AIM To study if cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) alter cardiovascular functions by its direct inhibitory effect on carotid sinus baroreceptor (CSB) activity. METHODS The functional curve of carotid baroreceptor (FCCB) was constructed and the functional parameters of carotid baroreceptor were measured by recording sinus nerve afferent discharge in anesthetized male rats with perfused isolated carotid sinus. RESULTS ① CCK-8 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 μmol·L-1 shifted FCCB to the right and downward, with a marked decrease in peak slope and peak integral value of carotid sinus nerve discharge in a concentration-dependent manner, indicating the inhibitory effect of CCK-8 on CSB activity. ② Pretreatment with proglumide (100 μmol·L-1), a nonselective CCK receptor antagonist, or Bay K8644 (0.5 μmol·L-1), an agonist of calcium channel, partially attenuated the inhibitory effect of CCK-8 (0.5 μmol·L-1) on CSB activity. Pretreatment with L-NAME (100 μmol·L-1), an inhibitor of NO synthase, did not affect the inhibitory action of CCK-8. CONCLUSION CCK-8 inhibits CSB activity, which may be mediated by activating CCK receptors in the carotid sinus area and thereby resulting in an inhibition of stretch-sensitive channels and decrease in Ca2+ influx.

AIM To elucidate the effect of rhynchophylline(Rhy) on carotid sinus baroreceptor activity (CBA). METHODS By recording sinus nerve afferent discharge activity with isolated carotid sinus perfusion, parameters of CBA, such as peak slope (PS), peak integral value (PIV), threshold pressure (TP) and saturation pressure (SP) were examined. ①Rhy 10, 50, and 100 μmol·L-1, dissolved in K-H solution, was perfused into isolated carotid sinus, then the effects of Rhy on parameters of CBA were observed while intrasinus pressure was altered in a stepwise manner. ②NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) 10 mmol·L-1, tetraethylammonium (TEA) 1 mmol·L-1 and Bay K8644 500 nmol·L-1 were perfused into isolated carotid sinus, and effects of them on the response of carotid baroreceptor to Rhy were observed. RESULTS ① By perfusing the isolated carotid sinus with Rhy 10 μmol·L-1, PS decreased from (19.2±0.3)% to (18.2±0.1)%·kPa-1and the PIV decreased from (219.3±3.3)% to (199.1±3.8)%, while TP and SP increased from (8.2±0.3) to (9.1±0.1)kPa and (21.5±0.1) to (22.1±0.1)kPa, respectively. By perfusing with Rhy 50 and 100 μmol·L-1, the changes in PS, TP and SP were in concentration-dependent manner, and this indicated inhibitory effect of Rhy on CBA. ②Pretreatment with L-NAME 100 μmol·L-1 did not affect inhibitory action of Rhy 50 μmol·L-1 on CBA. ③Pretreatment with TEA 1 mmol·L-1 had no effect on inhibitory effect of Rhy 50 μmol·L-1 on CBA. ④Pretreatment with Bay K8644 500 nmol·L-1 could mostly attenuate effect of Rhy 50 μmol·L-1 on CBA. CONCLUSION Rhy inhibits CBA via blocking calcium influx in baroreceptor nerve ending.

ObjectiveTo investigate the immunological characteristics of the patients with aplastic anemia (AA) and elevated hemogram parameters treated with Yiqi Yangxue prescription combined with Western medicine and the predictive effects of immunological indexes on elevated hemogram parameters, thus providing a reference for the prediction of the treatment efficacy and the adjustment of the treatment regimen. MethodA retrospective study was conducted, involving 77 AA patients treated with Yiqi Yangxue prescription combined with Western medicine for 6 months in 19 medical institutions including Xiyuan Hospital, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences from September 2018 to March 2021. The patients were assigned into two groups according to the elevations in hemogram parameters [including hemoglobin (HGB), white blood cell count (WBC), platelet (PLT), and absolute neutrophil count (ANC)] after 6 months of treatment. One group had the elevation <50%, and the other group had the elevation ≥50% compared with the baseline. The clinical and immunological characteristics were compared between the two groups. Result① Compared with the group with HGB elevation<50%, the group with HGB elevation≥50% showed elevated level of CD3+ human leukocyte antigen-DR (HLA-DR)+ and increased proportion of patients with T-helper cell type 2 (Th2)<5%, CD8+≥50%, and CD3+HLA-DR+≥9% before treatment (P<0.05, P<0.01). The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that CD8+≥50% before treatment was the independent influencing factor for HGB elevation ≥50% [odds ratio (OR)=12.000, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.218, 64.928, P<0.01]. ② Compared with the group with WBC elevation<50%, the group with WBC elevation≥50% showed increased proportion of patients with CD3+HLA-DR+<6% and T-box transcription factor (T-bet)≥200% before treatment (P<0.05). The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that CD3+HLA-DR+<6% (OR=2.998, 95%CI 1.036, 8.680, P<0.05) and T-bet≥200% (OR=3.634, 95%CI 1.076, 12.273, P<0.05) before treatment were independent influencing factors for WBC elevation≥50%. ③ Compared with the group with PLT elevation<50%, the group with PLT elevation≥50% presented lowered Th1 and CD3+HLA-DR+ levels and increased proportion of patients with Th1<12%, CD4+≥6%, and CD3+HLA-DR+<5% before treatment (P<0.05, P<0.01). The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that CD3+HLA-DR+<5% before treatment was the independent influencing factor for PLT elevation≥50% (OR=16.190, 95%CI of 3.430 to 76.434, P<0.01). ④ Compared with the group with ANC elevation<50%, the group with ANC elevation≥50% showed no significant changes in the hemogram parameters before treatment. ConclusionAs for the AA patients with rapid elevation in HGB, Yiqi Yangxue prescription combined with Western medicine demonstrate significant effects in the patients with Th2<5% and CD3+HLA-DR+≥9%, especially those with CD8+≥50%. As for the AA patients with rapid elevation in WBC, the therapy was particularly effective in the patients with CD3+HLA-DR+<6% and T-bet≥200%. As for the AA patients with rapid growth in PLT, the therapy was particularly effective in the patients with Th1<12% and CD4+≥6%, especially those with CD3+HLA-DR+<5%.
