<html>根据最近的美国心脏协会的统计数据，冠状动脉疾病（CAD）， ​​估计是负责120万的住院治疗，治疗是最昂贵的医疗条件。1超过半数的医院停留CAD患者之间谁也逗留期间接受经皮冠状动脉介入治疗（PCI）或冠状动脉旁路移植术（CABG）。由于CAD的患病率，在医院工作的医生有可能经常会遇到这些病人。这篇稿子的目的是描述的ECG应用程序和分析方法的比较研究（电Çardiographic中为例缺血中号 IA COM P O N环进行投资，以PHAŕmacological TRËatment的一个西伯;（R21 NR-011202） ，这可能被利用的其他研究，探索这个临床问题。 T"每年近70万美国人将有一个新的冠心病发作，或急性冠脉综合征（ACS）。1 ACS的病理生理涉及动脉粥样硬化斑块破裂，因此，治疗的目的是稳定斑块，以防止细胞死亡然而，有相当大的临床医生的辩论中，哪些是最好的治疗途径:早期浸润性经皮冠状动脉介入治疗（PCI /支架）时表示，一个保守的方法（ 即药物治疗或PCI /支架如果出现复发症状）。 -5 在三种类型的ACS有三种类型:ST段抬高心肌梗死（STEMI），非ST段抬高心肌梗死（NSTEMI）和不稳定型心绞痛（UA）。6，NSTEMI / UA是近四倍，作为共同的STEMI。7 ，8 NSTEMI / UA的处理决定主要是根据症状和休息或运动心电图（ECG）。然而，因为动态的和不可预知的Natu重新动脉粥样硬化斑块，这些方法往往是在检测心肌缺血，因为症状是不可靠的，和/或持续心电监护，尚未动用。 NSTEMI / UA的表现形式包括:（1）症状（胸部，手臂，下巴或颈部疼痛，出汗，恶心），（2）释放NSTEMI的情况下，心脏生物标志物（肌钙蛋白I，肌钙蛋白T，或creatnine的激酶MB）和（3）心电图（ECG）的变化（间歇性ST段抬高/抑郁，或T波倒置）。虽然症状可能发生在ACS，这是有据可查的，短暂的心电图检测缺血发作是在70％以上的患者无临床症状。9-12重要的是，许多研究都发现，患者的心电图检测心肌缺血，患者相比，没有这样的事件，因此在短期内11-13和长期不利结果 ​​的风险较高。14-16，症状是在NSTEMI / UA，这是一个不可靠的指标缺血治疗早期侵入性策略或服药初期战略决策问题，因为病人的症状往往是2-5此外，生物标志物识别NSTEMI / UA的患者为时已晚，因为他们的存在表明，血清中细胞死亡已经发生。 表示缺血的心电图变化发生在几秒钟内冠状动脉的血流量减少。10,17复杂的心电图变化在急性缺血性ST段的三个点之一，这是衡量的部分，（1）J点， （2）J点，加上60毫秒（msec）的，或（3）J点加80（毫秒）（ 图1）。 12导联心电图识别MI，它是非侵入性的，廉价的，如果持续保持可识别短暂性脑缺血，甚至当它是无临床症状症状和生物标志物的重要优势。虽然12导联心电图监测是理想的，因为亩ltiple地区的心脏进行评估，典型的医院实践结合的监测，只有两个导联。两个心电图导联的护士在医院环境中最常用的监控V1和II。不幸的是，这两根导线用于检测在许多ACS患者短暂性脑缺血是不敏感的。10,19因此，缺血外发生的这两个监控线索将被错过。 使用12导联心电图监测比较研究的目的是评估的频率和过性心肌缺血的临床后果，NSTEMI / UA患者早期侵入性的初始保守的方法，其中包括药物单独管理的PCI /支架治疗，过渡到PCI /支架以下症状反复发作。在我们的研究中，连续12导动态心电记录仪是用来捕捉缺血。本描述性研究的目的是评估的频度和临床后果的反刻度心肌缺血，NSTEMI / UA患者的治疗无论是早期介入治疗PCI /支架或保守治疗（药物治疗或PCI /支架后，症状反复发作）。 方法上的挑战虽然计算机辅助软件工程ST段短暂性脑缺血检测，准确分析，需要仔细，专家的监督。在分析过程中考虑的重要因素包括:（1）神器，（2）的一致性和准确性放置电极，（3）身体姿势的变化，（4）药物的影响，和（5）突然波形的变化。这些因素都将在下面讨论。 工件:由于临床显着的ST段变化小为100微伏（一个小盒子上的心电图纸），噪声信号的肌肉刺激可显着阻碍分析。大部分文物是皮肤准备不当有关。的问题CAN是很容易解决病人的躯干与细致的皮肤准备在一开始监测，并根据需要在整个监测期间21日至23日的皮肤准备应包括在网站电极去除毛发，大力清除皮肤油/碎片，使用醇制备焊盘和/或毛巾。23,24 电极位置的一致性和准确性假阳性ST段电极移动或删除时，在监控过程中可能发生的变化。20这种可管理的网站监测，以确保电极在一开始就用不褪色墨水标记每个电极都将重新应用到正确的位置，如果他们脱落或删除程序（ 例如 ，超声心动图，X-射线）。25我们建议的评估，以确保病人的躯干，至少每4小时皮肤电极在胸前。 体位的变化:udies使用连续ST段监测表明，一些患者可在体位改变（ 即 ，左，右侧卧），可被误诊为心肌缺血的表现伴随QRS波群和ST段振幅的变化。26,27我们的研究小组发现，假阳性ST段报警，体位改变是最常见的原因。使用超声心动图，Feldman和同事28发现，当患者从仰卧到左侧卧位，左心室移近侧胸壁。这有一个直接的影响从胸部电极的左心室的距离上，并导致在心电图中的R波的振幅的增加导致移到该心肌领土。这些变化已经证实了别人。26,27一般情况下，位置心电图变化怀疑时，心电波形的幅度增加，同时ST段变化。一个有用的策略是获得"位置的模板心电图假设与患者仰卧，左，右侧卧的位置时，开始监测，为以后进行比较分析。 药理作用:即使在治疗剂量的药物可影响心电波形。药物改变ST段是特别重要的，因为它们会导致误诊为心肌缺血。29这些药物包括洋地黄，抗心律失常药，吩噻嗪类。 "洋地黄效应"是用来描述特征的ST段和T波改变可能出现的这种药物，包括"拱形"ST段压低，扁平的T-波和短QT间期的时间间隔。等30个其他药物，作为抗心律失常药物（ 如奎尼丁，索他洛尔和胺碘酮）30，吩噻嗪，用于治疗精神分裂症/精神障碍，增加QT间期，减少T波振幅31 Ňevertheless，服用这些药物的患者可以监视可能表明急性心肌缺血急性ST段变化。项目的基线异常的药物是慢性看到，因此任何ST段偏移（压低或抬高），应评估患者的基线ST段电平发生急性心肌缺血。 突然波形变化:瞬态条件，如心律失常，右或左束支传导阻滞（BBB），以及间歇性的心室节奏的节拍，可以扭曲的ST段和导致假阳性缺血诊断。20 总之，连续ST段监测识别性心肌缺血疑似ACS患者是一个很好的工具。然而，这种方法要求仔细的电极中的应用，并导致电线进行在开始和整个监测。这种方法也需要认真的人监督为了消除假阳性ST段的改变。 步骤分步方法在比较研究中，数字动态心电图记录仪（H12 +，莫仪器，密尔沃基，威斯康星州），它记录了在4毫秒的间隔超过10秒采样，以确定中位数拍的电势。全部12导联（I，II，III，AVR，AVL，aVF导联V1-V6），同时获得一个数字采样速率为每秒1000个样本每通道存储到一个紧凑的闪存卡。此外，H12 +电极阻抗测量，以确保正常的皮肤前的准备工作开始动态心电图记录。的显示器指示如果一个心电导联线已成为分离的，还提供了一个用于记录日记事件的内部时钟。从动态心电图监测烧录卡的数据被下载到H-抄写员，脱线动态心电分析系统（莫仪器，密尔沃基，威斯康星州）。该软件允许连续心电图记录分析INGS来确定的信号的质量，心律失常的存在下，和局部缺血。 研究助理工作经验的心脏病患者人口的动态心电数据收集。会议在研究开始的培训计划，以确保研究方案的质量和一致性。一个培训课程，包括心电监护程序，包括如何应用心电监护设备，启动/保持科研计算机上的心电监护，并下载动态心电数据。回示威活动进行间信度完成整个研究过程中，通过随机评估10％，目前在读的科目。双周研究小组会议的招聘目标，面临的挑战进行了讨论，并间信度测试的结果可以共享。 在比较研究的研究方法有两个重要的步骤，病人准备和立东北心电图分析。这两种方法都将在随后的部分中的一步一步的方式解释。

Acute Myocardial Infarction in Rats

With heart failure leading the cause of death in the USA (Hunt), biomedical research is fundamental to advance medical treatments for cardiovascular diseases. Animal models that mimic human cardiac disease, such as myocardial infarction (MI) and ischemia-reperfusion (IR) that induces heart failure as well as pressure-overload (transverse aortic constriction) that induces cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure (Goldman and Tarnavski), are useful models to study cardiovascular disease. In particular, myocardial ischemia (MI) is a leading cause for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality despite controlling certain risk factors such as arteriosclerosis and treatments via surgical intervention (Thygesen). Furthermore, an acute loss of the myocardium following myocardial ischemia (MI) results in increased loading conditions that induces ventricular remodeling of the infarcted border zone and the remote non-infarcted myocardium. Myocyte apoptosis, necrosis and the resultant increased hemodynamic load activate multiple biochemical intracellular signaling that initiates LV dilatation, hypertrophy, ventricular shape distortion, and collagen scar formation. This pathological remodeling and failure to normalize the increased wall stresses results in progressive dilatation, recruitment of the border zone myocardium into the scar, and eventually deterioration in myocardial contractile function (i.e. heart failure). The progression of LV dysfunction and heart failure in rats is similar to that observed in patients who sustain a large myocardial infarction, survive and subsequently develops heart failure (Goldman). The acute myocardial infarction (AMI) model in rats has been used to mimic human cardiovascular disease; specifically used to study cardiac signaling mechanisms associated with heart failure as well as to assess the contribution of therapeutic strategies for the treatment of heart failure. The method described in this report is the rat model of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This model is also referred to as an acute ischemic cardiomyopathy or ischemia followed by reperfusion (IR); which is induced by an acute 30-minute period of ischemia by ligation of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) followed by reperfusion of the tissue by releasing the LAD ligation (Vasilyev and McConnell). This protocol will focus on assessment of the infarct size and the area-at-risk (AAR) by Evan's blue dye and triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) following 4-hours of reperfusion; additional comments toward the evaluation of cardiac function and remodeling by modifying the duration of reperfusion, is also presented. Overall, this AMI rat animal model is useful for studying the consequence of a myocardial infarction on cardiac pathophysiological and physiological function.

Continuous Manual Exchange Transfusion for Patients with Sickle Cell Disease: An Efficient Method to Avoid Iron Overload

Children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) may be at risk of cerebral vasculopathy and strokes, which can be prevented by chronic transfusion programs. Repeated transfusions of packed red blood cells (PRBCs) is currently the simplest and most used technique for chronic transfusion programs. However, iron overload is one of the major side effects of this therapy. More developed methods exist, notably the apheresis of RBC (erythrapheresis), which is currently the safest and most efficient method. However, it is costly, complicated, and cannot be implemented everywhere, nor is it suitable for all patients. Manual exchange transfusions combine one or more manual phlebotomies with a PRBC transfusion.
At the Reference Center of Sickle Cell Disease, we set up a continuous method of manual exchange transfusion that is feasible for all hospital settings, demands no specific equipment, and is widely applicable. In terms of HbS decrease, stroke prevention, and iron overload prevention, this method showed comparable efficiency to erythrapheresis. In cases where erythrapheresis is not available, this method can be a good alternative for patients and care centers.

We have outlined a method of continuous manual exchange transfusion for the treatment of sickle cell disease in patients. This safe protocol was designed to effectively limit iron overload in patients in need of chronic transfusions and can be used extensively without any special equipment.

Real-time Pressure-volume Analysis of Acute Myocardial Infarction in Mice

Acute myocardial infarction can lead to acute heart failure and cardiogenic shock. The evaluation of hemodynamics is critical for the evaluation of any potential therapeutic approach directed against acute left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. Current imaging modalities (e.g., echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging) have several limitations since data on LV pressure cannot directly be measured. LV catheterization in mice undergoing coronary artery occlusion could serve as a novel method for a real-time evaluation of LV function.
At the beginning of the procedure, mice were anesthetized followed by endotracheal intubation. For LV catheterization, the right carotid artery was exposed via middle-neck incision. The catheter was introduced and placed into the LV cavity. Left thoracotomy was conducted and the left main coronary artery (LCA) was ligated. To induce reperfusion, the suture was released after 45 min. Pressure-volume data was recorded at all times.
Ligation of the LCA caused a decrease in LV systolic function as evidenced by a 30% reduction in stroke volume, LV ejection fraction (EF), and cardiac output. Maximum dP/dt as a parameter for LV contractility was also significantly reduced and diastolic function was severely impaired (minimum dP/dt -40%). Reperfusion over a period of 20 min did not lead to a complete recovery of LV function.
Real-time pressure-volume analysis served as a valid procedure for monitoring cardiac function during acute myocardial infarction in mice. Maintaining stable anesthesia and a standardized surgical approach was crucial to ensure valid results. As the early phase of acute myocardial infarction is critical for morbidity and mortality, the delineated method could be beneficial for preclinical evaluation of new strategies for cardioprotection.

Acute myocardial infarction in mice induces acute but incompletely characterized changes in left ventricular (LV) function. LV catheterization in mice undergoing coronary artery occlusion serves as a novel method for a real-time evaluation of LV function.

Oleic Acid-Injection in Pigs As a Model for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

The acute respiratory distress syndrome is a relevant intensive care disease with an incidence ranging between 2.2% and 19% of intensive care unit patients. Despite treatment advances over the last decades, ARDS patients still suffer mortality rates between 35 and 40%. There is still a need for further research to improve the outcome of patients suffering from ARDS. One problem is that no single animal model can mimic the complex pathomechanism of the acute respiratory distress syndrome, but several models exist to study different parts of it. Oleic acid injection (OAI)-induced lung injury is a well-established model for studying ventilation strategies, lung mechanics and ventilation/perfusion distribution in animals. OAI leads to severely impaired gas exchange, deterioration of lung mechanics and disruption of the alveolo-capillary barrier. The disadvantage of this model is the controversial mechanistic relevance of this model and the necessity for central venous access, which is challenging especially in smaller animal models. In summary, OAI-induced lung injury leads to reproducible results in small and large animals and hence represents a well-suited model for studying ARDS. Nevertheless, further research is necessary to find a model that mimics all parts of ARDS and lacks the problems associated with the different models existing today.

In this article, we present a protocol to induce acute lung injury in pigs by central-venous injection of oleic acid. This is an established animal model for studying the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Evaluation of Coronary Flow Reserve After Myocardial Ischemia Reperfusion in Rats

Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. After an acute myocardial infarction, early and successful myocardial intervention via recanalization of the coronary artery is the most effective strategy for reducing the size of ischemic myocardium. The coronary microvasculature cannot be visualized and imaged&#160;in vivo, but there are several invasive and noninvasive techniques that can be used to assess parameters which depend directly on coronary microvascular function. The endothelial function after ischemia reperfusion can be assessed also at the level of the coronary circulation via the coronary flow reserve (CFR).&#160;In this study, peak velocity of left anterior descending (LAD) coronary arteries was measured in rats in vivo via Transthoracic Doppler Echocardiography during resting and stress challenge (induced by Dobutamine). A normal heart can increase its coronary blood flow up to four times above the resting values during stress induction. Following ischemia reperfusion, we found a significantly diminished CFR, which can be used as a marker of coronary microvascular dysfunction. CFR has opened a window on the importance of microvascular dysfunction and has been shown to predict cardiovascular risk independent of whether the severe obstructive disease is present.

Coronary flow reserve (CFR), is defined as the ratio of maximal coronary blood flow to the resting coronary blood flow. We present a protocol for evaluating CFR in rats via ultrasound, which offers the opportunity to predict cardiovascular risk factors in the absence of obstructive coronary disease.

Postconditioning with Lactate-enriched Blood for Cardioprotection in ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

The beneficial effects of reperfusion therapy for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is attenuated by reperfusion injury. No approach has been proven successful in preventing this injury in the clinical setting to date. Meanwhile, a novel approach for cardioprotection in patients with STEMI, i.e., postconditioning with lactate-enriched blood (PCLeB), has recently been reported. PCLeB is a modification of the original protocol of postconditioning, aimed at increasing the delay in the recovery from tissue acidosis produced during ischemia. This was sought to achieve controlled reperfusion with tissue oxygenation and minimal lactate washout. In this modified postconditioning protocol, the duration of each brief reperfusion is gradually increased in a stepwise manner from 10 to 60 s. Each brief ischemic period lasts for 60 s. At the end of each brief reperfusion, injection of lactated Ringer&#39;s solution (20&#8211;30 mL) is performed directly into the culprit coronary artery immediately before the balloon inflation and the balloon is quickly inflated at the lesion site, so that the lactate is trapped inside the ischemic myocardium during each brief repetitive ischemic period. After seven cycles of balloon inflation and deflation, full reperfusion is performed. Stenting is performed thereafter, and the percutaneous coronary intervention is completed. Excellent in-hospital and 6 month outcomes in a limited number of patients with STEMI treated using PCLeB have already been reported. This method article provides a detailed description of each step of the PCLeB procedures.

Herein, we present a protocol for postconditioning with lactate-enriched blood, which is a novel approach for cardioprotection. This protocol comprises&#160;intermittent reperfusion and timely coronary injections of lactated Ringer&#39;s solution. This can be applied to ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients who undergo primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

Predicting Amputation using Local Circulating Mononuclear Progenitor Cells in Angioplasty-treated Patients with Critical Limb Ischemia

Critical limb ischemia (CLI) represents an advanced stage of the peripheral arterial disease. Angioplasty improves the blood flow to the lower limb; however, some patients irreversibly progress to limb amputation. The extent of vascular damage and the mechanisms of vascular repair are factors affecting post-angioplasty outcome. Mononuclear Progenitor Cells (MPCs) are reactive to vascular damage and repair, with the ability to reflect vascular diseases. The present protocol describes quantification of MPCs obtained from blood circulation from vessel close to the angioplasty site, as well as its relationship with endothelial dysfunction and its predictive ability for limb amputation in the next 30 days after angioplasty in patients with CLI.

Lower limb amputation may occur even after angioplasty of obstructed vessels in Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI). Mononuclear Progenitor Cells (MPCs) reflect vascular repair. The present protocol describes the quantification of MPCs from circulation close to angioplasty, and its relationship with endothelial dysfunction and prediction of lower limb amputation.

Operating Transverse Aortic Constriction with Absorbable Suture to Obtain Transient Myocardial Hypertrophy

Based on twice transverse aortic constrictions (TACs) in mice, it is proved that myocardial hypertrophic preconditioning (MHP) could attenuate cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and slow down progression to heart failure. For novices, however, the MHP model is usually quite difficult to establish because of the technical obstacles in ventilator operation, opening the chest repeatedly, and bleeding caused by debanding. To facilitate this model, to increase the surgical success rate and to reduce the incidence of bleeding, we switched to absorbable sutures for the first TAC combing with a ventilator-free technique. Using a 2-week absorbable suture, we demonstrated that this procedure could cause significant myocardial hypertrophy in 2 weeks; and 4 weeks after surgery, myocardial hypertrophy was almost completely regressed to the baseline. Using this protocol, the operators could master the MHP model easily with a lower operation mortality.

This protocol presents an improved method to obtain transient myocardial hypertrophy with absorbable suture, simulating left ventricular hypertrophy decrease after removing pressure overload. It could be valuable for the studies on myocardial hypertrophic preconditioning.

Induction of Myocardial Infarction and Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Mice

Acute myocardial infarction is a common cardiovascular disease with high mortality. Myocardial reperfusion injury can counteract the beneficial effects of heart reflow and induce secondary myocardial injury. A simple and reproducible model of myocardial infarction and myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury is a good tool for researchers. Here, a customizable method to create a myocardial infarction (MI) model and MIRI by precision ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) through micromanipulation is described. Accurate and reproducible ligature positioning of the LAD helps obtain consistent results for heart injury. ST-segment changes can help to identify model accuracy. The serum level of cardiac troponin T (cTnT) is used to assess the myocardial injury, cardiac ultrasound is employed to evaluate the myocardial systolic function, and Evans-Blue/triphenyl tetrazolium chloride staining is used to measure infarct size. In general, this protocol reduces procedure duration, ensures controllable infarct size, and improves mouse survival.

Here we describe a simple and reproducible method that can induce myocardial infarction or myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice by precision ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery through micromanipulation.

Improved Rodent Model of Myocardial Ischemia and Reperfusion Injury

Myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injury (MIRI), induced by coronary heart disease (CHD), causes damage to the cardiomyocytes. Furthermore, evidence suggests that thrombolytic therapy or primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) does not prevent reperfusion injury. There is still no ideal animal model for MIRI. This study aims to improve the MIRI model in rats to make surgery easier and more feasible. A unique method for establishing MIRI is developed by using a soft tube during a key step of the ischemic period. To explore this method, thirty rats were randomly divided into three groups: sham group (n = 10); experimental model group (n = 10); and existing model group (n = 10). Findings of triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining, electrocardiography, and percent survival are compared to determine the accuracies and survival rates of the operations. Based on the study results, it has been concluded that the improved surgery method is associated with a higher survival rate, elevated ST-T segment, and larger infarct size, which is expected to mimic the pathology of MIRI better.

Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion model of rat heart is improved by using a self-made retractor, polyvinyl chloride tube, and a unique knotting method. Electrocardiogram, triphenyltetrazolium chloride and histological staining, and percent survival analysis results showed that the improved model group has higher success and survival rates than the already existing model group.
