Methods Kvl.3 potassium channels expression from 17 patients with ACS and 11 healthy age-match controls was detected in single cell(CD4+CD28null T cells and CD4+CD28+T cells) by fluorescence mieroscopy and patch clamp. Results The percentage of CD4+CD28mullT cells was higher in the ACS patients [(6.97±2.05)%] than that in the controls [(1.38±0.84)%, P〈0.05]. The concentration of hsCRP was directly correlated with the number of the CD4~CD28nul~ T cells in the ACS patients (r=0.52, P〈0,05). The conductance (6.89±1.17ns vs 3.36±0.66ns), dens (1.95±0.80 μm2 vs 1.13±0.57 μm2) and numbers (574.5±97.6 n/cell vs. 280.3±55.3 n/cell) of the Kv1.3 channels on the CIM+CD28null T cells were significantly higher than those on the CD4+CD28+ T cells (all P〈0.01) in ACS patients, but were similar on CD4+CD28+T betweenACS patients and controls. Conclusion The CD4+CD28nullT cells and the numbers of Kvl.3 channels on the CD4+CD28nullT cells from patients with ACS are significantly upregulated and might contribute to the pathogenesis of ACS (d Geriatr Cardio12010; 7:40-46).展开更多

Attempts to implement LM are tending to develop new functions and make it versatile to improve its performance for practical applications.Here, we present an unprecedented LM-integrated ultra-elastic microfiber with distinctive features for wearable electronics. The microfiber with a polyurethane shell and an LM core was continuously generated by using a sequenced microfluidic spinning and injection method. Due to the precise fluid manipulation of microfluidics, the resultant microfiber could be tailored with tunable morphologies and responsive conductivities. We have demonstrated that the microfiber could act as dynamic force sensor and motion indicator when it was embedded into elastic films. In addition, the values of the LMintegrated ultra-elastic microfiber on energy conversions such as electro-magnetic or electro-thermal conversions have also been realized. These features indicate that LM-integrated microfiber will open up new frontiers in LM-integrated materials and the wearable electronics field.展开更多
