1.Studies on the mechanism of EGTA-induced fever and changes of cAMP and PGE levels in c. s. f. after EGTA intraventricular perfusion in rabbits
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 1989;0(06):-
The levels of cyclic AMP and prostaglandin E (PGE) in the brain are raised in many kinds of fever induced by various pyrogens, we also know when the ratio of Na~+/Ca~(++) is changed in the brain, the body temperature changes. So it is suggested that cAMP, PGE and the ratio of Na~+/Ca~(++) are major central mediums in febril response. It is not clear what relationship is among these three factors and what are their roles respectively in the fever mechanism? It must be very helpful for the development of fever study if we can have them correctly answered. In this paper, we change the Na~+/Ca~(++) ratio by intraventricular perfusion with EGTA or CaCl_2, and observed the temperature response, levels of cAMP and PGE_2 in c.s.f. It is found that there was a positive correlation between cAMP and the body temperature(r=0.9913, P0.05). EGTA can raise body temperature. But CaCl_2 pretreatmentd could lower the EGTA fever.

Objective To elucidate the effect of postoperative early enteral nutrition support (ENS) on cellular immunity function and nutritional status of gastrointestinal (GI) cancer patients.Methods Twenty patients with GI cancer were at random divided into two groups: enteral nutrition group (EN-group, 10 cases), parental nutrition group (PN-group, 10 cases). PN-group was given total parental nutrition (TPN).In EN-group,Since the 1st postoperative day Neutrinos(r) was infused, the infused volume was increasingly added from 500 ml/d to 1 500 ml/d, the infused rate was step-by-step increased from 21 ml/h to 63ml/h. T-cell subgroup, NK cell, IL-2, PA, RBP were measured in the day before operation and on the 2nd ?4th ?8th postoperative day.Results ① The serum RBP,PA levels were obviously decreased postoperatively (P
