AIM To investigate whether dipfluzine (Dip) possesses antiarrhythmic effect on experimental arrhythmias and effect on cytosolic calcium in ventricular myocytes of guinea-pig. METHODS Experimental arrhythmias were induced by strophanthin G infusion through jugular vein in guinea-pigs and by myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) in rats respectively. Cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) of isolated guinea-pig ventricular myocytes was examined with laser confocal scanning microscope. RESULTSIn guinea-pigs pretreatment with Dip 20 mg·kg-1 increased the dosages of strophanthin G required to induce ventricular premature contraction (VP), ventricular tachycardia (VT), ventricular fibrillation (VF) and cardiac arrest (CA), pretreatment with Dip 10 mg·kg-1 increased the dosages of strophanthin G required to induce VP. In the I-R-induced arrhythmic model of rats, Dip 20 mg·kg-1 decreased the number of rats exhibiting VT, VF and CA, and the number of rats exhibiting VF and CA was decreased by Dip 10 mg·kg-1. Both Dip and verapamil (Ver) decreased [Ca2+]i of the ventricular myocytes in normal Tyrode′s solution. The Ca2+ overload evoked by high extracellular Ca2+ levels was inhibited by Dip and Ver, and the prophylactic effect of Dip was less than that of Ver, while the curative effect of Dip was more obvious than that of Ver. CONCLUSION Dip has antiarrhythmic effect, which is likely related to the modulation on the intracellular calcium homeostasis.

Objective To observe the therapeutic efficacy of the Chinese medical herb decoction qu yin tang combined with narrow-band ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) phototherapy on psoriasis vulgaris, and to investigate its influ-ence on osteopontin (OPN) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in serum. Methods Sixty patients with psoriasis were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group. The treatment group was treated with qu yin tang and NB-UVB; the control group was treated with qu yin tang only. The levels of OPN and VEGF in serum were detected in both groups before and after treatment using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Twenty healthy persons' serum samples were taken as controls. At the same time, any changes in psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) scores in the two groups were recorded and compared. Results After 8 weeks of treatment, PASI scores and levels of OPN and VEGF had been reduced significantly in both groups, and there was a significant difference between the treatment group and the control group. Conclusions Chinese medical herbs combined with NB-UVB phototherapy is a safe and effective method for the treatment of psoriasis. The results suggested that OPN and VEGF may play an important role in the pathogenesis of psoirasis vulgaris.
