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.

To compare the effects of polysaccharide nucleic acid fraction of bacillus calmette guerin (BCG-PSN) and thymopeptides on T-lymphocytes of normal and immunosuppressed mice, CD4+ and CD8+ T-lymphocyte subsets of single nucleic cell in thymus, spleen and peripheral blood were detected successively by flow cytometry after application of BCG-PSN and thymopeptides. Meanwhile, CD4+/CD8+ ratio was also calculated. The results showed that both BCG-PSN and thymopeptides could decrease the proportion of CD4+ CD8+ T-lymphocyte subsets in the thymus, at the same time increase CD4+ T-lymphocyte, CD8+ T-lymphocyte proportion in the three tissues. The fluctuation in amplitude was greater in thymopeptides group than that in BCG-PSN group. It is concluded that acting location of thymopeptides is in thymus, its stimulating action is stronger than that of BCG-PSN, while BCG-PSN not only accelerates the differentiation in thymus, but also has some direct stimulation to peripheral CD4+ T-lymphocytes, and can maintain CD4+/CD8+ ratio within normal range. So, BCG-PSN is safer.

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.
