To lay a foundation for the type selection of the ambulance helicopter. The type selection was explored from the aspects of platform selection, rescue environment and service requirements, analyzing the rescue in the helicopter and the tendency of the ambulance helicopter in foreign countries and China. The types of the am-bulance helicopter were determined as the specific and modified ambulances, with the considerations such as operation environment, flight performance, cabin structure, onboard equipment, cabin configuration, fixation device and protection. Specific ambulance helicopter is supposed to be based on small- or mediate-sized platform, while the modi-fied ambulance helicopter is supposed to be based on large or heavy platform.

AIM: To observe the effects of valsartan on the cardiac hypertrophy and the expression of PTEN in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). METHODS: Twenty 12-week-old male SHR were randomly divided into 2 groups:SHR positive control group and valsartan treating group ( 30 mg?kg -1?d -1). 10 homogenous Wistar-kyoto (WKY) rats were served as normal control group. Blood pressure and the ratio of left ventricular weight to body weight(LVW/BW)of rats were monitored periodically during the 8-weeks studies. Expression of PTEN in cardiac myocytes was determined by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: Blood pressure and LVW/BW increased in the valsartan group more than those in the SHR control group, and the expression of PTEN in cardiac myocytes in valsartan group increased more than that in the SHR control group, but the indexes were lower than those in the WKY group. CONCLUSION: Valsartan can not only inhibit the progression of cardiac hypertrophy in spontaneously hypertensive rats, but also increase the expression of PTEN. PTEN may play a role in cardiac hypertrophy.
