The action of BTHP on a-adrenoceptor was studied in anococcy-geus muscles, vas deferens and cell membrane of cerebral cortex of rats and aortic strips, saphenous vein of rabbit. BTHP produced parallel shifts to the right of dose-response curves for phenylephrine in rat anococcygeus muscle and rabbit aortic strips without change in the maximal responses. Their pA2 values were 5.8 and 5.86 respectively. BTHP was also a competitive antagonist for presynaptic and postsynaptic ?2-adrenoceptors on prostatic portion of rat vas deferens( pA2 against clonidine=5.2 ) and on rabbit saphenous vein ( pA2 against B-HT920=5.3 ) . BTHP decreased in dose-dependent manner 〔8H〕 prazosin and 〔3H〕 clonidine specific binding to ?1- and ?2- adrenoceptors on cell membrane of cerebral cortex in rats with IC50 of4 and 9.5 ?mol/L and with Ki ( apparent dissociation constant ) of 3.5 and 8.1?mol/L respectively, suggeating that BTHP has affinity for both ?1 and ?2- adrenoceptors of rat cerebrance.

Objective To evaluate the effect of hypothermia on somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs). Methods Thirteen ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients aged 23-51 yr weighing 45-82 kg scheduled for cardiac surgery were enrolled in this study. Bilateral median nerve SSEPs (N9, N13, N20) were recorded after induction.The MAP, peak latency and amplitude of N9, N13 and N20 were recorded when the target temperature (36, 35,34, 33 ℃ ) was reached during the cooling and rewarming periods. The neurological dysfunction was recorded after operation. Results The peak latency was prolonged and MAP was decreased with the decrease in the body temperature during the cooling period, the peak latency was shortened with the increase in the body temperature during the rewarming period ( P < 0.05), but no significant change in the amplitudes was found ( P > 0.05). The regression equation of the interaction between the peak latency and body temperature was YN9= -0.558X + 28.994(r=-0.673), YN13 =-1.121X+53.242 (r= -0.702) , YN20 = -1.458X+72.036(r= -0.702) during the cooling period (P < 0.05), and YN9 = - 0.505X + 27.313 ( r = - 0.634), YN13 = - 0.905X + 46.249(r= -0.619), YN20 = - 1.142X + 61.668 (r= -0.600) during the rewarming period (P <0.05). No neurological dysfunction was found in all the patients. Conclusion Hypothermia can prolong the peak latency of SSEP and does not alter the SSEP amplitude.

Objective To investigate the synergistic regulation of KDM3B and JMJD1C in leukemia. Methods The expression level of JMJD1C and KDM3B were analyzed in multiple acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines. AML cell lines NB4 and HL-60 were treated with Daminozide, followed by determination of H3K9 mono-methylation and di-methylation. AML cell lines NB4 and HL-60 were treated with Daminozide, ATRA (retinoid acid All-trans), C Vitamin and the expression of KDM3B and JMJD1C were detected by real-time quantitative PCR. Results The expression level of KDM3B and JMJD1C in the AML cell lines was negatively correlated. In NB4 and HL-60 cells treated by daminozide, H3K9 mono-methylation and di- methylation level showed a rising trend in these two cell groups. After treatment of NB4 cells with the 3 reagents, the level of mRNA of KDM3B was down-regulated while the level of mRNA of JMJD1C was up-regulated. In HL-60 cells treated by daminozide, the mRNA level of KDM3B was up-regulated and the mRNA level of JMJD1C was down-regulated. Conclusion The expression of KDM3B and JMJD1C is negatively correlated in patients with AML.
