脂氧素A4对心肌缺血再灌注损伤的保护作用

Objective To investigate the roles of lipoxin A4, an endegenous lipid mediator with wide anti-inflammatory fea- tures, in attenuating myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and the possible mechanisms. Methods Thirty male KM mice were divid- ed randomly into three groups, 10 in each: ischemia-reperfusion group (group A), lipoxin A4 (0.1 mg/kg) group (group B) and Zn- PP (Zinc protoporphyrin Ⅸ, 25 mg/kg)phus lipoxin A4 (0.1 mg/kg)group (group C). A ischemia-reperfusion heart model was de- veloped by ligating the lift anterior descending branch of the coronary artery. A dine of 10% dehydrated alcohol in 0.2 ml for group A, a dose of isochoric lipoxin A4 for group B and a dose of isochoric ZnPP + lipoxin A4 for group C was infused into the ascending aorta through a catheter, which was kpassing the right common carotid artery, 30 minutes after reperfusion. The concentration of serum TNF-α, activities of serum crestine kinase(CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), activities of myeloperoxidase (MPO) and malond- ialdehyde (MDA) and the cell apoptosis rate in the myocardial tissue were measured 5 hours after reperfusion. Pathological features of the inflammatory infiltration in the myocardium were also observated.Results As compared with group A, the inflammatoryry infiltra- tion in the ischemic and necrotic regions tithe myocardium was reduced, with group C in the intermediate range. The serum activities of CK and LDH wine significantly lower in group B and C than that in group A, and the lowest activities were detected in group B. Similar findings were observed for MPO, an indicator for neutrophil infiltration, and MDA, an indictor for cell injury caused by oxy- gen radicals, in the myocardium. The concentration of TNF-α and the rate of cadiocyte apoptosis were decreased significantly in group B(P < 0.01). ZnPP, an inhibitor of heine oxygenase (HO)-1, attenusted the above protective effects of lipoxin A4 significantly (P<0.05). Conclusion Lipoxin A4 has protective effects against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, and HO-1 may have a potential role in the protectve mechanisms of lipoxin A4, probably pertly by means of reducing the production of reactive oxygen spe- cies and TNF-α, decreasing the activation and infiltration of neutrophils, alleviating inflammatory damage and avoiding apoptosis.

Detection of moderate and severe coronary artery stenosis with technetium-99m tetrofosmin myocardial single-photon emission tomography

The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of technetium-99m tetrofosmin myocardial imaging for the localization of coronary artery stenoses of different degrees of severity. Stress-rest single-photon emission tomography (SPET) was performed on separate days in 80 patients (64 males, 16 females; mean age 61 years; 43 patients with previous myocardial infarction; 18 patients with pharmacological stress), within 6 months of coronary angiography. Scintigraphic images were blindly and independently evaluated by three observers. Coronary stenosis was defined as a >50% narrowing in luminal diameter; severe stenosis was defined as a proximal stenosis of >75% or a peripheral stenosis of >90%. Coronary angiography revealed normal coronary arteries or insignificant coronary stenosis in 13 patients and significant coronary stenoses in 67 patients. The sensitivity and specificity of ^99mTc-tetrofosmin SPET in respect of severely stenosed vessels were, respectively, 80% and 65% for the left anterior descending artery (LAD), 100% and 46% for the right coronary artery (RCA) and 58 and 78% for the left circumflex artery (LCx) territories. Considering all the significantly stenosed vessels, a significant decrease in sensitivity was observed for LAD territories (to 59%, P=0.05), and a nonsignificant decrease for RCA (88%) and LCx (47%) territories while specificity values remained essentially unchanged. No significant changes in sensitivity or specificity were observed when regions with previous myocardial infarction were excluded. In conclusion, the sensitivity of ^99mTc-tetrofosmin SPET for the localization of individual stenosed vessels is only moderate when all significant stenoses are considered, but the ability of this technique to predict the location of severe coronary artery stenoses seems satisfactory, with the exception of the low specificity in respect of RCA territories.

Postpartum acute myocardial infarction

We report a postpartum acute myocardial infarction that occurred during the first week after cesarean section delivery. We also calculated the rate of postpartum myocardial infarction as related to all women with myocardial infarctions seen in our hospital.(Am J Obstet Gynecol 1997;177:1553-5.)     

Effect of artifacts due to flowing blood on the reproducibility of phase-contrast measurements of myocardial motion

The reproducibility of myocardial motion trajectories calculated from cine phase-contrast (PC) velocity data is reduced by artifacts due to the inconsistent motion of intracardiac blood. Spatial presaturation reduces these artifacts but requires a longer sequence TR, with a potentially negative effect on trajectory accuracy and reproducibility. We investigated the effect of spatial presaturation on trajectory reproducibility. A midventricular transaxial slice was imaged in five normal volunteers. The same slice was imaged three times each with sequences using spatial presaturation or not. Because the most serious artifacts originate in the heart chambers and propagate in the phase-encoded direction, myocardial regions that were in line with the heart chambers (in the phase-encode direction) had the highest artifact level in the scans without spatial presaturation. The reproducibility of trajectories for regions placed in these areas (the anterior wall, septum and posterior wall in the transaxial scans with phase encoding in the anterior-posterior direction) improved by a factor of two when presaturation was used (P < .001). In areas that were not in line with the heart chambers (eg, the anterior aspect of the lateral wall in the transaxial scans), the effect of presaturation was not significant. These results correlate well with the measured reduction in artifact level. The reproducibility of myocardial motion trajectories over large areas of the heart is improved to approximately 1 mm when presaturation is used. Therefore, use of presaturation is recommended for myocardial motion studies using cine PC velocity data.     

压力调节容量控制通气对肺损伤犬血流动力学、呼吸力学和呼吸功能的影响

目的 探讨压力调节容量控制(PRVC)通气模式对健康及急性肺损伤(ALI)模型犬的血流动力学、呼吸力学和呼吸功能的影响。方法 PRVC和间歇正压通气(IPPV)两种通气模式在呼气末压为0、0．5、1．0和1．5kPa时，分别测定健康犬及油酸诱发ALI犬的血流动力学、呼吸力学及血气参数。结果 健康犬PRVC较IPPV模式下除了在PEEP为0．5kPa时，气道峰压(PIP)、肺动态顺应性(Cdyn)和肺血管阻力(PVR)的影响差异有显著性，对血流动力学、呼吸力学及呼吸功能的影响差异均无显著性。ALI犬PRVC较IPPV模式下各PEEP水平的PIP、平均气道压(mPaw)、Cdyn、动脉血氧分压[pa(O2)]和氧耗(VO2)的影响均有显著意义，但两种通气模式对血流动力学的影响差异无显著性。结论 与IPPV相比，PRVC通气模式能降低PIP，增加Cdyn和提高pa(O2)，两模式对血流动力学的影响差异无显著性，PRVC更适用于ALI／ARDS的治疗。     

心率变异性与心肌梗塞范围关系的研究

报道７２例急性心肌梗塞患者的心率变异性（ＨＲＶ）值与心肌梗塞范围的关系，并与１２０例正常人的ＨＲＶ值进行对比，结果发现，心肌梗塞急性期ＨＲＶ值明显降低，与正常组对比有显著统计学意义，但ＨＲＶ值降低与心肌梗塞部位、范围无关，可能主要为心肌梗塞引起的应激反应所造成的体液及神经调节改变所致。     

Influence of heparin on fibrinogen and D-dimer plasma levels in acute myocardial infarction treated with streptokinase

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether, to whatextent, and through which mechanisms intravenous heparin, administeredbefore and after streptokinase, affects the plasma levels ofD-dimer and fibrinogen in myocardial infarction. Data concerningmortality and incidence of coronary recanalization in patientsreceiving heparin and thrombolytic therapy after acute myocardialinfarction are controversial; furthermore, the mechanisms throughwhich heparin acts in combination with thrombolytic therapyare unclear. Thirty-eight patients with acute myocardial infarctiontreated with streptokinase were considered. Nineteen of themreceived, immediately before the beginning of thrombolytic treatment,a bolus of heparin (100 U. kg¹ intravenously) and, 2 h later,intravenous heparin in doses raising the partial thromboplastintime to 2-2.5 times the normal value (Group 1); the remaining19 did not receive anticoagulant treatment (Group 2). Multipledeterminations of plasma D-dimer and fibrinogen levels wereobtained in all patients before, and in the seven days followingthrombolytic treatment. Six hours after streptokinase, fibrinogendecreased from 304 ± 34 to 61 ± 34 mg. dt¹ inGroup 1 and from 312 ± 29 to 38 ±21 mg. dt¹ inGroup 2 (P<002 versus Group 1). The same difference betweengroups persisted at the 12th and at the 18th hour. D-dimer values,from 0-5 ± 01 \ig. dl¹ in Group 1 and 04 ±01 fig.dt¹ in Group 2, increased at the 1st hour to 37.2 ± 36.5fig. dt¹ and 52.2 ± 39.8 µg. dl¹, respectively.A peak value was reached in both groups at the 6th hour, whichwas followed by a slow decrease. A significant difference betweenthe two groups (P<0.05) was observed at the 1st, 2nd, 4thand 6th hour. An inverse correlation between maximal changesof fibrinogen and of D-dimer was found in both groups (r= 0.89,P<0.001 in Group 1; r=-0.81, P<0.001 in Group 2). The relationship between D-dimer and fibrinogen variations afterstreptokinase and changes induced by heparin, support the hypothesisthat the decrease of fibrinogen, following thrombolysis, isnot only the consequence of its direct degradation, but alsothe result of its transformation by streptokinase into fibrin,fibrin cross-linked (with facilitation of thrombogenic condition)and then into the stable catabolite, D-dimer. These data confirma thrombogenic effect of streptokinase therapy; this tendencycan be limited by prompt use of high doses of heparin.     

异丙酚预处理对大鼠离体心脏缺血-再灌注损伤的影响

目的 探讨异丙酚预处理对心肌缺血-再灌注(I-R)损伤的作用及其机制。方法 成年雄性 SD 大鼠18只，随机分为对照组(C组)、I-R 组、50μmol/L 异丙酚预处理组(P组)，每组6只。建立Langendorff 离体心脏灌流模型，平衡35min 后 I-R 组和 P 组均停灌30min，然后复灌120min。其中 P 组停灌前用含50μmol/L 异丙酚的 K-H 液灌流10min，并用无异丙酚的 K-H 液冲洗10min。C 组不停灌，也不用异丙酚处理。灌流结束后，制备心肌组织匀浆，测定 NO 含量、总 NOS 及超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性，用免疫组化 SABC 染色检测诱导型 NOS(iNOS)蛋白与血红素氧化酶-1(HO-1)蛋白表达水平，同时行光镜及透射电镜观察。结果病理学显示 C 组正常，I-R 组心肌组织严重损伤，P 组轻度损伤；与C 组相比，I-R 组和 P 组 iNOS、HO-1蛋白表达量和 iNOS 活性均升高，cNOS 活性均降低(P<0.05或0.01)；I-R 组总 NOS 活性和 NO 含量、Cu.Zn-SOD、Mn-SOD 和总 SOD 活性均降低(P<0.05或0.01)，但P 组无变化(P>0.05)。与 I-R 组比较，P 组除 iNOS 活性不变外，其余指标均升高(P<0.05或0.01)。结论 异丙酚预处理对心肌 I-R 损伤具有保护作用，其机制在于抑制或清除氧自由基以降低氧化应激水平，并通过恢复 cNOS 活性而增加 NO 的含量。
