Methods: We analyzed 20 case of conotruncal heart malformation for TBX1 mutation by single strand con formation polymorphism(SSCP) and sequencing. Results: The SSCP changes were found in exon 3、5 、 9 of TBX1, the sequence analysis identified a base T→C at cDNA sequence of 549(sign T549C), C793T, G1447T; and these changes were found in normal chromosome. Conclusion: There are polymorphism in TBX1 among Chinese.展开更多

There is only limited data examining transradial access in the elderly population. In this review we looked at the available literature to give an insight into how the transradial approach compared to the transfemoral and other approaches in the elderly population. Elderly population is at higher risk of vascular access site bleeding and the transradial approach has shown equal efficacy to transfemoral approach. However, transradial approach significantly reduces vascular complications, hospital stay, mobilization times and adverse cardiac events. Therefore, transradial approach should be considered as the preferred vascular access site in the elderly population.展开更多

Methods: Myocardial infarction was induced in female Sprague-Dawley rats by transient ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery for 60 min. Either 2.5×106 DiI-labeled MSCs or equivalent saline was injected into the tail vein at 24 h after infarction.Results: Three days later, MSCs localized predominantly in the infarct region of heart rather than in the remote region. MSCs were also observed in spleen, lung and liver. At 4 weeks after infarction, echocardiographic parameters, including ejection fraction, fractional shortening, left ventricular end-diastolic and end-systolic diameters, were not significantly different between MSCs and saline groups. Hemodynamic examination showed that ±dp/dtmax were similar between MSCs and saline-treated animals. Histological evaluation revealed that infarct size and vessel density were not significantly changed by MSCs infusion.Conclusion: Intravenously injected MSCs can home to infarcted myocardium, but plays a limited role in cardiac repair following myocardial infarction.展开更多

Porcine aortic valves were decellularized with Triton X-100 and trypsin. The cells were encapsulated into the PEG-hydrogels to complete the process of the cells attaching to the acellular porcine aortic valves. Herein, the autologous mesenchymal stem cells （MSCs） of goats were selected as the seeding-cells and the tendency of MSCs toward differentiation was observed when the single semilunar TEHV had been implanted into their abdominal aortas. Furthermore, VEGF, TGF-β1, and the cell adhesive peptide motif RGD were incorporated. Light and electron microscopy observations were performed. Analysis of modified PEG-hydrogels TEHV＇s （PEG-TEHV） tensile strength, and the ratio of reendothelial and mural thrombosis revealed much better improvement than the naked acellular porcine aortic valve （NAPAV）. The data illustrated the critical importance of MSC differentiation into endothelial and myofibroblast for remodeling into native tissue. Our results indicate that it is feasible to reconstruct TEHV efficiently by combining modified PEG-hydrogels with acellular biomaterial scaffold andautologous MSCs cells.展开更多
