Objective To evaluate the effect of aminophylline on monophasic action potential (MAP) during remifentanil-induced negative chronotropic effect in the isolated rabbit hearts.Methods Eighteen healthy adult rabbits,weighing 2.0-2.5 kg,wereused in the study.Their hearts were excised and retrogradely perfused in a Langendorff apparatus.After 15 min of stabilization with K-H solution,the isolated hearts were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =6 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),remifentanil group (R group),and remifentanil + aminophylline group (RA group).Group C was perfused with 37 ℃ K-H solution for 60 min.Group R was perfused with K-H solution containing remifentanil 12 ng/ml for 60 min.Group RA was perfused with K-H solution containing remifentanil 12 ng/ml and aminophylline 30 μg/ml for 60 min.At 15 min of stabilization and 15,30 and 60 min of perfusion,HR and MAP in the myardium of left ventricle were recorded:MAP duration at 90% and 50% repolarization (MAPD90,MAPD50) was calculated.The early after depolarization,delay after depolarization and arrhythmia were recorded.Results Compared with group C,HR was significantly decreased at 15,30 and 60 min of perfusion,and MAPD50 and MAPD90 were prolonged in goup R,and HR was increased in group RA.HR was significantly higher,and MAPD50 and MAPD90 were shorter in RA group than in group R.No early after depolarization,delay after depolarization or arrhythmia developed in each group.Conclusion Aminophylline antagonizes remifentanil-induced negative chronotropic effect through shortening monophasic action potential duration in the myocardium of left ventricle of the isolated rabbit hearts.

Objective To evaluate the quality of literatures and the accuracy of ultrasonography in diagnosis of deeply infiltrating endometriosis(DIE).Methods The database of Medline (1966 to 2009), the excerpta medica database (EMBASE, 1980 to 2009), Chinese biological medicine on disc (CBMdisc, 1978 to 2009), China national knowledge infrastructure (CNKI, 1979 to 2009) and VIP for Chinese technology periodical database (VIP, 1989 to 2009) Cochrane library of studies about the diagnosis of ultrasound for DIE were searched and analyzed.Quality assessment of diagnostic accuracy studies (QUADAS) items were used to evaluate the quality of literatures.The sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio(+ LR), negative likelihood ratio (-LR) ,diagnostic test odds ratio (DOR) for the pooled analysis and heterogeneity test were analyzed for transvaginal ultrasonography(TVUS), transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) and rectal endoscopic sonography(EUS) by Meta-disc software, and drew the summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curves for those without heterogeneity.Results Totally 15 literatures in English were enrolled into this study.The positive rate of 10 items of QUADAS were above 60%, whereas that of the 11th item "Were the reference standard results interpreted without knowledge of the results of the index test" was 46.7% ;none of studies had mentioned the 13th item " Were uninterpretable/intermediate test results reported".All researches had no heterogeneity by explored threshold effect.The results of pooled sensitivity, specificity, + LR, - LR, DOR were 0.925,0.986, 30.036,0.107, 299.25 for TRUS, 0.799,0.944,11.972,0.187, 69.126 for transvaginal ultrasonography (TVUS), and 0.635,0.928,8.022, O.320, 39.606 for EUS, respectively.Area under the curve of EUS was 0.9479, and that of TVUS was 0.9246.Conclusions TRUS,TVUS and EUS all showed optimal value in diagnosis of DIE.The bias identified from the 15 studies might be mainly resulted from reference standard review bias.

ObjectiveTo analyze the prevalence and influencing factors of mental health problems among hypertensive patients in Ya'an city five years after the Lushan earthquake, so as to provide references for promoting the mental health of hypertensive patients in earthquake-stricken areas. MethodsStratified random cluster sampling method was adopted to select 800 hypertensive patients in Ya'an city in December 2018. The general information of patients were collected via a self-designed questionnaire, and their mental health problems were assessed via the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12).Then Logistic regression analysis was applied to explore the influencing factors. ResultA total of 744 valid questionnaires (93.00%) were obtained, and mental health problems were detected in 79 cases (10.62%). Univariate analysis denoted that the detection rate of mental health problems yielded statistical difference among patients of different marital status (P<0.01), family per capita monthly income (P=0.012) and social assistance recipients (χ2=25.194, P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis indicated that the unmarried/separated/divorced/widowed status (OR=3.879, P=0.015) and social assistance recipients (OR=4.705, P<0.01) were risk factors for mental health problems among hypertensive patients. ConclusionThe detection rate of mental health problems is low among hypertensive patients in Ya'an city, while the unmarried/separated/divorced/widowed and social assistance recipients may suffer more serious mental health problems.

OBJECTIVE:To optim ize the water extraction-ethanol precipitation technology of polysaccharide from Litchi chinensis seed,and to evaluate its hypoglycemic activity in vitro . METHODS :The content of polysaccharides was determined by phenol-sulfuric acid colorimetry ,and the extraction rate of polysaccharides was calculated. Single factor test and response surface methodology were used to optimize the water extraction technology with the ratio of material to liquid ,extraction times and extraction time as factors ,and the extraction rate of polysaccharide as index. Single factor test was used to screen the concentration volume fraction of water extract and ethanol precipitation Using acarbose as contro l,4-nitrophenol-α-D-glucopyranoside method was used to investigate in vitro inhibitory activity of polysaccharide from L. chinensis seed to α-glucosidase. RESULTS :The optimal technology was the ratio of material to liquid 1∶19 (g/mL),decocting for 3 times,1 h for each time ,concentrating the water extract to 40% of original volume ,and adding ethanol to 80% volume fraction. After deproteinization by Sevage method ,the crude polysaccharide of L. chinensis seed was obtained. The results of 3 times of validation tests showed that ,extraction rates of polysaccharide were 7.61%,7.89%,7.99%,average extraction rate was 7.83%(RSD=2.52%,n=3). The contents of polysaccharide were 55.57%,55.83% and 56.66%,average content was 56.02%(RSD=1.81%,n=3). The inhibitory activity of the polysaccharide from L. chinensis seed to α-glucosidase were increased as concentration ;its IC 50 was 0.056 mg/mL,which was lower than positive control acarbose (0.196 mg/mL). CONCLUSIONS:The optimal water extraction-ethanol precipitation technology of polysaccharide from L. chinensis seed is stable and feasible. The polysaccharide from L. chinensis seed show significant in vitro inhibitory effect on α-glucosidase,which is better than that of acarbose.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of modified constraint-induced movement therapy (mCIMT) based on Chinese version of Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test (Ch-QUEST) on upper limb function in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. MethodsFrom January to November, 2021, 40 children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy in Xuzhou Rehabilitation Hospital were recruited and randomly divided into control group (n = 20) and observation group (n = 20). The control group received routine upper limb function training, and the observation group received mCIMT based on Ch-QUEST additionally, for twelve weeks. They were assessed with Ch-QUEST, Peabody Developmental Motor Scale-Fine Motor (PDMS-FM) and Function Independence Measure for Children (WeeFIM) before and after treatment. ResultsAfter treatment, the scores of Ch-QUEST, DMS-FM (raw score) and WeeFIM significantly increased in both groups (|t| > 3.432, P < 0.01), and were higher in the observation group than in the control group (t > 2.032, P < 0.05). ConclusionmCIMT based on Ch-QUEST could improve the upper limb function of children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
