AIM To study whether KB-R7943 has selective inhibitory effect on the inward and outward Na+-Ca2+ exchange current (INa-Ca) in guinea pig ventricular myocytes. METHODS Through setting up the model of intracellular Na+-overload during myocardial ischemia and reperfusion, the current-voltage relationship of INa-Ca was recorded using whole-cell patch clamp technique under bi-directional ionic conditions. RESULTS Currents were elicited by a declining ramp pulse depolarized immediately from holding potential of -40 mV to +60 mV, then repolarized to -100 mV at a speed of 80 mV*s-1 and returned to the holding potential under bi-directional ionic conditions, while the [Na+] was 25 mmol*L-1 in the pipette solution. The currents increased time-dependently and voltage-dependently which reached from (2.51±0.15) pA*pF-1 to (5.94±0.13) pA*pF-1 at +50 mV and from (-1.92±0.13) pA*pF-1 to (-3.17±0.16) pA*pF-1 at -80 mV (n=12) after 3 min and there is no significant run-down of the current. KB-R7943 10-6 mol*L-1 was found to decrease the current to (4.62±0.05) pA*pF-1 by 29.4% at +50 mV and to (-2.30±0.18) pA*pF-1 by 22.1% at -80 mV (n=5) after 5 min. While 10-5 mol*L-1 KB-R7943 was shown to decrease the current to (3.13±0.03) pA*pF-1 by 61.7% at +50 mV and to (-1.62±0.03) pA*pF-1 by 56.9% at -80 mV (n=7). CONCLUSION KB-R7943 can block INa-Ca in guinea pig ventricular myocytes. But, it did not show selective inhibition effect on inward and outward currents.

Objective To observe how the ACC transmits nociceptive information and how it regulates spinal noceciption.Methods A total of 32 male SD rats were randomly divided into four groups:Sham group,CCI group,ACC group,and AP-5 group.After light-dark transition test, forced swimming test (FST),paw withdrawal mechanical threshold (PWMT),paw withdrawal ther-mal latency (PWTL)had been measured,the rats were finally anesthetized,then ACC and the spinal cord was rapidly removed,the expression of cAMP-response element binding protein (pCREB)and extracellular regulated protein kinases (pERK)were measured by Western blot.Results Compared with the sham group,the PWMT of the CCI rats were significantly decreased,rats spent less time in the light compartment and number of transition were decreased (P <0.01 ).The immobility time in FST were also significantly prolonged (P <0.01).After AP-5 injected in bilateral ACC 13 days after CCI operation,the PWMT of the CCI rats were significantly increased,rats spent more time in the light compartment and number of transition were increased (P <0.01).The immobility time in FST were also significantly shortened (P <0.01).Compared with sham group,the expression of pCREB, pERK increased significantly in ACC in CCI group (P <0.01).The expression of pCREB,pERK in spinal cord was increased in CCI group and decreased in AP-5 group (P <0.01 ).Conclusion ACC facilitate the spinal nociception in a descending mode.

RESULTS: The linear range of ginsenoside R e concentration was from 0.66 to 3.29?g?mL -1 and correlation coefficient was 0.9991, the linear range of ginsenoside R g1 concentration was from 1.05 to 5.27?g?mL -1 and correlation coefficient was 0.9998. The average recovery of sample was 98.2% and RSD 2.2% ( n =5), respectively. CONCLUSION: The method is simple and convenient, accurate with a good reproducibility and can be used for determination of ginsenoside R e and R g1 in Compound Jiangtang Oral Liquid.

Objective To assess alternations in left ventricular volume and systolic synchrony in patients with frequent premature ventricular complexes(PVCs) from the right ventricular outflow tract(RVOT).Methods Twenty-nine patients with frequent isolated PVCs from RVOT were included and 30 healthy subjects as control.Instantaneous full-volume imaging(IFI) was performed to evaluate left ventricle volumetric parameters,including end-systolic volume (ESV),end-diastolic volume (EDV),stroke volume (SV),ejection fraction (EF),and systolic synchrony parameters,including systolic dyssynchrony index (SDI),dispersion end-systole (DISPES),mean end-systolic time (MES),pre-contraction time volume (PreContr) and post-contraction time volume (PostContr).Contraction front mapping was performed to visualize volumetric contraction sequence.All values of patients with PVCs were recorded during sinus beats (PVC-S) and premature ventricular beats (PVC-V) respectively.Results Significant differences were observed in left ventricular systolic volumetric and synchrony parameters between PVC-V and control subjects (P<0.01),as well as in MES and PreContr between PVC-S and control subjects (P<0.01).Conclusions Left ventricular systolic dysynchrony was demonstrated in patients with PVCs from RVOT.IFI was a novel tool to analyze left ventricular global and regional volumetric alternations.

Objective To analyze the impact of medical insurance reimbursement mechanism on the income of urban community health centers run by various entities. Methods The data of the baseline survey of community health centers in 28 cities made in 2007 were called into play. These data were used to compare the percentage of the annual medical insurance income from outpatient clinics of three types of community health centers in their gross annual income and their annual outpatient clinic income. Results For 929 community health centers with income from medical insurance reimbursement, the average percentage of their annual income from outpatient clinic accounts for 24% of their gross annual income and 26. 09% of their annual outpatient income;In respect of the reimbursement rates of medical insurance at outpatient clinics, the highest come from those run by enterprises, secondly those by the government,and the least those run by social organizations or individuals. Conclusion The mechanism of medical insurance reimbursement has already affected the income of the third type of community health centers. It is recommended to raise the coverage rate of medical insurance of such type of centers and their reimbursement rates of medical insurance. This may further consolidate the policies of medical insurance reimbursement.

Objective To observe the acute skin and mucous membrane reactions in patients treated with concurrent radiochemotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma,and to analyze the influencing factors.Methods A total of 85 nasopharyngeal carcinoma cases treated with concurrent radiochemotherapy were enrolled in the study.Fifteen clinical and laboratory indexes,including BMI,radiation dose,degree of acute oral mucous and skin reactions and blood routine test were observed weekly.Univariate and multivariate regression analysis were performed to assess the factors,and screen the independent factors.Results Multiple-factor analysis showed that the risk factors cloesly related with acute radioactive oral mucosa reactions were smoking history(OR =3.467,P < 0.05),single-dose of gross tumor volume (GTV) >2.15 Gy(OR =3.393,P < 0.05),while those with acute radiation skin reactions were diabetes history(OR =87.859,P < 0.05) and hemoglobin values 1 week before radiotherapy > 130 g/L (OR =21.404,P < 0.05).Conclusions In the patients treated with concurrent radiochemotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma,smoking history and single-dose of GTVnx is the independent risk factors of acute radiation oral mucosa reactions,while diabetes history and hemoglobin values I week before radiotherapy are the independent factors of acute skin reactions.
