Objective To study the effect of moxonidine (Mox) on the His bundle electrogram (HBE) of normal rabbits. Methods A total of 24 healthy rabbits were randomly divided into four groups: control group, small dose of Mox (0.1 mg?kg -1), medium dose of Mox (0.3 mg?kg -1) and large dose of Mox (0.9 mg?kg -1). The electrode catheter was inserted from the right carotid artery to record the HBE. The HBE and the synchronism surface ECG were recorded before and after intravenous injection. Results In normal rabbits, the R-R interphase, P-R interphase of the ECG and the H-V interphase of the HBE were prolonged in a dose-dependent manner after intravenous injection of Mox. Mox exerted no significant influence on the A-H interphase. Conclusion ① Mox decreases the heart rate of rabbits in a dose-dependent manner in vivo. ② Mox dose-dependently prolongs the P-R interphase of the surface ECG and the H-V interphase of HBE. This indicates that Mox mainly acts on the intraventricular conducting system.

Objective To Evaluate the environment quality in underground construction site based on the measurement of atmosphere composition and microclimate. Method Concentrations and composition of gases were analyzed by combined detection with mass spectrometer and gas chromatograph. Microbial content was detected by striking method. A microclimate model was built based on the measurements of temperature, humidity and wind speed in two years. Result Concentrations of inorganic gas was higher than national standard. Total volatile organic compounds were in the range of 4~6 mg/m3, which highly exceeded the national standard. Concentration of O2 descended obviously at the time when personnel went into the construction site, and was lower than the national standard of 299 mg/m3 after continuous working for 3 h. When an aerator was started, the average noise level was in the range of 70~93 dB, which was higher than the national standard(55~70 dB). In the course of working, the average microbial content reached 4 000 cfu/m3 which was 3 times as high as the background level. The microclimate characteristic with high humidity, low temperature and inadequate sunshine was unsuitable for dwelling. Conclusion Environment in the underground construction site is unfavorable as compared with that on the ground. The physiological function of working staff may be influenced obviously due to cumulative effect of the above mentioned factors, and may lead to aprosexia, hypomnesis, fatigue, etc. Six kinds of protection means are suggested in the paper.

Objective To study on the association of apolipoprotein E(apoE)genotype with coronary heart disease(CHD)and type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods PCR-RFL,multiplex amplification refractory mutation system(muli-ARMS)and PCR-SSCP methods were used to detect the genotype of apoE,and DNA sequencing technique were used for further confrm the genotype and gene variations in 2 446 Chinese individuals,including 238 cases of CHD,316 cases of T2DM and 1 892 healthy controls.Fasting blood glucose(FBG)and plasma lipids levels[TC,TG,HDL-C,LDL-C,apoA I,apoB and Lo(a)]were measured by usual methods.Results Compared with the controls,plasma HDL-C(t=2.66)and apoA I(t=2.30)levels in the CHD group were significantly lower(P<0.05),but not in T2DM group;plasma TC level(t=5.22)in the T2DM group were significantly higher(P<0.05),but not in CHD group;systolic pressure(t=8.48,5.74)diastolic pressure(t=5.66,3.35),plasma TG(t=3.38, 4.56),LDL-C(t=2.48,7.00),apoB(t=1.67,2.24),Lp(a)(t=4.16,4.15)and FBG(t=7.04, 16.93)levels were significantly higher in both CHD group and T2DM group(P<0.05).The distributions of apoE ε2/2,ε2/3,ε3/3,ε2/4,ε3/4 and ε4/4 respectively were 0.4%,13.4%,58.0%,1.3%, 26.5%,0.4% in the CHD group;0.6%,5.7%,72.8%,1.9%,14.9%,4.1% in the T2DM group; 0.5%,10.5%,69.6%,1.6%,16.8%,1.1% in the control group.Significant differences were found between the CHD group(χ2=14.90,P=0.00),T2DM group(χ2=7.08,P=0.03)and the control group for the frequencies of apoE genotype.The distribution of ε3/4 was higher(26.5% vs 16.8%)and ε3/3 Was lower(58.0% vs 69.6%)in the CHD group.In the T2DM group.the distribution of εε4/4 Was higher (4.1% vs 1.1%),and 2 cases of ε3/3 with Arg 150 His mutation in exon 4 of apoE gene were firstly reposed in China,which is none in the CHD and control groups.Conclusions The results suggested that apoE ε3/4 and ε4 genotypes might be associated with the susceptibility of CHD and T2DM.respectively. To some extent,apoE ε3/3 may not be a good genotype for T2DM because of the Arg 150 His mutation. Blood pressure and plasma lipids could be used for diagnosis of the two diseases.
