Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 1986;0(02):-
The kinetic alterations of plasma prekallikrcin(PKA) and antithrombin Ⅲ (AT-Ⅲ) following myocardial infarction induced by 2 injections subcutaneously of 85 mg isoproterenol/kg at 24 hours interval in rats were detected in this study, and the relationship between PKA, AT-Ⅲ and myocardial ischemia induced by isoproterenol were also discussed. It was found that the activity of PKA decreased significantly and AT-Ⅲ tended to decrease at 4 hours after the first injection of isoproterenol, both of the PKA and AT-Ⅲ at 24 hours were lower than those at 4 hours and evidently lower than those of normal control, and at 48 hours after the first injection of isoproterneol the PKA was still maintained at the same level of 24 hours but the AT-Ⅲ almost returned to the normal level.

OBJECTIVE:To observe therapeutic efficacy of dexmedetomidine combined with propofol for sepsis infection deliration in patients underwent continuous intravenous blood replacement,and to study pharmacokinetic study. METHODS:60 patients with sepsis infection deliration underwent continuous intravenous blood replacement were selected and randomly divided into observation group and control group with 30 cases in each group. Control group was given propofol 0.5 mg/kg,and observa-tion group given dexmedetomidine and propofol. Therapeutic efficacy of 2 groups were analyzed comparatively,and pharmacoki-netic parameters of propofol were studied. RESULTS:The pharmacokinetic parameters of propofol as elimination half-life period (t1/2β),slow distribution half-life period (t1/2α) were shorter than literature reference value,with statistical significance (P<0.05),while the distribution rate constants(K21,K13,K10),the central compartment volume of distribution(VC),systemic clear-ance(CL),rapid distribution half-life period(t1/2pi)had no statistical significance,compared with literature reference value(P>0.05). After treatment,ICDSC score of 2 groups were decreased significantly,with statistical significance(P<0.05),while the observation group was significantly higher than the control group,with no statistical significance before and after treatment(P>0.05);the average hospital stay of observation group was significantly shorter than that of control group,with statistical signifi-cance(χ2=6.263 4,P=0.000);the incidence of ADR in control group was significantly higher than the observation group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Dexmedetomidine combined with propofol have good effect on sepsis infec-tion deliration in patients underwent continuous intravenous blood replacement,and can reduce the length of hospital stay and the incidence of ADR.

Objective: This study was undertaken to explore the effect of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) on failing heart after myocardial ischemia. By detecting the changes of plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) levels within 6 hours after the implantation of LVAD, we review the basis on which neurohormones may be used to determine prognoses of failing heart and choose an optimal predictor. Methods: 15 adult healthy dogs were divided into 3 groups randomly. The LVAD was implanted in LA-AO bypass in all three groups. Myocardial ischemia was induced by ligating the main left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD). In group A, after a ligation of 10 minutes, the myocardium was reperfused for 6 hours. In group B, after a ligation of 40 minutes, the myocardium was reperfused for 6 hours. In group C, after a ligation of 40 minutes, the LVAD was used for LV support for 6 hours. Results: After 6 hours reperfusion,in group C, the hemodynamics was significantly improved, the ANP, BNP and cTnI were return to normal level, and myocardial ultrastructure was recovered significantly. While in group B, the hemodynamic, the neurohormones, and myocardial ultrastructure were worse. Relational analysis demonstrated that ANP and cTnI levels were influenced by hemodynamics obviously, but there was a weak relationship between circulating BNP and hemodynamics. Plasma BNP level was able to identify the cardiac function status. Conclusion: LVAD can be beneficial to improve cardiac function and can reduce the plasma levels of ANP, BNP and cTnI. Plasma BNP level can identify the cardiac function status. Those findings indicated that plasma BNP determination provides important prognostic information about cardiac function and may be a better prognostic indicator.
