The three-dimensional full-volume echocardiographic images of left ventricle were recorded and then were analyzed using EchoPAC software. The strain curves and peak systolic strain values for each segment and overall left ventricular wall were obtained. Left ventricular global peak longitudinal strain （GPSL）, global peak radial strain （GPSR）, global peak circumferential strain （GPSC） and global peak area strain （GPSA） were measured and then statistically analyzed. There were no significant differences in left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF） and cardiac output （CO） between heart transplant recipients and controls. The GPSL in heart transplant recipients at 1st month after surgery was significantly lower than that in controls, but close to the normal value at 3rd month after surgery and later. The GPSC, GPSA and GPSR were significantly lower in heart transplant recipients at 1 st, 3rd, 6th and 12th month after surgery than those in controls. It is suggested that three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography can be used for monitoring changes of left ventricular systolic strains and evaluating left ventricular systolic function in cardiac allograft.展开更多

Methods: Patients who were diagnosed with coronary heart disease and angina pectoris in our hospital between March 2015 and May 2017 were selected as the CHD group of the study, and the healthy subjects who received medical examination in our hospital during the same period were taken as the control group;the three-dimensional speckle tracking parameters, peripheral blood signal molecule expression as well as serum cytokine and collagen metabolism index levels of the two groups were measured.Results: GLS and AGS levels in CHD group were significantly lower than those in control group whereas GCS and GRS levels were not significantly different from those in control group, and peripheral blood Notch1, Hes1, NF-κB and PKC expression intensity as well as serum sTWEAK, FGF23, TGF-β1, GDF15, sSema4D, CaN, MMP14, PINP and ICTP contents were significantly higher than those of control group;GLS and AGS levels in CHD group were negatively correlated with peripheral blood Notch1, Hes1, NF-κB and PKC expression intensity as well as serum sTWEAK, FGF23, TGF-β1, GDF15, sSema4D, CaN, MMP14, PINP and ICTP contents.Conclusions:The changes of three-dimensional speckle tracking parameters GLS and AGS in patients with coronary heart disease are closely related to the changes in signal pathway function, cytokine secretion and collagen metabolism during left ventricular remodeling.展开更多

Methods: Patients with lung cancer who underwent chemotherapy in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Medical University between February 2016 and May 2017 were selected as the chemotherapy group, the healthy subjects who received physical examination during the same period were selected as the control group, the 3D-STI examination was performed and GAS was calculated;the serum was collected to determine the contents of cardiotoxicity markers as well as apoptosis and oxidative stress indexes, and the peripheral blood was collected to determine the expression of apoptosis and oxidative stress molecules. Results: GAS level, serum ALDH2 and CAT contents as well as peripheral blood Keap1 and Bcl-2 expression intensity of chemotherapy group were lower than those of control group whereas serum Copeptin, CK-MB, cTnI, cMyBP-c, sTWEAK, sFas, MDA and 8-isoPGF2α contents as well as peripheral blood Nrf-2, gp91phox, p22 phox and Caspase-3 expression intensity were significantly higher than those of control group;the GAS level in chemotherapy group was negatively correlated with serum Copeptin, CK-MB, cTnI, cMyBP-c, sTWEAK, sFas, MDA and 8-isoPGF2α contents as well as peripheral blood Nrf-2, gp91phox, p22 phox and Caspase-3 expression intensity, and positively correlated with serum ALDH2 and CAT contents as well as peripheral blood Keap1 and Bcl-2 expression intensity. Conclusion: The changes of 3D-STI parameter GAS in patients with lung cancer chemotherapy can reflect the degree of cardiotoxicity induced by oxidative stress and apoptosis.展开更多

The study aimed to evaluate LV dyssynchrony parameters by both 2D-STI and RT-3DE, and the correlation between these two techniques. Methods A total of 43 chronic heart failure （CHF） patients and 27 healthy volunteers were enrolled. There were 23 dyssynchrony parameters selected to evaluate left ventricular systolic synchronization, involving 15 from 2D-STI and 8 from RT-3DE. Results Few of the dyssynchrony parametersshowednegative correlations with LV ejection fraction （LVEF） in the CHF group. The difference between time to peak-systolic radial strain of the anteroseptal and posterior segments at the level of papillary muscles [AS-P（RS）] from 2D-STI showed positive correlations with parts of the parameters from RT-3DE （P 〈 0.05）. Conclusions LV systolic dysfunction does not correlate with dyssynchrony. Moreover, there is a weak association between 2D-STI and RT-3DE in assessment of left ventricular dyssynchrony.展开更多
