乙醇与乙醛对心脏的影响及其可能机制的探讨

通过研究乙醇、乙醛对离体心脏和神经干的影响,探讨乙醇、乙醛对心脏作用的可能机制.用不同浓度的乙醇和乙醛处理牛蛙蛙心灌流标本和坐骨神经标本,用BL-420 系统对给药前后心脏的心率和振幅以及神经干最小刺激强度作记录.乙醇和乙醛可以引起神经兴奋性的改变从而影响神经冲动的传导,而且其影响具有明显的量效依赖关系,低浓度的乙醇和乙醛能使神经的兴奋性增加,高浓度则降低;乙醇对心脏的心率和振幅均有抑制作用,低浓度的乙醛对心脏心率和振幅有促进作用,高浓度的乙醛对心脏造成不可恢复的损伤.乙醇、乙醛对心脏的影响效果不同,但两者均可直接影响及通过神经而间接影响心脏的活动.

浅析血管迷走性晕厥患者的临床诊治

血管迷走性晕厥是不伴有器质性病变,以心脏神经调节功能异常为主的一种疾病。其临床表现差异大,可见胸痛、胸闷、心悸、头晕、出汗、恶心及晕厥等多种症状,伴心率时快时慢,血压偏低等体征,故疾病指征特异性差,易导致临床误诊及漏诊。其主要发病机制为各种原因引起交感神经兴奋,迷走神经反射性张力增高抑制交感神经过度,而出现的"矫枉过正"现象。随着医疗技术迅速发展,对血管迷走性晕厥的检查技术也越来越多,其中以直立倾斜试验最为常用。治疗上有药物治疗和神经消融,以药物治疗为主。     

应激性心肌病临床表现和诊断及发病机制研究进展

应激性心肌病(SCM)属于临床上较为常见的一种急性心血管病事件,其中心理因素、疾病因素、药物因素以及躯体应激因素等均可诱发该病。SCM患者的主要表现为胸痛,且伴有可逆性左心室功能障碍、心肌损伤标志物水平异常以及心电图异常等,与急性心肌梗死存在高度相似。SCM患者心室造影可见左室心尖部收缩力明显下降,心底部代偿性收缩增强,从而导致患者左室于收缩末期主要形态为圆底窄颈。由于SCM患者的收缩期左室造影形状和日本渔民用以捕捉章鱼的鱼篓相似,因此SCM又被称之为章鱼篓心肌病。本研究主要是通过患者的临床表现、诊断以及发病机制三个方面对SCM的研究进展进行综述,旨在为临床SCM的防治提供参考依据。

神经干细胞向神经元分化调控的研究进展

神经干细胞是一类具有分裂潜能和自更新能力的母细胞,它可以通过对称分裂和不对称分裂方式产生神经组织的各类细胞,包括神经元、星形胶质细胞和少突胶质细胞。中枢神经系统受到损伤后,神经元和胶质细胞的损伤导致了临床症状,内源性神经干细胞的修复作用不大,原因是干细胞的数量有限,微环境的不允许。移植的神经干细胞进入体内后,由于受到多种因素的影响,常保持未分化状态或大部分分化为胶质细胞。神经干细胞向神经元分化的调控机制及其影响因素直接决定神经干细胞源性神经元的比例和神经元之间功能性突触的数量。现就其研究进展做一综述。     

Application of the fourth universal definition of myocardial infarction in clinical practice

Abstract

Purpose: The Fourth Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction (MI) has highlighted the different pathophysiological mechanisms that may lead to ischaemic and non-ischaemic myocardial injury and has emphasised that the diagnosis of myocardial infarction requires the presence of acute myocardial ischaemia in the setting of acute myocardial injury. This case based review intends to illustrate basic principles on how to apply this new, revised definition in clinical practice.

Methods and Results: The distinction between different types of MIs (type 1 or type 2) and the delineation of MI from acute non-ischaemic myocardial injury may be challenging in individual patients, which is illustrated by presenting and discussing real-life routine cases.

Conclusions: Type 1?MI is a consequence of coronary plaque rupture or erosion with intracoronary thrombus formation that is usually apparent on coronary angiography. Plausible triggering mechanisms causing myocardial oxygen supply/demand mismatch must be identified for the diagnosis of type 2?MI and its treatment should focus initially on management of the underlying disease attributable to acute myocardial ischaemia.     

中暑致肝损伤机制的研究进展

中暑是常发生在夏季高温环境或大量运动时的急危重症,可导致包括肝脏在内的多器官功能损害。中暑的发生及发展过程经历了代偿期、急性反应期和失代偿期。近年来国内外关于中暑致肝损伤机制方面的研究表明,中暑致肝脏功能损伤可能与热的直接作用、肝细胞内线粒体功能障碍和级联放大的炎症反应有关,各环节相互促进,最终导致肝脏的损伤。而且,在肝窦内的级联放大炎症反应在中暑致肝损伤中可能起主要作用。因此,本文对近年来中暑的病理生理和中暑致肝损伤机制方面的研究及进展作一综述,为中暑致肝损伤的临床防治提供思路。     

Roles of mitochondrial dynamics modulators in cardiac ischaemia/reperfusion injury

The current therapeutic strategy for the management of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is to return blood flow into the occluded coronary artery of the heart, a process defined as reperfusion. However, reperfusion itself can increase mortality rates in AMI patients because of cardiac tissue damage and dysfunction, which is termed ‘ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury’. Mitochondria play an important role in myocardial I/R injury as disturbance of mitochondrial dynamics, especially excessive mitochondrial fission, is a predominant cause of cardiac dysfunction. Therefore, pharmacological intervention and therapeutic strategies which modulate the mitochondrial dynamics balance during I/R injury could exert great beneficial effects to the I/R heart. This review comprehensively summarizes and discusses the effects of mitochondrial fission inhibitors as well as mitochondrial fusion promoters on cardiac and mitochondrial function during myocardial I/R injury. The comparison of the effects of both compounds given at different time‐points during the course of I/R injury (i.e. prior to ischaemia, during ischaemia and at the reperfusion period) are also summarized and discussed. Finally, this review also details important information which may contribute to clinical practices using these drugs to improve the quality of life in AMI patients.     

Scutellarin protects against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury by suppressing NLRP3 inflammasome activation

BackgroundActivation of NLRP3 inflammasome plays a key role in cardiac dysfunction for acute myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. Scutellarin (Scu) is a flavonoid purified from Erigeron breviscapus. Whether Scu has any influence on the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome in cardiomyocytes remains unknown.PurposeWe aimed to examine the therapeutic effect of Scu on cardiomyocyte ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and its effect on NLRP3 inflammasome in rats with acute myocardial I/R injury and anoxia/reoxygenation (A/R)-induced H9c2 injuries.MethodsHeart injuries were induced through 30 min of ischemia followed by 24 h of reperfusion. Scu was intraperitoneally administered 15 min before vascular ligation. Effects of Scu on cardiac injury were detected by echocardiograms, TTC staining, and histological and immunohistochemical analyses. The effects of Scu on biochemical parameters were analyzed. H9c2 cells were pretreated with different concentrations of Scu for 6 h before A/R exposure. Afterward, cell viability, LDH release, and Hoechst 33342 and peromide iodine double staining were determined. Western blot analyses of proteins, including those involved in autophagy, NLRP3, mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1), and Akt signaling, were conducted.ResultsIn vivo study revealed that Scu improved diastolic dysfunction, ameliorated myocardium structure abnormality, inhibited myocyte apoptosis and inflammatory response, and promoted autophagy. Scu reduced NLRP3 inflammasome activation, inhibited mTORC1 activity, and increased Akt phosphorylation. In vitro investigation showed the same results. The Scu-mediated NLRP3 inflammasome and mTORC1 inhibition and cardioprotection were abolished through the genetic silencing of Akt by siRNA.ConclusionsThe cardioprotective effect of Scu was achieved through its anti-inflammatory effect. It suppressed the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome. In addition, inflammasome restriction by Scu was dependent on Akt activation and mTORC1 inhibition.     

Acute Myocardial Infarction Attributable to Adrenergic Crises in a Patient with Pheochromocytoma and Neurofibromatosis 1

ObjectiveTo describe a rare case of acute myocardial infarction in a patient with neurofibromatosis 1 and pheochromocytoma and to review the literature on the coexistence of these 2 diseases, the causes of myocardial injury in patients with pheochromocytoma, and the utility of genetic testing and pheochromocytoma screening for those patients and their families.MethodsWe present a case report, including the detailed clinical, laboratory, and radiographic data, results of adrenal mass pathology, and results of coronary angiography. We also survey other relevant reports available in the literature.ResultsA 43-year-old woman with a history of longstanding hypertension, neurofibromatosis 1, headaches, sweating, and palpitations presented to the hospital with chest pain and shortness of breath. She was found to have an acute myocardial infarction and pulmonary edema, as well as a right adrenal mass. A pheochromocytoma was suspected, and phenoxybenzamine was added to her treatment regimen. Cardiac catheterization showed nonobstructive coronary disease. The levels of plasma catecholamine metabolites were extremely high. The patient underwent uncomplicated laparoscopic right adrenalectomy 2 weeks after this admission. Surgical pathology confirmed the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma.ConclusionAdrenergic crisis attributable to pheochromocytoma can result in acute myocardial infarction even in the absence of obstructive coronary disease. Inclusion of pheochromocytoma in the differential diagnosis of hypertension in patients with neurofibromatosis is very important and helps avoid mistakes in the management of such patients.

超声心动图评价冠状动脉慢血流现象的应用进展

摘要：冠状动脉慢血流现象(coronary slow flow phenomenon, CSFP)是通过冠状动脉血管造影(coronary angiography, CAG)发现的以冠状动脉内径正常或接近正常的血管远端造影剂显像延迟为特征的冠状动脉血管病变。多数患者心脏无器质性病变,但反复出现各种不同形式的心肌缺血症状,CSFP也可能引发如恶性心律失常、急性心肌梗死等严重的心脏不良事件,因此早期评估CSFP尤为重要。既往多种影像学检查手段价格昂贵、检查时间过长,并且后期随访及疗效评估困难,限制了这类检查在临床上的应用。传统的超声心动图指标难以反映早期心肌损伤,近年来各种超声心动图新技术检查在CSFP的定性、定量研究中都发挥了重要作用,其中斑点追踪成像技术(speckle tracking imaging,STI)更是在安全无创的基础上具有更高的准确性和敏感性。     

Oxidative stress in myocardial ischaemia reperfusion injury: a renewed focus on a long-standing area of heart research

Advances in the treatment of coronary artery disease have seen a significant drop in mortality and morbidity particularly amongst patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI). In particular, percutaneous trans-luminal balloon angioplasty (PTCA) with stenting to re-open atherosclerotic coronary arteries has yielded marked improvement in clinical outcome for patients with acute MI. Furthermore, with the advent of drug-eluting stents occurrence rates for coronary artery restenosis, one common clinical problem associated with angioplasty and stent deployment, have declined markedly. However, coronary restenosis in diabetic patients remains an on-going problem. The success of drug-eluting stents has seen a renewed focus on myocardial ischaemia reperfusion (IR) injury as this represents one area of research where many questions remain unanswered. In particular, the relationship between myocardial IR injury and decreased myocardial micro-vasculature re-flow post PTCA (that ultimately leads to poor clinical outcome and myocardial damage/dysfunction) is one area of research with the potential to decrease current complication rates further in patients suffering myocardial IR injury sustained during MI. This review discusses the role for oxidative stress, oxidant source(s) and both gene regulation and stem-cell therapy as potential strategic targets in the ischaemic myocardium, with the ultimate aim of providing significant cardioprotection in the setting of acute MI.     

Inhibition of semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase attenuates myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in an in vivo rat model

AimsThis study tested the hypothesis that the inhibition of semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) after ischemia could attenuate myocardial ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury.Main methodsAnesthetized male Sprague–Dawley rats underwent myocardial I/R injury. Saline, semicarbazide (SCZ, 30 mg/kg), hydralazine (HYD, 10 mg/kg), or LJP 1207 (30 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally 3 min before reperfusion. After 30 min of ischemia and 180 min of reperfusion, the myocardial infarct size was determined using nitroblue tetrazolium staining. Myocardial myeloperoxidase activity was determined through biochemical assay. HE staining was used for histopathological evaluation. Myocardial SSAO activity was assayed with high performance liquid chromatography analysis. Additionally, the endothelial expression of P-selectin was evaluated using immunohistochemistry after 30 min of ischemia and 20 min of reperfusion.Key findingsMyocardial SSAO activity was increased in myocardial I/R injury. Administration of SCZ, HYD, or LJP 1207 reduced the myocardial infarct size and decreased leukocyte infiltration and endothelial P-selectin expression in myocardial I/R injury in vivo.SignificanceThese data suggest that myocardial I/R injury up-regulates myocardial SSAO activity, and the inhibition of SSAO prior to reperfusion is able to attenuate acute myocardial I/R injury.
