The effects of Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) and verapamil(Ver)on hemo-dynamics of internal carotid artery and superior mesenteric artery were determined and compared in anesthetized Sprague ~ Dawley strain rats. PNS 30-150 mg ? kg-1 iv was shown to reduce the mean blood pressure, internal carotid arterial resistance and superior mesenteric arterial resistance by 11 % ~19%, 14%~27%,23%~ 39%respectively. Meanwhile, the mesenteric ar-terial blood flow increased.by 16%~51%. Ver showed similar reflects as PNS. The results indicated that the vasodilation effects of PNS and Ver are vascular selective, that is PNS and Ver are more potent in dilating the mesenteric artery than the internal carotid artery.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of interferon alpha (IFNα) combined with adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) for patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) non-responding to 24-week IFNα monotherapy.Methods Sixty CHB patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University during 2009 and 2012 were enrolled in the study.All patients recieved IFNα monotherapy for 24 weeks and had no response.The patients were randomly divided into 3 groups by number table with 20 cases in each group.The experimental group was treated with IFNα combined with ADV,the control group 1 continued IFNα monotherapy,and the control group 2 shifted to ADV monotherapy.Virological,serological and biochemical responses were compared,and adverse reactions were observed.SPSS 19.0 software was used for data analysis.Results After 24 weeks of treatment,there was no statistical difference in HBV DNA loads,ALT levels and titers of HBeAg and HBsAg among three groups (F =0.985,0.717,0.985 and 0.717,P ＞ 0.05).And no HBeAg seroconversion was observed.After 48 weeks of treatment,the experimental group had higher HBV DNA negative conversion rate,ALT normalization rate and HBeAg conversion rate than control group 1 (x2 =10.00,3.956 and 4.800,P ＜ 0.05),but no statistically significant difference was found in HBeAg negative conversion rate (x2 =0.693,P ＞ 0.05).There was no significant difference in HBV DNA and HBeAg negative conversion rates between experimental group and the control group 2 (x2 =1.026,1.905 and 0.156,P ＞0.05),but the HBeAg conversion rate in experimental group was significantly higher than that in control group 2 (x2 =4.800,P ＜ 0.05).No HBsAg negative or serological conversion was observed,and there was no significant difference in titers of HBsAg among three groups (F =1.935,P ＞ 0.05).No adverse reaction was observed.Conclusion For patients nonresponding to IFNα monotherapy,combination of IFNα and ADV can achieve higher ALT normalization rate,HBeAg conversion rate and HBV DNA negative conversion rate,and improve the overall efficacy of CHB antiviral therapy.

Objective To test the effects of restuscitation with air or oxygen on the blood gas and cerebral superoxide dismutase (SOD) concentration in neonatal rats with experimental intrauterine asphyxia. Method Seventy-seven neonatal rats were randomly (random number) divided into three experimental groups: sham operation group (SHAM), air resuscitation group (AR), and oxygen resuscitation group (OR). In groups AR and OR, animal models of intrauterine asphyxia were established and then resuscitated with air (AR) or oxygen (OR) for 30min. Comparison was made between groups including the mortality 0 hour after resuscitation, and the levels of blood gas and cerebral SOD concentrations 0 h, 6 h and 24 h after resuscitation. Results Mortality of neonatal rats in SHAM group, AR group and OR group were 0 (0/24), 0 (0/26) and 3.7% (1/27), respectively (P ＞0.05). The average levels of blood PaO2 in OR group and AR group 0 h after resuscitation were (69.2 ± 8.2)mmHg and (55.5±10.3) mmHg,respectively (P=0.004). Blood pH and PaCO2 and BE levels in OR group 0 h after resuscitation were not significantly different from those in AR group (P＞0.05). Blood pH, PO2, PCO2and BE levels in OR group were also not significantly different from those in AR group 6 h and 24 hours after resuscitation. The average concentrations of cerebral SOD in OR group 0 h and 6 hours after resucitation were (38.3±9.8) U/mgprot and (8.6±3.6) U/mgprot, and those in AR group were (53.8± 10.6) U/mgprot and (13.0±4.6) U/mgprot, respectively (P = 0.003, 0.04). The cerebral SOD concentration in OR group 24 hours after resuscitation was not significantly different from that in AR group (P＞0.05). The cerebral SOD concentrations in SHAM group 0 h,6 h and 24 hours after resuscitation were much higher than those in OR group and AR group (P＜0.05). Conclusions Resuscitation with air is as good as pure oxygen in neonatal resuscitation, in respect of early mortality and improvement of acidosis in neonatal rats after intrauterine asphyxia. Resuscitation with air will generate less radical oxygen species than pure oxygen in neonatal rats after intrauterine asphyxia.

Objective: To investigate the apoptotic effects and its mechanisms on K562 cells caused by Interferon-alpha (INF-?) and Cytarabine (Ara-C). Methods: The variation of both morphology and inhibitory rate of K562 cells was observed in culture medium with IFN-? and various concentrations of Ara-C at different time in vitro. The variation of telomerase activity and P53 protein expression were detected before and after apoptosis occurred. Results: INF-? and Ara-C used concurrently could cause apoptosis and inhibit the growth of K562 cells as well as decrease the telomerase activity and increase P53 protein expression significantly. All these processes showed both in time- and dose-dependent manner. Conclusions: INF-? and Ara-C used concurrently can inhibit the growth of K562 cells and induce apoptosis, inhibiting the telomerase activity and increasing the expression of P53 protein may be one of the most important mechanisms.

In addition, the effect of douching operative field with 5-FU and distilled water on the expression of c-met mRNA was also analyzed. Results ①The proto-oncogene c-met mRNA could be detected in axillary drainage after operations for breast cancer by RT-PCR, and its positive rate was higher than that in routine pathological detection for micrometastasis in the axillary lymph nodes (P

Usually experiments done on isolated working heart preparation must be completed within 1 h, because of declining of cardiac functions after going beyond that limit reported by many authors. Our experiments on guinea pig showed that the viability time lasted at least 2 h. All measured indices of cardiac performance, namely LVP, dP/dtmax, MASP, HR, CF, AF, CO, LVPW, MVO2 and. working efficiency, remained stable within that period of time, .when PcO2 and PO2 of perfusing solution were adjusted at 4.7~7.3 kPa and over 67 kPa respectively, resulting in stability of pH value in 7.4 or so. Modification of the Krebs solution by devoid of phosphate and addition of pyruvate and EDTA may also be responsible for prolongation of the viability time. After such improvement, the preparation will give sufficient time to study the effect of drugs. Its use will be greatly widened.1 -10 mg/L cobra cardiotoxin increased CO, AF, LVEDP, MASP, LVP, dP/dtmax, decreased CF, and unchanged HR.MVO2 and working efficiency were insignificantly increased. These results obtained from this preparation were in accordance with that from other isolated cardiac preparations.
