RESUMO
Objective To study the feasibility of model building methods by analyzing the advantages and disadvantages between the two different methods to build off-pump coronary artery bypass graft animal model. Methods Twenty dogs were randomly divided into two groups:brachiocephalic artery group and descending aorta group. Small-caliber heterogeneous vascular vessels were used as bridge vessels. The incision was in the fourth intercostal space of the left chest. Vascular anastomosis was firstly done between the brachiocephalic artery and bridge vessels,or between descending aorta and bridge vessels,prior to coronary vascular and bridge vessels anastomosis. Results The dogs of two groups were not dead during operation. Brachiocephalic artery group and the descending aorta group:aortic vascular anastomosis times were (33.9 ±4.8) min and (29.6 ±3.5) min respectively (P0. 05). The surgical blood losses of the two groups were (77. 5 ± 16. 2) mL and (66. 5 ± 12. 3) mL re-spectively (P>0. 05). After side clamping descending aorta,femoral blood pressure significantly decreased in descending aorta group,and the two dogs had melena after operation. Conclusion Off-pump coronary artery bypass graft models were both constructed successfully by the two ways. Descending aorta group of femoral artery blood pressure violently fluctuated and had abdominal organs’ ischemia reperfusion in-jury. Though brachiocephalic artery group anastomosis group spent a little longer time,they had stable artery blood pressure during operation. As a result,the way of constructing animal model of brachiocephalic artery group is safer.
RESUMO
This investigation was aimed to explore whether over-expression of 27heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) could protect bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs)against injury induced by high-concentration glucose. We cultured BMSCs in high-concentration glucose medium, and up-regulated or inhibited HO-1 expression in BMSCs through its agonist or inhibitor. We detected the ability of BMSCs proliferation and secretion respectively by MTT and enzyme-linked immunosorbnent assay (ELISA). Then we detected the effect of BMSCs conditions medium on proliferation and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) through scratch experiments and transwell assay. It was found that HO-1 over-expression could not only promote BMSCs proliferation, but also promote secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and could further accelerate the proliferation and migration of HUVECs. It could be well concluded that HO-1-over-expressing BMSCs can not only inhibit damage induced by high-concentration glucose, but can promote the proliferation and migration of vascular endothelial cells through paracrine as well. The result indicated that HO-1-over-expressing BMSCs played an important role in the treatment of diabetic vascular complication.
