Objective To evaluate the effects of bupivacaine and ropivacaine on guinea pig papillary muscle action potential Methods The guinea pig papillary muscle preparation was exposed to ropivacaine (1, 3 or 5?g?ml -1 ) or bupivacaine ( 1, 3 and 5?g?ml -1 ) respectively, to measure maximum rate of depolarization (Vmax ), action potential amplitude (APA),action potential duration at 50% of repolarization(APD 50 ), and action potential duration at 90% of repolarization(APD 90 ) Results Vmax significantly decreased after exposure to both agents at all concentrations, Vmax decreased by 27 4% with ropivacaine at 5?g?ml -1 , and the degree was similar to that with bupivacaine at 3 ?g?ml -1 (28 4%) ,but was significantly lower than that with bupivacaine at 5 ?g?ml -1 (42 6%) (P

AIM: To investigate the anti-DIC effect of the domestic recombinant hirudin (rH) in order to provide preclinical pharmacological basis for its new drug application. METHODS: DIC was induced by constant iv infusion of thrombin (100 U?kg -1 ?h -1 ?1 h) plus PAMBA (50 mg?kg -1 ?h -1 ?1 h). Platelet count (PLT), PT and fibrinogen (FIB) determination as well as plasmaprotamine paracoagulation (3P) test served as diagnostic indexes of DIC, while pathlogical examination of microthrombosis of lungs and kidneys was followed. RESULTS: rH 125,62.5,31.25 and 15.625 ?g?kg -1 iv. gtt demonstrated a dose-dependant inhibitory effect on DIC. The inhibitory effects on DIC of rH(%) were 89.38%, 52.60%, 49.71% and 25.58% for PT, and 100.01% , 61.86%, 58.40% and 32.68% for PLT, and 85.22%, 73.01%, 33.60% and 14.86% for FIB respectively at the descending order of rH doses. CONCLUSION: Domestic rH being tested has powerful anti-DIC effect which is comparable with refludan—an r-hirudin product approved by European Community for marketing.

Objective: To observe the effects of panaxtriol saponin (PTS) on CK-MB, cTnI, IL-6, TNF-α, and ultrastructure against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) in rats. Methods: Wistar rats were randomly divided into six groups: Sham, MIRI model, positive control, and 22.5, 45, and 90 mg/kg PTS groups. Animal MIRI model was made by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery. Drug was given for seven consecutive days before the operation by ip injection. Rats were sacrificed after 30 min ischemia and 24 h reperfusion. CK-MB, cTnI, IL-6, and TNF-α in serum were measured and the changes of myocardial ultrastructure were observed. Real time PCR was used to evaluate change of NRF2 and HO-1 mRNA level in myocardial tissue. Results: Compared with model, PTS 45 and 90 mg/kg reduced the CK-MB, cTnI, IL-6, and TNF-α in serum and improve the myocardium ultrastructure. Nrf2 and HO-1 mRNA levels in PTS treatment group were higher than those in MIRI model group. Conclusion: PTS plays a crucial role in cardioprotection against the ischemia and reperfusion injury in rats. The protective mechanism suggests that PTS could stimulate NRF2/HO-1 expression in myocardial tissue and then inhibit myocardial inflammation.

Objective To investigate the CXCR 7 protein expression when CXCR 7-shRNA transfected into human gastric cancer cell which mediated with lentivirus vector combined with Rhizoma Paridis Total Saponin. Methods Three shRNA sequences of CXCR 7 and one negative control sequence were designed and synthesized, and recombinant lentiviral vectors with pSilencerTM 4.1 system were established. Transfection of HEK 293 T cells and packaging viral were finished and the titers were detected. Transfection of all recombinant lentiviral vectors and negative control vector were finished and expression of CXCR 7 mRNA were detected by RT-PCR method. Silence efficiency in groups were determined and the expression vector with highest silence efficiency was selected for next experiments.

It maybe means that CXCR 7 gene takes an important role in the process of gastric cancer proliferation and invasion.This is foundation for further study of gastric cancer gene therapy using CXCR 7/CXCL 12 biological axis as a target.

Objective To observe the prokinetic effect of domperidone on esophagus and lower esophageal sphincter (LES), and compare its effect with that of mosapride and cisapride. Methods In vivo experiments: forty rats were divided into control, domperidone, mosapride, and eisapride groups. Strain gauges were planted in proximal esophagus, distal esophagus and LES to record the activities of esophagus and LES in conscious rat. In vitro experiments: in the thermostatic muscle bath, the prokinetic effect of domperidone, mosapride, and cisapride on the contractility of rat muscle strips from esophagus body and LES were recorded by tone-transducers. Results In vivo experiments, ① In the interdigestive period of resting conscious rats, only mild contraction activities were recoded in esophagus bodies. In LES, typical interdigestive migrating motor complex (MMC) with phase Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,and Ⅳ was recorded. The contraction amplitude of LES was much greater than esophagus body. ② Domperidone significantly enhanced the contraction of esophagus body and LES. The mean contraction amplitude of proximal esophagus, distal esophagus, and LES increased by 63.24%±7.17%, 75.54%±5.27%, and 85.81%±6.02%, respectively, compared with controls. The prokinetic effect showed a dose-effect relation. Mosapride at the same dosage increased the mean contraction amplitude of proximal esophagus, distal esophagus, and LES by 29. 71%±4.15%, 40.15%±3.30%, and 35.24%±5.36%, respectively, compared with controls. The prokinetic effects of mosapride on esophagus and LES were much less than domperidone. Cisapride at the same dosage increased the mean contraction amplitude of proximal esophagus, distal esophagus, and LES by 59.84%±6.55%, 70.11%±5.62%, and 75.13%± 5.10%, respectively, compared with controls. The prokinetic effects of cisapride were similar as domperidone. In vitro experiments. ① Domperidone perfusion could significantly increase the contraction of esophagus body and LES muscle strips by 87.74%±7.65% and 92.44±7.17%, respectively, compared with Krebs-Ringer (KR) solution perfuslon. Mosapride at the same dosage increased the mean contraction amplitude by 35.42%±5.02% and 31.12%±4.32%, respectively, compared with KR controls. The prokinetic effects of mosapride were much less than domperidone. Cisapride of the same dosage showed a similar prokinetic effect as domperidone. ② Atropine and tetrodotoxin could block the prokinetic effects of domperidone on esophagus and LES. Conclusions Domperidone can significantly enhance the esophagus body contraction and LES motility. The effects of domperidone are similar as cisapride and much greater than mosapride. The prokinetic effects of domperidone on esophagus and LES are not only through well-known dopaminergic receptor blockade, but also through the cholinergic nerves of the enteric nervous system.

Objective The aim of this article is to discuss the relation between serum uric acid and prehypertension, and to evaluate the influence of age, obesity, fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and lipids in Chinese adults. Methods All the 14 451 non-hypertensive samples were analyzed for blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), FPG, lipids and serum uric acid. Results The serum uric acid levels were stratified by quintiles, after adjustment for relevant factors, OR values of prehypertcnsion increased with the elevated uric acid levels. Serum uric acid level was 200-380 μmol/L, it had a linear relationship with the risk of prehypertension, 200 μmol/L as a turning point for this linear relationship, FPG could affect their correlation (P ＜ 0.0001 ). Conclusions Serum uric acid was associated with prehypertension, independent of metabolic risk factors. The associations were not significant in old individuals. FPG may modify the associations.
