Résumé
Objective:To explore the prevalence and risk factors of cardiac events in different ethnic groups in Xinjiang region.Methods:This retrospective cohort study was based on big data from the health checkup population. A total of 7 899 cases were included from the Physical Examination Center of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region People′s Hospital form 2015 January 1 to December 31, 2017.The population were divided into Uyghur group (2 630 cases), Kazak group (2 636 cases), and the Han nationality group (2 633 cases). Telephone follow-up was conducted once a month after the health checkup, the preset follow-up time for all personnel was 2 years, with the occurrence of cardiac events as the end point. Once cardiac events occurred, the follow-up would be stopped. The risk factors of cardiac events in different ethnic groups were evaluated by statistical analysis.Results:The median follow-up time of the 7 899 included healthy examinees was 1.27 years, and 200 cases of cardiac events occurred, with an incidence rate of 2.53%. The values of body mass index (BMI), the levels of triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) of Uyghur and Kazak were higher than those of Han (all P<0.05). The cardiac events in Uyghur, Kazak and Han group were 75 cases (2.85%), 85 cases (3.22%) and 40 cases (1.52%). There was no significantly statistical difference between Uyghur group and Kazak group in the incidence of cardiac events, while it was significantly lower in the Han group than the other two groups (both P<0.05). Univariate analysis showed that BMI, TC, TG, HDL-C and LDL-C were the risk factors of cardiac events; multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that ethnic groups ( HR=4.34, 95% CI: 1.14―8.13); HDL-C ( HR=3.32, 95% CI: 1.89―5.74) and LDL-C ( HR=2.47, 95% CI: 1.21―7.45) were independent risk factors for cardiac events. Conclusions:Ethnic factor is one of the independent risk factors for the occurrence of cardiac events in Xinjiang, and Uyghur and Kazak have a higher incidence of cardiac events. HDL-C and LDL-C are also important risk factors for cardiac events.

Objective To investigate the differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to renal tubular epithelial-like cells under different conditions. Methods MSCs were obtained from rat marrow. MSCs were isolated by gradient density centrifugation and plastic adherence and then purified. Surface markers were identified with flow cytometry after amplification in vitro. The purified MSCs of the third passage were cultured respectively as follows: (1) control group: DMEM medium with fetal bovine serum(FBS). (2) all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) group: DMEM medium with FBS, ATRA and ischemic reperfusion-injured kidney tissue homogenate. (3)combination group: DMEM medium with FBS, ATRA, ischemic reperfusion-injured kidney tissue homogenate, epidermal growth factor (EGF) and bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP-7). After 7 days, the MSCs were collected for alkaline phosphatase (AKP) staining, cytokeratin-18 and E-cadherin immunocytochemical analysis. Results The positive rates of the third passage MSCs in CD44, CD90 and CD29 were 97.8%±0.9%, 96.8%±1.4% and 97.6%±2.4%,respectively, but in CD11b/c and CD34 were only 13.2%±0.6% and 1.2%±0.5%. The MSCs in control group were spindle. The MSCs in ATRA group were round and elliptic. The MSCs in combination group became cobblestone-like cells after 7 days. AKP staining showed that tubular epithelial-like cells from MSCs in control group were negative, some above cells in ATRA group were positive and number of above cells increased in combination group. Compared with negative control group, the ratios of cytokeratin-18 positive cells in ATRA group and combination group were respectively increassed by 29.47%±1.08% and 47.52%±2.13% (all P<0.05), the ratios of E-cadherin positive cells in ATRA group and combination group were respectively increased by 14.88%±2.46% and 36.15%±1.13% (all P<0.05). Conclusion MSCs may differentiate by renal tubular epithelial-like cells under the induction of ischemic reperfusion-injured kidney tissue homogenate and ATRA in vitro, which are further differentiated under the combined induction of EGF and BMP-7.
Résumé
Effect of strophanthidin (Str) on intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) was investigated on isolated ventricular myocytes of guinea pig. Single ventricular myocytes were obtained by enzymatic dissociation technique. Fluorescent signal of [Ca2+]i was detected with confocal microscopy after incubation of cardiomycytes in Tyrode's solution with Fluo3-AM. The result showed that Str increased [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner. The ventricular myocytes began to round-up into a contracture state once the peak level of [Ca2+]i was achieved in the presence of Str (10 μmol·L-1), but remained no change in the presence of Str (1 and 100 nmol·L-1). Tetrodotoxin (TTX), nisodipine, and high concentration of extracellular Ca2+ changed the response of cardiomycytes to Str (1 and 100 nmol·L-1), but had no obvious effects on the action of Str (10 μmol·L-1). The elevation of [Ca2+]i caused by Str at all of the detected concentrations was partially antagonized by rynodine (10 μmol·L-1) or the removal of Ca2+ from Tyrode's solution. In Na+, K+-free Tyrode's solution, the response of cardiomycytes in [Ca2+]i elevation to Str (10 μmol·L-1) was attenuated, while remained no change to Str (1 and 100 nmol·L-1). TTX, nisodipine, and high concentration of extracellular Ca2+ changed the response of cardiomycytes to Str at all of the detected concentrations in Na+, K+-free Tyrode's solution. The study suggests that the elevation of [Ca2+]i by Str at the low (nomomolar) concentrations is partially mediated by the extracellular calcium influx through Ca2+ channel or a "slip mode conductance" of TTX sensitive Na+ channel. While the effect of Str at high (micromolar) concentrations was mainly due to the inhibition of Na+, K+-ATPase. Directly triggering the release of intracellular Ca2+ from sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) by Str may be also involved in the mechanism of [Ca2+]i elevation.
