RESUMO
@# ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) treatment on quality of life and prediction in patients with chronic total occlusion.Methods87 patients with chronic total occlusion who had underwent PCI to revascularization were studied. 57 cases had successfully revascularized and implanted stenting. 30 cases failed to revascularize. Their activity of living, quality of life and long prediction were observed.ResultsAfter 6～60 months follow-up, the quality of life in patients with successful revascularization was much better than that in patients who failed to revascularize. Mortality between these two groups showed no significant difference. ConclusionSuccesful revascularization by PCI on chronic total occlusion can improve quality of life.
RESUMO
Objective To study the treatment of renal artery stenting for patients with coronary artery heart disease and renal artery stenosis who need coronary atery bypass graft (CABG) and its effect on preventing acute renal dysfunction after CABG. Methods From April 2001 to January 2005, renal artery stenting was carried out in 82 patients (a total of 104 renal arteries) with CHD and renal artery stenosis who needed CABG. Among the 82 patients, 77 of them accompanied with hypertension and 21 of them had abnormal renal function. Heparin was selected as anticoagulant other than anti-platelet drug and low molecular weight heparin before stenting. Results All of the stents were successfully implanted in 104 renal lesions without complication. Blood creatinine (Cr) reduced in 9 patients with renal dysfunction by the time of discharge. Three patients had blood Cr increased provisionally after stenting. Four patients with normal pre-operational renal function showed transient increase in blood Cr after stenting. All of the patients with transient blood Cr elevation had bilateral renal artery stenosis. Conclusion Renal artery stenosis may cause acute renal failure after CABG. Pre-CABG renal artery stenting may prevent the occurance of acute renal failure after operation.
RESUMO
31 rat were divided randomly into control group (n=10),tripterygium wilfordii glycosides group (n = 10 9. 4 mg/kg per day),and poly saccharide sulphate group (n=11. 30 mg/per day). We made balloon endothelium denudation in thoracic aortae of the rats. The treatments with drugs began 6 days before balloon injury and continously until the animal were killed 14 day after balloon injury. The determinations for area of neointima, neointima /media, coverage of neointima and 3H-TdR incoperation of thoracic aortae suggested that tripterygium wilfordii glycosides can inhibit intimal proliferation of injuried aorta, whill poly saccharide sulphate shows no effect.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the effectiveness and methodology of percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation (PTSMA). for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). Methods PTSMA with Sigwart's Method were performed in 57 patients with symptomatic HOCM from September 1999 to January 2005. Improvements were made about pressure monitoring, echocardiography guiding, the ablation procedure and the evaluation criteria of the operation. Results About 0.6-9.0 mL of absolute alcohol were consumed during PTSMA in each patient with 1-5 target septal branchs ablated per case. The resting and provoked left ventricular outflow tract pressure gradient monitored by catheter was reduced over 50% compared with preoperation level in all 57 cases. Two out of four cases with ECT exam had septal myocardial radioactive absence. During the follow-up of 2 weeks to 5 years, the clinical symptoms such as syncope, diziness, angina, palpitation and dyspnea, disappeared or were relieved in 54 cases compared with preoperation status. Two cases regained the above symptoms not long after the operation. One patient showed improvement in clinical symptoms and echocardiographic examination in 6 monthes, but she died of dilated congestive cardiomyopathy at 18 monthes after PTSMA. Follow-up echocardiographic examination was completed in 43 cases at 6 monthes and in 34 cases at 12 monthes after PTSMA. Further improvement was shown on UCG compared with 2 weeks after the operation. Some patients had transient or nonsustained ventricular tachycardia and atrioventricular block. Anteroseptal myocardial infarction was observed in 4 patients and 1 of them was accompanied by inferior myocardial infarction. Conclusion Percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy is safe and effective. Improvements have to be made for more satisfactory results of PTSMA.
RESUMO
The ultrastructure of the relationship between the sarcoplasmic (SR) and the intercalated disk in the atrial myocardial cells of the heart is studied. The results reveal: a coupling exists between the SR and the unspecializsd sarcolem-ma of the intercalated disk. In order to differentiate it from a general peripheral coupling it is called intercalated disk coupling. It possesses 3 morphological features of the peripheral and interior couplings, i. e., the cytoplasmic gap in coupling region is about 11-18 nm in width; the jnctional processes or junc-tional feet are located in the cytoplasmic gap; and the SR contains electronic dense material in its lumen. In the coupling region the RS membranes are not only coupling with the unspecialized membrane of the intercalated disk but also closely apposed to the external membrane of mitochondria. In addition, the gap junction-sarcoplasmic reticulum couplings are formed between the cardial gap junction and the SR. Its ultrastructural characteristics are the same as the cardial couplings. The functional significance of the couplings of the SR with the intercalated disk is discussed.
RESUMO
The ultrastructural changes of atrial myocardial cells during hemorrhagic shock and after autotransfusion with the shedded blood were observed in rats,which were divided into control,hemorrhagic shock and auspeto-transfusion groups.It was found that there was a marked increase of atrial specific granules in the atrial myocardial cells during hemorrhagic shock.Striking ultrastructural changes of atrial myocardial cells were noted after transfusion of the shedded blood.Reduction in the number of atrial specific granules,in addition to mitochondrial swelling,reduction of the cristae,focal emptying of mitochondria,myelin-like figure in mitochondrial matrix,expansion of sar-coplasmic reticulum,dilatation of Golgi complexes and perinuclear space,and dissociation of myocardial disk,were remarkable.The findings suggest that atrial myocardila cells participate in the patho-physiological changes of hemorrhagic shock and autotransfusion.
RESUMO
Glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) activity in the skeletal muscle cells was observed with electron microscope in rats.It was found that the reaction product of G6Pase activity was localized in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and nuclear envelope and a heterogenous distribution of G6Pase activity in the SR was shown.On the basis of the position relationship between SR and sarcolemmal system,the skeletal couplings can be classified as follows.1.The coupling between the terminal cisternae and the transverse tubules such as a triad.2.The peripheral coupling between the peripheral SR and the surface sarcolemma.3.The coupling between the subsarcolemmal SR and the subsarcolemmaltransverse tubules.The significance of the findings was discussed.
RESUMO
Glucose-6-phosphatase(G-6-Pase) activity in the atrial and ventricular muscle cells of the rats is examined by electron microscopy. The reaction product of G-6-Pase activity is present in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and the nuclear envelope of the myocardial cells. A heterogenous distribution of G-6-Pase activity in the cardial muscle cells is detected.In the myocardial cells the cytochemical reaction product for G-6-Pase activity is observed in a larger amount in the peripheral junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum(PJ-SR)and interior junctional SR(IJ-SR), and in smaller amounts in the nuclear envelope, is rarely present or absent in the network SR(N-SR).The possible functional significance of G-6-Pase in cardial muscle cells is discussed.
