RESUMO
Objective@#To explore the effect of C1q / tumor necrosis factor-related protein 9 ( CTRP9 ) on the expression of genes and proteins related to lipid metabolism of brown adipose tissue (BAT) in mice after cold stimulation.@*Methods @#C57BL /6J male mice were injected with adenovirus Ad-GFP (control group) or Ad-CTRP9 ( experience group) into the scapular region and kept for 7 days.After cold stimulation at 4 ℃ for 10 hours,the expression levels of BAT marker genes and proteins were detected by real time PCR and Western blot. @*Results@#Overexpression of CTRP9 induced by cold stimulation significantly increased the mRNA level of iodothyronine deiodinase 2 (Dio2) in BAT (P<0. 01) .Additionally,there was no significant difference in the expression of BAT marker genes ( UCP-1,PGC-1 α , PRDM16 and ARβ3) ,and liposynthesis and lipolysis related genes (PPARγ , HSL and ATGL) .Uncoupling protein 1 (UCP-1) protein expression was upregualted in Ad-CTRP9 compared to the Ad-GFP control group ,while the expression of lipolysis related protein adipose triglyceride lipase ( ATGL) decreased significantly (P<0. 05) .@*Conclusion@#In cold environment,overexpression of CTRP9 promotes the accumulation of UCP-1 protein in BAT,upregulates the expression of thyroid hormone signal related gene Dio2,and inhibits triglyceride hydrolysis to maintain a constant body temperature.
RESUMO
@#Objective To summarize the effectiveness of Bentall procedure through the right anterior mini-incision. Methods The clinical data of patients who underwent Bentall via right anterior mini-incision from September 2020 to September 2021 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University were retrospectively analyzed. Results A total of 14 males with an average age of 55.1±9.3 years and body mass index of 24.7±2.8 kg/m2 were enrolled. The cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time was 185.6±32.9 min, the aortic cross-clamping (ACC) time was 144.8±30.3 min, the ventilation time was 18.1±13.5 h, the time in the intensive care unit was 3.7±1.8 d, and the hospital stay time was 13.4±1.6 d. Postoperative complications occurred in 5 patients: 3 patients of pleural effusion, 1 patient of pericardial effusion and 1 patient of postoperative bleeding with secondary thoracotomy hemostasis. The median follow-up time was 4 (2, 6) months. There was no mortality in the hospital or during the follow-up. As for the learning curve, the ACC time, CPB time and operation time were significantly shortened after four cases (P<0.05).

RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the effect of L-carnitine on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) operation.Methods:The clinical data of 60 patients who had underwent CABG under extracorporeal circulation in Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Medical College of Xi′an Jiaotong University from January 2015 to December 2017 was retrospectively analyzed. L-carnitine was infused into the patients in the observation group while the equal amount of normal saline was given to the patients in the control group during perioperative period. Venous blood was collected from each patient 1 hour before the surgery and at 2, 6, 24 and 72 hours after unclamping the aorta, then serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), lactic acid dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK), and creatine kinase-MB isozyme (CK-MB) were detected. Additionally, cardiac function indices including stroke volume (SV), left ventricular diastolic diameter (LVDD), cardiac output (CO), Left ventricular ejection fraction (lVEF) were compared between the two group patients before the surgery and 6 days after operation.Results:Compared with before the operation, the levels of serum enzymes were all significantly increased after unclamping the aorta. The levels of serum AST, LDH and CK reached their peak at 24 hours after unclamping the aorta. Notably, the levels of serum AST, LDH and CK in the experimental group were lower than that in the control group at each time point after unclamping the aorta ( P<0.05). For serum CK-MB, the level in the experimental group reached its peak at 6 hours after unclamping the aorta, while the peak value was observed at 24 hours after unclamping the aorta in the control group. The level of CK-MB in the experimental group was significantly decreased compared with the control group at each time point after unclamping the aorta ( P<0.05). Moreover, there were no significant differences in cardiac function indices between the 2 groups before the operation ( P>0.05). The levels of SV, CO and LVEF in the experimental group were significantly increased while the level of LVDD was obviously decreased compared to that in the control group after the operation ( P<0.05). Conclusions:L-carnitine has protective effects on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in patients undergoing CABG operation under cardiopulmonary bypass, with reducing serum levels of myocardial enzyme in these patients.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the difference of curative effects and prognosis between coronary artery bypass grafting with and without cardiopulmonary bypass.Methods 152 patients who were operated using off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) and 107 patients who were performed with on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in the authors'department during the period from October 2013 to October 2017 were included in the study.The differences of postoperative recovery and major complications between the two groups were analyzed.Results Compared with CABG group,patients in OPCABG group had shorter intensive care unit (ICU) monitoring time,electrocardio-monitoring time,duration of antibiotic treatment,time of drainage tube intubation,mechanical ventilation time,arterial piezometer tube monitoring time and length of hospital stay (P < 0.05).And postoperative draining fluid volume in patients of OPCABG group was also less than that in CABG group (P < 0.05).Additionally,there was no difference between the two groups in postoperative parameters including renal insufficiency,using intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) machine,perioperative myocardial infarction,second operation for hemorrhage,the occurrence of postoperative arrhythmias and cerebrovascular accident (P > 0.05).However,the incidence of postoperative pulmonary infection was significantly higher in patients of CABG group than that in OPCABG group (P < 0.05).Conclusions The incidence of postoperative pulmonary infection was significantly decreased in OPCABG group compared with that in CABG group.And the postoperative recovery of patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting was superior to that of patients undergoing onpump coronary artery bypass grafting.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the effect of intravenous drip of levocarnitine during perioperative period on serum cytokines and cardiac troponin (cTn) I in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) under extracorporeal circulation. Methods The clinical data of 70 patients who had underwent CABG under extracorporeal circulation in Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Medical College of Xi′an Jiaotong University from January 2015 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 35 cases were treated with intravenous infusion of levocarnitine (experiment group), and 35 cases were not treated with intravenous infusion of levocarnitine (control group). The serum levels of cTnI, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8 and IL-10 1 h before operation and 2, 6, 24, 72 h after aorta open were detected; the postoperative recovery and complication were recorded. Results There were no statistical differences in TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and cTnI before operation between 2 groups (P>0.05); the indexes 2, 6, 24 and 72 h after aorta open were significantly higher than those before operation, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). The TNF-α, IL-6 and cTnI 2, 6, 24 and 72 h after aorta open in experiment group were significantly lower than those in control group, and the IL-10 was significantly higher than that in control group; the IL-8 2, 6 and 24 h after aorta open in experiment group were significantly lower than that in control group, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). The ICU monitoring time, electrocardio-monitoring time, duration of antibiotic treatment, duration of drainage tube, mechanical ventilation time and length of hospital stay in experiment group were significantly shorter than those in control group: (2.9 ± 0.5) d vs. (3.5 ± 0.8) d, (5.7 ± 1.8) d vs. (7.6 ± 3.2) d, (6.7 ± 1.5) d vs. (9.8 ± 2.2) d, (3.1 ± 0.8) d vs. (3.9 ± 1.4) d, (3.3 ± 2.1) d vs. (5.1 ± 2.3) d and (8.1 ± 2.2) d vs. (12.8 ± 2.6) d, and there were statistical differences (P<0.01). Moreover, there were no severe perioperative complications such as myocardial infarction and pulmonary infection in 2 groups. Conclusions Intravenous drip of levocarnitine during perioperative period could effectively control postoperative inflammatory response and myocardial injury in patients undergoing CABG under extracorporeal circulation. The effect of levocarnitine may be related to its ability to balance the levels between proinflammatory cytokines and anti-inflammatory cytokines.
