ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of salidroside (Sal) on myocardial fibrosis and pyroptosis and its potential mechanism. METHODS The mice were randomly divided into control group, model group and Sal low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups, with 10 mice in each group. Except for the control group, the mice in other groups were injected subcutaneously with isoproterenol 5 mg/(kg·d)to prepare the myocardial fibrosis model. Since modeling, mice in the Sal low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups were given 10, 30 and 50 mg/kg of Sal by intragastric administration every day; control group and model group were given 10 mL/kg of normal saline by intragastric administration every day, for 14 consecutive days. After the last medication, the mice were sacrificed; hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe pathological change of myocardial tissue and calculate the diameter of myocardial cell; Masson and Sirius Red staining were used to observe the degree of myocardial fibrosis in mice and calculate the collagen volume fraction (CVF); quantitative real-time PCR was performed to detect the mRNA expressions of collagen type Ⅰ (Col Ⅰ), α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), NOD-like receptor pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3), caspase-1 andgasdermin D (GSDMD) in myocardial tissues. The total protein expressions of Col Ⅰ, α-SMA, TLR4, NLRP3,caspase-1 and GSDMD in myocardial tissues and protein-positive cell score were measured by Western blot assay and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Compared with control group, the myocardial cells in the model group were enlarged, the arrangement of myocardial fibers was disordered, the matrix metabolism was significantly increased, the CVF in myocardial tissue was significantly increased, and the mRNA and protein expression levels of Col Ⅰ, α-SMA, TLR4, NLRP3, caspase-1 and GSDMD were elevated and protein-positive cell score was increased significantly (P<0.01). Compared with model group, the myocardial cell morphology was clearer, myocardial fibrosis was alleviated, and the levels of the above indicators in myocardial tissue of Sal medium-dose and high-dose groups had been reversed to varying degrees, especially in Sal high-dose group(P<0.05 or P<0.01). In addition, the Sal low-dose group also reversed some fibrosis and pyroptosis-related indicators to some extent. CONCLUSIONS Sal can significantly prevent the occurrence and development of myocardial fibrosis, and the mechanism of action may be related to the inhibition of TLR4-mediated pyroptosis pathway in myocardial tissue.

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the influence of left atrial dimension (LAD) on the effectiveness of heart valve replacement combined with dipolar radiofrequency ablation in atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods Eighty-one patients with permanent AF and heart valve diseases having undergone surgical treatment were selected. The patients were divided into two groups according to the size of LAD:groupⅠ (45 patients with LAD<60 mm) and group Ⅱ (36 patients with LAD ≥60 mm). All the patients underwent heart valve replacement and douching dipolar radiofrequency ablation, and were given amiodarone therapy after operation. The ultrasonic cardiogram and electrocardiogram after operation were inspected periodically. The changes of cardiac function and electrophysiology activity were observed. The patients were followed up for 12 months. Results The early-stage mortality after operation was 3.7% (3/81), and all of death was caused by postoperative low cardiac output syndrome. Two cases appeared third-degree atrioventricular block after surgery, and they were installed permanent pacemaker. During the follow-up, 1 case died because of sudden cerebrovascular accident. Two cases were loss to follow-up. There was no statistical difference in rate of maintaining sinus rhythm at discharge from hospital between group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ: 75.0% (33/44) vs. 73.5% (25/34), P=0.88. But the rates of maintaining sinus rhythm at 3 and 12 months after operation in groupⅠwere significantly higher than those in groupⅡ:81.4% (35/43) vs. 58.8% (20/34) and 88.1% 37/42) vs. 60.6% (20/33), and there were statistical differences ( P=0.029 and 0.006). Conclusions For the patients in permanent AF and heart valves diseases with LAD <60 mm, the dipolar radiofrequency ablation during heart valve replacement has considerably beneficial effects on rate of maintaining sinus rhythm. But for the patients with LAD≥60 mm, the result is not optimistic and has a lower postoperative sinus rhythm restoration rate.

ABSTRACT

Objective To summarize the results of valve re-operative cases after cardiac valve replacement, to find the better re-operative time, and to estimate the re-operative methods and influencing factors of the operation. Methods Thirteen valve re-operative cases after cardiac valve replacement from October 2008 to February 2010 were retrospectively studied. According to NYHA classification, 9 cases belonged to class Ⅳ, and only 4 cases belonged to class Ⅲ preoperatively. Mitral valve replacement (MVR)was performed in 7 cases, aortic valve replacement (AVR) in 3 cases, MVR + AVR in 3 cases. Results The early-stage postoperative mortality was 7.7%( 1/13),and the reason was low cardiac output syndrome. Two cases who underwent re-operation and re-intubation respectively after operation for hemorrhage were improved after treatment. Twelve cases were discharged in 3-6 weeks after heart valve surgery and all were followed up for 6-15 months. The cardiac function of all the discharged patients recovered well and no death occurred during follow-up. Conclusion The key factors to reduce the death of re-operation are improving preoperative heart function,setting up extracorporeal circulation as soon as possible,consummating myocardial preservation,perfecting operating skills,correcting low cardiac output syndrome in time and preventing complications.

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo investigate the myocardial protection on cardiac valve replacement surgery with creatine phosphate of myocardial GIK (GIK) in order to reduce the surgical risk and improving the efficacy.Methods126 cases were unergone surgical treatment of heart valve disease,whose cardiac function on admission wereⅢor Ⅳ. 126 patients were randomly divided into two groups. Cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic cross clamp time, postoperative myocardial injury markers ( CK-MB, cTNI) changes, arrhythmias, heart function recovery, length of stay and mortality rate and other indicators were compared between the two groups. ResultsThe age, gender, body mass,heart disease and surgery combined data were not statistically significant between the two groups( all P >0. 05). The cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic cross clamp time and mortality had no significant differences between the two groups( all P > 0.05 ). The CK-MB( 21.36± 9.21 ) U/L and cTNI(0.83 ± 0. 35 ) ng/ml of creatine phosphate group were significantly lower than those of the control group. The incidence of arrhythmia in phosphocreatine group (37. 1% ) was significantly lower than ordinary group (57.8 % ) ( X2 = 5. 418, P < 0. 05 ). ConclusionThe application of creatine phosphate GIK before valve replacement surgery could effectively reduce reperfusion injury after myocardial ischemia,myocardial protection,and significantly reduce the incidence of arrhythmia and improve heart function in patients.

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the clinical effects of intensive insulin therapy on postoperative infection, inflammatory response and prognosis in the non-diabetic patients of different ages undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Methods 60 cases of non-diabetic patients (>60) undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting with cardiopulmonary bypass between June 2005~June 2010 were selected and analyzed retrospectively. 60 patients were divided into 2 groups, the previous 24 cases were included in a routine treatment group and later 36 cases were included in the intensive therapy group. The blood sugar of intensive therapy group was strictly controlled starting from the anesthesia. The routine treatment group was controlled starting from backing to ICU according to blood glucose results. Patients were assigned to the routine therapy group with the blood glucose maintained at 10.0~11.1 mmol/L and the intensive therapy group received tight glycemic control with the target blood glucose maintained at 4.4~6.1 mmol/L. Postoperative infection, mechanical ventilation time, hospital stay and mortality indicators were compared between the 2 groups. Results There were no significant difference (P>0.05) in gender, body weight, disease diagnosis and combined surgical methods and surgical materials such as cardiopulmonary bypass time between the 2 groups. Neutrophil count[(12.6±2.8)×109/L vs (18.8±3.1)×109/L], blood infections, respiratory tract infection(6/36 vs 10/24) and wound infectionrates(2/36 vs 6/24) and other indicators of intensive of insulin therapy group were lower than the regular therapy group (P<0.05). The postoperative hospital stay of intensive therapy group[(12.2±3.7)d vs (15.6±5.4)d)] was statistically significant shorter compared with the conventional treatment group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in postoperative mortality between the 2 groups (P>0.05). Conclusions Intensive insulin therapy may significantly reduce postoperative infection rate in the old age patients, thus leading to an improved prognosis in the non-diabetic patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting with cardiopulmonary bypass.

ABSTRACT

Objective To review the strategies for multiple coronary artery bypass in patients with calcified ascending aorta.Methods From June 2002 to December 2007,36 patients with multiple coronary artery disease and calcified ascending aorta underwent OPCAB without aortic side-bite clamping.The patients(28 males and 8 females) aged from 60 to 83 years with a mean of(69.1?6.7) years.Fifteen of the patients had a history of stroke.Coronary angiogram revealed that 3 patients had double vessels disease and the others had triple vessels disease,involving the left main stem in 14 cases.The left ventricular ejection fraction ranged from 0.32-0.69.Calcified ascending aortic plaque can be explored in 30 of the patients during operation while intra-operative transesophageal echocardiography indicated calcified aorta only in 28.No-touch technique was used in 22 patients either with LIMA as the only inflow and the saphenous vein grafts was anastomosed to the LIMA in 15 patients,or with bilateral internal mammary arteries as the only inflows in 7 patients.Proximal anastomotic device was employed in 14 patients to finish the proximal anastomosis of greater saphenous vein grafts without aortic side-biting clamping.Intra-operative graft flow meter was used to check the flow of grafts before chest closure. Results Totally 116 cases of distal anastomosis were performed in the 36 patients(2-5 in each,mean 3.2?0.9).The patients woke up from anesthesia in 2 to 22 hours.Intraoperative measuring of graft flow revealed satisfying blood flow in all the grafts.In the 15 patients with LIMA as the only inflow,the total graft flow in the main stem of LIMA was basically the sum of each connected grafts.Only one patient died after surgery,showing a mortality rate of 2.7%.Eight patients(26.7%) had transient atrial fibrillation after the operation,2 showed pulmonary infection,4 had chest fluid,1 showed infection of the incision at the lower limb.All the complications were cured.30 patients achieved a 6-to 60-month follow-up with a mean of(33.8?11.2) months.During the period,11 patients(37 grafts) were examined by angiography,which showed that all the grafts of LIMA to LAD and vein grafts were patent,except in two vein grafts,which were occluded in the diagnol branches. Conclusions In patients with remarkable ascending aortic calcification,OPCAB combined with aorta no-touch technique or proximal anastomosis device can effectively decrease the incidence of postoperative stroke.

ABSTRACT

Hypothermia has been considered to be detrimental to myocardial protection. In order to evaluate warm blood cardioplegia effects, following CPB, 12 adult mongrel dogs were randomly allocated to be continuously perfused through aortic root with oxygenated warm blood cardioplegia (37 C) (group W, n=6)or cold blood cardioplegia (4C)(group C,n=6)indivadually. The coronary blood samples were taken before coronary perfusion(CP), 60mins and 90mins following CP,to measure the serum activities of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH),creatine phosphokinase (CPK)and glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT)and the level of malondialdehyde (MDA). As compared with those before CP,the activities of LDH and CPK increased significantly only at 90th min following CP in group W,and at 60th and 90th min during CP in group C(P0.05) but went up markedly in group C following CP(P0.05) but rose dramatically in group C (P
