Angiography showed triple vessel disease and vein grafts obstruction. The patient underwent a re-do OPCAB + TMLR + bone marrow mononuclear cell (BM-MNCs) transplantation on Nov. 8, 2004. BM-MNCs were isolated with standard gravity gradient method and the final implanted cell number was 12.06×108. Peri-operative data were similar to those of single OPCAB or re-CABG. The patient recovered promptly without recurrence of angina or infarction. Six-minute walking distance increased significantly (366 m to 493 m). Several imaging examinations reveal improved left cardiac function (LVEF improved from 23.75% to 52% in MRI) and diminished MI area. The results reveal that bone marrow cell transplantation, combined with TMLR and OPCAB is safe and might be effective in improving heart function for patients with IHD.展开更多

It has been testified that AQPs may be related to many physiological functions and pathophysiological disorders. In lung, 6 subtypes of AQPs were found, 4 of which have been located in certain tissue. AQP1, AQP3, AQP4 and AQP5 are located in upper respiratory tract and may contribute to the mucus production, bronchial moisturizing and gland secretion. AQP1 and AQP5 are located in lower respiratory tract and may participate in directing the water movement across the blood-gas barrier. AQPs in natal lung may be an important factor to accelerate the reabsorption of the lung liquid. In adult, some diseases such as asthma, pulmonary edema, adult respiratory distress syndrome, which have been considered unbalanced water movement, may be also concerned with AQPs. The relationship between lung edema and AQPs have not been elucidated in details. It should be verified how AQPs work in more organs and tissues as well as in some diseases.展开更多
