正常人及大鼠心脏内皮素转换酶的分布

目的:了解正常人和大鼠心脏各部分内皮素转换酶(Endothelin-conveerting en-zyme,ECE)的分布。方法:采用半定量RT-PCR法检测ECE mRNA表达,同时根据外源性的巨内皮素-1转变为内皮素-1的量判定ECE活性。结果:正常人心脏各部位心肌均存在ECE,ECEmRNA表达和活性的分布特点一致:心房显著高于心室,左、右心房间及左、右心室和室间隔间无显著性差异。大鼠的ECE mRNA表达和活性分布规律与人相似。结论:正常人和大鼠心脏各组分均存在ECE,且两者的分布规律相似。     

Recurrence risk for major congenital heart defects in Sweden: A registry study

During the period 1981–1986, 1605 infants presenting a major congenital heart defect (CHD) were identified in Sweden. Using the personal identification numbers of the mothers, 1507 of them could be linked to the Medical Birth Registry and two controls were selected for each infant. For this total of 4521 infants, 2686 postoccurrence sibs born during the period 1981–1989 were identified from the Medical Birth Registry. The tendency to have one or more sibs was higher among cases than among controls and was correlated to the life status of the proband. This tendency did not vary according to the type of CHD when controlling for life status. The prevalence at birth of CHD was almost four times higher among sibs of CHD infants than among sibs of normal infants. The tendency to have a sib with an extracardiac malformation did not differ between CHD probands and normal probands. The importance of only including births occurring after the proband when evaluating recurrence risks is stressed. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

逆行灌注心脏不停跳心肌保护的实验研究

目的：探讨逆行灌注心脏不停跳心肌保护的效果。方法：中国大白兔32只随机分为4组，每组8只，A组（对照组），B组（心脏不停跳组，血温34℃），C组（温血心脏麻痹液组，血温34℃），D组（冷血心脏麻痹液组，血温4℃）。采用离体兔心左室做功模型，经冠状静脉窦逆行灌注稀释血液或血停搏液60min。比较观察心功能、冠脉排出液心肌酶谱、心肌组织乳酸、心肌细胞内游离钙浓度、心肌细胞膜ATP酶活性、心肌细胞膜脂质过氧化产物丙二醛含量的变化。结果：B组心功能恢复、心肌细胞膜ATP酶活性显著优于C组和D组，C组优于D组；B组心肌酶漏出、乳酸生成量、心肌细胞内游离钙浓度、心肌细胞膜丙二醛（MDA）含量低于C组和D组，C组低于D组。结论：常温氧合血逆灌心脏不停跳良好的心肌保护效果与其减轻自由基损伤，较好地保持细胞内外Ca^2 平衡，减轻细胞内钙超载，保护细胞膜酶功能有关。     

气功对冠心病人CM_5ST段/心率斜率的影响

37名冠心病患者随机分为气功治疗组(22人)和对照组(15人)。气功治疗组接受12周动功治疗,对照组接受安慰剂治疗,治疗前后均测定CM_5 ST段/心率斜率。结果发现动功治疗组CM_5 ST段/心率斜率减少,而对照组不变或增大,两组有显著性差异,ST段下移及常规分级运动试验其它指标在两组间无显著差异。表明CM_5ST段/心率斜率是一个敏感的心肌缺血指标。     

Turbulent stress measurements downstream of three bileaflet heart valve designs in pigs

Objective: Mechanical heart valves can cause thromboembolic complications, possibly due to abnormal flow patterns that produce turbulence downstream of the valve. The objective of this study was to investigate whether three different bileaflet valve designs would exhibit clinically relevant differences in downstream turbulent stresses. Methods: Three bileaflet mechanical heart valves (Medtronic Advantage^®, CarboMedics© Orbis™ Universal and St. Jude Medical^® Standard) were implanted into 19 female 90 kg pigs. Blood velocity was measured during open chest conditions in the cross sectional area downstream of the valves with 10 MHz ultrasonic probes connected to a modified Alfred^® Pulsed Doppler equipment. As a measure of turbulence, Reynolds normal stress (RNS) was calculated at three different cardiac output ranges (3–4, 4.5–5.5, 6–7 L/min). Results: Data from 12 animals were obtained. RNS correlated with increasing cardiac outputs. The highest instantaneous RNS observed in these experiments was 47 N/m², and the mean RNS taken spatially over the cross sectional area of the aorta during systole was between 3 N/m² and 15 N/m². In none of the cardiac output ranges RNS values exceeded the lower critical limit for erythrocyte or thrombocyte damage for any of the valve designs. Conclusions: Reynolds normal stress values were below 100 N/m² for all three valve designs and the difference in design was not reflected in generation of turbulence. Hence, it is unlikely that any of the valve designs causes flow induced damage to platelets or erythrocytes.     

1405例冠状动脉旁路移植、激光心肌血运重建术的临床分析

目的总结冠心病患者行冠状动脉旁路移植术(CABG)和激光心肌血运重建术(TMLR)中的治疗难点、围术期处理要点,以提高冠心病患者的外科治疗效果。方法1997年5月~2006年1月,1405例冠心病患者中在体外循环下行CABG825例,其中单纯CABG666例,CABG+心瓣膜手术98例,CABG+室壁瘤手术55例,CABG+左心房粘液瘤摘除术2例,CABG+室间隔穿孔修补术2例,CABG+升主动脉成形术1例,CABG+纵隔内肿瘤切除术1例;非体外循环下CABG(OPCAB)500例;单纯TMLR30例,CABG+TMLR50例。结果每例移植旁路血管2.9±1.0支。住院死亡42例(3.0%),死亡原因包括出血、心肌梗死、低心排血量综合征、肾功能衰竭、多器官功能衰竭等。术后发生并发症70例,包括出血、低心排血量综合征、心肌梗死、肾功能不全等,均经积极的对症处理后治愈或好转。术前心绞痛(CCS)为~级的1177例患者中,术后1154例(98.0%)改善为0~级。术后随访857例(62.9%),随访时间8.3±2.9个月。随访6个月时788例(91.9%)无心绞痛发作,复查超声心动图提示:左心室射血分数0.66±0.10,较术前提高7.9%,生活质量较术前大为提高。结论CABG已成为治疗冠心病最有效的常规手术,只要能正确掌握适应证,有效地加强围术期管理,便可以扩大手术适应证范围,降低手术死亡率和并发症发生率,提高手术疗效。

ANTIHYPERTENSIVE EFFECTS OF MESULERGINE: FURTHER EVIDENCE FOR A PERIPHERAL SITE OF ACTION OF DOPAMINE AGONISTS

The cardiovascular effects of mesulergine were studied in anesthetized dogs. Intravenous (IV) administration (0.3 mg/kg) significantly decreased blood pressure in neurogenic hypertensive dogs without any change in heart rate. This effect was completely antagonized by IV administration of domperidone (0.5 mg/kg). Intracisternal administration of mesulergine (0.03, 0.3 and 3 mg/kg) did not produce any change in blood pressure. However, with the highest dose we observed a significant rise in heart rate during the first 2 min (which was probably nonspecific). These results suggest that mesulergine lowers blood pressure in sinoaortic-denervated dogs by means of a peripheral mechanism probably involving DA2 receptors. The findings confirm the potential interest of dopamine-receptor agonists as future antihypertensive agents.
