I sopropylmine vanillinate (IV) given iv 5 , 10 mg/kg in anesthe tized rats produced a dose-dependent decrease in mean arterial pressure and a concomitant decrease in heart rate.In pithed rats IV was unable to shift the phenylephrine doserespon-se curve to the right, but prazosine caused 53-fold shift.No direct effect of vasodilation was shown by IV on rabbit aorta strips .The concentration-response curve of isoprenaline in isolated rat right atrium was competitively inhibited by IV and propranolol. pA2 value was 4.0 for IV and 8.2 for propranolol. In addition, 'IV depressed contractility & heart rate of isolated rat atria.These results suggest that the hypotensive action of IV may be related to the decrease of HR, inhibition of contractility and slight blocking of B-adrenergic receptor. However the mechanism underlying the hypotensive effect of IV is to be further studied.

IQ86034 (5.3).In addition, the blocking action of 4 isoquinoline derivatives on ?1 and ?2 adrenoceptors was similar to that of benzoquinolizine derivatives.

AIM　To investigate the effect of 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) on ion channels of myocytes. METHODS　L-type calcium channel and sodium channel currents were recorded in guinea pig single ventricular myocyte using whole-cell patch-clamp techniques. RESULTS　4-AP, 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 mmol*L-1 were shown to inhibit L-type calcium channel currents (ICa,L) and sodium channel currents (INa) concentration-dependently. The percentage of inhibition were (11.6±1.7)%, (37.5±8.3)% and (54.5±6.9)% (P<0.01) respectively for ICa,L, and (22.1±14.3)% (P<0.05), (39.4±8.8)% and (62.3±6.8)% (P<0.01) respectively for INa. 4-AP 0.5 mmol*L-1 shifted the I-V curves of ICa,L and INa upwardly. CONCLUSION　4-AP blocked L-type calcium channel and sodium channels in guinea-pig ventricular myocytes concentration-dependently.

Objective To synthesize a quantum dot (QD) to recognize glioma cells for imaging and photodynamic therapy. Methods By one-pot aqueous approach, near infrared-emitting CdTe was produced. After detection of its physicochemical characterizations, RGD was conjugated. Emission images were observed with confocal microscopy. To test its toxicity, CdTe-RGD with various concentrations was separately added into U251 and 3T3 cells for incubation in dark circulation. To test its photodynamic effect, U251 and 3T3 cells were then irradiated for 5 ~ 60 min using 632.8 nm laser. Results The QD (Φ = 3.75 nm, PL peak wavelength =700 nm, PLQY=20%) achieved was a spherical crystal with excellent monodispersity. Under confocal microscope , U251 cells were visualized but 3T3 cells not. In dark circulation, the survival rates of both U251 and 3T3 cells were above 85%. After laser irradiation, the survival rate of U251 cells decreased to (37 ± 1.6)%with the increasing of irradiation time and CdTe-RGD concentration. Conclusion With good physicochemical characterization and low toxicity, CdTe-RGD could be applied in biomedical imaging and photodynamic therapy of gliomas.

Objective To observe the effects of live combined bifidobacterium,lactobacillus and enterococcus powder on immunoglobulin E (IgE) and interleukin-17 (IL-17) in atopic children with bronchiolitis.Methods Sixty cases of atopic children with bronchiolitis were randomly divided into the therapy group (30 cases) and the control group (30 cases).Twenty-five healthy children were enrolled as the healthy control group.Both the therapy group and the control group were given traditional therapy.The therapy group received live combined bifidobacterium,lactobacillus and enterococcus powder for 2 months.The change of IgE and IL-17 levels were observed during the acutestage,remission stage and after receiving live combined bifidobacterium,lactobacillus and enterococcus powder for 2months.Results (1) The levels of IgE and IL-17 of therapy group[(132.36 ±9.50) μg/L and (77.76 ±7.95)μg/L] during acute stage were markedly higher than those in the healthy control group [(52.80 ±4.92) μg/L and (46.92 ±4.79) μg/L] (all P ＜0.001).The levels of IgE and IL-17 of control group [(128.83 ± 8.06) μg/L and (76.61 ±6.18) μg/L] during remission stage were markedly higher than those in the healthy control group [(52.80 ±4.92) μg/L and (46.92 ± 4.79) μg/L] (all P ＜ 0.001).(2) The levels of IgE of therapy group (56.67 ± 9.20)μg/L after receiving live combined bifidobacterium,lactobacillus and enterococcus powder for 2 months were markedly lower than those in the control group (70.50 ± 11.38) μg/L (P ＜ 0.001).The levels of IL-17 of therapy group [(49.63 ± 6.35) μg/L] at the time after receiving live combined bifidobacterium,lactobacillus and enterococcus powder for 2 months were markedly lower than these in the control group (54.77 ± 6.33) μg/L (P =0.003).Conclusion Receiving live combined bifidobacterium,lactobacillus and enterococcus powder for two months can decrease the IgE and IL-17 levels in atopic children with bronchiolitis.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy on anal function after intersphincteric resection (ISR) with low rectal cancer. Methods:A total of 103 patients were classified into the chemoradiotherapy (CRT) group and control group according to whether they received neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. Anal function was assessed using vectorial manometry, Saito function questionnaires, and Wexner incontinence scores. Results:The resting vector volume and squeezing vector volume of the CRT group were significantly lower than those of the control group prior to the operation. Both groups showed decreasing manometric re-sults after ISR. However, all indices of the CRT group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). At 6 and 12 months after operation, the Saito questionnaire results reveal poor function for the CRT group compared with the control group, except for dyschesia. After 24 months, the stool frequency, ability to distinguish between feces and flatus, fragmentation, and alimentary re-striction remained poor for the CRT group (P<0.05). Although both groups showed decreasing Wexner scores with time, the score of the CRT group remained significantly higher than that of the control up to 24 months after operation. Conclusion:Neoadjuvant chemo-radiotherapy significantly affects the anal sphincter function for intersphincteric resection with low rectal cancer. This effect continues for at least 2 years after operation.

Objective To investigate the effect of proteasome inhibitor MG132 on the proliferation of human lens epithelial cells SRA01/04. Methods The SRA01/04 cells were treated with MG132 by different concentrations (0, 0. 1, 0. 5, 1. 0, 2. 5, 5.0, 10. 0μmol/L) for 36 hours. The cell viability in all groups was determined using methylthiazoltetrazolium (MTT) test. The effect of MG132 on the apoptosis and regulation of cell cycle about SRA01/04 cells were detected by flow cytometry (FCM). The SRA01/04 cells treated with MG132 were observed after Annexin V/FITC-PI staining by fluorescence microscope. Results The inhibitory effect of MG132 on SRA01/04 cells proliferation was enhanced with the increase of MG132 concentration. The 50% inhibiting concentration ( IC50 ) of MG132 was 2. 50μmol/L after SRA01/04 cells were treated with MG132 for 36 hours. The apoptosis index of the cells treated by MG132 at 2. 5μmol/L and 5 μmol/L for 36 hours was 6. 55 ± 0. 35% and 13.75 ± 3.18%, and 0. 75 ± 0. 21% for 5.0μmol/L for 36 hours in control group. After cells were treated with MG132 for 48h, the percentages of cells at G0/G1 phase were (42. 57 ± 0. 64) %, (73.42 ± 3.10) %, ( 80. 95 ± 3.83 ) % 0, 2. 5,5.0 μmol/Lgroups respectively, and those at S phase were (49. 44±1.36)%, ( 17. 40 ± 1.50)%, ( 19. 57 ± 1.29)%.Annexin V/FITC-PI staining was used, and MG132 was found to result to apoptosis. Conclusions MG132 could inhibit the proliferation of SRA01/04 cells by the effect of inducing apoptosis and regulation of cell cycle. The proteasome inhibitor-might play a key role in the prevention of posterior capsular opacification.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of bilateral and unilateral metallic stenting in the treatment of unresectable malignant hilar biliary obstruction.Methods:From January 2012 to December 2018, a total of 300 patients with malignant hilar biliary obstruction (Bismuth type Ⅱ-Ⅳ) were treated with endoscopic metallic stenting in Oriental Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital. Ninety-four patients with bilateral metallic stenting (bilateral metallic stent group) and 94 patients with unilateral metallic stenting (unilateral metallic stent group) were matched and analyzed by propensity score matching. The clinical success rate, the total number of interventions, the stent patency and overall survival time were compared between the two groups.Results:The clinical success rate in the bilateral metallic stent group was significantly higher than that of the unilateral metallic stent group [98.9% (93/94) VS 78.7% (74/94), χ2=19.352, P<0.001], and the mean number of intervention in the bilateral metallic stent group was significantly less than that of the unilateral metallic stent group (1.2±0.5 times VS 1.7±0.9 times, t=-4.345, P<0.001). The stent patency time in the bilateral metallic stent group was significantly longer than that of the other group [10.0 (8.0, 12.1) months VS 5.7 (5.2, 6.3) months, χ2=19.789, P<0.001]. The median survival time of patients in the bilateral group was numerically longer than that in the unilateral group, but did not reach statistical significance [7.6 (6.3, 8.9) months VS 4.6 (3.7, 5.7) months, χ2=3.628, P=0.057]. Conclusion:Endoscopic bilateral metallic stenting is superior to unilateral metallic stenting in the clinical management of malignant hilar biliary obstruction unsuitable for surgery.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility and efficacy of endoscopic placement of transpapillary parallel-style bilateral metal stents for malignant hilar biliary stricture.Methods:A total of 55 patients with malignant hilar biliary stricture (Bismuth Ⅱ-Ⅳ) were treated with an improved endoscopic drainage technique (endoscopic transpapillary parallel-style bilateral metal stenting) from January 2012 to December 2018 in Shanghai Oriental Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital. The technical success rate, clinical success rate, incidence of complications, success rate of endoscopic re-intervention, stent patency and overall survival were analyzed.Results:The technical success rate of endoscopic placement of bilateral metal stents was 96.4% (53/55), the clinical success rate was 96.2% (51/53), and the early complication incidence was 13.2% (7/53). The median stent patency was 9.2 months (95% CI: 8.0-10.3 months), the success rate of endoscopic re-intervention of bilateral biliary systems was 92.3% (12/13), and the median overall survival was 6.7 months (95% CI: 4.7-8.8 months). Conclusion:This modified technique of bilateral metal stent placement is safe and effective for malignant hilar biliary stricture that is unsuitable for surgery.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of three approaches of parallel-style bilateral metal stenting in the management of unresectable malignant hilar biliary obstruction.Methods:Data of 118 patients with unresectable malignant hilar biliary obstruction (Bismuth type Ⅱ-Ⅳ) treated by endoscopic bilateral metal stenting in Oriental Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital from January 2012 to February 2019 were retrospectively studied. According to the method of stent placement, patients were divided into three groups, both stents crossing the main duodenal papilla (long long-stent by stent, LL-SBS) group (53 cases), one stent crossing the papilla (long short-SBS, LS-SBS) group (53 cases) and no stent crossing the papilla (short short-SBS, SS-SBS) group (12 cases). The main outcomes, clinical success rate, stent patency, success rate of re-intervention of both intrahepatic systems and overall survival, were compared among the three groups.Results:There were no significant differences in clinical success rate [96.2% (51/53), 98.1% (52/53), and 91.7% (11/12)], median stent patency [9.2 (8.0-10.3) months, 11.6 (6.8-16.4) months, and 8.1 (3.7-12.5) months] or overall survival time [6.7 (4.6-8.8) months, 7.6 (5.7-9.4) months, and 7.1 (0.7-13.6) months] among the three groups (all P>0.05). The success rate of endoscopic re-intervention of both intrahepatic systems was 12/13, 0/10, and 1/5 in LL-SBS, LS-SBS and SS-SBS groups, respectively ( P<0.001). Conclusion:Parallel-style bilateral metal stenting is an effective endoscopic modality in the treatment of malignant hilar biliary obstruction, and LL-SBS may improve the success rate of endoscopic re-intervention to both intrahepatic systems.
