Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of ropivacaine and bupivacaine on energy supply and mitochondrial oxidation phosphorylation of isolated rabbit heart muscle in order to compare the cardiotoxicity of the two local anestheties and explain the mechanism Methods Twenty four New Zealand rabbits weighing (2135?345)g were randomly divided into three groups of 8 animals each: control group(C); ropivacaine group(R) and bupivacaine group (B) The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal urethane 2g?kg -1 and heparinized (heparin 4mg?kg -1 ) Heart was quickly removed and connected to Langendoff preparation and perfused with oxygenated Krebs Henseleit buffer solution at normothermia(37℃) via aorta After 15 min perfusion, ropivacaine (group R) or bupivacaine(group B) was added to perfusate(500ng?ml -1 ) The heart was then perfused for another 10 min Myocardial tissue was taken from ventricle for determination of ATP, ADP and AMP content with high performance liquid chromatography Myocardial mitochondria was prepared and its oxidation of pyruvate and palmitoylcarnitine was measured using Clark electrode Results Myocardial ATP and ADP decreased significantly in group R and B as compared with those in group C The decrease in ATP and ADP in group B was more than that in group R (P

Objective To study the effects of heart ischemia reperfusion on conductive function of atrioventricular node (AVN) in rabbits. Methods Animal models of ischemia reperfusion of AVN were established by ligating and reopening the right coronary artery of rabbits. A total of 60 adult rabbits were divided into control groups ( n =10), right coronary artery occlusion group ( n =10), and ischemia reperfusion groups with ligation of the right artery occlusion for 10, 30, 60 and 120 min respectively ( n =10 for every subgroup). The hemodynamics, His bundle electrography and epicardial electography were carried out and recorded. Results After occlusion of right coronary artery, 94.8% animals in experimental groups were found to have prolonged atrial His interval (AH) ( P

At present, the level of diagnosis and treatment of early gastrointestinal cancer has a larger gap between China and developed countries. In recent years, the advent of new endoscopic imaging techniques has improved the detection rate of early gastrointestinal cancer. Along with this, endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD) enables radical resection for early cancer. In this article, we discuss how to improve the level of endoscopic diagnosis and treatment of early gastrointestinal cancer.

Objective To evaluate the significance of standardized ultrasound examination of fetal structures in the ifrst trimester (11-13+6 weeks). Methods The ultrasound data of 29 858 fetuses who underwent the ifrst trimester screening were analyzed retrospectively in Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Capital Medical University from January 2010 to December 2012 and followed up the cases with structural abnormalities and increased nuchal translucency (NT). Results Among 29 858 fetuses, 328 structural defects were detected in 284 fetuses (0.95%) by ultrasound in the first trimester, including fetal hydrops (124 cases), choroid plexus cysts (36 cases), exencephaly (32 cases), gastroschisis (24 cases), exomphalos (22 cases), cardiac defects (19 cases), megacystis (14 cases), spine abnormalities (10 cases), meningoceles/encephaloceles (9 cases), alobar holoprosencephaly (8 cases), hydrocephaly (7 cases), abnormalities of extremities (7 cases), acrania (6 cases), amniotic band syndrome (4 cases), abdominal cyst (3 cases) and conjoined twins (3 cases). Pregnancy was terminated in all cases (115) with exencephaly, gastroschisis, exomphalos, meningoceles/encephaloceles, alobar holoprosencephaly, hydrocephaly,abnormalities of extremities, acrania, amniotic band syndrome and conjoined twins, and the defects were verified by the gross appearance of fetuses. Two cases of megacystis were turned out to be normal during follow-up while 1 case was proved to be aneuploid and 1 other case progressed to multiple abnormalities during the second trimester. Most choroid plexus cysts, except 1 case of aneuploid, were normal during the second and the third trimester follow-ups by ultrasound. Thirteen cases of fetal hydrops were found to be aneuploids and 4 hydrops cases were proved to be complicated with other structural defects during the second and the third trimester. NT was increased in 422 cases (1.41%), among which 122 cases (28.91%) were complicated with structural defects and/or fetal hydrops. Ninty-nine cases with increased NT underwent chromosomal examination and 38 cases were found to be aneuploides. During the follow-up of 298 cases with increased NT who continued pregnancy, 21 structural abnormalities were found, including cardiac defects (14 cases), neural abnormalities (4 cases) and diaphragmatic hernia (3 cases). Conclusion The standardized fetal ultrasound in the first trimester is a effective tool for the screening of aneupolides and major structural abnormalities.

Objects To evaluate the immunosuppressive effect of marine preparation JLB extracted from Argopecten irradisus on aortic valve allograft durability. Methods The aortic valve homograft heterotopically allografted onto abdominal aorta from SD to Wistar rats. Then Wistar rats were divided into 2 groups. Test group was treated with JLB (0.5g?kg~ -1). The other group served as control. The rats were sacrificed in batches at 2, 4, 8and 12 weeks postoperatively. Blood samples and AVH were obtained for accessing the expression of CD25, CD71 and CD28. Results The expression of CD25, CD71 and CD28 in test group decreased more than that of control group at early stage of the transplantation. Conclusion JLB treatment can inhibit immune response at early stage after the transplantation.

AIM: To study influence of ischemia-reperfusion(IR) on apoptosis and expression of apoptosis-related genes Fas-L, Bax and Bcl-2 of sinoatrial node(SAN) cells in rabbits in vivo. METHODS:Ninety healthy adult rabbits were divided randomly into control group, ischemia groups (I 10 min , I 30 min , I 60 min and I 120 min ) and IR groups (I 10 min R 4h , I 30 min R 4h , I 60 min R 4h and I 120 min R 4h ). IR injury model of SAN was established by occluding and loosening the start section of right coronary artery. The apoptosis of SAN cells was detected by TUNEL staining. The expression of Fas-L, Bax and Bcl-2 of SAN cells was detected by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS:①No obvious apoptosis of SAN cells was observed in control group, I 10 min and I 30 min groups. Apoptosis of different degrees in SAN cells were found in 68.3%(41/60) rabbits in I 60 min , I 120 min and 4 subgroups of IR. ②The highest expression of Fas-L and Bax was observed in I 120 min group and that of Bcl-2 was in I 60 min group. ③The highest expression of Fas-L and Bax was observed in I 60 min R 4h group. The peak level of Bcl-2 was observed in I 30 min R 4h group. ④The expression of Fas-L and Bax was significant higher in IR group than that in ischemic group at the same time point. CONCLUSION:Ischemia and IR induced apoptosis of SAN cells in rabbit in vivo . Fas-L、Bax、Bcl-2 may participate in the regulation of apoptosis and the injury during IR aggravates the apoptosis of SAN cells.
