Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 1987;0(01):-
Using floating microelectrode, the effects of furosemide on action potential and contractile force were studied in isolated toad atrial myocardium. Furosemide increased the force of contraction of toad right atrial myocardium, amplitude and dV/dtmax of action potential, and prolonged action potential duration at 50% repolari-zation (APD50), but the APD25, APD90 and sinus cycle length ( SCL) were not influenced. The positive intropic effect of furosemide could be blocked by Verapamil. These results indicated that furosemide could promote the Ca++ inward current.

Objective To investigate whether allocardiac graft acceptance in the specific NF-κB impaired mice is due to regulatory T cell(Tr) and Th17 cells.Methods Mice abdominal heterotopic cardiac transplantation was performed and then divided in to control group(BALB/c→C57BL/6) and experimental group(BALB/c→IκBα/△N-Tg).Pretransplant and at day 7,30,100 posttransplant,spleens were harvested from the IκBα△ N-Tg mice,and then the Tr were detected by the fluorescence activated cell sorter.At day 5 posttransplant,the CD4 + Th17 cells from the spleens of the two groups were examined by the FACS.Additionally,at day 3 and 5 posttransplant,IL-17 expressed in the cardiac allograft was detected by Western blot.Results In the IκBα/ N-Tg mice group,the cardiac allografts were survived more than day 100,and without obviously lymphocytes infiltration.At the day 7 and 30 posttransplant,the Tr was obviously increased(21.23 ± 3.95,23.17 ± 4.11 vs 11.64 ± 1.96,P < 0.05); however,the Tr decreased at the day 100 posttransplant,and had no difference with before transplant(10.79 ±2.48 vs 11.64 ± 1.96,P >0.05).Compared with the control group,at day 5 posttransplant,CD4+ Th17 cells in the IκBα/N-Tg mice and IL-17 expression of the cardiac allograft were both decreased.Conclusion In the early stage after transplantation,specific T cell NF-κB impaired could abrogate the balance of the Tr and Th17 cells,and induce the T cells differentiated into Tr and inhibit the Th17 cells differentiation,and then induce tolerance.

The clinical electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring systems based on personal computer system can not meet the requirements of portability and home usage. The epilepsy patients have to be monitored in hospital for an extended period of time, which imposes a heavy burden on hospitals. In the present study, we designed a portable 16-lead networked monitoring system based on the Android smart phone. The system uses some technologies including the active electrode, the WiFi wireless transmission, the multi-scale permutation entropy (MPE) algorithm, the back-propagation (BP) neural network algorithm, etc. Moreover, the software of Android mobile application can realize the processing and analysis of EEG data, the display of EEG waveform and the alarm of epileptic seizure. The system has been tested on the mobile phones with Android 2. 3 operating system or higher version and the results showed that this software ran accurately and steadily in the detection of epileptic seizure. In conclusion, this paper provides a portable and reliable solution for epileptic seizure monitoring in clinical and home applications.

The changes of job content, education parttern, and the perception of roles before and during the epidemic were surveyed; the different roles of doctors engaged in general medicine before and after 2008 in education and community work were compared; the needs for training in epidemic prevention related knowledge for general practitioners were investigated.Results:A total of 382 questionnaires were recovered, of which 361 were valid, and the effective rate was 94.5%. The 83.1% (300/361) of general practitioners believed that the number of patients during the epidemic was significantly reduced. The main work was to screen community residents in epidemic areas (68.9%, 249/361), telephone counseling (54.0%, 195/361), and screening and follow-up of close contacts (42.9%, 155/361); 98.9% (357/361) of community doctors participated in outpatient education. Experienced doctors (starting work before 2008) were more willing to undertake management work in the epidemic (χ 2=77.370, P<0.05) . General practitioners′ needs for training were psychological interventions for residents under quarantine (80.6%, 291/361), home protection knowledge in the community (74.2%, 268/361), and isolation measures of the family with suspected patients (67.3%, 243/361), wearing and taking off protective gowns (65.1%, 235/361), collecting pharyngeal swab specimens (57.3%, 207/361) and patient referral procedures (52.4%, 189/361). The 60.6% (219/316) of general practitioners preferred information from the government press conference, expert opinion or the intranet of the organization (such as the hospital management department). Conclusion:General practitioners in Shenzhen took important screening, public education and counseling works during the COVID-19 epidemic, meanwile the training in the psychological intervention, the prevention and control knowledge related to the epidemic should be strengthend to better cope with the epidemics.

[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the effect of apatinib (APA) combined with cisplatin (DDP) on the proliferation, invasion and
migration capacity of gastric carcinoma (GC) cells and its molecular mechanism. Methods: Cancer and para-cancerous tissue samples
resected from 50 GC patients, who were surgically treated in Wuwei People's Hospital from January 2016 to June 2019, were
collected for this study; in addition, GC cell lines MGC803 and SGC7901 were also collected. qPCR was used to detect the HMGA2
expression in tissues and mRNA expressions of molecules related to cell proliferation, migration and invasion in GC cell lines.
MGC803 and SGC7901 cells were transfected with pcHMGA2 by liposome transfection technology. After treatment with DDP and
APA at different concentrations, the cells were divided into NC, pcHMGA2, pcHMGA2+DDP and pcHMGA2+DDP+APA groups.
Protein expression of HMGA2 in GC cells was detected by Western blotting, and proliferation, migration and invasion of the cells were
detected by MTT and Transwell assay, respectively. Results: The mRNA expression of HMGA2 in GC tissues was higher than that in
para-cancerous tissues (P<0.05), and the survival rate of GC patients in the high expression group was significantly reduced (P<0.01).
DDP significantly inhibited the proliferation, invasion and migration of MGC803 and SGC7901 cells (all P<0.01); the proliferation,
invasion and migration of MGC803 and SGC7901 cells in DDP+APA group significantly decreased (all P<0.01) as compared with
DDP group; APA significantly enhanced the inhibitory effect of DDP on HMGA2 expression in GC cells (P<0.01); APA enhanced
the anticancer activity of DDP against GC by down-regulating HMGA2 expression. Conclusion: APA promotes the anticancer
activity of DDP against GC, and its molecular mechanism is the promotion of the inhibitory effect of DDP on HMGA2 expression.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between serum glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) levels and neuroimaging changes and cognitive impairment in patients with cerebral small vascular disease (CSVD).Methods:135 patients with CSVD recruited from the Department of Neurology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University from September 2021 to July 2022 were assessed by cranial multimodal magnetic resonance imaging and Montreal cognitive function assessment (MoCA), and the basic data were analyzed at the same time.The serum GDNF concentration of all patients was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). According to the median GDNF concentration, the patients were divided into low GDNF group and high GDNF group. The baseline data, MoCA score and imaging markers of the two groups were compared by Mann-Whitney U test, chi-square test, logistic regression, Kruskal-Wallis H test and Jonckheere-Terpstra trend test, and the correlation between serum GDNF level and imaging markers and cognitive function of patients with CSVD was analyzed. Results:The median serum GDNF concentration of all CSVD patients was 16.66 pg/mL. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that low serum GDNF level was a risk factor for white matter hyperintensity and total image load in patients with CSVD. Serum GDNF level was a protective factor of cognitive impairment in patients with CSVD in multiple logistic regression analysis. The area under the curve of ROC curve analysis of cognitive impairment after CSVD predicted by serum GDNF level was 0.735, the sensitivity was 66.4%, and the specificity was 71.4%. The level of serum GDNF was positively related with visual space and executive function, attention and computational power, delayed recall and orientation( r=0.267, 0.187, 0.219, 0.215, all P<0.05). Conclusion:The serum GDNF level is related to white matter hyperintensities, total imaging load and cognitive impairment in patients with CSVD. Serum GDNF level may play a predictive role in CSVD and cognitive impairment.
