To evaluate the effects of diltiazem hydrochloride (D) and verapamil (V) on hypertensive left ventricular (LV) diastolic function, the measurement of pulsed Doppler transmittal inflow was performed in 44 patients (22 cases in each group) before, and at 3 h and 7 h after single large dose. Sixteen patients of D group and 11 of V group received routine dose for one month. The Doppler diastolic function indexes included EDC EV/AV, EA/TA AA/TA and 1/3 FFd. The result showed that blood pressure was reduced to the same level in two groups, but improvement of LV diastolic function was more significant in D group. It is concluded that two calcium antagonists can improvement of LV diastolic function after single large dose, but improvement of LV diastolic function is not completely related to reduction of Hood pressure. After one month, since D can reduce Wood pressure and improve mycardial ischemia more markedly than V, and the negative inotropic effect is lower than V, D is superior to V in improving LV diastolie function

Objective To investigate the ultrasonographic characteristics of angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia (AFH). Methods The ultrasonographic and pathological characteristics in nine patients with pathologically confirmed AFH were retrospectively analyzed. Results All the 9 patients were hyaline vascular type of AFH. Ultrasonic manifestations included complete capsule, regular shape and clear boundary, internal solide low echo, mild posterior echo enhancement and without cystic degeneration, which was relative to the less incidence of necrosis and hemorrhage on pathologic findings. Calcification in the lesions were found in two patients. Color Doppler flow signals were observed in the periphery of lesions in 9 patients, and rich flow signals were observed in the center of lesions in 2 of them. Conclusion The ultrasonic manifestations of AFH has its own characteristics. The ultrasonic manifestations combined with clinical features are helpful to the differential diagnosis. The final diagnosis depends on pathologic examination.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of advanced glycosylation end products (AGEs) modified bovine serum albumin (AGE-BSA) on the expression of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in human renal mesangial cells (HRMCs).
METHODSHRMCs were cultured in vitro with medium containing different doses of AGE-BSA or BSA (50,100, 200, 400 mg/L) for 48 hours, or with AGE-BSA (200 mg/L) for different times (12, 24, 48, 72 h). Immunocytochemistry assay was used to estimate the protein level of RAGE. The ROS in cells were measured by flow cytometry and the mRNA expression of MCP-1 were analyzed by semi-quantiative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) after treatment with AGE-BSA or BSA.
RESULTSThe protein level of RAGE was upregulated in the HRMCs with AGE-BSA. The expression of ROS and MCP-1 significantly enhanced by incubation of AGE-BSA in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The effects of AGE-BSA-induced up-regulation of ROS and MCP-1 level was significantly blocked by neutralizing antibodies to RAGE, while the expression of ROS and MCP-1 stood nearly unchanged after cultured with huamn IgG.
CONCLUSIONThe expression of ROS and MCP-1 in HRMCs is induced by AGE-BSA through RAGE, which may have potential effects in the pathgenic mechanism of diabetic nephropathy.
