Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 1989;0(06):-
In order to investigate the role of endothelin (ET) in blood pressure re-gulation, the depressor effect of ET_A receptor antagonist -BQ_(123) was observed. After in-travenous administration of BQ_(123) (0.1, 1.0 and 2.0 mg/kg) into spontaneously hyperten-sive rat(SHR) and normotensive WKY rat, their blood pressure decreased in a dose-depen-dent manner, which continued 40-60 min. The blood pressure reducing action of BQ_(123)in SHR was more potent than that in WKY rat. Intravenous injection of BQ_(123) intoWistar rat inhibited pressor reponse induced by exogenous ET-1(2?10~(-9)mol/kg) in adose-dependence manner. ET-1(10~(-7)mol/L) stimulated proliferation of cultured smoothmuscle cells from SHR aorta, i.e., increase in ~3H-thymidine and ~3H-Leucine, however, BQ_(123)effectively antagonized the above action of ET-1. These results suggested that endogenousET to some extent could be involved in the regulation of normotension and also in thedevelopment of hypertension, and that ET antagonists would be useful for clinical preven-tion and therapy of hypertensive diseases.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between anterior cruciate ligament injury and the bone contusion in the posterior of tibial plateau and the risk factors of it.Methods:Data of patients with knee trauma who came to our hospital from Oct. 2017 to Nov. 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. There are 100 males and 55 females with an average age of 40.0±10.6 years (range, 18-60). Bone contusion in the posterior tibial plateauand anterior cruciate ligament, posterior cruciate ligament, medial collateral ligament, lateral collateral ligament and fibula injury were evaluated through imaging data, and injury mechanism, age, sex and the side of injury were collected from medical records. The effect of events on bone contusion in the posterior of tibial plateau was analyzed.Results:Bone contusion occurred in 92 of the 155 patients (56 males and 36 females), with an average age of 39.6±10.5 years (range, 19-55 years). There were 45 cases on right knee and 47 cases on the left side. ACL injury: ACL was completely ruptured in 42 cases, partially ruptured in 34 cases, and had no injury in 16 cases. There were 18 cases with PCL injury, and 74 cases without any injury. There were 57 cases of non-contact injury, and 35 cases of contact injury. There were 57 cases with fibular head injury, and 35 cases without. There were 44 cases with MCL injury, and 48 cases without. There were 13 cases with LCL injury, and 79 cases without. ACL injury degree ( χ2=18.345, P<0.05) and the head of fibula ( χ2=5.495, P<0.05) injury were significantly different between the two groups. There was no significant difference in male ratio ( χ2=1.315, P>0.05), knee side ( χ2=0.880, P>0.05), injury mechanism ( χ2=3.467, P>0.05), age ( t=0.664, P>0.05), LCL ( χ2=0.010, P>0.05)、MCL ( χ2=0.029, P>0.05) and PCL ( χ2=0.161, P>0.05). ACL injury was an independent risk factor for bone contusion in the posterior of tibial plateau ( P<0.05) and the injury of fibula head was an independent risk factor for the formation of bone contusion in the posterior of tibial plateau ( P<0.05) according to logistic analysis. The possibility of bone contusion on the posterior tibial plateau in ACL complete injury was significantly greater than that of ACL partial injury ( OR=2.695, P=0.021). Conclusion:The injury of ACL and fibula head are independent risk factors for the bone contusion in posterior of tibial plateau; ACL complete injury is more likely to be associated with posterior tibial plateau bone contusion than ACL partial injury.

Through summarization on published literatures on allergic rat model in recent 20 years, domestic current research status and trend were analyzed. Some insights were provided on how to build a standard process for modeling and post-modeling evaluation. “Allergic rhinitis,” “rat model of allergic rhinitis”, or “animal experiment” was used as search terms. Related published articles were searched in the CNKI database from August, 1993 to October, 2013. Documents and data, including modeling method, drug dose, modeling cycle, model assessment described in the articles were extracted, summarized and quantitative analyzed. The results showed that 208 valid articles were included in this study. SD rat was used as animal model. Ovalbumin plus aluminum hydroxide were used as adjuvant sensitizing agents. Intraperitoneal injection plus nasal stimulation were the most commonly used modeling method. Behavioral evaluation scale score was used as the main evaluation index. It was concluded that currently there were many methods for allergic rhinitis animal modeling domestically. The post-modeling evaluation was relatively single. It was urgent and necessary to establish the standard process for modeling and post-modeling evaluation for allergic rhinitis animal model.

Objective To provide decision-making information for the spread of techniques that improve the quality of neonates. Methods A systematic study was made of the political, technical, economic and social viability of neonatal disease screening in China by means of economic and policy evaluation, sociological analysis, and statistical analysis. Results Neonatal disease screening was conducted in 29 provinces throughout the country. However, there was a great difference between the provinces in screening coverage. In order to strengthen control, 16 provinces issued methods or regulations concerning neonatal disease screening. Since the Ministry of Health did not issue relevant control methods that would standardize the responsibilities of the organizations undertaking the screening, problems affecting the safety and effectiveness of neonatal disease screening became increasingly prominent. Conclusion It is necessary and viable to conduct neonatal disease screening in China. But macro control of the work by the government needs to be reinforced. The Ministry of Health ought to issue as soon as possible methods for controlling neonatal disease screening and relevant technical criteria. At the same time publicity of the work needs to be strengthened in society so as to give it impetus throughout the country.

Objective To evaluate the effects of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) and low-dose dopamine on renal function during orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) .Methods Eighteen ASA Ⅲ-Ⅳ patients with end-stage liver diseases undergoing OLT were randomly divided into two groups of 9 patients each : PGE1 group (group P) and low-dose dopamine group (group D). Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.1-0.2 mg?kg-1 , fentanyl 5 ?g?kg-1 and pipecuronium 0.1 mg?kg1 and maintained with isoflurane inhalation and intermittent i.v. boluses of fentanyi and pipecuronium. The patients were mechanically ventilated after tracheal intubation. PGE1 was infused at 0.4-0.8?g? kg-1 ? h-1 in group P and dopamine at 1 -3 ?g ? kg-1? min in group D after induction until the end of operation. Swan-Ganz catheter was inserted via right internal jugular vein or subclavian vein and radial artery was cannulated. MAP, ECG, CVP, SvO2 , cardiac output ( CO), SpO2 , PET CO2 and core temperature were continuously monitored during operation. Venous blood samples were taken and urine was collected before induction of anesthesia (T1 .baseline), during preanhepatic (T2) anhepatic (T3) and neohepatic phases (T4) and at the end of operation (T5) for determination of serum creatinine (Cr) concentration and serum and urine concentration of ?2 -microglobulin (?2-MG). Creatinine clearance ratio (CCr) was calculated. Total urine output during operation and urine output and the amount of furosemide given during anhepatic phase were recorded. Core body temperature was maintained above 35.5℃ during operation. Veno-venous bypass (VVB) was performed during anhepatic phase.Results In group P, compared to baseline there were no significant changes in MAP, Cr and CCr duringoperation, while serum ?2-MG decreased significantly at T5 and urine ?2-MG increased significantly at T3-5 . In group D serum ?2-MG was significantly decreased while urine ?2 -MG significantly increased at T2.5 compared to baseline. There was significantly more urine output during anhepatic phase and the whole operation and less furosemide was given in group D than in group P. Conclusion Low dose dopamine is more effective in protecting renal function during OLT than PGE1 .

Objective To summarize the experiences in diagnosis and treatment of thymoma in 120 cases. Methods 120 patients with thymoma were operated on, and the diagnosis was confirmed pathologically, from January 1994 to December 2003 in our department. According to Masaoka clinical and pathological classification, 54 cases were stage Ⅰ, 32 were stage Ⅱ, 22 were stage Ⅲ, 12 were stage Ⅳ. In 42 cases there were symptoms of myasthenia gravis. Result Total excision was performed in 112 cases and partial excision in 8 cases. When the tumor was beyond stage Ⅱ, postoperative radiotherapy was given. Recurrence occurred in 5 patients 1-7 years after operation. Conclusions Surgical resection is currently the main therapeutic method for tumor of the thymus. The preferred surgical approach was excision of thymoma and removal of perithymic fat in the anterior mediastinum through a median sternotomy. Thymoma is a potentially malignant disease, and the patients with the tumor beyond stage Ⅰ must undergo postoperative radiotherapy. Local recurrence of the tumor should be surgically excised.
