RESUMO
Objective To investigate the life quality of elderly patients who have received percutaneous coronary artery stent implantation,and to analyze the influence factors.Methods By using SF-12 scale and general information questionnaire,the investigation of the quality of life was conducted in 91elderly patients who had received percutaneous coronary artery stent implantation.Results The total score of the life quality of 91 elderly patients after receiving percutaneous coronary artery stent implantation was (68.06±17.72) points.The factors influencing the quality of life included age (statistic value=4.438,P＜0.05),number of interventional therapy (statistic value=2.916,P＜0.05),number of involved coronary artery vessels (statistic value=4.359,P＜0.05),angina after operation (statistic value=-2.343,P＜0.05),postoperative chest tightness (statistic value=-2.222,P＜0.05) and smoking (statistic value=3.013,P＜0.05).Conclusion The quality of life of the 91 elderly patients who have received percutaneous coronary artery stent implantation is at a moderate level,and it is influenced by many factors.Nursing staff should pay attention to the elderly patients after percutaneous coronary intervention and strengthen the health education guidance so as to provide theoretical basis for improving the quality of life of elderly patients.
RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effect of L-arginine on expression of human FVIII gene.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Plasmid pcDNA6/V5-HisA-BDDhF VIII containing B domain deleted human coagulant factor VIII cDNA (BDDhF VIII cDNA) was constructed and transfected into human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). After 72 h incubation with L-arginine (final concentration was 10 mmol/L) , the supernatant was collected for determining the antigen and clotting activity of human FVIII (FVIII: Ag and FVIII: C ) with ELISA and one stage clotting assay respectively. HUVECs were harvested for detecting human FVIII mRNA by Northern blot analysis. The five functional domains of BDDhFVIII cDNA including A1, A2, A3, C1 and C2 were amplified with PCR and inserted into pcDNA6/V5-HisA to construct the expression plasmids pcDNA6/V5-Hi-sA-BDDhFVIII-A1, pcDNA6/V5-HisA-BDDhFVIII-A2, pcDNA6/V5-HisA-BDDhFVIII-A3, pcDNA6/V5-HisA-BDDhFVIII-C1 and pcDNA6/V5-HisA-BDDhFVIII-C2, respectively. HUVEC were transfected with the five plasmids respectively and incubated with L-arginine (at the final concentration of 10 mmol/L) for 72 h. Nucleoli were then isolated and underwent run-on assay.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>After 24 h incubation with L-arginine, FVIII: Ag and FVIII: C were increased markedly in the supernatant of HUVEC [FVIII: Ag was (146.08 +/- 4.78) ng/ ml, and FVIII: C (0.752 +/- 0.009) U/ml/10(6) cells x 24 h, while in control supernatant without L-arginine, FVIII: Ag was (34.66 +/- 3.98) ng/ml, and FVIII: C (0.171 +/- 0.006) U/ml/10(6) cell x 24 h, P < 0.01]. Northern blot analysis indicated that, after adding L-arginine, the transcription of human FVIII mRNA was intensified remarkably in HUVEC transfected with pcDNA6/V5-HisA-BDDhFVIII, but no any transcription in those transfected with pcDNA6/V5-HisA. Run-on assay demonstrated that with L-arginine induction, A1 and A2 domains transcription was increased obviously, while no change in A3, C1 and C2 domains transcription.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>L-arginine increases expression of human FVIII gene in HUVEC through enhancing its transcription, particularly, domain A1 and A2 within FVIII gene.</p>
