Endomorphins(EMs),two tetrapeptides, were discovered in 1997 and believed to be endogenous ligands of μ-opioide receptor(MOR). They mediated various physiological processes by binding to MOR that couple with G-proteins. Based on our works and literatures, we reviewed the distribution in nerve system, receptor binding properties, analgesis, effects on ion channels, conformation and struction-activity relationship of EMs.

AIM To analyze the effects of endomorphins (EMs) and their analogs ([D-Pro2]EM-1, [D-Ala2]EM-1, [D-Pro2]EM-2 and [D-Ala2]EM-2) on the cardiovascular system of anesthetized rats and to study its mechanism. METHODS Responses to EMs and their analogs were investigated in the systemic vascular bed of rats and the mesenteric microarteria of Bufo gargarizans. Responses to EMs were investigated on the hindquarters of the rat vascular bed under constant-flow conditions and on the isolated rabbit thoracic aorta strips. RESULTS The EMs and their analogs showed dose-related (10-9-10-6 mol*L-1, iv) and naloxone-sensitive (2 mg*kg-1, iv) hypotension in mean arterial pressure of rats with similar duration and vasodilatation in mesenteric microarteria of Bufo gargarizans. The sequence of potencies was EMs > [D-Pro2]EM-2 > [D-Ala2]EM-2 > [D-Ala2]EM-1 > [D-Pro2]EM-1. EMs were shown not to relax the isolated rabbit thoracic aorta strips without endothelium. EMs, however, relaxed them with endothelium significantly. This action was blocked by Nx (10-5 mol*L-1) and L-NNA (10-4 mol*L-1). CONCLUSION The significant hypotensive activity of EMs and their analogs is mainly associated with their vasodilatation, which is related to the release of NO from vascular endothelium, and their potency is not completely related to their affinity for μ-opiate receptor.

The literatures were screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the literature quality was evaluated. Revman 5.2 software was used for data processing and analysis.Results:A total of 9 randomized controlled trials were included. Meta-analysis showed that delayed umbilical cord did not increase postpartum 2,24 h hemorrhage[mean difference ( MD)=-40.69, 95%confidence interval (CI) (-83.05-1.67), P>0.05 and MD=-10.33, 95% CI (-22.47-1.81), P>0.05] and did not prolong the third stage of labor [ MD= 0.32, 95% CI (-0.71-1.35), P>0.05] compared with conventional umbilical cord (early umbilical cord) method. 1,5 min Apgar scores for different neonatal umbilical cord time was not statistically significant[ MD=0.05, 95% CI (-0.02-0.12), P>0.05 and MD=-0.01, 95% CI (-0.04-0.03), P>0.05]. There was no significant difference in neonatal weight [ MD=72.91, 95% CI (-53.98-199.80), P>0.05]. Delayed umbilical cord could improve the newborn's 24 h capillary hemoglobin [ MD=17.69, 95% CI (13.55-21.83), P<0.01] and bilirubin peak [ MD=17.50, 95% CI (11.88-23.12), P<0.01]. Conclusions:Delayed umbilical cord and early umbilical cord did not increase postpartum hemorrhage and prolong the third stage of labor, and had no adverse effects on maternal. The peak levels of capillary hemoglobin and bilirubin in newborns were increased 24 h, but there was no significant difference in neonatal 1 min and 5 min Apgar scores and neonatal weight.
