ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of aconitine, mesaconitine and hypaconitine on calcium release in isolated adult rat cardiac myocytes.MethodsThe left ventricular cardiac myocytes isolated from adult Sprague-Dawley rats were perfused withacnitine, mesaconitine and hypaconitine at 0.3 μmol/L, 1μmol/L, 3 μmol/L for 12 min. The spontaneous calcium release (SCR) rate, the end-diastolic[Ca2+](F0) and the calcium transient amplitude (ΔF) were detected 4 min, 8 min and 12 min after the perfusion. 12 min after the perfusion with acnitine, mesaconitine and hypaconitine at 0.3 μmol/L, the changes of systolic dynamics and calcium transient were detected for the positive inotropic effect. Results Any of aconitine, mesaconitine and hypaconitine induced SCR, mesconitine-induced SCR rate was highest at low concentration (0.3 μmol/L), and aconitine-induced SCR rate highest at high concentration (3 μmol/L). Compared with the control, 12 min after the perfusion with acnitine, mesaconitine and hypaconitine at 3 μmol/L elevated F0 (1.459 ± 0.379, 1.585 ± 0.493, 1.213 ± 0.254vs.1.079 ± 0.108, allP<0.05) and ΔF(1.615 ± 0.455, 2.210 ± 0.756, 1.528 ± 0.422vs. 1.036 ± 0.125, allP<0.05), mesaconitine with ΔF higher than aconitine and hypaconitine. At low concentration (0.3 μmol/L), compared with control, aconitine, mesaconitine and hypaconitine increased ΔF (0.409 ± 0.127, 0.423 ± 0.107, 0.414 ± 0.118vs.0.260 ± 0.065;P<0.05 orP<0.01) and contraction amplitudes (5.464% ± 2.239%, 7.449% ± 2.548%, 5.524% ± 1.645%vs.3.428% ± 0.911%;P<0.05 orP<0.01), prolonged the time to peak of calcium transient (0.041 ± 0.016 s, 0.039 ± 0.009 s, 0.038 ± 0.011 svs.0.032 ± 0.007 s;P<0.05 or P<0.01); compared with aconitine, mesaconitine and hypaconitine decreased calcium transient time constant (0.301 ± 0.054 s, 0.324 ± 0.064 svs.0.361 ± 0.076 s;P<0.05 orP<0.01) and diastolic t50 (0.124 ± 0.035 s, 0.126 ± 0.040 svs.0.157 ± 0.056 s;P<0.05 orP<0.01).ConclusionsAconitine, mesaconitine and hypaconitine reveal the positive inotropic effects couple with the toxic effects. Increased[Ca2+]in cardiac myocytes is the key factor for the positive inotropic effects, but also the risk factor for SCR.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of different Chinese medical treatments on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. Methods 60 SD rats were divided into 5 groups randomly: a sham-operated group, a model group, a removing phlegm and enlarging chest group, an activating blood and dissolving stasis group, and a treating both phlegm and blood stasis group. The model of MI/RI of the myocardium was reproduced by ligation of left descending artery for 30min followed by releasing the ligation for 2 hours in rats. Serum contents of LDH-L, CK were measured , TNF-αand ICAM-1 expressions in myocardium were determined with immunohistochemistry and myocardial ultrastructure at the ischemia region was observed with the transmission electron microscope after myocardial reperfusion injury. Results Compared with the model group, LDH-LXK and TNF-αICAM-1 levels were lower, myocardial ultrastructural changes were improved in all the other four groups treated by different Chinese medicine (P<0.01 or P<0.05), especially in the group treating both phlegm and stasis. Conclusion The removing phlegm and enlarging chest method, activating blood and dissolving stasis method, treating both phlegm and blood stasis method can protect myocardium from M1/R1, especially the method of treating both phlegm and blood stasis.

Objective To explore the relationship between big-five personality,and public mood of volunteers,and to find out the moderator effect of justice sensitivity.Methods A total of 1 022 volunteers were investigated.The Big-Five Inventory (BFI),Public Mood Scale (PMS),Justice Sensitivity Inventory (JSI) were applied to all subjects.Results The average score was (19.77±4.49) for extraversion,(26.69± 4.13) for agreeableness,(23.33±5.37) for conscientiousness,(12.49±4.91) for neuroticism,(24.95±5.44)for openness,(8.78±3.23) for positive public mood,(3.46±3.06) for negative public mood and correlated with (26.85± 10.55) for observer sensitivity.The extraversion,agreeableness,conscientiousness and openness were correlated with positive public mood(β=0.31,P＜0.01;β=0.25,P＜0.01;β=0.29,P＜0.01;β=0.26,P＜0.0 1),and negatively correlated with public mood (β=-0.14,P＜0.01;β=-0.29,P＜0.01;β=-0.20,P＜0.01;β=-0.08,P＜0.01).Neuroticism was negatively correlated with positive public mood (β=-0.27,P＜0.01),and positively correlated with negative public mood (β=0.31,P＜0.01).The interaction effect of agreeableness and observer sensitivity negatively correlated with positive public mood,negative public mood (β=-0.09,P＜0.01;β=-0.07,P＜0.05).The interaction effect of neuroticism and observer sensitivity was positively correlated with positive public mood (β=0.08,P＜0.01).Conclusion Observer sensitivity plays a regulative role between big-five personality and mental health,and can slow the negative impact of low agreeableness to positive public mood,strengthen the impact of low agreeableness to negative public mood,and slow the negative impact of high neuroticism to positive public mood.

Objective To strengthen the understanding of the imaging features in congenital aberrant left pulmonary artery (CALPA). Methods All 4 patients underwent chest film and Doppler echocardiography. Thres cases were examined by enhanced spiral CT examination. In addition, MRI and DSA were performed in 2 cases respectively. Thres cases were proven by surgery or autopsy. Results (1) appearances on chest films included cardiomegaly, pulmonary overvascularity, left hilum a little lower than the right one, emphysema, atelectasis, and pneumonia. (2) bronchography showed stenosis of trachea and/or bronchia. (3) Barium esophagram showed an imprint on the left anterior wall of esophagus. (4) Contrast-enhanced spiral CT and MRI showed marked dilatation of main pulmonary artery (MPA) and the root of MPA extended backward to become right pulmonary artery (RPA), the left pulmonary artery (LPA) arose from the RPA directly. (5) echocardiography indicated LPA arose from RPA. (6) DSA showed MPA was marked dilated, and LPA arose from RPA. (7) other abnormalities included 3 PDA, 2 PLSVC, and ~1 ASD. Conclusion CT and MRI are the best methods to diagnose CALPA.

Objective To investigate the inhibition mechanism of gallnut on biofilm formation by MRSA 41577.Methods TTC assay was used to detect inhibitory effects of biofilms formation and mature biofilms.The of PIA on biofilm formation was studied using Congo red agar method.Micro-Ultraviolet Spectrophotometer was used to detect inhibitory effects of the release of eDNA.The influence for Baicalein on icaA and cidA gene expression were detected by RT-PCR method.Results The inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MIC) of MRSA 41577 BF were 0.5 mg/mL and 1 mg/mL, respectively.The inhibitory effect of galla on MRSA 41577BF formation and mature BF was significantly inhibited.Inhibition of MRSA 41577,the MIC and MBC of mature BF were 4 mg/mL and 16 mg/mL.Congo red test results show that Galla can inhibit the synthesis of MRSA 41577 PIA, and the concentration was dose-dependent.The results showed that gallnut could inhibit the release of MRSA 41577 eDNA, and the release amount of eDNA was 3.61μg/OD595 and 11.91μg/OD595 , respectively, when the concentration of gall was 1/2MIC.The release of eDNA was reduced by 69.7% (P<0.01).The expression of icaA and cidA genes in the control group was 9.7% and 6.67%, respectively.The expression of icaA and cidA in the control group was significantly lower than that in the control group ( icaA and cidA, and cidA gene expression were 100%, the expression of icaA and cidA genes were reduced by 90.3%and 93.3%, respectively (P<0.01).Conclusion The inhibitory effect of gallnut on the biofilm of MRSA 41577 is mainly through inhibiting the expression of icaA and cidA genes, and then affecting the synthesis of PIA and the secretion of eDNA .

Objective To investigate the mechanical stability and clinical outcome of minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis of pubic ramus fractures.Methods Stability of minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis and traditional open fixation of pubic ramus fractures was compared in finite element analysis.A retrospective analysis was performed on fractures of pubic rami (126 sides) in 101 consecutive patients treated with minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis from 2005 to 2012.Operation time,intraoperative blood loss and follow-up of fracture healing were evaluated.Results In finite element analysis,traditional open fixation and minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis resulted in the maximum pelvic force of 7.35 MPa and 5.59 MPa,maximum fracture displacement of 4.31 mm and 4.38 mm and relative fracture gap displacement of 0.029 mm and 0.012 mm.Displacement of fracture gap after minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis and traditional open fixation was reduced 26％ and 59％ respectively.In the clinical study,the surgery acquired for pubic ramus fractures averaged 65 minutes with mean blood loss of 94 ml.Follow-up duration was 5-50 months (mean,24.3 months).Reduction of the fracture as assessed using Matta' s criteria was excellent in 118 sides (93.7％),good in eight sides (6.3％).Totally,the fracture was healed within postoperative 12 weeks in 117 sides and within postoperative 6 months in 9 sides.No iatrogenic nerve or vascular injury occurred.Conclusions Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis is a safe and effective technique for fixation of pubic ramus fractures.Moreover,satisfactory results can be achieved together with less trauma and better cosmetic effect.
