迷走神经与乙酰胆碱对缩窄的犬冠状动脉节段阻力的影响

在麻醉开胸犬,用电起搏维持心率恒定,研究了电刺激颈迷走神经(VNS)及冠状动脉内注入乙酰胆碱(ACh)对缩窄的冠状动脉的节段阻力及血流量的影响。在左旋支主干造成不同程度的冠状动脉缩窄。分别测定左旋支血流量(CBF_(cx))、主动脉压和主旋支远端冠状动脉压,记录心电图。实验发现,在冠状动脉临界狭窄和重度狭窄时,VNS 或冠脉给ACh 引起心外膜大冠状动脉阻力及冠状动脉主旋支总阻力增大,CBF_(cx)减少;随着缩窄程度加重,这些改变也愈明显,然而,心肌内小冠状动脉阻力却无显著改变。

Ultrastructural localization of nitric oxide synthase and endothelin in coronary and pulmonary arteries of newborn rats

This is the first report on the ultrastructural distribution of nitric oxide synthase and endothelin immunoreactivities in the coronary and pulmonary arteries of newborn Wistar rats. The distribution of nitric oxide synthase and endothelin was investigated using pre-embedding peroxidase-antiperoxidase immunocytochemistry. In both arteries examined, positive labelling for nitric oxide synthase was localized both in the endothelium and smooth muscle, whereas positive labelling for endothelin was localized in the endothelium exclusively. In the coronary artery, approximately 80% and 55% of the endothelial cells examined were positive for nitric oxide synthase and endothelin, respectively, whereas in the pulmonary artery, 77% and 60% of the endothelial cells were positive for nitric oxide synthase and endothelin, respectively. These findings indicate that nitric oxide synthase and endothelin are colocalized in some of the endothelial cells of the newborn rat. In the endothelium, nitric oxide synthase and endothelin immunoreactivities were distributed throughout the cell cytoplasm and in association with the membranes of intracellular organelles. In smooth muscle, a relationship of nitric oxide synthase immunoreactivity to endoplasmic reticulum was observed in the pulmonary artery. In summary, in the newborn rat, endothelial cells of the coronary and pulmonary artery are rich in nitric oxide synthase (neuronal isoform) and endothelin, and it is suggested therefore that they may be substantially involved in vasomotor control of the cardiac and pulmonary circulation during early stages of postnatal development.     

Neuropeptide Y modulates the action of vasodilator agents in guinea-pig epicardial coronary arteries

Recently, we have demonstrated that guinea-pig epicardial coronary arteries are supplied by numerous nerve fibres containing neuropeptide Y (NPY) immunoreactivity. However, examination of vasomotor responses revealed that NPY did not elicit a contractile response in these arteries. In contrast, acetylcholine (ACh), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), substance P and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) all relaxed precontracted arteries. In the present study, we have used histochemical, immunohistochemical and in vitro pharmacological techniques, in order to further investigate the possible role of NPY in guinea-pig epicardial coronary arteries. A double-immunofluorescence staining technique revealed that CGRP and substance P were co-localized in nerve fibres distinct from those displaying NPY immunoreactivity. Furthermore, using a method combining immunofluorescence and histochemical techniques, we observed that putative cholinergic nerve fibres (identified by their acetylcholinesterase content) and NPY-immunoreactive nerve fibres are two different nerve populations. An in vitro pharmacological method demonstrated that NPY markedly inhibited the relaxant responses mediated by ACh, VIP, substance P and isoprenaline but had no effect on CGRP. These results suggest that NPY-containing nerves associated with guinea-pig epicardial coronary arteries may be predominantly involved in modulating the action of vasodilator agents.     

血清同型半胱氨酸、叶酸、维生素B12水平与冠状动脉病变严重程度的相关性分析

摘要 目的：探讨血清同型半胱氨酸(homocysteine, Hcy)、叶酸、维生素B12水平与冠状动脉病变严重程度的相关性。方法：选取经冠脉造影检查确诊的稳定期冠心病患者220例为研究组,并以同期健康查体志愿者100例为对照组。检测和比较两组血清Hcy、叶酸、维生素B12和N -末端脑钠肽前体(N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide precursor,NT-proBNP)水平。研究组根据冠脉造影情况进行SYNTAX评分评价,通过心脏超声检查检测左室射血分数(left ventricular ejection fraction,LVEF),确定冠脉病变严重程度。比较研究组SYNTAX低分组(1～22分)、中分组(23～32分)和高分组(≥33分)患者上述各指标水平,并分析研究组血清Hcy、叶酸、维生素B12水平与其血清NT-proBNP 水平、SYNTAX评分和LVEF的关系。结果：与对照组比较,研究组血清Hcy和NT-proBNP水平升高而血清叶酸、维生素B12水平降低(P＜0.05)。研究组SYNTAX评分和LVEF分别为(28.76±6.58)分和(47.33±8.66)%,SYNTAX中分和高分患者血清Hcy和NT-proBNP水平高于SYNTAX低分患者而血清叶酸、维生素B12水平和LVEF则低于SYNTAX低分患者,SYNTAX高分患者血清Hcy和NT-proBNP水平高于SYNTAX中分患者而血清叶酸、维生素B12水平和LVEF则低于SYNTAX中分患者(P＜0.05)。Pearson线性相关分析结果显示研究组血清Hcy水平与其血清NT-proBNP 水平、SYNTAX评分均呈正相关(r=0.881,0.793,P＜0.05),与其LVEF则呈负相关(r=-0.876,P＜0.05);而其血清叶酸、维生素B12水平与其血清NT-proBNP 水平、SYNTAX评分均呈负相关(叶酸：r=-0.786,-0.825;维生素B12：r=-0.884,-0.818,P＜0.05),与其LVEF则呈正相关(r=0.893,0.859,P＜0.05)。结论：血清Hcy是冠心病的重要危险因素,其水平随着冠状动脉病变程度加重而升高;血清叶酸、维生素B12是冠心病的保护因素,其水平随着冠状动脉病变程度加重而降低。     

1D-CADCapsNet: One dimensional deep capsule networks for coronary artery disease detection using ECG signals

PurposeCardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of death globally. Electrocardiogram (ECG), which records the electrical activity of the heart, has been used for the diagnosis of CVD. The automated and robust detection of CVD from ECG signals plays a significant role for early and accurate clinical diagnosis. The purpose of this study is to provide automated detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) from ECG signals using capsule networks (CapsNet).MethodsDeep learning-based approaches have become increasingly popular in computer aided diagnosis systems. Capsule networks are one of the new promising approaches in the field of deep learning. In this study, we used 1D version of CapsNet for the automated detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) on two second (95,300) and five second-long (38,120) ECG segments. These segments are obtained from 40 normal and 7 CAD subjects. In the experimental studies, 5-fold cross validation technique is employed to evaluate performance of the model.ResultsThe proposed model, which is named as 1D-CADCapsNet, yielded a promising 5-fold diagnosis accuracy of 99.44% and 98.62% for two- and five-second ECG signal groups, respectively. We have obtained the highest performance results using 2 s ECG segment than the state-of-art studies reported in the literature.Conclusions1D-CADCapsNet model automatically learns the pertinent representations from raw ECG data without using any hand-crafted technique and can be used as a fast and accurate diagnostic tool to help cardiologists.
