AIM To investigate whether dipfluzine (Dip) possesses antiarrhythmic effect on experimental arrhythmias and effect on cytosolic calcium in ventricular myocytes of guinea-pig. METHODS Experimental arrhythmias were induced by strophanthin G infusion through jugular vein in guinea-pigs and by myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) in rats respectively. Cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) of isolated guinea-pig ventricular myocytes was examined with laser confocal scanning microscope. RESULTSIn guinea-pigs pretreatment with Dip 20 mg·kg-1 increased the dosages of strophanthin G required to induce ventricular premature contraction (VP), ventricular tachycardia (VT), ventricular fibrillation (VF) and cardiac arrest (CA), pretreatment with Dip 10 mg·kg-1 increased the dosages of strophanthin G required to induce VP. In the I-R-induced arrhythmic model of rats, Dip 20 mg·kg-1 decreased the number of rats exhibiting VT, VF and CA, and the number of rats exhibiting VF and CA was decreased by Dip 10 mg·kg-1. Both Dip and verapamil (Ver) decreased [Ca2+]i of the ventricular myocytes in normal Tyrode′s solution. The Ca2+ overload evoked by high extracellular Ca2+ levels was inhibited by Dip and Ver, and the prophylactic effect of Dip was less than that of Ver, while the curative effect of Dip was more obvious than that of Ver. CONCLUSION Dip has antiarrhythmic effect, which is likely related to the modulation on the intracellular calcium homeostasis.

AIM To investigate effect of dipfluzine on sodium current (INa+) in isolated single guinea-pig ventricular myocytes. METHODS INa+ was measured by whole cell patch-clamp technique in single isolated guinea-pig ventricular myocytes which were prepared by enzymatic dissociation method. RESULTSCardiac INa+ was elicited by 50-ms pulses to +50 mV from holding potential at -80 mV with a step of +10 mV, which could be blocked completely by tetrodotoxin 10 μmol·L-1. The peak INa+ occurred at about -20 mV and the reversal potential for INa+ was about +30 mV. Dipfluzine inhibited cardiac INa+ in a concentration-dependent manner. The blocking effect of dipfluzine on INa+ was reversible. Dipfluzine suppressed cardiac INa+, without modifying maximum activation potential and reversal potential. The peak of INa+ was decreased by about 46% at -20 mV and shape of I-V curve was not altered by dipfluzine 40 μmol·L-1. Dipfluzine shifted the steady-state inactivation curve of INa+ towards more negative without changing the slope factor and produced very little change in the steady-state activation curve towards more positive. The mean half activation voltage was (-34.9±5.1) mV and slope factor was (6.0±4.8) mV under control condition and (-33.7±3.6) mV and (5.6±2.4) mV following exposure to dipfluzine 40 μmol·L-1. The half inactivation voltage was (-73.0±4.6)mV and slope factor was (4.8±1.8)mV under control condition and (-82.8±7.2)mV and (4.8±1.8)mV following dipfluzine 40 μmol·L-1 treatment. Dipfluzine delayed recovery of cardiac INa+ from inactivation state. The time course of recovery was (36±11) ms in control group and (79±28) ms in dipfluzine 40 μmol·L-1 group. CONCLUSION Dipfluzine inhi- bits cardiac INa+ in a concentration-dependent manner and has higher affinity for the inactivated state than that for resting state of Na+ channels.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of individualized thrombolysis-assisted comprehensive intervention for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the lower limbs.Methods:This study included 32 patients with acute lower limb DVT diagnosed by angiography who received treatment at the Jianhu Clinical Medical College of Yangzhou University from March 2012 to November 2021. These patients first received implantation of an inferior vena cava filter. Then they were divided into a control group and an observation group based on treatment methods. The control group received thrombolytic catheterization and a routine infusion of urokinase. In the observation group, balloon dilation was performed first, and a large lumen catheter was used to draw blood clots. Subsequently, urokinase at a dose based on fibrinogen measurement was injected through a thrombolytic catheter. Swelling reduction, venous patency, and complications of the affected limbs were monitored.Results:In the control group, the difference in thigh circumference before treatment was (4.65 ± 1.06) cm, and after treatment, it was (2.76 ± 1.25) cm. In the observation group, the difference in thigh circumference before treatment was (4.73 ± 1.03) cm, and it was (1.40 ± 0.83) cm after treatment. In the control group, the difference in calf circumference before treatment was (2.24 ± 0.90) cm, and it was (1.56 ± 0.86) cm after treatment. In the observation group, the difference in calf circumference before treatment was (2.40 ± 0.83) cm, and it was (0.80 ± 0.73) cm after treatment. After treatment, the differences in thigh circumference and calf circumference between the healthy and affected sides were statistically significant ( t = 3.58, 2.67, both P < 0.05). After treatment, there was a significant difference in venous patency between the control and observation groups (34.02% [33/97] vs. 68.18% [60/88], t = 3.44, P < 0.05). After 12 months of follow-up, the Villalta scale score, which was used to evaluate post-thrombotic syndrome, was (9.23 ± 4.07) points in the control group, which was significantly different from (5.73 ± 3.39) points in the observation group ( t = 2.62, P < 0.05). Conclusion:Individualized thrombolysis-assisted comprehensive intervention is highly effective in the treatment of DVT in the lower limbs and results in few complications.

Adipose tissue is the energy storage organ of the body, and excess energy is stored in adipocytes in the form of lipid droplets. The homeostasis of adipose tissue is the basis for the body to maintain normal metabolic activity. Prostaglandin E (PGE) is an important lipid mediator in the body. It is synthesized in almost all tissues and participates in the regulation of many physiological processes such as blood pressure, glucose and lipid metabolism, and inflammation. PGE is abundant in white adipose tissue, where it is involved in the regulation of fat metabolism. PGE plays its biological role through binding to four G protein coupled receptors (prostaglandin E receptors), including EP-1, -2, -3, and -4. The EP4 subtype has been proved to play an important role in adipogenesis and adipose metabolism: it could inhibit adipogenesis while it was activated, whereas its knockout could promote lipolysis. This review summarized the relationship between EP4 and adipose metabolism, hoping to identify new targets of drug development for metabolic disorders.
