Direct Digital Frequency Synthesis(DDS) technology is realized on complex programmable logical component(CPLD) with hardware description language.SCM controls CPLD by the input/output port through the procedure so as to produce the profile signal for power module.Then the high pressure shielding system controls the power module so as to drive the output transformer for the high frequency high-pressure output of high frequency electricity knife.This system has such characteristics as good frequency stability,revision convenience and so on.The CPLD hard wire logic is described through Verilog HDL,and the monolithic integrated circuit firmware is compiled through Keil C51.This article carries on the detailed elaboration for software and hardware design through the code example and the principle schematic drawing.

AIM: To investigate the activity and distribution of calcineurin (CaN) in different tissues of rat. METHODS: Using western blot and immunohistochemical staining methods to measure the amount and location of CnA?, isoform of catalytic subunit of CaN in different tissues of rat. CaN activity was measured by labelled substrate peptide. RESULTS: 1. Western blot showed that CnA? expression was detected in brain, heart, skeletal muscle and lung tissues. There was no detectable CnA? expression in kidney and aorta. 2. In immunohistochemical staining study, there was strong immunostaining of CnA? in brain. CnA? was located in cytoplasm of cardiac cell, macrophage and connective tissue of peribronchiolar in lung tissue, aorta adventitia, connective tissue around small vessels and outer wall of renal tube. 3. CaN activity was highest in brain, the following was skeletal muscle, myocardium and lung tissue. CaN activity was lowest in aorta and kidney tissue. CONCLUSION: CaN is widely distributed in rats and might be involved in functional regulation of various organs and tissues.

Objective: To determine the role of cross-talk between calcineurin-dependent signal transduction pathway and protein kinase C (PKC), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and protein kinase A (PKA) in airway remodeling in asthma. Methods: Male guinea pigs were sensitized with intraperitoneal injections of ovabumin (OVA), then treated with cyclosporin A (CsA,5 mg/kg), an inhibitor of calcineurin, then inhaled OVA for 2 weeks 14 days later. Activities of calcineurin, PKC, MAPK, and PKA were was analyzed by phosphorylation and dephosphorylation. In primary cultures of rat airway smooth muscle cells (ASMC), activities of calcineurin, PKC, MAPK, and cross-talk induced by urotensin Ⅱ (UⅡ), a recently identified strong mitogen, were measured. Results: (1) The activities of calcineurin, MAPK and PKC increased by 19% (P0.05). (4) CsA 10 -6 mol/L inhibited UⅡ-stimulated PKC activity by 14% (P0.05). Conclusion:The signal transduction pathways between calcineurin and other protein kinases such as PKC, MAPK and PKA have cross-talk in airway remodeling in asthma.

AIM: To investigate the effect of endothelin (ET), angiotensin II (AngII) and homocysteine (Hcy) on C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) synthesis and release. METHODS: Human endothelial cell was cultured; CNP was measured by radioimmunoassay method. RESULTS: ET and AngII could augment CNP synthesis in human endothelial cells. Compared with control group, 10-9,10-8,10-7 mol/L ET and Ang II increased CNP content of endothelial cells by 1%(P>0.05), 49%(P<0.05),117%(P<0.01) and 137% (P<0.01),165%(P<0.01),201%(P<0.01),respectively. A great dose of ET and Ang II also stimulated CNP release from cultured human endothelial cells. Hcy had no effect on CNP synthesis, but 10-9,10-8,10-7 mol/L Hcy enhanced CNP release from cultured human endothelial cells by 17%(P>0.05),84%(P<0.01) and 555%(P<0.01), respectively. CONCLUSION: ET, AngII and Hcy might be involved in the synthesis and release of human endothelial cell CNP.

AIM: To study the role and regulation of calcineurin(CaN) in angiotensin II(AngⅡ)-stimulated cardiacmyocyte hypertrophy of rats. METHODS: Using AngⅡ to induce the cultured cardiac myocyte hypertrophy of rats, and investigating the effect of CaN inhibitor on [ 3H]-leucine incorporation of AngⅡ-stimulated cardiomyocytes and the regulation of various factors on CaN activity in cardiomyocytes.RESULTS: AngⅡ can stimulate the CaN activity in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes in a dose- and time-dependent manner. In cardiac myocytes incubated with 10, 100, 1000 nmol?L -1 of AngⅡ for 12h, the CaN activities increased respectively by 13%,57%( P

AIM: To observe the effect of adrenomedullin(ADM)on proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMC) induced by urotensin Ⅱ(UⅡ). METHODS: DNA synthesis of cultured rat aortic VSMC was measured by -TdR incorporation. The activities of mitogen activated protein kinase(MAPK) were determined by isotope tagged with [?- 32 P]-ATP. RESULTS: UⅡ(10 -8 mol/L) significantly increased -TdR incorporation of VSMC and MAPK activities by 38%( P0.05 ), 32%( P0.05 ), 32%( P

Control group 21 patients with metastatic gastrointestinal tumor with confirmed diagnosis were treated with only chemotherapy.ResultsThe effects of observation group could be observed in 22 patients, the rate of response(RR)was 31.8% (7/22), and the disease control rate (DCR) was 72.7 % (16/22).QOL was improved.The effects of observation group could be observed in 21 patients,RR was 14.3 % (3/21),and the disease control rate was 42.8 % (19/21).DCR and QOL improvements were statistically significant different between the two groups.(x2=3.939,x2=4.250,P<0.05).The two groups had no significant difference in RR and toxicity.ConclusionNimotuzumab in combination with chemotherapy is effective and can improve the disease control rate, toxicity, tolerance,quality of life.
