1.Action of progesteron on smooth muscles of isolated respiratory tract from guinea pig
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 1986;0(06):-
Progesteron could significantly inhibit the contracted effect of strips of tracheal and lung smooth muscles isolated from guinea pigs, which induced by Ach His and 5- HT. It also inhibited the contractility of phase I caused by intracellular calciumefflux in the course of 5 -HT stimulating tracheal smooth muscles and the Schultz - Dale responsiveness of sensilized of tracheal smooth muscles guinea pigs.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of 31 patients suffering from ANCA associated vasculitis(AAV).Methods The clinical data of 31 patients with ANCA positive profiles diagnosed as AAV were analyzed,including ANCA spectrum,renal and other organs' clinical features.Results There were 16 males and 15 females,average admission age(54.19?20.00)years(18 to 84 years).Totally 27 MPA and 4 WG were diagnosed;onset symptoms of renal involvement were in 15 cases and others in 16 cases;18 patients had respiratory system involvements including 8 cases with pulmonary hemorrhage.In admission 27 MPA patients with average SCr(460.42?354.55)?mol/L,and WG group with(659.62?535.1)?mol/L.ANCA spectrum showed 24 P-ANCA cases and 7 C-ANCA cases,while ELISA method showed 25 anti-MPO cases and 6 anti-PR3 cases.Conclusion AAV has many kinds of manifestations and progresses in many variable ways.Kidney and respiratory system are most vulnerable in AAV.The treatment is very limited in advanced stage of AAV.The key to improving the outcome of AAV is early detection of ANCA and early diagnosis.
