在心脏机械电反馈的研究中准确控制机械刺激是非常重要的。本研究室构建了一套适用于离体家兔心脏的心室压力钳系统。该系统通过计算机控制压力钳,不仅能模拟正常生理条件下左心室的压力波形,还能在心室活动周期的特定时相、以适当波形对心室施加机械刺激。该系统集心脏灌流与起搏、表面心电图记录、单相动作电位记录、心室压力钳制与测定等多种功能于一体,特别适用于器官水平上观察机械电反馈现象并探讨其机制。     

紫杉醇抑制急性心梗大鼠离体心脏牵张诱导的电生理改变

机械敏感性离子通道是心脏机械电反馈的机电传导器, 目前认为其与心律失常的发生有关. 近年来, 细胞骨架对离子通道的调控得到广泛研究. 本实验旨在探讨紫杉醇是否能够抑制牵张缺血心肌所诱导的电生理改变. 32只wistar大鼠随机分为4组: 对照组(n=9)、紫杉醇组(n=7)、心梗组(n=9)和心梗+紫杉醇组(n=7). 经langendorff离体灌流后, 以0.2和0.3 mL的幅度对离体心脏进行牵张, 分别为5 s, 观察牵张效应30 s, 包括90%的单相动作电位、室性早搏和室速. 结果发现, 牵张后, 正常对照组和心梗组MAPD₉₀均延长, 且同等牵张幅度下心梗组MAPD₉₀延长得更为明显. 紫杉醇(5 mmol/L)对于基础状态下的MAPD₉₀无影响. 牵张后, 紫杉醇MAPD₉₀较正常对照组轻度延长(P>0.05). 但紫杉醇可使心梗组心肌牵张后的MAPD₉₀缩短(ΔV=0.3 mL时, P<0.05). 心梗组PVB和VT的发生率高于正常对照组(均P<0.01). 紫杉醇对正常心肌的心律失常发生无影响, 但可抑制梗死心肌PVB和VT的发生(均P<0.01). 综上, 紫杉醇可明显抑制急性心肌梗死离体大鼠心脏牵张时, MAPD的改变和心律失常的发生, 提示紫杉醇可能参与到急性心肌梗死时的机械电反馈过程.     

Ca2+在链霉素对大鼠颈动脉窦压力感受器反射影响中的作用

在23只隔离灌流颈动脉窦区的麻醉大鼠上, 观察了链霉素(streptomycin, SM)对动脉压力感受器反射影响的离子机制.结果: (1) 用SM (200 μmol/L)隔离灌流大鼠颈动脉窦区时, 压力感受器机能曲线向右上方移位, 曲线最大斜率及反射性血压下降幅度均减小(P<0.01), 提示SM对压力感受器反射有抑制作用; (2)预先灌流高Ca2+溶液(4 mmol/L)后, 可部分消除SM (200 μmol/L)对压力感受器反射的抑制作用(P<0.01), 使其压力感受器机能曲线向左下方移位, 曲线的最大斜率由0.27±0.04增至0.37±0.02 (P<0.01), 反射性血压下降幅度由4.32±0.14 kPa增至6.18±0.17 kPa (P<0.01), 而阈压和饱和压则分别从10.29±0.29和27.26±0.42 kPa降至9.98±0.33 和25.22±0.38 kPa (P<0.05); (3) 用Ca2+通道激动剂Bay K 8644 (500 nmol/L)预处理, 可完全消除SM (200 μmol/L)对压力感受器反射的抑制效应; (4)预先给予Ca2+激活性K+通道阻断剂(charybdotoxin, ChTX, 100 nmol/L), 对压力感受器反射无明显影响, 加入SM后仍呈现抑制作用.以上结果表明, SM可能是通过抑制颈动脉窦压力感受器中机械敏感性通道的Ca2+内流而发挥作用.     

FHFs在心律失常中作用及机制的研究进展

成纤维细胞生长因子同源性因子(fibroblast growth factor homologous factors,FHFs)作为一类特殊的成纤维细胞生长因子,因发现其不能分泌到细胞外且可以调节电压依赖性钠通道而倍受关注,先前的研究发现FHFs对神经系统具有重要影响并与多种神经系统疾病有关,最近的研究证明FHFs在心脏中也具有重要作用并可能与某些心律失常的发生相关。本文将通过综述FHFs在蛋白结构、心肌中的表达、对心肌钠、钙通道蛋白的调节、对心肌兴奋性和传导性的影响等方面来重点阐述FHFs在心律失常中的作用及其机制。     

机械牵张力对成骨细胞及骨髓间充质干细胞的作用

牵张成骨过程与通常的骨愈合过程有明显的不同,可以将其解读为牵张和成骨两个方面.骨髓间充质干细胞在一定的条件下可以分化为成骨细胞,而成骨细胞是骨改建的主要效应细胞.作用在两骨段的牵张力促进或激发了成骨细胞和骨髓间充质干细胞的增殖和分化从而实现骨的再生.近年来,关于牵张成骨过程中骨组织的超微结构变化的研究已经相对明了,在力学机制尚未完全明确.本文综述了牵张力对成骨细胞和骨髓间充质干细胞的增殖和分化方面的影响.     

实时三维盆底超声对产后压力性尿失禁患者疗效评估作用及与尿动力学的相关性分析

摘要 目的：探讨实时三维盆底超声对产后压力性尿失禁（SUI）患者疗效评估作用及与尿动力学的相关性。方法：选择2020年4月至2022年12月石家庄市人民医院收治的139例产后SUI患者,均接受盆底生物反馈电刺激联合盆底肌锻炼治疗。治疗前后分别进行实时三维盆底超声检查和尿动力学检查。比较治疗前后实时三维盆底超声参数、尿动力学指标差异。Pearson法分析实时三维盆底超声参数与尿动力学指标的相关性。结果：实时三维盆底超声图像特征显示：治疗前盆膈裂孔内的结构疏松,回声变弱,盆腔器官结缔组织疏松,间隙增宽,盆膈裂孔面积、尿道旋转角、膀胱尿道后角以及膀胱颈移动度较大;治疗后盆膈裂孔两侧耻骨直肠肌对称,耻骨内脏肌呈带状高回声,盆膈裂孔面积、尿道旋转角、膀胱尿道后角以及膀胱颈移动度较治疗前降低。产后SUI患者治疗后静息状态和Valsalva状态下盆膈裂孔面积、尿道旋转角、膀胱尿道后角、膀胱颈移动度均较治疗前降低（P＜0.05）,腹压漏尿点压、最大逼尿肌压力均较治疗前增加（P＜0.05）。产后SUI患者静息状态和Valsalva状态下盆膈裂孔面积、尿道旋转角、膀胱尿道后角、膀胱颈移动度与最大逼尿肌压力、腹压漏尿点压呈负相关（P＜0.05）,与最大膀胱容量和残余尿量无关（P＞0.05）。结论：产后SUI患者经盆底生物反馈电刺激联合盆底肌锻炼治疗后实时三维盆底超声参数较治疗前降低,与尿动力学改善有关。临床可通过实时三维盆底超声检查,对产后SUI患者进行临床疗效评价,以指导临床治疗。     

Ependyma and ependymal protrusions of the lateral ventricles of the rabbit brain

Summary The ependymal lining of the lateral ventricles of the rabbit brain was studied by means of scanning (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). There exist cells devoid of cilia in the anterior horn over the region of the caudate nucleus, in the inferior horn over the hippocampus and on the opposite side over cortical regions. On the surface of some of these ependymal cells, accumulations of cytoplasmic folds and globules can be found. They bulge at different height over the ependymal cells. Clots of these cell particles are tied off from the cell, coming to lie as globules either on or between the cilia of the ependyma. TEM reveals that these tissue protrusions are cell debris consisting of different sized vesicles, cell organelles, tubuli and filaments. They originate from the ependymal layer but may reach down to subependymal cells. Multivesicular protrusions into the ventricular lumen are also observed. Possible causes of these protrusions are discussed; they are likely to be related to the age of the animals.On the ependyma of the caudate nucleus cilia, microvilli, microblebs and supraependymal neuronal cell processes are distributed unevenly over the surface. Within regions where cilia predominate there are cells which are tightly covered with microvilli. A certain direction of the course of the supraependymal neuronal fibers could not be found.The author is pleased to acknowledge useful discussions with Prof. Dr. med. E. van der Zypen. This study was partly supported by the Stanley Thomas Johnson Foundation     

O2 extraction of right and left ventricles.

O2 extraction was measured simultaneously in right and left ventricles of dogs. Extraction was about 2.5 vol% higher in left ventricle. This figure, together with flow measurements of others (1-3), indicates that VO2/100g is at least twice as great in left ventricle as in right.     

The left ventricle proteome differentiates middle-aged and old left ventricles in mice

Middle-aged and old left ventricles (LVs) are structurally and functionally very similar. Compared to a young LV, both show increased wall thickness and increased cavity size, with preserved cardiac function. However, when a stressor such as myocardial infarction occurs, striking differences are revealed between young and old LVs and there is a marked reduction in survival rates for the old group. The objective of this study was to investigate the proteomic basis of age-related changes in the LV of male mice in order to identify proteins that are differentially expressed between middle-aged and old groups and to gain mechanistic insight into effects of aging on the unstressed heart. Young (3 months old; n = 6), middle-aged (MA; 15 months old; n = 6), and old (23 months old; n = 5) LVs were examined by echocardiography, homogenized, and separated into soluble and insoluble protein fractions using differential extraction. We found that the LV mass-to-tibia ratio increased from 6.4 +/- 0.2 mg/mm in young to 11.0 +/- 0.6 and 10.1 +/- 0.7 mg/mm in MA and old, respectively (both p < 0.05 vs young), which was caused by increases in both LV wall thickness and volume. Using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, we detected age-related alterations in the levels of 73 proteins (all p < 0.05). Among these proteins were mortalin, peroxiredoxin 3, epoxide hydrolase, and the superoxide dismutases SOD-1 (Cu/ZnSOD) and SOD-2 (MnSOD), which have been previously associated with aging and/or cardiovascular disease. Together, these results reveal proteomic changes that occur in the LV with age. The proteins identified here may be useful markers of cardiac aging and may help in deducing mechanisms to explain the inability of the old heart to withstand challenge.     

Comparison of gene expression between left atria and left ventricles from non-diseased humans

We examine the reliability and accuracy of gene array technology in analyzing differences in gene expression between human non-diseased left atrium and left ventricle. We have used cDNA gene arrays and validated those data by carefully designed quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). We have identified pitfalls using cDNA gene array technology based on comparisons with other gene array studies and with changes reported for the levels of expression of the genes corresponding to these cDNAs. The high error rate reported here underscores the cautionary comments reported by others in this field.     

Ultramicroscopic organization of the vascular plexus in the rabbit cerebral lateral ventricles and its changes under the effect of pyrogens

By means of electron microscopical methods organization of various components of the vascular plexus in the rabbit cerebral lateral ventricles--ependymal and supraependymal cells, as well as capillaries, making the base of the hemato-encephalic and hemato-liquor barriers of the plexus have been studied. Injection of bacterial pyrogen (pyrogenal) to the animals is accompanied with an increasing permeability in the barriers of the vascular plexus for certain blood cells (lymphocytes, monocytes), their activation and transformation into plasma cells and macrophages. Under pyrogenal effect in the ventricle cavities activation of the supraependymal cells and intensification of their interaction with the underlying ependyma take place. In the ependymal layer local dilatation of intercellular spaces and intensification of exocytic processes are observed. The changes revealed demonstrate an active reaction of some elements of the vascular plexus to fever, dependent on injection of the bacterial pyrogens into the organism.     

Intrinsic indices of the left ventricle as a blood pump in normal and infarcted left ventricles

To assess the left ventricle as a blood pump, data are collected from contrast angiograms and analysed by computer, using two-dimensional finite element analysis, to provide instantaneous distributions of intra-LV flow and differential pressure during the diastolic and ejection phases. Characteristic indices are derived for normal and infarcted LVs, and for cases before and after administration of nitroglycerin. These indices may be used to assess the degree and nature of dysfunction in coronary artery disease.
