7-Bromethyoxybenzentetrahydropalmatine ( EBP) possessed antiarr-hythmic effect in several animals models.The authors studied the direct influence of EBP on the automaticity, refractory period, excitability and the contractility of isolated papillary muscle and atrium of guinea pig.EBP was found to decrease the automaticity and prolong the functional refractory period and increase the contractility of guinea pig papillary muscle, but it exerted no influence on its excitability.The decrease in automoticity and prolongation of refractory period was thought to be ascribed to its antiarrhythmic action.

Translational medicine is a novel concept about combination of basic research and clinical application. The aim of translational medicine is to realize the translation of basic research into clinical practice. microRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding single-stranded RNAs with 21-25 nucleotides in length as newly discovered factors in regulating gene expression. Recently, the key regulatory role of miRNA in the cardiovascular system has been elucidated and amount of remarkable results has been achieved, particularly in the regulation of cardiac arrhythmias. A series of studies demonstrate that miRNAs are involved in the regulation of expression of a variety of proteins associated with cardiac electrical activity, and are the potential targets of occurrence of cardiac arrhythmias and anti-arrhythmic drugs. miRNAs as a therapeutic target regulate the stability of mRNAs of target genes or play an inhibitory role in the translation process. Stability of the corresponding miRNA expression levels in the target organ may be a new approach for the disease therapy. Regarding the dysfunction of miRNA, we employed miRNA re-expression strategy and anti-miRNA strategy to correct target protein function and provide a new entry for the therapy of arrhythmia. With the technology of miRNA mimics and antagomirs, miRNAs are expected to treat various cardiovascular diseases and will provide a fresh impetus to achieve transform medicine.

It also certificated that the endothelium in vitro could express nitric oxide synthase and Factor Ⅷ related antigens.

Objective To investigate the clinical effects differences of two kinds of D2 lymphadenectomy in the treatment of patients with advanced gastric cancer including open operation and laparoscopy operation.Methods 90 patients with advanced gastric cancer were chosen in recent years in our hospital and were randomly divided into both group including group A (45 patients)with D2 lymphadenectomy by open operation and group B (45 patients) with D2 lymphadenectomy by laparoscopy operation;and the clinical indicators in peri-operation period,the dissec-tion number of lymph node,survival rate in 1 year with follow-up and postoperative complication incidence of both groups were compared.Results The clinical indicators in peri-operation period of group B was significantly better than that of group A (t=2.13,2.56,1.98,1.96,1.94,2.05,2.10,all P<0.05).The N2 dissection number of lymph node of group B was significantly fewer than that of group A (t=2.15,P<0.05).The survival rate in 1 year with follow-up of group A and group B were separately 88.89%and 91.11%,there was no significant difference in survival rate in 1 year with follow-up between the two groups(χ2 =1.67,P>0.05).The postoperative complication incidence of group A and group B were separately 20.00% and 8.89%,the postoperative complication incidence of group B was significantly lower than that of group A (χ2 =9.44,P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with D2 lymph-adenectomy by open operation,D2 lymphadenectomy by laparoscopy operation in treatment of patients with advanced gastric cancer can efficiently decrease the degree of surgical trauma,accelerate the process of recovering after opera-tion,and be helpful to reduce the risk of postoperative complications.

Cardiovascular disease, with high morbidity and mortality, has been threatening the health of human beings. Therefore, expecting to find a more effective therapeutic method, a plenty of researchers devote themselves to the study of the cardiovascular disease all the time. Since discovered on the heart, M3 receptor of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAchR, M receptor) became a new starting point of the research of the cardiovascular disease. With more and more investigation, many people found that M3 receptor could protect the heart from kinds of cardiovascular disease, which may make it a new hopeful therapeutic point. So, expecting to give support to the reference and encouragement for the study of disease related to M3 receptor in future, this review expounds M3 receptor on the heart from the main following aspects: the effect on the heart, the influence on the cardiovascular disease and the mechanism of M3 receptor involved.
