vessels of Cypher~(TM) stent and Bx sonic stent were entirely covered with endothelium and there was no platelet activation on the vessel surface for both groups.Conclusion Endothelium regeneration after implantation of Cypher~(TM) stent was much slower than that of implantation of bare metallic stent,and at three months,the endothelialization was finished.Intensive anti-platelet therapy should be considered after implantation of Cypher~(TM) stent.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the functional features of resveratrol on vasodilatation of abdominal aorta in rat and its underlying mechanism. Methods Isolated aortic ring was perfused and the tension of the vessel was measured. Results Resveratrol showed a dose-dependent relaxant effect on rat aorta at 4?10 -9~4?10 -5mol/L. At the concentration of 4?10 -5mol/L, the effect was attenuated by (74.9?1.9)% in the endothelium removal group, and it was significantly different from the control group (P0.05). At the concentration of 7?10 -5mol/L, resveratrol showed an relaxant effect on de-endothelium vessels. Conclusion Resveratrol relaxes the aorta in both endothelium dependent and independent manner. In the endothelium-dependent manner, the mechanism of vasodilatation may be associated with NO system and KATP channel, while in the endothelium-independent manner effect of resveratrol might be a direct one.
