The effects of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on pulmonary shunt were studied during gen- eral anesthesia and postoperative period.Twenty cholecystectomy patients were randomly divided into experiment group (group P) and control group (group Z). PEEP and ZEEP were used separately after induction. Artery blood and mixed blood from the right ventricle were taken for blood gas analysis and determine the amount of pulmonary shunting before anesthesia. half and hour, one and half an hour and two and half an hour after anesthesia and one hour after the operation.The results showed that shunt in group P decreased gradually during general anesthesia and returned to the level of preoperation at an hour after operation. Shunt in group Z was increased continually and the level was significantly higher than preoperation an hour after operation. Shunt between two groups was significant difference (P

?Pathological myopia are often complicated by a series of pathological changes in fundus including foveoschisis, which can lead to visual dysfunction when processing with retinal detachment, macular hole, epiretinal membrane and vitreoretinal traction diseases. According to the current knowledge, the main mechanism of foveoschisisi might be attributed to the impaired macular structure and function caused by a variety of traction on the retinal and retina poor condition. Surgical treatments have been reported to be effective in treating foveoschisis, however, the indications and surgical procedures are still controversial. ln this article, we reviewed the clinical features, diagnosis, treatment strategies and prognosis of pathological myopia foveoschisis.

Salvia miltiorrhiza is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and is widely used as a clinically medication for its efficiency in treating cardiovascular disease. Due to TCM is a comprehensive system, the mechanism of S. miltiorrhiza treating cardiovascular disease through integrated multiple pathways are still unclear in some aspects. With the rapid progress of bioinformatics and systems biology, network pharmacology is considered as a promising approach toward reveal the underlying complex relationship between an herb and the disease. In order to discover the mechanism of S. miltiorrhiza treating cardiovascular disease systematically, we use the auxiliary mechanism elucidation system for Chinese medicine, built up a molecule interaction network on the active component targets of S. miltiorrhiza and the therapeutic targets of cardiovascular disease to offer an opportunity for deep understanding the mechanism of S. miltiorrhiza treating cardiovascular disease from the perspective of network pharmacology. The results showed that S. miltiorrhiza treating cardiovascular disease through ten pathways as follows: improve lipid metabolism, anti-inflammation, regulate blood pressure, negatively regulates blood coagulation factor and antithrombotic, regulate cell proliferation, anti-stress injury, promoting angiogenesis, inhibited apoptosis, adjust vascular systolic and diastolic, promoting wound repair. The results of this paper provide theoretical guidance for the development of new drugs to treat cardiovascular disease and the discovery of new drugs through component compatibility.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) on the isolated Langendorff perfused rat hearts and the isolated papillary muscles.

METHODSThe left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP), maximal rise/fall rate of left ventricular pressure (+/-dP/dt(max)), left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP), heart rate (HR) and coronary flow (CF) were recorded in isolated Langendorff perfused rat hearts. The average contractile force was measured in the isolated papillary muscles of rat right ventricle.

RESULTIFN-alpha (10 - 10,000 U/ml) induced a concentration-dependent decrease of LVDP and +/-dP/dt(max), and increase of LVEDP and CF in the isolated perfused rat heart (P < 0.05), and decrease of the average contractile force of the papillary muscle (P <0.05). Pretreatment with L-NAME (10(-4) mol/L), an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase, attenuated the effect of IFN-alpha in the isolated rat hearts and the isolated papillary muscles (P <0.05). Isoproterenol (ISO, 10(-9) - 10(-6)mol/L) increased the contractile force of the rat papillary muscles in a concentration-dependent manner. Perfusion for 10 min with IFN-alpha at 1,000 U/ml attenuated the enhancing effect of ISO. Pretreatment with L-NAME reduced the effects of IFN-alpha on the isolated papillary muscles.

CONCLUSIONIFN-alpha may induce a negative inotropic effect in normal and beta-adrenergic activated cardiac muscles and this effect at least partly be mediated by nitric oxide.
