Objective To investigate the effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (MSCs) transp1antation combined with transmyocardial drilling revascularization (TMDR) and degradable stent on myocardium revascu1arization after acute myocardial infarction(AMI), and to provide the experimental evidence for surgical treatment of myocardial infarction. Methods After established models of AMI, the 24 pigs were divided into four groups with random number table, 6 pigs each group. Control group: only established models of AMI; MSCs group: AMI immediately followed by MSCs implantation; TMDR combined with stent group: AMI followed by TMDR and absorbable basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) stent implantation; MSCs combined with TMDR and stent group: AMI followed by TMDR and absorbable bFGF stent implantation, and then MSCs implantation. Three months after operation, the infarcted areas and vessel density in infarcted zone were detected by histopathology method. Results Three months after operation, the histopathological examination showed that infarcted areas in MSCs group, TMDR combined with stent group, and MSCs combined with TMDR and stent group were decreased as compared with control group （27.9%±3.1% vs. 48.9%±2.7%，P=0.000；20.3%±1.7% vs. 48.9%±2.7%，P=0.000；12.5%±1.9% vs. 48.9%±2.7%，P=0.000）; and vessel density was further increased （8.4±1.2/HP vs.4.5±14/HP，P=CM(1583mm] 0.001；11.5±2.6/HP vs.4.5±1.4/HP，P=0.001;15.6±1.4/HP vs.4.5±1.4/HP，P=0.000）. Conclusion [CM)]MSCs transplantation combined with TMDR and absorbable bFGF stents implantation could significantly reduce the infarction areas, increase the vessel density. This method may enhance the efficacy of MSCs transplantation in acute cardiac infarction model, which provide a new ideas for the surgical treatment of myocardial infarction.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between pattern of left ventricular dilation and functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) by echocardiography. Methods A single-center retrospective observational study was conducted on 117 patients with age of 31-77 years and left ventricular end diastolic dimension≥60 mm treated in our hospital from January 2013 through May 2016. These patients were divided into four groups by FMR degree: FMR-None/Trace (FMR-N/T group,n=33), FMR-Minor (FMR-Mi group,n=37), FMR-Moderate (FMR-Mo group,n=34) and FMR-Severe (FMR-Se group,n=13). We analyzed their basic information and echocardiographic parameters including left ventricular dimension, volume, systolic function, spherical index, regional wall motion score index, tenting height and area of mitral vavle as well as anterior/posterior angle. Results The incidences of inferior/posterior/lateral myocardial infarction and basal myocardial dyskinesia/aneurysm increased with the increase of FMR degree (FMR-N/T vs. FMR-Mi vs. FMR-Mo vs. FMR-Se: 12.1% vs. 18.9% vs. 44.1% vs. 46.2%,P=0.001 and 12.1% vs. 27.0% vs.47.1% vs. 53.8%,P=0.005, respectively). The tenting height and area of mitral valve, anterior/posterior angle, regional wall score index of the left ventricle where the papillary muscle was attached to had a positive correlation with FMR degree (P＜0.05). Conclusion There is a relationship between regional left ventricular dilation and FMR. Evaluating and improving those parameters is very important when we choose the treatment strategy of functional mitral regurgitaion.
ObjectiveTo investigate effect of heart tissue-derived extracellular matrix(ECM) on the differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis of cardiosphere-derived cells(CDC) in vitro. MethodsCDCs were cultured by cardiac explant methods. ECM was prepared by decelluariztion procedure. CDCs were cultured on ECM coated dishes or conventional fibrin (FN) coated dishes. Then we compared the differentiation rate, proliferation, and apoptosis rate of CDC between the two groups in vitro. ResultsECM could significantly promote CDC differentiating into vascular endothelial cell, cardiac muscle cell or smooth muscle cell (0.060±0.002 vs. 0.043±0.002, P < 0.001; 0.082±0.003 vs. 0.051±0.002, P < 0.001; 0.055±0.002 vs. 0.034±0.001, P < 0.001). ECM also significantly promoted the proliferation of CDC and reduced the apoptosis and necrosis rate of CDC in vitro (0.052±0.002 vs. 0.025±0.001, P < 0.001). ConclusionWe obtained c-kit+ CDCs, effectively remove the cellular components of heart tissue-derived ECM and preserved the composition and structure of ECM. ECM can promote the differentiation of CDC to vascular endothelial cell, cardiac muscle cell or smooth muscle cell, promote the proliferation of CDCs and decrease CDC apoptosis and necrosis rate in vitro.
Objective To observe the influence of edaravone perfusion via the pulmonary artery on postoperative lung tissue and lung function during pulmonary ischemia in deep hypothermic circulatory arrest （DHCA）， and explore its possible mechanism. Methods A total of 24 healthy New Zealand white big-ear rabbits were randomly divided into three groups： （1） control group： DHCA model under cardiopulmonary bypass （CPB） was established； （2）low potassium dextran （LPD）group： LPD solution perfusion via the pulmonary artery after the establishment of DHCA； （3）edaravone group：LPD solution containing edaravone （5 mg/kg） perfusion via the pulmonary artery after the establishment of DHCA. Oxygenation index and lung compliance were observed at the time of baseline condition， recovery of ventilation， 1 hour and 2 hours after recovery of ventilation， and postoperative lung function of the three groups were compared. Malondialdehyde （MDA） and superoxide dismutase （SOD） in pulmonary venous blood were measured. All the rabbits were sacrificed after the operation. HE staining and immunohistochemistry were performed on the lung tissues to investigate lung structure changes and inflammatory reaction. Transmission electron microscopy was used to compare ultrastructural changes of lung.Results There were no statistical difference in oxygenation index， lung compliance， MDA and SOD among the 3 groups under the baseline condition （P＞0.05）. After recovery of ventilation， oxygenation index and lung compliance deteriorated to varying degrees in all 3 groups. Oxygenation index and lung compliance of the control group and LPD group at the time of recovery of ventilation， 1 hour and 2 hours after recovery of ventilation were significantly lower than those of edaravone group （oxygenation index：recovery of ventilation and in control group and edaravone group: 198.25±11.02 mm Hg vs. 244.87±13.05 mm Hg；lung compliance：one hour after recovery ventilation in control group and edaravone group：45.88±1.64 ml/cm H2O vs. 59.75±2.38 ml/cm H2O；P＜0.05）. After CPB removal， MDA levels were increased to varying degrees in all 3 groups. MDA levels of the control group and LPD group at the time of CPB removal， 1 hour and 2 hours after CPB removal were significantly higher than those of edaravone group （P＜0.05）. After CPB removal， SOD levels were decreased to varying degrees in all 3 groups. SOD levels of the control group and LPD group at the time of CPB removal， 1 hour and 2 hours after CPB removal were significantly lower than those of edaravone group （P＜0.05）. HE staining showed clear lung structure， less red blood cell leakage， less inflammatory cell infiltration， and less alveolar fluid accumulation in the edaravone group. Immunohistochemistry showed that integral light density of interleukin 6 （IL-6）in edaravone group was significantly lower than those of the LPD group and control group （14.44±1.75 vs. 20.18±2.22， P＜0.05）. Transmission electron microscopy showed integral basement membrane structure， clear blood gas barrier structure， significantly larger number of type II epithelial cells， abundant but not swollen mitochondria and lamellar bodies in the cytoplasm in the edaravone group， which were destroyed in varying degrees in the LPD group and control group. Conclusion Pulmonary artery perfusion of protective solution in low temperature can significantly reduce lung injury induced by DHCA and CPB. Protective solution containing edaravone in low temperature can better decrease lung injury and protect oxygenation.
ObjectiveTo establish a novel animal model of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCT) in rabbits without thoracotomy, and investigate acute kidney injury (AKI) induced by DHCT and early novel biomarkers of AKI. MethodsForty-two New Zealand big ear rabbits (3.5-4.0 kg, male or female) were randomly divided into 2 groups with 21 rabbits in each group. Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was established via the right carotid artery and jugular vein in both groups. In Group A, CPB continued when the rectal temperature was maintained at 28℃. In group B, DHCT started when the rectal temperature reached 16℃ to 18℃ and lasted for 60 minutes before CPB was resumed and rewarming was started. The rectal temperature was restored to 35℃ within 30 minutes, then CPB was maintained for 30 minutes. CPB time was same in both groups. Preoperatively and 6 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours after the operation, venous blood samples were taken to examine serum creatinine (Cr) and β-trace protein (β-TP), and urine samples were taken to examine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL). Four rabbits were sacrificed at respective above time points to measure renal malondialdehyde (MDA) content. Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE) staining, TUNEL assay and transmission electron microscopy were used to examine morphological changes of renal tubular epithelial cells (TECs). ResultsFour rabbits died in group A and five rabbits died in Group B during the experiment.(1)Blood Cr:There was no statistical difference between different time points in Group A (P > 0.05). In Group B, serum Cr at 24 hours after the operation was significantly higher than other time points, and also significantly higher than that of group A (P < 0.05).(2)Blood β-TP and urinary NGAL:There was no statistical difference between different time points in Group A (P > 0.05). In Group B, blood β-TP and urinary NGAL at the time of 6 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours postoperatively were significantly higher than preoperative levels (P < 0.05). Blood β-TP and urinary NGAL at the time of 24 hours postoperatively were significantly higher than other time points (P < 0.05). Blood β-TP and urinary NGAL at the time of 6 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours postoperatively were significantly higher than those of group A (P < 0.05).(3)Renal MDA content of Group B at the time of 24 hours postoperatively was significantly higher than other time points as well as that of Group A (P < 0.05).(4) HE staining showed serious pathological injuries of renal TECs at the time of 24 hours postoperatively in Group B. There was no significant pathological injury of renal TECs at the time of 24 hours postoperatively in Group A. (5)TUNEL-positive rate of group B at the time of 24 hours postoperatively was significantly higher than other time points as well as that of group A (P < 0.05).(6)Transmission electron microscope showed serious pathological injuries of renal TECs organelles at the time of 24 hours postoperatively in Group B. There was no significant pathological injury of renal TECs organelles in Group A. ConclusionsThis DHCT rabbit model without thoracotomy is a simple, convenient, and economical animal model with long-term animal survival for the study of DHCT-induced organ injury. AKI is most serious at the time of 24 hours after DHCA. Blood β-TP and urinary NGAL can be used as early biomarkers of DHCT-induced AKI.
ObjectiveTo explore the inhibition action of valproic acid to inflammatory cells and smooth muscle cells then to find out that valproic acid (VPA) can repress rat thoracic aortic aneurysm or not. MethodsThe model of rat thoracic aortic aneurysm was built through the method of soaking the adventitia of artery using porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE). The rats were divided into three groups:a normal saline blank control group (a C group), an adventitia soaked PPE group (a P group), and adventitia soaked PPE plus intraperitoneal injection by injecting intraperitioneal VPA 200 mg/kg for seven days (a PV group).The animals of the three groups were all using vascular ultrasound to detect blood vessel diameter. Animals were killed after operation to observe the general morphology of vascular aneuysm and do the immunohistochemial, morphological, protein analysis of interleukin 1 (IL-1), interleukin 6 (IL-6), smooth muscle 22 alpha (SM22α), matrix metallopeptidase 2 (MMP-2), MMP-9 and Western blot by drawing animals on the 14th day. ResultsThe vessels diameter in the PV group was narrower than that in the P group (P value<0.05). HE staining, immunohistochemistry and Western blot displayed that the cells in the P group were in disorder arrangement and interstitial disorder while the cells in the PV group maintained better albumin layer. The protein expressions of IL-1, IL-6, MMP-2, and MMP-9 in the PV group decreased except that SM22α increased. ConclusionVPA can inhibit phenothpic transforming of aneurysm inflammatory cells and smooth muscle cells, reduce the levels of cell proliferation, decrease the secretion of matrix metalloproteinases, and depress tumor growth of rat thoracic aorta.
