Objective:To constract a method of measurement microamount hydrogen sulfide (H_2S) using sensitive sulphur electrode. Methods: According to the physical and chemical characters of H_2S, H_2S, which in the fluids by mean of physical dissolve and chemical shape, is turned to sulphur ion (S 2-) by chemical responses. After the microamount of S 2- was measured by sensitive sulphur electrode, and the concentration of H_2S was converted, a method was constructed to measure the H_2S. It was used to analyze the concentrations of H_2S of plasma in rats and humans, the endogenous concentration of H_2S of cardiovascular tissue in rats, and CSE activity of cardiovascular tissues and cells. Results: The exponential regression of S 2- in the extent including 1 to 80 ?mol/L was found using sensitive sulphur electrod. The H_2S levels of plasma in male and female rats were 40?4 and 41?5 ?mol/L, respectively, and significant difference was not found; those in venous blood plasma of men and women were 33?4 ?mol/L and 35?5 ?mol/L respectively, without significant difference. There were not significant differences in the aortic endogenous levels of H_2S (24?6 and 25?5 nmol/mg pro) and myocardial levels (19?4 and 19?6 nmol/mg protein) between female and male rats. There were no different results of CSE activity in aortal tissue using sensitive sulphur electrode or traditional methods, however, the CSE activity of vascular smooth muscle cells could be accurately measured using sensitive sulphur electrode, which was difficult in using traditional method. Conclusion: The sensitive sulphur electrode assay was fit for the analysis of CSE/H_2S pathway in cardiovascular research.

Objective A comparative study of clinical factors and dose-volume histogram (DVH)parameters on the impact of radiation pneumonitis occurred in the three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy of lung cancer (lung target)and mediastinal tumors and esophageal (mediastinal target).Methods Review 83cases lung cancer,mediastinal tumors and esophageal patients,and analyzed with chi-square tests on the correlation of the clinical factors (gender,age,tumor location,stage,chemotherapy) with radiation pneumonitis;have relevance analysis between the DVH parameters of two targets and radiation pneumonitis; lung target and mediastinal target volume DVH parameters compared to the t-test.Results ≥2 radiation pneumonitis was 36.5 ％.≥2 radiation pneumonitis occurred in various clinical factors had no significant effect.DVH parameters of the two targets,V5,V10,V20,V30,whole lung dose (MLD) were significantly related to RP.Two targets of RP patients V5 [(50.9±17.8) ％,(69.9±20.4) ％],V10 [(38.6±15.2) ％,(53.5±18.8) ％] were statistically significant by t-test (t =2.434,P ＜ 0.05),while V20 (t =0.388,P ＞ 0.05),V30 (t =0.005,P ＞ 0.05) and MLD (t =0.138,P ＞0.05) were no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05),so the same results with the two targets of patients without RP obtained.Conclusion In the lung target and mediastinal target of radiotherapy radiation pneumonitis is related with DVH parameters,especially V20,V30 and MLD impact on the occurrence of RP.

Objective To investigate the dynamic expression from gene and protein levels of hypoxia inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α) during the development of hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (HPH) in neonatal rats.Methods A neonatal rat model of HPH was established,normal neonatal rats were enrolled as the control group.At the 3th 、7th、10th and 14th days,we measured the mRVSP through catheterization of right ventricule,collected hearts to figure out the right ventricular hypertrophy index(RVHI),evaluated vascular remodeling by the percentage of medial thickness to outer diameter of the small pulmonary arteries (MT％) and the percentage of medial cross section on area to the total cross section area of the pulmonary small arteries (MA％),observed the expression of HIF-1α by immunochemistry,and measured the expression of HIF-1α in mRNA and protein by RT-PCR and Western blot respectively.Results The mRVSP increased at the 3th day,and sustained until the 14th day (P ＜ 0.01).RVHI MT％ and MA％ increased at the 7th day,and sustained until the 14th day (P ＜0.01).HIF-1α mainly expressed in endothelium and smooth muscle cells in the CHPH group and the HIF-1αmRNA increased significantly on the 3th and 7th days (P ＜ 0.05),and the HIF-1α protein increased significantly on the 7th、10th and 14th days in the CHPH group compared with the control group(P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion The mRVSP increased at the early stage after hypoxic exposure in neonatal rats,followed by vascular remodeling and right ventricular hypertrophy.Both mRNA and protein levels of HIF-1α sustained higher than control group during the vascular remodeling stage,indicating that HIF-1α might be a important factor contributing to the vascular remodeling.

AIM: To observe the effect of hydrogen sulfide (H_2S) on the rat cardiac function in vitro, to explorer the physiological regulation of endogenous H_2S on myocardial action. METHODS: H_2S concentration and production in the rat myocardial tissues were detected. The expression of CSE (a kind of key enzyme of endogenous H_2S production) mRNA in myocardial tissues was screened by RT-PCR. Langendorff apparatus was used to perfuse the rat heart in vitro. After 20 minutes of stabilization, NaHS (10~-6 -10~-3 mol/L) were added cumulatively in order to the perfusive fluid, and another group applied physiological concentration NaHS (4?10~-4 mol/L), continuously perfusion for 20 min, heart rate (HR), difference of left ventricular pressure (△LVP), left ventricular peak rate of contraction (+LV dp/dt_~max ), peak rate of relaxation (-LV dp/dt_~max ) and coronary perfusive flow (CPF) were measured at the times. Finally, glibenclamide was applied to block the K_~ATP channel of heart, to observe the effect of NaHS at physiological concentration on cardiac function. RESULTS: NaHS concentration-dependently inhibited left ventricular ?dp/dt_~max and △LVP (P
