Endocrinology is a new and important medical science.Owing to the great development of modern scientific revolution,it improves quickly.However,the development of endocrinology abides by the laws of epistemology and dialectics.It embodies not only the practicality,penetration,creativity of the scientific cognition,the law of the unity of oppositeness in the growth of the object,but also the high unity of comprehension and analysis of the cognition.

The objective of the present study was to examine the effect of angiotensin-(1-7) 〔Ang-(1-7)〕 on coronary flow and cardiac function in isolated guinea-pig hearts. The isolated guinea-pig heart was perfused in a Langendorff mode. Coronary flow, heart rate, left ventricular pressure and its first derivatives (±dp/dtmax) were recorded. Results showed that Ang-(1-7) (100 or 300 nmol*L-1) caused an increase in coronary flow and an impairment in cardiac function in isolated guinea-pig hearts. Indomethacin, a cyclooxygenase inhibitor, did not affect the effect of Ang-(1-7). However, the increased coronary flow by Ang-(1-7) was abolished by pretreatment of Nω-nitro-L-arginine-methyl-ester, a nitric oxide(NO) synthase inhibitor. These results suggest that Ang-(1-7) increases coronary flow and reduces cardiac function, and that the vasodilating action is related to stimulation of NO release.

Objective To study the toxicity of fosthiazate feeding for 90 days in rats, and to determine the maximal non-effective dose of fosthiazate , in order to provide the reference dose for safety in production and chronic toxicity experiment.Methods A total of 80 SD rats ( half female and half male ) were randomly divided into 4 groups, respectively:0.8 mg/kg· bw· d group, 4.0 mg/kg· bw· d group, 20.0 mg/kg· bw· d group, and normal control group .The rats were sacrificed to determine the indices including serum biochemical parameters , body weight , routine urine test and organ coefficients after the end of the experiment , and the results were statistically analyzed .Results In the high dose group, the body weight gain was slowed in male and female rats .The TG and CHE in the high dose group of male rats and the TP, ALB, CREA, GLU, and CHE in the high dose group of female rats were significantly lower than those of normal control group.The ALP in the high dose group of female rats was higher than that of the normal control group .The positive rates of BIL, SG, and PRO in both male and female rats had significant differences compared with those of normal control group.The organ coefficients of brain , lung, kidney, adrenal, and testis of male rats, and the organ coefficients of brain , lung, and kidney of female rats in the high dose group were significantly higher than those of the normal control group .The ovaries and uterus in the female rats of high dose group were significantly lower than those of normal control group ( P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusions The oral dose of fosthiazate at 4.0 mg/kg· bw· d fed for 90 days and above cause toxic effects on rats , and its maximal non-effect dose of long-term intake of low-dose fosthiazate on rats is 4 mg/kg· bw· d.

Objective To study the effects of different levels of hemodilution during extracorporeal circulation(ECC) on the concentration of lactic acid and postoperative outcome in children with congenital heart disease.Methods Sixty children with congenital heart diseases undergoing open heart surgery with ECC were randomly divided into three groups: groupⅠ(n=20) underwent mild hemodilution [Hb(80—90)g/L],groupⅡ(n=20) with medium hemodilution [Hb(70—79)g/L],and groupⅢ(n=20) with deep hemodilution [Hb(60—69)g/L].The concentration of lactic acid and PaO_2 in groupⅡ and group Ⅲ were compared with groupⅠ before ECC,during ECC,after ECC and 24h after the operation.The rate of homologous transfusion during ECC and the postoperative dosage of furosemide were also compared among the three groups.Results The concentrations of lactic acid and PaO2 in the three groups were all within normal range before ECC,during ECC,after ECC and 24h after operation.The homologous transfusion rate during ECC were lower in groupⅡ(30%)and groupⅢ(15%) compared to that of groupⅠ(50%)(P

BACKGROUND: An isodamine, a kind of alkaloid, is extracted from Anisodus tanguticus (Maxim.) Pascher and is also a good protective agent of cell. However, functional change of mitochondrion is the most sensitive index reflecting cell injury.OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of anisodamine on brain mitochondrial damage following global cerebral ischemia and reperfusion in domestic rabbits and explore its mechanism.DESIGN: Totally randomized controlled trials.SETTING: Emergency Department of Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology.MATERIALS: The experiment was carried out in the laboratory of Emergency Department, Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, from September to December in 2002. Thirty healthy domestic rabbits of either sex were used and randomized into sham-operation group, ischemia-reperfusion group and anisodamine group with 10 rabbits in each group.METHODS: The models of complete cerebral ischemia and reperfusion injury in rabbits were established by ligation of bilateral common carotids and vertebral arteries with systemic hypotension, ischemia lasting for 20 minutes followed by 2-hour reperfusion. Anisodamine group was injected with anisodamine at a dose of 10 mg/kg body mass via femoral vein one minute before reperfusion, and lasted for 2 hours at a dose of 5 mg/hour by micro-pump. Ischemia-reperfusion group was treated with normal saline of the same volume.

Objective To investigate the relationship between urine IgG of the first hospitalized children suffered allergic purpura and recurrence within one year. Methods Used immunoturbidimetry to determine acute-stage and convalescent urine IgG of 43 children suffered allergic purpura in the first hospitalized and no recurrence within one year (no recurrence group), and of 29 children suffered allergic purpura and recurrence within one year (recurrence group), and of 28 hospitalized children suffered primary nephrotic syndrome during the corresponding time period before hormonal therapy (nephrotie syndrome group), and of 30 children done medical examination in out-patient clinic (control group), then analyzed.Results There was no significant difference of the urine IgG level in acute-stage between no recurrence group [(1.391± 0.743) g/L] and recurrence group [(1.474 ±0.658) g/L](P>0.05), while they were all lower than that in recurrence group [(2.808 ± 0.683) g/L] (P < 0.01). The level of convalescent urine IgG in nephrotic syndrome group [(0.202 ± 0.154) g/L] was obviously higher than that in no recurrence group [(0.115 ±0.103) g/L] and control group [(0.109 ±0.098) g/L](P<0.05). Conclusion Urine IgG is a significant index to judge the activity and recurrence and prognosis of pedo-allergie purpura.
