1.Alterations of ion channels in cerebrovascular smooth muscle cells during hypert ension
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 1987;0(02):-
Cerebrovascular remodeling is the most important pathologic change during hypertension. Stroke induced by hypertension is threatening thousands of people's lives. The ion channels in cerebrovascular smooth muscle cells may be altered during hypertension and thus the abnormality of cytosolic ion concentration can accelerate cerebrovascular remodeling. These channels, including potassium channels, calcium channels and chloride channels, may play an important role in the cerebrovascular remodeling during hypertension.

BACKGROUND: Direct observation of infarcted microvaseular perfusion after cerebral infarction is the most immediate evidence in evaluation of therapeutic effects.OBJECTIVE: To observe dynamic changes in flowing quality and field in cerebral ischemic area in rats so as to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze the microvascular state in pia matral encephali ischemic area and the changes of associated leukocytic flowing velocity and flowing morphology.DESIGN: Randomized controlled experiment was designed.SETTING: Department of Acupuncture and Moxibustion of General Hospital Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: The experiment was performed in Research Room of Microcirculation of General Hospital Chinese PLA, in which, 120 female Wis tar rats of 2-month old were employed and randomized into acupuncture group (36 rats), model group (36 rats), sham-operation group (36 rats) and normal group (12 rats). The first 3 groups were subdivided in 3 hours, 6hours and 24 hours groups according to the prescriptive time divisions, 12rats in each group.METHODS: In acupuncture and model groups, after abdominal anesthesia with pentobarbital sodium, the cranium was opened and the occlusion of meddle cerebral artery was performed in cerebrum with heat-coagulation method. In sham-operation group, anesthesia and cranium opening were performed, but the meddle cerebral artery was not occluded. In normal group, no any management was performed. In acupuncture group, 60 minutes after occlusion of meddle cerebral artery in cerebrum, needling was given on Renzhong (GV 26) and Neiguan (PC 6) with electric stimulation of disperse-dense wave, 4-10 Hz frequency and 0.4 V of intensity, lasting for 5 minutes. Afterwards, pecking-acupuncture technique was done on Renzhong (GV 26) to achieve strong stimulation for 10 seconds. In shamoperation and model groups, the rats were in process of grasping and fixation, but acupuncture was not applied. Vascular endotheliocyte fluorescence staining and leukocyte fluorescence tracing method were applied, in combination with microscopic video system and computer imaging analyzing system, to observe in dynamic and quantitatively the influences of acupuncture on pia matral encephali microvascular morphology, density and blood flowing velocity at 3 hours, 6 hours and 24 hours after cerebral occlusion of meddle cerebral artery.morphology, density and blood flowing state at various time divisions observed directly microscopically and vascular endotheliocyte morphology and the state of brain tissue which near the microvascular after infusion with velocity in infarcted area at various time divisions measured in quantity in each group.microvascular endotheliocytes were colored worse and more fluorescent exudation appeared. Those were better remarkably in acupuncture group ty: That in model group was lower than normal group. That at 3 hours, 6hours and 24 hours in acupuncture group was higher remarkably than model group [(6.92±0.42), (3.25±0.52) pces/visual field; (7.61 ±0.51),(3.68±0.32) pces/visual field; (8.24±0.72), (5.49±1.2) pces/visual leukocyte velocity: That in model group was lower remarkably in normal group. That at 3 hours, 6 hours and 24 hours in acupuncture group was higher remarkably than model group [(1 193±358), (600±261) μm/s;(1 112±267), (517±115) μm/s, (1 766±293), (611±291) μm/s, q=4.608.28, P < 0.01].CONCLUSION: At early stage of cerebral infarction, broken blood flow is severe in artery, vein and capillary in ischemic area; the numbers of opened vessels are few, flow rate is slow down and cerebral perfusion is unsatisfactory. Acupuncture amaliorate the microcirculation perfusion state in ischemic area, increases the numbers of opened vessels and improves flowing morphology of blood cell.

Objective To study the ulnar nerve and its adjacent structures in the forearm and understand the anatomic basis for endoscopic harvesting of the ulnar nerve for the treatment of brachial plexus avulsion injury. Methods Ulnar nerves and their adjacent structures in 6 formaldehyde solution fixed upper limb specimen and 26 fresh upper limb specimens were carefully dissected and observed and measured. The entry path and implementation were designed according to the observations. Simulated operation was performed in 6 fresh autopsy specimens Results In the forearm, ulnar nerve passes through the flexor carpi ulnaris under the medial epicondyle of the humerus and the dorsal branch of the hand passes between the ulnar bone and flexor carpi ulnaris. Also the ulnar nerve descends through intermuscular space, accompaning the ulnar artery in the distant part of the forearm and the artery lies laterally along the nerve. The simulated operations were successfully done in all the 6 specimens. Conclusions The anatomy of the ulnar nerve in the forearm is fairly fixed with no crossing with important structures in its path, incisions of 1~2cm are made above the pisiform bone and under the medial epicondyle of the humerus 3~5cm respecitvely, After isolation of the ulnar nerve's two crosses from the muscle, the remaining part of the ulnar nerve and its adjacent structures are easily dissected. It is concluded that it is safe and reliable to harvest the ulnar nerve in the forearm with endoscopy.

By analyzing relevant documents of procurement of drugs with target quantity in Shanghai, com-bined with onsite investigations and interviews, this paper summarizes the practice of procurement of drugs with target quantity in Shanghai from six aspects, namely the basic situation of centralized procurement, pilot scope and variety of procurement of drugs with target quantity, business qualification and certification, determination of successful bid-der, drug distribution, and drug payment settlement. This paper argues that Shanghai has successfully implemented the policy of procurement of drugs with target quantity, by scientifically establishing a comprehensive evaluation index of quality, setting up private drug procurement accounts, prepaying drug procurement loans and strengthening plat-form services and regulatory capabilities, in order to effectively guarantee the operation of procurement of drugs with target quantity. From this case study of Shanghai, it can draw the following implications that in order to successfully achieve procurement of drugs with target quantity mechanism, setting up functional departments of unified authority is the most important guarantee, and using technical means and platform building is the basic conditions. Therefore, the setting up of economic and technical bidding should focus on the individual properties of generic drugs, and the pro-moting of tripartite system reform will help to further expand the scope of procurement of drugs with target quantity.
