Objective To observe the effect of BMSCs on the cardiac function in diabetes mellitus (DM) rats through injecting BMSCs into the ventricular wall of the diabetic rats and investigate its mechanism. Methods BMSCs isolated from male SD rats (3-4 months old) were cultured in vitro, and the cells at passage 5 underwent DAPI label ing. Thirty clean grade SD inbred strain male rats weighing about 250 g were randomized into the normal control group (group A), the DM group (group B), and the cell transplantation group (group C). The rats in groups B and C received high fat forage for 4 weeks and the intraperitoneal injection of 30 mg/kg streptozotocin to made the experimental model of type II DM. PBS and DAPI-labeledpassage 5 BMSCs (1 × 105/μL, 160 μL) were injected into the ventricular wall of the rats in groups B and C, respectively. After feeding those rats with high fat forage for another 8 weeks, the apoptosis of myocardial cells was detected by TUNEL, the cardiac function was evaluated with multi-channel physiology recorder, the myocardium APPL1 protein expression was detected by Western blot and immunohistochemistry test, and the NO content was detected by nitrate reductase method. Group C underwent all those tests 16 weeks after taking basic forage. Results In group A, the apoptosis rate was 6.14% ± 0.02%, the AAPL1 level was 2.79 ± 0.32, left ventricular -dP/dt (LV-dP/dt) was (613.27 ± 125.36) mm Hg/s (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa), the left ventricular end-diastol ic pressure (LVEDP) was (10.06 ± 3.24) mm Hg, and the NO content was (91.54 ± 6.15) nmol/mL. In group B, the apoptosis rate was 45.71% ± 0.04%, the AAPL1 level 1.08 ± 0.24 decreased significantly when compared with group A, the LVdP/ dt was (437.58 ± 117.58) mm Hg/s, the LVEDP was (17.89 ± 2.35) mm Hg, and the NO content was (38.91±8.67) nmol/mL. In group C, the apoptosis rate was 27.43% ± 0.03%, the APPL1 expression level was 2.03 ± 0.22, the LV -dP/dt was (559.38 ± 97.37) mm Hg/ s, the LVEDP was (12.55 ± 2.87) mm Hg, and the NO content was (138.79 ± 7.23) nmol/ mL. For the above mentioned parameters, there was significant difference between group A and group B (P lt; 0.05), and between group B and group C (P lt; 0.05). Conclusion BMSCs transplantation can improve the cardiac function of diabetic rats. Its possible mechanismmay be related to the activation of APPL1 signaling pathway and the increase of NO content.

To study the effect of oxidative stress on the rats with alcoholic cardiomyopathy. Methods Fortyfive male and healthy SD rats were randomly divided into the control group (20 rats) and model group (25 rats).The alcoholic concentrate in model group was increased from 5%,10%,20% to 30% every week, and maintain free drinking mass concentration of 36% alcohol. The control group drink the same calories of glucose water. Six months later, the myocardial tissues were observed both in light microscope and electron microscope .The level of MDA、SOD and MT were tested in myocardium tissue. Results In the model rats, the cells of myocardial disarray, interstitial congestion, inflammatory cell infiltration, mitochondrial swelling, vacuole formation, melt filaments, irregular nuclear membrane and nucleolus cracking. The content of MDA incresed(Plt;0.01)and the activities of SOD decreased(Plt;001),levels of MT decreased (Plt;0.01) in the cardiac muscular tissues in the model group compared with the control group. Conclusion Longterm intake of large amounts of alcohol can break the balance of oxygen free radicals, which leading to the damage of myocardial. Oxidative stress plays an important role in the etiopathogenesis of alcoholic cardiomyopathy.
Objective To compare the effect of palliative mitral valve surgeries and medication therapies for secondary non-ischemic mitral regurgitation. Methods The clinical data of patients with non-ischemic functional mitral regurgitation treated in our hospital between 2009 and 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)＜40% underwent a dobutamine stress test, and a positive result was determined when the LVEF improved by more than 15% compared to the baseline value. Positive patients were divided into a surgery group and a medication group. The surgery group underwent surgical mitral valve repair or replacement, while the medication group received simple medication treatment. Follow-up on survival and cardiac function status through outpatient or telephone visits every six months after surgery, and patients underwent cardiac ultrasound examination one year after surgery. The main research endpoint was a composite endpoint of all-cause death, heart failure readmission, and heart transplantation, and the differences in cardiac function and cardiac ultrasound parameters between the two groups were compared. ResultsUltimately 41 patients were collected, including 28 males and 13 females with an average age of 55.5±11.1 years. Twenty-five patients were in the surgery group and sixteen patients in the medication group. The median follow-up time was 16 months, ranging 1-96 months. The occurrence of all-cause death in the surgery group was lower than that in the medication group (HR=0.124, 95%CI 0.024-0.641, P=0.034). The difference between the two groups was not statistically significant in the composite endpoint (HR=0.499, 95%CI 0.523-1.631, P=0.229). The New York Heart Association (NYHA) grade of the surgery group was better (NYHA Ⅰ-Ⅱ accounted for 68.0% in the surgury group and 18.8% in the medication group, P<0.01) as well as the grade of mitral valve regurgitation (87.5% of the patients in the medication group had moderate or above regurgitation at follow-up, while all the patients in the surgery group had moderate below regurgitation, P<0.01). There was no statistical difference in preoperative and follow-up changes in echocardiograph parameters between the two groups (P＞0.05). Conclusion For non-ischemic functional mitral regurgitation, if the cardiac systolic function is well reserved, mitral valve surgery can improve survival and quality of life compare to simple medication therapy.

Objective To explore the application value of echocardiography in the differential diagnosis of Fabry disease and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Methods Baseline data and echocardiographic parameters of Fabry disease patients and HCM patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University between January 2022 and January 2024 were selected and compared between groups. The diagnostic ability for Fabry disease and HCM was analyzed using receiver operating characteristic curves and area under the curve (AUC). Results A total of 16 Fabry disease patients and 41 HCM patients were included. The Fabry disease group had lower age, body mass index, proportion of electrocardiogram abnormalities, and smoking history than the HCM group (P<0.05); the Fabry disease group had a longer medical history than the HCM group (P<0.05). The maximum thickness of the left ventricular myocardium and the ascending aortic diameter in the Fabry group were both smaller than those in the HCM group (P<0.05). The e-peak velocity in the Fabry group was greater than that in the HCM group (P<0.05). For the differential diagnosis of Fabry disease and HCM, the AUC for the e-peak velocity was 0.698 [95% confidence interval (0.502, 0.894), P<0.05], sensitivity was 41.7%, specificity was 100%, and Youden index was 41.7%. When the three factors were combined, both sensitivity and accuracy were significantly higher than the e-peak. The AUC was 0.773 [95% confidence interval (0.585, 0.961), P<0.05], with a sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 45.5%. There were no statistically significant differences in the 2D-speckle tracking imaging echocardiography parameters between the two groups, including global longitudinal strain of the left ventricle, strain of the apical segment, strain of the basal segment, and so on (P>0.05). Conclusion Echocardiography may have certain significance in the diagnosis of Fabry disease and HCM.
ObjectiveTo analyze the clinical characteristics of thrombo embolism (TE) in Chinese hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients. MethodsThis study retrospectively analyzed HCM patients admitted to West China Hospital of Sichuan University. The endpoints were defined as a composite of TE events, including ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack, and peripheral arterial embolization. ResultsA total of 537 HCM patients were included with a median follow-up of 4.2 years. Forty-two patients reached the TE endpoint and the incidence was 1.9%. The annual incidence of TE was approximately 1.1% and 6.6% for HCM patients without/with atrial fibrillation, respectively. The recurrence rate of TE was high (approximately 26.2%). The mean age was 66.4±13.7 years for the first TE, and the incidence of TE was significantly increased at age ≥70 years. ConclusionThe incidence of TE is high in HCM patients, especially in those with atrial fibrillation, and the recurrence rate of TE is also high.
