Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 2000;0(08):-
AIM:To investigate myosin heavy chain(MHC)gene expression and the effects of captopril and betaloc at an early stage of hypertension. METHODS:Model of hypertension was made by partly narrowing two bilateral renal arteries(2K2C). The rats were divided into four groups at random. (1) control group; (2)2K2C group;(3)captopril group;(4)betaloc group.Levels of ?-MHC and ?-MHC mRNA were determined by dot-blot. RESULTS:?-MHC mRNA expression were gradual1y reduced in 2K2C group,while ?-MHC mRNA expression were increased,and the marked changes were observed at 72h postoperation. Captopril could inhibit the changes in MHC gene expression; but betaloc could not. CONCLUSION: The expression of MHC gene has changed at an early stage of renal hypertensive rat,and renin-angiotensin system may play an important role in this change.

AIM To investigate the roles of Cl- channels in Ca2+ influx induced by activaion of al- adrenoceptor subtypes in transfected-CHO cells. METHODS The effects of drugs on ?1A、?1B and ?1D- AR-induced Ca2+ influx were investigated with Fura2 fluorescence technique. RESULTS The ?1A-AR- induced Ca2+ influx was inhibited by furosemide(2 .5 ~ 10 M?mol?L- 1 )and SK&F96365(5- 15 ?mol?L- 1 ) in a concentration- dependent manner respectively; The ?1B-AR-induced Ca2+ influx could also be inhibit inhibited by NFA(2. 5 ~ 10 ?mol? L-1 ), whereas the alD AR-induced Ca2+ influx was only suppressed by NFA. In ?1B-CHO cells, Adr-triggered Ca2+ influx could be further inhibited by NFA or furosemide after the maximal inhibition by SK&F96365;SK&F96365 could further inhibit Ca2+ influx which had been inhibited by NFA or furosemide. In ?1A-CHO cells, Adr-triggered Ca2+ influx could be further inhibited by SK&F96365 after had been inhibited by furosemide; furosemide could not further inhibite Ca2+ influx which had been inhibited by S&F96365. CONCLUSION There are different characteristics of CI- channels related to ?1A、 ?1B and ?1D-AR-induced Ca2+ influx.

AIM: To investigate the relationship between chloride channels and the Ca 2+influx induced by adrendine(Adr). METHODS: The effects of drugs on Adr-induced Ca 2+influx were investigated with Fura-2 fluorescence technique. RESULTS: Adr-induced Ca 2+influx was inhibited by nifedipine,SK&F96365,NFA and furosemide in a concentration manner respectively; Ca 2+influx could be further inhibited by NFA or furosemide after the maximal inhibition by SK&F96365;SK&F96365 also could further inhibit the Ca 2+influx which had been inhibited by NFA or furosemide. Genistein and vanadate could reduce or increase the Ca 2+influx respectively. CONCLUSION: Ca 2+influx induced by Adr is related to VDC and ROC, and chloride channels involves in the processes.The levels of tyrosine phosphoralation affect the Ca 2+influx.

The effects of drugs on intracellular calcium concentration([Ca2+]i) were investigated with fura-2 fluorescence technique to investigate ATP and thrombin-induced Ca2+ entry in bovine aortic endothelial cells(BAEC). It was found that application of ATP and thrombin gave rise to biphasic [Ca2+]i elevation. ATP or thrombin only triggered a fraction of cyclopiazonic acid(CPA)-sensitive Ca2+ store, which was enough to activate Ca2+ entry. The Ca2+ release induced by thrombin resulted from the activation of phospholipase C(PLC), whereas the PLC-independent mechanism was involved in ATP-induced Ca2+ release. Nifedipine had no effect on ATP and thrombin- induced Ca2+ entry. SK&F 96365 and ginsenoside-2A inhibited both ATP and CPA-induced Ca2+ entry, however no effect of them on thrombin-induced Ca2+ entry was found. The inhibitory effects of SK&F 96365 and ginsenoside-2A on CPA-induced Ca2+ entry were less than that on ATP-induced Ca2+ entry. The Ca2+ influx sensitive to SK&F 96365 was not the same as that to ginsenoside-2A. These observations suggest that both ATP and thrombin evoke Ca2+ release and Ca2+ influx by activation of different receptor. However their mechanisms appear different.

Objective To explore the level and the significance of amino-terminal propeptide of procollagen type Ⅲ(P Ⅲ NP)in the serum of hypertrophic scar patients at excessive stages.Methods The serum samples of 74 inpatients admmitted in Affiliated Fosham Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from August 2007 to August 2009 suffering from long-persisting post-burn hypertrophic scar at various stages were collected.Serum samples of 12 were normal persons were also collected and used as control group.Hypertrophic scar group were divided into 4 subgroups according to the phase of scar and the serum concentrations of P Ⅲ NP were detected using the sensitive RIA method.Results The level of PⅢ NP increases gradually during the process of immature hypertrophic scar to mature scar before it peaking in 4 to 6 months scar subgroup.The concentration of PⅢ NP degreased gradually with the maturation of hypertrophic scar.Conclusions The high concentration of PⅢNP can reflect the high level of the synthesis of type Ⅲ collagen in the tissue of post-burn hypertrophic scar.The level of P Ⅲ NP is synonymous with the ongoing process of hypertrophic scar.PⅢ NP may be a satisfactory marker in discerning the growth and development of post-burn hypertrophic scar.

Objective To investigate the compassion fatigue status and its related factors of ICU nurses in two tertiary hospitals in Beijing, providing a theoretical basis for further intervention. Methods This survey was conducted on 294 ICU nurses in two tertiary hospitals in Beijing using general information questionnaire and compassion fatigue scale. Results Nearly 62.86%(176/280) of ICU nurses had compassion fatigue, and the overall average score was 2.68. Among all the dimensions, the higher were 2.77 ± 0.72 of "loss of enthusiasm", 2.77 ± 0.52 of "feeling indifference" and 2.75 ± 0.67 of"ability doubt". The education degree, marital status and post were the main influencing factors of compassion fatigue. And the pressure from patients and their families were the main reasons of compassion fatigue of the nurses. Conclusions There is compassion fatigue among ICU nurses in two hospitals in Beijing, it is suggested that nursing managers should avoid the impact of sympathetic factors from the management point of view, reducing ICU nurses sympathy fatigue.

Objective:To investigate the effects of Manchester Pain Management Model (MPMM) on postoperative pain and joint function for patients undergoing rotator cuff repair surgery.Methods:A total of 66 patients undergoing rotator cuff repair surgery from February 2017 to October 2020 in the First People′s Hospital of Hefei were divided into experimental group and control group by random digits table method, with 33 cases in each group. The control group received routine nursing; based on the routine care, the experimental group implemented MPMM-based intervention. The degree of pain and shoulder function of the two groups were assessed by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Constant-Murley Scale (CMS).Results:During the study period, 1 case in the experimental group was lost, 32 cases in the final experimental group and 33 cases in the control group. There was no significant difference in the score of VAS and CMS before surgery between the two groups ( P>0.05). At 1 day, 3 days, 3 weeks and 6 weeks after surgery, VAS scores in the experimental group were 5.47 ± 1.72, 4.63 ± 1.16, 3.25 ± 0.78, 1.81 ± 0.52, lower than those scores in the control group 6.42 ± 1.03, 5.45 ± 1.54, 4.30 ± 0.64, 2.39 ± 0.47, the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 2.36-3.11, all P<0.05). At 3, 6, 12 weeks after surgery, CMS scores in the experimental group were 57.09 ± 4.32, 67.75 ± 4.60, 81.94 ± 4.18, higher than those scores in the control group 52.27 ± 5.39, 64.24 ± 3.76, 78.91 ± 4.36, the differences were statistically significant ( t=3.97, 3.37, 2.89, all P<0.01). Conclusions:MPMM can effectively alleviate the postoperative pain and promote the recovery of joint function in patients undergoing rotator cuff repair surgery.
