Lipoprotein (a) levels in those with high molecular weight apo (a) isoforms may remain low in a significant proportion of patients with end-stage renal disease.

BACKGROUND: Studies have reported an increase in median Lipoprotein (Lp) (a) in patients with high molecular weight (HMW) apolipoprotein (apo) (a) isoforms and renal impairment. Some studies identify Lp (a) levels as a risk factor for vascular disease in renal failure whilst others have demonstrated an association with apo (a) isoform type and vascular disease. METHODS: A total of 239 patients at end-stage renal failure (ESRF) were studied prior to the initiation of dialysis. Blood was taken for Lp (a) levels and apo (a) isoforms. Clinical vascular disease (CVD) was assessed on the basis of clinical history and Rose questionnaire. The control group for Lp (a) levels consisted of 228 healthy volunteers. RESULTS: Despite a higher median Lp (a) level in those with HMW isoforms, 30% of patients had Lp (a) levels <10 mg/dl. Overall, 49% patients were identified as having CVD. Diabetes, smoking history and Lp (a) levels were significantly associated with CVD in logistic regression analysis, although when patients with low molecular weight (LMW) and HMW isoforms were analysed separately, Lp (a) levels were not significantly associated with CVD in those with LMW isoforms. The rates of CVD in those with HMW isoform and low Lp (a) levels were significantly lower than those with HMW isoforms and elevated Lp (a) levels, 34 vs 57% (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Although median Lp (a) levels in those patients at ESRF with HMW isoforms are higher than controls, in a third of such patients Lp (a) levels remain relatively low. These patients have lower rates of CVD than those with high levels of Lp (a).     

High-resolution myocardial perfusion mapping in small animals in vivo by spin-labeling gradient-echo imaging.

An ECG and respiration-gated spin-labeling gradient-echo imaging technique is proposed for the quantitative and completely noninvasive measurement and mapping of myocardial perfusion in small animals in vivo. In contrast to snapshot FLASH imaging, the spatial resolution of the perfusion maps is not limited by the heart rate. A significant improvement in image quality is achieved by synchronizing the inversion pulse to the respiration movements of the animals, thereby allowing for spontaneous respiration. High-resolution myocardial perfusion maps (in-plane resolution=234 x 468 microm2) demonstrating the quality of the perfusion measurement were obtained at 4.7 T in a group of seven freely breathing Wistar-Kyoto rats under isoflurane anesthesia. The mean perfusion value (group average +/- SD) was 5.5 +/- 0.7 ml g(-1)min(-1). In four animals, myocardial perfusion was mapped and measured under cardiac dobutamine stress. Perfusion increased to 11.1 +/- 1.9 ml g(-1)min(-1). The proposed method is particularly useful for the study of small rodents at high fields.     

21例心内直视术后急性心包填塞的临床分析

目的:分析21例心内直视术后急性心包填塞的临床特点,探讨其发生原因、预防、救治及其二次开胸的早期指征。方法:对1991年1月-2005年12月心内直视术(共1096例)后21例急性心包填塞二次开胸(发生率1．92％)病例进行总结分析。结果:急性心包填塞患者经二次剖胸解除心包填塞后17例痊愈出院,4例死亡,二次剖胸手术死亡率为19．05％。二次剖胸手术者所患疾病包括先天性心脏病6例,瓣膜病13例,大血管手术1例,心脏移植1例。结论:减少心内直视术后出血、渗血是避免术后发生急性心包填塞的关键,早期诊断并尽早行二次剖胸手术可明显降低围手术期死亡率。

双腔右心室(附四例报告)

本文对我院1983～1985年经手术证实的4例双腔右心室病例,进行了分析讨论。本病除右心导管检查发现肺动脉与右心室有压力阶差移行曲线、右心造影时心腔内显示充盈缺损、超声心动图等检查有助于诊断外,X线心脏平片、心电图、临床症状、体征均无特异性的诊断价值。认为,由于本病多合并室缺,因此对室缺修补时,应常规探查右心室腔,以免漏诊。另外,对本病与法乐氏四联症的鉴别作了较详细的讨论。     

Heart rate response to breathing: dependency upon breathing pattern

Summary. Heart rate responses to stepwise and periodic changes in lung volume were studied in seven young healthy males. Stepwise inspiration and expiration both resulted in an increase in heart rate followed by a rapid decrease in heart rate. The fastest heart rate was reached in 1·6 ± 0·5 s and in 3·6 ± 1·4 s in response to inspiration and expiration, respectively (P < 0·01). The slowest heart rate was reached in 4·8± 1·0 s and in 7·6± 1·9 s in response to inspiration and expiration, respectively (P < 0·01). Following this biphasic change the heart rate returned to a steady level. The difference between the fastest and the slowest heart rates was significantly larger in response to inspiration (21·7 ± 7·3 beats per minute) than in response to expiration (12·0±7·3 beats per minute; P < 0·01). Periodic changes in lung volume were performed with frequencies from 3·0 to 12·0 respirations per minute (r.p.m.). The changes in heart rate showed a constant amplitude in the frequency range below 5·5 r.p.m. Maximal heart rate changes were found at frequencies of 5·5 to 7·0 r.p.m. Changes in heart rate decreased in a linear manner on a log-log scale in the frequency range above 7·0 r.p.m. The relation between frequency and changes in heart rate is explained by interference between the transient changes in heart rate induced both by inspiration and by expiration. It is concluded that if heart rate changes in response to periodic changes in lung volume are to be used as a measure of vagal function a number of factors have to be taken into consideration and to simplify the analysis of heart rate responses to breathing we recommend, instead, the use of the transient changes in heart rate induced by stepwise changes in lung volume.
