ABSTRACT

Objectives: To explore the efficacy and safety of emergency transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Methods: Data of patients who underwent emergency TAVR in eight centers, namely Fuwai Hospital, Wuhan Asia Heart Hospital, Xijing Hospital, Union Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital, Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, between May 2017 and December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The use of mechanical circulatory support system (MCS) and the results of laboratory tests (N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP)) and echocardiography (mean aortic valve cross valve pressure difference and left ventricular ejection fraction) before and after operation were collected. The primary endpoint was all-cause death, and the secondary endpoints were stroke, major bleeding, major vascular complications, myocardial infarction, permanent pacemaker implantation, and acute renal injury. Device success was caculated, which refered to absence of procedural mortality and correct positioning of a single prosthetic heart valve into the proper anatomical location and intended performance of the prosthetic heart valve (mean aortic valve gradient<20 mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) or peak velocity<3 m/s, with no moderate or severe prosthetic valve regurgitation). Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to estimate the survival rate of patients during follow-up. Results: This study included 48 patients. The age was (72.5±8.1) years, and 34 patients were males (70.8%). Device success rate was 91.7% (44/48). The mean aortic valve transvalvular pressure was significantly decreased after operation ((12.3±6.4)mmHg vs. (60.2±23.8)mmHg, P<0.000 1). Left ventricular ejection fraction was significantly increased ((41.5±11.7)% vs. (31.0±11.3)%, P<0.000 1). NT-proBNP significantly decreased (3 492.0 (1 638.8, 7 165.5) ng/L vs. 12 418.5 (6 693.8, 35 000.0) ng/L, P<0.000 1). In-hospital all-cause mortality was 8.3% (4/48). During hospitalization, the rate of stroke was 2.1% (1/48), major bleeding was 6.3% (3/48), major vascular complications was 10.4% (5/48), myocardial infarction was 4.2% (2/48), permanent pacemaker implantation was 6.3% (3/48), and the rate of acute renal injury was 12.5% (6/48). MCS was used in 20 patients (41.7%). The median follow-up time was 196 days. During the follow-up, one patient died (due to systemic metastasis of pancreatic cancer), two cases suffered new myocardial infarction and one case received permanent pacemaker implantation. The survival rate of 30 days, 1 year and 2 years after the operation were 91.7% (44/48), 89.6% (43/48), 89.6% (43/48), respectively. Conclusion: Emergency TAVR may be a safe and effective treatment for patients with severe decompensated aortic valve stenosis.

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the mechanism of right ventricular pulmonary artery coupling by fitting the pressure volume loop of pulmonary arterial hypertension patients and calculating the related parameters.Methods During January of 2015 to December of 2015,34 patients with pulmonary hypertension and 5 patients with patent oval foramen(PFO)were admitted in Wuhan Asian Heart Hospital,. Inclusion criteria for the pulmonary hypertension group were in accordance with the newest European guidelines for pulmonary hypertension . All of the patients were conducted invasive pressure catheter intervention and MRI. All the pressure data were digitized by GetData software and the CMR tools3D was used to derive right ventricular volume data, fitting the pressure volume loop and calculate the Pmax, Ees, Ea and other related parameters. 5 patients with PFO and 34 patients with pulmonary hypertension were divided into three groupswhich included:the control group (i.e. the patients with PFO), patients with pulmonary artery mean pressure less than 50 mmHg as group A and pulmonary artery mean pressure greater than or equal to 50 mmHg as group B. The pressure volume loop of the three groups were compared and the related parameters were calculated.Results The right ventricular Pmax were(53.05±12.87) mmHg, (134.73±26.38) mmHg, (207.88±65.67) mmHg, in the control group, group A and B respectively. There were significant differences when compared among the 3 groups. There was no statistical difference in Ees between the control group and group A(P>0.05). The Ees of group B was significantly higher than the control group[(1.53±0.97)vs.(0.60±0.28),P<0.05]. The Ea of group B was higher than the control[(1.34±0.74) vs.(0.39±0.15),P<0.05]. The overall ratio of Ees/Ea was lower in group B as compared to the control group [(1.12±0.47)vs.(1.62±0.51),P<0.05].Conclusions In the early stage of pulmonary hypertension, right ventricular contractility preserves and can overcome the slightly elevated afterload .The right ventricle and pulmonary artery coupled with good work. With the increasing mean pulmonary artery,the afterload of right ventricular increases and right ventricular contractility needs further increase to fight against the elevated afterload. The elevation of contractility cannot overcome the change of afterload, resulting in the off paired of mechanical efflciency, causing the right ventricle- pulmonary artery coupling decreases.

ABSTRACT

Newcastle disease virus (NDV) and Salmonella Pullorum have significant damaging effects on the poultry industry, but no previous vaccine can protect poultry effectively. In this study, a recombinant-attenuated S. Pullorum strain secreting the NDV hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) protein, C79-13ΔcrpΔasd (pYA-HN), was constructed by using the suicide plasmid pREasd-mediated bacteria homologous recombination method to form a new bivalent vaccine candidate against Newcastle disease (ND) and S. Pullorum disease (PD). The effect of this vaccine candidate was compared with those of the NDV LaSota and C79-13ΔcrpΔasd (pYA) strains. The serum hemagglutination inhibition antibody titers, serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies, secretory IgA, and stimulation index in lymphocyte proliferation were increased significantly more (p 0.05). Moreover, the novel strain provides 60% and 80% protective efficacy against the NDV virulent strain F48E9 and the S. Pullorum virulent strain C79-13. In summary, in this study, a recombinant-attenuated S. Pullorum strain secreting NDV HN protein was constructed. The generation of the S. Pullorum C79-13ΔcrpΔasd (pYA-HN) strain provides a foundation for the development of an effective living-vector double vaccine against ND and PD.

ABSTRACT

Fontan surgery is a widely used palliative procedure that significantly improves the survival period of patients with complex congenital heart disease (CHD). However, it does not decrease postoperative complication rate. Previous studies suggested that elevated mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) and vascular resistance lead to decreased exercise tolerance and myocardial dysfunction. Therapy with endothelial receptor antagonists (Bosentan) has been demonstrated to improve the patients' prognosis. A double-blind, randomized controlled trial was performed to explore the efficacy of Bosentan in treating patients who underwent the Fontan procedure. Eligible participants were randomly divided into Bosentan group and control group. Liver function was tested at a local hospital and the results were reported to the phone inspector every month. If the results suggested abnormal liver function, treatment would be adjusted or terminated. All the participants finished the follow-up study, with no patients lost to follow-up. Unblinding after 2-year follow-up, no mortality was observed in either group. However, secondary end-points were found to be significantly different in the comparable groups. The cardiac function and 6-min walking distance in the Bosentan group were significantly superior to those in the control group (P=0.018 and P=0.027). Bosentan could improve New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional status and improve the results of the 6-min walking test (6MWT) in Fontan patients post-surgery, and no other benefits were observed. Furthermore, a primary meta-analysis study systematically reviewed all the similar clinical trails worldwide and concluded an overall NYHA class improvement in Fontan patients who received Bosentan treatments.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate therapeutic effects of simvastatin on serum expressions of cytokines and synovial tissue aspartic protease-3 (Caspase-3) in collagen induced arthritis (CIA) in rats, and the mechanism thereof. Methods The rat model of CIA was established by injecting bovine Ⅱ collagen. Sixteen model rats were randomly divided into two groups:CIA model group (sterile water 5 mL·kg-1·d-1 by gavage) and simvastatin group (2.0 mg·kg-1·d-1 by gavage). Seven normal rats were included in control group (sterile water 5 mL·kg-1·d-1 by gavage). The arthritis index (AI) and hind paw vol-umes were recorded once a week. The serum levels of cytokine, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-αand interleukin (IL)-6 were measured by ELISA 42 days after the initial immunization. The expression of Caspase-3 in ankle synovial tissue was detect-ed by immunohistochemical method, and pathological results of HE staining in rat ankle were compared between three groups. Results Values of AI were decreased on the 24-d of the initial immunization in simvastatin group and CIA model group, which was significantly decreased on the 35-d of the initial immunization in simvastatin group than that of CIA model group (P<0.05). The values of hind paw volumes were decreased on the 14-d of the initial immunization in simvastatin group and CIA model group, which was still significantly higher than those of control group (P<0.05). The values of hind paw volumes were decreased on the 35-d and 42-d of the initial immunization in simvastatin group than those of CIA model group (P<0.05). The serum levels of TNF-αand IL-6 on the 42-d of the initial immunization were significantly lower in simvastatin group than those of CIA model group, but which were significantly higher than those of control group ( P<0.05). There were more synovial hyperplasia in simvastatin group than those of CIA model group. Only a small amount of inflamma-tory cell infiltration was found in simvastatin group. The expression of Caspase-3 was significantly higher in simvastatin group than that of CIA model group. Conclusion Simvastatin can significantly inhibit the serum levels of TNF-αand IL-6 in CIA model rats, and can up-regulate the expression of Caspase-3 in ankle of model rats.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the long-term effect of bosentan on outcome in patients after Fontan operation.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Patients after Fontan surgery were randomly divided into bosentan group (B, n = 16) and control group (C, n = 23). Bosentan was applied within 7 days after Fontan surgery as follows: at the first month, 7.8125 mg Bid for patients with body weight ≤ 10 kg; 15.625 mg Bid for patients with body weight between 10-20 kg; 31.25 mg Bid for patients with body weight 20-30 kg and 62.5 mg Bid for patients with body weight > 30 kg. At the second month, the bosentan dose was doubled and Bosentan therapy was continued for more than 1 year. Group C didn't take drugs affecting pulmonary artery pressure. All patients were followed up for 2 years and incidence of mortality, protein losing enteropathy, pulmonary arteriovenous fistulae, 6-minute walk test, heart function were compared between the two groups.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>After 2 years, mortality tended to be lower in group B compared to group C [6.25% (1/16) vs. 21.8% (5/23), P > 0.05]. Incidence of pulmonary arteriovenous fistulae and protein losing enteropathy were significantly lower in group B than in group C (6.25% vs. 34.78%, P = 0.01;6.25% vs. 39.13%, P = 0.02, respectively) . The results of 6-minute walk test[ (485 ± 44) m vs. (302 ± 183) m] and heart function in group B (3 NYHA III/IV patients in group B vs. 14 NYHA III/IV patients in group C, all P < 0.05) were all better than group C. The concentrations of vasoactive factors such as brain natriuretic peptide (BNP, 279.07 ± 128.17 vs. 457.67 ± 221.30), endothelin (ET, 3.30 ± 0.61 vs. 4.98 ± 1.24) and thromboxane (TXA2, 97.2 ± 24.0 vs. 163.22 ± 24.4) were also significantly lower in group B than in group C (all P < 0.05). Prostacyclin (PGI2) level and incidence of arrhythmias were similar between the two groups. There was no thrombotic event in both groups during follow up.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Bosentan trerapy in patients post Fontan operation could reduce the incidence of pulmonary arteriovenous fistulae and protein losing enteropathy and improve heart function.</p>

ABSTRACT

TDP-4-ketohexulose reductase, encoded by dnmV, is important in daunorubicin biosynthesis. To obtain a daunorubicin block mutant, double cross-over plasmid pYG817 was constructed by inserting apramycin resistant gene and amplified dnmV together with upstream dnmU into vector pUC18. dnmV was successfully disrupted after transformation of daunorubicin-producing strain SIPI-1482 by pYG817. Daunorubicin was absent from metabolites of the resulting transformant, and its biosynthesis can be reconstituted by introducing dnmV expression plasmid into the disruptant, although the yield is lower than wild-type SIPI-1482, according to HPLC analysis. This mutant can be a good candidate for production of anthracycline such as epi-daunorubicin by introducing exogenous gene into the host.

ABSTRACT

A novel gene,located between dnrX and drrB in the genome of daunorubicin-producing strain Streptomyces coeruleorubidus SIPI-1482,was cloned and named as dauW.The full sequence of dauW was submitted to GenBank(Accession No.EF523565).Blast result indicated that it showed high homology with dnrW in GenBank.The exact function of dauW is as yet unknown despite the possibility that it might belong to a family of FAD-dependent oxidoreductases on the basis of conserved domain analysis.dauW was cloned into expression plasmids pET-28a(+)and pET-32a(+),respectively,and was successfully expressed in E.coli DE3 after induction with IPTG.The preliminary results of the expression of dauW suggested that it might be involved in the self resistance in Streptomyces coeruleorubidus due to the increased resistance to daunorubicin in the E.coli host.
