AIM:To study the effects and mechanisms of a novel sulfonylureous compound 1 ｛4 [2 (4 bromobenzenesulfonaminoethyl)phenylsufonyl｝ 3 (trans 4 methylcyclohexyl) urea, G004, on antithrombosis. METHODS: The influence of compound G004 on the vasoconstrictor action, platelet aggregation and thrombosis formation was studied. The effects of compound G004 on the tail vein bleeding time in mice was examined. The influence of compound G004 on the release of prostanglandin I 2 and thromboxan A 2 from ECV304 cells was investigated. The measurement of cytosolic free Ca 2+ in attached ECV304 cells loaded with Fluo3/AM was carried out. RESULTS: Compound G004 did not inhibit the contraction of rat aorta rings induced by norepinephrine or potassium chloride, but potently inhibit human platelet aggregation challenged by arachidonic acid and adenosine diphosphate. Compound G004 significantly prolonged the tail vein bleeding time in mice and occlusion time of carotid artery in experimentally thrombotic rats. Compound G004 reduced mice mortality induced by the collagen plus epinephrine in a dose dependent manner. Compound G004 enhanced PGI 2 release and reduced TXA 2 secretion from ECV304 cells. G004 had no effect on the increase of cytosolic free Ca 2+ induced by patassium chloride. CONCLUSION: The compound G004 has a remarkable antithrombotic effect in vivo. Its active mechanism may be attributed to inhibition of platelet aggregation, enhancing PGI 2 generation and decreasing TXA 2 secretion from human umbilical vein endothelium.

Objective:This study evaluates the relationship between carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 153 (CA153) continuous and remarkable reduction after chemotherapy and no-imaging progression in patients with advanced breast can-cer. Methods: Medical records of 93 patients who received chemotherapy in the Oncology Department of the General Hospital of Shenyang Military Command were included in the retrospective analysis. A total of 188 CEA and CA153 serum data were collected from response evaluations that included 105 CEA cases and 139 CA153 cases. Predictive validity of serum CEA and CA153 was as-sessed for diagnosing no-imaging progression. Results:CEA was continuously reduced by 10%, with sensitivity of 54.1%and specificity of 95%. CA153 was continuously reduced by 40%, with sensitivity of 19.1%and specificity of 96.6%. Conclusion:Serum CEA and CA153 could be considered as response evaluation tools when they are continuously reduced by at least 10%and 40%, respectively.

Electrocardiographic (ECG) signal are a kind of basic physiological signals of human body, and are very important in clinical diagnosis. But the ECG signals from body surface are often interfered by noises such as 50 Hz noise, baseline displacemant, electromyography (EMG) noise and edv. These noises bring obstacle to the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. To eliminate the ECG signals noises mentioned above,this paper adopts LMS adaptive algorithm and wavelet transform theory to design three kinds of digital adaptive filters-adaptive noise cancellation filter, wavelet transform filter and adaptive signal dividing filter to filter the corresponding noises. The results show that the three kinds of noises existing in the ECG signal have been efficiently eliminated.
