      Abstract:Objective To investigate whether measurement of serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI) could aid in the diagnosis and the evaluation of progress of viral myocarditis(VMC). Methods The cTnI of serum samples from 282 patients with clinical diagnosis of VMC were determined with ELISA using 2B1.9 and 2F6.6 monoclonal antibodies. The effect of the serum from 25 patients who had sustained high level of cTnI on the capacity and affinity of cardiac muscarinic receptor was evaluated with[3H-QNB] and frozen sliced human cardium. EVs RNA , mutation of mitochondrium DNA(mtDNA) in lymphocyte and cardiac biopsy specimen were assayed by the method of PCR. CVB IgM and neutralizing antibody titer were measured in part of patients. Results The level of serum cTnI in 157 of 282 patients was higher than the upper normal limit (>7.1 μg/L), the positive rate being 55.7%. The rate of cTnI level returning to the normal range was 52.3%and 90.8%, in 3 months and 6 months respectively. The serum from the patients with sustained cTnI elevation inhibited the capacity and affinity of human cardiac M receptor, which resulted in downregulation and desensitization of the receptor; these reactions were similar to those of the serum from patient with dilated cardiomyopathy(DCM). The mutation frequency of mtDNA in lymphocyte and cardiac biopsy specimen in VMC cases were 15.8 and 2.5 times higher than that in normal subjects. The duration of CVB IgM present in serum was much longer and the rates of symptom improvement and arrhythmia disappearance were significantly lower in the patients with higher serum cTnI than in those with normal level cTnI. Conclusion Elevation of serum cTnI seemed to be a good marker for the presence of myocardial injury in VMC patients. Sustained high level of serum cTnI in VMC patients might suggest the development of autoimmune antibodies, cardiac receptor injury and the higher frequency of mtDNA mutation that possibly contributed to DCM process.

Methods: A full-length ANF cDNA was amplified from human embryo brain by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). It was cloned into plasmid pcDNA3 to form the pcDNA3/ANF construct. An inflated balloon (4.0 mm) at 4-6 ATM were drawn forth and back in left common carotid for 3-4 times in 30 New Zealand white rabbits for making carotid injury model. The rabbits were divided into 3 groups according to the time interval after arterial injury: the 3 days′ group, the 8 days′ group and the 21 days′ group. There were 6 rabbits for gene transferrence, 4 rabbits for control in each group. At the same time, pcDNA3/ANF coated with Tfx-50 liposome (at a charge ratio of Tfx50 Reagent to DNA of 3∶1)was transferred into the injured artery for 45 minutes , while cell culture media 199 of the same volume was injected in the control groups. The liquid was drawn back after transfection. The existence of ANF cDNA, the expression of ANF gene products and its effect on injury carotid were tested at 3, 8 and 21 days after transfection using Southern blot, dot blot, radio-immunology assay and histological sections respectively.Results: There were the ANF mRNA expression and the ANF gene existence at the gene transferring groups after delivery of hANF cDNA with the level of mRNA expression and gene existence slightly decline in 21 days group. The number of intima cells decreased by 28%compared with control group 3 days after transfection (P < 0.05). The neointima area decreased by 52%8 days after transfection (P<0.01), and decreased by 8.6%21 days after delivery (P<0.05), with no change after delivery 30 days. PcDNA3/ANF gene transfer had no effect on media area. The content of ANF in plasma showed a tendency to rise without statistical significance. Conclusion: pcDNA3/ANF coated with liposome Tfx-50 gene transfer inhibits hyperplasia of smooth musle cell and neointimal development after carotid injury.

      Abstract:Objective Using mutagenically separated allele-specific polymerase-chain-reaction (MS-PCR) technique to determine the correlation between angiotensinogen gene M235T (Ag TM235T) polymorphism and the onset of familial essential hypertension in the population from Jiangsu and Anhui Provinces. Methods (1) Establish and compare the optimal reaction system of PCR-RFLP and MS-PCR technique to detect AgTM235T polymorphism. (2) All subjects were divided into four groups: 62 patients with both hypertension and familial background (FH), 32 normal persons who had familial background (FNH), 26 persons in control group (N) and 10 patients with hypertension but without familial background (NFH group). The genotype of all subjects was determined by MS-PCR technique.Results (1) The frequency of T allele in PCR-RFLP was 0.5, much lower than 0.95 in MS-PCR, which was demonstrated by DNA sequencing. (2) The TT-genotype and the frequency of T allele (TT/T) in FH and FNH groups were much higher than those in N and NFH groups (0.581/0.766 and 0.563/0.766 vs 0.346/0.577 and 0.40/0.550, P<0.005). (3) Persons developing hypertension in FNH group were much younger than other three groups (28.07±9.72 , P<0.025). Conclusion (1) Compared with PCR-RFLP, MS-PCR is a rapid, simple and reliable technique for detection gene polymorphism of Ag TM25T. (2) In Jiangsu and Anhui area, the present study confirms the observation of a higher frequency of the 235T allele of the angiotensinogen gene in hypertension and identifies individuals with family history. Concerning of the age, we might speculate that the AgTM235T polymorphism is only associated with familial essential hypertension.

      Abstract:Objective To describe the association between apolipoprotein E alleles, dyslipidemia, and coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods Using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) the restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), we studied the apolipoprotein E genotypes in 142 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and 131 age-matched healthy subjects, as well as the association between apolipoprotein, plasma lipids, and CHD. Results Compared with the E3 allele, the E4 allele was associated with elevated total cholesterol (TC) values (average increase about 0.32-0.58 mmol/L), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) values, and apolipoprotein B (APOB). The E2 allele has opposite effects (average decrease about 0.34-0.61 mmol/L at TC). Both in cases and controls, the allelic frequency of E3/3 was highest, reaching 67.8%of whole volume, hemozygote of apo E3 was moderate, and homozygote E4/4 was low, E2/2 and E4/2 were rare. The frequencies of E3/4 and E4/4 were significantly higher in patients with CAD compared with controls (P<0.001).Conclusion Apolipoprotein E alleles are important genetic markers for dyslipidemia and CHD.The carrier of E4 gene was the risk factor of CHD.

      Abstract:Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of mycophenolate mofetil(MMF) with low dose CsA for chronic rejection in primary cadaveric renal recipients. Methods A total of 8 renal recipients who were clinically diagnosed as chronic rejection were given triimmunosuppressive agents: MMF 1.5~2.0 g/d+ CsA 2 to 3 mg/kg*d-1 and pred 10 mg/d.Results Blood creatinine reduced to normal level and urine protein disappeared in five cases, blood creatinine and urine protein decreased obviously in two cases, and kidney function deteriorated in another patient 4 to 9 weeks after this strategy. No acute rejection episodes or liver damage occurred among these patients during treatment. White blood cells reduced in one case, but it improved after therapy. Conclusion  MMF combined with low dose CsA can bring a considerable efficacy in reversing chronic rejection of renal recipients. This immunosuppressive strategy may be a useful routine in the treatment of chronic rejection.

      Abstract:Objective To analyze the clinic characteristics of varicella zoster myocarditis and to determine the diagnostic value of serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI ) on the disease. Methods Information of 58 hospitalized patients with varicella zoster was collected, and the incidence of varicella zoster myocarditis and clinic characteristics (ECG, cTnI, age and sex distribution, etc. ) were analyzed respectively. Results It was found that 36.2%of the patients developed myocarditis. The old and female persons were much more susceptible to varicella zoster myocarditis. All patients had responsive ECG manifestations, and the abnormal ST-T changes were more common than other ECG abnormalities. CTnI remained higher than normal and had significant diagnostic value. Most of the patients had good prognosis, only a few patients lasted a long time and even progressed into cardiomyopathy. Nearly all the patients came to see dermatologists when they felt ill initially. That would lead to more misdiagnosis. Conclusion Infection of varicella zoster can complicate myocarditis, we must pay more attention to the patients who suffer from varicella zoster especially in the aged and female; cTnI is an important and effective index for diagnosis of varicella zoster myocarditis.

      Abstract:Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect and the mechanism of dextran microsphere hepatic artery embolization for hepatoma. Methods Partial hepatectomy was performed in 11 patients with hepatoma pretreated with dextran microsphere hepatic artery embolization. All specimens were for histopathologic studies in order to observe the destiny of dextran microspheres and necrotic degree of the tumor. Results complete necrosis of the tumor was found in seven cases and incomplete necrosis of the tumor in the rest 4. Tumors in the later were near to areas rich in arterial collateral anastomoses. The extent of tumor necrosis was unrelated to the presence and thickness of tumor capsule and capsular invasions. Dextran microspheres could cause permanent embolization of distal arterioles. The microspheres were very biocompatible and cause little foreign body reaction. No inflammatory changes were seen both inside and outside of the embolized artery 191 days after embolization. Dextran microspheres were not absorbed and the vessel recanalization was also not seen. Dextran microsphere was not found in portal veins. Conclusion Some hepatomas distant from the collateral circulation of arteries could be cured with dextran microsphere hepatic artery embolization alone.

      Abstract:Objective To investigate the effect of thrombin on periventricular tissue. Methods Thrombin solution (10U/10μl) was infused into the ventricles of rats. Then, the local cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability in the area of basal ganglia and thalamus were measured. In separate experiments neurons were cultured in the medium with thrombin, and lactate dehydrogenase was determined. Results The thrombin induced blood-brain barrier disruption and neuron death in the culture, whereas cerebral blood flow did not drop to the injury level. Conclusion Periventricular tissue damage suffering from the thrombin and blood-brain barrier disruption and cell toxicity could elicit pathological mechanisms.
