Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 1986;0(05):-
Metoclopramide ( MCP ) is similar to Procainamide in structure. In rats anaesthetized by ip chloral hydrate 300 mg/kg, arrhythmia induced by BaCl 3 mg/kg was shown to be antagonized by injecting iv MCP 30 mg/kg. It was also found that MCP 10 mg/kg injected iv protected rabbits against a'rrhythmia induced by chloroform-adrenaline . In anaesthetized rats, MCP 30 mg/kg injected iv raised the dose of aconitine required to induce first arrhythmia, ventricular fibrillation ( VF ) and heart arrest, while in anaesthetized guinea pigs, the same amount of MCP injected iv showed no significant action on the dose of ouabain inducing these effects. Ventricular tachycardia produced by occlusion of coronary artery in rats could not be prevnted by injecting iv MCP 30 mg/kg. It was found that MCP has local anaesthesia action.
3.Effects of nanoparticles to bone cells and potential applications in orthopedics
International Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2013;36(4):235-238
Biomaterials are commonly applied in regenerative therapy and tissue engineering in bone.Generally,nanoparticles interact distinctively with bone cells and tissue,depending on their com-position,size,and shape.Therefore,detailed analyses of nanoparticle effects on cellular functions have been performed to select the most suitable candidates for supporting bone regeneration.This review will highlight potential nanoparticle applications in bone.We found that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) display exceptional regenerative potential.The delivery of genetic material with nanoparticulate carriers offers the possibility of overcoming certain disadvantages of standard protein delivery approaches.Moreover,nanoparticles are already clinically applied in cancer treatment.Thus,corresponding efforts could lead to new therapeutic strategies to improve bone regeneration or to treat bone disorders.

5.An Algorithm for Correcting Fetal Heart Rate Baseline.
Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2015;32(5):1106-1112
Fetal heart rate (FHR) baseline estimation is of significance for the computerized analysis of fetal heart rate and the assessment of fetal state. In our work, a fetal heart rate baseline correction algorithm was presented to make the existing baseline more accurate and fit to the tracings. Firstly, the deviation of the existing FHR baseline was found and corrected. And then a new baseline was obtained finally after treatment with some smoothing methods. To assess the performance of FHR baseline correction algorithm, a new FHR baseline estimation algorithm that combined baseline estimation algorithm and the baseline correction algorithm was compared with two existing FHR baseline estimation algorithms. The results showed that the new FHR baseline estimation algorithm did well in both accuracy and efficiency. And the results also proved the effectiveness of the FHR baseline correction algorithm.

Chinese Journal of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics 2004;0(09):-
AIM: To study the protection effect of baicalin on isoproterenol (ISO) induced myocardial ischemia in rats and its mechanisms. METHODS: Forty-five Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 3 groups. The rats in control group (n=15) received no treatment. The rats in ISO group (n=15) received two times of subcutaneous injection of ISO (20 mg?kg~ -1), which was separated by a 24 hours-interval. The rats in baicalin group (n=15) received ISO as described above and received baicalin 50 mg?kg~ -1 ip. simultaneously. Two days later the hemodynamic measurement was performed and the serum levels of LDH, CK and TNF-? were detected. The expression of p38mapk in myocardium was detected by immunohistochemical technique. RESULTS: The heart function of the group treated with baicalin was improved significantly compared with that of control group. The levels of LDH, CK and TNF-? in baicalin group decreased significantly compared with those in control group and the expression of p38mapk in myocardium also decreased markedly. CONCLUSION: Baicalin has protection effect on isoproterenol induced myocardial ischemia in rats, and the effect maybe due to the decrease of TNF-? induced by reducing the p38mapk expression.

Objective To investigate the effects of resveratrol on epileptic seizure and cognitive impairment and the role of CREB in rats with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Methods TLE rat model was established by LiCl?pilocarpine injection and resveratrol was administrated at a dose of 15 mg/(kg · d) for 7 days. The rat behavior was evaluated by Racine scale and the CREB expression and phosphorylation in temporal cortex were detected with western blot. The Morris water maze was used to assess the learning and memory. Results Resveratrol administra?tion significantly reduced the Racine scales of TLE rats. The CREB phosphorylation in TLE group was increased compared with that in control group, which was remarkably inhibited by resveratrol. The escape latency of TLE group was increased at 4th, 5th and 6th day after training, and time in target quadrant was reduced compared with that in control group. Resveratrol significantly decreased latency time and increased target quadrant time of TLE rats. Conclusion In TLE rats, resveratrol administration suppresses epileptic seizure and improves cognitive function, which might be mediated by inhibition of CREB phosphorylation.
