Aim To investigate the effects of β1-ad-renergic receptor (β1-AR ) on rapid component of the delayed rectifier potassium current ( IKr ) in ventricular
myocytes of guinea pigs with chronic heart failure ( CHF) . Methods The CHF model of guinea pigs was established by descending thoracic aortic banding .
Whole-cell patch-clamp technique was used to record IKr in ventricular myocytes. The effects ofβ1-AR on IKr in CHF ventricular myocytes were detected and its mechanisms were studied by pretreatment with protein kinase A ( PKA ) inhibitor and calmodulin kinase II( CaMK II) inhibitor. Results In CHF ventricular myocytes, xamoterol, the selectiveβ1-AR agonist, de-creased IKr by (52±8)% and prolonged action poten-tial duration. These effects were completely abolished by pretreatment of myocytes with CGP20712A, a selec-tive β1-AR antagonist. íamoterol only decreased IKr
by (28±3)% by pretreatment of CHF myocytes with specific PKA inhibitor KT5720 . KN93 , an inhibitor of CaMKII, did not attenuate the inhibitory effect on CHF ventricular myocytes. Conclusion IKr is inhibi-ted by β1-AR activation in CHF ventricular myocytes. PKA, but not CaMKII signaling pathway is involved in, at least in part, the inhibitory effect ofβ1-AR acti-vation on IKr.

Objective To study the characteristic of salvianolic acid(SA) binding to bovine serum albumin(BSA) and the structure-performance relationship.Methods The interactions between BSA and four natural SA(SAⅠ,rosmaric acid;SAⅡ,lithosperic acid;SAⅢ,salvianolic acid A;and SAⅣ,salvianolic acid B) were investigated by fluorescence and ultraviolet spectroscopy.Results The intrinsic fluorescence of BSA was quenched by SA via forming SA-BSA complexes and non-radiation energy transfer.The parameters of SA-BSA binding process,such as the static apparent association constant KA,the number of binding site n,the efficiency of energy transfer E,the spatial distance r were obtained,and the thermodynamic constants ?G,?H,and ?S were calculated.Conclusion The results indicate that SAⅢ bounds to BSA mainly through a hydrophobic force and the other three SA-BSA interactions are mainly driven by hydrogen bond and Van der Waals' force.Y,a comprehensive binding parameter constructing from the equation Y=lg (KA?E?n/r),could be used to reflect the interaction extent of SA-BSA system.The Y value changes with the number of free phenolic hydroxyl and molecule volume and decreases in the order of SAⅢ→SAⅣ→SAⅡ→SAⅠ.The results from correlation analysis indicate that it could be possible to estimate SA-BSA binding extent from hydrophobic parameter clogP and topo-polar surface area per unit of molecular weight tPSA/Mr of SA molecule.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy of the Humai powder for chemotherapy phlebitis. METHODS:80 pa-tients with chemotherapy phlebitis were randomly divided into treatment group and control group with 40 cases in each group. Treat-ment group was given Humai powder for external use,1 h/time,2 times/d;control group was given Hirudoid cream for external use,2 times/day. Venous pain,red and swollen disappearance time,and overall clinical efficacy were compared between 2 groups after treatment 48 hours. RESULTS:The time of red and swollen disappearance and pain disappearance in treatment group were shorter than in control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05);there was no statistical significance in clinical efficacy (cure rate + significant efficiency)between 2 groups(P>0.05),while cure rate of treatment group was significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Humai powder can relieve clinical symptom of patients with chemotherapy phlebitis and has high cure rate.
